That has a good deal of information. Hope he keeps working and improves. Really wasn't trying to dissect his game, there are just 3 key points he could work on. And that is how many things I work on with my coach in our lessons. Hope it helps.

Eugene McCune: He just won a tournament throwing a ball 25 mph. Not much to look at but he won because he could do it repeatedly and pretty accurate.
Ryan Shafer: Stands up horribly at release (not recommended by most high level coaches). However, he is accurate and can repeat what he does well.
The Traber Brothers: Although not very successful on the National Tour, they have had better success on the Regional level. Another example of nothing special to look at. However, they are effective.
Kendle is ahead of alot of kids his age. He is already on PBA patterns as the video shows and looks like he has a good idea what he is doing. Reminds me of another PBA Tour player from this area, Jason Sterner. He was way ahead of others at his age and has come close to making a few shows.
Before I get flamed, just want to make it clear that all the people I mentioned above are very good at what they do. My point was that you can have imperfections and still be among the best out there. Keep working Kendle!!! Go things lie ahead of you.

I am amazed at what some of you are finding wrong. The swing plane issue that one pointed out is no different than what Bill O'neill does...last I checked he's a pretty solid player. Reality of it is Kendle throws it GREAT for a 16 year old, and does some things that can't be taught. The little things will be worked out as he gets older.

The kid has a lot of potential and you are right, he's a kid.
It amazes me when amateur coaches see SO many things wrong with a person's game not realizing that one correction generally influences other parts of the game.
I am an Asst coach at Fresno and we would LOVE to have him on the team...NOW.
Anyways, keep the kid positive and he could go along ways.

I am not trying to be mean with this, but he is still pretty raw. He has the potential, but needs some coaching. The elbow bend/hitch in the swing is less than desirable for repetition. The thing he does in his swing makes it seem like the ball bumps out of a straight swing plane going through the front part of the swing. He could use a good deal more in spine tilt to get the ball more under his head at release. The triangle his body makes is pretty small comparing to most of the greats. The triangle being the lines created by the lower body during the post. Getting the ball under the head more will increase stability and leverage and will get the trail leg further out.

This coming from someone who has a MASSSSSSSIIIIVVVVEEEEE hitch in his backswing. Might want to get that checked out...or delete it from youtube.

Dyno Joe's game looks better than the young kid's, just my opinion.

I'm guessing there is a limited number of scholarships available, and I'm sure the competition for them is intense, but the program is awesome.
Kegel teaches the "modern game" and will address most all of the criticisms posted so far. Maybe you should suggest a trip to Kegel for some personal coaching, and see how it goes.

There is simply no way a human is going to produce the perfect physical game. There is no amount of training that will allow somebody to even come close to achieving that.
There is so much variance from the text book that a bowler can get away with and still be one of the top players, and there is very little reason to change their game to try to even perfect it more, because perfection is impossible.
Repetition trumps perfection. If you have a relatively good game, and you can repeat it. Your going to go far.
People get way to caught up on swing planes, drift, hand inside the ball and other stuff that is not always the big picture important. If you can get the ball from point A to point B, I do not care what it looks like.
Watch Mike Lichstein bowl, I wouldnt bowl him for $5. I like $5 in my pocket.
A little less nit pick on peoples games, goes a long way.

I'm not going to nitpick things he does wrong because 1) he's young and still tweaking the basics, and 2) everybody has things that could be improved in their swing and approach. Everybody. Looks like he's got a ton of potential in my opinion.

He has a great game.

Sorry people feel I was being that hard on him. The kid does have the potential and talent. I just saw 3 little things that could be improved on. I don't really get the point of the post if you are not looking for ways he can improve his game. This truly was not meant to be any kind of attack on the young man, I am just looking out for a fellow young bowler. I was the hardest on myself about my game growing up, but I didn't have a clue of what I needed to do differently until I saw a coach. All of the things I said were basic repeats of what my coach told me. It's good to receive some different point of views. Some people are taking this the wrong way. I am actually on working becoming certified, just school has been keeping me a little too much away from it. Again, no harm meant. The way my coach and I do things is find 3 areas that need to be improved on, and those were the 3 things I could find. Albeit they might be a little nitpicky, but what's the point of trying to better your game than go all the way with it. Again, I apologize.
Joe I apologize as well for attacking you the way I did. I deleted it after I realized that you were doing no wrong. Your armswing is great, I just didn't want anyone to give Kendle a complex about his swing if he happened to read this.
Both of you have very pure armswings, which are rare in younger players today. Most try to unload on it with everything they have, both of you seem to be in complete control through the hitting zone.
Again I apologize, and your analysis was right. I guess I should have put in the original post that I just wanted to share and not get any real coaching...so that was my mistake.

Great game, the kid has.
For a tall kid, his hand at delivery is so low at the line, creating all sorts of power at the release--I can't imagine him bending more, it just wouldn't be natural for his body type.
With practice, this kid is only gonna get so much better.
