This probably the best explanation that I have seen. I have been trying to become a better bowler and get those rotations without hurting my arm doing so. Definitely going to run this drill.
A buddy(who isn't a bowler) of mine asked me recently while we were bowling "how I got it to spin like that". I then used my Master rosin ball to demonstrate to him what he needed to do, including rolling the ball off his fingers. I emphasizes to him you aren't necessarily "spinning" the ball, because that would make the ball rotate basically like a top if you were using your wrist to impart the wrong kind of motion on the ball. He got the concept pretty quickly and this method would have been even better, but I didn't have a football on hand lol.
@baldbrothersbowling but this method is especially good, because the football will really tell on you if you don't have the motion right with a wobble or tumble too. I had never thought to use one before as a training aid, great choice!
This is a good video on how to be more consistent with your release a more consistent you are with your release the more consistent your ball reaction will be
I like this explanation my only problem is I hear a lot about being on the "inside" of the ball. But when spiraling a football your hand needs to be on the outside if that makes sense
And then is bowling "up the back" of the ball the equivalent of spinning the football but the noses of the football are parallel to you if that makes sense?
To just spiral it, you can be outside the football, just like you CAN hook the ball that way. To get a tighter spiral with more revolutions, you actual do come inside the football. The way the hand is cupped and cocked, you fingers will be closer to your hip. The idea I talk about at the very end is that the spiral can help those who don't hook the ball much hook it more. If the goal is even more revs, you do get your hand farther inside in both cases.
Also, your assessment of coming up the back would be correct if you grip the football centrally on the laces. In this drill, I talk about how you have to grab low on the laces AND rotate the ball in your hand to sit a little more in the palm. If you come up the back of the football this way, it won't actually be parallel. Additionally, when you spiral a football, the noise would typically be pointed at the target, but following these tips I outlined, it should be more diagonal. All that said, I greatly appreciate you watching and commenting.
I do. I switched about 2 years ago. I have arthritis in my wrist and index finger knuckle, and after trying many things, this and left pitching my thumb helped the most.
This drill is for those who struggle with the yoyo release. I could do the EXACT same release, but those who struggle will still struggle. The point is to give them something to try that maybe they can do that will be close. It is close. It still uses the cupped wrist to flattening the wrist to achieve getting the ball off the thumb first and into a roll. That part is the same.
This drill makes the most sense of trying to get to the yoyo release.
Thank you.
I practiced this in the early 90s and since forgot about it. Thanks for bringing this video out and bringing me back memories of back then.

Thank you. Let me know how it goes.
This technique is what i always tell people to do and i demonstrate it just like u lol i even do it with a ball
Awso.e video..now I need to incorporate this on the lanes..
Best explanation I have seen in years. Thanks
Appreciate that.
You weren't kidding, this was quick to be put out. Great video. I was actually working on this last weekend. I went from 280 rev to 340.
That is awesome!!!

That's awesome. I use rosin balls, softballs, even golf balls. They all do this well. Great job.

Thanks.. now i get it... Ur a great teacher. God bless u..
Appreciate that.
That's why I subbed because your videos are always spot on. This one takes the cake. Mark 6:30 up to 7:12 very much sums it up. Keep it brother!
Appreciate that.
Can't wait to cut it loose.
Physical visualization. 🏈
I got your yo-yo. Let go bro'!
Great explanation! Thanks.
Thank you!!!
Again your a great instructor
I greatly appreciate that

The video is great.
Thank you
@@baldbrothersbowling Love from Holland Great Channel.
Gotta get that thumb outta the ball.. first.... that my problem...( letting the ball go...)
Is there any thing different being left handed or would it be as you explained just the opposite
The concepts are the same with either hand, just mirror image.
Do you have sarge on your Primal?
I do. I switched about 2 years ago. I have arthritis in my wrist and index finger knuckle, and after trying many things, this and left pitching my thumb helped the most.
It is possible to do the spiral release without cupping the wrist or bending the elbow.
You certainly can. The Rev rate will likely be a bit lower, but absolutely. You can try a football without the cup and see the difference.
@@baldbrothersbowling I think this is safer to start so people do not hurt themselves trying the spiral.
Aren't you doing a video..using a wrist brace...?..
That’s not a yoyo toss of a football. 🏈

Horrible spike!
That's why I bowl.
