wally300 -- Congrats on your talent and accomplishments. I agree with bowlingtourneycom, you have to trust your talent. Many pros use the mantra "trust is a must" when they face a pressure shot. In one of Bill Taylor's pamphlets, either "Fitting and Drilling" or "Balancing a Bowling Ball" (these may not be the exact titles, but that's what they're about), he addresses the tendency to press on presssure shots, and gives a diagram of how the pressure affects the follow through, leading to shots that are off just enough to lose carry. If you can get a copy of this, I think it will answer your questions about what's happening. -- JohnP
