@met4lb4ze11 күн бұрын
So I observed before that it was in the 420s. What changed? My rev rate hangs around the 430 range myself, so I’m curious to know some of the things you worked on to increase it that much?
@BigSkyBowler11 күн бұрын
@@met4lb4ze the increase came from focusing on increasing my wrist action on the ball at the release point. Keep in mind that two things are needed for a high Rev rate: 1. Your fingers need to be as far under the balls equator as possible. You can do this by resting the ball on your ball side forearm and keeping it there through the swing. 2. How quickly the wrist goes from a cupped power position to an uncupped position. Remember to roll the ball off your hand, don't lift on it. The faster that process occurs, the higher your Rev rate will be.

@@BigSkyBowler I think my problem is I lose a lot of leverage due to where my swing plane puts my ball at release. I could be a lot closer to my ankle. In turn I tend to get off balance and lose a lot of power.

Are the 2 finger holes in your bowling ball cut uneven? If so I think you should talk about that. My biggest pet peeve about YT bowlers is they don’t talk anything about drilling holes. Finger grips, etc. I almost broke my wrist bc I was trying to spin the ball without grips.
@BigSkyBowler3 ай бұрын
Each finger hole has a specific pitch that it is drilled to. This is measured to be unique to the bowler. Performance fitting. Finger pitches change how much pressure each finger feels at the release.

@BigSkyBowler3 ай бұрын
I can try, but this part is hard to teach. Check out this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbaeabWKms6xZ6s.htmlsi=hchLBSLDTEhQowP7 It's a feeling that you have to develop over time. Try thinking of your arms as the chains on a swing set at a playground. When you are coming up high in a swing, the chains go loose but as you come down, they tighten as gravity pulls your butt into the seat. In the same way your bowling ball acts this way as long as you focus on allowing gravity to do its part in the downswing. You have to feel the weight of the ball in the downswing.

Not unless you're making that motion occur. The intention here is to place your ball side hand in a power position without having to think about it. Having the non ball side hand in the proper position in front of the ball helps this occur naturally. Thank you for the kind words!

I have realized that it doesn’t matter if you bend at back “Belmo Simo” swing or not “Troup Jesper“ every pro player unbends the elbow completely at downswing creating a longer arm span. I’m having a problem unbending my elbow, perhaps you can make a tutorial about this. Also I have learned that the swing of the two hand bowling it’s like a magician making a bow to the audience not rotating shoulders keeping shoulders more facing the ground and lifting the ball by using spine tilt, this created more speed, power and consistency in my swing.
@BigSkyBowler5 ай бұрын
You are correct on several fronts. The key to a fluid swing motion as a two-hander is ensuring that your ball side arm relaxes in the downswing. To get the ball into the backswing, its a combination of spine tilt and your non-ball side hand assisting. I have done a video discussing this specifically: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbaeabWKms6xZ6s.html

There is nothing wrong with starting with a lower weight to help you get the feel for everything then moving back up in weight once you start to figure things out.

@@OurAmericanJourney being part of swag, I of course recommend swag balls. The majority of our equipment is very controllable and control is what matters for two handers. Check us out at www.swagbowling.com Our shield series would be the recommendation of a starter ball in 12 lbs of that's the weight you plan to start with. We also have the buzzer beater series, designed specifically for two handers with a 78D coverstock hardness. This allows for the ultimate control.
