I saw this video a while ago.

Very good bowler this guy, love watching his videos.

At the 1:57 minute mark he puts two pieces of tape on this ball. I then note the different rolls on the ball. I believe this application will help one see axis rotation and tilt initially.

How does one put on the tape on the ball to get this look, starting at the 1:57 mark in video above?

Thanks,

Luckylefty
PS any training ideas in using this type of aid?

I have had coaches do this for me. If it is the same thing, it goes from just above your ring finger diagonally down toward your pap.

So basically a diagonal piece of tape from your pap to just above your ring finger.

I kept thinking there were 2 pieces of tape?

No?

I don't think there is. His rev rate probably makes it look like there is.

If you pause it, you can see one piece of tape. At least that is what it looks like to my old eyes.

I'm thinking he may have used a piece of white athletic tape. The stuff that you'll see many bowlers use to tape up their wrist...

I've done this on my PAP. Making sure I am repeating shots. If not, then I know I need to work on release.

DR3w,

Wow! You are right! Also, how did you get that still of the Video!

That is great!

I will tape up and throw. Hoping to see some axis rotation, some tilt, and some Revs!

Accuracy wouln't be bad either!

Took a screen shot of the film while in full screen. A little crop job and viola...

Hey Lefty,

Are you a member of BowlingChat.net? If you do a floor video of your ball at release and post it in the coaching section, the good folks in there will tell you all you need to know.

While i appreciate the kind words, I'm just spreading the info as it comes to me. We've had way better members of this site come and go. I just try not to let ego push me in the wrong direction.

Several vids around for doing this.

Use a 6" piece of tape going from your pap to just above your ring finger.
