For cleaners and ball maintenance try some of the creating the difference stuff. My dad has an old taboo jet black since 2012 and it hasn't been thrown since and I have been using creating the difference (ctd) so fresh so clean. Spray it on your reactive balls wait 30 seconds and a chemical called tacifier is put in the ball to replace the plasticizer and make the ball last longer and the ctd trucut grits last anywhere from 3-6 games.

My 3 motiv benchmark balls are the jackal ghost , the alpha jackal , venom shock but I bowl the second squad of the night on the burn on old wood lanes . Thank you this video is definitely my favorite video on the arsenal like the benchmark balls.

Do you drill your own balls andrew how hard is it to do just that

Never change my grips, so half of infinite is still infinite, means, no cleaning, yay

3:17 pause

😂 “I don’t clean my balls very often…” -female laughs in the background-😂 Andrew you are my new favorite bowler!!!

I Don't clean my balls super often 🤣😂👏

Y all these Amateurs telling ppl if u wanna hook a ball do the yo yo move! anyway keep up the work like the videos! and I have the venom shock ball does the black venom hook more then the Original venom

We all clicked on the video to see how you wash your balls ... I mean bowling balls.

Does anybody ever bake their bowling balls anymore

Hey how does that black venom compare to my black widow 2.0 solid?

This is probably going to annoy the diehard Motiv fans, but I am genuinely trying to figure this ball out, so I thought I would ask it here. I just finished my 50th game with my Venom Black, which I purchased on 7/12/24. The pro shop I bought it from is 2 hours away, so it's not easy to visit. Out of box, it had a little bit of hook, but that went away quickly. I have tried 2k, 3k, and 4k finishes. I've tried Hook Monster. I have thrown from 9-20 mph (read at the pins) left-handed and from 1st arrow on the left to 3rd on the right, low tilt, or underhanded (which the PSO said to throw it). For the life of me, I can not figure this ball out. It's squirrelly at best. It typically just goes through the face of the pins and is sort of a straight ball until it decides to squirrel over a few boards. I've even seen it wobble, too. I've gotten some really strange splits and oil patterns. I can't explain them. The layout is 58 x 3 ½ x 53 with a PAP of 4.5 left x 1 7/8 up. I've tried a 3, 4, and 5 step approach. The pro shop operator just says to keep practicing or throw it better. That doesn't really help. I have a top score of 153 for one game. The next was 127. But the average is 98. In comparison, all of my other ball averages are in the 150-198 range. Those are different brands, though. I was really excited to get this ball, being my first Motiv and being the Venom Black, but now not so much. Also, I do try to keep my thumb straight and not grip the Vise inserts. I've also tried tape inside the thumb as well as release tape. Nothing is working. Any helpful advice would greatly be appreciated as I am trying my best to stay positive. But this has never happened before, so I'm lost.

Hey Andrew, I’ve heard you say you give lessons. Your instructional videos have helped me a lot and the way you explain it really clicks a lot better with me. How would I go about getting lessons with you by chance?

I use The One Encore as my benchmark ball.. Probably one of the most consistent balls I’ve thrown..

Everyone is different but I clean after 2 weeks (2 leagues) and resurface once a month

What’s are your finger pitches?

Give me an example of swing thought notes

Great advice! Cashed at tournament last week by keeping my head and not getting emotional, score watching etc and definitely take it seriously

LOL... 'Cle@RLY iTs dont MisS yOur sp@re$'

I know that hand warmer, its great, good quality. Mine also serves as a phone charger. The brand name is Ocoopa. Looks like the one with a built in fast charger is $37. (No I am not getting a kickback)

Andrew every thing you mentioned in this video I’m having trouble with. Literally everything from my ball fit, to the footwork, timing etc literally everything. I’ve been trying to watch videos and teach myself to get better and it’s been better to a point. I need coaching and I’m hoping to get some soon. I’d love to get coaching from you but didn’t know what your schedule and everything is, but the way you explain everything and show everything has been helping me out a lot lately. It’s really sticking in my mind.

There is no leaving your balls in the car too long in Texas in the summer unless you want to bowl with cracked balls. Keep your balls nice and cool. 😂

Good segnent Andrew! It's good to see what's in the bag besides the valls and shoes.

Great video Andrew! You got a lot of shammys😂 Do you think the avg league/ local tourney bowler should swap them out often? If so how often or how many games?

At 17, I carry carry ibuprofen all the time

That is cool that you use trucut from creating the difference.

I like to watch him bowl but they are all always trying to sell bowling balls 😮. I'm using the TNT and ABSOLUTE.

Andrew in your opinion what do we need to do to get bowling in the Olympics?

How do I get a sponsor?

Perry? Who is perry?

This video is so good! Thanks 😊

Andrew, please speak towards identifying transition early and what can be done about it, for the league bowler.

Great topic Andrew! As a 53 years old bowler with only 3 years playing it (yes, I learnt to play it from scratch at 50 two-handed as a sunday hobby), I am chasing the 300 by overcoming the 150's. Mental game and reviewing your basics is crucial for doing so. I think your nailed the title. Last sunday after the bowling school, I was thinking I was stuck in 150's and suddenly, when I was watching your video, I found inspiration to go on and set my new goal: 200, then 250 and then 300. I appreciate so much your time for this.

Thank you, any chance you can do more of the drills with different releases on the rev trainer (this time with the camera on it the whole time?)

Andrew thank you so much for your time and tips on your video training. Unfortunately, I am not able to schedule a session with you this year. I am about to have open heart surgery. I hope you are still there next year around this time.

If you're just learning to bowl, as in averaging under 150, I would not start two-handed. Two-handed bowling requires too much approach speed for a beginner to be accurate. Breaking 150 does mean making spares, which is a lot harder to do with no backswing and / or without a thumb in the ball.

It took me a little over a year to go from 150 to 170s, but then I took some couching, and now I'm at 190 and breaking 200s.

Great idea for video. Please continue series,

Great video! Thanks for the content!

8:40 what are pitches? thanks guys!

Great stuff, Andrew! Excellent tips and explanations!

I aint chasing 150...but I learnt sumn imma add to my game

I love you dude thanks for all the great vids

I’ve been chasing 200 for 8years😭😭

My average is 170 to 180. The biggest problem for me is concentrating when I’m around lousy lazy kids or a family of kids. Man! The number of times kids either throw or drop the ball is ridiculous!

Thanks for the video and for this series. I am new to bowling, having started exactly four months ago. And while I have had several games above 200 (high game of 228), I struggle with consistency. For example, the first time I broke 200, I hit 206. And then followed that up with two games full of splits, scoring in the 150s. It was only earlier this week that I realised that my swing was off (after watching a Kegel training video with a figure 8 swing drill). I kept thinking it was my wrist that was turning on release, resulting in me hitting the target at times, missing to the right or to the left at other times. After trying the figure 8 drill, I bowled two games with the figure 8 swing, and I found that I was hitting my target more consistently, and my axis of rotation was a little better (it used to be very low, or at times ended up being backup). I have to keep practicing, so I look forward to the other videos you'll have in this series.

Great video Andrew, love you game and excited to see you next tour season!!!!!!

As I begin my first year as a college bowling coach, this video (and your others) was very helpful! I really appreciate what you are doing for the sport!

This is so helpful

Thanks for the tips in this video. Will you be doing a pride liberty ball review?
