Without seeing any video, I'd have to say that you might not be keeping your elbow in during your down swing. Try keep your elbow in, even trying to brush it against your body during your swing. Just be careful not to wipe out your knee lol...

if you really want to improve,get a coach,1 or 2 lessons and you'll learn how to hold the ball,delivery and target.BAD bowling habits are easy to start and tough to break,a good coach will point you in the right direction!
