@@20alphabet Earl had a lot of respect for Marshall. Personally try to be myself when bowling, while emulating a combination of both Earl's & Marshall's sound fundamentals into my game. This is why I frequently watch Earl's & Marshall's instructional videos, as well as their numerous national TV appearances from the PBA Tour during their heyday!
@@LANESxNOWONLYx By "emulate" I'm sure he meant pattern after... not different than learning language. Can you imagine a teacher showing you how to make the proper sound, only to be answered with "I'm just being myself."? However hard you try to copy someone's armswing, follw-through, footwork, it won't be the same. Mark Baker with Marshalls footwork would be as ridiculous as Johnny Petraglia creeping up on the foul line Don Carter style. Yet Don Johnsons arm was just as perfect a pendulum as Dick Webers, and the two approaches bear no resemblance to each other. So rather than trying to maintain individuality, try to improve by perfecting the basics the greats had perfected. 😃
@@20alphabet Essentially, have been spending this entire past decade attempting to perfect the basics & fundamentals that the greatest professional bowlers in the world have perfected. Strive to emulate each movement in my approach after many of the PBA's greatest stars. What was meant by being myself is that I'm unable to Carbon Copy another bowler, kinetically, from stance to delivery. My desire is to indeed emulate the basics & fundamentals of the greatest. As you said, each of the great bowlers you mentioned were fundamentally sound, yet weren't Carbon Copies of each other. Do believe this is what I meant with emulation relating to being oneself.
@@LANESxNOWONLYx If you can, carbon copy Barry Ashers fourth step dwell, Marshall Holmans release during slide, Dick Webers armswing, Earl Anthonys 10' accuracy, and Jim Stefanichs extension and follw-through. Perfect that with your particular frame an musculature and you'll resemble no one else. And GET THOSE BOOKS!
John Jowdy & Marshall Holman, together, providing us advanced bowlers with one of the best bowling instructional videos I've ever seen in my life. Watch this video over & over again to keep these 5 fundamentals embossed in my mind! An eternally invaluable video for any serious, competitive scratch bowler.
@@irishpogi Bill Taylor was a gem. Had the sanctioning body listened to him, bowling establishments would still be 24hr houses packed with shift leagues... in my opinion.
@@20alphabet Really? Have heard of Bill Taylor, don't know anything about him. Will have to do some research & learn about Bill Taylor. Thanx for the info!
@@LANESxNOWONLYx He wrote a few books on bowling, try to get them. Your bowling will improve without a doubt. Glenn Allison was one of his numerous professional bowler students, as was Dick Weber.
i'm gonna try marshall's technique of starting everything low, it looks like less margin of error. i've always started with the ball about chest high and body more upright. i'm 72 now and it might help.
As a newer bowler, this has been the most helpful video I have seen. I have had lessons and the techniques in this video are almost verbatim to what I have been taught.
Jowdy had some great tips and some not so great, his over the bar then under the bar tip totally screwed my game up for years causing me late timing, once you put the ball into swing a certain way its super hard to change.
Not one house I have been in the last 5 years would have a approach area that is slick enough to allow that much slide even with the most slick pad on my shoe. Them old alleys were just special back then lol.
REPETITION, REPETITION! A must for rhythm & tempo. Found the extra 30 minutes worth it to instill this most necessary fundamental of, professional level, bowling into my mind.
@@Bunghole35 Thank you for the clarification. Wow, what a wonderful experience you had. 3 lessons with the greatest bowling coach of them all IMHO! Keep the memory alive! Only wish to have had the same experience. How well did your bowling game develop after your 3 lessons?
I see different pin action in each segment! Also Holman was one of the model bowlers in the SyberVision bowling module, where visual repetition is a key learning device. Plus Marshall was a machine, although there was one shot here he double-dribbled and sent wide, and another where he almost left the 9-pin.
Wish to be able to emulate billions of shots exactly like the ones Marshall Holman executed in this video. That is, 5 out of his 6 shots, not the one he hit up on!
These fundamentals are eternal gold in application.
YOU SAID IT ALL!
Marshall Holman had the most beautiful throw in the history of bowling. This is hard to replicate, but still good advice. Great video.
Marshall's toss might have been the most beautiful; however, Earl Anthony's toss was the most graceful!
I bowl better than him...
Jowdy teaches a 4 step approach
with putting the ball in the bucket...
Its is true that the ring finger is an important part to the ball rotation.
what if you don't slide
seeing a great bowler never gets old!
I follow your delivery in my game!
Thanks Marshall!
Marshall Holman bowled like poetry
Earl Anthony agreed with you. He said that Marshall Holmans was the form to emulate.

His slide is awesome
@@andrewcarleo6464 That is what I wonder. Synthetics are totally different.
Agree, well kept wood approaches did provide a much better sliding surface than modern synthetics.
John Jowdy and Marshall Holman... quality instruction ensues! John Jowdy is greatly missed!
So is Bill Taylor. He passed away close to 10 years ago

Would love to see Marshall try that slide here in Florida on Synthetic approaches, lol can you say I'm withdrawing from the tournament! lol
Very helpful. Thank you.
John jowdy..what a fantastic man and coach
He was the best!! Will ask him to be my eternal bowling coach when I join him heaven!
Meant to say, "in Heaven"!

Marshall Homan,Norm Duke,W3 & co. during their early years are the best!
The best instructional bowling vídeo by far!
Not the best, but definitely among the best!
One could argue, that's for sure!

you didn't understand what he was teaching?
@@stevensimmons4283 as someone who's been around it my whole life and a pba member I'd disagree
That slide though!
This is my go-to video. Awesome stuff? And He has copied my form, can you believe it.
I became additiced , Lead me to a 300 game...It was so easy..Thanks
Not one house I have been in the last 5 years would have a approach area that is slick enough to allow that much slide even with the most slick pad on my shoe. Them old alleys were just special back then lol.
Anyone , how do you get a high enough back swing holding the ball so low in the set up ?
His head is downwards
In your mind, how high is "high enough"? - Shoulder? - Vertical? - Somewhere in between?
excellent video. I bought and had it in VHS until the tape broke. Thanks for sharing
Can't believe he can get the ball over the foul line
What year was this?
I used to own this. Great stuff. I appreciated the repetition. Watch it, focus on it, and let it sink into your brain. Almost like hypnosis.
Merely training.
@sprocket454: Couldn't agree with you more!
A 45 minute video that could have been condensed down to 15. I guess they really wanted to stretch that $19.99 😂. Still enjoyed watching Holman bowl.

John was an fan of the 4 step. He stressed more power by the 4 step.
Them NIKE bowling shoes tho
Circa 1987!!!
Nike bowling shoes?
Yes, Nike briefly made bowling shoes.
You can find them sometimes on Ebay.
Staff!
I feel a little guilty getting to watch this for free Marshall but I’m not sending you $19.99
Ronald Harris no need.
Those $19.99 are like $300 in today's money.
Bowling lessons like this for what we're paying now? The ultimate bargain!
I would hit my ankle with the ball ..instant gutter ball 😫
Coach John Jowdy was Jahova!!!
???

Same shoot repeated 1 billion times 😟!!!
