Is that iiTzTimmy???? 😂

Doesn't work for me! Friends either!!

Excellent video. Thank you

Hi there, can I use my index and middle fingers? instead of the middle and ring fingers?

I fractured my wrist in 3 places in the late 1970’s. I wore a brace off and on. 5 weeks ago pulled a tendon in my wrist. I let it rest for 3 weeks. Bowled and the tendon popped again. So back to rest.

Spanish please

What if I throw at the dots?

Ha! That was funny. Do the folks behind you get helmets?

lol didn’t see no change at all from Timmy’s approach. He still was planting and not sliding 😂

Trying to work on getting better at sliding more!!!!

This is exactly what I do. I love being versatile

Man...this made so much sense. For reasons I still can't fully comprehend, my current coach changed my starting position to have my feet & hips face almost 45 degrees to the right while having my shoulders and hands facing the lane. After months of giving it a chance it still feels so unnatural having my body twisted like that while trying to walk in a straight line. I feel like this has ruined my swing plane and my timing as a whole.

Does changing axis tilt also change axis rotation?

Why don’t you invent thumb hole inserts that do this?

There are no range finders where I bowl.

With this thinking, I guess I’m going to bowl with a 2 pound ball, and the pins with disintegrate 🤣

What can I do with a bone spur on the middle finger of my dominant hand? I bowl fingertip 12lbs. I tried to suitcase the ball and it seemed to be less painful.

pretty sure pounds is NOT a unit of mass

If you can slog through the shenanigans and annoying attempts at humor, there is great information hidden in these videos.

I would appreciate a link to the swing trainer.

I bowl one-handed, but I've tried two-handed bowling. The first few times, the ball went anywhere but where I wanted it to. But after watching a few instructional videos, working on my footwork and approach at home (away from the lanes), and trying again, it was actually quite enjoyable. But I still prefer to bowl one-handed. I have to say that I agree with you that two-handed bowling is helping draw people to the sport that would, perhaps, otherwise not try bowling.

I'm three months into bowling and some days everything goes well and I hit a new personal high score (228 two weeks ago) or close to it (217 earlier this week), while on other days, I get more splits and I miss more single pin spares than I care to remember. Watching some of the others bowling in the adjacent lanes, I wondered if I should change my release... if my axis tilt is too low. Then I had that Eureka moment watching this video... when you said the semi-roller is (some would argue) the most desired roll. I'm a semi-roller. I'll just keep practising, working on being more consistent with my footwork, swing and release. Thank you for your videos.

Thanks for the tip on watching the ball and how the pins fall. But I wish you'd gone one step further to tell us how to adjust. I guess that might (already) be in a another video.

it would be tragic if it got banned, as it looks so funny to watch 2handers. It's like the albatross in form. so happy its renewing interest in the sport. its the 'drunken fist' of bowling :). Despite not enjoying it I am glad that others do. It looks next level silly, but i am biased, and that's also ok with me. GL at the lanes all & thankyou for making a video!

Why do you pronounce it “access rotation” lol

Thank you! Last week, I was told to shorten my approach (cos I was apparently too fast when starting from farther back). I tried that the next time I bowled, but discovered that I wasn't getting the same sort of pin action as I had (probably cost of the lost ball speed). I went back to the longer (and faster) approach and saw an immediate difference.

Thanks for this tip. I'll have to remember it if I ever face the issue of not being able to hit the pocket despite doing everything else right (which excludes times when I miss the pocket cos I missed my target arrow/board). BTW, I don't know if I've ever had a strike when hitting the 15th and a half board, but I have had two strikes where I completely missed the head pin (not by design). On both occasions, there was enough pin action that resulted in pin 4 knocking over pin 2, which took out pin 1.

How nice you didn’t act like a two year old.

No more new videos? why?

Thanks for sharing!

My lanes have no range finder marks...

I’m 60 yo and a newbie to bowling. I never looked at the dots or arrows but on the pin themselves directly and release the ball where it’s really needed. I guess it kinda makes me feel uncomfortable looking for the dots as I approach the foul line. Just me though…

Oh my god what is your deal? I cannot watch 20 seconds of you you’re obnoxious.

Thanks for this video. I've been working on my release and the wrist movement, and finally have more revs. But my axis rotation is less than 10º. Now I know what I need to do if want the ball to hook more.Thanks.

I use the arrows, for the same reason that a rifleman without a scope is using the pin at the end of the barrel as his sighting tool. IMO sighting needs to have some distance from your eye to be effective. If I use the first set of dots, and I’m lined up even a half a board left of my usual spot, the ball can go many degrees off track. OTOH if I’m using the arrows, I’m going to be at least close to target.

Do I need to put Velcro on the Dexter slide pad and heel pad or do they come with it?

Thanks for the info!

USBC rules are better than PBA.

Hello coach, I have been told that I have very late timing. Would it then make sense to slow my feet down?

Hey…..where’s the other guy lol…the one with the Bronx accent 😉

How ya doin' ? 😂

I gone try dat! 😂

I can bowl between 118 and 160 with a 12 pound ball, I recently upgraded to a 14 pound ball and I cannot break a score of 100 with it. It is just too heavy for me to control and hurts after a game. Don’t make the mistake I did and let a “pro shop” guy talk you into throwing a ball heavier than what you are comfortable with. I’ve switched back to my 12 pound ball that I got at Dunham’s and I feel dumb for wasting $140 on getting a custom drilled Rhino.

I'm confused about how to do it because my axis tilt is all over the place because I change my index and pinkie positions when I need an adjustment

Great vid! I'm 63 and just getting into bowling. When I started I had no idea what I was doing. I was planting and didn't even know it. But when I realized I was taking a step and planting I decided to learn how to slide. But I wasn't doing bad. Most won't believe this but my first weekend of practice I did not bowl below a 150. Since I've been trying to slide my game is all over the place. I do have some back injuries that effect my lower back and after some trial and error, planting seems to give me more control. I thought I had to slide but after watching your vid I see that planting is ok. Last Friday was my last practice and I went back to planting after almost 3 months of trying to slide and I bowled a 164,177 and two 201's. I think I'm going to stick with planting. Thanks for the video!!

my old blue hammer rolls through the oil..does not hook one time then skid next frame. can not trust reactive balls..tiny oil makes big mess with them.

Taking a long time when you're about to be up is all ego. There are many distractions in a bowling alley. Drinks, food, phone calls, noise, women, cramped bathrooms, running out to your car to take meds, etc. I saw the more experienced team last night do a quote "line up and wait" and taking up just as much time staring at the pins with the ball VS. all the random distractions. Then they passively aggressively complained about it behind my back as a Captain. It's obnoxious and hypocritical. If they want to enforce it, install a clock for Christ Sakes when a player is up like it's the NBA. I really do think this should be a thing if they want to get smart about it. Also because we should have timed breaks between games to decompress a bit.

Always have worn one. Never could figure out how to throw the ball without a brace. Ball would always go dead straight

I thought we were gonna be Sean had to hit our target every time we were discussing targets, but not shown how to hit our target every time
