How To Increase Your Rev Rate Bowling 

U bowl any tournaments or sport shot leagues?

@@vinny702 yes and PBA regionals

I liked how you had side video and paused on downswing to explain bent elbow! That really helped us visualize. Would be great showing that from behind too. When you explained why you look at foul it makes since, what doesn't is are you really looking straight at the boards there on foul line or maybe a couple feet in front of foul line? Hard to imagine how you change marks when your angles are more exaggerated because your looking straight down at release.

@@Alldayertexas It's all imaginary angles. I stare at the boards at the line, thr grain itself, black line separating them, and in the right gutter when if I'm standing like 10-15 (Rare). If I'm told to hit a certain spot I could no problem.

Any advice for us two handers on rev rate increase

Yessir

Appreciate it! Keep me yodated.

Appreciate it!

Thanks

Thanks! Let me know how it goes!

Appreciate it!

Thanks. It sounds silly but it makes a difference.

Thanks for the view!!

Thanks!

Its never talked about, glad you saw the difference!

Appreciate it! Was tired of seeing so many bogus videos...hahaha

Appreciate it. Glad the vids help.

Thanks, let me know what works.

Thanks. A lot of stuff has been lost over time.

Thanks

Thank you!

@@hihbowling No, thank you. Do you do virtual coaching?

Nothing like that. I try to help where I can though

No problem!

Cool. Glad something worked. Just ease into it. You'll know what it feels like and can add into your game at a comfortable pace.

Going to do a slo no vid soon. Let me know what works.

Thanks. Hit me anytime.

Let me know how it works!

Give it a try. Let me know how it feels.

@@hihbowling I did try making ring finger more dominate shot 254, 199, 186 for a 639 need to work on it some more besides in league tho.

Thanks. Welcome to the channel.

Appreciate it.

Thanks and welcome to the community!

Let me know what helped!

Appreciate it. Let me know if anything worked.

Probably time to do another with the upgraded gear.

This improved my rev rate and also tamped down my tendency to loft the ball at the arrows.

@@die7fox exactly. Your eyes play a big part of what happens to the ball. In theory, you could aim at your feet and your rev rate would be even higher, but then your accuracy would suffer. My take is that I aim at the dots before the arrows (less than 10 feet out), but I can hit that same board pretty accurately vs. arrows or even the range finder 30-40 ft down the lane. But yeah when I tried the arrows, my ball speed skyrocketed and I started missing boards a lot and even started hitting the right gutters. Now I average 211 with 400+ rpm and 17.5 mph (strike ball), 20 mph (spares).

I asked my bowling coach about this particular part of the video, where your eyes are at, compared to rev rate... He told me that this is partly true, because the shorter your eyes are on the lane (dots, foul line etc), the lower speed your ball gets, therefore more rev rate). Have you compared your ball speed while having your eyes on the foul line, compared to having your eyes on the arrows, or even further down the lane?

Never mind, just saw that you answered just what the coach told me. Having eyes on foul line = less speed.

Thanks! Glad to hear....

@@hihbowling BAM. BEND ARM MORE!

Thanks.

Thanks!

Let me know.

Lol. Thanks for the update!!!! Glad I was able to help, this vid should help take it a little further.

@@hihbowling Please! No more rev! 🤣 It's a great video. You mention some things that I haven't seen touched on before. I already target at the foul line, always have, except right side spares, then I use the pins. I actually started to bend my elbow less to get it off a bit cleaner. I'm also auditioning different kinds of finger inserts because I sure don't need the tacky ones anymore lol. I see you don't use them, but with the swelling from lupus and ra, vacu grips are a necessity, otherwise my fingers will actually get stuck in the ball by the end of the night. I think that getting it off of my fingers cleaner is the key though. Now, increasing my speed increases my rev as well, resulting in the same overreaction. I'm great on fresh oil. Just bowled on Autobahn with a polished tropical surge lol. But on breakdown/second shift, I need the release to be a bit cleaner. The ring finger thing is interesting. I actually sized up in my ring because it would get sticky at the end of the night and cause accidental backup balls when trying to come more up the back. Before I got vacu grips and sized up, I used to take my ring finger out altogether, throwing with just my thumb and middle, come the end of the night when I needed less reaction. Also, I can pull harder with my ring to get more forward roll, or harder with my middle to get more rotation angle. Seems like I'm the opposite. I've never tried throwing with just my ring, but trust that I'm going to give it a shot to see what happens lol. Thanks again!

Thanks. Finger coukd be different based on how you track. Thanks for the update, keep them coming!

@@hihbowling Interesting. High track, low tilt.

Helped with my consistency over rev rate. 1/8" away...3/16" lateral on fingers. 1/8" away 1/8" right on thumb.

@@hihbowling Thanks for the quick reply Jason... Think I’m gonna drill a few test balls with similar pitches and see how they feel.

Yessir. That hood logic....hahaha

@@hihbowling FACTS!!! that hood DIY kit is in full effect.

Let me know if they work.

There's a lot of us!! Hahaha.

hihbowling ha!!!! Yea I get a lot of shit from other bowlers jokingly of course about it but at the end day I have the highest avg in the house jokes on them😂.

No doubt there are a lot of pros that do it too honestly.

Thats the goal!!! Glad it worked out.

Hahaha...let me know.

🙌🙌 glad the tips worked!

Congrats....how I think of it to keep my swing opened up. How the ball gets right.

Thanks! Glad it worked for you.

Thanks!

PS I am wanting a new ball to get from a 12 to a 14 lb ball. Right now I am throwing intense fire, but don’t know where to go for the new ball? Phase 3 maybe ? Thanks

Welcome to the community. I imagine the motion I want and draw it back to the line and that's where I look. The natural swing will get it where it needs to be. Can't go wrong with a Phase 3.

Thanks. Welcome to the community!

Thanks!

Always been comfortable looking there.

Lol...I cant do the the arrows anymore...

Thank you! More vids on the way.

Thanks for the view!

Thanks for trying to help bowlers.

I know a lot of people that do it. Nothing wrong with it. I don't think I can see that far anymore...hahaha

@@hihbowling haha i feel you on that man. I tried to get my 50 year old league partner to try it out he couldn't see at all haha. Im sure i will have that problem at some point too and will have to change it up

Yessir!

Let me know how it works.

@@hihbowling so in practice i gave it a go and it def boosted my rev rate but at least for that night i ditched it cause the pair i was on was the flippest lanes in the house so i really didnt need the extra revs, next week might be a diff story tho. After a few bad weeks cant argue with a 674.

Thanks. I'll get it done.

Glad it worked out!

Thanks

I've thrown it twice after the review. I want to get back into it. P3 is too perfect for me though.

Thanks! Missing it at the bottom isn't even an option anymore since I started doing that.

Thanks!

Thanks

Thanks for watching!
