Hey Andy, just found your UA-cam site and loved the "Chasing 300" coaching videos. The one thing that we bowlers that are learning how to bowl would love to learn is the language. Yes, that's right the language of bowling. There are many videos that tell you about bowling correctly but they use a language that is foreign to us. I love the way you explain what you mean when you tell us what to do. Down and In????? ok ??? Just an example. I think you know what I am talking about. Keep up the good work in teaching us all about bowling.
Hey Andy, remgirl here again. After taking your advice and practicing those drills I am happy to said that I have manage to break the 150 average and able to rise my average by increasing my spare %. Thanks for the advise and please continue the put out more content like this.
Great topic Andrew! As a 53 years old bowler with only 3 years playing it (yes, I learnt to play it from scratch at 50 two-handed as a sunday hobby), I am chasing the 300 by overcoming the 150's. Mental game and reviewing your basics is crucial for doing so. I think your nailed the title. Last sunday after the bowling school, I was thinking I was stuck in 150's and suddenly, when I was watching your video, I found inspiration to go on and set my new goal: 200, then 250 and then 300. I appreciate so much your time for this.
Andrew every thing you mentioned in this video I’m having trouble with. Literally everything from my ball fit, to the footwork, timing etc literally everything. I’ve been trying to watch videos and teach myself to get better and it’s been better to a point. I need coaching and I’m hoping to get some soon. I’d love to get coaching from you but didn’t know what your schedule and everything is, but the way you explain everything and show everything has been helping me out a lot lately. It’s really sticking in my mind.
Thanks for the video and for this series. I am new to bowling, having started exactly four months ago. And while I have had several games above 200 (high game of 228), I struggle with consistency. For example, the first time I broke 200, I hit 206. And then followed that up with two games full of splits, scoring in the 150s. It was only earlier this week that I realised that my swing was off (after watching a Kegel training video with a figure 8 swing drill). I kept thinking it was my wrist that was turning on release, resulting in me hitting the target at times, missing to the right or to the left at other times. After trying the figure 8 drill, I bowled two games with the figure 8 swing, and I found that I was hitting my target more consistently, and my axis of rotation was a little better (it used to be very low, or at times ended up being backup). I have to keep practicing, so I look forward to the other videos you'll have in this series.
Andrew thank you so much for your time and tips on your video training. Unfortunately, I am not able to schedule a session with you this year. I am about to have open heart surgery. I hope you are still there next year around this time.
As I begin my first year as a college bowling coach, this video (and your others) was very helpful! I really appreciate what you are doing for the sport!
pitches are the angle at which the holes are drilled! Typically people focus on forward or reverse pitch, especially with two handers, but you can also have left and right pitch. it's really all about finding what is most comfortable for you, which is where the pro shop can help a ton! especially if you can explain what you do/don't like to feel, or if you are having issues where you are tearing up your fingers on a certain spot
My average is 170 to 180. The biggest problem for me is concentrating when I’m around lousy lazy kids or a family of kids. Man! The number of times kids either throw or drop the ball is ridiculous!
If you're just learning to bowl, as in averaging under 150, I would not start two-handed. Two-handed bowling requires too much approach speed for a beginner to be accurate. Breaking 150 does mean making spares, which is a lot harder to do with no backswing and / or without a thumb in the ball.
Brilliant coaching, Mr. Anderson. Many thanks!

Keep practicing. You'll get it. Try recording yourself. It worked for me.
@@StayInYourLane300 Thanks.
My nine yr old can remember “out , down, up, through” and can kinda bowl on day 1 of tryi bc. Amazing

I love you dude thanks for all the great vids
I aint chasing 150...but I learnt sumn imma add to my game
Thanks for the tips in this video. Will you be doing a pride liberty ball review?
It took me a little over a year to go from 150 to 170s, but then I took some couching, and now I'm at 190 and breaking 200s.
8:40 what are pitches? thanks guys!

Footwork is what's very difficult for me. My body wants to end up on the wrong leg.

I’ve been chasing 200 for 8years😭😭
