If this video helped at all let me know which tips worked......

[@vinny702]

U bowl any tournaments or sport shot leagues?

[@hihbowling]

@@vinny702 yes and PBA regionals

[@Alldayertexas]

I liked how you had side video and paused on downswing to explain bent elbow! That really helped us visualize. Would be great showing that from behind too. When you explained why you look at foul it makes since, what doesn't is are you really looking straight at the boards there on foul line or maybe a couple feet in front of foul line? Hard to imagine how you change marks when your angles are more exaggerated because your looking straight down at release.

[@hihbowling]

@@Alldayertexas It's all imaginary angles. I stare at the boards at the line, thr grain itself, black line separating them, and in the right gutter when if I'm standing like 10-15 (Rare). If I'm told to hit a certain spot I could no problem.

[@k3vin032]

I'm active duty and currently trying to get back into bowling competitively. Growing up, I remember getting criticism from other kids from youth leagues because of my rev rate. They used to say my release was "wild" and needs to be "smoother". Jason your enthusiasm has boosted my confidence. Thank You!

[@patrickthibault8119]

I tried the ring finger first and it works. It actually makes my hand more relaxed. Thanks for the tip. Love your revs.

[@atbsigma]

Man I love this... an aggressive release used to be met with criticism and someone trying to change your game. Keep hitting it harder man, bowling needs this side of the game to balance out all of the other sides. There is never just one right answer or one way to do it.

[@griffyy5604]

Solid video. Ive been slowly perfecting that elbow bend and getting my thumb out quicker for the past 2 ish years and now I have my dream release and game. Everything you did in this video is legit brother thank you for being the first to break it down so simply.

[@hihbowling]

[@NeilTruick]

Excellent video! I've been watching your stuff for years, so I don't know how I missed this one. Two big takeaways: 3:50 - I've been bowling leagues and tournaments since 1981. From 2015 and before, my layout had my ring finger too far forward. I took three years off. I came back in the fall of 2018 with new equipment and a new PSO who moved my ring finger about 1/4" back. I picked up about 30-40 RPM with just that move. 8:00 - I never understood the yo-yo confusion before, but you explained why it's so confusing perfectly.

[@Robb0823]

Dude your power and rev rate is incredible

[@hihbowling]

Thanks

[@UNCarolinaBlue]

Thank you so much for helping me to find a target that works for me. I thought it would be so difficult to aim at the foul line but no, it was easier to do that than aim at the arrows! My average 3 weeks into summer league was 178 but tonight I rolled 193 average, all aiming 1 foot in front of foul line for strikes and spares. I would have had a 600+ series had my thumb not swollen but I think I've got the fix for that. Even tried elbow bend at the end of last game and I can tell my revs are going up! Thank you so much for your videos!

[@hihbowling]

Nice! Glad the tips worked.

[@Vedrfolfir]

nice to see someone else use the angle and style I use, but I always liked more finger snap in the follow through for the extra rev. fast and hard make the pins scream then the mechanics for broken pins and pins being thrown out of the back so much fun

[@codywilley519]

This was actually more helpful than the coaching videos I've seen thank you for really explaining it.

[@jbuzz68]

I tried jamming my ring finger in the hole and it really did increase my rev rate and made an overall difference in my game giving me more confidence in hitting the pocket and driving through. Actually this is something that I did years ago but never followed through with it so I am really happy that you brought it back to my attention. Thank you. One Tymez

[@hihbowling]

Its never talked about, glad you saw the difference!

[@fhaxe3989]

Wow never thought of it this way thanks man, ima try this next practice

[@iwinez]

The difference between what your middle vs ring finger does is something I never knew. I think I'll need to adjust some of my ring finger grips today. The rest I knew but I've forgotten about targeting distance. That's a big deal, thanks for the reminder. Seriously, one of the best bowling videos I've seen. I watched it twice and some parts I watched several times. I love the Norm Duke comparison.

[@Bullitt3309]

Well done. I went from being a Cranker in the late 80's to becoming a power stroker/tweener after having major carpal tunnel issues from bowling. i was always looking for max revs, but had some bad advise regarding span, caused the wrist issues. I went 2 inches reverse with 1 inch lateral, driller didnt shorten the span and boom went my wrist. I had to quit and heal over 3 years. When I returned I tamed it down and learned to be more of a stroker. With that said, I have never looked at the relationship of the ring finger. I have a much better driller now and bowl with out pain. I still would like to get some revs back and your video gives me some tools to try with out fear of hurting myself. Thanks, and keep up the videos. Some slo mo of your release would be a great thing as well.

What you do is just very impressive.......thank you for sharing

[@WutTheDeuceGaming]

Been bowling 18 years and up until now NO ONE told me anything about the finger order and which one is the vocal point. I've asked so many people and watched a ton of vids. The arm bend was an instant rev increaser for me but I did torch my wrist in the process. Gonna have to tweak it a bit more to relieve some of that stress but was pretty happy with the results. Our house shot has some rough backends after a while, so having those extra revs really got it to finish at the backend which was what I was looking for. I have 2 balls currently and there have been times where both just were not getting back no matter how straight I played it. This has definitely helped with that. Better than buying a new ball which was what I was gonna do.

[@hihbowling]

Cool. Glad something worked. Just ease into it. You'll know what it feels like and can add into your game at a comfortable pace.

i 100% believe you about what you said about the difference between 1 handed and 2 handed release.. i am a two hander (because with 1 hand i get about 250rpms xD) but i still cant get much more than 450 rpms with two hands.. its maybe easier to get some revs with 2 hands instead of 1 but with the proper training and strength you can get more with 1 hand. i wish i had your 600 revs with two hands.. but i think with my 16,7 mph speed my ball would be much to slow.. :D And to look at the foul line and the dots helped me a lot to get my ball lower at release.. when i was looking at the arrows i was always kinda throwing the ball to far on the lane. ;) So great Video!! Always a pleasure to watch you hit it hard.. :D

Dope video 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CrazyCatLady552]

I was just learning and had very little rev, didn't really know how to get it off my hand properly, then I watched your "bowler breakdown" video. In the video, you said about the release, "I don't know how to explain it; it just works." Watching that video, it finally made sense. You asked me for an update, so here it is: In trying to emulate your release (or as closely as my 5'4 height with a 4" span can using a 15lb ball), I couldn't. But, for the first time, I realized that it wasn't because I wasn't strong enough, but because I had the wrong thumb pitch. Corrected that issue and continued to work on it, and in short order, found myself far into the rev dominant side of the spectrum. Went from everyone telling me to move right to hearing "move 10 boards left!" Thumb release is seamless, and now I'm working on getting it off of my fingers a bit smoother because I'm hitting it harder than I have the speed to match. 250-300rpm at 12.5-13mph at the deck (for the record, I was 15-16mph before all this rev slowed it down). I'm working on building speed too, but I'm small, and I have lupus and RA and issues with my right hip, so that part is slow going. I've been bowling less than a year and a half. I'll get there. People make all sorts of astounded comments watching me bowl. To anyone reading this, whatever Jason says, it works. I'm a little scared to watch this video 🤣, as I already have to resort to plastic at times, but I'm going to watch it anyway, as I love your videos. Thanks again, Jason!

[@hihbowling]

Lol. Thanks for the update!!!! Glad I was able to help, this vid should help take it a little further.

[@CrazyCatLady552]

@@hihbowling Please! No more rev! 🤣 It's a great video. You mention some things that I haven't seen touched on before. I already target at the foul line, always have, except right side spares, then I use the pins. I actually started to bend my elbow less to get it off a bit cleaner. I'm also auditioning different kinds of finger inserts because I sure don't need the tacky ones anymore lol. I see you don't use them, but with the swelling from lupus and ra, vacu grips are a necessity, otherwise my fingers will actually get stuck in the ball by the end of the night. I think that getting it off of my fingers cleaner is the key though. Now, increasing my speed increases my rev as well, resulting in the same overreaction. I'm great on fresh oil. Just bowled on Autobahn with a polished tropical surge lol. But on breakdown/second shift, I need the release to be a bit cleaner. The ring finger thing is interesting. I actually sized up in my ring because it would get sticky at the end of the night and cause accidental backup balls when trying to come more up the back. Before I got vacu grips and sized up, I used to take my ring finger out altogether, throwing with just my thumb and middle, come the end of the night when I needed less reaction. Also, I can pull harder with my ring to get more forward roll, or harder with my middle to get more rotation angle. Seems like I'm the opposite. I've never tried throwing with just my ring, but trust that I'm going to give it a shot to see what happens lol. Thanks again!

I would add that you need to develop your kinetic chain or leverage. Including leading with the left shoulder/opening. Using the spine, core and shoulders to release under the head.

Aloha from Hawaii, u have awesome rev rate & power brother, imo, a high rev rate power bowler like yourself & Tj Tacket is much more admired, envied & respected than bowling thumbless or 2 hand style, both of these styles instantly gives any level of bowler some sort of striking power without having to use a wrist support. The technique of clearing the thumb properly is maybe the most valuable skill in bowling & the one's that can master this skill, become bowling God's to everyone of us that just can't get that kind of speed & proper rotation, props to you sir for sharing🤙

So for me 2 things stand out : 1 the yo-yo wrist. I never thought anyone can yo-yo a bowling ball especially at the speed of the ball at release. Your description of the reverse yo-yo makes more sense. 2 the targeting , when you say you look at the foul line are you picking the end of a board ( let’s say the 30 board ) to hit the 15-18 board at the arrows ? TIA, new fan here. Just found this video 15 minutes ago. Thanks Ed

PS I am wanting a new ball to get from a 12 to a 14 lb ball. Right now I am throwing intense fire, but don’t know where to go for the new ball? Phase 3 maybe ? Thanks

Welcome to the community. I imagine the motion I want and draw it back to the line and that's where I look. The natural swing will get it where it needs to be. Can't go wrong with a Phase 3.

Hi, great vid thankx to share! Does the bending of the elbow happening at the top of the back swing, like first move of the throwing motion at the top? Can you please make a vid to explain it? Thankx bro!

[@quickfingers5979]

As a stroker, I start off staring where the foul line meets the board I wanna roll straight over. As I approach, my head lifts up a little and my focus runs along that board. I normally finish my swing with my gaze half way between the foul line and the arrows so nothing crazy. I definitely still need to work on my rev rate for heavier conditions, but it's good to know I'm not crazy for not staring at the arrows.

4:40 pay attention to this everyone. This is 1000% true. I noticed this long ago when I tried to aim at arrows. I now aim at dots before the arrows. Rev rate way higher.

[@die7fox]

This improved my rev rate and also tamped down my tendency to loft the ball at the arrows.

[@TraumaER]

@@die7fox exactly. Your eyes play a big part of what happens to the ball. In theory, you could aim at your feet and your rev rate would be even higher, but then your accuracy would suffer. My take is that I aim at the dots before the arrows (less than 10 feet out), but I can hit that same board pretty accurately vs. arrows or even the range finder 30-40 ft down the lane. But yeah when I tried the arrows, my ball speed skyrocketed and I started missing boards a lot and even started hitting the right gutters. Now I average 211 with 400+ rpm and 17.5 mph (strike ball), 20 mph (spares).

I asked my bowling coach about this particular part of the video, where your eyes are at, compared to rev rate... He told me that this is partly true, because the shorter your eyes are on the lane (dots, foul line etc), the lower speed your ball gets, therefore more rev rate). Have you compared your ball speed while having your eyes on the foul line, compared to having your eyes on the arrows, or even further down the lane?

Never mind, just saw that you answered just what the coach told me. Having eyes on foul line = less speed.

My dream is to bowl like you, only other 1 hander I seen with this kinda rev rate and power is EJ Tackett.
