A quick look at me bowling
« on: April 17, 2008, 02:24:29 PM »
I ensure you shots were edited, cameramanship is poor, and it was filmed on a house shot after league got over.

All criticism and analysis of the video is welcome, good or bad I want to here it.

And not that anyone cares, the blue ball is a 4000 grit dull Cell drilled 4.5" x 4" pin up, the yellow and black one is a Resurgence at 2000k + Ebonite factory finish polish.

u throw the ball well. love your follow through
but i do think your push away is a bit late and it causes your timming to be a bit off or delayed. i think if u push the ball away sooner ull find u can get more on it and more speed. just my input!

Like said before, your push away needs to be sooner. I think you would get more consistent if didn't bend at the waist so much but instead got more knee bend. Also, I think it is a side effect of your push away, but you have this strange delay in your back swing. You open your arm and and shoulder up near the top of your back swing. If you can lower the amount of that opening you won't have to work as hard to get your ball back online. Don't get me wrong, you look pretty good here I'm being a little picky.

Thanks for the comments, my major knock on myself has always been the time it takes to get my ball in the swing, and I guess after watching again you have a point on the too much bend at the waist, would be a little more productive if it was knee bend.


And yeah as stated the song is Ugly by The Exies, any comments, suggestions, rips, compliments (if theres anything worth it haha), are more than welcome.

you throw the ball so much like me its scary... i too cant seem to push away until the end of my second step. it just doesnt feel right. AND i bend too much at the waist.

as soon as i straighten out my waist i know it... why? because the ball takes off big time in the backend.

other then that it looked good. at least you make it close to the foul line unlike me.

Haha wow, that sounds just like me a year ago atleast the getting to the line part. I've just found that the only way i'm consistent with my timing is the later pushaway, but i will be breaking my game down and hopefully improving areas one at a time this summer to hopefully continue my goal of getting better.

your push away is late and it makes you pull the ball back and pull it forward.  You need to work on getting a free arm swing and that all starts with the push away.

Otherwise your form looks good, solid at the line.
