Roll it instead of lofting it?

Now you have to get your posts straight! If your going to troll be consistent about.

Over on the other forum you said "sometimes it bounces off the lane".


Which is it?

Loft it further. Can't bounce if it doesn't touch the lane.

Get a heavier ball. Then fill it with helium.

Drill quarter width holes into the ball, and fill it with rolls of quarters.  Ball plug the top. 

The ball will roll like money.

LOL that great!!

Trivia
Something similar some bowlers did years ago. They had the finger holes drilled  little deep. Then after check in, they pulled out their finger inserts and stacked nickels in the holes and then put the inserts back in.

But that wasn't as good as the PBA guys that got caught putting mercury in their ball.

A 10-pound ball? Have you seen a doctor about this??

How much does your other ball weigh? Maybe you are off balance?

2handedvolcano maybe you should post a short video of yourself bowling. I find it hard for an adult of 25yrs to be using 10lbs balls. Unless you are handicapped with physical disorders. Then I could see the acception of 10lb balls.

He did post a very short video earlier in one of the other threads.  It was difficult to tell, but it looked like he was using a two-handed chest high release.  No back swing, just a release from the front of his chest.

 He should post a new video showing him from the front. This would give him better support from people on here.

 If he doesn't post a new video the only safest sport him may only be checkers on his computer. Wait... He might get electrocuted if he beats the computer. Pin the tail on the donkey. Might fall and pin himself. Can't play chess with a senior citizen. He might get attacked with a pawn. Can't waste a knight. Jacks with a child. He could get ninja'd from the kid. Those jacks hurt.

2handedvolcano,  If you are releasing the ball from about chest high, that is the cause of your ball bouncing.  Most bowlers try to release the ball just slightly above the surface of the lane unless they are trying to loft the ball for certain lane conditions.  It used to be said that you wanted the ball to glide onto the lane like landing a plane, minimize the bounce.  You are going to have to go and see a certified instructor who can watch you bowl and make the appropriate suggestions for your style.
