i love it, thanks! his swing and release appears to be all finesse. whenever he throws a bad shot he says he grabbed it. i think many bowlers games are based on grabbing it, which to me is working too hard. also, i think his game (and many others) proves you dont need to throw 1000 revs and 20 mph to be exceptional at bowling.

A thing of beauty. PDW is still right at the top of the game even at 50 years old, because of this release. I could watch him bowl for ever.

He makes it look so easy. He floats like a ballet dancer. The best walking the approach.

Greatest bowler ever. 💯

Have always liked his game and style of bowling, And always liked his sunglasses when bowling, sometimes I wear mine bowling ad well, as mine are prescription.

Awesome you have a pic with PDW! I loved him as a kid along with Holmes, Roth, Monacelli (sp), Aulby, etc. Closest I came was bowling with Dave Traber back in the early 90's. Still cool. Thanks for posting

Smoooothest stroke ever 🎳

There's plenty of bowlers with nearly 90 degrees axis rotation but Pete has something 99.9% of them don't have: Projection. Pete gets his ball to float effortlessly through the heads with left to right projection and still has a predictable and consistent break point. Most guys with that much axis rotation don't know when the ball is going to hook or how much it's going to hook. Pete's ball roll is rare in that it creates area on a flat pattern. He creates hold where no one else has it and also creates recovery where everyone else is flagging the head pin.

As much as I'd want to have a release like PDW, I wouldn't mind settling for a picture with him. Thanks for the vid!!!

love this video....very nice

Wow you and pete Weber!!!

My all time favorite!

It isn't just his swing that I love, it's his impeccable footwork. I certainly can't duplicate his swing, but I feel like I could improve my game by having that kind of walk to the foul line.

What sets PDW's technique apart is the absolutely smooth acceleration in the downswing. You see the ball start to fall with gravity, and then gradual force is applied from the 9 o'clock position through the rest of the swing. He ends up with a powerful shot, yet nowhere in the process does he torque it. He's able to do whatever subtle adjustment with the hand at the end that he wants because the follow through is so relaxed. If not for the whining/ego/posturing/shades, I'd be a big Weber fan.

Best release ever!

The best bowling release in history.

one of the best releases in bowling...

Great mechanics, start to finish.

simply the greatest style in bowling

🐐

I've been watching Pete Weber videos a lot recently because my PSO told me that my release is almost identical to PDW's. I have a very high amount of axis rotation (almost 90 degrees) and low axis tilt. My ball has a lot of side roll and I prefer pearl or polished bowling balls because I get a large hook on the backend.

Who do you think you are? He is! Thanks for posting this vid of a living legend.

How/where can I get a high resolution copy to play on my computer with VLC Media player? I want to see his hand in greater detail and also slow it down more.

smooth as slik!

@teichlertheterror Haha my favorite band man, thanks!

Love the smashing pumpkins song!

Who do you think you are? I Am!

@homefieldbowler absolutely

dope pic

if you ask me PDW is the besy deep inside play ever thats why he's won the Us open so many times

Imagine what he could have done if he had steered clear of the booze & coke! Untouchable G.O.A.T.!

My bowling speed just about matches Pete's in slow motion. now, if it was only that smooth and accurate

He gets so much side turn its sickening, thats why he can attack those flatter patterns so efficiently. He can get his ball to push through the front part of the lane while others are struggling with it hooking to soon. Just a master at it!!!

I personally don't see why people are so jealous of Pete, he has been a good bowler forever!!! I like the fact that he doesn't conform to everyone's wants of him and he is his own person... That's what makes him PDW.

@0007123451 Its the fact that he gets so much side turn with zero grab that makes him tough on these flat patterns. Many people wonder why the open hand. Its because his hand is super relaxed.

How the hell is Pete Weber so good with a release like that? I have been told and heard that coming around the side of the ball that much isn't ideal and want to be more up the back of the ball at the release.

if by bad u mean awesome

@jfigg007 Thanks bro

@mrbowling300 same

how hard is it to learn such a release ?

Who do you think you are? I AM!!!

@0007123451 if he didnt pull a leg muscle he woulda won it this week! I watch him all week!

паразительно

que pasa

If not for your inability to see through anybodies individual character flaws, someone might be a big fan of yours!!

Jealous? What a bizarre comment. You sound like one of those people who thinks he has to cheer for the Yankees because they have a lot of titles. I admire PDW's technique very much; that doesn't obligate me to be in his corner jumping up and down. So go ahead, stick with your "winners" and sneer at the rest of us, but I'll like who I like, and support who I like.

@ 5lousycents... Sounds to me like you're a little insecure of your abilities. I never called "YOU" jealous. Simply a general statement to anybody who does not admire his talents and what he has done for the sport. I do stick with the winners, cause they help me be a winner. He is my favorite, but I like others. I bowled with his father as a youth bowler and watched him grow every step of the way, through the hard times, and especially the good!! To judge his character is a weak move!!!!

WTF NO AUDIO?????????????????????????

Nice! Bowling. Bad song

I love how all these fake bowlers (2 hand ) need to cheat to reach the same hook angle weber gets with 1 hand.

And the "Yucky Yankees" well not even close to a fan

The best bowling release in history.
