i learned more from this video than i did in 3 seasons of amateur league bowling thank you so much (i always throw what they call a "backup" ball)

love this guy's release... pretty smooth

Do you realize how many sites I went through for this answer you gave in 3 minutes! Thank you!

Definitively how to change your axis rotation by hand position at release would be the icing of the cake for this video. Or maybe another video? Thanks for all the help.

I started bowling in the late 50s and by the summer of 1961 shot the first sanctioned 300 at that 16 lane house. I threw almost a full spinner which left a wide track on my ball. I used tape as you show when I practiced and it showed how the ball spun for about 30 feet and gradually the roll got higher until it became what we called a 3/4 roll. It went pretty straight until it started to roll. That's when it made a left turn into the pocket. The lanes were maple and pine, maintained by lane man who kept the lanes oiled and buffed. Instead of patterns like we see today, his goal was to buff and oil each lane the same every night. Back then it didn't matter where you bowled or what lane you were on, each lane played a little differently. I was successful because I could get a sharp hook into the pins. It was fun, especially the pot games. I wonder if the guys still have those. Thanks for listening. I could probably go on all night but it will be another time. Bob

I believe there is a proper angle the ball needs to be rotating as it hits the pocket. If it is too little (vertical) it leaves a weak ten. But if there is too much axis rotation (horizontal) then its blasts the pin around the ten. The ten pin issue supersedes the problem of needing more hook, which I address with a ball change and keep my axis rotation constant and modest. Plus, not being big or young I lose too much power if I'm not behind the ball.

Good video, hand positions to change axis rotation would be good

I LOVE this video and the explanation but like HOW do you change the axis rotation. I just feel like I need more of an explanation

Thanks for this video. I've been working on my release and the wrist movement, and finally have more revs. But my axis rotation is less than 10º. Now I know what I need to do if want the ball to hook more.Thanks.

Author, you are a bowling God thank for this video and your wisdom

Brilliant!!!

Y’all make it look so easy

Slow motion about release 0,45,90 Thank you.

Nice! It’s interesting seeing how hard it was for your bowler to keep that 90 degree shot on the right side of the headpin, yet PDW makes it look so easy.

I love how the first ball with hand up the back the ball exits the pin deck in the 9 pin spot, Then with just 45 degrees of rotation the ball runs over the 8 pin that's a major adjustment!

When in was a kid my axis rotation was about 80 degrees or so throwing short pin urethane balls, now it’s between 30-60 depends on the lanes and pattern

So for us Full Rollers axis Rotation is 90 axis tilt is 0? Is that correct?

Love you arthur

I struggle to execute the mechanics of access rotation correctly. There are many times where instead of bringing my hand around the ball, I’m rotating my wrist. Sometimes so extremely that I end up with my hand almost on top of the ball and it being in a flat spin while it’s skidding. Any tips on internalizing the correct motion?

Storm has a find your ball function on their website, and they ask spin axis. Could you do a video showing an axis of 50 degrees and 70 degrees? I guess average is 50-70 but don't really know and would like to know before I spend 100+ dollars on a ball. Also would like to see the difference in axis height. I know what my ball looks like when I throw it, would just like to put in the proper information.

Where can i find a bowling coach in South Carolina

For some reason I cannot bowl with my thumb in. I cup and just use my midddle and ring finger. High game was a 258. Not bad! Played on a work league for 3 years. I don't take it seriously just fun to bowl!

Thanks for the tip, but how do u figure out where to put that tape at on the ball

Nice!

Love my hook... Haven't rolled a ball in yes.. Miss it much

Arthur, How is it possible that he pushes the ball to the left gutter and the ball still moves to the 10 pin ? I’ve been hooking incorrectly I’ve been “moving” rotating the hand like a hand shake from the side of the ball but I see here he is like slapping mosquitoes from his left ear motion with his right hand ?

I throw at about a 60-70° angle as a two hander this works best for me to balance speed and rev rate

axis rotation, sorry. I have a clockwise release with various finishes from straight behind to 9 o'clock thumb position . I'm coming back 30 yrs. later . Any thoughts would be appreciated . thx, Tony S

So I've been trying to get this for bit now just now getting into bowling seriously my question is is the release the same from straight all the way to 90 or does it change?

'access rotation'

I have a question.. when u do axis rotation are you keeping your wrist straight or snapping it? Are you rotating your wrist/arm without snapping it? Thank u so much.

i understand the concept, but HOW do you execute that?

Ok ... I just got a Astro Physix. The SOB really hooks at about the 42 ft break point. When I say hooks, if I'm lucky it'll take out the 4 & 7 pins before dying a quick death. I start on 42, through to the 15. I think my problem is speed. I have a rev rate of 200-217. Just watched your ball speed video. Another coach suggested shortening the 3rd step (4 step approach from the rear dots.) and stretching out the slide. ... Now I'll shut up and listen! Thanks.

Do you stay 90 degree position through out the downswing?

btw guys this guy works in jib lanes i go there

I'm a fairly new bowler average about 120 just got my own ball not too long ago left handed and have no idea about pap or any of that stuff. I have problems with my release on how to get around the ball or whether to stay behind the ball any tips or videos on that would be appreciated. Basically I don't know how to get axis rotation

Most pro shops drill a ball's thumb hole directly below the middle point of the finger holes which forces your hand to twist to the left if you are a right hander in order to get your thumb into the thumb hole. I find this uncomfortable and puts your hand into an unnatural position. To me it seems better to have the thumb hole placed to the left side of the middle finger hole. My question is: Does this in any way affect the axis rotation?

When i try to increase my Axis rotation, i tend to pull the ball and miss left at the arrows. How do I remedy this?

1:50 this is EXACTLY what my ball does. I know it's my hand. I cannot tell what I'm doing wrong though.

How do I get more side rotation

QUESTION: the ball is smashing the back of my ring finger on the fingernail when I throw, and causing it to go black and cause a lot of pain, and have tried everything I can think of to remedy the situation from different inserts to drilling angle changes. Help!!!

I heard that you should have axis rotation but I have also heard that you should be underneath the ball as much as possible. I am really confused.

If you live in California can you give me a lesson ASAP

My knuckles are killing me After 3 games. The pr sho said we are not getting any younger. Well they never bothered me before the replacement thumb holes.

I recently started bowling league, and one of my biggest issues is getting more axis rotation. I come from behind the ball too much (I just dont want to have my hand to far outside during my swing, but getting my hand back towards the outside is hard). Makes it difficult to move left sometimes, but this vid helped. Thank you.

How much do you charge for a lesson

I wish there was a slow motion video of how to adjust your wrist motion before releasing the ball and getting that axis rotation.

Probably should mention that the core of the bowling ball has a lot to do as well

With super oily conditions would more axis be better or worse

So my question is how exactly do you change your axis rotation?

How ya doin' ? 😂

I can't hook my bowling ball.

I swear every time I try 90 degrees It hooks less or is it me

なるほどPAP 、、、、わからん

First?

Why do you pronounce it “access rotation” lol
