How To Bowl Better: Hooking a Bowling Ball vs Bowling Straight

[@lawrence7171]

I’m 17 now and I’ve bowled straight up the boards forever and it’s worked but I am realizing that I will need to be able to hook the lane to become more versatile on different patterns and in college. This video helped me out a lot.

[@georget6078]

How has your bolwing career in college went

[@xxmasonxcarl5xx70]

your 19 now have you gotten better

[@ToooManyyCupss]

I'm also 17 and have only bowled straight ever, I hope to learn to hook it soon though.

[@xPandora__]

Another good thing to help playing with straight or hooking it is changing the amount of steps on your approach. doing a 5 step approach over a 4 step will generate more ball speed n power which is good for playing straight but that 4 step will help slow it down for when you need to hook it

[@ms-mo8hl]

I always been straight and will never come out of the closet

[@carlaandreina5554]

Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "where do you aim when bowling a straight ball?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Piylivern Remarkable Predominance - (search on google ) ? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to up your bowling game quickly without the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my co-worker got cool results with it.

The sound Kyle makes in his release is priceless

It goes to show how much effort it takes at the bottom of the swing to generate that amount of revs.

We still talking about bowling?

The sound the ball hitting the pins was priceless... Always did love that sound...

Sounded pretty painful 🤣

[@PinoyBowlerGS92]

My team has several adult bowlers who were straight bowlers and I’m the only straight bowler for the Youth Division lol. But I’m getting ready to throw hook thanks to my wrister or wrist brace.

[@MG-im8ku]

Been in a league about 5 years now as an adult, and back when I was a teen for about 4 years. Always bowled straight lol I dont want to ruin my average learning a new style, and I dont have much free time to put in to practice to curve.

[@MyLocalRock]

new best 279 tonight!!! thank u guys!!! love this video - watch it all the time

[@guardianbowling7379]

I've been looking for something like this to help me with teen masters this year. Can you guys do a vid on hand position.

[@josiahmartinez5179]

Im most impressed with how fast that ball comes back. Be rollin quick

[@flippperboy]

Mike Flannigan had Walter Ray on his program and Walter mentioned most of the kids on tour do not know how to play straight or even know what a fallback shot is. I do not know what a fallback shot is.

Thank you guys so much for helping my bowling game. These videos have made a huge bowling career. Thank you again 😫😫!!!!

I'm sure it will help for me.

i just saw a 3 years old video on bowling and you guys have improved a lot that changes are incredible to watch bro

[@adamkelsey4869]

Hi I'm a lefty and bowl mainly straight with a slight angle I've always noticed that if I have my feet and hips pointed towards the 3pin that I naturally throw slightly left and have a little hook I've tried opening up for more of a hook and never had any luck, I've had nothing but trouble when I've tried opening up my approach and i tend to dump the ball so I've stuck with what I know and it helps and this video has helped me a but to understand the difference between stances and proper approaches.

[@nicholasnguyen6001]

could be your ball

[@mahatmasloth6543]

down and in for the win

[@mr_wavecheck9404]

Can y’all do a video on eye placement and how it can affect your release from looking at dots and arrow please l🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@arcadesunday4592]

Love your work. Awesome technical tips per usual! Cheers !

[@johndee6510]

When you're hooking the ball, do you face your target, push towards your target and walk towards your target? Thanks! Love your vlogs.

[@Bunghole35]

John Dee you want line up your hip and shoulder to the target. You still walk straight but your hip and shoulder are still angled to your target. You don't want push the ball to the target that will cause your arm swing to be inconsistent. Drop the ball under your head and the ball will just follow the. path of your shoulder.

[@johndee6510]

@@Bunghole35 Thank you very much!

[@leslierogers2447]

What kind of ball type and weight distribution should I use for straight bowling I want to get my own ball so I am not stuck with the inconsistency of house balls.

What marker are you throwing at when you hook the ball?

[@saschajansen7231]

Love these guys ! Cheers from Germany

[@nocturnalmayhem0]

sometimes straight is the key especially if the lanes are beyond your skill level

[@plcreator483]

Also how do people throw the ball while standing on one leg while while walking or running up to the lane without falling. Like to be honest that is super dangerous just in my opinion.

[@aaronteafatiller6470]

Great vid guys!! Love what y’all have done for the sport!! Keep up the good work

Thanks brad and Kyle

How do guys feel about flattening out the hand to throw a straight ball. I’ve only learned how to do that for picking up spares.

From a speed dominant/rev dominant guy, straighter is almost always greater.

[@donm6578]

Finally an AllRoad makes it to somebody's video

[@sportsfntc]

Interesting at the end - you put "less grab" for both, which is a problem I have whether I'm trying to go straight (A game) or hook it (B-C , ah hell, F game). Opening up on stance is a great reminder. Thanks!

[@boilerdawg]

Finally!

[@bobhennig6597]

Please explain your tec or pro language. Most folks don't know what your saying. Like your hips open , what does that even mean shoulders open up?

[@amar9462]

My stride only allows for a four step or sometimes three

[@colinstate]

You done even have try to hook the ball when you’re throwing through. Just use your dominant hand and it will spin in a bit

I need alot of help I wish u guys could watch me on what i need to do if u guys have any social media plz lmk cause I want to learn more

Am I missing something about bowling? I play once a year and I hit 180 playing straight and I can hit even more with practice. Why is playing straight so hard? Curving is more hard for me tbh

[@ethanbyrd5637]

I look at my target board area

he takin dis shii to serious dawg

[@ralphcaravello330]

You need the camera behind you, not to the side. Need to see the best perspective from what the bowler is looking at. The side angle is useless. Can’t see or learn anything.

[@bowlerkyqe3008]

Please give me a heart!!! Love u guys

[@leegately3590]

Probably best to put your camera pointed down the lane rather than chasing the ball with the camera.

Just wonderful, I have been researching "how to get a strike in bowling every time" for a while now, and I think this has helped.

[@innoutsucks___3016]

Intro music is trash. Trust.

[@rickyrick9328]

If you're throwing straight and the ball goes to the right, simply move your body over two boards to the right and throw normally. If it goes left, move two boards to the left.

[@sarax5463]

[@Travisthesigma]

[@therayven3147]

Ok. Here's how I see it... The optimal angle to get a strike is about, if my memory serves correctly, is about six degrees... But to do that throwing straight is that you would have to throw from the lane next to you about a third of the way across... But then you would have to throw over the gutters and all that so it would be nearly impossible... Plus, when you straight bowl, you risk "dead hitting" the head pin... Meaning you hit the head pin straight on... It increases the chances of leaving "splits", including the dreaded "7-10" split... With straight bowling, you throw the ball as hard and as fast as you can, causing the pins to react violently and just pray they all fall over... With "hook" bowling, it requires more finesse... Less speed and power, and more science and mathematics are involved... But hook bowling would bring better results once you get the feel for it... Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is coming from studying lots of "bowling science" over the years...

[@knep24]

Shot a 276 a couple weeks ago on that exact lane playing extremely straight. Just had an old 16 lbs reactive that couldn't move and threw it as hard as I could and it worked.

[@DevDog98]

if it works it works. being fancy isnt always better

[@natrixxvision6997]

When I think of playing straight, the first thing that comes to mind is shooting spares.

[@cybersteel8]

You didn't talk about your target on the lane for each method

[@erikthorstensen5185]

In my form of bowling,candlepin, the lanes a rarely oiled! Lets face it a 2.6 lbs ball isn't going to do much damage! However, hooking the ball is extremely difficult in my game,although it might be necessary on the second, or third ball. Yes we get three rolls per frame. Also in candlepin, the downed pins are not removed after every shot. This can help,or hurt if shooting a spare, or ten box! For example,7-10 splits are converted all the time,because of the deadwood! For a good first ball,speed a accuracy are key! My hardest ball I can roll is 38 mph! You hit the sweet spot, our skinny tall pins fly! But of an inch or so can be a strike,or just punching the 2 or 3 pins out,alone! That's why in candlepin there has never been a perfect 300 game ever! I would love to see a reaction video of pro ten pinners watching our game here in New England! Watch Paul Burger's 500 series from a tv show from 1991 on KZbin!

Thanks for having that late night tourney

[@ubernate860]

I just realized Brad's head is shaped like a bowling ball. They should call him ball bean Brad

[@GENOSANDIEGO]

My comfort zone is actually standing somewhere between 15-20th board with target varying between 8th to 12th board depending on how hooky the outside area is. That's pretty damn straight!
