Please look my video
« on: May 26, 2008, 02:38:47 PM »
I haven't bowled in 20 years. My step son and I joined a league and were having a blast.
Any comments or pointers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.....................Jeff

Thank you very much. I think in the second video my push-away was a little late.
I have been trying a 5 step approach too. Seems like I struggle most with my timing.
More comments appreciated.

not much to add on the form, looks decent after 20 years

i would recommend to read some information about the new balls since u dont have to throw it that hard and straight and have a better carry.
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

Basically just the hitch in your push away & a little deeper knee bend at the foul line is what you need to improve on.

Your timing seems better with a 4-step approach than the 5-step.

On the 4-stepper, your pushaway is pretty much coordinated with your first step.  What I would recommend is that instead of dropping the ball then sort of pushing it forward on what appears to be the 2nd step, either just drop the ball on the first without doing what you do on the 2nd step, or push the ball out on the first step (not the 2nd) and just let it swing.  When your pushaway timing gets better, you will be able to focus on getting lower at the line and staying down, allowing you to roll (not loft) the ball out onto the lane, hitting your mark more consistently, and NOT falling off the shot.

I think you shouldn't use a 5-step approach, as your timing is way more off than your 4-step approach, which is natural since more coordination is required for that extra step.

You are already a fine bowler, just practice proper fundamentals and you'll get to be as good as you want to be.
