Have you video taped your release? If not, ask someone to tape you and do a closeup of your hand as you release the ball, watch it at full speed then in slow motion. Compare that to the better bowlers using a semi roller release (maybe you can ask someone to let you tape their release) and I think you'll find that your thumb is rotating up instead of down. Sorry I'm having troauble finding the right words, I think I could help you in person easier. And, dumb me, I just noticed your name which means you're left handed, so in my previous posts that mentioned clockwise or counter clockwise reverse what I said. -- JohnP
