Tips on hooking a ball

[Jusxusfanatic]

Do you have any tips on hooking? I seem to cant hook it. Best game was 94 out of 3 haha

Btw, my pro shop says balls under 10lb have no cores?! I'm using a roto grip wreck em

Is it drilled for finger tip grip?

[Jusxusfanatic]

Yep of  course

I could sit here and give you hints all day but this question may be better served for YouTube. The visuals should help more than reading tips

Thats true guess I'll just have to experiment

 Remember, start with the basics.

 The easiest way to learn a hook type release is to start with an American football.

 Learn to throw the football underhand. When you get to the point you can throw a nice spiral with the football underhanded, that is the same hand and arm motion you will need to create a hooking release for bowling.

 Throw your bowling ball with the same arm motion and release motion as the football (when you get a nice spiral) and that will get you started. Where you take it from there is up to you.

Yea I've been using a tennis ball to practice, though it doesn't really work haha

You are using a 10 lb ball? It's not going to make much difference if it hooks or not.

Try one of these it has a dynamic molten core which gives major bias to help with ball swing hook..

C'mon guys, this person is just starting to get interested in bowling, and took enough interest to buy an expensive ball, and now wants to learn how to throw it correctly.

 Yes, it is a bit lighter than I would reccommend, but learning how to throw it correctly will make it carry and strike more than it would otherwise.

 When she is throwing it good, my wife can leave solid nines with her 11lb cyclone. I've seen her do it many times.

 He may later wish to get a bit heavier ball, but you gotta start somewhere. If the desire is there, he can make the necessary changes later on as he gets more comfortable with himself and the proper bowling techniques.

Hasn't this method been replaced?  I admit it is probably the easiest way, but not necessarily the preferred method by the teaching academies.

I wasn't trying to dog the person, just giving an opinion. With a ball that light, accuracy has to be paramount.

Yep of  course

I try to assume nothing.
