The "Emotional Damage" from Art of Brooklyn killed me xD
I had the chickenwing problem for most of the time since I started playing and slowly but surely get my elbow to the inside. It‘s hard work, but it pays off!
Ps: constant filming helps a lot.
Can’t lie I used to hate this accent but man you’re the exception love the channel you’re making a better bowler. Started bowling 4 months ago average steadily going up just bowled my new PR 212 this past Sunday!
This was helpful to me. I’ve been thinking about turning my hand clockwise where I should be thinking about my elbow being rotated clockwise in backswing.
Succinct simple reminder, with practice drills added! Thanks 😊!
The title of this video made me feel like it was targeting me lol
This video need to be play more and more lot of league bowlers chicken wing the ball great video Author 👍
im guilty of the chicken wing!!!
my pro shop operator filmed me bowling and it looks IDENTICAL to the examples you just showed.
time for the no step drill.
"Emotional Damage!"😂 A Macho Man "Oh yeah!" 🤣 AND a great bowling lesson!!
Exactly the video I needed. Thank you coach!
Lol I always thought chicken winging the ball was when you threw with your elbow kind of bent a lil bit 😄🍗💪
That has...something to do with it. Keeping the elbow bent is fine as long as it remains on the inside. In fact, some of the best bowlers in the world throw it with their elbow almost completely bent, which is a goal of mine. Once I master that, I'll be matched up properly.
Never had a lesson,learned everything from you tube xd. But if you were closer I would definitely get a few from you...
The macho man transition 👌
Great tip Arthur, keep'em coming.
This is maybe your best tip so far, I tried this and my ball rotation was outstanding and it was easier to hit my targets, thanks for sharing your knowledge of bowling!
I’ve been “chickenwinging” all my 30 years of bowling. I’m consistent and carry a 214 average. Anything can work if you do it enough.
Spin to win! lol
Seriously, it isn't too difficult to run a 210+ average if the place you bowl at has a nice scorable house shot. I mean I've been a speed dominant spin biscuit more of my 20+ years in this sport and can usually average 200+ anywhere I go if I can cover my spares. But that doesn't make ANYONE competitive. Even those who average 230+ will tell you that.
@@SirJoelsuf1 your comment makes no sense. A 230+ bowler isn’t competitive? 😂
@@rickdavis8410 No. I've seen 230+ average bowlers go to regional tournaments and other scratch sweepers and struggle to average 180. And yet I've seen bowlers average only 205 or so get to semifinals in match play.
League averages have NEVER been relevant and anyone who makes REAL money at this sport WILL tell you that.
@@SirJoelsuf1 stop being ridiculous. Anything 200+ is competitive
@@SirJoelsuf1 just shut up.
I'm a 202 average; and I still find that I chicken wing sometimes. Mostly it's from not trusting that my shot will recover off the spot or when I'm struggling with 10 pin spares. If I do that on my league nights; I go back to the alley the next day and work my mechanics out
I used to chicken wing it so bad that my palm would be towards the pins on the release lol. Think my axis rotation was at least 140 degrees or so haha. Spin biscuit on steroids. Isn't much better now, it's still at 90 or 100 even, and that's WITH my elbow in...most of the time :(
Was always afraid to get forward roll cuz I thought my ball would hit flat. But doing the no step and 1 step drill proved me otherwise. I'm trying to get my tilt at about 30 or 40 degrees.
Love The Macho Man reference
Your videos have been very helpful as I learn! What helps me also, is to keep my palm facing forward and my thumb pointed out away from me, leaving my fingers to the inside as I roll the ball off my hand. Kind of twisting my wrist clockwise as it gets to the bottom of my swing. Is this correct thinking?
Yes if you are a lefty!
Hi. I'm a beginner who has ordered a reactive ball but in the meantime is just hacking away at house balls. I can hook the ball thumb out, but with the thumb in I feel a lot of torque on my middle finger, a lateral force which seems to be occurring during outward rotation of the hand. It feels quite unnatural. Is this because my fingers are too far in, or is there another reason? Thanks.
you will find a big difference when yoi get a proper fitting bowlong ball....welcome to the great sport of bowling
@@ArtOfBowling Thanks. I hope you're right. It's proving to be a bit harder than all you UA-camrs make it look!
I'm sure I'm a chicken wing swinger but my wrist won't allow me to pull the ball all the way back.. it amazing to see them statue of liberty bowlers.. I have no clue how anyone can hold onto a ball without letting loose lol
This video is great🤩
Art can you explain the differences between a 2in vs 4in pin and the differences in top weight. In reference when buying a new bowling ball?
we are going to cover this in a upcoming video
Hi Author, do you have any videos on releasing the ball and also shuffling my foot? That is my main problem is shuffling my foot.
I have this problem. Trouble keeping the elbow and wrist positioned correctly. Mine usually gets too far to the outside, I think because it feels more natural.
No step drill, One step drill, and trying throwing it straight as you can. See if that can help
@@ArtOfBowling Thank you, and yessir! I'm on it.
@@ArtOfBowling i tried this a few weeks ago and after that session, and ever since, I've had intermittent wrist issues. Im assuming i need to continue to strengthen those specific target areas, but any other insight?
@@EarlUgalde use you index finger to keep the wrist firm, relax it when the elbow passes the hip to unload the wrist
So my question is this; I have one of those elbows that deflects my arm to the outside. So if I let my arm hang straight down with the crease of my elbow facing straight in front of me, my hand is several...maybe even 6 or so...inches away from my body. It's nearly impossible for me to stay behind the ball without the and get the ball close to my ankle. How do you fight this?
@Sean Beck • I suggest that you explore videos on, Arm swings, and ball positions in stance. You may need have the ball directly in front of your right leg with your head over the ball, then move the ball slightly left (if right handed)on the 1st or 2nd step(4 or 5 step delivery) It may feel as if the ball the ball is bumping out, but if the focus is on keeping the elbow inside throughout the swing, it should fall back in line. Study videos on the topic and video yourself before and after during the process. Explore how your body works and what works for you. Perfection is personal. It's different for everyone. Good luck.
Do the no step drill that Art mentions every other video for an ENTIRE three game set. We're talking three games straight of it. Simply put, you need to get your hips out of the way in your approach. This is what the modern bowling approach has demanded for decades. Keeping everything square has NEVER been effective and there have been dozens of studies on this since the 1990s I believe.
I used to throw it exactly like back in the 70s-80s and had almost the exact same issue you had. I straight up COULDN'T get the ball close to my ankle because I was so square. Solution? Needed to get my left arm in front of me, forcing my hips and a$s to get to the left (and it STILL isn't left enough since implementing it in 2014).
Once you get your hips and a$s to the left everything else will fall in place.
@@SirJoelsuf1 I've done the no step drill many many times. Usually at least a games worth. Without a specific idea or target motion with my arm, I don't think that gets me what I need.
@@Monk-Amani. do you have any search suggestions? I'm not sure what to look for.
Sean video yourself when you are doing it keep you hand behind the ball dont try to hook it
You probably think this song is about you, don’t you don’t you?
I'm having a hard time sweeping my leg to the side when releasing the ball. Can you help
start at the line using the no step drill getting your body used to finishing in that position...then graduate to the one step drill then the two step drill...onto four steps...getting our body to do something new is a challange but can be done
The best way to get a straight swing is to shoot your ten pins up 5 *( 1st arrow )*
i a newbie, so i can't quite see or understand what you mean by the chicken wing. they look the same to me!
Chicken wing is elbow pointing to sides instead of behind you
@@BassRacerx ohh, now i get it. thank you. i need to watch the demo videos at a bit slower speed to catch the difference at first.
my another big problem
Flying elbow oooohhh yea
Emotional Damage 🤣
If you would stop trying to break into Comedy Central and just be the pro you seem to be, I’d give you 5 stars.
Could you critique my bowling please. I'd really love your input. I have a lot of examples on my page!
I see no difference between the two swings. The “chicken wing” swing looks no different then the swing you call correct.
The difference is in the timing - ideally you want to keep your hand inside until the last possible second, and then get around the ball at the bottom of the swing.
I have to admit- I didn’t think the bowler who was supposedly exhibiting model form had his elbow in that much. But what do I know ?
