Just curious, how much does the Paradigm weigh?

I used to just float the ball out there really slow, with not much hand at all, but as I've gotten older, my revs have increased.  I have a ball that I have been using since I was 14, and the track was on the left side of the pin (i'm left handed) now I track HIGH right next to the thumbhole on the right side.

I was also throwing 15 lbs, which after drilling is 14 and some change, and after seeing a video of myself realized that my backswing was out of control, way too high, which in turn forced me to pull it downwards to keep my timing correct. The weight just simply became too light for me. Also since I've been bowling a lot more, I feel like I am just completely turning the cover off of the ball as well.

I would suggest that next time you practice, try and figure out what your old release was like.  This took me a while, but I figured it out, and it gave me some added length to my shots.  Take the ball and don't try and turn it at all, just lift through it nice and easy, and let it go, and see what happens.

I know you say you're not doing anything different with your release, but if you are putting more revs on it, most likely you are, or you're just hitting up on it a lot.

The nice thing about todays equipment, it will do a lot of the work for you, so you don't have to try and over power the ball with revs.  I would go throw a few practice games and just let it slide off your hand easily and just barely lift up on it, then adjust it from there.

Acually this happened to me at the end of my fall season...

I used to be a down and in player with slow to medium revs, then all the sudden a few weeks later i found myself revving the ball harder, and also keep moving left (because the ball either comes high or dives through the nose). To this day now, i am a cranker instead of a tweener/stroker (i think i started watching Tommy Jones to much), and now my wrist hurts .

Anyways, the other day i tried throwing my Action Packed down and in, and guess what.. i got the 7 pin! Now throwing down and in i cant even get near the pocket, and i can't take any revs off the ball (though i am working on it).

I say just start throwing a slight, very slight swing shot, and you'll adjust into it

Have you been keeping it polished ??  If you've kept it polished, than the other posters have it right on the $$$ about your style is changing.  If the answer is no, it's likely that a track has burned into your ball and it's now hooking earlier than it used to.  That leads to what you described as having to move further to the left over time.  If you have a chance, take a look at your ball and see if there is an area that looks duller than the rest of the ball.  

If you find that dull spot, take the ball to the pro shop and ask them to polish it for you.  It'll cost about $4-5, but the result will be that the ball will react similar to when you first bought it.  

I experienced the same thing when I started bowling again last season and I was still learning how the game has changed in the past 10 yrs.  I usually hand polish my pearl reactives (like the Paradigm) every 10-2 games or so.  

Hope this helps
