I bowl on a more lighter drier side house compared to the ones I bowled at. Also, even many tourney's I've bowl in tend to be drier side too.
I had a more up the back kind of release. My rotation was no more than 45*, hand position 5 - 6 o'clock and it was natural. Now I'm struggling to even do this simple release I once had. I have more side rotation and I'm early on the down swing. I've been bowling on a "drier" house for the last several years. And I think I"ve changed because of it. (well one of the reasons) Granted I was gone for a year, but looking at videos prior to my leave, I've been aware of my release.
I took recent videos of myself and I look much more improved on my approach to the line, but I feel it's a waste of improvement when my release looks so weak. My hand turns as it reaches my back pocket, and I'm no longer "under" the ball like was before. I tried letting my forearm/elbow lead my swing, but I end up throwing an end over end straight ball lol..... I don't know what to do....
