CONFUSION...
« on: July 27, 2003, 11:34:36 PM »
I'm a right handed cranker, but I track left handed. I don't know why I just do. I don't throw a backup ball either. I'm confused as hell. I mean my ball crushes the 1,3 pocket, but it just tracks left handed. The good thing is that  now I know how it feels to be a lefty.

where is your track? close to fingers like 1/4" and the thumb is 2" away?

is so that is an inverted track. a left handed track would be on the right side of your grip completely. which is it?

ask TTBDepot about where my track is at. He knows more than I do about this stuff. I just know that it isn't natural.

The only way I could picture it is if you were leading with the thumb pointing at the pins and coming completely around the side of the ball (rather than from under/behind it) to get this weird track.  Either that, or you were incorrectly taught right from left and are actually using the "wrong" hand!

Where is the bowtie? (you know...the point where the flare rings all touch)

I'm still trying to fathom how a non-backup bowler could manage to track to the right of grip center...but hey, stranger things have happened I guess

I've seen bowlers with tracks that run over both inserts but be almost 3 1/2 inches from the thumb. My team mate did that for nearly half of last season. But he is finally leveling out and he now has a pap of 4 1/2. mine has changed as well from the begining, i started at 4 1/2, to now 4 7/8 and 1 inch up.

After seeing the same type of lane conditions and making changes over the season in pitching and spans, i was not surprised to see my axis point changing.
