Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've posted as I've been comfortable with my game, but last night I had an interesting experience. I generally don't throw a big hook, and love to play down and in lines. However, while trying some different releases last night I was surprised to find that I could hook the ball much more than I thought I could. I still have to tinker with becoming more accurate with it, as I haven't had much experience with it, but I think it could benefit my game by giving me more options on how to play the lane.
As the title says though, I'm a bit concerned. Part of getting this hook involves bending my elbow a bit, which I'm not sure is good for consistency since it involves the use of more muscles. Next time I hit the lanes I'm going to try to get rid of the elbow bend, but I'm not how successful I'll be.
So I guess my question is: Should I be concerned about this elbow bend if I'm bowling well with it?
