Question
Chip,  
The past few months I have starting a nasty habit.  I am bouncing the bowling at the bottom of my release about 7 times a night.  I have tried looking farther down the lane and it seems to help occasionally.  Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,

Answer
Two things to watch for.  One is your body position.  If you are bending too much at the waist, or dipping your shoulder too much, you will bounce the ball early.  Also, if your timing is off.........feet getting to the finish position ahead of the ball, you will release the ball too soon and cause the bouncing.
If at all possible, try to get some video and pay attention to your last step.

Good luck,
Chip
