I was there also, it was well worth it. Del changed my stance a little as far as ball placement. He had me place the ball a little more towards the center of my body, so that my head would line up with the ball. He stressed to me about the importance of letting the ball hinge from my hip so I would eliminate snatching at the ball (I was extending the ball in the pushaway). Also, he made some adjustments to my thumbhole where I was hanging up, and had me take all the black tape (4 pieces) from the back of my hole and use a 3/4" piece of white tape along with only having thumb tape on the back of my thumb (I had it on both sides). The results were astounding. I was able to relax my grip pressure and release the ball at the same point every shot after the changes. also my ball speed went up naturally (before I was muscling it to gain speed).  He made some minor changes to my span and pitches (I will have those balls on Thursday), to increase my rev rate. According to the article in August BTM, currently I'm a 4 (slightly speed dominant, 320 rev rate-17 degree axis tilt-18 to 18.5 mph), but Del said after the changes he made come into effect, I'll be a 3 (ball speed matches rev rate).

I bought a Mean Machine, and the free ball (Artillery) to be drilled.

Yes, that was her. She was very nice to talk to, gave some helpful insight on the new equipment and far as me putting tape in my thumbhole.

Carl,

Del did give me the layouts to put on the Artillery and Mean Machine, along with suggesting to put a bigger weight hole in my Aggressive and how to put together my arsenal. also, he had me change from Power Ovals to Ovals and my thumb pitch from 0 to 1/4 reverse.
