Since I picked up that U-Dot urethane, I've learned alot more about my release that I had trouble with and I'm starting to fix it. I practiced today, and I figured out how to lay the ball down with no loft (I've never done this prior to today) and how to increase axis rotation effectively (I switched to the CV and threw it with almost 90 degree axis rotation, it cleared the short oil, but went crazy and moved into the head pin in the last 5 feet of the lane)

Also I'm starting to get my timing down again. I'm actually making more foreward progress, hoping all these new things will help me break the 200 average barrier, my biggest problem isnt spares actually, I miss 2-3 spares every time out usually, I have more of a problem with stringing together strikes, so I need to learn how to read the lane better, I usually love one lane a pair, and hate the other.

Oh yeah, I polished up the Big One and it is usable past heavy oil now. I can actually use it on long and short oil now, its very nice, I still prefer my Vibe, although I've been overrevving the CV lately, its weird.

Take some hand out of the ball to stop the over revving. Happy to see that you've got a handle on the other stuff. But if you want that 200 avg you've gotta make all those spares. If you shoot all 9/ you only need one strike for 200 on the last ball. That's how important spares are.

I usually miss all my spares in the same game, its my problem, and its the left side spares that are killing me, but I figured that out too today, this is going to be great this weekend when league comes.

I had that same problem. I couldnt get it far enough left. So when i shoot them i line up straight, then turn my whole body, even feet, left like 15 degress and now i hit them consistently.
