I've been working on holding my ball lower at the start of my shot and staying relaxed throughout the shot. In case you haven't seen me bowl before, I usually have a really high backswing, and my game is usually a power game. So, a friend made some suggestions for me to try, because he saw I was pushing my ball through the breakpoint. So, I did it and it worked well. Here's a video that shows a good example of what I've been doing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YNPhO0XAH4I've found that I've been supporting the ball weight at the start-up mainly with my left hand, and the right hand rested on my right thigh, causing me to be able to be very relaxed at the start.
Anyways... where's this heading?
I went to practice today and had my best set I've ever shot.
