Seeing you are in the US. Get a Baseball pitching machine and use it to replicate the bowler.

Using your the new bowling machine as follows.

Its sole purpose should be for you to use it to repeatedly practice a shot. This is so that when you face the same length and line ball in a game you will automatically be able to repeat the shot (this is called muscle memory and it is roughly estimated it takes between 5 to 10 thousand repetitions to achieve). Practice as much as possible and you will improve. Make sure you use the bottom hand to push through your shots. Most of the direction of your shots will be controlled with your top hand, don`t hold too strongly with your bottom hand. Use it to push through the shot.

Use your practice sessions to find out how YOU do this best.
