PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS VIDEO!!! I do not know coach Arthur, but he speaks the simple truth about arm swing plane in here. Make sure you check your bowling arm swing and make it "correct" by keeping it in a consistent line. Thanks for sharing coach!

These reminders to do the basics helps us more experienced bowlers to remain solidly grounded in the fundamentals

@ArtOfBowling 5 жыл бұрын

Agreed turning these fundamentals into habit is the goal of every bowling coach. If a little trick or key word joke or pun. Helps us remember then weve done our job. Creating good fundamentals into habits. Getting you to execute without thunking about it. That is the difference.

I still do an exaggerated push away to the left, to keep from getting the ball too far behind my back. I haven't thought about dropping my right shoulder in a while, so thanks for the reminder. Enjoyed the puns, by the way.

@ArtOfBowling 5 жыл бұрын

As a point I do like to use humor and puns as a way for people to remember what they are supposed to be doing out there. It serves as a reminder at certain points it also helps us not think about the shot as we are executing the shot as we think about it before.

You and JR are on the same topic today! I like to keep my forearm perpendicular to the foul line (parallel to the boards) in my set up, so I can just push out and let it drop into the swing without any lateral movement of my arm, maintaining a straight swing plane.

Great advice Al. Always one of my favorite commenters

Al, want to say thanks for all your videos with drills and how to video yourself for analysis of the swing. For a beginner they have helped me look for where I go wrong. I work on this drill at home next to my refrigerator with my bowling ball. I work on the push away, crossover step and dropping into the slot. Being close to the refrigerator let’s me know when I cut across the line. If you can, let me know if this is a good way to practice this drill. Thanks for your help!

I think of my "swing plane" as being exactly vertical and including my target arrow and my right shoulder. In that way, if I keep my ball in the plane throughout the approach and delivery, the ball (supposedly) can't help but hit the target. The trick, of course, is to *feel" when the arm is in the swing plane when it is behind your head and you can't see it.

Just wondering, I'm a lefty, if I push the ball out to the side and then correct it in the back swing, would that still be accurate. I can't push out past my toe as I have suffered from elbow issues in the past

@ArtOfBowling 5 жыл бұрын

There are many ways to get the job done. First question I ask a bowler when giving a lesson is do you have any physical limitations and how do they effect you. When looking for a coach these are the things to listen for in making sure that coach is right for you. Thanks for watching...

@stevekeller3643 8 ай бұрын

If you push away across your body (or inside), doesn’t that promote the backswing to be away from your body so you’d be more likely to get on top of it ? Thanks, Art Enjoy your Tips & Tricks.

@ArtOfBowling 8 ай бұрын

exaggeration is the key here...if the swimg goes behind your head you exaggerate the opposite way to correct the problem ...if your swing is to big you only try to bring it to your hip to fix

@clarencewilliams764 4 жыл бұрын

In looking at the down swing of the male bowler, it appears that his bowling hand turns early. As a result his hand is on the outside of the bowling ball. According to Randy Peterson, the bowling hand should be on the inside of the ball when it enters the swing releae zone. How do you prevent turning the ball too early in the back swing?

@jayvallandingham2406 3 жыл бұрын

Most people are unable to play the inside of the ball do to the fact that their swing itself is poor. A bad swing plan will automatically force your hand to the outside of the ball to keep you from falling over. A bad swing plan will force your hand to the outside as well as a step off to the right. If you can't post your shot, then a bad swing is a reason why that is. Video your approach from the line of play and see if you stay on the line of play or see what it is that is forcing you off the line of play.

great lesson, next, let's work on the knee bend to keep the upper body from being too close to horizontal, this is hard for people like me with bad knees

Art- have a tangential question about swing path. I have a tough time from a timing perspective in getting the trail leg out of the way for the ball to swing thru. Is that because I’m pulling on the way down ? How to work on that timing ? Thank you !

Yes I know, old way vs new way, its like slaying a scared cow. If you shoulder are squre to the floor it is impossible to swing the arm stright. Just physics.
