guys I'm still working on keeping my thumb to the right during address and delivery.I don't know if this is a strange question but with this kind of delivery is your thumb supposed to be all the way in the ball????Would it help to keep my forearm more open also??? thx for all the help!!

Yup...thumb is always supposed to be all the way in the ball.
yes your thumb should all the way in the ball.
I'm sorry can you refresh us on your original problem?

sure,I'm trying to get a good release by coming up the back of the ball.I've tried the rotating the hand/wrist I'm just not consistant enough with it.So I'm going straight up the back getting the late movement on the backend.Just wondering if my thumb is in the right spot by being all the way in,I'm also trying to get my release more consistant to see if my ball is drilled strong enough so hopefully by improveing my release I'll find that out before redrilling or buying a new ball.My BWS is drilled just like the toxic a few threads under this one so that will give you a good picture of how the ball is drilled.It's for length so I tend to struggle in the first game of league till it dries up a bit and then I can get more angle on the pocket.thx

With any release, thumb should be all the way in.

No matter which way you try to release the ball, your thumb should always be in all the way.

what I taught my ole lady to do is this...its simple yet effective...she holds her ball with no tilt..just straight..so she does her backswing..when it comes back down at her leg I told her this...think of it as throwing a cup of water over your shoulder...as you turn your hand to throw it over..it gives its tilt and hand...throwing it over your shoulder gives you follow through...she practiced it...and with her high score being 200....this past sunday she tied it...and broke it..with authority...200...211...and a fricken 234....I am so proud of her..yay!
