   Casey: I have to interject with your bowling instructions. It is the opinion of most Pro bowlers to extend at the elbow and let your arm swing like a pendulum. The locking of the elbow of course will work, but you lose accuracy and power. When shooting a free throw you start with the elbow locked then extend it. same as bowling your start with the ball close to your body extend and let your arm swing like a pendulum until the bottom of your swing then you hit the ball that causes the waving at the pins effect without pulling the ball, left or right. You hit the basket ball at the top of your swing that gives you the waving at the basket effect that stops you from pulling the BB left or right.
   
   Of course that is just IMO, but it is quite effective to bowl that way. to get good at it you have to be a bowling lane rat, just like BB players has to be gym rats. BTW if Sarah is a 170 average bowler, it wouldn't be unusual to bowl a 240 games on many occasions. to be a pro bowler she would have to bowl that good on the norm and not on occasions. For Rudy to make 5 or 6 threes in a row isn't unusual for any shooter, but to be an elite or Pro in Sarah''s case Rudy would have to hit that many threes at the norm instead of on occasions, and that is where his problems lay. Consistency and repetitious is what making Baskets and getting strikes is all about. No matter how good you are you will always find those bad nights. that is why I don't get on BB players cases for playing bad occasionally.

   Did i say elbow? I meant to say lock your wrist, though maybe that's not the best course of action either.

   You showed elbow and wrist, but locking your wrist and fingers (in finger tip ball) but not squeezing is good until your release then you unload your wrist somewhat like spinning a small wheel when you played as a kid, that gives you the deep hook you see pros use. Or you do the opposite with BB. You lock your wrist and unload it at the time of delivery.
   
   Mostly the point I was trying to get across is bowling is an under arm swing and BB is an over hand swing. except as you said you do when you are shooting the ball from half court in an underarm swing. Which lets you extend your arm further out to give you height for an arcing shot. Have you ever read the signs at the bowling lanes that says do not loft the ball. that is what happens when you extend your swing to far before releasing your shot. that is what you want to do when you shoot the BB under handed from half court.
