I just bowled my best series ever last night (661) thanks to your tips. Keep up the good work.
good job dude!
I love that hit the back of your knee/leg idea since I have trouble getting the ball under my head at the bottom of the swing. But I think body tilt makes a big difference. And I see Brad's body tilt when looking at his shoulders and hips. His right side dips downward. That would be a good thing to cover following this video.
This was one of the best videos you guys ever made period. Way to add some much needed value to everyone’s game! Thanks!
glad to see videos that are not 1/2/3 years old on youtube. like seeing more 2/3 weeks or sooner videos. always enjoy your lessons. thank you
You guys are awesome! Y'all know just what we need!
Guys, I think possibly your most impactful video yet ! And I literally messaged you about this yesterday on another video, so very timely.
Looking forward to trying these tips out as the chicken wing has become part of my anatomy lol. Thanks again !
Wow! You guys have some great instructional content but this has been my favorite thus far. Really helpful pointers we can so easily forget. I tend to focus on what's going on in front of me and often the error was created behind me! Thanks guys & Merry Christmas🙂
Had a great session practicing today-- and it's thanks to this video! I always had issues with the ball getting away from my body even though I felt like I tried everything to keep my elbow inside. I didn't know it was as simple as keeping my armpit closed. I focused on splitting the ball and keeping that imaginary towel crimped and I instantly felt more power behind the ball while exerting less effort to do so. Once I got used to the motion, I was able to more consistently hit my target on the lane. Even in practice, on one lane, I average around 160. I bowled about 6 games today and averaged 210. I can't thank you guys enough for this one. Keep up the great work!
I've been repeating "ELBOW IN" like a mantra for the past several weeks, and it's working. It's been one of the more frustrating pieces of my game. I've always had a tendency to let my elbow flare outward on my downswing. Last week in league, I focused very hard on that and keeping my hand to the inside of the ball. Shot a 257 scratch in game 3 of my series with a nice 7-bagger to start. Great advice!
Awesome video. This is the best video I’ve seen on keeping your elbow in and staying inside of the ball. Great job!
I’ve watched a lot of videos of the release and different types and all that and finally have figured it out some, but that forearm splitting the ball tip was one I’d never heard before and wow is it a game changer!
Also I’d like to add from a physical standpoint it’s not healthy on your elbow joint putting that type of twisting force on it away from the body while it’s being weighed down!
Im a chicken wing master. This is much needed
Ham burger Grigri 🔥🔥💔😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗
I am a master of eating the chicken wings 🙂
❤️ chicken wings 😅
Same
I use to spin to win. Chicken winged so much. It was me forcing the ball onto the lane rather than relying on the arm swing. Easier said than done.
One of your best videos of all time.
I love the way you guys simplify the instruction Videos. The tips are so easy to follow. Keep making those great Videos.
Best bowling tips / channel on UA-cam period. Congrats guys been with you since the very beginning back when Kyle was throwing Brunswick equipment and Brads favorite ball was the Idol! You guys bring actual REAL value to my bowling game with content that nobody else will convey. So a big thank you to the both of you and continue to be the best in the sport gents. Much love, Dj Sully
I've been getting back into bowling after not going for several years & your videos have been super helpful. incredibly detailed & easy to follow. appreciate it!
I've been paying attention to my ring finger at the release point and directing it at my target which is usually between the dots and the arrows. I also pay attention to my index finger particularly at the start and all the way to the top of the swing. These two things have helped me to stay behind the ball throughout the swing. One other key thing is I use white bowling tape to make each ball feel good and placed in such a way to keep me from grabbing at the ball during the swing. It seems that the tip of my thumb pad wants to feel something during the entire swing. As long as I can keep my thumb straight the release is easy and fast for a clean roll. Thanks for all your tips guys...
Love these instructional videos Gents. Please keep them coming!
Omg guys, thank you. This is exactly what I do. Chicken wing. Being older, sometimes my wrist hurts me when I’m staying inside the ball and I will subconsciously let my elbow stay outside. Daniel showed me this on video also. Well, I’m still working at it. It’s a process of course. Thanks guys
Look into your grip. If you're an older bowler and haven't updated it, you might have too long of a span and incorrect finger/thumb pitches. That grip worked in the 80s and 90s, but it's not going to work today, especially trying to stay inside the ball.
I was JUST having this issue recently! Thanks for elaborating on “feels”, by the way, those are important.
More videos like this please! Shot 240 average last week in league for 4 games after watching some of your tips videos
I watched the same video and rolled a “159”…🫣
You guys are awesome. You're living my dream, keep up the good work!
Great video and tips! Wow! These focal points for guidance drills is just what I was looking for. 👍
You guys are the best. Thank you Brad and Kyle. You give back so much
Thank you so much! New to bowling (new to trying to learn how that is). Put these drills into use for the first time today and bowled a PR of 188. 4 game avg was 146. Two days ago I was struggling to get low 100's.
Perfect timing, I was just talking to someone last night about my approach and release. Thanks guys!
This video is what I have been waiting for (and didn't know it). I've watched hundreds of videos to improve my game, and this one has been the best in terms of clarity and usable mental images. Definitely a game changer.
This video was right on time for me! Much appreciated guys!
This is what ive been looking for, thanks guys. will be re watching this one again and again.
Thank you for more great tips, as always. Looking forward to seeing you guys in 2023 ❤
Awesome video. I have been trying to be more behind the ball and just couldn't figure it out. Going to try these tips next practice session.
one of the best instructional videos on this topic. thank you guys..
Good info guys. This is something I’m trying to work on, my timing has been sporadic. I’ve been a push away guy, going to work on that drop.
Great content, I cannot wait to try it.
Very helpful. Looking forward to bowling this afternoon and trying this.
Excellent video B&K….best one I’ve ever seen on this subject….top marks!!
THANK YOU. This is the best tip no one talk about much.. I will practices with it. Best of luck you guy on the tour next year.
Thank you. Super helpful. Gonna give this a try in my drills
This video helps a lot. Ive been in a slump lately and I realized I come around the ball and can not create good revs. I also am notorious for drifting towards my eye target
This was really helpful and very clear. Thanks!
One of the biggest tips I’ve ever got and what elevated my game was the “crossover step” that opens up the swing path. Before, I was ALWAYS PULLING THE BALL LEFT (Muscling).
This video just helped me solve my release issue. Thanks
I'll be shadowing the hold week end as I have a tournament Monday
Man I needed this video, thanks!
Great tips, this is an excellent way for me to get that feel back when I lose it . Thanks !
Great post . thank you
Thanks for the wisdom! Well explained. Thanks
this may be one of the most important videos, but the others are great. You guys are wonderful
Appreciate this video. Love the insight
LU alum here - part of the 05 team. Forever enshrined on Lane 1 at St Chucks! So rad to see they put banners up. Thats awesome. Great vid.
Thanks for this tip. It is the fine detail between a good shot and a bad one.
worked on this drill today, have to say I must have been really coming around the ball with the elbow. This video really helped alot, thanks guys! Now to work on the release point with this.
Awesome video a bunch of good info for all bowlers... Im definitely looking into the memberships
We would love to have you!
Thanks this was very informative and helpful 👍
I'm a left handed bowlers amd this is one thing I always struggle with I don't high Rev rate and my angels are very small I'd love to be able to create a higher Rev rate with more angels but again I struggle with this. I'll keep working on it and hope it helps. Love the content it's helped me become a better bowler. Thanks guys
Cool tech bowling video brad and Kyle
Love the right knee idea I have habit of trying to help the ball hook by going around it great tips im going to try this out today ty
Thanks for sharing
Best tip I’ve heard to date. Try to hit the back of leg. Really works‼️
This couldn’t come at a better time! I’ll be heading out to practice this later this week, before next league night!!!
Ehh this is the one B&K video I don't have a joke comment for. I've been coming around the top of the ball pretty much my whole life so I'm glad they made a nice tutorial on this.
This is awesome. My accuracy has been all over the map. I think I need to keep the elbow connected throughout.
Great tip! I have been working on this aspect of my bowling for a while. I'm a wheelchair right-handed bowler and find that as soon as I feel my elbow pointing toward the right wall, I miss my mark left and my ball always misses to the left of the head pin on the first ball.
I do this even more on my spare ball shots! I feel like I'm blocking the ball from going in the gutter on the 10 pin shot . Or I feel like I need to help the ball get to the 7 pin even though I know that I have a better chance when I keep my elbow in on both shots.
Also, being in a wheelchair my body is already 3 or 4 inches away from the outside of the wheel. This makes it even harder to keep my elbow in the proper position.
Thank You!
Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
Elbow in and hitting the thigh is every helpful.
This is one your best tips yet, you two should go into the coaching Hall of Fame for this tip, I needed this like 20 years ago, thanks for all you do and good luck on the PBA next year.
I'll always thought to myself after a great shot that it "felt" just right and that bowling was all about "feel".Now thanks to you guys, I now know some of the main things that are supposed to feel "right". I also focus on the ball feeling "right" off the fingers.
This is something JR Raymond has also discussed and I think it has helped me regain some consistency. Nice breakdown!
Very timely! I think this is the primary problem I have with my game. I think it also limits your ability to throw higher speeds comfortably. I have been trying to get more ball speed this year and I think focusing on this aspect will likely help me more than anything else. To keep the elbow close you probably need a decent crossover step (1st step on 4 step, 2nd on 5).
To have natural speed it is syncing the footwork and swing. Hopefully these guys with cover it one day. I go to Brad’s coach Mike Jasnau and it took me 3 lessons from him to finally have it click of where the ball is suppose to be at certain parts of my steps. If you have a chance to see Mike Jasnau it is highly recommend.
Try moving back on approach,it helps ball speed and works .
This is exactly my problem finally I found something. This video impacted me the most out of any video ,this one is very helpful .People said I was chicken winging.. when I record myself I seen it and I didn't like it. It's a habit that's very hard to break. This is more in-depth what I needed Thank you.
I work on getting my thumb out upon release. That helps me to keep my elbow in and the fingers up the back. Great tip guys!
Thumb should be out first. Roll it off your fingers. Up the back and lift.
I’ve been bowing for 8 months and with you guys giving out these tips I bowled my first 278 game.
Thx u for this one awesome content 👏
love the channel
I must already be doing these drills perfectly. My ball doesn’t come back to the pocket and I shoot a lot of 6’s and missed spares just like Brad did in this video!
Good video guys. I notice when I get outside of the ball like you talk about it tends to skid too far before hooking and I end up hitting the gray boards sometimes
Correct. More axis rotation create a later sharper reaction which sometimes comes too late.
Great video
2:20 Brad perfectly describes my natural release that I had to get coached out of. Nothing was working until I was told to change where I was holding the ball to start, which got rid of my behind the back motion, and then also focusing on not allowing my elbow to rotate around whatsoever. My roll immediately improved.
i bowled my whole life not having any idea i had a chicken wing in my swing.. had plenty of success bowling that way but i wanted to get rid of the chicken wing and i spent half of the summer working on fixing my chicken wing swing and it was the hardest weirdest most frustrating thing to overcome but i stayed committed to it and finally half way threw this current season its really starting to feel natural im more accurate im staying up the back of the ball so i can control all my equipment now i use to have issues with hockey stick ball
reaction im not having that at all anymore unless the ball just doesn’t match the pattern my scores werent what inwanted at the start of the season but since thanksgiving ive thrown really well my average is climbing and im getting the comsiatency down. but after bowling 20 years with a chicken wing that was a battle to get my body and mind use to keeping that elbow in and half more towards the inside of the ball. my biggest issue now is that i struggle to get around the ball now when i want to create more axis rotation
Just bowled there for a college tournament. Approaches are slick
Yooooo two full games of no step and one steps drills using the right knee thing TY!!! now if I can burn this in my brain 🧠 thanks again.
Appreciate ya
I was born in 84 so I very much modeled my game after Pete Weber a lot I admired the high back swing and I have a big tendency to get more around the ball like he did as well. I have been successful with it but you are probably right on it limiting what I can and can't do so I've been really working on hand and wrist positions to practice on rolling up the back of the ball more on harder conditions when I need more control. So to speak I Channel my inner Chris Barnes LOL
Yeah Weber was a spin biscuit. But Barnes has way too much forward roll. Think Weber has his hand position at 80 some degrees while Barnes has his maybe at 5 degrees. The sweet spot is about 15-20, like what Brad has in this. I'm currently rolling it with my hand position at about 60-70 degrees.
These videos help me to keep my arm straight,even give me I didn't even know thanks
I never thought I was a high Rev player but growing up my dad was a straight player so he didn't have very aggressive balls because he did need them . When out on my own and the balls with not much hook I went a got professional lessons and the guy told me after the first game that I had the wrong ball for me and he gave me one of his balls to try and it was incredible. And found out I naturally get around the ball and have high Rev naturally. Since then I've upgraded all my balls and now I went from like a 185 avg to 2 leagues in a row having a 230 average
I"m a senior bowler (62), that's been out of bowling for 3+ years. Getting back into the sport, but feeling like I'm starting over after long layoff. Do you have any suggestions or videos that can help me begin to work to get back into form? Really enjoying the videos. Thx
Mines swing is between the end and cut of the ball but as I release I’m just way inside and I just come all around the ball
Is it possible to get a feel video like this about keeping your hand more behind the ball and fingers more below the equator of the ball. I can get it during the no step drills but after that I gravitate back to a little more on top than I want.
great information, I battle the Chicken wing often :-( but I'm getting there . . . thanks
guys just seen this video and I do struggle with the figure 8 arm swing and the elbow tuck. I will try this elbow drill but any tips to beat this figure 8 arm swing? I come behind my back badly. I been doing it for so long i dont feel it.
I learned that I have pushed the ball out too far during the first step of a 4 step approach. Thx for these videos.
How about tips for a 2 handed bowler, on how to square their shoulders to the foul line on their delivery
I am working on that.
Dear Brad/Kyle. i am from South Africa and a great enthusiast of Tenpin Bowling. I am our League President. If it wasn't for your videos , I would have still struggling to get to a 200 average. My stupid question is "If you would just release the ball, the ball will roll over the thumb. What do you do at the last moment before release, TO LET THE BALL NOT ROLL OVER THE THUMB?"
The ball doesn’t really roll on the thumb, when your ball flares and oil gets on the lane, you will see an oil track. That is your track. There high roller full roller, Extera. When you get a new bowling ball, if your serious about bowling, you NEED to get your PAP measured. You have to ask the ball driller to measure it. What it is is the way your ball rolls off your hand. Everyone throws it differently and when they measure your PAP, they can choose the right layout for you. What you asked about what you do right before you release the ball, what the pros do, is they go inside like Kyle said, the bend the elbow, then you you move you make this flicking motion with your wrist. But just know something. I know a lot about bowling, I work in a pro shop, you don’t need to do what the pros do. The more you obsess over it, the worst it is. That is what many pro bowlers know, and if they don’t, then they just don’t know the truth. When I first started bowling, I loved watching the pros have a high backswing. But my coach explained to me, you can’t force it, you have to let it happen. You DO NOT want to force the ball up. It causes problems. So I used to have a low backswing. Over the years, I just let it happen and it got way above my head. Now, you don’t have to have good form to get 300s. You are working towards it, but i see it all the time, I’m on instagram when Storm and roto grip, post the last shot of someone’s 300, they look like a beginner bowler. To get 300s , or even a high score, you need to think of absolutely NOTHING when you are bowling serious. In practice, you can think ok, keep elbow in, things like that. If you can focus and literally think of nothing when you are bowling, you will get higher scores. When you keep looking at your score, you will get lower scores. Scores to not matter at all to me, when i am practicing. Practice is so you can focus on your form so you can get higher score in tournaments. I don’t care if you get a 90 when you are bowling, you need to NOT CARE, once you do that, you will be a better bowler. You need to be careful watching certain people on UA-cam or listening to people who don’t know anything, brad and Kyle is good, Darren tang, Daria pajak, packy hanrahan., people you should not watch even though they may be entertaining, is- 220 average bowler, he is not good, trust me, just because he averages 220 doesn’t mean he know anything about bowling. Also Luis napoles, he is not good, he hasn’t even won a title. Now it doesn’t matter how many 300s you’ve gotten , what matters is you know how to bowl and know how to have a good mindset and mental game. Thank you, hope this helps, good luck!
Ps: if you want to get better, don’t try yourself, you will just get bad habits. You need to find a coach. Now the coach has to be a pro bowler, and they cannot be on old person. Old people are stuck in the past when everything was different. Simply, if you ask the pro shop manager if they do lessons, they have to be young, and they have to actually be a pro, or you are not going to ever be a serious bowler.
True, bowling has to happen naturally. Don’t obsess over someone else’s game, but obviously can give it a try. I, myself find me stuck with a coach that’s old bowling wise. Doesn’t really have a perspective and/or new ideas on modern bowling release wise, form wise, etc. It’s really frustating, but sometimes you just gotta watch these helpful videos to see what you can get and do. I’m from the Dominican Republic which is a small island relatively and we only have 1 main bowling alley and there’s a team but realistically no local coaches, just coaches who come from other countries.
I have a problem with opening up my angle left to right and will sometimes throwing it in the gutter, no sure if it because of the elbow not being tucked in would love to see a video of some causes of this or to prevent this from happening
@Brad and @Kyle what if you bowl on your left side what happens when you bowl on the left side ?
Hey Brad and Kyle,
I watch your channel alot to get tips on how to be a better bowler, I hear you guys talk about "surface" ...what exactly is surface? Could you please give an example of what this is? Thanks so much.
Keep up the great work!!❤️❤️
Using a sanding pad to alter the natural surface of the bowling ball
Hi guys,
Thanks so much for answering my question. I really appreciate it!! 😁
can you guys do a video focusing on decel I keep hearing that and I'm not sure what that means
Nice 👍🏻
How many pounds is your ball?
I can keep my elbow in and get on the inside of the ball just have a hard time getting under the ball at release. Any tips for that?
??? Is there an exercise that I can do to help me stop dropping my shoulder at the line?I've tried a couple adjustments with no luck
