    You just proved that a high rev rate is not needed to strike consistently and shoot a respectable score. I think you have a backup future Nick.

    This is how I throw all time. I was a straight/ back up bowler that tried so many time to throw a normal hook and couldn't get it. But in November 2023, I had my ball drill finger tip for backup. My average went from a 130 to a 160 in the summer league. I have shoot more 200s with my high being 246 then I ever have. So happy you made this video.

    That's the funniest bowling video I've ever seen. When you started I was like what do I want to watch this for but then I started watching it and I was cracking up. Basically, the balls you through with a lot of speed are the ones that blew the pins off the back of the deck. Not bad.

    Had NO idea whether or not you would be able to score with such a weak shot. But you did real well, Nick. I'd be shooting 70-80 with attempting a backup shot for the entire game
    and that's only if I didn't hurt myself trying this. Yeah, I'd like to see a few videos on you competing with another bowler, both throwing backup balls. Normally, I'm around 195 with
    an occasional adventure into the mid-600s. Have even had a few 700+ series recently. But I am nowhere near you as a bowler. But then, maybe at age 75 I don't have to be. lol

    I tried learning how to throw an effective back-up ball for those times in 'C' Squad PBA Regionals where the right side was just plain burned out, but the lefties were still scoring big. But I could never get a good hook or a consistent one. (Of course, this was more than 25 years ago where even the reactive balls of the time were nowhere near what they deliver today).

      @JennieMcKinley I've been trying this lately...I use an old urethane (Brunswick Headhunter) and I don't go past middle board. Works decent when I can ride the left gutter, but sometimes that ball hooks. I practice to try to keep it from either falling into the gutter, or just missing the 7. This would then probably be a speed issue, I guess..thanks.

    What’s the secret to releasing the ball to back it up? I’m a right handed bowler and miss the 10 pin way too often. I thought if I could throw a backup ball towards it I might improve my stats on it. One thing I’m afraid of though is ruining my right handed release.
