bryhardt,

I'm glad that you put these videos online as I had been looking for some quality release videos for some time. They helped to clarify what I need to do to improve my release!

I was wondering if it's possible for you to edit some of the videos that you have up on the site from the link you provided. Some of them look like you started them right at the release point. Some examples of videos that could be improved are your 13.46 162 8.22 high high, 15.73 257 11.1 high medium, and 16.7 121 4.8 high medium videos. I and I'm sure others would like to see a bit more of their swing leading up to their release point; for example the 16.68 143 5.84 low low and 14.40 295 14 high low are great videos. Would it be possible to fix the other videos to show a bit more of the swing? Or perhaps you could use my input for future videos.

The videos are captured with the new Casio EX-F1.

I agree. For some reason my flash video converter likes to chop off the beginning of the videos. I didn't realize this early on when I was batch creating videos. I need to go back and fix some of the ones that are really chopped off. For all the videos I have the approach and ball hitting the pins. But most of the video is dark because the high speed requires natural or a lot of indoor light. So I have to focus a quartz light at the release area.

Nice looking specs. For the ball speed/rev rate, did you calculate based on time to get to the pins/time for the tape to rotate, or do you have some other analysis program for that?

Awesome! I can't wait for your future videos.

The speed calculation is based on the time and frames. The rpms etc.. are based on tape movement.

I am trying to compile a list of side shot videos to show aspects of late, early, timing etc... If anybody feels like they want to donate to the cause let me know. Even if they are youtube links I can grab them from there.

Thanks...

Nice job on the videos.

I'd love to see all of the different releases going fully down the lane, all with the same ball on the same oil. Just to compare the different reactions the ball gets from them.
