Release affecting pin carry?
« on: April 21, 2005, 05:22:40 AM »
The house I normally bowl in, has been rather dry the past few weeks.  I don't know if this is their version of the "Come back next year!" shot or not but thats whats happened.  Anyways, I've changed my release some to give the ball more length, by going from a thumb at 11 oclock, to thumb near 9 oclock.  I know this produces a stronger, later backend reaction.  Since changing to this, I can get the ball to the pocket but I have left 3 stone 8 pins in maybe 4 weeks, when before I wouldn't leave a stone 8 but once in a great while.  

Does anyone have any insight on why this axis change has caused the stone 8's, and has anyone had anything similar happen?

Ball is deflecting too much for whatever reason. Most likley there is a difference in entry angle to the pocket. I don't know for sure, but I believe entry angle inconsistancy (commpared to before) could be your problem. I have no clue what a 'proper' entry angle is, or how to achieve it with a release that promotes side roll(your new one), so I can't help you there.
Good luck figuring it out!
