So I've been working really hard on my approach lately, just wondering what you guys think. Advice is welcome.

Looks like you slowed yourself down a little bit from older JBT videos Ive watched with you in it. You still throw one hell of a ball in my opinion. 

PAP- 4in right, 2in up of center of grip.

Rev Rate-400ish

Ball Speed 18.0-19.0 mph

I score well with a slight chicken wing  

Arsenal: 

Storm VG Nano 

DV8 Hell Raiser 

DV8 Reckless 

DV8 Misfit- Orange and Blue, Light scuff with scotch bright to smooth out reaction

Storm Natural

Thanks! That's one of the biggest things I've been working on. I used to be way too fast.

solid, although you are going to possibly have knee problems later in your life because you dont slide...you get a ton of leverage but doesnt that wear on your knee?

It looks like you slowed down the approach and getting a little more knee bend than the past.  Also looks like you're coming out of the ball cleaner than before and letting it do more of the work.  Both things definitely will help you control the breakpoint much more than some of the earlier videos I've seen of you.  Good job with the improvements,  Either way, you still throw one hell of a ball. 

 

Just keep working on this because it will continue to improve.  Only suggestion would be to try sliding a little more instead of planting at the line.  This can also give you even more control and prevent possible long term damage to your left knee.  A perfect example would be to check out some videos on YouTube of Robert Smith.  He's very similar to you in cranking it but uses the slide to help give him a ton of power and control at the release. 

BTW- It would be interesting to see you throw a Track 919C and/or a Hammer Brick sometime in a reaction video if you're able to pick that up at some point.

Thanks everyone! As far as slide goes, it's kind of a strange story. Ever since I first started bowling, I planted. No one ever actually explained to me what an actual slide step was until I noticed the difference just recently. It frustrates me, because it's almost physically impossible for me to slide on my last step. No matter how hard I try, I just can't. I just hope it won't mess up my knee. It hasn't so far, so hopefully it will stay that way, haha xD.
