I would like to see a more visual and explanation of wrist position and how it affects your release. Close up looks

[@camuller0069]

Me too, I was hoping there was some slow mo so I could see what was happening with the wrist and when he was talking about thumb out

[@seanwillis8483]

it isn't so much the wrist but your hand movements and the speed of the ball. Look up more about rev rate and the hand position and you will get some answers.

[@travishanson166]

Wrist should always be behind the ball.

[@ou812true5]

Go to Settings and change playback speed.​@@camuller0069

Yeah I use with #1 straight with Hammer Widow 3.0. Yes I gonna do speed up. When 3rd game start I noticed lanes was getting dry a bit so I use to change a different bowling balls.

[@stevenholland5024]

I play Option 3, I've always hooked it tremendously. With a slower ball speed. I've tried to go straighter, but I just can't change my hand position for that shot. It does make me one dimensional which especially this year has hurt me. I'm having my worst Average year in 20 plus years.

[@ninjawaver]

My go to is usually Option #1 of playong straighter and then adjusting speed depending on what the ball is doing. If that doesn't work i then move to option#2 with slight angle. Im still trying to perfect option #3. I want the Violent Collision for that strategy. Great video 💯🫡

What color shoes are you coming out with next?

[@FinnishArmy]

I have quite an advantage because I'm a left handed bowler, so my oil patterns going to be the most intact no matter what time of the day it is.

[@ou812true5]

Yea, and most lefties aren't very versatile on various patterns.

[@FinnishArmy]

@@ou812true5 I'm just not versatile at all because I'm a beginner loll

[@patrickwall8517]

I'm left handed and have that same advantage as well, all though not always, my team has 6 guys and a sub, sometimes we wind up with 3 lefties on the same night and if the other team has a lefty or two the left side breaks down as quick as the right side,.

[@mtrithart]

There is not only 3 ways to bowl on a house pattern. The house pattern is the most versatile pattern in bowling. It allows practically every style of bowling to be successful. Just got line up and repeat shots.

[@patrickwall8517]

Being a left hander I feel obligated to say that for left handers there's usually not a track area. simply because there're fewer of us. If you want to adjust your speed, remember to keep everything natural, don't grip your ball too tight or try to rare back and force the ball to go faster.

[@superblitz]

Some people say when you move into the pattern to go with a stronger ball to get through the oil. Which is the best option: weaker close to the friction then going stronger or vise versa?

[@Dainslaif]

Honestly, the oil shouldn't change so much that you'd need to make a large jump like that inside of a single 3-game series. You'd be better off just moving in a few boards or balling down than jumping to a completely different line and hoping it plays how you expect. If you really wanted to do that for some reason, your best bet is to start with whichever line more people are playing on, and jump to the one that hasn't been played as much when small adjustments stop working. Personally, I'd either start in the lesser used area and hope it holds out for the night, or start the furthest inside and try to lead the pack.

[@nordattack]

I would not call the demonstrated straight release straight. It was still left to right. When I play house straight I stand on 7 or 8 and target 6 board down and in. That is straight.

[@ThePokersurfer]

In a nutshell how do you hook the ball?

[@pedrojones5270]

Track area with Phaze II, easy 700's all day!

[@ripvanrevs]

I throw a Columbia White Dot straight up 10 board on house shots!

[@ou812true5]

​@@ripvanrevsNot at my house. What do you average; 150? Not bad with a White Dot.

[@aydengianes2515]

How to play straight in house shot is simply getting a jhonny Patraglia or amf majic line 😂

[@ou812true5]

Try that on my house pattern and you'd probably not break 500. Ignorant comment.

[@GameWiz1305]

Appreciate the subtitles but why turn them on and off all the time?? This makes it hard to watch. Either keep it on or don’t have them. Otherwise good video
