Heres my first attempt at a video.....
« on: April 03, 2005, 03:30:04 PM »
I just got some footage with my analog camcorder today and tried to figure out pinnacle. Wow is that stuff confusing!! Anyways, don't laugh at the poor editing, but please feel free to point out anything I'm doing wrong. As in my profile...i'm a no thumber. Be nice...

Edit: first ball in vid is a Thing Returns 2nd is Anomaly and 3rd is Thing Lives.

Alright got it.

NOW, LEGEND4LIFE, YOU NO THUMB HACK! AS FOR YOU...

LOL
 J/k Your ball roll is sweeet. The major thing I see is that you arent as balanced at the line as you could be. I'm one to talk as I fall off of almost all of my shots, but that was the only real thing I noticed. Perhaps getting lower at the line will help both your balance and in turn your accuracy.
Just my opinion.

BTW, Nice job on the editing and the soundtrack!

That is what I was going to say. I thought I had read it before on here that as long as it was covered with the palm..it was ok.

As for the knee bend, I have been trying to work on that so that I can get the ball lower to the floor and down earlier. My knees ache already from highschool basketball injury, so its a little painful trying to bend alot.

I'm not really a house hack. I'm not that good right now. They rarely put out even a semi-wall so I had a little fun today. Our usual league shot is basically a more flat pattern and I play more straight up. Ok maybe swing it 6-8 boards. I was feeling good about my game bowling 600's steadily and averaging around 196-199, but for the last 10-12 weeks I have really been throwing the ball like azz. Thats why I need opinions.

I was just kidding about the hack thing.

I also have some knee trouble, maybe that's why i'm not balanced either.

You slide a ton! This could be what is leading to your balance/lack of knee bend issues. Its very hard to slide that far with a bent knee.

As others have said I would suggest more knee bend.  I also noticed that your first step you carry the ball, this is ok for a 5 step approach but with the 4 step appoach you should be pushing away when you take your first step as this will help you clear the hips throughout the approach.  Personally I'm not to fond of the no thumber's realease because it causes people to bend the elbow in the backswing and is just another place to cause inconsistency even though it can be controlled and very accurate if repeated the same every single time.

I beleive youre right, but how can I teach myself to cut back on the slide? I have tried to plant before whaen I was just trying different things, but it didnt feel right or comfortable...not to mention when I try to adjust the slide, I usually end up busting my azz b/c of my knee. It trys to buckle if I put to much strain on it.

Thanks for your input guys, keep it coming.
