At least you have friends

@@nerdysocks8061 this is the best comment i’ve seen in 2 years

Don't worry. I started off not good at all. Now im the most improved bowler in my league. Keep at it.

@@nerdysocks8061 Lol

Same

You too?! That’s why I’m here

If it makes you feel any better , my brother loses to his girlfriend all the time 😂

Same as well

Same 😤

Same here, she had me by 44 points, 98-54. It’s time to lock in 😤

Btw just asking did it help

No one asked🤣

If you're no good at bowling, this isn't really a good tip for you. This tip is more for people who are able to line up and hit the pocket consistently. You should have a basic set of fundamentals in place before trying to adjust hand position between shots.

Wow that’s amazing. I’ve never had surgery on any of my shoulders, and I went bowling 2 days ago and didn’t get any strikes. I did get 101 points though. (That’s good for me)

@@Urmom_com_my_place try getting reconstructive surgery on your left shoulder, I think that might help!

Doctor was unwilling to do reconstructive surgery to improve my bowling average. Glad it worked for you, but this tip did not help me

Same here

Actually going opposite to which hand you use is better for hooking

I just tried this twice and got a strike on the second time! Thanks~

I've had good success with a half step forward. Sometimes you roll a great shot everything is perfect then bam solid 10. With the half step forward I've noticed the 6 will kick out the ten pin. I've also heard taking a half step back from your starting position is good also. Give both a try see what works u. Peace

This is how I bowl medium ball I don’t put my thumb in ever and I throw it down while twisting my wrist as hard as I can and it’s pretty solid

Nope, at home, about to go bowling and I want to beat my family

just buy it lmao

@@bencepinkal8480 same but with my friends 💀🤣

(I also replied this first paragraph elsewhere). 22 years ago I shot my personal high game 270 in a situation where I had to take my hand out of it as much as possible. It was on very dry wood lanes. I don't have trouble making the ball crank, but my speed was not up where it should be, and on a dry lane I had no shot. I used my storm spare ball for a strike ball and rolled it with as little hook as possible and my shot hooked less than Shannon's first ball in the video. It was actually a no tap tournament, but my 270 was natural because I left no 10 pins. And I didn't finish in the money because other better bowlers benefited from a few free 10 pins. I never bowled that way again though, it was just an emergency measure. Trying to deliberately make less than 10 boards of hook takes all the fun out of it for me. I never got within 20 pins of 270 again either ... I'll have to fix that. I haven't bowled since 2003. I got tired of fighting dry lanes, and houses that catered to bowlers that complained if there was any oil, because they can't crank it and want to hook like they can. I was in a league where suddenly there was real oil out there one week, and I was loving it while the rest of them grumbled. There was real oil the next week too, and I overheard guys grumbling that they suspected the house was catering to me. Then the next week after that it was dry again. I talked to the owner and he told me he mistakenly set his machine to apply oil in both directions, causing the machine to apply double oil, and it took him 2 weeks to notice the mistake. Anyway I'm retired now, the game has changed, and I want to start again. I'm going to look for a pro shop that can help me locate my PAP and explore what the latest ball technology has to offer, and see if there's a house around me that will apply some oil.

Great job on the lanes! Thanks for watching! Keep up the great work.

This old guy in my league, told me about oil patterns. The only sport/game where you’ll get pointers from openents. I ended up throwing 5 strikes in a row. After that he said he should t have said anything😂😂

She does bowling tips in Tuesday. They are short vids, 2-3 minutes long

I was thinking the same thing. This lesson should have mentioned that with more axis tilt, the bowler needs to adjust their arrows. This would really help the occasional bowler, everyone else would know that already

Great game yesterday!!! Thanks for watching our videos and good luck on the lanes, we'll be rooting for you to make it to states!!

Did you make it to state

Thanks for the kind words! Stay safe and healthy!

exactly, bit of a crock going on there, and still left the pin

🙄

Try not to get used to the brace, because it makes you dependant on it

Glad to hear it!

Great question! The point at which you start rotating your hand around the ball depends on how much axis rotation you are trying to achieve. More axis rotation = turning your hand around the ball earlier as it will take more time to accomplish that. Less axis rotation = turn your hand later. And in regards to your question about playing the inside part of the ball, remember the wrist and the elbow are two totally separate parts of the arm that work independently. You can rotate your wrist around the ball without rotating your elbow and "chicken winging" it as most people say. Focus solely on rotating your wrist while keeping your elbow on the inside of the ball and you will achieve a nice, solid release.

@@insidebowling Thank you very much for your nice and expedient reply!

Just at the point of release when the ball is over the foul line!

@@insidebowling I prefer to release behind the ball but have been working on getting more axis rotation. When I feel like I really "hit" it hard, I go through my aiming point at the arrows but go WAY further right of my intended break point. At that point there is zero chance of the ball making it back to the pocket. I haven't figured out what is causing this big "skid" stage yet? I don't feel I am pushing it. Frustrating...

The new wrist brace rule actually won't affect Shannon to much as she usually doesn't bowl PBA National Tour events. The new rule does not affect the PWBA, PBA50 or PBA regional events. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching our videos, we appreciate it!

Shannon uses a Vise wrist brace. You can check them out here: www.viseinserts.com/

Hope you get back on the lanes soon when it is safe to do so!

Yep, They are creating Fun Centers now days

Is she a selective mute IRL?

No this wont work with a normal house ball, you cant really hook/curve those. The advice is just relevant for advanced players who have their own bowling-balls. Beginners who dont have their own balls are better off just bowling straight without trying to curve the ball All those videos are very misleading in the way that they advice you to hook or curve, stand in a certain way etc. because casual players dont have their own bowling balls and they need to throw straight

I should try that lmao

Wtf?

I agree, yet I think this shows her actual gameplay without making it look like a bowling God throwing strikes left and right, was a good decision, it shows that they're being honest when making this video

Throw it left then ;)

Keep practicing and watching tips on KZfaq. You’ll get there.

@@tleav61 thanks

@@supersentallupinurmouf lol

If you comment here with the name of your ball we will be able to tell you if it is a reactive ball or a plastic ball! Also, new shoes can take a while to work in and get used to. Keep bowling with them and you will get more comfortable!

@@insidebowling oki hold on

@@insidebowling an I don’t know the name of it but it does say Brunswick on it but idk if thats what you mean but I can post a video of it on my channel an maybe if u watch it u can tell by looking at it.? EDIT: it might be a urathane ball

If you have a proshop in one of the centers near you, you can ask the person working there. They will be able to tell you.

@@davidchamberlain5146 oki ty

This particular tip does not depend on the ball. This tip is more about hand position and creating an effective ball roll. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching!!

Wait so you don't move your wrist for the curve
