Yeah, we want more training videos… It’s why we’re here watching the channel 😂 Maybe a video about where you’re looking… the dots, the arrows… no where 😂
Coming from a bowler making the transition from two fingers to a conventional style, yes, please let’s have Episode 2! This was super helpful! Thank you!
This was a good video for me to watch because I can visually see the steps needed at each stage and it helps as I can incorporate this in my practice to improve. I am looking forward to other videos that include the 5 step approach.
Thanks buddy . My first time coming across this channel . Great advice for a noob /chuck and duck bowler Like myself . You have good energy and you aren't making a "training" video just to show off like I have seen many times from other videos. I hope your channel takes off because it helped me greatly today ! Keep up the great work! And goodluck with the young baby you mentioned .
This video right here helps break it down , and you made it more understandable and I’m sure it will help bowlers that wanna improve… looking forward to vid#2
Good pointers there Luis. Though I thought there was some contradicting things at times. Something that caught hard was, why was the 2nd 1 step shot “really good”, you said it was good “because of timing” when did we work on that?
I enjoyed your video, Louis. I'm one that always bowled with a slight curve but mostly straight. So I've been watching videos for the past 3 months on how to throw a hook, as well as the proper techniques from start to finish (aka footwork, body posture & position & releases) but find myself missing a step or two on most throws. Realizing that improving muscle memory through repetitive practicing techniques is essential, as is unlearning bad habits that I'd picked up years ago. Self discipline & learning to be patient when I find the simple practice techniques tedious & boring (such as the ones in this video). There's a reason I'm unable to throw hooks well enough & consistently and it's because I haven't focused enough effort in the pre-bowling warmup practice techniques that you're teaching us. That all changes today & I'm looking forward to a 2nd Video to follow this one. Thank you for keeping it simple when that's just what the doctor ordered.
Can’t wait for the second part! As someone who has been bowling off an on for nearly 20 years and never learned how to throw the fingertip grip, I’m looking to make that next step to evolve past the conventional grip and learn how to hook the ball properly.
Excellent video ! ,I tend to get the chicken wing ,my arm cross over . So I need toget my hand under the ball, fingers and thumb point to the the pins . Question for you ,do you keep your fingers under the equater, (center line parallel to floor) or above when released? What about cupping or keep the wrist flat with the forearm ? Thanks for the video !
I watched this video but didnt do any drills. Last night at league i must have applied something from the video because the track was right by my thumb all night. Has never happened before. So thank you 🙏
I bowl with someone whose never bowled before(like she thought u were supposed to throw the ball...i guess "overhand;" basically fingers first) im working with her to train her a bit and these tips will help. I may just tell her to watch the video before next league night. Keep them coming though, they'll be a great help
Definitely a great video now I was just practicing here at home. My problem is sometimes I don’t try to spend the ball by this try to put some speech/ref behind the shot and I sometimes try too hard and that’s how I gutter that’s part of my inconsistency my friends are trying to tell me the suitcase/shaking hands method, I like their analysis but for my autism and fine motor skills it’s a little challenge the fourth suggestion, professional, you guys talk about is what it’s more about being behind the ball. That’s what I wanna do do you need to slide? Here’s my opinion about that my fear is, I’m afraid someone’s gonna fall and hurt and the proof is in the pudding. I was bowling with one of my uncles. He did slip and fall when he slid onto the lane. He was OK Thankfully. I stopwhen I got to the line for that reason.
Appreciate your video. I bowl straight this helped me understand the technique and drills to learn how to hook. And you did not make it over complicated was nice and simple. Would like see me more videos like this !!
Great video I’m a beginner league bowler I bought a Storm Surge beginner ball and recently purchased a Storm Summit hoping to get a little more hook I really enjoyed this video I was just curious if bowling ally’s allow this type of practicing and yes I did subscribe
Yep. Loved it. When I first started bowling with a house ball I did this. Then I saw good bowlers spinning the crap outta the ball and I started twisting my hand. Will going back to this make me play more outside bc now I’ll get less hook? Play nova and iQ tour solid.
What are the next drills? I have old school game and looking to get more revs. Drills like these our my go to improve my 170 avg game to the next level. Thanks again.
Thank You for your videos: Yes another video showing more steps would be extremely helpful. I for one appreciate your time and effort to help bowlers to be better and for your ball reviews, again Thank You.
As someone who is looking to relearn how to release properly, I like this video and hope to see part 2. One question, as we are releasing up the back are we relying on the coverstock and core in the ball to provide the hook rather then trying to spin it ourselves?
Hi Luis....I love this....I still cant get my hand under the ball....I have bad wrist here and weak...what can I do better if my hand is on the side of the ball? Your "old" friend here.... I'm still trying to improve my game...but I just recovering fro open heart surgery ...
The video shows you throwing off the back of the ball like a yo yo. But your last 2 shots where you get the curve you are turning your wrist inward to get rotation. It is not a full suit case type throw but you do turn your wrist inward. Can you elaborate on this in your next video. Thanks
I have not been bowing from the 8th week of league, because of heart problem had surgery going on 3 months I AM GOING TO USE YOUR VIDEO TECHNICH TO START PRACTICING ON MARCH 3RD AND WILL PRACTICE'S ALL SUMMER TO GET READY FOR FALL, BY THE WAY I HAD OPEN HEART SURGERY
Please show more as i am so inconsistent having 140 ave. I bowl on an alley with little oil-- My ball is a pyramid pathogen because it reponds to having less oil performance. I am 78 yr old and LOVE to bowl, Thanks Constance
Good instruction. I am battling a totally inconsistent release. Virtually all videos are shot from behind or from the side. I would appreciate one from down lane. A close up of how the ball comes off your thumb and fingers.
I was watching how you did the fingers an hand strait forward an I likecthecyoubexplainingbhowcintoncomfortable release , but question I twist my hand an left handed instead releasing the ball at 12 o’clock like you do I more or less at 2 o’clock would trying the practice still effective like your demonstrating it
Luis, when you lift the ball off the ground, how do you keep your hand behind the ball/fingers under the equator without excessive grip pressure? Obviously, some grip pressure is necessary, but where should you feel it? I find I have difficulty keeping my hand behind the ball without squeezing, even after having my fit checked. You always hear how you're supposed to keep your arm and wrist muscles relaxed throughout the swing, but how do you do that while simultaneously keeping your hand in the correct position to release the ball?
very helpful to me..tq..not too advance..totally for beginner..good advice..will try that tomorrow with my black widow hybrid 2.0..im a straight bowler with average 200..but to join club, i need to be either hook player or spinnner@some call helicopter...
Why follow through straight? Shouldn't the drills follow through as if you wanted to hook the bowling ball? From taking shooting instruction Jerry Miculek would call that negative training. Please explain that point to help me understand. Thanks for your time and attention to detail.
No. As for why, the simplest answer is "a bowling ball is not a shotgun", and you're not trying to hit a moving target. Right off your hand, the ball travels in the direction of your swing and follow through. Thanks to modern cores and cover stocks, the ball will hook and change direction down lane whether you like it or not. You're not creating hook, you're controlling it. Your job is to direct the ball to an appropriate breakpoint down lane, and let the ball do the rest... you're aiming at a fixed point on the lane (the breakpoint , NOT at the pocket.
hey Luis my bad habits is coming back so I'm doing the down on the knee shots im doing 20 at home and at the alley i wanted to ask if my track is still low do i go to the next step down on the knee with the lefting of the ball thank you for the video
Yeah, we want more training videos… It’s why we’re here watching the channel 😂 Maybe a video about where you’re looking… the dots, the arrows… no where 😂
Let's see episode 2. There can never be too many training videos.
Where can i see the 2nd video?
Nice video
Loved your demonstration on staying behind the ball. Add me to the list of wanting to see more.
As a new bowler, this perspective (not from a pro) helps me tremendously.
Keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward to more videos.
This video is the best explanation I’ve found on UA-cam. Well done keep em coming.
Wow, thanks! I really appreciate that!
@@LuisNapoles where's part 2?
That was great. A refresher always helps. I’m working on the same thing myself.

Trying to figure out my own swing - this has been the most thorough explanation. Thank you!!!
glad you liked it! Im constantly working on it!
Yes, please, part 2. I enjoy the instructional videos.
Been bowling for 1 month, thank you this is what I was looking for.
Will definitely watch version 2
I appreciate the way you break things down and explain the expected result. I would certainly watch a part 2!
Love the simple straight forward explanation and demo ❤

Appreciate your efforts
I am getting back into the game after many years away. Thank you for making this video 👍
Can’t wait for the second part! As someone who has been bowling off an on for nearly 20 years and never learned how to throw the fingertip grip, I’m looking to make that next step to evolve past the conventional grip and learn how to hook the ball properly.
Nice Video. Thanks. It would be nice to see the next phases.

Awesome video! If you can't afford to go bowling like that, you can modify the first drill using the ball spinner.
Great job, helped my wife a lot. Keep it up
Love the video. I learned some great drills. I am a total newbie. Thank you.
Thanks for this. It helps me to better understand some of the tips people have been giving me.
Yep. Loved it. When I first started bowling with a house ball I did this. Then I saw good bowlers spinning the crap outta the ball and I started twisting my hand. Will going back to this make me play more outside bc now I’ll get less hook? Play nova and iQ tour solid.
I'm ready for episode 2 bring it on. Lets learn to bowl better :)
I’ll make it happen!!

I commented on that as well.

Good instruction. I am battling a totally inconsistent release. Virtually all videos are shot from behind or from the side. I would appreciate one from down lane. A close up of how the ball comes off your thumb and fingers.

I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your help. 👍🏽
For the beginning should I buy a new ball or use the bowling alley ball?
Why follow through straight? Shouldn't the drills follow through as if you wanted to hook the bowling ball? From taking shooting instruction Jerry Miculek would call that negative training. Please explain that point to help me understand. Thanks for your time and attention to detail.

Good morning Luis napoles how are you doing this morning
This video brought me to your channel ...when will there be a part 2 ?
hey Luis my bad habits is coming back so I'm doing the down on the knee shots im doing 20 at home and at the alley i wanted to ask if my track is still low do i go to the next step down on the knee with the lefting of the ball thank you for the video
if the track is still low that means you are moving something when there should be zero wrist movement
would this drill still be appropriate for a youth bowler first starting out?
What type of center core do you use in your ball?
