Not sure about the whole slowing feet down thing, but I noticed that if I'm in a tournament or playing a long sport pattern, moving up on approach 1-2 feet has my ball speed drop about 1 mph on average and gets the ball to turn into the pocket at a better angle increasing my strike %. Bowled 681 last week in league for reference.
First off, congratulations on your new coaching gig. Second, thank you for all these valuable tips. I last bowled in a sanctioned league over 22 years ago and suffered a wrist injury that forced me out of bowling. Recently I decided to give bowling another shot and began using your videos to learn how to properly release my ball, fix my timing and I have to say, my game is much better now than it was back when I stopped bowling. I still have a lot to improve on, but I’m headed in the right direction. Wishing you much success with Adelphi.
Thank you! Last week, I was told to shorten my approach (cos I was apparently too fast when starting from farther back). I tried that the next time I bowled, but discovered that I wasn't getting the same sort of pin action as I had (probably cost of the lost ball speed). I went back to the longer (and faster) approach and saw an immediate difference.
Finally! .. another great AOB video !!! .. WOOHOO!! .. thank you Coach Arthur !!! .. I hope you are doing well !! .. thank you for another fantastic video !!!
By watching Parker Bohn I finally decided to give the 4-step approach another try after all these years. I found that my body wanted me to move my feet more quickly which I never did with my 5-steps. My ball speed increased probably 1.5 to 2 mph. Saw my spare shots get up to 18 and 19 mph. My accuracy began to improve and my average began to improve as well. The ball got into a better roll with my hand staying behind the ball a bit easier. Just like PBATommy I'm doing much better. My sagging average is now up 15 pins. I have a bit more confidence when I get up there for my next frame. :) Best of luck at Adelphi coach!
Great advice! Speed and power come from your waist down. The ball should dictate your foot speed not the other way around. Keep those feet moving to keep up with your loose arm swing. Slowing up your feet will make you muscle the arm thus taking away repeatability and accuracy. Good work here Arthur!
I found just the opposite to be true. Slowing up my feet loosened up my swing, vastly improving my accuracy and repeatability. Fast feet shortened my backswing and made me yank on the ball.
Hello Art hope you continue to do well in the coaching scene for the ladies! I actually was told to slow down but only my last two steps, i was getting them a little fast so my timing was off and i was basically dropping the ball but since then i’ve start picking the speed back up cause i feel more in time, thanks again for the awesome content!
@@ArtOfBowling one of these days I’ll listen to these videos AND apply the lessons to my bowling,🤣 found your channel a little over 6-7 month ago and just been a little information sponge on just about everything to get better at this sport, i feel like my timing is back so I’ll definitely focus on picking the tempo back up in my last two steps, thanks again for your awesome content!
There's a lot of pros that don't have fast feet??? Norm Duke, Kris Prather, Chris Barnes??? For me when I slow my feet down my timing is much better. When my feet are fast my elbow comes out.
Its true but not all Bowlers can work the same way. Last February, I won a January Bowler of the Month Tournament by slowing my feet down. But then by May, my average collapsed rapidly. Last week I won a League Night and after I shot an awful 134, I practiced on one lane and I decided to move my feet faster and it worked as my scores increased to 172 and 168.
You are coming to Nashville !!! .. WOOHOO!! .. where are you playing? .. I would very much like to attend, and perhaps even get the opportunity to shake your hand!!!
Sooo… at my club I get told to slow it down and have been but didn’t notice much when I tried my own thing which is what you are saying, I was getting a better result. And that was standing between both dots front and back. Like your example at the end🤷🏻
I roll the ball around 19.5 and I use a 15 Ibs ball and people have been telling me to slow my speed down and slow my feet all year. Also I push out so I'm going to fix that with the drill you just said also I've been squeezing my ball because my thumb hole is a tad to big so I put tape in the thumb and should get more revs and with the speed i should get very great pin action and Accuracy. Thanks for the tips.
Will you please do a vid on bowling with a low weight ball. I am 64 and have a tough time with any ball over 10lbs. I just can't hold them. Any tips for bowlers like me would be very appreciated.
What I notice that works for me is to go against what other players have told me, ig hold the ball higher for more speed, I find that my speed drops when I do that. So I hold it lower for more speed. Since I am a five step player, I keep my non-bowling hand on the ball until end of the 2nd step, beginning of the 3rd step. I'm not sure exactly when my non-bowling hand gets off the ball, but I can feel when it is too early or too late. I go as fast as I can and still maintain balance in motion. My motto is Speed Kills..... The Pins! My tempo is something like slow slow go go go and actually my armswing speed determines my foot speed. IMHO too many bowlers try to match their armswing to their feet rather than the inverse. Matching your foot speed to your armswing speed. Congrats on your coaching position with Adelphi!
Interesting how you say to get the ball into the swing earlier. Im a two hander with no push-away (form is very similar to Jesper Svensson) and I get the ball into the swing later than many because of the no push-away. Also on JR pro-shops video when Frank Buffa is coaching Jimoo, Frank says to get the ball into the swing later, which will increase the power and speed of the delivery. Is this right for a two hander? Because when I get the ball into the swing too early, I tend to muscle the ball too much and not let my hop step and shoulder rotation bring the ball into the backswing.
Coach, I’ve never used my thumb to bowl. I got checked on it last night by another player on another team and they said that since I was new and didn’t know any better they’ll let it slide. Help me use my thumb? If that’s even a valid question?
My lack of accuracy comes from not ending in the same location with my feet when I release. Slowing down my approach a bit helps me end in the same spot, and increases my accuracy.
I had an Achilles tear that healed naturally. When I returned I changed my approach and slowed my feet down. I became more accurate and had more control of the ball. I'm speed dominant and have not lost my ball speed.
Tomas Kayhko was insanely accurate during the US Open. But I noticed his ball speed was very very slow so it got me wondering, is this a trade off? Does playing slower equal a more consistently accurate delivery?
we get far more lucky strikes then perfect strikes ball speed is the number one factor in getting the "Lucky" strike...is it luck if we can carry that on a consitant basis!!!!
Feet speed is precipitated or determined by swing. A higher backswing as well as a loose backswing will need more time to get to the foul line than a short muscled swing. Simple physics. It's all about tempo and timing.
I'm weird. My ball speed goes up when I slow my feet down. It's about all I can do to keep the revs down. I can sprint to the line and barely break 14.5 but tiptoe and I roll 17-18.
I also subscribe to high ball speed. But that is achieved by arm swing not approach speed. If I walk too fast I get less rotation and hook so I can't throw it as hard as when I don't walk too fast.
Art; I really like your channel and respect most every tip you have shared. However as a 2 hander (after 60 years bowling one handed) I am trying to incorporate late timing so I try no to move the ball until my 3rd (hop) step. Is that incorrect?
Slowing my feet down improved my timing by allowing me to have a much more relaxed, non-muscled swing. It allows me to have greater control over my tempo and to get the ball to the flat spot at the right time. It has made a tremendous improvement in my game. As for bowlers being athletes, lol. I love bowling but physical fitness is about the last thing on most bowlers minds, even at the professional level. For an example of slow feet, watch these guys named Dom Barrett and Chris Barnes. Heck, even Belmo doesn't have fast feet. They don't have speed or accuracy problems.
not the cause of late timing....if thats what it is...the people that are telling u your timng is late...where are they standing...I am guessing behind you. In which case they have no idea about your timing....late timing is caused by a late start to your push away....
I have been told most bowlers throw the ball to fast and don’t give the ball time to do what it was designed to do. If I have fast feet I bowl terribly. I throw the ball fast even when I tell myself to slow down.
Hey David, do u do personal break down of a video if i pay and send it in? if so, where can i get this service from? As a two hander, there is no coaches in my area to help improve my game.
@@ArtOfBowling I'll have to try that! I had Achilles surgery 6 months ago and still don't quite trust my sliding leg, so I end up falling left of my shots q lot as a right hander. Are there some drills or exercises I can do to help build that confidence back?
Congratulations Coach O'Connor on becoming Head Coach for the Adelphi Women's Bowling Team. Well deserved. Hope we will still get your "Gems" or "Pearls of Wisdom" to keep learning at this great game?
From my experience this is not exactly a correct "myth". People are not saying that in general slower makes you more accurate. Otherwise we would see all pros do it. People say that when you have a bad day and nothing works and you feel you don't even know how to ball , THEN try TEMPORARILY to slow down and ONLY until you find your bearings. Also slowing the feet that bad day, doesn't immediately mess up your timing because your brain knows to adjust temporarily. Besides when we slow feet , it is obvious that the person will start the swing at a different time to help with timing. Besides, what happens when you want to throw the ball slower anyway because the lane demands ? Does it mean you are going to mess up your timing? No, you adjust your approach. So to me this is a non existent myth as described in the video. The only thin i agree with, is that IN GENERAL you don't want to lose speed unless absolutely necessary.
practice with Four steps moving the ball with the first step then get used to starting it on the second step ball side leg and arm neef to move together
If I don't slow my feet down I will throw a 20mph ball and with my low rev rate my ball goes straight if I slow my feet I can get my ball down to 14 my ball will come into the pocket better
Congrats Coach. I don’t know I’m not pro. But I am a guy that has played a lot of sports. My questioned is why is the physical aspect of the game so neglected. There not one pro bowler on tv that looks like they take there fitness seriously. There either really skinny or fat. There’s not one that in what ppl would consider athletic looking. I say the because I slowed down and my ball speed went up. From low 16 to high 17-18. But I’m in great shape.
I'm a fan of Art and always will be, but he is wrong about this, at least for the majority of bowlers. At least 80% of bowlers ALREADY HAVE fast feet. They are either decisively early with their timing and double dribble the ball, or they are decisively late and will loft the ball to the arrows because of how much they squeeze/muscle. Telling these bowlers to move faster is going to do more harm than good. Combine this with another indefensible fact, that fact being that at least 80% of bowlers are speed dominant/RPM challenged (which means they do not have enough RPMs to match their ball speed) and all of a sudden anyone who takes this advice will go from struggling with leaving light 2s/weak 10s to leaving 5-7-10 and bucket variations...if they even sniff the head pin at all. Art has proven to be one of the best coaches out there, but he needs to revisit his argument that a faster ball yields more carry. This is simply not true AT ALL if your RPMs aren't above 300-350 or so. Bowling is a game of angles, NOT momentum. It USED to be a game of momentum but that was when stone 5s were a thing (up until the 1990s or so).
Yes in most cases.. I’m 70 years old so fast feet doesn’t work for me anymore !! You’re talking about the younger generation which is great by all means. But the older a bowler gets the slower the feet are. We don’t like it but unfortunately that’s the way it is.. But I still bowl five nights plus tournament on the weekends for the last 32 years.. you need to do a video for the older generation on fast or slow feet.. I still like your videos but it’s mostly on the younger generation…
Yes I agree.. But I’ve learned it’s not how fast or slow a bowler feet is it all about rhythm of the bowlers feet.. I see bowlers with their feet so fast and when they get to the line they fall off their shot and crossover into the next lane.. I’m still very competitive and still can beat 80 percent of the young guns not bragging just more experience and a great mentality game even at 70 years of age..
I have consistently fast feet and high ball speed. Definitely a speed dominant player as I don’t have the revs to match up with that higher speed. Is it wrong for me to be focusing on slowing my feet (and in turn ball speed) down to try and match my revs better?
Congrats on coaching Adelphi. As someone who just turned 65, I decided to move faster, and when I do, I bowl better. Great advice, Arthur.
Thanks Art. This has always been a quandary for me. Will keep this in mind at nationals next week.
Good luck with the team.

Nice!
If I don't slow my feet down I will throw a 20mph ball and with my low rev rate my ball goes straight if I slow my feet I can get my ball down to 14 my ball will come into the pocket better
If you insert your thumb as far as it can go in the thumb hole and speed up with a little slid at the end you will get more revs so it will even out.
Amen
However! If you are RPM dominant/speed challenged (which means your RPMs aren't matched up with ball speed) THEN this makes perfect sense.
Will faster feet help early timing?
it is a matter of where you start the ball in your stance
@@ArtOfBowling which direction might be a starting direction to attempt to be a correction?
