@@met4lb4ze 480 - 500

So I observed before that it was in the 420s. What changed? My rev rate hangs around the 430 range myself, so I’m curious to know some of the things you worked on to increase it that much?

@@met4lb4ze the increase came from focusing on increasing my wrist action on the ball at the release point. Keep in mind that two things are needed for a high Rev rate: 1. Your fingers need to be as far under the balls equator as possible. You can do this by resting the ball on your ball side forearm and keeping it there through the swing. 2. How quickly the wrist goes from a cupped power position to an uncupped position. Remember to roll the ball off your hand, don't lift on it. The faster that process occurs, the higher your Rev rate will be.

@@BigSkyBowler I think my problem is I lose a lot of leverage due to where my swing plane puts my ball at release. I could be a lot closer to my ankle. In turn I tend to get off balance and lose a lot of power.

@@met4lb4ze quite possible. Especially if you are trying to use your shoulder to overthrow the ball.

@@raverwithflavor that is awesome! You are very welcome! I am glad it helped.

@@juanc4681 I love it! Part of being a successful two handed is keeping your wrist under the ball at the release. The more interlaced your fingers are, the easier it is to do. You want that ball resting on your forearm through the entire swing.

Thank you!

I'm glad you found it helpful!

5, most professional bowlers are 5 steps with a few exceptions.

You are welcome.

Actually they aren't that old. The owner bought new twister pins the year this video was released.

Thank you! Work hard and you can make the switch no problem!

Each finger hole has a specific pitch that it is drilled to. This is measured to be unique to the bowler. Performance fitting. Finger pitches change how much pressure each finger feels at the release.

I can imagine how unhappy he was!

Without seeing a video, I would guess that your shoulders are rotating horizontally instead of vertically. This is the most common cause of a chicken wing swing.

@@BigSkyBowler thanks for the reply! Is it possible to send u my video?

I can try, but this part is hard to teach. Check out this video: czcams.com/video/cPn6RY5hM7w/video.htmlsi=hchLBSLDTEhQowP7 It's a feeling that you have to develop over time. Try thinking of your arms as the chains on a swing set at a playground. When you are coming up high in a swing, the chains go loose but as you come down, they tighten as gravity pulls your butt into the seat. In the same way your bowling ball acts this way as long as you focus on allowing gravity to do its part in the downswing. You have to feel the weight of the ball in the downswing.

I'm so glad to hear that it helped! I'm glad you found my channel. Thanks for watching.

My current benchmark is the royal diamond from Swag. Symmetrical solid, medium strength.

Not unless you're making that motion occur. The intention here is to place your ball side hand in a power position without having to think about it. Having the non ball side hand in the proper position in front of the ball helps this occur naturally. Thank you for the kind words!

Your welcome! Thank you for the kind words. The best way to spread awareness is to share!

It only goes as high as your range of motion allows. The more spine tilt you have, the higher the swing can be. Back when I made this video my spine tilt wasn't as horizontal as it is now.

Extremely insane! Him and simo both.

Could you do an analysis on Tim Foy? Thanks for your hard work!!@@BigSkyBowler

Your welcome!

Thank you for the compliment! I don't believe anyone has ever told me that. I am very glad that these videos have helped so many. You are very welcome!

Your welcome! Glad it helped!

You are correct on several fronts. The key to a fluid swing motion as a two-hander is ensuring that your ball side arm relaxes in the downswing. To get the ball into the backswing, its a combination of spine tilt and your non-ball side hand assisting. I have done a video discussing this specifically: czcams.com/video/cPn6RY5hM7w/video.html

One handed or two, releasing the ball like a yoyo is the most powerful release.

Pitches for Ring finger: 3/8 right 5/8 reverse Pitches for Middle finger: 3/8 left 1/4 forward

Thank you! You are welcome!

Your welcome! I'm glad they are helping. Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you! Ball weight depends really on several factors. The biggest factors are how old you are and what kind of bowling experience you have. There is nothing wrong with starting with a lower weight to help you get the feel for everything then moving back up in weight once you start to figure things out.

@@BigSkyBowler I'm 50 now, got it, I'll start with 12 then. Thank you!

@@BigSkyBowlerbtw, any recommended ball brand/style?

@@OurAmericanJourney being part of swag, I of course recommend swag balls. The majority of our equipment is very controllable and control is what matters for two handers. Check us out at www.swagbowling.com Our shield series would be the recommendation of a starter ball in 12 lbs of that's the weight you plan to start with. We also have the buzzer beater series, designed specifically for two handers with a 78D coverstock hardness. This allows for the ultimate control.

@@BigSkyBowler I'll check it out! Thanks!

Hello!

Thank you for the compliment! On the spare shooting. The reason we do this is to take the lane completely out of play to give us a higher chance of success in picking these up. When you hook at a spare, your involving more variables that could reduce your chances. With that said, there are some pros to choose to hook at their opposite side spares. In the end, it comes down to being consistent. If you can hook at your opposite side spares and consistently make them on sport conditions, there is no reason to change.

@@BigSkyBowler Thanks for the insight! I can't remember seeing any pro hook into their opposite side spares - everyone seems to go straight at it. But I do find consistent straight shots challenging so I try to minimize that risk (for me) by hooking in. That said, for same-side spares, I'm definitely working on using your method of maintaining the same target and shifting the feet as needed. Cheers again!
