This is old school stuff. If you want to throw a straight ball or a slight curve if you have a urethane or resin ball, this is good advice. If however, you want to throw a hook, you really have to get your hand behind and slightly under the ball. This is ok advice for the occasional bowler, but then again pros probably aren't watching this. I'm no pro, but I did bowl varsity for high school and have been in a league ever since; I usually run about a 200 average and have thrown several 300s.
All hand positions have a purpose and if you want to keep your average above 200 it would be wise to learn them and what affect they have on your ball reaction. The ability to adjust is key on any oil pattern due to the fact that it can change on you at any moment. I bowled a 260 yesterday using this particular hand positon and a 300 last year using a cupped hand position while staying behind the ball.
@kingwillie206 I think teaching the "suitcase" grip is a quick way to get someone who has a perfectly straight, or worse, backup ball rolling right-to-left. From there an inexperienced bowler gets the "feel" of the ball coming off the thumb first, and then the fingers, and learn a more proper release from there. I DO adjust wrist position (anywhere from full cupped to "broken") but I can't picture a condition where this grip would help. But hey if it works for ya, do it!
Ugh, do not listen to this. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or even a straight bowler, you need to have your hand behind and in the middle of the ball to attain the most accuracy and power. A bowling ball is a bowling ball, not a briefcase. Or even inside the ball as you'll see with PBA's power players, they get to the release point and then snap up the back or around the outside. This tip will give you a ball with no revs, no speed, and poor control.
