Question from YouTube:

Q – I’m 41 , have been throwing the same way since I was 18. I was taught to carry and throw the ball like you would a suitcase. I am trying to change over to a more conventional throw of behind the ball and letting thumb come out first and rotation with my fingers on release. Is there an easy way to train off the lanes to get the “memory" of my arm to program this way? I tend to mess up on league and throw both ways, keeping me in the high 160’s and want to get better.

Question from Facebook:

Q – I’ve had several instances of ball damage at my local bowling center lately. They’ve “repaired" my ball by filling gouges and missing chunks with clear resin at no charge. My questions are how much can this affect the balls performance? What is the centers responsibility to the customer for lanes that are continuing to cause damage to balls from screw heads that are sticking up in gutters?
