Question
Mabe you can give me some advice? I bowl right handed, With two fingers in the correct bowling position without the thumb inside the ball. I am looking forward to going to a team here in Las Vegas, but it isnt legal to bowl with two fingers. how do i release it right with the thumb in the ball without snaping my fingers off  

Answer
It is not illegal to only use your two fingers to throw the ball.  Mike Miller won a couple of PBA titles using that type of release.  If you want to learn how to use thumb, visit one of the local pro shops and they can help you.  It is easier to show the technique than it is to explain it with text.

Good luck,
Chip
