Appreciate the compliments Dee! Worked really hard at it for the past 2 years. The first set (Morich Ravage), Black Shirt (Motiv Raptor P7 and Thrash), Last set (Storm Crossroad and Rotogrip Critical Theory) Ending with the Crossroad.

A great ball deserves a little slow-mo action. Lol!

Wow, what a smoothie!  I love how you have absolutely no wasted movement in your delivery.  Very sweet.

Thanks David. I wanted to test my skills at holding the camera so we could start doing video reviews for the shop. Probably won't start until after the big Orbdriller's Scratch Tournament.

Very good video. As was already said, nice smooth approach and release.


Your name of Rightycomplex is appropriate. You definitely attack your shot with a right handed mentality.  :)

I'm not a coach but just from the eye test I wouldn't change a thing. Just focus on spares and different conditions and keep doing what your doing.

I've learned over the years and try and tell others the best thing you can do is film yourself. Film yourself when your throwing the ball great, and film yourself when your throwing the ball bad.

Then you can come back and compare the two and have a great idea of what has changed and what to try and work on.
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

You're far too smooth with too good of a hand release. Everyone's going to watch your form and your release and forget about the balls. Besides unless the balls go 58 feet and then make a right turn, 90% are going to say they're too even reacting.  ???{Sarcasm and irony mode off}

VERY good videos. Would love to see the drillings and have some idea of the oil pattern, if you could? (Mostly the Thrash & the Crossroads)

Do you recall if  you threw the ball slightly firmer in the CR and the CT's session?

RC, are you from Wisconsin?

Cause you're as smooth as butter. I'm with everyone else here. Excellent form, bro.

Thanks guys.

@Kidlost, the biggest issues I have now are just sore muscles from work. Work as an electrician and time in the shop cuts into practice time, so spare shooting and shot making suffer at times. The only thing I'm really looking to change is the plant at the end. I want to be able to slide a little more to create a more consistent release.

@Charlest, On the Thrash, the layout was a 55x4.5"x35 with a hole 1" down the midline. I was slightly firmer with that ball. That vid was taken in the shops house, AMF Walnut Hill in Petersburg and is about the only house in the area that puts out oil.......... and its thick! Lol! Balls in that house just hydroplane. The Crossroad was a 65x4.5"x45, the house is Bowl America Midlothian. The backends are dry so I try to stay a bit inside in the oil. Balls tend to carry better from the inside. The dry from the outside for medium-higher rev players make the ball wrap corners. I think I had pics up on my Photobucket page.

@ Doom, not from Wisconsin but I am a Packer fan. LOL!
