    Thank you for the inspiration for a lefty, I’ve been bowling for a long time and carry a good avg’ 189 I shot a 721 series but I’m always practicing with different stuff in the house or outside against the wall with a soft spongy ball for release and always looking for videos like this. My goal is to be a good bowler with a 230 average. I was hurt in an accident and to continue to bowl I had to go lefty. That was 4 years ago so a solid avg I have achieved but want higher so I have subscribe in hoping to see more from him. Thanks

    Your tip about a small amount of elbow bend and keeping your elbow by your side helped me out a lot. I tried to go for a pendulum swing by locking my arm and that was really hurting my game.

  • @steadfasttinsoldier5228
    @steadfasttinsoldier5228 3 місяці тому

    When i started cupping the ball to ensure my fingers were under the midline at release, my elbow bent naturally during my swing in order to support the weight of the ball. Been getting some beautiful ball motion. So maybe it's more of a wrist thing than an elbow thing?

  • @GrumpaBaggins

    Being new to bowling, is there more to hooking the ball? Do you have to look anywhere specific or slide towards a specific direction? Thanks for showing hand placement.

    What weight do you recommend throwing? I bowled for years throwing a 16 pounder one handed no thumb but I'm getting back into it and I'm thinking about bowling with a thumb. I'm considering a 14 pound ball to get back into it

    I bought a 14lb ball and it seems way to heavy for me…I have a lot of muscle but it’s still too heavy. My fingers and my thumb start to hurt when I try to hook it. And I can’t release properly even when I’m doing it softly

    What a terrible thumbnail, telling people to come over the top of the ball for more hook

    • @hankgolfer1
      @hankgolfer1 3 місяці тому +14

      He is telling people in the video NOT to come over the top and the left thumbnail also does NOT show coming over the top. It is from a right-handed view on left thumbnail. Definitely NOT coming over the top. And the video shows what over the top looks like and NO way near what thumbnail shows. Go see an eye doctor to have your eyes checked out.

    Unfortunately too much talking, not enough demonstrating. You talked all about hooking a bowling ball, barely showed any clips of the ball hooking. You even discussed 9:00 vs. 6:00 positions and NEVER Showed the difference! Lol

    I liked what you said, but you didn't mention that your fingers need to be behind the ball or even under the ball, rather than on top. Also, you cupped your wrist and dropped your shoulder.

      @@ou812true5 It takes strength though to keep your hand positions that way, you need a firm wrist. And a really good fit, if the fit isn`t right you wont be able to do that. They could`ve added that!

      Dropping your shoulder is what is needed to make sure the shoulder doesn’t go forward and to keep the ball and arm swing under your head. It’s all part of the modern game
