Bowling Vid (Edit: New Side View)
« on: May 03, 2004, 12:27:26 AM »
Well, I got back to bowling almost a month ago, after taking quite some time off for pnuemonia. Not fun coming back after that long of break and knowing you are throwing it like crap, lol

Anyways, I've got a little bit of what I had before my hospital visit back, and was wanting some advice on other things I need to work on to get back to my old self quicker.

The ball i'm using is a Raging Inferno, currently the only ball i've had fixed to fit my new sized thumb. It's hard going from huge arsenal to one ball

HOPEFULLY that link works. Currently I'm working on having more control over my trailing leg.

Thanks for any and all help!

doesn't look bad.......I can see where you "may" have some timing issues (late) based on push-off, or lack-there-of .... it's real close...however,...that clip didn't look bad at all. Nice smooth release....    Could be able to tell more w/ a side view too

looks pretty good,..I'd only suggest that you stay down and through the shot a little longer, hold the follow through for balance and accuracy....I like the Black/Red Vendetta on the ball return.

Thanks for the input everyone!

LOL The red one is a Cherry Bomb and the black one is a Core Power LRG (I think, the darker gold and black one).

I'll get some better camera angles tomorrow for sure. And I'll make sure there are different balls on the ball return for more guessing fun

Thanks again.

I'm surprised no one has said, you need some knee bend.

Knee bend never hurts.  I also have to add, you have quite the arsenal for only bowling for 15 months.

It also appears that the release is too far out away from plant leg and coming around the ball too far thus losing leverage.

I side with Doc,,, slide leg is going left away from target which if you dont alter your armswing causes the ball to get away from the ankle (or the ankle away from the ball to be technical). And you are definitely on the side of the ball to early.

I agree with others too that you should get down and stay down at the foul line. You will find it easiest to accomplish if you redirect your slide at your target as this brings your weight directly overtop the foot.

You are slightly late in your pushaway about 1/2 step as well. Let the ball fall into your swinger faster.

However, You have natural timing and get through the ball at the bottom really well. Work on the above items and you will add additional power by increasing your leverage to what you already do very well.

the 2 quotes belwo contradict each-other,...yes ?

and then this...

...and get through the ball at the bottom really well.


I don't particularly see Doc's or Pin-chaser's points.  In other words, they didn't jump out to me as blatent issues.  Even after seeing their comments I they really didn't stand out.....knee bend, yes,...I see that, ......but...
