I am trying to learn how to use this style consistently, but I am having trouble performing the unique spinning, and end up slightly curving it, which also messes up where I throw it. Does anyone have any advice on how to throw it exactly, or an in-depth instructional video? Or does anyone just have any advice in general? I could really use help with the release, though...

spinner as in helicopter/ufo?
usually spinner's problems are when you twist your wrist your arm tends to swing to the left (assuming ur right handed and spinning anti clockwise)
do u know the axis of how your ball is spinning?
or the oil of the track on the bottom of the ball

i have seen hundreads of helicopter style players during my vacation in china.

normally they are tossin 10 lbs and few onces makes difference

and yes, for high rev players, the ball does hook, but from left to right (right hander)

a good helicopter player can average 200 anywhere, but i think thats about the limit

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

actually thats not the limit.
helicopter is hard to control because you have to twist the wrist and flick the ball with the thumb.
that kinda power in the wrist and thumb is hard to control. doable but just hard to be consistent.
consistent helicopters can average 200
good consistent helicopters can do a lot better =)

well i ve seen a lot of ppl playin that style, and god, u gotta see the number of single pins they leave, some solid 5, 7, 10 are just too common. i dont really expect them shottin 220 average with a 10 lb

7 and 10 aren't really a problem if you can manage a 11lb and adding more speed.
issue is if you bowl fast with spin its very hard to control due to the rotation of the wrist
but i gotta admit pin 5 is an issue.

right now 7 and 10 is no problem at all. pin 5 is diminishing too. i use 11lb but adding power for more pin action really lowers accuracy a lot. sometimes totally pissing the 2nd or 3rd pin too.
kinda sad but eh... practice makes perfection i guess

ur right 10lb leaves alot of single pins, AND splits.i guess they gotta live with that, change their angle of approach, or try to manage a heavier ball.

wait i heard quite the opposite.
helicopter was developed where the lanes were over-oiled. dry lanes cause the spin to drop causing a hook at the back end
