Span Chnage to increase side turn ???
« on: November 12, 2008, 09:38:52 AM »
Is it possible to change pitches or your span to increase side turn on a bowling ball ? For instance I see people droping the ring finger 1/8" or so to do this is this ture? ?? I get to much end over end roll. I tried to change hand positions it just seems like i cant get out of the ball early enough to do this ?

Input please ???

You ever try pulling the pinky in and spreading the index? I get much more side rotation with no additional effort.

Drop your ring finger 1/8" and add 1/4" right pitch to each finger hole. That'll do it

Right pitch in the thumb could increase axis rotation
