My video
« on: January 25, 2005, 10:35:52 AM »
Well, I think I finally did it.  We got a camera for Christmas and this was my first attempt at shooting any type of video.  The clip is a bit fuzzy, but I'll get better once I figure out how to use the stupid thing.  Anyway, I'll be posting a better clip later on.  Based on what you can see, tear me apart!

From what I saw you put your thumb in the ball. Right? Wow you muscle the ball like crazy. Elbow bent! You need to work on a free armswing.

Yes, I use my thumb.  As far as me having a free armswing, I've tried in the past but feel as though I give up accuracy and power.  Even though that bothers me a bit, I still practice it from time to time.  In my next clip, I'll get a closeup of my revs.  It makes me dizzy.

Just not as much muscle in it will give you alot more accuracy. I don't believe a totally free armswing is possible but loosing that up will help you tremendously.

I figured that with 264 users online I'd get more of a lashing than this!  Come on ya'll.  I'm relying on your feedback to make my game better.  That's why I come here in the first place.

The only things I see wrong are that you muscle your swing, your elbow is bent, and you dont get very low. You DO have some knee bend, but you seem to be very bent at the waist, costing you leverage. Looks like you have some nice loft there to haha.

I have actually improved on how low I get.  Pretty sad huh?  I used to be straight up and down.  So, I need to go lower?  Okay.  I'll work on it.  I use the loft to get the ball out there on the lane so it's not hooking like mad.  Should I cut that down more as well?  Maybe by getting lower I can cut the loft.  Thanks for the hints.
