Bash my video!
« on: July 04, 2004, 03:01:42 AM »

Me throwing my Icon 2:

Im open up for comments. Notice my first step. My approach speed does seem a lil faster than normal.

Also,

When someone ask you how many opens did you have today/last game/whatever, do you include missed splits as a open frame? I'm NOT certain, but the PBA does not count missed splits as opens do they?

Jeff,

So on the first step, I should not move the ball/arm, then the 4th step I should push away.. then everything normal from there?

I actually already knew about how I start on my first step. I really never thought about changing it, till now.

channel surfer, your approach is almsot similiar to mine. i take about 7 steps and i drift about 5-7 boards to the left. i'm a big guy in the heavy side. i use to start at the dots not from way back and i ended up about 1 1/2 feet from the foul line. Then i changed it about 4-5 years ago. which was weird at first but i got use it. now i'm about lest than a foot away from the foul line. also it takes me a while to set up too. i use to average in the 170's. now i'm in the hight 180's. but still need a little more work. where i am right now i should be averaging in the high 190's - 200. but i'm suprise the way you through your ball and how you set up on the approach i thought i was the only one who does that. i've seen one person who does that but the way you throw your ball and mine doesn't even come close. that's about it for now.

Nothing wrong.  The user C_J is the PBA rookie if the year Chris Johnson.  There is no way you confuse his style with channel surfer's.

CS - Yes, I count missed splits as opens.  The way I see it, a split constitutes a mistake on your first ball.  A missed spare constitutes a mistake on your second ball.  I believe the PBA counts missed splits as opens, but I do not believe they count towards spare conversion percentage (they count towards split conversion percentage).  Anyone who knows for sure, by all means, correct me.

CS - I think it is great that you're willing to take comments and criticism and try new things.  To quote Robert Smith ("Maximum Bob"): "People who aren't willing to try new things aren't willing to improve"

Kill the back row (or maybe this should read "make your spares, dummy")

I'm going to try what Jeff said. That may straighten out my approach, and decrease the speed, and hopefully lengthen my steps.

I'm going to practice this thursday and see how it goes. Ill bring my mini cam to record it if i think I am onto something.

BULL ... i havent read all the posts but i have to say this ish pisses me off.you ask for some help and all they give u is some B S.  man "U STEP TO THE LEFT" WHO F'ING CARES. it looks to me like u get the job done. you wanna crank fine so do i. and what are you carryin' for an average...210 220 230... higher than most who r critisizing ur style i am sure. ur approach is short.. sure.. but u obviously like the leverage. my question to all thee a s s holes who r talkin all this head is .. what makes ur p u s s y no leverage long slide approach right when i can throw a better more active shot with a flippin houseball. and i am sure this guy can do the same. so............ while u all r talking ur ish i will be the first to say ... nice strikes , nice shot , and nice f u c * i n g approach!!!!!!!!!
