    There's a lot of good non-controversial stuff discussed here guys; good solid info too. I couldn't help but think though that you guys didn't mention much, if at all, the fact that most good lefties are excellent shot replicators - they have to develop the ability to repeat shots over and over again without deviation because their lanes transition so slowly throughout a block. Conversely on the right side the repetition of one's shot isn't always as important because reading the transition and making big adjustments throughout games and blocks is so much more of a prominent skill to master. Thoughts?

    This is one of the most informative bowling videos that I have ever seen, and I'm especially appreciative for this as a left-handed bowler!
    Thank you both so much for teaching me about things that I have not even taken into consideration before!
    On a side note, I was an avid bowler in the early 2000s. I wasn't on a league, but at a couple of my favorite bowling alleys (one in Oak Park, Illinois and the other in Cicero Illinois...both of which are sadly gone now), anyhow I lived next door to the Cicero bowling alley and a couple miles from the Oak Park one, and I often bowled with people on the leagues before league practice or just with people on leagues, who were practicing and whatnot... anyhow, two great tips that I heard from more than a few individuals each were as follows:
    1) "Work on picking up the spares, and the strikes will come."
    2) (Regarding throwing a "hook") "Bring your hand up like you are 'shaking hands' with the pins."
    The latter usually involved a physical demonstration, but I found BOTH of these tips to be extremely helpful!

    @deadpolymers3416 4 роки тому +5

    I can bowl well with both hands. I'm naturally a 1H Righty, but now I bowl 2H Lefty, and have bowled 1H Lefty in the past. For me the big difference in each side is the transition. On the left side, the shot is what it is, and isn't going to change very much. You can play whichever line you like, and not have to worry about other bowlers on your lane crossing your line. On the right side transition comes much faster... sometimes that's good, sometimes it's bad. Ever have a night where you shoot 150 - 250-125? You probably didn't just go into god mode that middle game, you likely didn't do much of anything different and the transition just fell into your lap.

    Really enjoyed this one very much. Packet is growing on me even though he is a two hander. I am also left handed. I have my arsenal laid out so I don't have to make those big moves in. The third arrow is the farthest I have to move. After that it gets really uncomfortable. Please do more left handed tips on targeting when moving into the fourth arrow and beyond. Does Packy use the 3 point targeting when moving in or does he have a focal point.

  • @CurtisL8.3066
    @CurtisL8.3066 4 роки тому +5

    Another think to kinda chain into what packy was saying: as a lefty, you have to be comfortable with a few different hand positions and speeds to get the ball to read the right part of the lane. Sometimes you’re at a tournament and you might be right in the pocket but not carrying, and moving out of that spot or switching balls isn’t feasible because that pattern is only letting you play in that specific line, so you have to trick your hand to get it read more downlane or hit it to make it read earlier, sometimes getting around it or get softer with your speed is the answer, especially with urethane. Kinda rambling here, but sometimes sport patterns especially for lefties only give you one look, and that look is gonna stay the same all day, so you better be able to do that or you’re gonna go home early.

  • @waybiz
    @waybiz 4 місяці тому +1

    I disagree, the key reason a Lefty is different from a righty is rotation. Flush the toilet, which way does the water turn clockwise. The rotation of the earth causes that. So the earth is helping a lefty's ball rotate in that direction. A right the earth is hindering that rotation. A lefty is rolling down a hill that is slanted to the right, A right is rolling up a hill the slanted to the right. It's Called the Coriolis Effect, it is caused by the rotation of the Earth.

    • @janderson8401
      @janderson8401 4 роки тому +2

      The short answer is two handed gives you more revs. 90% of two handers do not use their thumb so the opposite hand is acting in place of the thumb. The mechanics of doing this tends to cup the wrist naturally. The combination of a good wrist cup before the release and no chance of the thumb hanging up in the ball creates a consistent, powerful release.

    • @xPandora__

Fortunately, I'm ambidextrous so it is not too difficult to make the transition......almost like being a 'beginner bowler' . . once I can get better, I'll pretty much have that whole side to myself as most of the bowlers in my league are 'rightees' ! ! !

    I always hear your moves in terms of 2 and 1. As I grew up, my dad and other coaches would just tell me to move the feet and not the eyes necessarily unless there was some drastic stuff out there. What is the advantage to moving the eyes as well, and should every move include an eye move for the most part?

    • @mmascpdm668
      @mmascpdm668 4 роки тому

      I was also taught to just move your feet by my dad back in the 70s. The problem with that strategy is you tend to increase your angle into the pocket which increases the chances to leave more corner pins. By using the 2:1 strategy, you maintain the correct angle to the pocket, and increase your odds on carrying the corners. It’s all about carry.

  • @jesse75
    @jesse75 Рік тому

    My two cents. I bowl with both arms. The ball rolls and hits the pocket better, much the same ase Eral Anthony's left handed. But I'm slightly better at spares right handed. But the ball rolls different.
    The only reason I would bowl league would be to use right hand to make more spares.
    I'm thinking to bowl one league left and another right. ?
    If I bowl against myself left vs right i score more often against right. But bowling right gives me a high score once in awhile.
    Now as for being balanced mentally, it's hard to say. But I do feel a dominance in one eye. And that's what makes me make better spares right handed.
    I don't see much of a left brain right brain dominance. I'm a an engine builder/machinist. But then I play an instrument. More than 40 years.
    More than anything, it's eye dominance.

      I use urethane so much on so many different conditions. It smooths the reaction downlane so much while still being continuous. It forgives misses outside and inside as well. It isn’t always the answer, but it sure seems to be the benchmark for lefties to compete on sport. If you are a lefty and don’t throw it, you get stuck in urethane transition anyway so you might as well get with the times if you’re a competitive bowler.

      Quick question what would you say as trips for someone who is a right handed back up bowler

    My two cents. I bowl with both arms. The ball rolls and hits the pocket better, much the same ase Eral Anthony's left handed. But I'm slightly better at spares right handed. But the ball rolls different.
    The only reason I would bowl league would be to use right hand to make more spares.
    I'm thinking to bowl one league left and another right. ?
    If I bowl against myself left vs right i score more often against right. But bowling right gives me a high score once in awhile.
    Now as for being balanced mentally, it's hard to say. But I do feel a dominance in one eye. And that's what makes me make better spares right handed.
    I don't see much of a left brain right brain dominance. I'm a an engine builder/machinist. But then I play an instrument. More than 40 years.
    More than anything, it's eye dominance.
