Yes, the #1 thing my coach preaches in the physical game is using your legs. I also like to think of my legs as something more consistent and controllable than trying to muscle the ball with my upper body. Still not the best at it, but its helped a lot. Great video as always guys, thank you!
Interesting point! I never knew about the angle of the foot being so important. Thanks for the great explanation
Thanks. These tips to generate more power truly help. I need this since my ball release doesn't have must power since I had my knee surgery. Kudos and thanks for helping us improve our game.
You guys are one of the more clear to understand UA-cam channels when it comes to explaining things! Thank you for the content!
Wow. I didn't realize the importance of my legs. I will be focusing on this going forward. Again, I can't say it enough. Thank you for your awesome videos!!!!!
Happy new year! This channel started it all for me and it just keeps getting better!
Being two handed I think it gives me a little more ease here. When I hit the power step the ball is at apex but I can drive through with more power.
This regardless of the number of hands you use is essential!
Thank you for the timely video! I just got into more serious bowling and been trying to figure out how to generate power and get my body to be more open. This video answered both!
Amazing tips. This speaks perfectly to what Coach Daniel was identifying as needs in my approach. Can't wait to get back to the lanes. Thank you both.
In my 30 years of bowling, I’ve never seen these aspects spelled out. Brilliant!
Holy crap I didn’t know this was what I needed until I watched this. I realized my power step was too big and last night I had my best week of the season after just the second week of implementing it!
I just got the game changer asym 15lb ball and have had my love for this game renewed. I hope to be able to improve my game enough that I might see you out there. That is my goal anyway. Thanks again for all the tips.
Thank so much for all your videos. As a new bowler, your explanations answer so many questions for me. Much appreciated 🙏
Best video I have ever seen explaining this. So many bowlers don't think about footwork.
Needed this, thanks! Lately lanes are pushing me much farther left and my speed is slow so it hooks but it needs more drive.
At 66 I don't think I'll be able to get more athletic, but I can definitely load more on the drive leg. Great tip. Thanks!
I need to generate more income with the amount of bowling balls getting pumped out every month
Same
@Jovan Louis • Don't be a Sucker.
@@Monk-Amani. it’s called a joke 🤦♂️
@@zeroapostle4ever9 nah you right though
LOL….. brad & kyle, this is the next topic please
Cool tech bowling coaching brad and Kyle
Love the video as always, can't wait to hopefully see the vlog come back when the season boots back up
Kyle does fine job demoing the power step mechanics!
This was a good lesson for me. Thanks
Hey guys, Happy New Year!! I really enjoyed this video!! Looking forward to putting this into practice!!
Good stuff Brad and Kyle..
This helps..
Great information guys!
Interesting concept but, if you’re mostly a down and in player,could you still use this? Normally my feet are straight and I have noticed some players crisscrossed their feet. Is that another key? Thanks in advance!
As a two handler before I even watch i see pros doing a little hop step which I’ve been trying to emulate. Just threw a 233 yesterday for a new on and upped my speed from 13.5 to 15-16
I really hope it looks a little like a hop before I see the video
I need to generate more accuracy
U-Tube?
Lmao
Concentrate on where your break point is, then figure out where you need to stand to hit the pocket, visualize a straight line from your slide board to where the break point board is at the break point distance and see where that line intersects with the arrows, now you have two targets to hit, hope this makes sense its hard to explain in a text comment. Joe Slowinski does a great job of explaining it and showing you what board to slide on and where your ball needs to cross at the arrows based on your breakpoint distance and board with his advanced lane play strategy spreadsheet.
Do you have any suggestions for me, that has a real short back swing, possible bad rotatercup and a three step approach?
Hi guys...great video...wanted to let you know I am holding a under50/over 50 scratch doubles tourney at Clutch lanes in Cuyahoga Falls Ohio March 19th...that is the same week as the toc in Akron at Rivieria lanes...first place is $4000...not sure if you guys are coming to the TOC or not this year
Good vid. Thanks!
Thank you for this tip. It really helps. I have a dumb question. When is the best time to use this method? When do you, a bowler, need to use a power step, or do I need to incorporate this in my game?
It’s not a dumb question, but to answer your question they use it all the time. Why you ask, because no matter if they’re trying to speed up or slow down (there are other changes but I don’t want to over confuse you) the constant in the process is that their legs stay the same so when they get to the foul line they are in sink every time and their follow through is perfectly executed as well. Hopefully that helped some or possibly Brad and Kyle will respond with a better tip. Good luck out on the lanes.
This was really good! I think I need to see more examples. I appreciate the information, but could we get more demonstration?
I conceptualize timing in the following way:
Directly under the ball at the address position, there is an imaginary vertical tube the same diameter as the ball. The ball is dropped into the tube and moves down then up within the tube until the ball reaches the apex of the backswing at the power step, at which point the ball escapes the top of the tube and is free to move forward as it drops into the release zone. if the ball does not remain within the "tube" prior to the apex, the timing and/or swing direction (swing slot) is off and balance would be affected. The tube defines timing as well as swing direction. It is a three dimensional concept.
hey guys , love the channel. very good unfo. but the power step cant always be to the right. depends on the shot. if your playing a Norm Duke line . down and in. you would never step to the right.
Really appreciate you how to type vids but how about some senior type bowler tips. Like for us 50+ fans.
I’m confused about Kyle’s comment to point your foot to the right when taking the next to last step in the approach. When he took his last step, his plant foot pointed straight ahead. How can that work, to go right with your foot and then walk straight ahead on your next step?
I thought it was odd that your right foot would be "open" going into the last step, so I looked at some video I took of myself over the summer and sure enough, my foot is open going into the final step and slide. I guess I'm lucky that my body knows what it's doing better than my brain
Great content
Can someone suggest a good hammer pearl bowling ball to pair with an hammer tough (mainly spares) and a black widow 2.0 ( my go ball) but wanting to add a pearl that is. Less aggressive than Black widow 2.0
@@jam7547 • Hammer can.
Another TIP: Buy a pair of good shoes that have changeable soles & heels! The rubber sole of the NON-SLIDING foot will provide a great deal of GRIP and really help you explode into your slide! Not so much if you're using old House rental shoes, or cheap bowling shoes!!!
I got my first pair of bowling shoes with the different soles for each foot this year and I've never felt more comfortable on the approach. I can finally make a strong push into the slide without worrying about slipping. Helped my balance a ton
Poor bowler myself here, but I realize that I do bowl (straight) in the mid to upper 20's mph (23-25 on a bad day, 25-28 on the good days) if I'm spinning, I'm around 18-21mph but from what I see on line (for my rev rate I probably should aim for more like 16-18 to get a bit more hook), and what I can't seem to understand is how people are getting in 4 or 5 steps in before the line? But I'm hoping to find some more consistency. Currently I'm only going 2 steps before starting my slide.
I start left foot on the back edge of the wood and right foot about 14-16 inches Infront. I take a full step like.im normally walking. Then my right leg comes down for my power step, and I explode through into my slide.
I can't seem to time things up without this form. I can't seem to get a backswing whenever I try to add another step in there. Do people have to consciously contract their delts to raise the ball on the backswing?
Because with my form it never even feels like I'm lifting the ball with my muscles, it feels like the momentum of the approach, raises the ball for me.
Thoughts? I am coming from a sports background where explosive movement has always been rewarded, basketball, disc golf, and parkour. So I guess I'm asking what changes other than smaller steps do I need to make so the timing of this all will workout?
Step before the slide should be short and you should slowly be getting lower with knee bend leading up to that power step. A little bend in the elbow and you can get a really high back swing. Like they said though, need to get the ball to the top of that back swing when you're doing the power step and then the ball comes forward as u go into the slide. Might want to adjust how high your starting position is. If you're early bring the ball a bit higher and lower if you have late timing.
Shorten your 1st step and maybe bring your feet closer together and slow your steps down. Try to make the steps evenly spaced out speed wise
Hey guys, I heard you both were competing in the Storm Utah Open - is that true?
1/2 of us
@@BradandKyleBowl What about in Milwaukee at the WSOB?
Prather doesn't have soft feet, his shoes are always squeaking :)
Power Step......got it : )
Leverage.
My concern is I am 5 foot 7 inches. I'm barley pushing 150 pounds ( i know i am a small guy) but i can never generate enough power to get my ball speed and revs to increase. Should i drop my ball weight from 14 to 13? I've been bowling for 15 years and I never went above 14 pounds because i was afraid of not being able to handle the weight for a long time.
Look at EJ he is a tiny guy and generates a lot of power.
@@aeikens1 yeah i wacth him but i dont know how they do it
@@jpgunny101 The first way to gain more ball speed is to move back on the approach. You may sacrifice some accuracy. Conversely, if you want to slow ball speed, you can move up on the approach and walk slower.
1)Once you go below 14 lbs, the cores aren't the same anymore... don't do that.
2) Power comes from foot speed, not muscling the ball with your arm.
EJ Tackett is a bean pole, and Norm Duke is 5'5", and STILL throwing a 16 lb ball at +/- 58 years old... you don't need to be a big guy, or throw an unnecessarily light ball to generate power.
I'm 5'11 175 and throw 16 lb 17.5 mph
Point foot to right if playing down and in? I dont think so
Good information but I wish you had demonstrated the power step by actually bowling some balls and maybe even showing your throws and power step in slow motion. Many of us are more visual than auditory. Thx.
I’ll check this out I can’t get good ball speed with 2 hands. Can’t get past 16.5 at most
Back in 80s and 90s was called the shuffle step
Good luck next month!
Well this was a great video that pretty much explained my power issues. The fun part is I apparently naturally do all those things and can't figure out how to reduce my power when needed. For reference, I'm easily effortlessly in the 20 mph range and can put effort in and reach about 30 mph. There just isn't any ball motion though.
How’s Kyle feeling? Is he gonna be able to bowl again soon?
My issue with me is none of my bowling balls seem to make it past the mid lane when I play angles unless it’s too oily
I would appreciate some transitioning tips if you could help me out.
Darren Tang has a great power step.
Is the PBA still on fox?
My boys !!!
Hi Brad 🥰🥰🥰
Where West Malott look, with throws his bowling ball plz
@Gilles • Rephrase your question. Please!
@@Monk-Amani. I do
What in the world are you even asking
2 handed advice?
@rooster • U-Tube.
For me it’s all in my arm and my steps
@Jered Steilen • Isn't that what they just explained?
@@Monk-Amani. yeah but mine is different though, I have a very little backswing and just all arm and force it down the lane
Is Larry Lick-tin-stine a real person, or do you mean Larry Lichstein?
In my case, the short step before I plant lol (no seriously that’s my game)
I was in Tom Laskow's pro shop in NJ while he was on the phone with Larry Lichstein on speaker. Man can that guy talk, he told about 5 stories in a row for 45 minutes without Lash having to say a word lol.
This is my biggest problem and my brain can’t get this right!
Why hasn't Kyle bowled in a while? He made a comment about his timing being off because of it.
I believe he had hip surgery, which he's still recovering from.
A little criticism here: Explaining this without actually throwing the ball is kind of pointless
Just a boring video, Show what you tell, I love your videos, but this one i so Confusing. Nobody gets a better bowler after looking at this Video
Then Your not paying attention. Power from your legs not from arms which can cause inaccuracies.
You really need a video of somebody bowling and talk about it showing the video of you guys trying to act like you walking is so confusing and using terms like loading without explaining what loading is is useless for anybody who doesn't know what you talking about
Sorry guys but IMHO not your best work. This is a VIDEO not lecture. Show & Tell time. Throwing some shots and talking us through them would have been much more effective.
I have lost count of how many times you have posted different versions of basically the same videos. Just stop.
Keep counting
@@BradandKyleBowl 🤣🤣...thank you for these videos, always love the quick hits and tips
these guys both sound drunk
is brad drunk?
Get rid of the mask footage. 🙄
You can remove the shots of you guys wearing face diapers in the intro montage any time now.
Yall need to be together ❤️
