My ugly bowling video
« on: January 18, 2004, 01:56:37 AM »
Since everyone else is doing it, i did it.

Notice how my first step goes to the left. Im working to get rid of that. And I already stated about my kinda short approach.

your approach seems too quick *feet* and you definitely drift. but does this approach work for you? i watch many of the pros drift, so for some people it works out great.

i always stay low, check my mark, check my feet, then check the hit. i dont drift but hell, it seems to work for others.

Well since this footage was shoot, I have slowed my approach down a lot.

I would be concerned about the length of steps rather than the direction.  Not bad for a windup, though.

That windup's awful slow.  With a guy on third, make sure he doesn't take off on that first step . . . you'll end up pitching right into a squeeze play.

Seriously... think about compacting things a little more.  The drift doesn't bother me.  The armswing seems jerky.  Smooth it out and you're settin' pretty good.

Stand left, throw right.

Got an awful lot of loft there too. THUNK!

How do you do on other oil patterns or inconsistant patterns?

Without a B & C game to that grip it & rip it, you might be stuck being a house bowler.

They all went down though, so I guess that's all that counts.

You style just reminds me an awful lot of so many youth bowlers I see now days, Big hook = Big score.

One last thing, in the video it looks like your almost 2 feet from the foul line, if you're there regularly you should consider moving your approach forward a bit.

Bjaardker,

The lanes were a little dry, that loft helped me get it down a little further.

I fixed the foul line thing, im only about 8 inches from it now.

How should I go about smoothing it out like everyone says i need too?

Here's what John Jowdy says, "Low & Long". Instead of hitting up on the ball to get maximum rev, think about getting it out onto the lane. It just looks like you're gripping it a little too hard & that's causing the thumb to clear late, your fingers to "hit up" on the ball, and the THUNK on the lane. Maybe thinking of projecting the ball into the lane instead of over it.

Bottom line, the ball should never be travelling upward when it leaves your hand. You may think that you need to rip it to get those revs, but you'll be surprised. The combination of the ball being on the lane longer along with revs from a clean release will actually out hook the fling.

Out...not up.
Out...not up.
Low & long.
Low & long.

I could care less about revs. Im not trying to rev the ball, thats just whats natural.

So just let it go smoother? Oh and, what about my steps?? What exactly should I do to those.
