New Video, need some thoughts
« on: November 24, 2008, 09:17:03 AM »
Here's a couple shots from league the other day. I decided to go with these because I felt they're my better ones, physically. Although, it seemed like I lost balance on the second shot a little after release.

Anyways, let me know what you guys think. A big concern is my timing/footwork. It feels(and I bet you can even see it) like my third step is a problem. It's rather quick like I'm trying to catch myself or something, but I don't feel like I'm falling. Can anyone comment on this especially? It's been bothering me, making me feel like my steps are 1-2 1-2 in a 4-step. I'd like to be more fluid.

i agree with noturcuzin. other than keeping your body down until your ball hits the pins very good. whats with the brace?

does he have a bad wrist, does he use it to keep his wrist straight.

I'll try to get some from the side in the near future, I might need a person with me to do it though, which I normally don't have.

I don't necessarily have a bad wrist, the brace is just to keep it straight because it's on the weaker side.  My fingers are above the equator without it and instead of doing extra work to get them in a good position I figured I'd wear a brace.  

I agree that my swing alignment needs improvement.  akbowler, you're correct that it's off to the left.

Kevin, thanks for the compliment.  I take some pride in the fact that I don't really drift.  But I think if I took my second step in front of my first to clear the hip more, I would drift some.

Got another video while at the lanes today.  I was working on a few things so let me know what you think.

P.S. Sorry if it's a bad view but I wanted to keep the camera close by since it was kinda busy there.

Edit: I don't know what happened but some how my shots kept skipping between 1:05 and 2:45.
