how u grip ur ball?

hmmm ok what i'm learning now is ...

when i hold the ball , thumb @ 10 o'clock ,
then my last finger is near to my 4th finger while my 1st finger is stretched out wide ...
cupped the ball so that i wont break my wrist while letting it go ,

but the thumb problem ... i always hold it too tight ... because if not hard enough then my other fingers even thou squeezing the ball but still cannot support it ... weak wrist and fingers i guess ...

I meant how do you use ur thumb to grip your ball.. how is it in the hole..?

if i were 2 separate my thumb , say 2 parts , i'm using the 2nd part nearer to the palm to grip it ...

ur ball should just slide right out.. is ur hole too small for your thumb.. put in your thumb straight in fully and pull it out.. it should have minimal or no resistance... maybe you need reverse pitch drilling.. but nahh.. I dont think so..

unless you are really squezing it so tightly until you could jsut hold ur ball overcoming the momentum.. to cup the ball you dont need to squeeze the ball.. just imagine at the point of release.. you want to use your two fingers to poke right into the ball..

the thumb hole is ok , fits in and out nicely ,

ok noted down ur advise , tomorrow i shall try and see how it goes ... now can maintain 120++ and less gutter ball

compared 2 straight last time , around there but gutter ball is kinda frequent ... considered as quite ok also le i think ...

or altenatively.. you could try what I try to do always when I was small.. at the point of release.. try your VERY best to make your whole hand to go under the ball.. but this method will not go well with your coach because if you over do it.. you will bend your arm when you release it.. a slight bent at the point of release is ok.. power players usually do it.. but dont lah bend too much.. ahahha..

he wants me to get my basic good 1st b4 teaching me more ...

hand straight up , and not braking the wrist , no power incurred , just release using the momentum swing ...

and thanks for your tips , i will try to impose it + creativity to see how it works tomorrow ...

hi everyone. appreciate some expert opinion from you guys here....
i just got a new ball - brunswick power groove. i noticed there's difference in the drilling, whereby it is drill just next to the ball....ok im not sure what you call it....sorry for being a noob...it's near this yellow dot, where the driller will take it as a drilling mark.

for my previous ball it is drilled further from it. may i know is there a difference to it? i mean near to the yellow dot will causes ??? further it will causes ???

i just tried once last weekend. so...couldn't really tell/feel much differences...besides comparing it to my older plastic ball would be like comparing apple and orange...

that one is called "pin"... for balls like the plastic balls.. the pin is no use.. you can drill it anywhere you like.. for reactive balls.. it is very important.. all reactive balls have a core in them.. the core makes the ball unstable hench the power for you to hook.. the pin is a reference point for the drillers to know where is the top of the core.. the head of the core lah...so they drill it accordingly.. thats the basics.. want to learn more? google.. kakaka..

google bowling ball pin location or bowling ball pin placement..

hmmm.....mcm menarik je..
