I know, I know, most people don't roll the ball using a "palm-down" movement. That isn't the point.
The noun version of the sign is palm down, with a small double movement.

Is this a widely-accepted variation, or a regional one?Thanks,KimKim,A regional one.In general, signs become more simple over time. As such they will change from using two hands to just using one hand.- Dr. Bill

Thanks for the info. I think I'm finding, too, that signs are depending on the age of the person signing, which makes sense. I like the sign on your site for bowling a LOT better...I'm all for anything made simpler. :D (And also for anything that doesn't make me appear OLDER! Ha, ha).
