Never seen a video that really gets into that split second reaction with the elbow and hand for creating the revs for those extreme entry angles. Mr. Coffey thank you so much!

One of the best bowling tutorials of all time! (been bowling over 30 years too)

Thank you for this helpful video. I just fell in love with bowling at the old age of 47. I’m looking for all the help I can get.

Excellent description. One of the best I’ve come across so far.

That was very informative. The way you broke in down in slow motion was great. I started bowling in 1959 but never really leaned the basics other than what I was able to figure out myself. Thanks for the lesson

Excellent description most clear explanation I've seen! Thank u so much my bowling has improved too thank u!

By far one of the best instructional videos I’ve seen thus far - if not the best. You hear people all the time saying it’s like releasing a yo-yo... well that’s kind of hard to grasp with a 16Lbs ball instead of a yo-yo lol. Your video explains it perfectly! Thanks!!

That slo-mo release at the end of the video is one of the best on KZfaq. You can really see the thumb coming out and the fingers pulling through the ball. Thanks man... maybe I’ll get it.

I always rolled the ball with a "pendulum" swing (arm completely straight right through release), and I've always struggled with getting the ball to hook on the back end. I don't know why it never occurred to me to bend my elbow, but as soon as I started, I began SLAMMING the pocket! The elbow bend also helps me keep my wrist slightly cupped, whereas before I had trouble with my wrist breaking on my backswing and through my release. Such a simple change, but what a huge difference. Great tip! Many thanks!

this is so bloody simply explained that you can practice in time with the slow motion and feel the different parts of what Mr. Coffey is talking about... can literally record yourself and compare to the the slow motion examples... thank you a thousand times... and now for a thousand practice swings! hahahah

Ive always been a 2 finger bowler only used my thumb on a 10 pin sometimes. Just recently started trying to use my thumb. Hurt it a couple weeks ago think i was getting to much on top or something but this video helped alot. Thanks.

Best video yet on the hand positions. Most other experts miss the basic details.

Thanks very much, Michael. I've been looking everywhere online for just such a breakdown.

Great video really good specific techniques - slow motions video and camera angles are the best I have seen on youtube.

Great explanation and very good exercises. Best videos I have seen yet.

Thanks. I like your explaination, short & clear (compared to the other youtubers bowling video)

Dude ur insane bro u helped me understand how to hook a bowling ball thxx continue making this gr8 vids

Excellent instructional video , thank you young man !

Been doing this since the early 80ies. A must-do-practice If you wanna improve your stance and consintency 👍🇩🇰

these slow-mos are extremely useful

That slow motion really helped a lot.👍

Excellent tutorial brother, humble thanks for making it

Great video to show what the hand actually does that slow mo was perfect!

Love the video!! thanks.

Excellent teaching ~hope to learn from you chief^~^

you can tell you're a really good bowler. thanks for the drills

Could you please cover the drill and rev/hand placement for a full roller?

sooo easy to understand. thanks

Thank you so much EJ swing is same as you teach (S Korea bowller)

Wow 🤩 this is amazing!!! The best slow motion video ever seen !!! My story, I’m a 51 y/o in July 13,2024, stared at bowling 🎳 last year as a 50 y/o things. Right one hand bowler that can’t curve a ball 😢 Watched a video of making your fingers going in side the ball and developed a back up ball motion ( for the last six or seven months that was my game) With this video I could correct my ball motion to go straight but can’t curve the ball right to left 😢and when tried to lift the fingers my middle finger It hurts a lot on the sides next to my first joint. Did I’m doing something wrong?? And some time I can curve the ball but must of the time it goes straight 😢 Please 🙏 help!!!

This was extremely helpful, I injured my hand and wrist and lost my feeling for my release. The slow motion was a great idea

Thanks for this video

On an earlier video you talked about lift. Seems a lot different then what you are talking about here. Is this the release you learned at KTC?

When you get to last step, I missed the slide of the foot to feed the ball into the lane. You just plant the opposite foot from bowling arm. So how can you get flat spot in the swing that way, plant and fire?

Good information.

Great videos. Question: I am constantly in between squeezing because I feel like I'm going to drop the ball on the backswing vs. that one extra piece of tape making me lock up at the foul line to where the thumb gets out way late. H E L P!

I tried helping someone understand how to curve a ball, and I gave him some simple stuff to try but I always saw his elbow flat in line. Next time I see him I should help him with footwork

do you put more pressure on the ball with index finger?

When exactly does the thumb come out of the ball? After the final position of the hand is reached?

Great video

With yo yo release, does it make spinner or semi roller track on bowling ball. if I use yo yo release my ball works SPINNER.

What finger pitches do you use?

What should my Forefinger and pinky finger positions be? Nice video by the way. Need all the help I can get to beat my brother on a consistent basis (Good Ole family rivalry).

this video is great. the only thing i personally dont agree with is having to keep your elbow bent through the entire back swing. tons of pros and amateurs who have a straight elbow in the back and first half of down swing

What the weight of your bowling ball?

I thought this was about drilling holes, lol. Wow, you stand on the 35th board and throw it over the middle arrow.

When I bowl it rolls over the holes. What am I doing wrong?

Uber talented kid. If u think this video is good, you should see him bowl. Keep bowling my man. You have what it takes. Hopefully the money out there will increase enough that it's worth chasing.

Really helpful. Thank you. I'm trying to do the same thing you're doing at 1:13 but I'm having trouble. Any advice on how to do that?

Thank you for the info! I am struggling to see the bent elbow in your slowmo demonstration and am wondering HOW important it is in the end. (Total noob here - no criticism)

Why do you tuck in your pinky like that? Is that normal?

That was very informative but doesn't really apply to bowlers life myself. What I mean by this is that I don't use a thumb, ever. So with that said, what would your advise be for bowlers like myself?

Super helpful, straight on point, thank you !

Tqs

What is the name of the song?? @1:03

That lady with the green ball keeps freaking me out!

Bookmarking. Very clear and simple.

Great video. I did what you said and my rev rate is still in the low 400s. How do I make it in the upper 500s like all these kids are doing these days? I'm only 40, I"m not that old.

I bowl at vero wild lol

mix oil and pattern names pros leges

OFSET DRİLL?

old type ball

That sucked to see you have that equipment failure at Lane Glo.

Chode thumb

Like I said before house shot videos make people better than they really are

Your shop looks like a garage sale gone bad

😂😂😂😂 most can't get hand under bowl. So say fingers. How you should bent elbow. But release drill your elbow str8? 🤔🤔🤔

You would not need all the stress of staying under the ball and bent elbow if you bowled two handed. Deep down in your heart you know that

Weak.
