This is gold. Such a small detail, but can make a huge impact. GOLD!
I agree!!!
Thanks for the advice! Have been struggling with this for years. I can do it in no step and 1 step drills but full approach it feels impossible. Will try next practice session.
That's where I am. When I isolate the feeling in a drill, I can do it all day. Full approach? Totally falls apart. Very frustrating.
@@die7foxI feel you there… so frustrating
@@die7fox yeah practiced a bit today and still no luck, my approach is just where i cannot stay under or behind the ball
Thanks JR for this great tip. Body language really makes a big difference. I started out with a 14lb ball as recommended by the shop but I thought the ball was too heavy for my hand which I thought was the reason why I couldn't get hand under ball so I ended-up getting a 2nd 12lb ball. Allowing the ball to fall during the swing allows the momentum of the ball and your hand to get back in position rather than to pull it down and then losing control. Reminds me of the pirate ship ride- once the boat levels out of it's pendulum swing, it's perfectly parallel back to the ground. Makes perfectly sense!
I will try this tonight along with focusing to keep my upper body upright without any lean as well as allowing swing path of ball to be in line with my head. I think this will also fix my tendencies of my arm to go cross-body on release which I think I may also be releasing the ball too late. Too many parts/pieces to put together but after 3 months of bowling it's all starting to make sense now. I do have the yo-yo release now but my rev-rate is so slow. Another problem to fix another time.
Totally makes sense! .. Thanks JR !! .. this is something probably not often thought about. Thank you and Happy Holidays !!!
Thanks. I was having this issue today and couldn’t figure it out. I’ll give your advice a try tomorrow 🎉
I’ve been searching for this exact advice for weeks. Then I stop searching for it and you show up on my feed. 😂 thanks lad. I’m gonna go out tonight and try that.
One of the BEST coaches in the game! I have attended many PBA tournaments, both national and regional, and one of my very favorite victories of all was watching JR when a regional at Pinheads and his son was with him having the time of his life. It was a great day! Thank you JR for sharing this video as once again you are absolutely correct.
So stay low using your knees and not your back 🤯you sir are the best!!!!
Thanks for your input and advice. I’ll definitely look at what I’m doing, and remember what you said the next time I’m in league.
Excellent example! Thank you for posting this!
Thanks so much for this! Looking forward to working on it!
Awesome video!! Thank you!
That’s why I love the foul line or one step drill… it’s hard to pull down or bend over on your shot.
Good stuff JR. Thank you very much.
I knew I should’ve asked you for advice when I was bowling one set of lanes over from you on Saturday in Ionia. I’ve always struggled getting under the ball and I know this will change my game as soon as I can pick it up. Thank you!
It's either your timing or your timing or possibly your timing. When your rhythm is correct everything else gets soooooo much easier.
Omg this is perfect. I just looked at one of my videos and my tilting forward is exactly what I'm doing. Thank you so much for this quick video
this is what i needed.. Thanks you!!!!
Thank you JR for another helpful video
Thanks again let fall and tilt hmmm nice can’t wait til practice
Thankyou Mr. Raymond for the Great Bowling Tips. 👍👍
Excellent advice , I’ve been struggling the past few weeks and felt myself coming up ( and my ball reaction has been atrocious ) . I think you solved my issue JR , thank you !
This made a massive difference for me. Thank you!
Excellent advice. Thanks!
Straight and to the point!!! I like it!!
Great advise. Appreciate it!
Thanks JR, I’ve been watching you for sometime now. Love the tips and lessons and reviews. I’m all the way in Australia. Might send you one of my videos to get some pointers.
Thank you very much appreciated. Excellent teacher
Fantastic explanation of hand position... thank you!!
This helped me tremendously I'm bowling my first season in league we are 15 weeks in and this pass Monday at league I bowled my new personal best I got a 600 scratch and I know there's plenty of room for improvement but it felt good knowing I'm on the right track and improving along the way. Thanks for these videos.
Great video
Full roller help!!!! Love
This is great info I didnt realize that being more upright would do that. I got a pretty high swing that's very free but I know I have always had a fair amount of forward spine tilt. This is something I will try this weekend shout out from hartland
Thanks for this video thought these were all my issues but after buying the TNT Infused the other day, I've come to see that I need bigger inserts. A lot easier with my fingers further into the holes!
Shut down for the Day
Dinner on the way!!
I'm use that!!❤😊
Glad you made a video about this. Also that black widow 2.0 is gonna take a bit to get used to but I love it!
I'm only just trying out hooking the ball and can't get it to work one handed, but I'm absolutely pulling the ball down with my swing like you say, and hadn't even considered letting it drop and to get under/behind the ball like that.. such a simple tip that could really change everything
Thank you
I’ve been looking for reasons that I can’t get under the ball for YEARS… this is the first time hearing this so I will definitely work this into my game 🤘🏼
Thanks JR I'm a 2 hander and just recently decided that I wanted to try 1 handed bowling. Took an idol cosmos and plugged/drilled it with what my pso said was a standard fingertip layout. I can't get the ball to hook for the life of me.
Going to use this advice tonight at league
Nice tip,,,danke!
It was the last detail I feel hit home for me. Because I've notice, that as a lefty, the more I move right with my feet my body instinctually leans a little more forward which I feel allows me to get around it a little easier.
I very much like your videos. I am going to have to try some of your tips and see if it helps. Then I may consider joining your group.
Damn…. I think I have this exact problem. (Amongst many other ones also)( lean forward to far; elbow comes around the ball) thanks for the tips!!
Me 20 years ago: "I want to be a better swing dancer."
My teachers when I was learning how to swing dance: "You need to bend your knees more, it looks better in the dance."
Me: "I racked my knees taking all kinds of ground balls playing baseball as a teen and they don't bend easily anymore."
Me now: "Bowling seems like a nice, low-impact sport I can do into old age. But I can't seem to master getting a lot of hook."
This video: "You need to bend your knees more to get more hook."
Me: "Dammit."
I am going to try this next time I practice. After watching this I now see why I was having issues last time I played. I kept bending my back over slightly during my release 🤦♂️
I have to practice this. I have difficulty getting my hand under the ball and getting a nice curve.
Damn I watch this video 5 times now I get why I stay on top of the ball it’s my tilt and not bending with the knee and lowering my waist
💡 light bulb !! Thank you
Highlighted a number of my faults in the video- thanks for the affirmation.
A question- took a lesson a couple of years ago from USBC silver who had me uncock my hand at address (so fingers below the forearm line) but I don’t know what it was supposed to accomplish - maybe help stay behind it on the push away ?
Have tried unsuccessfully to touch base with him again.
Any idea what that move might do ?
I am bowling better this year.
Thanks !
Why does spine tilt make a difference? Your hand is on top of the ball when it's 45 degrees behind you, but that should be true even if you're upright. What matters is only at the bottom of the swing, right?
What advice would you have for a palm bowler like me?
What if you’ve had your labrum, rotator cuff, clavicle and bicep tendon surgery? I can turn my wrist to the inside but not more than maybe 1”. How can I still keep my hand inside?
JR, i am recovering from back and surgeries and having to bowl with a 1 step approach. I try to stay behind and under the ball but could use some help to improve. Can you help me with this issue?
Cool video talk tech bowling bowling Jr Raymond
Thats totally my problem😔
What about spmeone loke wes mallott? To me it looks like hes coming around the side of rhe ball sometimes...
How far are you from Lotus Lake? Have family in Waterford
Hey what mic are you using?
What you think about wrist support to help stay under the ball? Thank you!

The key to changing is to record yourself on video.
good stuff here, sadly the dungeons I bowl at hook at your toe and getting more under it is not the answer, still having this in your bag of tricks is a good idea when you hit some oil.
I can always feel this thanks to my friend/coach. Will always remember his words of wisdom whenever I leaned too far forward "Fuzzy, get your tits off the lane!" 😂
😂
Sound seems off
It’s never what you think. We always tend to think it’s strength.
I like rhis one to get under the ball this is easy and i know you all going to laugh but its ok in not ever going to chang this i use my pinky finger you do this you'll have a good grip of your ball and more controll of your throwing i done this 50 years like i said I'll never will change rhis
Roll Tide!!!
hmmm. AJ johnson and darren tang and byron smith might be doing it wrong for so long. Marshall H might be wrong too?. You can lean as much as you want but you can't rotate the shoulder to the line. Please send this link to Simonsen, verper and packy. they're all wrong... careful how you heed advice.
You’re joking right? Might consider paying better attention
Thanks for the tip JR! I drop the ball from the top of my swing. I have no issues with keeping my hand under the ball. My 2 cents for folks having this issue... use a lighter ball OR get to the gym and strengthen your arm from shoulder to wrist. Folks who think they can perform optimally w/o working out are mistaken. All the guys on tour are gym rats.
77 and can't bend down much
