The time, tunnel-vision, and introspection I have applied to my follow-through
after releasing a bowl is substantial. I have attributed so many missed shots to
this or that error in releasing the bowl. For example: my hand came up too
high or not enough; my palm turned inward; my arm came across my body; my grip
was imprecise; my little finger should be raised more or my baby index got in
the way and caused a swerve. Well folks, my experience, little as it is, is
that a different factor is more important than any of the usual combinations of
the above mentioned putative failings. For me, it is the backswing that is overwhelmingly
important. It should be slow, deliberate and critically- your delivery arm needs
to be tight enough to your side as you draw it back to brush your body. Only if
this happens will the bowl easily and naturally follow your aim line.
The corollary of this is to remove all bulky objects from the pants pocket on the delivery arm side. They will and should ( if you are doing it right) interfere with a proper delivery.

If you use the Shooters' stance the comment that your delivery arm needs to be tight enough to your side as you draw it back to brush your body would not apply.
