lifting the fingers vs driving them at release
« on: January 22, 2010, 08:47:40 PM »
What's the difference in terms of execution? How do I know if I'm lifting the ball at release vs driving my fingers through the ball at release?

After a short break and many trials, I'm finally getting the hang of this cup-uncup release to some extent, but for some reason I get inconsistent results.  Sometimes it turns hard to the pocket exactly, goes brooklyn, or not turn the corner at all.

As a result I'm guessing that I'm lifting the fingers at release, which I know isn't the way to do it anymore due to modern equipment.  The correct way I've heard is to drive the fingers through the ball after you uncup, to be gentle with it at the bottom so that it can turn the corner consistently or something to that extent.

How do I do that?  I feeling so close to taking my game to another level yet I can't understand what to do after you uncup at release.

I think maybe what your after is instead of having any kind of loft in your release of the ball to the lane you want to set the ball down in the lane and drive through the release to your target down lane.it takes a little more knee bend and moving your first target close to the foul line helps until you get the feel of it.think Wes Mallot type of release and where he targets the foul line instead of the arrows.
