QuestionHow do you know or what do you watch to see if the ball has "rolled out" which results on no hitting power?

Hello again LD. In my new book I discuss at length, situations about roll and roll out. Knowing that a ball has rolled out early on the lanes can be frustrating at times. Often the problem can be a slow speed bowler, or a bowling ball which has a large core with a low grit surface. Another factor that adds to the problem is having an lane surface that is wood. If that wasn't enough, having a short oil pattern and a low volume of oil across the lane can really get to you. Especially, when it comes to the ball rolling out too soon. When a ball rolls out, it has lost axis rotation and axis tilt. It also slows down a great deal and often hits the head pin with lost energy and is often deflected.
When it comes to roll out, I describe it as a broom stick that is rolling level to the lane.
Roll out is a matter of coming from the outside trying to get back to the head pin. We love to see the ball hook into the pins. Such a long path may allow the ball to turn the corner and look great, however the ball straightens out too soon and rolls back on the side of the headpin, instead of continuing the roll angle into the front portion of the headpin.
In my new book "True Bowler Adjustments," I describe several other situations where the roll of the ball is crucial to scoring and can be tracked by the eyes. It is a interesting book and a must read for those who want to string strikes. Thanks for your question LD.
