Mastering Thumb Release for Higher Rev Rates

💡Releasing the thumb quickly and keeping the fingers in longer is essential for increasing the rev rate in bowling.

🔑Practice drills like releasing the ball with thumb and fingers separately to improve thumb release speed.

🔧Use a drill at the foul line to simulate the release motion and work on getting the thumb out faster.

🏋️‍♂️Building wrist strength and forearm strength can help in creating higher rev rates in bowling.

🎳Focus on dragging the fingers on the approach while releasing the ball to increase revs.
