This is excellent advise that I will apply to my game.

[@danielwelsh4503]

Great video as always! I wonder if w will ever see Mike on the PBA 50 tour in a couple years? That would be awesome to see! Thanks for the great content!

[@StephRenee812]

Mike is the man. Thank you both

Wish you'd shown a deep inside shot. I've really just mastered walking up the boards and have trouble knowing exactly how much to turn the hips, etc toward where you think the direction of the target arrow will be when you get to the foul line.

[@Overcomer1960]

Thanks for the info regarding setup. But, one thing that is not clear. If I’m shooting at a 10 pin, and my feet hips and shoulders are pointing toward my target does that mean I’m not walking straight to the foul line but towards the target instead ?

[@ConquerCollin]

A tank can drive straight while the turret is aimed at anything

[@SomeGuyTHPS]

How do you create launch angle if you always start with your arm parallel to the approach and also keep your swing within the same plane throughout the approach? Wouldn't you always release it straight up the boards doing it that way? Does your swing change direction at the point of release?

[@ArcticLemming00]

This is a good question, as my bowling coach encouraged the push out to deal with opening up angles. So, I am also interested in the answer. But initial thoughts, though, are that since you should start aligned toward your target, you should finish with your body oriented toward your target as well. That would mean a swing that follows your body will end up angled out toward your target. I know some folks encourage a few board drift (to the right for righties) so that you are ensuring you are moving toward your target and thus pointing your chest that way at release.

[@BowlingHeyday]

Mike M. always had a good swing plane. His technique of the push away is very downward but as the swing gets past the hip going back, he is free wheeling it but helps it get a decent peak. Then the forward swing he just waits for the ball to come off the thumb and a counter clockwise hand/ wrist exit the fingers at about 70 degrees tilt. He has the option to back off this wrist/ hand action by less projection of ball into lane. All of the reading of the ball is down lane about 50 feet from head pin.

[@BowlingHeyday]

Machuga is playing up the boards just like bowling should be. He is in such good time that the ball floats off of the hand. Thumb comes out at ankle while fingers lift ball to arrows. It is easier to read lane patterns by crossing as less boards as possible. An effective roll on the ball gets the pins off the deck. That seemed about 15 -16 mph. The revs is about 14. That will keep any bowler in the hunt across the house from game to game.

[@Pend2027]

“Thumb comes out at ankle” great advice. Many are unaware of this tidbit.

[@40beretta1]

4"C"..... consistent setup; Consistent Arm swing: Consistent approach and Consistent release. There is a little tidbit that is NEVER discussed on the approach... the fade. If your target is 12 board... and you line up on, say 15... you will or better fade to the Left (RH release)... and slide on say 22 - 25 and release across 15 and extend the slide to 10 for to hook back and roll at 12... if you are a high rev bowler.... I'm shure you know this little known fade... this is especially important for spares

[@Pend2027]

Huh?

[@guyrich6467]

why not line up on 22 to start with?

[@chrisadams7612]

That's why I don't line just with my starting point. I walk to a point at the fowl line. Knowing that my slot is where my right foot would be if I was standing up at the line

[@fang-SEA]

👍

[@johnrichardson6033]

I’m a no thumb bowler. Should these setup tips help with my accuracy? I usually struggle with consistently hitting my targets. I stand around 23-25. Aim for about 15. Then down lane at about 8.

[@brianschumaker5912]

My problem is pulling the ball to the left. For instance, i can throw 3 in a row and get the ball to go to the right. Then a flat out pull and miss my mark by 5 to 7 boards.

[@iaretzeee]

same, its almost like my right shoulder drops and caves inwards and my ball just goes way left, any tips?

[@NickStAndre]

Do you pull the ball down on your backswing? Sometimes that can cause you to tug it left

[@iaretzeee]

@@NickStAndre yep i think thats the issue, i guess from an unnatural swing plane (2handed rh) - im trying to figure out if a bent arm or straight arm backswing is more optimal, gotta play around for sure! appreciate the insight though 🫡❤️

[@NickStAndre]

@@iaretzeee Either way, you gotta keep your hand under the ball on release to get the successful yoyo release which most people (even 1h) do by bending the elbow near the end of their release. I say whichever swing is easier for you to keep your hand underneath the ball is the move.

[@brianschumaker5912]

@@NickStAndre Possible. I try my best to just let gravity do the work.

[@alexmerel9924]

Good ball placement NOT PUSH AWAY

[@Jason_P]

Most pros today have their hips WIDE OPEN for every shot, even if they're playing straight up the lane. Their hips are pointed straight at the gutter when they play up the lane and their swing comes across their body. This goes against what you say here to have the hips lined up with the target. Please explain why they do this.

[@tamecadell]

What I need to know is, does the same thing go for a one hand no thumb bowler?

[@janderson8401]

It should work for them as well. Their backswing will just be shorter

[@kenz526]

Is everyone on this channel named Mike?

[@insidebowling]

Yes actually!

[@bradhariegle2475]

Head doesn't move

[@lonestarpatriot876]

Yea, it is easy. Just do it, and you will never miss. 😂

[@anthonydorazio9650]

Thank you 😊
