Into the rotation

My practice today focused on axis rotation, meaning how you manipulate ball reaction based on which finger swings through the ball in the release. I tried index finger, middle finger, and ring finger types of rotation, and found that I got the best results on the house pattern using the middle finger type of axis rotation, which puts some side rotation on the ball (index finger rotation increases the side rotation, ring finger gives the ball more forward roll). This was also something I found useful when picking up spares, as I can kill the hook to a large extent using the ring finger type rotation. I didn’t really care much for scores today, but I did have 2 games over 210 (including a 222 first game) before I made a lot of bad shots in the last game.
