HUGE SCORES at the PBA Regional in Wichita! 

Is this James? I think you were right next to us.

@@baldbrothersbowling yup that's me! Pretty sure y'all were a few pairs away since I only followed onto Boog's pair once or twice, but definitely not far away. You bowling the Edmond stop next month?

@@ShimWreckerEnterprises yep, I will be there. I just subbed to your channel. You did great this weekend.

@@baldbrothersbowling many thanks! See ya down there

100%

Thanks for watching. Sometimes it's hard to throw in commentary during, but I can start maybe adding text like I did with the moves. Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you for asking that question. I can certainly answer that. For me, there are a couple of things at play. First, I have been bowling for 45 years, and the Yo-Yo is a somewhat newer teaching style to increase revs. Because I have decades of a more "traditional" release, I have muscle memory built into my swing that is hard to break. Second, I also have arthritis in my wrist which limits my flexibility (also why I have to tape up my wrist as I do otherwise I experience a lot of pain). All this said, I have been working on having more yo-yo (and I coach younger bowlers who don't have the muscle memory that I do to use this). It's not pronounced because of the items I said above, but there is a little there. I did a video recently about increasing revs using 1 tip: focusing on getting your knuckles in towards your calf right at release, and another that talks about going from cupped to uncupped back to cupped (which is another way of saying yo-yo). I can't do it quite as much as I'd like, but the little bit that I can has increased my rev rate from about 330 to 386 (in that video). So I am achieving a very slight yo-yo, it's just very slight and hard to see compared to the big rev guys. If I could get more of it, I certainly would. I am working on getting a little more each time I practice, but I have to break 4-1/2 decades of muscle memory, so it's a slow process. Thank you for watching and for the comment!

@@baldbrothersbowling Thank you so much for that reply. Im in almost the exact situation you are. been bowling for 30 years, came back and this yo yo thing has taken over. Ive spent the last 2 months doing nothing but 0 step and 1 step drills to try and learn this thing. Man, its so tough bc like you said, I have decades of muscle memory that just doesnt want to let go. This last weekend I actually had a break through and am super excited to keep the momentum. This has easily been the hardest thing Ive ever tried to learn in bowling. Again, super appreciate the detailed response.

Appreciate the feedback. It's a new music program I am experimenting with. I will take note of it. Thank you.

I've got to second that, I felt like they put up lanes at Electronic Daisy Festival in Vegas
