Well i got my ball, i played about 5 games with it today. The manager at the alley i know gave me some tips, and i wanted your feedback on it. He suggests when doing the push away, backswing, and forward swing, to keep the hand cupped, so its align with the forearm and the rest of the arm. I currently let the gravity keep my wrist loose, (kind of how your common bowler plays straight ball) and then I get a bit behind it on the foward swing before release. My only concern with cupping the hand/wrist is that it will tighten my muscles, causing resistance & inconsistency in the backswing. Thanks everybody.
