Brett George = Bowlers News Brett I loved your magazine - I think you should put a $2.50 price tag on it (plus postage) and get it out to Newsagents and Bowling Centres. I am sure all bowling centres would order 100 copies each in advance and get the paid order to you and then recoup from...

Sinisterx8 Brentons advice is excellent - from your post you seem to use tape and the feel of the shot is compromised by the tape. You could probably check with a ball driller the pitches of thumb and fingers (yes finger pitches will cause thumb exit problems also) - this could have effect...

Granat! Drifting left - How many Boards? Is the real problem drifting different amount of boards each delivery? Does it affect your swing and release? Does your drift change when you are sighting through different target areas? Do you have two or three steps that are uniform each...
