Increase Your Bowling Average! How To Bowl With The Spare System 3-6-9 Bowling Technique!  

I just started practicing this system today and made all but one makeable spares. Thanks for the tip!

thank you jennifer could you please explain this to my current team!!!

Really appreciate the kind words. Glad to have you on board the bowling train. Welcome! Any questions, let me know!

You seem to be keenly aware of your game and how to work around what you can and can’t do. You have a spare system that works for you and that’s the entire point. Bravo! 👏🏽 Thank you for your support and you, Squidly, are awesome!

@@ArtOfBowling - Thank you for the very kind words coach! .. I like to learn new things (and they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks .. HA!) .. The reason I got back into bowling, after a nearly 40 year absence, well, first was for something my wife and I could do together, but, the reason why I now have 5 bowling balls and all the gear (after just 4 months of playing) is because I am fascinated by all of the new "science" behind it all. Back in the day (early 80's) I don't think there was quite as much "science" to it all. You threw a rock down the lane and hoped for the best. At least that's the way it seemed to me then. Now, look out! .. there's plastic, urethane, reactive, solid, pearl, symmetric, asymmetric, oil patters, yadda yadda yadda. Well, for me this just fascinates me and so I try to learn what it's all about. Someone like you has lived through the progression of ALL of this stuff and has gained invaluable knowledge as to "why" all of these things, and, what works and what doesn't work. Let's be honest, there are all sorts of myths out there of what works and what doesn't. Just like golf, there is no "magic" to it, it is physics and biomechanics. I became pretty darned good at golf (set a couple course records) because I learned to differentiate between myth and physics. To me, you concentrate on the physics and how to get ones body to perform as consistently repeatably to those physics (if that makes sense). There must be a learned reason for using the 3-6-9 technique. Even if my "straight" technique works for me, I still want learn the 3-6-9 technique and learn the "why". To me, this is the fun part. Perhaps this is why I have thought nothing about hitting 5,000 golf balls a day training with video, launch monitors, etc ... Bowling is doing the same thing to me .. drives my wife nuts .. hahaha! .. Keep up the fantastic stuff coach .. I am reviewing some of your older videos (as you can see) .. and it's all just pure gold!

Kudos to you for being so motivated by curiosity… and my sympathies to your poor wife for having to deal with it all 😅 Thank you for your constant feedback. The channel thrives on this kind of stuff, and your support really means the world to me and the rest of Team AOB. Keep the feedback and suggestions coming!

@@ArtOfBowling - You are most welcome Coach! .. I am learning a lot from you. You are a fantastic guy and create invaluable content. You make sense! .. Thank YOU for providing all of this! .. it takes a lot of time and effort for you to do these things, and I greatly appreciate what you are doing.

Thanks for watching and...

Duke uses plastic balls quite often!

Tony Lane no he doesn’t, he’s one of the bowlers who don’t use one on tour and the commentators have said that before

@@TLane actually he does not

Prather doesn't either

Yea.. its not difficult to use a strike ball for spare shooting. I actually think it might be easier

Ive got to look at that! how did you play it. Did the give you the sheet with lane settings on it i would like to put it out and see how it could be played.

@@ArtOfBowling 😂😂😂😂😂😂 sorry I did not bowl I watch it

Yes, that'd work. What I do is I usually move 1 board right of where I stand for my strikes and throw the ball at my strike target for the 8 pin.

I go stright...on a house shot I might hook it at the left side but for the most part plastic and stright

Yes. IT works for me. And i had a Play without Ofen frames with this spare system.

I do

@@ArtOfBowling Where is it?

What exactly do you mean by “down the drain”? Are you throwing the ball in the gutter on your first shot or spare attempts?

@@ArtOfBowling multiple times gutter almost 3 to 4 times

Also i need to learn how to bowl properly

Slow your approach down to a normal walking speed, when you master that then you can try different foot speeds!!!!

Yes leo

You seem to have "straight" conflated with "parallel." The ball is traveling on a straight line from the foul line to the pin deck. The 3-6-9 system gets you lined up so that the line of travel is at the correct angle on the lane and takes the gutter out of play.

Yes there is a benefit to throwing plastic balls. What I do is throw my plastic ball for the right side shots. And for the left side I hook at them because it is just easier and more accurate. They say that throwing straight at spares are more accurate, but as a pro, I’ve seen many bowlers such as myself be able to hook at the left side spares and make them most of the time, if not all the time. Hope this helps. 😊

@@TheGeniusHaileyPerlstein are you throwing the plastic ball straight or just with less hook? And do you use the same release you do on your strike shots or do you adjust it to take revs off the ball? You didn't explain what the benefit actually is in your reply.

@@ArtOfBowling so your answer to my legitimate question about your video is to simply refer me to the video that prompted my question in the first place? That doesn't seem very helpful to me.

@@MikeDCWeld the answer is in there go stright wuth plastic at all spares...hookung at left side works on house shot not on diffulcult patterns mastering the plastuc ball going stright will make yoy better

Invest in one saves money in the long run

Get one, or be left behind!

A plastic ball isn't necessarily required, but it will allow you to take lane conditions out of play and not have to alter your hand when throwing the ball, so it helps a lot. But again, it's not necessary required. EJ Tacket is a great example, he throws his reactive ball at his spares but he flattens his wrist and doesn't put any revs on the ball. It's a lot easier to use plastic and throw normally

@@CMonKeY135 only if you're not already hooking plastic with your normal release. It's just as easy for me to throw my reactive ball straight as it is to throw a plastic ball straight. I primarily use my T-Zone for the right side corner pins thrown backup ball. Everything else I either hook to or throw straight with my reactive ball.

there is only one Norm Duke

are you drifting?

I don't think so because middle arrow works for leftside pins, but not right.
