i finally got my vid
« on: May 03, 2004, 07:37:58 AM »
I think I finally figured out my school's ftp program and webservice stuff, so here it is.  The video is a little dark, you can see the jist of it.  The ball I'm throwing is my Freak Out.  I am not sure of my measurements, so I have links to pictures of the ball.  I noticed, that on the freakout1 video I popped up a bit, which is something I do more than I want.  Feel free to comment or drop a question.

Edited with the second video, and some notes.

It's drilled for length, not necessarily dry lanes.  Probably skids through the oil and has a big backend.

I knew my walked was messed up, but I haven't had any problems with it, I still manage to drift my way back to where I started.

Looks like you "dump" the ball at the line; like it gets off your hand a bit earlier than necessary.  A foot or two of loft wouldn't hurt.  Also, staying down is good for leverage and leverage is good for average.  All things considered, since you can't argue with results (I mean, you were at least getting strikes), I'd say you're doing pretty well.  What is your average, strike %, spare % etc.?

I ended the year with a 215 average in one league and 206ish in my other league.  For the most part, spares save my games.  My guess would be I strike 30-35% of the time and pick up 90-95% of my spares.  I don't string a lot of strikes often, but missing spares makes me more angered than not carrying a strike.

That was my initial reaction as well.  It looks as if he turns the ball really early.   Looks like he "goes over the top", instead of up the back of the ball.   Which seems to work on todays THS.  I get up the back more and unfortunately causes the ball to rev more and read the lane sooner.

Thanks Jeff, thats quite the overview.  That will definately give me stuff to work on over the summer.  Hopefully I can work on that stuff and give an update video in the future to see how it looks.
