the big thing i saw was that your swing was not straight at all and came back behind your back and when you tried to swing the ball forward the ball naturally went to the right. kinda looked like you were twisting your upper body to get out of the way of the swing. instead start your stance by slightly opening your shoulders toward your target, this may necessitate angling your feet at well. then you just need to work on keeping the armswing straight from the moment you start the ball into your swing until you release the ball. and by straight, i mean in line with your target, not necessarily with the lane itself.

ignore the gutter ball


Why...it went right where you through it. :) LOL



Just relax your armswing. Push it out and let it fall. Dont try to throw the ball, just swing your arm.

you came behind your back ...and when you were following thru you came around the ball instead staying behind because your backswing was in the middle of your back... you need to keep your swing straight and kinda loose and just roll the ball dont throw it... make the ball work for you.. you not work the ball

It looks like when you start your ball the balls gets pushed or falls off to the right. Personally I would rather have the ball drop slightly to the left. But I do agree open you feet towards your target and let your feet dicate how your body will be aligned to the lne.

The start of you your approach and swing are very critical, if you screw that up... why even roll the ball.

Maybe try shortening the first two steps as well.

You could also try the "Chris Barnes" deal where he puts is hand on the side of the ball when he starts.

It would be interesting to see side view.

Honestly this gutter ball shot is probably one of the best shots to show. It definately shows some flaws.

Do you remember what you target on the lane was?

yea i was aiming in b.w the 2nd and 3rd arrows, roughly board 13... the ball i was using is the storm dimension; i love the ball but it's way too strong for a house shot, i'm so worried that if i miss in, it will over hook (as it has many times), so i try to miss out, hopefully just not too far (like in that case)... i'm going to try these ideas out and see how it works... very fustrating one week you can feel great, next week you feel like where did it all go
