Keep your Elbow and Hand Inside the Bowling Ball Longer for a Stronger Release

[@CrazyChris1274]

I did what you said and it really helped during league last night. I wound up shooting 186, 233, 247, and 224 for a 890 series

[@frankformella6834]

Foul line drill yes thanks

[@tino5735]

Lately, I've noticed a lot of tilt on my ball. The track has been super low and it hasn't been reading the lane early enough. After seeing this video I spent two hours in practice yesterday working on the position of my elbow and the amount of forward lean I have in my delivery. It's already made a big difference. Thanks for posting this tip!

[@butterfly23faith84]

I would like to see more training techniques please!! Your so good at teaching!

[@StephRenee812]

I always come back to your videos, between you and some of the guys at league have helped me understand. I was on top of the ball with no rotation with a little tilt, my ball would be, end over end forward rolling, north pole, south pole rolling, it drove me nuts. I'm finally getting there and can tell by my oil track and my ball motion. Thank you for all you do you are appreciated

[@DavidHaywood-gc4yd]

excellent video showed me why I have been so inconsistent thanks Mr Raymond

[@ItsLevell]

This is something that I've been working diligiently on for the past couple of weeks. And boy has it made a world of difference in my overall consistency! Great advice for anyone looking to become more consistant.

[@jameslemons7304]

Same here. This is one of the best views of how the hand position is supposed to be. Index finger pointed at the floor, knuckles of the Middle and Ring finger towards the floor as well. I don't think I consciously turn the my hand at the end, though I suspect that is happening naturally. The difference in my ball roll when I do this right is phenomenal. The more I keep my elbow in, which keeps the ball nearer my ankle at release, the WIDER and LONGER the ball travels at the breakpoint, then has a more pronounced break combined with a more forward roll than sideways roll. Yesterday, game 6 of a doubles/singles event, I pulled out my Radical Xeno solid. Lined up on 30, aiming 12, break around 5. Twice got it out to 3, had the strangest hold there, it looked like it would straightened up for 2-3 ft before darting to the pocket. The normal BP just turned at the BP. Shot a 276, 3rd best game of my life. Shot a 277 Friday night maintaining the same elbow positioning with a Brunswick Edge solid. My problem is, I don't have this motion as muscle memory after 40ish years of other ways starting with full roller. I've been working with a coach since March, and what JR is showing here is the 3rd thing he taught me, after correcting my timing and footwork. It feels weird, yet the results speak for themselves when you see the ball roll. So for those of you without 40 yrs of baggage, hopefully your muscle memory takes less time to lock in :)

[@SHADOWMAN_24]

Very helpful. Lookin forward to getting a lesson session from you.

[@StephRenee812]

Put a hand towel or beanie between your body and elbow or inside of arm when you are in your stance and do your 4 or 5 step which ever it will fall out once you get to your swing but it will help. I saw Danielle McKuin doing it and I tried. I haven't tried it at the foul line yet to see what it helps with there.

[@RossanoVolgarino-tb1vp]

Really good user easy instruction. Thank you

[@brandygates6583]

Thank You for your his video because I’m double jointed in my elbow I struggled with the chicken wing problem for a really long time. Finally found something that worked for me though to help me deal with it

[@carljay8226]

Really enjoy your tutorials JR. Makes sense

[@scenicmyles]

Great video and well done explaining the good and bad releases!

[@StephRenee812]

How do we knownof we have a good fit? How should my hand look in the ball how should my fingers and thumb fit in the ball.

[@frankhughes9580]

Great lesson! Thank so much!👍👍👍

[@dominicsuffolk2558]

Hey thanks for all your help

[@bowlingaddictionmx]

thanks for this video i try on this week..

[@bobbyscott3825]

good info. I have been struggling with release. Cant figure out what happened but this video is very helpful.

[@AndresCuervoArt]

This is gotta be the better hook the ball video, my hook always goes crazy overhook and lack of speed and didn’t noticed I’m rotating with the outside part of the ball 😮

[@iBryaaannnn]

This should be helpful as a one hand beginner like myself, having bowled casually with 2 fingers for years, I find myself “chicken winging” my swing & also pulling my backswing

[@phillipvazquez284]

Hey jr. I wanted to ask you do you think the bowling balls could be to heavy for me if im having trouble keeping my form straight during my swing its not always just sometimes im 5,11 50 and 205 lbs useing a 16lbs its been several yrs i didn't bowl so im just getting back into the game and also developing knee pain. I have physical therapy and getting better . And i practice 2 to 3 time a week

[@MarcoLiftz]

thanks for the tips bro gonna use these when i bowl tomorrow

[@kellyfrancis4397]

Hello, so when I keep my elbow in tight I am unable to get my ball further down the lane to keep it from going left of the headpin.🤔any ideas?? I am currently throwing a Hammer black widow pearl. Thx Kelly

[@clarencewilliams764]

It appears that your wrist is cupped, which allows your hand/fingers to be under the equator of the ball. During the release motion, do you rotate your wrist then uncupp? Would be help to see the uncupping of the wrist in slow motion. I'm thinking, at the bottom of the swing on the way up, the uncupping motion is basically as the heel the wrist goes forward, the weight of the ball transfer from the heel of the palm to the fingers.

[@butterfly23faith84]

Thank you !!!

[@robertfrost2652]

Thanks Great advice!!

[@joypeak]

"Keep your elbow on the inside otherwise youre gonna have a bad time mmm kayyy..." Was what i was thinking :D But seriusly though, thanks for the tip 👍

[@michaelbutny7020]

Another great video!!!!!!!

[@noelljackson6288]

Thanks man your awesome

[@frankformella6834]

Looks easy but I still come over top will try really think elbow in thanks luv tips

[@StephRenee812]

Push your pointer finger press it into the ball push it that helped me. Also, practice the no-step drill just holding the ball at home and get into your finish position and work on holding the ball before its released. I dod this at home my wrist was weak and it helped. I am 104 pounds and use a 15lb now. But I've been using 16lb now at home to just help build my hand and arm and so on. Just thought I'd share. It's taken me forever to understand but I'm getting there. You will get it and you will think duh, it wasn't even that hard.

[@frankformella6834]

@@StephRenee812 thanks again I’m working on it.

[@davelee3360]

Great video very informative!!!

[@hmt004]

Thanks I couldn’t figure out why I was trying to force my ball to rotate. It’s my elbow turning my ball and then ending up on top of my ball

[@Samuelnahm]

That's a great tip....ty

Tim Hurst told me this some 20, or so, years ago.

[@scottythompson940]

Cool video talk tech bowling Jr Raymond

[@KahKiatTan]

What about we rest our elbow onto our stomach during the stance, will it make our hand more close to our body with the habit?

[@JonathanPlachta]

I keep trying this & I am constantly throwing it in the right gutter

[@tonyguerrier2258]

I keep hearing about the “new modern” release and how at release you’re actually flipping the hand like you’re flipping a yo yo. Is this your take and or feel?

Why are standing all the way left and aiming the ball between 20 and fifteen arrow?

[@tonyharlin1997]

Thanks I will try this

[@jefferydaniels6717]

Scary to already see dents in the new lane surface .....

[@benh1356]

Does the same thing apply to 2 handers and no thumb bowlers

[@TrandafirRuby]

It's similar, but we are even further below the equator since we don't have the restriction of the thumb. Can get the hand as inside as you comfortably can and still have forward roll.

[@Jesusfanatic0711]

Yes in a way also your more positioning ur body tilt toward ur bowling arm to clear the hip as well better but keeping the elbow tucked

[@pokiis3of10]

can you take a look at Cho Young Seon's release from his channel "Bowling Mania"? he seems to have a release that skips being inside of the ball, unless I'm seeing it wrong

[@Bill-uo6cm]

In slow motion, he does exactly what he says you shouldn’t do.

[@machinethesun9243]

For some reason I do this naturally when shooting 10 pins standing on the far left side of the lane, but the farther right I stand, it goes away.

[@rotoryan]

Because you’re not trying to hook the ball when throwing straight therefore you won’t try to “help” it hook

[@machinethesun9243]
