So I finally got around to getting a vid of me up on the site. It's really short, I don't have video editing software on this machine so the freeware I used only allows for like 5 seconds of video to be recorded. Anyway, this is at Berk's Lanes in Reading PA, I also bowl out of Facenda-Whitaker in Norristown and Limerick Lanes. I'm using a Paradigm Passion in the video that I just picked up 3 weeks ago. LOVE this ball, but you gotta have some oil to work with otherwise keep it in your bag! Let me know what you guys think. All comments welcome. Keep in mind I'm 6'4, so I have a very different style and rest assured, it was a strike =)

Thanks for watching! :

just one comment from what i can see, u were too far away from the foul line

one thing that u want to have always is consistency in footwork, hitting the mark is easy, but if u hit the mark but u walk differently then, ur ball is going to have different breakpoints, a big nono
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

Thanks for the input! my distance from the foul line has actually always been a problem for me. I have moved up two feet from where I used to start and still end up far away from the line. It must be in my head to take shorter steps then. I honestly start almost a the head of the ballreturn.

Right now I take a 4 step approach, it's what's been most comforable for me, do you think switching to 5 step would help with the distance problem? Or will it be an adjustment regardless of how many steps I take?

I agree with you about the foul line issue, so I'm glad you mentioned it. I'm going to work on it more for sure and try and get a better video up of me.

Thanks for the input!

i had the same problem, i used to stay too close or stay too far with each approach, i dont know if making 5 steps would help you, cuz everyone is different

if u think u dont have time to push the ball, then u can get more time by addin one more step. it feels weird at the beginnin, i cant yet change to 4 steps at will, thats why i think its the same its hard and takes time to get used to the 5 step

footwork is important, everytime i hit the mark and the ball goes to somewhere i wasnt expecting, i check where i end up at, thats why i stay on my last position after the ball hits the pins. this will allow me to adjust in the next shot
