I used to play mostly inside. This season I've been playing more up the boards. I think flattened out my wrist playing straighter then I'm used to. Last night I tryed to move inside and it was like I never played that shot before. I cocked my wrist up a little the 3rd game and it came back to me.

My ? is it normal to alter you wrist/hand position and you play different lines.

Greg - I'm the opposite. When I move inside I use more rotation to give the ball the ability to make it back with some POP. If I'm playing "up the boards" I throw it with less rotation to keep it predictable and in play. Of course, this is only valid for most of the "easier" lane conditions. Obviously, if it's a short oil pattern where the breakpoint is way outside, roatation will be useful, and inversely, if it's a tough "tight" shot and all that's left playable is inside, if there's no swing area to be found then you would want to keep roatation under control to keep the ball in play.

The farther outside you play, the straighter your wrist should be. As you move more inside, the more your wrist needs to be cocked. =:^D
