rolling over thumb
« on: November 16, 2009, 06:08:01 PM »
i have been bowling for 17 years and the last year and a half i have had back and knee problems but still bowled. but now i am healthy again and tracking way to high. i'm a 230 league bowler and bowl all pba regionals in my region and have bowled well the last few tourneys as well. but suddenly since i got healthy my pap has moved to 5 in right and 2 in up. i can drill symetrical balls 5x3 and 5x4 but i just drilled a virtual energy 5x5 and it slighty rolls over the thumb and my mutant cell pin up 5x5 and it's almost on the other side of the thumb. is it release or is it the 1/4 reverse i have in the thumb and i use thumb molds. all suggestions will help please.

A weight hole away from your PAP should increase flare and get you away from your thumb hole sooner.  This is just a band-aid.  You are probably tracking higher due to squeezing the ball.  Ease up on grip pressure by getting your fit checked out.  You shouldn't have to have a death grip on the ball to hold on.
