Question
I am a 17 year old left handed bowler and it has recently been brought to my attention that for some reason all my bowling balls are are rolling over the fingers.  I cannot seem to stop doing this.  I have just recently started doing this but now I can not figure out how to stop doing this.  Since I have been doing this, I have busted out two pins in two different bowling balls that I own.  I cannot continue to crack my bowling balls.  I was just wondering if there is any tips that you can give me to stop doing this or if you think you know what I am doing to be causing my balls to be rolling over the fingers.  I cannot have my balls rolling over the fingers anymore.  The balls are drilled right.  I cant seem to find out why I am doing it.  Any suggestions or tips to try and help me stop doing this would be greatly appreciated because as I said earlier, I cannot keep on cracking $250 dollar balls.  Thanks

Answer
Where is the ball track in relationship to the thumb hole?

If this is a new thing, then you have changed something in your release.  Without watching you bowl, especially before the track change, I cant really tell you what is going on.  Someone that knows your game and can watch will be able to tell you much more than I can from here.

Good luck,
Chip

Just tracking over the holes will not cause the balls to crack though.
