Adjusting Hand Positions -

[@trae1965]

Thanks so much Phil for today's RadicalRundown, sir. Guilty as charged here, as I've fallen in the habit of going to my bag when I should be practicing the art of hand positioning. An art that allows me to get the most out of my benchmark of the season while affording me practical options as lane and physical conditions change.

I've been working on hand positions for a while, and have realised that without an effortless swing, no hand position will be consistently repeatable. Get a good, free swing, then first, then play with different hand positions. Great tips here as always.

❤Great advice..even for the player with a ten ball arsenal.❤

Excellent info Phil. I've tested just about all the things you've said today. I have learned to relax more and more and just let the ball work. Bowling with seniors the lanes seem to be pretty less oily and placing more emphasis on making the ball turn is not necessary. Speed and accuracy are more important. These days my average has crept up 10-15 pins over a couple years ago and I'm enjoying it more. If only I could make all my spares, I'd be right where I should have been years ago... :) Thanks for keeping this channel alive!!!!

Changing hand position is always less risky than changing balls as well as making you more versatile

Loved this Phil! Bringing the one ball for practice is pure gold!

Thank you very much

Excellent info, Thanks!

Good info. I am working on three releases and understanding how they play off of each other. I can flatten out my hand and shoot straight at spares w/ any ball in the bag. The thing is that I have to alter my approach a little bit to put my body in position for my hand to be in the correct release position.

Newly drilled Nova, DOA. Change hand position for more rotation angle, BAM flush continuous strikes.

I was just working with my daughter over the weekend on this. She is switching to 2handed and needs to get more behind the ball.

[@UhKimboze]

As a relatively new two hander, I definitely struggled with getting behind the ball, my natural tendency was to get extreme rotation all the way to the side. It was not good, definitely good you’re working with her on it now!

[@RAD-Italia]

My new Storm DNA was not reacting on back end. Tucked pinky and the ball responded quicker off the same pattern. On spares I spread index and pinky untucked to get the ball to go straighter.

I just got back from our state tournament. Changing hand positions helped keep me in the pocket and away from splits and washouts for a few more shots, but I still went through 6 balls in teams and 7 in singles and doubles (6 games in a row) , my urethane balls didn't move at all, so they never made it past practice. My equipment didn't match up well for the conditions. I was playing straight up the boards. Everywhere else I've bowled the last two years I could make some shape, but this house I couldn't. Had I practiced bouncing off the gutter more, I probably could have made some hook work. Hopefully I get picked up by another team before it's over and I can go back and try some different things. I rarely experience what I would call a wall, but the right side walled fast.

Other bowlers are scratching their heads when they find out that I use only one bowling ball during league play and tournaments. I change my hand positions plus moving left, right on the approach and moving my target. Even my spares I use my strike ball and just flatten out my hand, especially my 10 pins!

[@joejimenez5917]

I like to add a piece of tape to the positive access point so I can watch the Tilt and rotation change when I change hand position

[@machinethesun9243]

Old woman here. My practices include 3 hand positions, 3 arrows and the gutter. Played 11 games yesterday in my 6 year old benchmark.

[@jynx1395]

I am more confused now than ever before. I see guys talk about hand positions, and when they demonstrate different hand positions, they don't maintain that position throughout their backswing.

[@hankmancini-w2f]

How about twohanded bowlers 2:50

[@travisfaircloth8341]

We love you Phil, but I have to say that if you really believe what you preach in this video, then you need to get the brands of Brunswick to standardize bowling balls more and not produce so many dang bowling balls. Bowling is hard enough without having to master more than 1 or 2 hand positions. Why wouldn’t we master rolling it the same way and just switch balls? And ball companies love this because it means we’ll buy umpteen different bowling balls if we can afford to do so. It sounds like you believe this needs to change though, correct?
