I suck. Plain and simple .. and heres why

Ive bowled with great form, 200 avg, and more ball speed and revs than I do now, til I was injured quite a bit this past decade, and especially even until 2006 when I had to quite until just recently

Im trying to upload a video now. Ive had some injuries in the past 6-10 yrs that really get to me.. A torn ACL and MCL on my slide leg, torn Rotator cuff and tendon and nerve damage in my hand, Both on my bowling arm..

So over the years I have altered thing to help take some stress off things.. ESPECIALLY the shoulder . I have a little compilation vid Im trying to upload now but its taking forever, so that you guys could help me.. I know Im bending my elbow a bit and am a little stiff on the release, but hopefully that will come in time, with practice..

But what is the cause and solution for getting a nice smooth release, instead of the hop?

A double dribble, for me, usually means I'm grabbing the ball and bad things are happening at my release. Usually when I grab, I tend to turn my hand early and my fingers/thumb come out almost simultaneously. But when I throw it well, I can feel the thumb clear nice and all the pressure goes onto my fingers AND there is no double dribble action.

I want to say bending your elbow is forcing you to clutch the ball. Try straightening that out and really relax your hand at release. More is less in bowling.

Naw, you have the market cornered on stupid comments. Such a big tough guy. Find it amazing you obsessed over what ball to get before you got your Diamond Back. Really sounded more like a high school girl trying to decide which prom dress to go with. Really precious.

Precious ? well I dunno about that.. A concerned question, yes.. And for you and the other dipsh!ts in here that accuse me of Being good, being able to bowl better than women, saying women suck, etc etc , bla bla bla.. I ll say it again for the 100th time.. this ALL started because I said we need more hot women In bowling lololol.. ppl need to learn to read threads instead of just jump on the hate wagon, because I said none of that.. actually I said the opposite.. Oh well

You sound like you''''re a pretty funny guy to be around but for some reason it doesn''''t tranlate on here. You posted what you did about the women bowlers. Immediately got called on it and instead of clarifying your position, you inflamed the situation. Just think a little more about what you mean before you respond.

well thanks man, I guess my sarcasm doesn''t translate well through the net. And for the 101st time, I just want to clarify , I am not good, I once was , I''''m trying to get there again, I never criticize anyone ( first ) , Every woman bowler in the PBA and probably 50% in the amateur world could kick my *ss, I don''''t intentionally have nails shot into my hand, I''m sarcastic, I''m real, not fake, tell it how I see it, and am also laid back.. So when I make a comment about hot women bowlers and it turns into this " Hate on MJ , bandwagon crime" I just have to laugh it off and F3ck with you guys right back..

I''m the kind of guy that will talk on the lanes to get you going, but only if I know you. If I roll 6 in a row, your gonna get a sh!t grin.. If you kick my *ss , hey you got me good job.. Always better to be confident than weak.. I''m thick skinned ppl , nothing anyone says on here will ever get to me, and if you knew me in person you would understand that I will give you Sh!t, and mess with ya, but am a good sport, so if I get my *ss kicked , Ill laugh at myself right along with ya..

SO that''s my attitude and personality in a nutshell.. Now you all know . If you don''t like it , to bad, in all reality you''''ll never see me so it is what it is..

For those that actually answered the question in the OP , thank you .. Now I''m off to have a beer , chat at you Fawkers later
