  My coach teach me to release my ball....like yo yo
  
  he says drop like yoyo and then fingertip pull up....i dunno what he really means....anyway
  
  I am really intrested on how some bowlers have high swing and from my view,they like spinning the ball upon release but it actually hooks....i want to learn that but i dunno why my ball is unable to do that kind of potential

  i suppose u r talking about hook bah..i think what he really mean is not to force the ball and juz let the ball down using gravity (like yoyo?) and then lift the ball lor (fingertip pull up)....no need high swing also can hook one..
  last time got one legendary PBA bowler nv swing his ball much also..think his name is Tom Carter??high swing is more of having more power to ur ball. using physics to explain.. G.P.E = mgh..so the higher ur height the higher ur energy..

  nonono PLEASE dun get wad ur coach say in the wrong light, the yo-yo or frisbee release is a very strong release, as it is hard to tell u over the forumn, its best tt u can get ur coach to show u, we can do u this favour too (bowling session victor's superbowl 17/6 2100hrs) btw, i rem u said u r pretty young, if ur coach is confident in letting u try this release, u shld be of a certain std, whu is ur coach btw?

  hook is a bit hard to do if u don't have a strong wrist or a base foundation of bowling....spin is easier but young new bowlers always anyhow spin and injure their wrists...So how was the results today?

  high game of 180... the 9th & 10th frame were spent fooling around with the hook ball
  
  the other 3 games were spent totally fooling around... my attention span is very very short

  if anything is wrong with my bowling game, it's paying attention and concentrating
  
  i can concentrate for about 3 frames.. then my mind wanders and i end up looking for things to eat, people to kachow, and drinks
  
  i'm a social bowler
