Bowling Tips to Throw More Strikes 

One thing I’ve noticed, and been guilty of myself as well, is that people fall in line with a certain line as long as it’s giving them good results. They’ll throw 5 strikes in a row, but strike 4 hit a little high and still struck. The signs are there that the lanes are transitioning, but because they got a strike, they don’t move. So then, they get back up on that lane and go high again and leave a 4 pin when they could’ve made a small adjustment and gotten 6 in a row instead.

@19:20 Brad, it happens to the best of us. I usually think my thoughts are coming in faster than my mouth is able to form the words. Excellent video Gentlemen.

Love the longer format guys. Great information and demonstration. I know you can’t do it all the time but more of this.

Amazing demonstration! This really helps me break it down and then in your previous video on 3 spaces where you throw in the lane. I'm always going to start further left I generate a little more hook with two hands. But now I get what the transition entails , the hand placement and ball speed. Thank you for this!

Great vid guys! Been working on exactly this.. figuring out what the lane gives and how to adjust to it. Appreciate informative videos like this, great info.

The thought process and discussion in making adjustments from 2 pros is invaluable no matter where you're at or your approach to the game. Keep on giving back to the game Fellas ! Great job ! 👍👍

This is what I love. Bowling and explaining the why's and how's with when adjusting. This is my current issue with becoming more consistent. Adjusting.

Thank you for talking out the thought process!

This is great! thanks guys! -- bowled my first ABT tournament this last weekend. bowled great on Saturday..... totally bombed on Sunday...

Thank you guys. Those main 3 ways to adjust my game is going to help me a lot.

Bowled on Cheetah and Shark this past weekend and boy I have THAT MUCH MORE RESPECT FOR PROS!

This video is gonna really help me for the once every 3 years that I play.

Kyle, you are ankle deep in Movember ;) love it

Thanks for putting this together fellas!

Mark 23:03 spoke to my SOUL!! Lol I feel like the lanes always play tighter on day 2 and I'm still ripping it smh...Thank you guys for this 👏

Wish me luck in my league tonight!!!! love the vids

Great information. Thanks for your passing on knowledge.

Nice show, loved it. 🙂

Could someone point me to a video on PAP and what pin placement you would typically use for certain reactions, and how it varies with coverstock/core?

Excellent video. I learned a TON!

i love the unedited parts with brad’s brain farts 😂

Excellent discussion.

Awesome video! I haven't been bowling too long and this video is something i really needed!! Keep up the great videos. With all bowling channels now you guys are definitely some of the best.

Loved the video. More shots per minute is much appreciated by this viewer!

I couldn't brake 100 before watching this now I just bowled a 150 which isn't the best but it's a hell of an improvement

Great demonstration! I'm glad you didn't switch balls, most league bowlers don't have the luxury you guys do. I'd like to see more of this stuff, but more challenging adjustments. A video where y'all end up lost on the lanes, making adjustments and nothing's working, that kind of thing. This video seemed like a very simple adjustment - slow ball speed, move right a bit - but sometimes these kind of decisions don't have as predictable results as we see in your video. It's a great concept, I hope you do more videos like this!

Very helpful

Thank you for the added cam angle! Wonderful addition!!

As a league bowler, this video helped me a lot. So thank you for that 🖤

Kyle do you have any tips for bowlers who bowl straight with no curve?

Thanks for the video. First off for me it would be nice to know where YOUR starting point is on the approach. aka what dots are you standing on? Also, could you video a little more to the right or left so we can see more? The view is blocked by his backside.

Cool video talk tech bowling brad and Kyle

Video about playing in front of the machine: timing, angles, loft, hand position!!!

Great video.

Great vid as always boys. Also, Kyle, if you ever quit bowling you have a career in the Rhode island police force....

Great video

Love love these types of videos. I became a member of the Brad and Kyle subscription and I haven’t regretted it a bit. It’s already helped my game with coach Daniel and I’m sure it will only get better (not a paid advertisement 😂)

Thank you for this informafion. This alley reminds me of the one on Wii Sports

Great video, but one critique would be showing where you lined up each throw =). Keep up the good work. Much love. - 710 Ben Ben Ben

My standard line is around 13 at the arrows to 6 at the break point. This way, I also get a feel for the pattern length, as well as telling me if the area near the gutter is in play.

I love my old storm exfactor but it don't hook as much as it use to , but I use to be good with it , and bowled way better with it.

What a great vid!!! Thanks guys, besides a methodology to getting lined up.... we all miss!! and don't make an adjustment based on a bad shot.

19:14 puff puff pass

Does a strong shot referring to delivery, does tht mean a cupped wrist. I believe I mostly through with my wrist behind the ball. When I try to cup my wrist I seem to lose some control. Thanks for the info

lol that lane was oily. good lessons, thanks for sharing

How do you know when to change balls compared to when to adjust?

6:10 - 7:00 I think you guys used some poor phrasing in this discussion. Properly executing the shot you're trying to make should feel the sane anywhere. The results of that shot will vary depending on what center you're in, which lane you're on, the oil pattern used, and how much it has been played on to that point and with what. Previous to this discussion, Brad had a good point about not immediately adjusting based off a poorly executed shot, which is something that anyone with any appreciable experience will know instantly.

I wish u guys could coach me i still have alot to learn

19:01 lol! i like that they didn't edit this out.

My spare game has gotten better, but I’ve been having trouble stringing strikes, and I think part of the problem is sometimes missing my mark as well as releasing the ball inconsistently. Do I need to rotate my hand around the ball to get more hook, or is it only a matter of getting my thumb out sooner and lifting with the fingers? If I get the ball over 1st arrow or board 6 or 7, it will hook a little more (sometimes it goes high), and other times I miss right (or left and it goes almost straight at the pocket). Can’t seem to get my ball speed over 13 mph, but on the other hand, I remember something Brad said, something about slowing down the ball speed and even at 7 or 8 mph, the ball can still strike, but I have to rely on being so accurate and hitting just the right mark.

Wish I found you guys earlier 😅 definitely subscribed!

Brad, when you set up for 15-10, where do you place your feet?

Haha I'm glad you didn't edit that part out where you totally fumbled the bag and forgot what you were saying 😂

What about bone dry aka the neglect pattern or too cheap to buy oil pattern.

I get 600 series but my issue is when start dry up super fast or lot ppl use urethane or new ppl use plastic balls and like bowl on line am trying to shape

Any tips for a high Rev rate bowler

Neat video

Question. On the lanes 5-6 where the ball is hooking more and you moved your feet left......do you also move your target left into the oil? When I move left and hit the same mark, my ball goes deeper into the dry (right) and comes back even harder. Consequently I am killing the head pin. I need help with handling that transition......and that happens by the end of game one every week. Thanks.

I use a burner globel 900

Amazing video. I have a Question. If you don't know the pattern, how do you know de distance where the ball brakes down? Where the brake point is?

I think when they switch to lane 5 bray timing changed which causing things having a side slow motion view can tell the difference

When Brad says “missed right…” does he mean right of the third arrow?

seeing a 28 minute brad and kyle video made me so happy, keep up the great work guys, yall made me fall in love with bowling this year

Now that's a nice soup strainer you got Kyle.

I have been typically doing a few practice swings (I guess) before I actually release the ball…kinda want to get comfortable enough to release it from the get go…so that I don’t lose the momentum…but kinda scared Also I feel like I should get more practice with hooking so that I can hopefully get more consistent with striking

How would you adjust if there was a lot of carry-down? Feel free to use all the tools in the bag - a full arsenal of balls, surface, etc. ?

I injoy watching you both bowling , and I should be bowling better then Avery body on my league but I'm not. No one hooks it like me. I have a great form, but having problems

Can you tell me how to get the package dill I don't know much about phone stuff

Question.... When you are slowing down the shot are you slowing down 1 mph

I stopped bowling in 1995 because of the BS short oil. Would have been great to have conditions like this back in the day. Dropped bowling and took up golf.

Kyle looks like a rookie cop working the beat. Lol. Im just saying man. Much love to you guys. I thought I'd lighten the mood😁💪🏾🎳

Came for the improvements to my bowling game. Stayed for the same name.

If using a lighter ball, like a 12lb, does the same go for this ball ?

Why do you not go right of 10 board at the arrows?

Longer format great for all the info we can take in. Imo this would be alittle better if maybe you did it with like 3 basic balls so we can learn the thought process on what kind of ball we need to change to when the lanes are showing "example" . Like The wolverine seemed to be sliding to far, maybe having the wolverine, a phaze 2, and maybe a hybrid assym to cover the bases on what changes we might make.

why mess with ball speed, which is so hard to judge, when you could move your feet right, which is more objective?

Your mustache gives a cop vibe lol, good video

Sorry noob question.. when you say move 7 boards left i know thafs the feet. Do you move the eyes (arrows) 7 boards too?

Hello guys, id like to ask how many boards of your target did you move when you moved 7 boards to the left on lane 5? thanks...

How can you tell the difference between a lot of oil and roll out, they look the same to me

Good points. A note about what Brad said HE does for less speed. He said he pushes the ball on the downswing less forcefully. This means that he generally pushes the ball. And it actually shows just by watching him bowl. I think this is a bad habit because it is very hard to repeat the same amount of force. AND very hard to reduce or increase it accurately. AND it will often hurt accuracy. The best thing is to have all speed from the lower body and keep the arm loose and doing the same thing in the swing. Also, speed is hard to manage accurately. I would not mess with speed as a 1st solution. Especially when there so many balls and surfaces that can help first. Or targeting/angle adjustments. If there aren't other solutions, then yes, speed management.

I bowl in fountain valley bowl, and Im having problems, I bowl out and in , and try deferent things and still have problems , I want to go back to 174 average . I'm at 150 average

How I get more x

Ok, if it takes this much to figure these steps, ur not going far in your score, I am trying fellows, so is there a sheet, or a certain person to go for these different oil conditions before u get on the lane?

Well lately where I bowl been having to bowl with my widow spare ball. This is at league not just practice kinda expect it at practice because it's just what is out there. It's bad when you have to at league and it's not because we have high Rev making the oil go away

I have friends in my League that have Balls speeds of 15-25mph!!! Which is NUTS!!!

Obviously this video's goal was to make adjustments with the same ball, but do you try to find a line/ball combo that doesn't force you to change your normal speed and hand positions? Or is it easier to just make these adjustments with the same ball?

So if that's me I have 2 splits and missed the 10 pin 3 opens I'm pissed off and there goes that game!

Did someone forget to edit a couple awkward spots ? Lol

How can a person find out what and where the oil conditions are in the bowling there in

In a slump and at a crossroads of should I practice more or just try turning my brain off and throwing?

19:01 - 19:18

I'm like Brad...easier for me to slow down my ball speed. Usually when I try to increase to anything over 15 mph, I lose consistency, unless I'm throwing a straight shot on a spare.

epic

No wonder you hook so good. The whole bowling ally is tilted to the left!

I bowl 3 times a week want to be more consistent

Kyle, you look like Borat

I cuff my wrist

19:15 is what happens when you hang out with Packy and Simo

There’s no way in remembering all that after 5-6 beers!
