I spent 22 years in the bowling business and I still love the sport. What you guys are doing is amazing and I can't thank you enough. A (I think) slightly funny memory... I coached high school bowling when it first started up here. I used to like to tell the kids to "put the thumb in the big hole" to lighten the mood in stressful situations...Invariably I'd see a thumb in a weight hole... smart a**es 😎

@timgreene2915 2 года назад

I just wanted to stay thank you to brad and Kyle for the few videos that I've seen that have helped me with my griping of the ball and on how to get it to curve so thank you guys for being a big help and the facet that I use to not get over a 100 but with the few things I've seen and tryed out last night for the first time and bowled over a 200 for the very first time so thank you guys you have been a huge help

@MyLocalRock 3 года назад

thanks for making my life a little bit better!! I started actually trying to get better at bowling since covid hit. got my shoes, reactive and plastic spare ball. I bowl two finger one handed. your videos have taken me from a 140 per game player to 180 before our leagues were cancelled early. high score 263! your videos teach me vocabulary that allow me to get more out of my questions with other bowlers I meet. Every wednesday the owner lays me out a fresh pro pattern to test me on the lessons I'm slowly starting to put together. I watch ur videos every day. Love them. Can't thank you enough for helping through 2020

@thomasgorman1535 2 года назад

This video on totally relaxed ball arm is very apropos for all your videos.. No tension, just relaxed and loose, with just the right amount of humor and love to keep it that way. Good job guys.

You guys are amazing!

@nathanholloman6321 5 лет назад

I agree completely. The thing is that I believe that you can bowl however you want and how you feel comfortable. At my local bowling center most people that work there are old school traditional one handed bowling but I’m one of 3-4 people in my area that bowls two handed and I get judged for it. I believe that anyone can bowl how they want

@ZachAttack_0 5 лет назад

I agree 100%. All of people in my league bowl differently. 2 handed bowlers, 1 handed bowlers, 2 fingers only bowlers, thumb only bowlers, no fingers in the ball bowlers, etc. I've talked to the majority of them, and one thing they all do at the start is make sure the are relaxed and comfortable to do there throw. It's all about what is most comfortable for YOU to do throw your shot.

@jasminewilson320 5 лет назад

Love your videos. It be amazing if you did a video with Tom Daugherty mainly because he is one of the few two fingered bowlers out there. I still watch other bowlers to get the technical stuff down pack

@GrimTactics 5 лет назад

Very good video. I really am trying to find a good video on the release because I keep releasing on top of the ball. I can not for the life of me get to the side of the ball and release for proper spin. Great video for people like me though when it comes to the basics.

@thisoneguy6280 2 года назад

Thanks for this video guys. I just started bowling again after 15 years and am currently a 180 average bowler and all of the things you said NOT to do in this video, I have perfected unfortunately. I can’t wait to get back on the lanes and put this advice into practice Question: is being tense in your grip a possible reason for yanking the ball at the bottom?

@clowny2396 5 лет назад

You mention placing your thumbnail against the back of the hole. I've begun placing two or three layers of white tape (cut about 1/4 to 3/8" long using standard width) down into the hole where my thumbnail gets placed. This gives my thumb something to feel and keeps it from grabbing at the ball during with swing. I used tiered tape on the front of the hole, too.

@crankyy33 4 года назад

Great video, do you guys have a video talking more about the muscle swing?

@rkw221 5 лет назад

Nice, this is a very overlooked part of the game. Just be consistent in your routine. A maybe idea for some future tutorials? What about addressing conditions like hang-spots near the pin deck that can wreck havoc on a shot when it matters most or makes a shot unplayable for your gear. How to try and solve that issue? maybe my question should be in your oil pattern section, oops!

I have a crooked middle finger (RH) from an injury at 2 year old. From mid joint roots to right 2° and at end joint left 2°. It's finger tip. I've had different drill pitch tried but have last knuckle pain after, no matter. Suggestions, or just give in and make it conventional? I don't like the last option, quit.

@michaelsima9186 2 года назад

Besides the span of the holes, what’s also important is the angle the holes are drilled at.

@nicholasscheetz229 5 лет назад

@cri8tor 2 года назад

Great tutorial. Injured my middle finger last night because of bad grip and using a house ball with holes that are way too big. What can guys like me do before we purchase our own equipment? Are there thumb and finger socks that can be purchased to improve grip? Have you guys posted a video on how to choose equipment, so we're not wasting a ton of money buying the wrong things?

@koolaidman531 4 года назад

My grip pressure is more in the front too and never liked it on the back either.

@eujiboo 3 года назад

Any way to avoid having sore/bruises on the tip of the thumb (my nail keeps getting chipped even though its really short) and the tip/inside of the pinky finger? I've bowled for awhile but my basics are weak and I haven't seemed to be able to fix or correct these issues over the years.

@igorhabljak3218 5 лет назад

Great video! You could, maybe, consider doing a video on thumb holes, and the importance of a tight thumb hole for all level bowlers. I think bowlers do not pay enough attention to the importance of a tight thumb hole and it's relation to the relaxed swing and a quick release (resulting in more revs). Keep up the good work.

@dalebloomer6854 4 года назад

Still a little confused on the quick release and also on breaking wrist back at release... So do we actually push the ball forward with our thumb then just follow through with the fingers?

@igorhabljak3218 4 года назад

@@dalebloomer6854 Imagine holding a bottle of water in your hand, and trying to roll it toward somebody alond the floor. It is the same motion. So, the thumb goes toward the floor and the fingers travel all the way to the top. Take a bottle of water and try it. You will see what your hand does. It is really easy to see. You have to replicate this movement when you try to roll the bowling ball.

@dalebloomer6854 4 года назад

@@igorhabljak3218 so, why do people teach to come around the side of the ball to increase hook, if you need to really stay behind it all the time...

@igorhabljak3218 4 года назад

@@dalebloomer6854 Ball motion is a sience in itself. The axis rotation is one of the things that is a little bit easier to change in your release then others (like tilt). The point in going "arround the ball" is only usefull when you read the lane and realise that the front part is gone, and your ball hooks too early, then you could try and use a little more side rotatoon to make the ball go a little longer down the lane and not read as soon. The most common case where side rotation is used is when you move in the insisde part of the lane, and have to cover a lot of boards. In that case, side rotation can give you a little more push, and the ball has the ability to make it's turn on the backend and still go through the pins the right way. So, there are cases you would need to use more side rotation, or axis, but they are not present all the time in your normal play. The ball reads the lane better when it is rolled in a more forward manner then on the side. You can check out the slow motiom releases of all the top players on YT and you will see the way their hand commes up the back of the ball. Very few use side rotation as their first option (like PDW), and there is a reason for that.

@ozneroll2132 5 лет назад

B@K....when you guys hold the ball....do you feel most of the weight of the ball on the side of your hand closest to the index finger/thumb or to the side of your hand closest to the pinky finger? Or .....is the weight directly in the center of the hand? Thanks.

@johnnierobles2304 2 года назад

Here’s the number one question I cannot get answered if you would help me please. As you push too far away and it starts downward in the swing can you explain to me what you feel the most pressure on your fingers pressure on your thumb no pressure.It all does appear to look super smooth when I watch you and your partner do it but how do you do such without muscle and what is the one feeling you have in your hand the most as it starts down after your push away

@miguelgranadamata1255 Год назад

I have a question, if i want to keep my hand behind the ball in order to give effect, I need to be with the forearm in tension right? I can't put the hand behind the ball, maybe i have week forearms or... I am doing the technic to put the hand behind the ball badly and you don't need to be in tension at all? I want to know, i've been trying to give effect to the ball for a long time but i can't put the hand behind the ball... Do you need to be using the forearm to put the hand in the right possition, like doing force?
