Are the 2 finger holes in your bowling ball cut uneven? If so I think you should talk about that. My biggest pet peeve about YT bowlers is they don’t talk anything about drilling holes. Finger grips, etc. I almost broke my wrist bc I was trying to spin the ball without grips.
@BigSkyBowler2 ай бұрын
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.

When I try to rotate my shoulders, it causes the ball to go behind my back, causing chicken wing swing.. How do i fix this?
@BigSkyBowler2 ай бұрын
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.

could you please make a vid about how to straighten your arms on downswing..?
@BigSkyBowler2 ай бұрын
I can try, but this part is hard to teach. Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYHRZ4WPas2Abdksi=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.

This is really good information for any two hander or a coach. One question about having your opposite hand on top of the ball. I believe on the downswing the wrist will cup again before the release.
@BigSkyBowler3 ай бұрын
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!

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.

I have realized that it doesn’t matter if you bend at back “Belmo Simo” swing or not “Troup Jesper“ every pro player unbends the elbow completely at downswing creating a longer arm span. I’m having a problem unbending my elbow, perhaps you can make a tutorial about this. Also I have learned that the swing of the two hand bowling it’s like a magician making a bow to the audience not rotating shoulders keeping shoulders more facing the ground and lifting the ball by using spine tilt, this created more speed, power and consistency in my swing.
@BigSkyBowler4 ай бұрын
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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYHRZ4WPas2Abdk

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.

@@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.

@Incendia5 ай бұрын
Great vids! Watching and digesting all of them to improve my game. Thanks for putting them up! On the topic of spare-shooting, why do pros avoid using their typical strike shot for spares? For example, as a right hander, it seems a lot easier to use a pocket strike shot to shoot pins 1 and 3. For 2, 4, and 7, I move the appropriate number of boards right and then shoot down the same strike shot. I've found hitting left side pins to be pretty consistent this way.
@BigSkyBowler5 ай бұрын
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.
@Incendia5 ай бұрын
@@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!
