"Hi, I’m a bowler from Mexico, selected by my country in the seniors category. Always eager to improve, I’ve been following your videos step by step, which I find to be the best among many I’ve seen, but I can’t seem to get it right. When I do the drills you suggest, it goes really well up to the third step. However, when I do the complete throw, I revert back to my original style. Do you have any recommendations you can provide me with?"
The area that is being played above has too much left to right shape. Down and in for a bowler is better to work with. As a bowler is going left to right, feel to the correct angle and mark down lane is hit or miss. Down and in gives the bowler a much easier target because it is in front of you. Not to mention the alignment dots at 7 feet out on the lane are right there in eyesight. The swinging of the ball as above, there are no alignment dots in the middle to use.
More loft! As a 2 hander, i already try reving it with forward roll so it can do the same thing with the skid. Loft shortens the distance between when it touches the lane and breakpoint.
I have higher tilt and do think i would match with with the xponent pearl. It looks so good. My rotation is 30. What would you suggest. I know i need to work on my release but until i get there
Thank you Jan. Always great videos and all the info is much appreciated. Keep it up. Also, I would like to see you join some tournaments and video your experiences and also the adjustments on feet, breakpoints and ball changes during the tournament. Thank you
Try two handed bowling. Or no thumb one hand. Forces you to stay under the ball. You will see 2x-5x more revs. I have been doing it a year now and it is so much more fun.
@@ThePokersurfer Keep working at it! It gets better with more time and consistent practice! Getting the hand behind the ball and clearing the thumb is probably one of the tougher curves at the earlier stages of learning to bowl. Else, two-handed/one-handed no thumb works too! (Though it can be tougher to control axis rotation ^^)
Nice demonstration! Important for most bowlers to note too that resin balls do create carry-down as well (especially for players with higher revs) but to a lesser extent than urethanes/plastics. It can also be tempting to try to put some surface on the current ball to get it to hook earlier, though at the risk of over-under if the lanes are burnt. :O But similar to you, I keep a purple hammer in the bag just in case :)
I am learning low-down/yoyo release, however i am having difficulties to tlit and "snap" to release the ball. Whenever i snap and roll out the ball, it become more of a forward roll. Could u advise?
Low-down is just about create rev. It is nothing to do with axis rotation. You may need to watch another category of RU-vid related to “Side Rotation”.
After watching this video and keeping my pinky in and my index finger out (as opposed to both spread), my release felt more consistent, and i was getting more hook out of the ball tonight for league. New PB too!
1st shot looks much better, more power and direction and control. 2nd shot looks a bit weak, not as professional and not natural looking for you. Keep the 1st shot..😊
Consistency is the key, not power. When you look at the end position it looks so much better and more controlled. Watch the right shoulder at the release, than you will see it.
Somehow there are two ways to work out: 1. We adopted an approach that has certain problems. We get familiar with it then insert more power in that approach. 2. We adopted an approach that is closer to perfection. We haven’t get familiar to it yet, but one day we could insert power to it to look professional. Both ways work but no doubt the latter will benefit us in long term.
I saw one simple reason the release was not working. Many WPBA bowlers have their fingers slightly above the equator of the ball as did this bowler. But he thin and fingers released at roughly the same time. The thumb MUST release first so the fingers can generate the proper momentum. Her thumb did exit properly while practicing on the ball return.
@janproshopchannel cause before it was tracking fine but when I just bowled today the first few games was OK but suddenly by the end it was already tracking on the finger or between the holes by the bridge. I threw the exact same shot and everything. So could it be just that I changed my finger position without knowing?
I’ll add one thing here: play other sports. Physiology and body mechanics transfer from sport to sport. A good soccer kick has similar mechanics to a good golf swing to a good bowling swing. I’m experiencing this right now. I’m age 61, and had a decades-long layoff from bowling and back issues that impeded my golf swing. But I picked up bowling again a few months ago. In building a new throw I’m breaking it down. Almost there, bowling games over 200 on a semi-frequent basis now. And the things I’m doing for bowling are transferring to golf, and that’s getting back to where it was at age 25 (scratch)
Would love a video on RGs and Difs. It would help to explain this video more. Also can you explain the difference between the Storm Ion and the Ion Pro?
long story short- the best way I relearned and stopped "lifting" was by using four targeting points when drawing my line instead of two (which were my desired target and breakpoint). Still a work in progress but good results.
Wait ok. I see it now. Ok. Idk i struggling with what my ball is doing when to get out of it or even where to move and where to look. Im getting therr. Thank you for sharing
Hoq about ball fit. Im struggling with understanding. How my fingers should be lined up. I am playing around with drillings to see mayne if mine is not for me. If there are others ways to make my ball fit mkre comfortable. Idk.
