Fred is the best KZfaq Bowling Coach I've seen yet.

This is the best release video, by far. It's all so clear now. This will definitely help me with the hook.

Worked with this man first hand. Fantastic bowler and coach!!! And yes the shots were perfecto

thanks finally somebody that can explain things

i agree im a 215 ave bowler and i still love watching these videos

This is the best instructional video I have ever seen

This is a good video. A lot of people have the wrong idea of it all being in the wrist and releasing in the form of a handshake. Really it's just clearing the thumb and turning the middle and ring fingers. This has helped me to get maximum rotations out of my ball.

Just got back into bowling 1994 last league. Was 200 avg bowler. I tried this release last night and it worked very well. I still "short arm" some of my strike shots. Your video added to my comeback knowledge thanks

Worked with him and the crew in Alaska years ago. They were fantastic

This is what I was looking for, thanks!

clear my doubts..many ways of releasing.GREAT ADVISE!!

I"m a complete beginner. I didn't know you only move the fingers 2 inches to hook the ball. Thanks for the tip.

great tips I must say,didn't think I would find such a good video.

@tiatrips its never a bad time to learn in sports. you can always get better. I work at a bowling alley and I love sitting in with the kids on our saturday morning league and listening to the wisdom of the coaches on the beginner stuff; it can be very helpful.

cant wait to get back on the lanes and follow this tips :) thanku :) and i hopes it upzzz my score.

Excellent video.

0:36 The release by flicking the fingers, will generate higher RPMs and more consistent ball motion as opposed to coming off the side.

the pressure on the pointer finger is a great tip! if i get less revs, i just remember that. cause usually my wrist...thbbtbtbbt

ive been practicing alot and ive got the three finger spin down i just hold my hand on the side of the ball and my game has improved alot...

one of the few dudes that knows what hes talking about in his videos

The money shot works for me. My avg is about 175-180. I like this release because it is simple and it goes with my stroker style. I think some would say the drawback is that I track over my finger and thumbs holes a lot, though.

@DJXRyde I'm at 16 mph, rounded down. I usually have to throw it around that speed for the purpose of getting it down the lane. But I have a natural hook so I use that to my advantage.

Could you show how to release the ball up the back like a lot of the pro bowlers use?

You are impressive teacher

How do you clear the thumb without dropping the ball

@davidhindu not all expert village videos are bad. haven't seen all bowling videos so i can't speak for those, but the ones for auto repair are excellent.

i had the same problem all you gotta do is get used to actually using all your fingers practice throwing it straight and them throw in the turn its all about practice

@WarOfHell He doesn't want to make us loose hope with his perfect shots.

I would love to take lessons one day. Even though im 200 ave. you can always learn from these guys. Tiger Woods still takes golf lessons

using two fingers would mean you're a two handed bowler, in replacement of the thumb, you would use the opposite hand to hold the ball in place until you release, and follow through, if you do not use a second hand to hold it, your ball would typically be loose and move around allowing an inconsistent throw

nice

i like this

I hit strikes with stright release I never a hook shot untill now :p

This is sometimes true. In this case it's not. This man is Fred Bordon, pretty dang good bowler still and probably the best coach in the game. Who else would you get to coach Team USA. ; ) Yes, Team USA.

Im a two fingered bowler and i have a hammer vibe, and im trying to learn how to throw it with three fingers... but its not working ..

Is it bad that I'm at 16 mph and 520 RPM and still learning things about release?

doesnt rotating the fingers make the ball swerve????

I Wish I Was Vincent Hannley

@jerseyman1000 try to put 3 fingers then. just like you, i only put 2 fingers before, but later i change it to 3. it becomes more stable. try it ^^

@electraglider01 lol. Nice.

timing is a huge part...

This guy is teaching stuff from the seventies! "shake hands with the pins". That type of release really won't give you that big hook your looking for. Stay underneath the ball and pull up.

the title is misleading. i click on this video and BOWLING comes up. wth!

@tiatrips I dunno...is 16 mph good for you? lmao. I throw like 21 average, with no hook tho. Trying to hook has got me messed up...I'd rather just toss it fast n straight. LMAO And about this video...the title - is epic. LMAO.

@T00MuchL4g helped me o.0

I like a lot of the videos you guys put up, this is really great for a lot of bowlers at any average. If you get a chance can you watch a couple videos of my channel and let me know what you guys think I should work on? its kblackmer100 is my channel. thank you much.
