Bowling/Generating more revs

Question
I seem to be having a big problem generating more revs.  I throw a Lanamasters Sure strike, and i cannot generate alot of revs.  My coach tells me to try to cup my wrist, but i can't seem to keep it cupped throughout my swing.  Help please?

Answer
If you are going to try and cup your wrist, you need to wait to do it as the ball starts the downswing.  If you try to cup the ball at the start, it will limit your armswing and actually lower your rev rate.  Try to catch some video of Tommy Jones, Rober Smith, or Chris Barnes and emulate them.

Good luck,
Chip
