Would this make more sense.....
« on: July 26, 2004, 07:36:03 AM »
Ok, I got a test ball from my new driller. It was free! Its a danger zone tour edition, one of his old plugged balls. That has nothing to do with my question just for those who are curious... Well I got my new fit and I like it so far but I have one question....

Ok, with my new fit I no longer have to squeeze ball in the back swing. Which is a mjor improvement. But, I was wondering if it is alright to have some grip pressure(I think thats the right words) at the bottom of the swing (release point). Thats how you create revs is it not? B/c if its alright to have soem grip pressure at bottom  of the swing then my new fit is great! If not then I dunno...

Someone please help me! Thanks.

Revs are created by the rotation of the fingers at release. See http://www.bowl4fun.com/ and check out the finger dancing tips.
http://www.bowl4fun.com/ron/tip32.htm is a great tip on relaxed vs death grip of the ball.

All squeezing the ball does is make you muscle the ball, instead of keeping the swing loose.

Maybe squeeze was the wrong word... AHHHH Now I need a new tape! When will this madness end??? I am smoothe with this release and my track is no logner inverted. Plus, my PAP went up but not sure to what... Any other suggestions or advice?

WEll for those who remember my last video some people said it was smoothe and I think with this fit its even smoother than that so maybe I am using the wrong terminology...

If I replace squeeze with grip pressure would it make this alright? LMK. Thanks.

Many certified Instructors describe the proper grip pressure as: "Grip the ball with about the same tightness/firmness that you would grip a bird in your hand if you were trying to keep it from flying away."
