If this video helped at all let me know which tips worked......
U bowl any tournaments or sport shot leagues?
@@vinny702 yes and PBA regionals
I liked how you had side video and paused on downswing to explain bent elbow! That really helped us visualize. Would be great showing that from behind too. When you explained why you look at foul it makes since, what doesn't is are you really looking straight at the boards there on foul line or maybe a couple feet in front of foul line? Hard to imagine how you change marks when your angles are more exaggerated because your looking straight down at release.
@@Alldayertexas It's all imaginary angles. I stare at the boards at the line, thr grain itself, black line separating them, and in the right gutter when if I'm standing like 10-15 (Rare). If I'm told to hit a certain spot I could no problem.
Any advice for us two handers on rev rate increase
100% agree with the ring finger....just focused on getting my ring finger secured and bam! strike after strike..Thanks man!
Yessir
I'm active duty and currently trying to get back into bowling competitively. Growing up, I remember getting criticism from other kids from youth leagues because of my rev rate. They used to say my release was "wild" and needs to be "smoother". Jason your enthusiasm has boosted my confidence. Thank You!
Man I love this... an aggressive release used to be met with criticism and someone trying to change your game.
Keep hitting it harder man, bowling needs this side of the game to balance out all of the other sides. There is never just one right answer or one way to do it.
Solid video. Ive been slowly perfecting that elbow bend and getting my thumb out quicker for the past 2 ish years and now I have my dream release and game. Everything you did in this video is legit brother thank you for being the first to break it down so simply.
Appreciate it!
Excellent video! I've been watching your stuff for years, so I don't know how I missed this one. Two big takeaways:
3:50 - I've been bowling leagues and tournaments since 1981. From 2015 and before, my layout had my ring finger too far forward. I took three years off. I came back in the fall of 2018 with new equipment and a new PSO who moved my ring finger about 1/4" back. I picked up about 30-40 RPM with just that move.
8:00 - I never understood the yo-yo confusion before, but you explained why it's so confusing perfectly.
Been bowling 18 years and up until now NO ONE told me anything about the finger order and which one is the vocal point. I've asked so many people and watched a ton of vids.
The arm bend was an instant rev increaser for me but I did torch my wrist in the process. Gonna have to tweak it a bit more to relieve some of that stress but was pretty happy with the results. Our house shot has some rough backends after a while, so having those extra revs really got it to finish at the backend which was what I was looking for. I have 2 balls currently and there have been times where both just were not getting back no matter how straight I played it. This has definitely helped with that. Better than buying a new ball which was what I was gonna do.
Cool. Glad something worked. Just ease into it. You'll know what it feels like and can add into your game at a comfortable pace.
I would add that you need to develop your kinetic chain or leverage. Including leading with the left shoulder/opening. Using the spine, core and shoulders to release under the head.
I have been bowling for about 30 years and I have never averaged over 212. I started watching your videos and the way you throw the ball and I am averaging 235. Thank you for the videos.
Appreciate it. Glad the vids help.
Thank you! You broke it down so simply. Ive been learning how to really bowl for about 6 months now. Glad i found your video.
This is without a doubt the most helpful tip/tutorial video I've ever seen
Thanks
Dude your power and rev rate is incredible
Thanks
The bend in the arm helped so much. I'm just starting out, and I was hitting a measly 120 average. But after i started bending my arm during my wind up, my average shot up to 170 to 180 within a week! Thank you so much!
Thanks! Glad to hear....
@@hihbowling BAM. BEND ARM MORE!
Thanks for the tip on the emphasis on the ring finger.
Used this tip today by putting my fingers in the ball as you suggest. Definitely see a difference!
Thanks!
No problem!
3 years later I still come back to this video when I'm having odd issues with my arm and wrist thanks for the videos man
Probably time to do another with the upgraded gear.
This is one of the best overall instructional videos on bowling! Thank you sir!
Thanks! Let me know how it goes!
4:40 pay attention to this everyone. This is 1000% true. I noticed this long ago when I tried to aim at arrows. I now aim at dots before the arrows. Rev rate way higher.
This improved my rev rate and also tamped down my tendency to loft the ball at the arrows.
@@die7fox exactly. Your eyes play a big part of what happens to the ball. In theory, you could aim at your feet and your rev rate would be even higher, but then your accuracy would suffer. My take is that I aim at the dots before the arrows (less than 10 feet out), but I can hit that same board pretty accurately vs. arrows or even the range finder 30-40 ft down the lane. But yeah when I tried the arrows, my ball speed skyrocketed and I started missing boards a lot and even started hitting the right gutters. Now I average 211 with 400+ rpm and 17.5 mph (strike ball), 20 mph (spares).
I asked my bowling coach about this particular part of the video, where your eyes are at, compared to rev rate... He told me that this is partly true, because the shorter your eyes are on the lane (dots, foul line etc), the lower speed your ball gets, therefore more rev rate). Have you compared your ball speed while having your eyes on the foul line, compared to having your eyes on the arrows, or even further down the lane?
Never mind, just saw that you answered just what the coach told me. Having eyes on foul line = less speed.
I am in a visually impaired blind bowling league, and I have seen a rapid increase in strikes and spares within one week from the targeting and distance part of the video I
Focus on the dots and foul line Left side of the 20 dots
Glad it worked out!
So for me 2 things stand out : 1 the yo-yo wrist. I never thought anyone can yo-yo a bowling ball especially at the speed of the ball at release. Your description of the reverse yo-yo makes more sense. 2 the targeting , when you say you look at the foul line are you picking the end of a board ( let’s say the 30 board ) to hit the 15-18 board at the arrows ? TIA, new fan here. Just found this video 15 minutes ago. Thanks Ed
PS I am wanting a new ball to get from a 12 to a 14 lb ball. Right now I am throwing intense fire, but don’t know where to go for the new ball? Phase 3 maybe ? Thanks
Welcome to the community. I imagine the motion I want and draw it back to the line and that's where I look. The natural swing will get it where it needs to be. Can't go wrong with a Phase 3.
Thanks for the tips! Monacelli is the master of the bent elbow especially in his earlier days.
I was just learning and had very little rev, didn't really know how to get it off my hand properly, then I watched your "bowler breakdown" video. In the video, you said about the release, "I don't know how to explain it; it just works." Watching that video, it finally made sense.
You asked me for an update, so here it is:
In trying to emulate your release (or as closely as my 5'4 height with a 4" span can using a 15lb ball), I couldn't. But, for the first time, I realized that it wasn't because I wasn't strong enough, but because I had the wrong thumb pitch. Corrected that issue and continued to work on it, and in short order, found myself far into the rev dominant side of the spectrum. Went from everyone telling me to move right to hearing "move 10 boards left!" Thumb release is seamless, and now I'm working on getting it off of my fingers a bit smoother because I'm hitting it harder than I have the speed to match. 250-300rpm at 12.5-13mph at the deck (for the record, I was 15-16mph before all this rev slowed it down). I'm working on building speed too, but I'm small, and I have lupus and RA and issues with my right hip, so that part is slow going. I've been bowling less than a year and a half. I'll get there.
People make all sorts of astounded comments watching me bowl. To anyone reading this, whatever Jason says, it works. I'm a little scared to watch this video 🤣, as I already have to resort to plastic at times, but I'm going to watch it anyway, as I love your videos. Thanks again, Jason!
Lol. Thanks for the update!!!! Glad I was able to help, this vid should help take it a little further.
@@hihbowling Please! No more rev! 🤣
It's a great video. You mention some things that I haven't seen touched on before. I already target at the foul line, always have, except right side spares, then I use the pins. I actually started to bend my elbow less to get it off a bit cleaner. I'm also auditioning different kinds of finger inserts because I sure don't need the tacky ones anymore lol. I see you don't use them, but with the swelling from lupus and ra, vacu grips are a necessity, otherwise my fingers will actually get stuck in the ball by the end of the night. I think that getting it off of my fingers cleaner is the key though. Now, increasing my speed increases my rev as well, resulting in the same overreaction. I'm great on fresh oil. Just bowled on Autobahn with a polished tropical surge lol. But on breakdown/second shift, I need the release to be a bit cleaner.
The ring finger thing is interesting. I actually sized up in my ring because it would get sticky at the end of the night and cause accidental backup balls when trying to come more up the back. Before I got vacu grips and sized up, I used to take my ring finger out altogether, throwing with just my thumb and middle, come the end of the night when I needed less reaction. Also, I can pull harder with my ring to get more forward roll, or harder with my middle to get more rotation angle. Seems like I'm the opposite. I've never tried throwing with just my ring, but trust that I'm going to give it a shot to see what happens lol. Thanks again!
Thanks. Finger coukd be different based on how you track. Thanks for the update, keep them coming!
@@hihbowling Interesting. High track, low tilt.
OMG someone else that stares at the foul line!!!!!😂. I thought I was alone.
There's a lot of us!! Hahaha.
hihbowling ha!!!! Yea I get a lot of shit from other bowlers jokingly of course about it but at the end day I have the highest avg in the house jokes on them😂.
No doubt there are a lot of pros that do it too honestly.
The difference between what your middle vs ring finger does is something I never knew. I think I'll need to adjust some of my ring finger grips today. The rest I knew but I've forgotten about targeting distance. That's a big deal, thanks for the reminder.
Seriously, one of the best bowling videos I've seen. I watched it twice and some parts I watched several times. I love the Norm Duke comparison.
Thanks. It sounds silly but it makes a difference.
came back to this today, love it! I laughed my ass off though when it was zoomed in on the lane and the ball magically appeared from the sky 🤣
The middle finger and ring finger break down is new to me. I am definitely gonna try this out. Great video!!!
I've been a straight arm bowler for about a decade, relying on pulling up hard for revs, with the elbow bend and good follow through it feels like I'm not working as hard for revs... I'm hitting it harder!
Thats the goal!!! Glad it worked out.
Thank you so much for helping me to find a target that works for me. I thought it would be so difficult to aim at the foul line but no, it was easier to do that than aim at the arrows! My average 3 weeks into summer league was 178 but tonight I rolled 193 average, all aiming 1 foot in front of foul line for strikes and spares. I would have had a 600+ series had my thumb not swollen but I think I've got the fix for that. Even tried elbow bend at the end of last game and I can tell my revs are going up!
Thank you so much for your videos!
Nice! Glad the tips worked.
Absolutely the best explanation of step by step in such great detail! I’m a lifer to your channel!
This is so helpful compared to most vids. Thanks for going so in depth...then just when I thought it wasn't gonna get any better, you hit us with that straight fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire rap! That's whats up!!
Appreciate it! Was tired of seeing so many bogus videos...hahaha
nice to see someone else use the angle and style I use, but I always liked more finger snap in the follow through for the extra rev. fast and hard make the pins scream then the mechanics for broken pins and pins being thrown out of the back so much fun
This is by far the best video explanation I have ever seen. I was always told to be middle finger dominate or equal. Going back to ring finger!!!
Give it a try. Let me know how it feels.
@@hihbowling I did try making ring finger more dominate shot 254, 199, 186 for a 639 need to work on it some more besides in league tho.
This was one of the most important bowling videos I have ever seen. And I have watched many.
Thank you!
@@hihbowling No, thank you. Do you do virtual coaching?
Nothing like that. I try to help where I can though
Ive always been very ring finger dominant. The second i evened out, my rev rate shot up.
Also,the bent elbow gets your hand farther below the equator of the ball.its just a stronger hand position
This may sound crazy but i look about 50 feet down. Or right at the rectangle on the tenth board. It helped me alot because by looking at where the ball breaks every time i can predict when my ball is going to hook. I shot my first 300 that way.
I know a lot of people that do it. Nothing wrong with it. I don't think I can see that far anymore...hahaha
@@hihbowling haha i feel you on that man. I tried to get my 50 year old league partner to try it out he couldn't see at all haha. Im sure i will have that problem at some point too and will have to change it up
I liked the part about elbow angle. I can feel that. The ring finger thing was interesting. I’ll see how that works out.
Let me know.
You’re the man! These tips helped me maintain a 223 avg today 💪
🙌🙌 glad the tips worked!
As a stroker, I start off staring where the foul line meets the board I wanna roll straight over. As I approach, my head lifts up a little and my focus runs along that board. I normally finish my swing with my gaze half way between the foul line and the arrows so nothing crazy. I definitely still need to work on my rev rate for heavier conditions, but it's good to know I'm not crazy for not staring at the arrows.
Lol...I cant do the the arrows anymore...
This was actually more helpful than the coaching videos I've seen thank you for really explaining it.
I tried the ring finger first and it works. It actually makes my hand more relaxed. Thanks for the tip. Love your revs.
Nice Content I've been bowling since I was 14 and my uncle showed me how to bowl he was the best coach ever. Nice to see people like you giving us some tips and tricks.
Thanks. A lot of stuff has been lost over time.
Just a note, as of 2021 you must have a finger in each hole that is drilled. if you are going to modify and remove a finger, you must plug the whole for USBC sanctioned events.
I know it's been out for a while, but excellent video! Believe it or not, what worked for me, was the *under hand football spiral throw. I would hold a football, Palm up, swing my arm back then forward swing, and put spin to create a spiral on the ball! That and the foul line drill you showed is the ticket!
Thanks! Glad it worked for you.
Nice. I was able to see that yo yo effect with your release !
This video helped me more than any other video I've watched. The breakdown is never this far along, and fully formulated. Dope video! THIS, is what I've been looking for, for the longest.
Appreciate it! Keep me yodated.
My dream is to bowl like you, only other 1 hander I seen with this kinda rev rate and power is EJ Tackett.
Great video I can atest to the looking further down less revs as I usually look at pins for spares to keep it straighter. Normally I aim at the arrows but im going to try the foul line next practice.
Let me know how it works!
The realest video regarding rev rate! 💯
Thanks!
I tried jamming my ring finger in the hole and it really did increase my rev rate and made an overall difference in my game giving me more confidence in hitting the pocket and driving through. Actually this is something that I did years ago but never followed through with it so I am really happy that you brought it back to my attention. Thank you. One Tymez
Its never talked about, glad you saw the difference!
As a high rev player already, the only way I was able to get more revs is to throw 2 handed, I studied Belmos style of roll alot and used it, although I'm a southpaw, I roll it very similar to him when using two hands, still working on it, a wrist injury while one handed bowling forced me to change styles, still have to shoot spares one handed to roll it flat...
Two handed is just the shortcut. If you used the same rules you could get more. Always room to #hititharder..lol
@@hihbowling Due to my wrist injury I can't, either way my rev rate increased significantly as well as a better axis rotation. Everyone had different body mechanics on how they can perform.
Good to see a brotha bowling and giving tips I need this really bad I'm trying to improve thanks
Thanks. Hit me anytime.
Hey... Your finger info was correct. Ty
Thanks
Now is the ring finger relax or your apply grip/ pressure so you can rip through bottom of release?
Well done. I went from being a Cranker in the late 80's to becoming a power stroker/tweener after having major carpal tunnel issues from bowling. i was always looking for max revs, but had some bad advise regarding span, caused the wrist issues. I went 2 inches reverse with 1 inch lateral, driller didnt shorten the span and boom went my wrist. I had to quit and heal over 3 years. When I returned I tamed it down and learned to be more of a stroker. With that said, I have never looked at the relationship of the ring finger. I have a much better driller now and bowl with out pain. I still would like to get some revs back and your video gives me some tools to try with out fear of hurting myself. Thanks, and keep up the videos. Some slo mo of your release would be a great thing as well.
Going to do a slo no vid soon. Let me know what works.
That's what I do I track at the foul line as well I look at the exact board on the floor where I want my ball to go and I roll it on that board when looking at the foul line then when the ball is released I look up and follow through
Jason great video. You mention here that you look at the foul line 100%. I'm right handed and stand on the 15 board aiming at the 8 board. I can see using the foul line as my focus because I throw straight up the lane. I now have a new ball, Roto-Grip MVP pearl. I was told I have to get the ball out down the lane to allow it to utilize it's back end potential. I now aim at the 6 pin all the way down the lane. I want to be more consistent. How do I focus on the foul line and still get the ball angling out? I see how successful you are at it, I thought I'd ask you for your advise.
Open shoulders, point toes toward the gutter, stay behind the ball more.
@@hihbowling Thanks for the quick reply and advice! Great instructional video. You changing the game Bro! The elbow bend and the ring finger was spot on. I definitely see the difference. Got to work on the aiming at the foul line though. Keep the videos coming. I'm all in with "Hit It Harder" Can you send me the link to where I can get a t-shirt. I want to show my support. Thanks again!
Wow never thought of it this way thanks man, ima try this next practice
Totally agree about the yo-yo. Great video.
What’s up HIH! What do you think about to change the degree of rotation with your type of release please help. My rev rate is way up but I don’t know how to change my axis rotation.
Hand position at the bottom.
Hey, thanks for the information. Great advice I am new to the page new subscriber just thought I would mention that. Thanks again.
Thanks. Welcome to the community!
Great video! You explained a lot of things much better than most people do. Thanks for your time!!
Thanks!
Great video! Love how real you are, first time I think anyone has even mention the ring/middle finger relationship. I’m going to try looking/aiming at the dots...let you know how I make out then!
Thanks. Let me know!
The ring finger tip makes sense. I suffer from early hand turning at the bottom and feeling it roll off my ring finger tells me that i threw it better. I can sometimes put a bit of pressure on my index finger to keep my wrist from breaking but it needs work. I have wondered how to bend my elbow because when i try, even against the couch, i grab it and it just doesnt look right. Some people say its the bicep, some say forearm muscle. Wanted to know what your thoughts are. Thanks!
When I'm done bowling I usually feel it in the bicep. My elbow is bent so much im pretty much doing curls...hahaha
@@hihbowling id better start getting back to the gym then.. thanks for the help
YOOOOOO this is so informational. Im currently trying to switch from 2 finger style to 2 finger and thumb style and really needed this!!!
Let me know what helped!
Wonderful information and very easily laid out where most anyone is going to understand it thank you for putting this together and sharing it with us
Thanks for the view!!
Thanks for the great video. I like how you break it all down. I will try these asap. I haven't bowled I'm 4 years & I just got back into it. Looking forward to practice & summer league.
Thanks, let me know what works.
Thank you fam and I see more of our people in location bowling alley than in PBA...
i 100% believe you about what you said about the difference between 1 handed and 2 handed release.. i am a two hander (because with 1 hand i get about 250rpms xD)
but i still cant get much more than 450 rpms with two hands.. its maybe easier to get some revs with 2 hands instead of 1 but with the proper training and strength you can get more with 1 hand.
i wish i had your 600 revs with two hands.. but i think with my 16,7 mph speed my ball would be much to slow.. :D
And to look at the foul line and the dots helped me a lot to get my ball lower at release.. when i was looking at the arrows i was always kinda throwing the ball to far on the lane. ;)
So great Video!! Always a pleasure to watch you hit it hard.. :D
I’m trying to hit it harder, but I literally feel like I’m going to break my wrist or something. I must be doing something wrong. I want a more aggressive approach and would do anything to have the same style as Jason.
You teaching at all? I’d literally send in videos for you to monitor my progress 🙏🏿
Tag me in some vids on Insta or FB.
@@hihbowling I got you
First the "Sarge Easter grip" is a fairly uncommon grip, Mainly it's used to alleviate pain in the ring finger. One of the most well known Pro's that used is Mike Fagan, He went to it do to injuring his ring finger and because of years of abuse to his hand.
One of the common misconceptions about the Sarge Easter grip is that it lowers revs (and yes some bowler's try this grip to try and lower their revs.), But in reality it only lowers your rev rate initially when you first start using it. Once you get use to the grip your rev rate will go right back where it was and has nothing to do with "Hitting" on the ball this has been well known for years.
As for the drill it's called the "Foul Line drill" or "Release drill" and is a excellent well known drill. It teaches good balance and finish and hand position. Search for Joe Slowinski's foul line drill for more information. (Note: It doesn't involve grabbing or hitting the ball.)
As for the terms "Hit", "Hitting" In the video he doesn't appear to be doing what is considered or defined as "Hitting", "Hitting Up" or "Lifting" the ball. So IMO it's not being used properly here and giving a wrong impression.
"Hitting" (aka: Lifting- Which is slightly lofting the ball and hitting the ball on the up stroke at the release. Basically a late release.) on a ball that was from back during the rubber and plastic ball era (and early urethane) when they were having to make the balls hook.
Lift fell out of favor when resin balls appeared, because it would create erratic reaction or hook too early with the ball going through the nose or blowing corner pins. Resin balls didn't need the extra "help" from putting Hit/lift on the ball to make them hook.
"Grabbing" is basically "Hitting up" a little extra hard with lift on the ball at the bottom of the swing, It's a form of muscling the ball (There is also grabbing at the top of the backswing which is just as bad.).
While targeting at the foul line might compensate for the grabbing a little, Most peoples accuracy will suffer. A small miss at the foul line is amplified greatly down the lane. A small miss targeting the arrows won't be as bad, Targeting the breakpoint your accuracy at the arrows will look fantastic.
Targeting down the lane doesn't automatically make you rev rate suffer, A poor release is what does that. Look at the Pro's they are not targeting the foul line and they have plenty of rev's.
Sarge Easter your ring finger will have a semi or conventional grip. That will for sure decrease rev rate. When I used inserts up until 2 years ago I jammed my fingers in the ball causing me to pretty much be a semi finger tip grip. Ive always done that. Once I went to no grips and actually used fingertip correctly my rev rate went up.
This vid was above increasing rev rate, not overall hook. While I know exactly what you're saying about lift, grabbing, hitting, the terminology has changed over the years amd was simply expressing it how many would understand.
As far as the targeting goes I dont know where everyone looks but Wes Malott moves his target while he walking to go from break point to foul line. Liz Johnson (greatest female ever) looks at the foul line.....
hihbowling A true Sarge Easter grip uses a conventional full finger grip for the ring finger. You cant base how the sarge easter affects revs on the fact that you used a fingertip grip incorrectly and that your revs went up when you used a fingertip it correctly. The span would been too long for a semi and if you shoved your fingers through a set of properly sized inserts, they would have been too tight for you to cleanly release the ball and of course you had low revs.
I understand this video was about revs, lift back in the day was about increasing revs (to increase overall hook). Yes terminology has changed, thats why you have to be careful about applying old terms to newer methods. Lift, hit, grab are terms relate to things your not supposed to do and using them in the wrong manner can cause problems if a bowler seeks more advanced coaching.
As for targeting a lot is personal preference and what works for you, But most bowlers are not Malot or Johnson and most pros dont target the foul line.
Thanks for posting the video.
I don't know if you'll see this comment since this video is over a year old, but this was an amazing breakdown and was very easy to understand. My problem is that at my release, my wrist tends to break and is very weak and I don't know how to stop it from happening. Please help me man.
Thanks for watching. Practice at the line with a cupped release or even a brace temporarily until the strength gets there.
Looking closer on the lane helps. Good tutorial. Thanks
Thanks for the view!
Thanks for trying to help bowlers.
Will definitely try moving my pinky around. But it my case would be a little difficult. 2 finger bowler. I am more Tom Daughtery style the Jason Belmonte. Also not much I can try on my elbow. Great video though for sure. Also I am curious on trying out my ring finger. Putting it in all the way. Then let my middle finger float in the hole. Great video buddy. Just remember "HIH"
Thanks! Missing it at the bottom isn't even an option anymore since I started doing that.
Ring finger thing brought my average up in one night THANK YOU not sure when you say your thumb points at the gutter how far down lane thanks again KING!!!
Congrats....how I think of it to keep my swing opened up. How the ball gets right.
Another awesome video Jason! Can’t get enough of these types of videos. Beats and bowling are two of my favourite things so your channel is golden 😎
Question... What about your drill spec with this type of release? Any chance you could post your pitches? Also do you think not using grips helps increase Rev rate?
Thanks 🙏
Helped with my consistency over rev rate. 1/8" away...3/16" lateral on fingers. 1/8" away 1/8" right on thumb.
@@hihbowling Thanks for the quick reply Jason... Think I’m gonna drill a few test balls with similar pitches and see how they feel.
great and informative video, also those bars at the end go hard, great rapper
Thanks.
One of the biggest tips people miss out is really using that ring finger to hit it harder. I guess considering the pinky tuck allows faster hands they'd think the ring finger matters less than the middle finger, but that's simply not true
Hello. I just watched your video. I am a older bowler from the rubber era.The hardest motion for me is the YoYo. However you do not use the YoYo and keep your wrist firm, Interesting! OK question at the release point you also mentioned the ring finger opposed to the middle finger, again never heard of that either. Exactly what do I concentrate on at the release point the of the wrist and ring finger as I have never done anything like that before. I was a classic power stroker in the mold of Jonny P. Anthony Pepe remarked that I thrown the ball similar being left handed. Thank you. Tony
Firm wrist, stay behind the ball, lift up.
What you do is just very impressive.......thank you for sharing
Hi, great vid thankx to share! Does the bending of the elbow happening at the top of the back swing, like first move of the throwing motion at the top? Can you please make a vid to explain it? Thankx bro!
Bowlers this is a very detailed and thorough video in which will definitely allow you to get your rev rate up.JEu as usual fire work bro.I believe the NORM DUKE vid was spot on and allows people to see that a guy thats known for his straight game and straight elbow does bend his elbow when hooking the ball.Check all other vids bowlers and i bet that this video shows tons of hidden gems that were not in others.Practice this and im sure you will learn to HIT IT HARDER... #ALLFADES #HITITHARDER #BETHELOGO
Yessir. That hood logic....hahaha
@@hihbowling FACTS!!! that hood DIY kit is in full effect.
Aloha from Hawaii, u have awesome rev rate & power brother, imo, a high rev rate power bowler like yourself & Tj Tacket is much more admired, envied & respected than bowling thumbless or 2 hand style, both of these styles instantly gives any level of bowler some sort of striking power without having to use a wrist support. The technique of clearing the thumb properly is maybe the most valuable skill in bowling & the one's that can master this skill, become bowling God's to everyone of us that just can't get that kind of speed & proper rotation, props to you sir for sharing🤙
Thank you! More vids on the way.
I NEVER look at foul line..I look at arrows/down lane..going to lanes tomorrow to try this
Let me know if it works. It'll take some time but you'll feel the difference.
hihbowling do you know where most pros look?
I don't. I know Liz Johnson looks at the line.
hihbowling I've always looked at the arrows, but I bowl 2 handed and during my swing I dip my head a bit and lose my sight on the arrows, and just end up kinda throwing it the general direction I want it. I think the dots or line may be a better Target for me. When you look at the line, is it your feet your looking to hit a certain spot, or the ball. Becasuse the ball normally gets realesed at or a bit over the line
EVERYTHING you said makes 100% sense! Perfect lesson video guy!!! I will favorite this one! Great job.
Appreciate it!
Like the video, informative. Question, you say you are looking at the foul line, but when you throw the ball it lands1-1.5 ft away, how can you be looking at the foul line and throw(loft) the ball that far ahead of the foul line. I would think if you are looking at the foul line the ball should land on the foul line.
Foul line is for targeting. I have my own system of where to look to get the ball where I want it to go (left to right).
I've been asked to do a slow motion video so that's next, but I release the ball on the start of the upswing so it's going to go further out on the lane.
@@hihbowling Thanks, was not even expecting a reply, just thought I would ask. But your reply is my question. lets say it's the 20 board at the foul line, but when I get there it's now the 17 board to get the ball to go right, but I have lost focus doing this. So your own system of targeting is what I am asking about. Thanks again.
@@rolandograham493 I respond to every comment. It's difficult to explain and is a bit odd, but with my swing I look where I want to hit at my breakpoint at the foul line, add 20 boards and that's where I stand with my feet.
i’m gonna have to try looking at the foul line 1000%
1000% is that extra commitment! Hahaha
@@hihbowling hi, how do I know where the ball is going if I look at the foul line
@@theyhchuan it's all feel. Depending on where you look you're not going to be able to see your ball the whole length of the lane.
I know if I look at a spot, my swing will get the ball where I want it to be. Malott starts far then looks at line at release, its all imaginary angles.
I like your information
Thanks!
Jason, do you have a brother that's too? I think I bowled league in L.A. with you two about 30 years ago. Could it have been Hollywood Star?
Yes I have a brother and it had to be Hollywood Star. Closer to 20 years ago. Do you remember Keith??
@hihbowling can you produce a up close video on how you release the ball out of your hand???
Yes that's coming.
Sweet tips...can't wait to try out
Let me know if they work.
Wow! Great video!
Thanks!
One question for you... you mentioned bending the thumb but you didn't really talk about that as far as helping your rev rate...can you explain please thanks, Jim
I love watchin that Ruthless spin up then turn on a dime! I think I may even pick one up over the Phase 3! Your thoughts?
I've thrown it twice after the review. I want to get back into it. P3 is too perfect for me though.
Yooooo this is exactly how taught myself how to bowl💯💯
When you say ring finger nice and tight… do you mean deeper? Thanks. Excited to try this at practice this week.
Love you track man! Is it downloadable from anywhere?! Thanks for the videos!
Thanks. If it's the song there's a link in the description on the newer videos, instrumentals are available for channel members.
I like this video very much! I like that you go in depth unlike other videos!!!
Appreciate it.
If you ever come out to jersey lmk. Would love to get some coaching in person
Will do.
Hitting it harder🔥😶🌫️
💪🏿💪🏿
I know this videos two years old now at this point but one thing, I can never seem to get my fingers below the equator of the ball unless I REALLY excerpt the muscles in my arm in a way that doesn't seem sustainable at least while doing drills. I wonder if it's because I don't bend my elbow basically at all I wonder if that would help at all?
Great vid because it actually helped me dramatically you covered more steps than usual vids do .Thanks bruh👍🏾
Appreciate it!
