🤔 So you have been trying to learn how to properly hook the bowling ball but you still have not been able to figure it out?
Today I am going to share with you How to Properly Hook The Bowling Ball and how you can start doing it as soon as today.💪
This is what I will do:
1. I will show you the 5 foundational Tips on everything you need to know to properly hook the bowling ball.
2. I will show you the best drill you can start practicing today.
3. At the end, I will give you a game plan you can also start implementing today!
First things first, I want to clear out the air and tell you that there is NOT a perfect way to hook the bowling ball. Why? Because you’re never going to use the exact same release and get the same results on different oil patterns, let alone different bowling lanes.
However, if you want to take bowling seriously and want to become a great bowler in most oil patterns you MUST have a great foundation with your release.
👉This is how you start:
0:00 Intro
1:55 #1: Inside OR Behind The Ball
2:58 #2: Your Hand Underneath the Ball
4:24 #3: Hook The Ball With Your Fingers
5:08 #4: Check Your Follow Through & Hand Position
6:12 #5: Bend Your Elbow Slightly
7:00 Putting it all into practice, let’s go!
8:00 “Your Game Plan” IMPORTANT!

I reviewed this video. Specificall Tip #3. I want to thank you for this so much. Why? I bowled a 247 in my league last night. I have been bowling unkowingly using my whole hand for the last 5 years. Suddenly, my thumb fit perfectley in my bowling ball and my revolutions just went sky high. Also, I could control my Axis Tilt to match the lane oil pattern. Considering all the other videos I have watched, your video, so far, is the only one I have viewed that emphazied Tip #3. My gut tells me that you are a very good bowler yourself and a very good person. Thank you so much for making this video. You may indeed be a genius. As it is said "You Can't Prohibit Genius"

When you say your thumb fit perfectly what was the before feel to the after feel? Meaning was it a loose fit before to make you squeeze and then the thumb was tighter so you didn’t have to squeeze or was it extremely tight before and then became loose. Just honestly asking is all. I love my thumb to be extremely snug so I can totally relax my thumb that’s just me tho

@autodoson1 11 ай бұрын

Squeezing the ball too hard with thumb because I was not getting my fingers in first then the thumb. I then placed one piece of tape in my thumb put my finger tips into the holes at the first crease and slid my thumb in next. I'm an ex semi fingertip bowler so I was ignoring the span of the ball and digging my fingers in too deep which caused me to over squeeze my bowling ball because I was ignoring the span created by the fingertip drilling.

I followed your 5 tips and in my second game I got 5 strikes and 2 spares. The first game I got one spare learning the technique. Once I settled down and just rolled it easily with the hooking technique on the right side of the lane, The ball was hooking nicely for the second game. Thank you. I just bowl maybe 5 times a year and could never hook the ball. I watched your video a couple of times.

I've looked at a lot of videos and this one I believe was the most helpful. Thank you again.

Great video man. I recently started bowling over the past month on a league with my friends, and have been using the 2-finger, 2 hand method since that is how my friends have been throwing, and taught me to do so too. It's working ok, but before I get too far along, I wanted to give the conventional single hand a try with the thumb. I had a ball drilled today, and realized that I absolutely cannot keep my hand behind the ball to save my life. I was really caught off guard realizing how weak my wrist is. I lift at the gym 3 days a week, and thought I had enough strength, but boy was I wrong. I'll definitely be doing the exercises you showed here. Thanks for the video.

@DrBoX89 Жыл бұрын

Awesome video! I’ve been bowling for a long time and I’m what most players would refer to as a pure stroker release. I want to transform my game because my pin carry is not great. I am definitely going to practice your foul line drill many times until I get it right!

@tonyguerrier2258 2 жыл бұрын

League nights I’m finding that early in the night I’m having an awful time from getting around the outside back to the inside. I know it’s not what “everyone” does but I really need to use the 15 min of practice time and throw the foul line drill over and over to warm up. Thank you for making this video! Just a suggestion, since you were so detailed and easy to understand maybe show a couple of the examples in slow motion? Thanks again

This is the first time seeing how to properly hook and surprisingly it’s almost exactly how I taught myself through trial and error. When I first started I couldn’t figure out how to hook with the thumb so I don’t use my thumb but I might have to make an adjustment so I’m more consistent

@KGAGamer Жыл бұрын

Bank when I played in High School (not as part of a team, just hobby) I got some pointers from some better bowlers. One in particular was a big help for me with hooking the ball. He told me when I go to release the ball, move my hand as if going into a handshake. I've done that for a long time and had decent rolls. Granted, I'm several years out of practice and was rolling consistent gutter balls just the other day lol... But that could just be lack of practice and stance and all, gotta get back in the groove! This certainly helped me out, thanks a ton!

I’m curious about the slight arm bend you mention. I’ve seen some videos where they mention not to have bend in your arm and swing it more like a pendulum for consistency in the shot. I back to around a 210 average after not having bowled for 10 years and simply by keeping my arm extended I noticed a difference in rotation, ball placement and proper follow through. I feel as though adding an arm bend, however slight it is, would create an inconsistency in my shot. I’m a mid rev tweener and usually throw a slight down and in. Using The One that was just released and it’s rolling really well. Thanks for the tips though and thorough explanation.

I worked at a bowling alley as a teenager, and bowled league as well. I stopped bowling when my son was born, he’s 18 now. I haven’t bowled league in 18 years so to say I’m rusty is an understatement. I joined a league with a starting average of 110, I’m now 122, I’ve been bowling since the beginning of the season in September. While I have improved, there is still a lot of work to do. Your video gives me a better understanding of what I am doing wrong and what I should be doing right. I throw a straight ball, but would love to add hook to it. With your tips and pointers I might just be able to accomplish that. Any other suggestions you can give me that aren’t in the video ? Thanks for great info!

I seen in the video that you have your hand on the inside and before you release the ball your hand went toward the center of the ball, looks like you relaxed your arm before the release the ball. I seen a lot of bowling video and I don't thing any of them showing arm-hand-elbow position of releasing the ball. I had to slow down the playback speed .25 and I think this is the best one yet. thanks for showing this.🙂
