i have to admit, i have this problem. i only bowled about 10 games the last 2 years because of rotator cuff surgery, came back and i could not hit my mark to save my a##. finally slowed down and tried to keep my arm swing in tight and release the ball fairly close to my left ankle. it kept my shoulder up plus i got a lot more lift because i didn't kill it by dropping the all and tugging it. it's the first time i have tried it, seems to work for me, plus you only have 1 thing to concentrate on. i think if i get my arm out, i kinda chicken-win it and throw it about 2-3 boards of my mark, every time.
