How to Bowl Straight Like the Pros!

[@herbfoster9353]

BINGO! I have been missing right for months. When I realized that I was too open and watched this video, I went out and checked it out: 154, 188, 251, 188! The lanes were dry, so I had lots of miss room on the right. Very encouraging for a 90-year old with a 168 average.

[@folicallychallenged]

nice!! quite impressive for 90 years old

[@TonyfromBham]

Thanks fellows. I’m a 62 year-old lefty straight ball bowler. I threw my first ball about six months ago. Back then I was scoring in the low 60s regularly. Last week, I hit my all-time high of 123. Much of that increase is a result of your tips. This video is going to really help me. I’m sure of that.

[@TonyfromBham]

New all-time high: 135. Thanks guys.

[@noah-3873]

Fellow straight ball lefty here (still a beginner). I'm about to marry into a family of bowlers who averages 220+ every game (and I'm here hitting the left gutter half the time). So a lot is expected of me. Hopefully these tips can help me improve

[@TonyfromBham]

@@syazwans.7082Try not to let the pressure of your new family’s bowling skill intimidate you. Play your game, and expect the big ups & downs that come with learning this great-but-brutal game.

[@johnnylam3644]

As someone who's a lefty and plays pretty straight, Im always envious of righties who hook the entire lane. This video made me smile and really appreciate playing straight. I didn't realize it was as much of a skill as hooking the lane. Keep these videos coming! Look forward to the next!

[@blue_boi6724]

Wdym, I thought the lefties always hook the entire lane.

[@hrsey71]

YES! im also a lefty, and i also play very straight. i have a hard time hooking the ball

[@jaegerbombgaming6635]

I like playing with lefties because I'm a righty who can only play straight also because my wrist will not allow me to hook the lane. So I understand lefties.

[@jefferyboring4410]

I’m right but always played straight because I collected old urethane hammers and I never leave weird stuff it’s usually a 7 or a 10 or a odd 8 pin problem is I’m terrible at spares my house has leagues everyday and I never get to practice spare shooting

[@DinieTheorem]

watch rafiq ismail's matches

[@rickduran4429]

Just started bowling in a league again after 20 years. Obviously I was struggling, and have been lucky to shoot about 110. I found this video 3 weeks ago and have been watching it every week since then 2 or 3 times before my Sunday league. I have been able to get back to my way of throwing the ball which is right up 5 to 10, depending on the night and have been able increase my consistency as well as my game. 2 weeks ago, I shot a 555 series and this past week, not as high still much much better than when I started out. I have been practicing more keeping my hips closed down and just letting the ball basically fall off my hand as Brad suggested. Thanks guys, this has really helped me out A LOT!

[@BNilson1029]

I moved to a new town about a year ago and decided to get into a league after 9 years away from it. I've never had any coaching and i knew my release was weak in terms of rev rate and i realized how much I'd short arm my swing. I've watched many videos trying to learn the yoyo technique, and it just never felt right for me. When I'd get more hook out of the ball, it took me away from what has always worked and felt natural. So i went back to keeping it simple and focused on my follow through. That improvement alone, my average is 224. Last time i bowled league was 9 years ago, my average was 185. It's only been 3 months. I use 1 ball that's 12 years old. It's crazy how much a simple follow through has improved my game. Great video. Keeping it simple pays off.

[@knep24]

Last year in my league, I was really working on getting more revs and hooking the ball harder while still playing ten to seven. This year, I decided to ease up and just let the ball work and shoot around the same line. The difference is fewer splits, more strikes, and a plus 15 in average from 182 to 197.

[@davidsoto1472]

good job, Isn't it amazing when we execute the fundamentals how much better our results are. Being a senior (75), I have lost most of my athletic skills including balance 😞so I have to rely on proper fundamentals to be successful

[@apolaconeagleeye8571]

Good topic. As a senior, bowling on the house shot I found the broken or relaxed wrist along with less open hips works most of time. Have to expect more corner pins but it stays in the pocket more often. You will know on your first practice shot right away if you have to change for the lanes. How much time you have to spend on the game you can do more but this approach definitely makes it less frustrating on the house shot for sure.

[@jrooney58]

Two bowlers who are great to watch for those interested in playing straight are Shannon O’Keefe and Stefanie Johnson on the PWBA. Shannon actually lines up, hips pointing towards the headpin and begins by walking in the direction of the target. That allows her to open up a bit during the swing and yet be squared to the lane at the release. Shannon does this when she’s trying to play an extreme outside line, like 5 board and out. Stephanie doesn’t angle in to as extreme a degree as Shannon, but she is very good at staying square to the foul line throughout her approach and walking straight, something that is hard to do for a lot of modern players.

[@Andrew-hz7hb]

Focused on keeping hips straight and aiming 6 boards right of lead foot tonight after watching this. While my scores werent great as it did feel a bit different than how i normally bowl they were better than they have been the last few weeks as I've been struggling lately.I feel comfortable I can add this to my game. This was a really informative video.

I was struggling with consistency but after I used these tips all 3 of my scores were consistently above my average. I had to move left one board at a time over the course of 3 games.

[@dansbowling8879]

lefty here too and I have the opposite problem Brad and Kyle are showing. I'm great straight. But to open up and hook the lane is hard for me. Guessing cause I only have 275 RPM and slightly speed dominant but aside from that I just don't have confidence throwing it towards the gutter. I need to work on that.

[@AncientSinsOfficial]

Keeping a flatter hand also helps for those who prefer releasing at board 15-17 and only having slight or less than minimal hook. Great videos guys! 🤘

[@mattsmaverick]

Great video, I can't generate a lot of revs and I now realize I have a "leg kickout" which causes me to push left (I throw left) and doesn't get to the pocket. I'm going to work on keeping my left leg quieter to create a more consistent follow through.

[@daverosinski3663]

I throw down the 10 board with an easy hook at the end. Lately my average has been dropping. Bowled 153, 133, way off my game. Finally realized I was coming over the top of the ball.

[@kevinc3673]

The hips/trail leg is something I have really noticed more often, thanks to this video. When I remember to keep my hips squared and not let the trail leg swing too far, I’m striking or just leaving the 10 pin. The SECOND I let that leg swing too far and I’m opening those hips, my ball is going straight to the gutter or at best the 7 pin. Keep up the great videos!

[@ninjawaver]

Love the video! For me bowling straight to pick up spares in where I am in the midst of learning. I find that if I don't do a full back swing and bowl a lil more calm, it really helps me control the ball to hit spares.

[@brigham2250]

I watch these videos to see what I can take away to use in my game (which is two-handed). My biggest problem in bowling -- and I've never seen this covered before -- is this: When I practice, I get my share of 200+ games and also a few lower games, say 170s-190s. However, in league, my game tends to fall apart and I'm too often in the 150s-160s. When I practice I often hit the 10 pin like a pro. Game time, I'm off. Something about being in a game just messes me up. Practice I'm relaxed. In a game, my mind starts to get the better of me. I don't know why.

[@andrewsmith1358]

The mental game is the hardest part of bowling for many people (myself included). For me, it's all about getting a process together that starts in the settee area. Grab your ball the same way, set up your feet the same way, wipe your ball the same way, breathe the same way, count the same way. Anything happens to interrupt, put the ball down and start over.

[@brigham2250]

​@@andrewsmith1358 - Yes, you are absolutely right. I have to work on my mental game. It sounds easy but I have to learn how to chase the negative thoughts from my head during gametime. I get this inner doubting voice that I don't have during practice.

[@ronwalleck9973]

Had rotator cuff surgery as a result my backswing is not very high and can’t generate much speed. Also I tend to chicken wing my elbow. What can I do to play straight.

[@stompingpeak2043]

@@ronwalleck9973 just hold the ball higher when you start your approach and walk faster. You'll throw 20mph with a low backswing. It's all about the momentum of you walking/dropping the ball getting transferred to the ball on release. High backswings are really cool but not required in bowling. Just bringing back around waist height is enough

[@andrewsmith1358]

@@ronwalleck9973 If you need to generate speed, yes, hold the ball higher when you set up. But what you really should do is forget about a high backswing, don't worry about speed, and worry more about your release. You chicken wing because you're bringing your hand around the side of the ball, whereas proper rotation is from staying behind the ball and "flicking" or "yo yoing" the ball. Think of the "yo yo" motion, that's what you want your wrist to be doing. Do some drills where you hold your hand under the ball and let it roll forward off your hand, coming off your thumb first. Then, when you can repeat that with just a small change in grip pressure, add a little arm swing, remembering to keep your hand dead behind the ball. Focus on the feeling of the ball in your hand and on your fingers. Try to repeat that over and over, and then add your approach and do it again. You will come up the back of the ball. You DO NOT need a ton of rotation to hook the ball, that is the point here in this video.

[@brancat67]

Everything they’re saying is spot on, yesterday I was bowling and slowed down how fast and hard I was throwing it and my ball was curving so nicely and even when I thought I missed, slowly found the lane and curved all the way back to the pocket. For reference I have a GameBreaker and a Big Hit. The faster or harder I was throwing it, my ball didn’t have time to react and funny enough I’d throw 12 miles per hour, but the pocket and strike verses hitting the pocket anywhere from 15-18 mph to leave the 10 pin.

I agree with you.. that was a major eye opener

[@rodgerthackeray7978]

I have to lock everything down. Square hips and shoulders, less tilt, less rotation, lock the wrist in a straight position and keep it there. This works pretty good as long as I follow through properly. This is how I learned to bowl and slowly started hooking more of the lane over time.

I usually try to throw a high red shot and never have consistent scores. I thought that because I have a asym ball that I had to live up left and throw a massive hook to get the best pin action. I recently started practicing throwing a straight ball and this video was very helpful. I was still trying to be a bit aggressive and will now start throwing a softer release. I usually average about 160 due to my inconsistent aggressive throw. I am hoping this change to straight will help me have stronger and more consistent hits in the pocket. Thanks for another great video.

Honestly, that whole soft hand thing is a good idea, even when trying to cover more boards. I heard Randy Peterson talking about Pete Weber once...I think Randy said it anyway...Pete said, "if I feel it on my fingers at all," then basically it's not a good shot. Something to that affect anyway. I'm left handed and tend to use much more of the lane than most others even though I'm not a high rev guy. The softer I am with the hand, the better roll and carry I get.

[@michaelsullivan3813]

Great video guys. I’m a straight righty and I do many of these techniques. Happy to see I’m doing it right, in the land of lane hookers at league.

[@kenfeudner4048]

Great video. I have been struggling with this all year. The oil pattern is not allowing me to play 12 to 8 my favorite line. Ball either over hooks because I sent it to far right or goes straight because of oil length or volume of oil from 10 to 10. Now I play 10 to 8 and my thoughts are about setting the ball and rolling the ball. My ball speed is up with less effort and the ball is reacting more consistent. Scores are also up. 678, 667 and 616. Average is finally over 200. Thanks for even more tips to make us more consistent on the lanes.

[@DavidDawson-q8m]

I also tend to use my wrist. If I throw towards a 10 pin I just flatten out my wrist and roll more up the back. But if throwing at a full rack I tend to take off axis tilt and let the ball roll forward more so it’s cleaner hook. I have noticed I bowl better when I keep my wrist up and and pop it off my hand.

[@scottythompson940]

Cool video talk tech bowling brad and Kyle

[@jl4560]

I see something I've never noticed before out in you Brad. It looks like you don't get down in your approach. Bending down low that is. You stand more straight up. I've always tried to get down low to the lane. A few weeks ago I hurt my back at work so I could not bend too well. So I've had to stand more erect at the line and my game has improved because of it. The reason I'm talking about this is I always try to play the shot you are shooting right now. I love the straight Norm Duke style. I'm also using the radical urethane ball so a soft hand lets the ball read sooner just as you say. Great video, keep up the good work.

[@mikelombard21]

"its something getting lost in the modern game as well" - Kyle I never thought about that but its so true. Players like Norm or even Rash who can play straighter are fewer and fewer. Its almost a lost art. Frankie Lavoie is one of the few modern guys I think who can play nice and straight, but also hook it when he needs to.

[@billzwit4064]

Getting your hips to go down the “boards” will relate to your left and right shoulders being down the lane or with the boards. The trail leg has the angle of about 7 o’clock. Anything toward 8 o’clock or 9 o’clock for the trail leg, you lose the leverage on the ball at release. If you make a definite effort to line up hips and shoulders as a set, the slide foot direction will point front to back to the 3 pin or 6 pin.

[@akaNalyd]

[@johnc_450]

I am an old school shooter. Aim between the 8 and 9 pin. Let the ball go soft off the hand and let the ball do the job. If you try to over boss the ball, it will buck like a teenager in puberty. LOL I am now learning to go left and get more aggressive with the release.. avg went up 20 pins and I have a new weapon in my arsenal. Good video gents..

[@mikepackard4266]

To roll the ball straighter I like to hit straight up on the bottom of my release as to spin the ball forward causing a maybe spin forward. Then the weight block takes over down lane. It seems to work well

[@dren4166]

This explains a lot of what I have been doing wrong! Open hips. Should help.

[@jfabritz]

While the modern pro game has lost the soft-hand approach, it is still alive and well in many leagues. As a power stroker, I don't have the rev rate to open my angles significantly, so the best I try for is a soft hand, slower speed, letting the ball do all the work. Great topic. Controlling a reactive ball to throw spares is a top-tier skill, and players at all levels should strive to learn how to do it.

It’s hilarious that peeps literally get mad at me when my left foot finishes at 17 and I throw up 8 with speed around 16.5 throwing a 16 pound ball and carring a 225 average.

I tell them back, it’s a lot easier being accurate when you have your hips squared and not turned, it’s amazing how you make WAY more spares too!! Great video!!

For anyone it is kinda hard to bend an 1/8 inch thick piece of steel. For newer bowlers just buy a robbys wrist brace so there is resistance to getting your hand in a really aggressive spot. I know they are a thing of the past for most, but when I was junior learning to bowl that is what I did. And once I knew what it felt like, now I just lock my wrist into that position myself without it. Am I crazy for thinking this way lol.
