I Need More Axis tilt very badly.

[ek11sx]

I always roll over the thumb hole on every shot. It hasn't always been this way, but I need some serious advice on increasing my axis tilt, I'll try to get a vid of me bowling so you guys can critique me more.

Ok, is it rolling over both thumb and finger holes?

[blistershurt]

tilt or rotation?

If it's tilt then, come out of the ball sooner with your thumb and rotate slightly more than what you're used to

for more axis rotation, then turn more before your thumb comes out and the fingers follow through.

what would be the differnece of the two, i need to lower my track away from the thumb.

[blistershurt]

oh, just turn on the ball more, the track will lower, I did it to mine, my track used to go over my thumb, I just started turning on the ball more, key to it is to turn more on the ball before contact with the lane

A very simple way is to pick-up a football, and roll it a few times like you were bowling(at home don't try on the lanes:p ). Anyway you can really see how much tilt you are creating as the points of the ball will show you where the axis is. If you don't have a football you can do something similar with a can of food. It is so simple to show someone in person with a football.

You actually have a nice shot. Really, check if your balls could have a weight hole added in a place to alter your track.
