Right on....i have been stuck doing a three step approach and thought was wrong all along. Thank you for the insight. Will also clean my three up but good poing for needing to be near the ball return.
Glad I found this, I've been using a three step as long as I can remember. Someone was trying to teach me a four step...it was fluid but hard to start w/the right
i do a 3 step approach normally trying to 4 feels to weird for me lol
Wtf
@@caftood I've changed completely now, moved to a 5 step 2 handed style now
I'm a 3 step bowler, and I start from the back of the approach. Been working for me since I started over 15 years ago.
Are you 8 ft tall? I would have a hard time just covering that distance in 3 steps, never mind trying to throw a bowling ball.
@@christopherascherl2411 It's 3 big steps, can't explain it. Everything is in sync when I start my move. It feels right for me. I know it's not the norm, but I've done really well bowling like that.
@@jahmalisamuel1032 same for me. I struggle to do 5 step
My first 4 or so years I used a 5 step. Thinking if I take a few steps away, I'd have a few less steps to mess up? lol. The last 16 years I've been 3-step. I have 2 - 300 games, one 5 step, one 3 step. I average over 200 most seasons with 3 step.
Saw Prather do this in the final match at TOC, now you here and you both look slower and much more deliberate at release. I notice your balance at the line is very good, better than your normal. Why do we work so hard at perfecting a 4 or 5 step approach if a 3 step approach works?
Honestly when you said start with your right foot forward it made perfect sense right off the "gun." Cheers JR
Honestly think I will just try 3 steps as my normal approach. My left foot wants to move first but I feel uncoordinated doing 4 steps let alone 5. I'm still at the point of not being able to hit the head pin consistently, less is more for me I'd reckon.
Great tip on the three step move JR! Thanks 🙏🏼
really need this skill.. some time the lane had too much traffic. thank JR..
This is the best breakdown of the 3 step approach...
I always do a 3 step. It works for me.
Good advice. Thanks JR.
I do a three step approach but I do the pushaway with my left foot and my backswing on my right foot step. Anything else just doesn't flow for me.
Thanks for the beautiful tips. Greetings from Belgium.🎳
I literally just started practicing this Wednesday and the pro shop guy told me to slow the ball down by grabbing it a little. It's like going for a loft and you're not trying to get more revs, so grab it a little right before release. And I happened to use on my 8:30 doubles league Thursday during last 2 games of a 4 game series and still bowled my average(179). If I release too early, it hooked early. If I held on for a touch more, I would strike. My average will go down a couple points because of a disastrous 2nd game, which lead me to play in front of the ball return where there was still oil left by early league.
i'm going to try and switch to a 3 step approach. I have always used a 5 step approach, but I have a meniscus tear so the less steps I do the better. Hope to get to the bowling alley in another month as I have not bowled now for hte last 2 months due to my injury.
we do candlepin bowling up here in massachusetts and most people do a 3 step approach.
3-step is very common in small ball bowling like 5, duck and candlepin.
I start at the front dots and have always done 3 steps works great. I’ve tried doing a 5 step about 3 full games and it started feeling ok but I know it will take a lot longer for it to feel normal. Should I just stick with my 3 step. The 5 step did increase my ball speed by a full mph.
But how do you play the 5,6, and 7 arrows for a right hander? I can't throw past the 4th arrow. Tried to do it on the 7 arrows to strike over but can't get past center arrow.
So can i still achieve an effective skid hook roll playing that far left?
Other words will my ball burn out before hitting the pins and maybe even deflect off the pins?
Idk im a noob to bowling and had to play that far but my ball would just die b4 getting to the pins....also i must've left 8 or 9 10 pins that night...lol
I'm doing this in my house and yes it's hard to get tempo right, feels weird but I'm getting it. The wife is looking at me with her "what the hell face" she doesn't understand.....
I always use a 3 step and I stand next to the end of the ball return and always lead with my left foot I guess I just started it this way when I started bowling and I can't do anything else hhaa
I've tried this before I'm not very good at it
I'm a 5-step kinda guy, but when I need to get in front of the ball return, I just side step left while going forward and around the ball return. Works for me. For those rare league nights when the right lane is hooking alot more then the left lane! A guy named Chris patterson did this perfectly and taught me when I used to bowl at Kingswood lanes back in the day!
You're a fucking Scorpion_Ninja! You have six legs! Which legs do you use for the five steps? Do you scurry about?
I'm surprisingly good at this, but I'm never in a position to use it lol
My aproach is very short and i skip one step... so no need of this for me... tried to change it... never could
GREAT VIDEO GREAT EXPLANATION AND BREAKDOWNS
i suggest keeping your same approach. Just take shorter steps. That way your timing/muscle memory stays the same. You do way too much thinking otherwise.
How about counting 4, but stepping on 2 with your left foot? Your first right foot step would be the imaginary one in timing with the ball push. Can't wait to try this, that ball return is in the way on those darn 10 pins.
The ball returns at Tokyo Port Bowl are all the way back so full approach available on every lane lol
I think all ball returns should be off the lane and back in the rest area tbh.
@@frootloops1696 I've always felt that there should be some form of standard. Some of the houses in my town get a little weird with length of ball returns, Like this technique in this video is not possible as the length of the return only allows basically a one step approach. Then a town over some of the lanes have pillars that are right on the edge of the approach, giving less room than if it was a typical ball return. As they are literally far enough into the approach that the furthest dots are not a line that's possible to walk.
I am so glad I'm left handed....
Says the guy who has obviously never bowled a tournament!
I'm left handed, and find myself up against the ball return on normal league nights, and tournaments can get much worse.
I do have the ability to control rotation angle and rev rate, so normally I can stay out of the ball return, but I have had a few tournaments where I have ended over the gutter cap.
@@charlieodom9107 I'm not sure how when alternating lanes that helps you, but ok cool story
@@denmanfite3156 your comment makes no sense whatsoever.
@@harveywallbanger2899 I truly hope you are being facetious. Compared to the guys Jr competes with, I would be cut before the end of the first game. I have a terrible sport shot average (180). My main issue is not being able to practice. I have a pinched nerve on the ulnar side of my wrist which makes bowling more than a few games a week difficult.
@Preston Nelson what is that supposed to mean?
I never did anything but three steps! JR will you marry me? Lol
THIS IS HOW I LEARNED IN 9TH GRADE HIGH SCHOOL
THE SPIN HAS TO START A LITTLE EARLY
