Here's a video of me throwing the Pink Hammer a few months ago on a 41ft 3.5-1 ratio "challenge condition".  Note, this is a traditional release(which has jack chit on my two handed release), not my two handed release(of course you'll see it in the video)

Here's a video with my animal, xception, vicious attack(getting weaker), and v2 particle.  Only the animal has my correct span though, the rest are too short for me right now(especially the xception).

thats what summer bowling's for...working on stuff...knee bend, getting to the foul line, work on free armswing, starting further back on approach and taking longer steps.(shall i continue)...i usually cant make huge changes during the season as my teammates in my mens league get quite pissy if I start bowling like crap(i mean weve won 2 quarters already).  If i actually try to improve and go on the "coaching slump" which usually follow big changes i'm in some hot water.  Summer leagues mean nothing to us.

im 6'5" and i throw the ball like a pansy(former teammate used to always tell me)

Here's my vid(thanks BMM for the editing!).  This was about 5 months ago at a collegiate tournament before I converted to a two handed release and polished up my game.  The shot was a 41ft 3.5:1 ratio shot that played very long and flat.  Almost sport certified, the backends were very touchy and if you missed right, it stayed there.  None of the balls look spectacular in this video but you can attribute that to not having a bounce of a wall to make the balls rebound off of

In order of the shots here's what balls I was throwing

Shot #1(Tight Inside light mixer strike): The Deal, 4 1/2 inch pin to PAP, 1500 smooth surface
Shot #2(Tight Inside high flush 9-Pin): Switch Blade, 4 inch pin to PAP, box finish
Shot #3(Moved 5 right with feet & eyes, nosedive for a big split ): Vicious Particle Pearl, 5 inch pin to PAP, strong MB position
Shot #4(Tight Inside Strike): Pink Hammer, 3 inch Pin to PAP, lightly polished

I wish I could have bowled with this back in the day when they first came out.  I heard that this ball was da bomb.  Today, it looks like it goes as straight as a plastic ball.

Remember, this was a 41ft pattern.  Most of my stuff looked like plastic for the first 50 feet on this pattern, lol.  My revrate at the time was around 320-340 and I had a lower track(PAP 4 over, 1/4 up, track diameter of 11 1/8).

It definately doesn't hit like plastic though, the Pink Hammer drives through the deck, punishing the pins with the scorn of hellfire and brimstone.
