Thanks for watching!

Cheers for this, been searching for "do you roll or throw a bowling ball?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Piylivern Remarkable Predominance - (do a search on google ) ? It is a great exclusive product for discovering how to up your bowling game quickly minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my colleague got excellent results with it.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

unlike those douchebags brad and kyle...

Thank you for watching our videos! We really hope they are helping you on the lanes!!

Nice!!! Way to go!!!

Thanks for watching and thanks for the great question. Even though it's referred to as the cross over step, it really shouldn't cross over past the previous step. Ideally that "cross over" step should end up just more in front of the previous step to help to create room for the swing. I hope that helps to answer your question ands thanks again for watching our videos!

Hi there! It's super difficult to give a general answer due to the fact that the lanes are different each time. However, "generally speaking," when the lanes start to burn up and break down, more rotation is going to be beneficial because it is going to help your ball get through all of the friction and retain more energy for when it exits the pattern. Again, it all depends on what shape you're trying to create on the lane, so there is no perfect answer to this.

Give it a try! Keep working hard!

When you go back into your arm swing do not engage any muscles. Let gravity bring your ball down in a smooth continuous motion. Just before releasing engage your muscles and hook the ball. Relax your muscles in the downswing. This helped me alot.

Kevin Scarborough bad habits are hard to break. I am doing it less and less though. Better timing has helped a lot with that as well.

@@TheVlad1616 it takes a lot of time...I did this for years and I’m almost fully 100% gravity driven on my swing now and it’s so much easier for repeatability on shots.

That's why I only practice on days after leagues are played. Still oil out there. Weekends suck for practicing.

@@kevinscarborough9982 I am good friends with all the Managers at the lanes and even though we know when leagues are they just don't know how many times there going to oil. I don't mind the challenge of a semi dry lane i just don't want to kill my arm to bad 57 years old.😀😃🙂

You have to stay in the oil. If the 10 board is dried up or carried down, it's best to make parallel moves towards the center of the lane. So if you were striking at the 10 board and then after a few frames your ball starts to leave 4 pins, it's best to move in increments of 3. Like 3 with you feet and 2 with your eyes. So if you were standing on board 17 and throwing over 10 you'd then stand on 20 and throw over 12-13 in order to make your ball skid longer down the lane. The break point will always be the same spot down lane. So if the lane pattern is 40 feet, the bowling ball will start to hook left or right at 40 regardless of whatever board your ball crosses at that time. A lot of people get stuck on pattern length minus 31. So 40-31=9 the 9 board being the break point into the pocket. But if your ball hooks more or less will be the determining factor. They say throw at the 9 board at 40 feet and have your ball hook into the pocket? What if your ball only hooks 5 or 6 boards? You'll hit light pocket and cause yourself lots of problems. The main goal is to watch your ball and keep a mental note in your head on how much hook your ball has while you're playing. That's why this game is so difficult is because it's a struggle to keep the skid hook roll phase of your ball in check from frame to frame. Never second guess your bowling ball because the ball never lies to you. Whether your ball hits the pocket and strikes or comes up high or light it's telling you what you need to do with your feet and eyes on your next shot. Hopefully this helps and good luck with your bowling:-)

@@jayvallandingham2406 thanks for this breakdown… pretty cool. I’ll screen shot this for later haha 👍🏽😏

Hey there! Some people do use a tucked pinky to achieve higher rotation. It is all about what feels best for you and in your case, what allows your hand to rotate around the ball most consistently when trying to achieve higher rotation!

Need to be very careful about tucking your pinky finger because you can very easily damage tendons in your ring finger.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback!

@@insidebowling good feedback is valuable , no worries. Thanks for making these videos.

It takes time and a lot of practice! Make sure to remember the wrist and elbow are two totally different parts of the arm, and you can rotate the wrist without moving the elbow! Keep working at it!

JR Raymond has an excellent training video on how to lose the chicken wing.

@@kevinscarborough9982 I recommend viewing his videos.

@@jimwilliams4088 I have been for a year and a half now.

Think of it more like throwing a football with an underhand spiral. Thumb comes out of the ball, and your fingers come around from 6 o’clock to 3 when you let it go

Once you have the ball in your hand position regardless of where it's at, try to maintain that position throughout the entire swing. You don't allow your wrist to break at anytime during your swing. This will keep your hand below the equator of the ball at the release. Put your hand in the ball and let your hand relax naturally holding the ball at your side. You will notice that your thumb and fingers are holding the ball on the top half of the bowling ball. Now flex your wrist to make it perfectly flat or slightly cupped and the ball will rise and your fingers will be below the equator is where you want them. Then while your wrist is in that firm position, turn your index finger so that it points straight down to the floor. This is the correct position you want your hand, wrist, and ball to match this position at address and throughout the entire swing. Relaxed hand with the firm wrist and allow the ball to swing past your upper body without leaning too far forward and the bowling ball will travel down the lane in a nice tight spiral. Swing at the foul line like your trying to brush the lane arrows with the tips of your fingers. You want the feeling that your hand is chasing the ball down the lane rather lifting up towards the ceiling. This gets you to roll the ball forward down rather than lifting up on the finger holes during the release. It takes some practice to get used to especially if you've been doing everything that feels comfortable to you. Your lane accuracy will improve as well. Good luck.

Well that's my other problem..somtyme I have problems getting my thumb out of the ball first...and I do use tape.....

@@badknees82 Most of the time when you get your thumb hung up in your ball is because of over rotation of your hand at release. If your thumb is at 8 or 9 o'clock at your release point and your thumb hole is a bit snug you'll hang up in the ball. Any thumb position from 10 to 3 as long as your wrist is firm throughout your swing you shouldn't have any issues with your thumb hanging up. If you do, have your pitch in the thumb hole looked at.

@@jayvallandingham2406 ok thanks...
