Once again gold from this young, talented and very smart man. Keep it coming. Would love to hear some advice for low rev/low speed seniors and how we should be attacking house shots. Where on the lane should we play and what types of ball should we be using, etc.
Hey, Anthony. I am a big fan. I grew up in east Dallas, 1 mile from Eastfield Jr College in the 1970s. My parents bowled league at Jupiter Bowling Lanes when I was very young. I went nuts watching your documentary that is now on RU-vid how you grew up on the other side of Eastfield in Mesquite. I just retired at 65 and am now bowling in league at Rowlett Bowlarama with Joyce Powers. She's told me some stories about you. I am very excited that you started this channel. Keep it going. You are the best bowler on the planet.
Thanks Simo! Would love to see you do a video on how you target on the lane with your eyes and what you look, when, and where. Do you move your eyes as you walk?
I'm a one-handed right handed bowler, but I actually throw a backup spare ball on most of my spares. I was actually learning to flatten my hand for the 10 pin, but it kept backing up based on how I released it, so I stopped fighting it. Now my right side spares are much easier.
That's funny, I do something similar to Simo on broken down patterns. Rather than move outside I just go inside and throw a super super tight line to the pocket. Pick up my ball speed, don't worry about revs, and just let the ball move a board or two to rocket into the pocket
AS someone who just recently started bowling it is amazing to see the pros break down things about the game. I have trouble with knowing when to ball up or ball down so that would be cool to learn about. I think I get a bit nervous about ball changes after good games. (keep in mind i only average about 170) Spare systems would be nice to see from you too
Thx for the video. How about hand/finger placement on the ball, How much you manipulate axis tilt, affects from different layouts, more info based around the equipment next go round.
This is super helpful stuff, thanks! Only one selfish request: could you occasionally flip the view to left hand side? I’m very used to translating over now, but it still takes effort, and at 52 I don’t learn as quickly as I used to. I need all the help I can get! Great stuff. Looking forward to what you’ve got coming up.
great video, would definitely love to learn some things about pinsetters and why certain things happen e.g. why balls get stuck, why pins fall from the sky etc.
Biggest things I've struggled with in the 2 handed game is this: launch angle control, what I need to think about to get the ball to hit the target, and how to fine tune rotation. I'm really good at dead crushing it up the back and getting way on the side of it. But anywhere in between? It's super challenging. Anything in between those two, it doesn't feel different when I release it so I need to find a way to get something to feel when I do it.
I would like to see the actual speed that it shows on the screen so we can know in mph actually how much you sped up or slowed down the ball! Great vids new subscriber!
I would love to know how often you are changing where you look depending on the moves you make. As well as what spot on the lanes do you look in general? Is it the board at the arrows, the breakpoint or somewhere inbetween? Loving the channel so far!!!
Another great video. I was wondering if you could explain ball choices for certain league/tournament bowlers. What tips would you suggest in terms of a ball choice for a bowler that throws it say 12 mph with a lower rev rate? When and why to choose asym versus sym type ball? Thanks for your insights. I am diggin your channel Simo!
Great video! To answer your question, I'd love to see more about confidence and generally the mental part of the game. How do you keep all these different tools in check mentally? Sometimes I struggle with swapping from hooking the ball to sending it straight at spares. I can't imagine how hard it would be for me to add something like a backup ball into the toolbox and keep my other shots on point. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
hi simo! big fan! i'm having a hard time converting from a 1 handed no thumb bowler to a 2handed bowler, so i have a few questions. 😅 how do you increase your speed as a 2hander and how do you hold your ball with both hands? do you feel equal weight for both hands or is it a transfer of weight from one hand to the other? i feel like my backswing is lower and my ball speed is also slower 2handed compared to 1 handed. also, welcome to youtube! thanks for the great videos so far :D
A challenge/advice video on 1 handed no thumb bowling. Basically Tom Dougherty style. This is the way I bowl and there is no much of guidance or content on this style
Trying to change over to two handed due to hand issues ( I`m 70 ) Having trouble with speed. When I stay slow I nail my target and when I try to get ball speed higher I almost always pull it. Hope you can cover that down the road. Thanks for the vids and I think you`re doing great.
i learned the two handed back up ball aswell but im not that accurate throwing the first shot.. i mainly use it for the tenpin and baby split.. works very well.
I would like to learn how mess up the lanes during practice, and not have guys clock ya with a tire iron!!! Do you offer them money, free beer, free Storm sponsorships? How?? Thanks
Shouts out to Jordan Hornes of the D. Wish I had taken a pic when I saw you practicing at Thunderbowl all those years ago with Jordan watching and coaching.
Can you please do a video or explain in one of your videos what you do to control your rotation and tilt? What's your average ball speed you bowl with with your not trying to control or change it?
How did you learn to throw a back up ball without hurting your finger? Seems like every time i do it, my finger hurts afterwards. Is it just practice makes perfect and keep repping it? Keep up the awesome videos, sir. Appreciate it!
What ratio you move your target when you move your feet? 2 left with the feet and one with the eyes? what direction; both left or right? and how far down the lane is your target?
Simo, what’s your go to layout on the Phaze 2? Also a two hander And any tips on the backup ball? I have trouble getting my fingers out of it and it feels like they are bending the wrong way
How do you throw it faster through the friction. What exactly do you try to do? A video on that would be awesome. There isn't a lot of lane play videos especially ones that help with playing straighter and keeping ball speed up.
near the end of the video wear you were doing the hooking to left side of the i always do that when im hooking since its more natural for my hand but some when i hook to the the same it doesn't usually go to plan
Are they a Lefty like me though? Im a backup bowler, only use index&middle digits no thumb Bowl on the “wrong side” too Right handed but fractured it at 10, still write using it but all my athletic stuff is Lefty (ambidextrous at baseball hitting golf an playing guitar)
