Bash my video!
« on: July 04, 2004, 03:01:42 AM »
Alrighty here we go!

Me throwing my WOW(or MOM):

Me throwing my Icon 2:

Im open up for comments. Notice my first step. My approach speed does seem a lil faster than normal.

Also,

When someone ask you how many opens did you have today/last game/whatever, do you include missed splits as a open frame? I'm NOT certain, but the PBA does not count missed splits as opens do they?

how many steps do you cram into that little space?!?!?!?!?!?!

it seems as though, as soon as you take your first step, you move like a foot width to the left.

also, try to get more knee bend, instead of leaning way over. (This will save your hip from damages... at least for a while.)

My approach is about 8½ feet long. My dads approach is just slightly longer than mine. Ive tried to extend it, but I cant seem to get my legs that far out. I dont know how the rest of you can take such big steps.

lol i agree with everyone talking about the 5 steps in that little space, but if it works its ok. if you want a suggestion i would try moving back on the approach, taking bigger steps, and slowing down how fast you take them.

I would say the rest of your game look pretty solid from what i saw on those vids.

First and foremost, have the center manager change the F'in music!  

Second, get rid of that sidestep, it does nothing that you can't do in a 4 step delivery.  Move back, walk slower and push the ball out, no need to run, unless you're trying to beat that shot clock cuz it took so long to set up

I can hit 10 pins!!!  But I usually forget the rest of the rack

lol, but what advantage does a longer approach have?

Truthfully I dont think there IS one. I think its totally a comfort thing. Not to mention, like said before, you have the advantage that you clear the ball return much easier.

i don't agree about slow him down because then he would lose the athleticism that helps younger players.  I tried slowing my speed down and found it only hindered my ability to score.  Just because the sport is bowling doesn't mean we cant be athletic

Actually, I usually am a lot slower than that. I'm not really sure why it looks like im running to the line? Probably because I was. oops.

3 things I can see.

1)Bend your knee more
2)Your slide foot turns out, if you keep it straight, once you get in the habit, it helps you a lot.
3)keep your body more square, you start turned to the right.

1- I cant bend much more down.

2- There is nothing worng with turning your foot to the left, it provides leverage. http://www.rollrite.co.uk/coaching.php?id=2

3. Keeping your shoulders closed when swinging the ball is difficult to do, but I do agree, keeping more square would help.
