How To Hook A Bowling Ball | Analyzing The Bowling Release For More Revs

[@sgh1761]

You could do an entire video about how the guy in the gray tucks his wrist during his downswing and unloads at bottom. This would be a lot more helpful than your singing bowling ball.

[@gregriba6896]

Yup....

[@saiverx]

@@sriley064 Well Art of Bowling is mostly directed towars the younger generation, I am sure... Don't think they mean for people of 30+ age to enjoy the singing bowling ball :P But it's a nice twist to the standard videos of one guy talking in a monotone voice about how you should handle a bowling ball. Imagine showing that to children/teenagers compared to this video!

[@davidmister8037]

Shane Riley think you take offence a bit too easily fella 😂 smoke some weed or something. I agree though, the time spent wasted on the singing bowling ball could’ve been used more productively.

[@lilisteven7434]

This is just superb, I've been looking for "how to choose a bowling ball at the alley" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Piylivern Remarkable Predominance - (just google it ) ? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to up your bowling game quickly without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend got amazing success with it.

[@Tea_Scott]

Agreed, I was thinking the same thing. I appreciate comedies but when I’m trying to learn something I’d prefer seriousness and informative over Revless Presley

[@racrx7]

I hope this will help me as I’m really having a hard time properly releasing the ball. Thanks 👍🏻

[@surroundedbyjaggoffs]

I've tried this release , for some reason it put too much stress on my lower back causing spasms but the ball worked great for the one game + one frame I was able!!!!

[@jrazor28]

Jr Raymond also teaches this and had me practice this at the clinic here in Vegas this past Sunday. Also Phil platko had me do one step drills with this and I stood right around the first arrow on the left side when doing it. My ball went into the pocket every time. Now just got to translate that into a full release

[@tyronejackson1150]

I use a trainer soft ball ( weighted 1 to 3 lbs) to practice my release. Rolling the ball off the fingers as I toss it straight up and catch. Keep it up Art..

[@davew4262]

A yo-yo is released with a backward arm action and on the downswing of the wrist. The bowling ball arm and hand is going forward. Two apparently opposite directions. What am I missing in order to apply the yo-yo swing and release to bowling?

[@TheKnealing]

Where can I get my hands on one of those cool release trainers with the rollers

[@ArtOfBowling]

[@mk0879vg]

Couple things: Your left handed bowler is bending the heck out of his elbow at 3:50 and probably doing so to be able to get hand under ball at release point. This video seems to assume a bowler may be able to cup their wrist into the release point to keep hand under ball, but they may not be able to do so with a straightened elbow.

I cant get hook down. I wonder if it's my ball because I have a proper release and my ball does the motion going down the lane that should make it hook, but it just goes straight while spinning in the motion. So my question is, does the coverstock really matter that much or is it my release

[@ArtOfBowling]

Yes it matters a lot, also if your ball needs a good cleaning or even a resurface.

[@bobbyrichie2495]

[@Saii158]

So. Why I can't get my wrist "loaded"? is becaus I don't have my own ball?

[@katiej5051]

Hi I have a quesion... you said you have to " snap" your wrist when you release . I thought that you dont want to break (bend backward) your wrist when bowling? I'm a little confused.

[@ArtOfBowling]

This is the "new" release getting snapping the wrist gets the thumb out of the ball faster and creates more rev rate. Like EJ Tackett.

Do the USBC rules allow throwing a bowling ball that has no holes? It works well for my league for spares but I have been unable to find out if it is legal in tournaments.

[@goobytron2888]

I know this is old. But seems unanswered. You don’t have to have holes. But the ball must be marked in some way to show your hand orientation. So have to put your hand in the same place every release, for the same reason a bowler with holes has to use the holes. I don’t necessarily agree with it. But I think that as a ambidextrous person I should be allow to shoot 10 pins left handed and 7 pins right handed. It’s not an unnatural ability and anyone could train to do it.

Try putting pressure on your index finger as your wrist is cupped, then releasing finger as it unloads. This may help your pain

[@drwisdom1]

Having bowled in league for 40 years this is my theory of hooking - you buy hook in the pro shop and then all you have to do is roll it in the right direction with the right speed. In the old days balls barely hooked and you had to stand on the right and throw it towards the pocket. If you pulled it and crossed over you could leave the dreaded spare, the 1-3-6-8-10, which never happens today. Now balls have an offset weight block that forces the ball to hook when it rolls. Now instead of throwing the ball leftward, we throw the ball to the right or straight and watch it turn left. You don't have to do anything fancy like wrist snapping. All you have to do is get yourself a fingertip drilled bowling ball (not an alley ball), keep your hand behind the ball, don't break your wrist (knuckles not behind forearm), and don't walk too fast, that will get you sufficient dependable hook.

[@trojanword107]

[@GradyPhilpott]

@@trojanword107 More like someone who stopped bowling forty years ago. I'm old enough to remember the old days (I'm 70) and since I picked up the game again some years back, I've had to relearn a lot of stuff.

I can never do a yo yo release , feels too weird

[@kingofthewickerpeople3774]

I found for me to do that release if to focus on cuping the ball right before I let it go keeping a lose arm swing the whole time if you are decent at getting your thumb out of the ball before your fingers u will naturally uncup to let it go just focus on cupping right before the ball gets past your ankle

[@allenthomas914]

This is the main problem i have I can't seem to get my thumb out first?

[@ArtOfBowling]

This is tough to learn, it can be done though. The release trainer really helps

[@MartinOcando]

Might be that your thumb hole is too big, and you are gripping the ball. The key is to free your hand of any gripping force. Completely relaxed. Then you'll be able to get it out super fast. If your ball falls out of your hand, use bowling tape to stop it. I'm in a very humid place, so in my case is the opposite. My thumb tends to get stuck, so I started using Storm protecting tape and works like magic. Highly recommended if you have that kind of issues.

[@BowlingHeyday]

House bowling balls hook and roll easier than the finger tip gripped balls by far. In fact, a simple exercise that gets a bowler to clear thumb is a one step drill using house conventional grip ball. The ball will only hook and roll when the bowler relaxes the grip putting thumb then fingers letting go of the ball.
