Greetings to all of you at Insidebowling. I listened to one of your videos last week and followed the advice. I am 73 years old and I was really struggling. The first outing after watching the video I bowled a 196. Since then I have bowled a 208. My average has jumped at least 30 points. Once I get a new plastic ball to work on my spares, I think I will be a much better bowler. Yours is the best bowling help site on you tube in my opinion. Thanks.

Mr. Shady is correct, lofting is a very important part of bowling. Due to my level of rotation, on a typical league condition I will go over the 7 board at the arrows. As the lane dries out I adjust by increasing my speed and lofting. When that isn't enough I will move left and/or change balls. One of the major benefits of lofting is you have to throw the ball very slightly upward to obtain loft, this causes your hand to put slightly more rotation on the ball. So the loft no only delays the hook so the ball doesn't hit high, it also causes it to come in stronger increasing the probability of striking.

You can also add loft when it's super oily. I did one night and shot 300 the first time I ever tried it. Awesome tip

I learned how to bowl on Duckpin lanes and back in the 50's if the ball flew more than 6 feet down the lane it was call "lobbing" and was considered a foul! Of course it was much easier to do with 3lb grapefruit sized ball!

I'm in Hawaii where Roy Yamanuha bowls & operates his own pro shop "Game On". He lofts 1/2 of the lane but is one of the best local bowlers. A few years ago he won the Asian Seniors in Singapore & he bowled a 300 to do it. When tough oil patterns are put out he just throws over them. He has won many Hawaii TV Bowling TV Shows against other PBA players like T.Reyes when he was here. You're right, there are times when lofting can be a viable solution.

Watch Fero Williams. He is a amazing bowler has hundreds of 300 games and 800's as well. He lofts the ball almost every shot. I watched him bowl in a local tournament today. He is a ledged in the sport. He bowls at our center several times a year. If you haven't seen him he has a unique style and it works well for him.

I have a loft issue when I throw the ball harder. The slower my first step, the less loft I have. I also think in my head "slow feet, slow arm" and "foul through" "stay down at the line" when I bowl.

@jasonissel217 3 жыл бұрын

I guess this doesn't work for everyone but I have 10 grip levels that came with my Brunswick shoes, what I do when I want to throw the ball harder is put a slide that is shorter and stops sooner, and that encourages me to throw it harder, longer slide, better for a slower release, normally I like a slower release, as I tend to pull it back when I throw it too hard and it just goes straight.

@markholland8953 3 жыл бұрын

Great demonstration! I'd love to see a slow motion view from the release to the landing to illustrate how the ball stays parallel to the lane. Also, for those of us who are older, knee bend like Shannon's first shot isn't always possible. Any tips for those with knee difficulties?

@insidebowling 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind comments Mark. To answer your question on tips for knee difficulties - many times by using your upper body to lean a bit more forward (vertical/torso tilt), a player can get the ball a bit more parallel into the lane. Thanks for watching Mark.

When I loft the ball, the hook is delayed AND the ball seems to hook sharper because the ball has stored up more energy which is released when the ball hits the dry. Am I just imagining this or am I correct?

I used to bowl on a league who had a bowler that did what you described on every shot, but probably greater than 10 feet. I was amazed he could get it consistently to the pocket and averaged over 200. If you bowled near him you had to give him lane courtesy because if you were not paying attention the sound of his ball slamming the lane could throw you off during your approach.

@ceciliaschleicher278 3 жыл бұрын

@@drwisdom1 there is a guy on my league now that launches the ball like that now. He must only use an 11 pound ball because it isn't loud. He isn't very accurate, but when he is on a roll, watch out. I have another guy that use a 16 pounder that launches it over 15 feet and is a 230 average

Lofting good, Lobbing bad. I cant stand to hear them smack the lanes hard. I don't think is is as bad for the synthetics, but you can beat up the old wood lanes doing that.. A guy that bowls at my center lands 2 feet past the arrows and his ball is well over knee high.

Lofting the ball is only a last resort. When Shannon went brooklyn, she rolled over 10 board. But when she lofted it, it rolled over 14-15 board. She changed her rolled significantly lofting it. Lofting the ball is way overrated. You have to keep the same roll as well as hit the same area to truly say lofting is the answer. She has a release that is almost always on the side of the ball. For her to show the lofting, she needed to be up the back of the ball.

I'm glad this works for her but her over exaggerated arm swing after her release is annoying. I've never seen that in bowling😂😂

Unless you do this for a living I highly suggest not doing/learning this haha theres always room to move or a different area to play for you league bowlers on a house shot and tournament shots like I said if you dont do this for a living your going to fuck yourself all up. Coming out of the ball and keeping consistency is hard when your trying to change something like this. My suggestion is move dont change anything else
