Can someone go into depth on rotation and tilt, and tell me how one would increase/decrease rotation and increase/decrease tilt. I know what they are, as I've read ron cliftons articles but still don't really get what the goods and bads are. Is tilt good or bad or does it matter if it's consistant? How do you match your rotation to your tilt? What exactly does rotation and tilt do to a bowling ball. Just looking to understand best I can. Thanks.

What do you need to do physcially to increase/decrease axis rotation and tilt? And how exactly do you know if your axis rotation matches up well with your ball speed/tilt/revs?

AXIS ROTATION
The point that your PAP is facing at release (facing gutter 0° facing foul line 90°). Higher degrees of Axis Rotation promote skid and delay ball reaction.
AXIS TILT
The vertical inclination of you axis at release. This can be determined by measuring your track diameter (for every 1" < 13.5" = 6 2/3° of tilt) The less axis tilt you have, the sooner the ball will go into a roll. Higher degrees of axis tilt promotes skid. Being able to change your axis tilt using your release style is a very important tool in your scoring arsenal and in your ability to be able to play the lane condition.
