How to Practice Bowling like a PBA Tour Pro | Andrew Anderson Bowling

[@TerryPullen]

I recently discovered that my thumb size changes a lot. So when I saw Andrew making sure he gets the proper thumb fit it opened my eyes. Thanks, I needed that!

[@lonestarpatriot876]

That is just one of the things I love about interchangeable thumb inserts. They truly are a game changer. Then it is just fine tuning with fitment tape, which I believe is one of the most important bowling accessories that is also underutilized by so many.

[@lonestarpatriot876]

About a month ago, I really started practicing differently. I record my entire practice sessions. That is invaluable. It really is the only way to accurately analyze your mechanics. I no longer focus on the scoreboard at all. I am simply focused on doing drills and my mechanics when I used to just go bowl. In just about a months time I have been able to greatly improve my game. I also make sure to drill at home daily because I can't get up to the bowling center daily but I think it is important to work on it daily. Lastly, I work out 5 days a week. Being at your best physically is paramount to getting better as a bowler. This includes diet. I can't tell you how many bowlers I see at every level that miss this point and some of them are really good bowlers. Great stuff, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing some truly great tips! To paraphrase, "Practise to make good and better shots. Do not be hung up on strikes and score. If we focus on improving the process, scores will follow naturally." 😎

@3min What bag is that you keep your tape and thumb slugs in? I like that!

[@fuzzytattoo]

Thanks for the insight into your practice. I def agree and prefer a purposeful practice session over just going to bowl. One of my favorites is golf, trying to pick the corners clean and keep the score as low as possible. Helps with targeting, timing, and release as well, plus it’s fun and competitive with a friend practicing with you. So it can be a bit of mental game training too. Performing under pressure in one on one competition.

this is an excellent fill in the blanks video for the little things thats linking all good bowling knowledge together, thanks !!!

[@samho6777]

quality practice, oh yeah!!!! I was lucky enough to watch you play when you came to Hong Kong and took a selfie with you back in 2018 Dec 1st. So good to see you doing well and know about your practice routines. All da best with your nationals.

[@JadeMerkaba]

Thank you for the tips! I've been videotaping some of my shots but definitely need to do more if im not feeling good about practice as you suggested. I'm starting to do as many drills at home as I can and it absolutely makes a difference on the lanes.

[@julianherget4028]

Thanks so much for making these videos! Can you make a video where you show some exercises for you physical game?

[@billylusk3515]

What an awesome channel you have! Every isode is very informative, and exactly what i need, keep it up

[@commonsensecatholics]

This was wonderful!

[@bhartissimo]

Thanks for sharing what you do when you practise.

[@Glatzel132]

Thanks for the vid! Love the SLLM advertisement! Still can‘t believe that I will bowl with you guys! i just hope I won‘t embarrass myself. 🙈

[@milwaukeeconcrete]

Like the videos. Can you do one with the different motiv ball care and maintenance products. Gel shine, scuff, cleaner and how they affect different covers and what to use to apply them?

[@Bowling_FNP]

Thank you so much for these informative videos! I know you say that you practice on sports pattern and rarely a house shot, so… My question is, I plan on bowling on more challenge/sports patterns but I also want to keep on working to improve my spare shooting game especially on sport shots. Should I be practicing on a sports pattern to work on my spares or is it fine to practice spares on a house shot?

[@russellgilbert3453]

I practice feel and seeing the visual picture on the lanes, now. 🤔

[@BuffaloBill48048]

Would like to see what stretches to do before warm up/practice

[@CheapButNotEasy]

What are you using to carry your bowling supplies? I need a backpack and the storage case for more turbo thumbs, tape, etc.

[@mikeseabrook3380]

With taping your fingers, did you go to the next bigger size grips?

[@michaelperkins4991]

Where can I find an accessory bag like the one you use. Storing your interchangeable thumbs, tape etc.?

[@AndrewAndersonBowling]

turbogrips.com

[@enigmazero8624]

Do you do anything to remove that liquid bandage stuff after taking the tape off your hand, or does it just come off naturally?

[@peacefultv304]

You gonna vlog your tour season?

[@AndrewAndersonBowling]

yes!!!

[@ChosenMJ]

Hey Andrew, how long are you staying with Motiv and how is the product looking for you?

[@colemanmech]

Do you ever deal with muscle cramps in competition? During the summer months, specifically, for myself, after long format events, I tend to get muscle cramps in my forearm and hand. I try to stay hydrated before and during bowling. If you do get cramps, what do you do to resolve them while in competition?

[@commonsensecatholics]

Can you do a video where you work on developing more revs?

[@troyjacobs68]

In a upcoming video can you explain why you tape your fingers and how to tape them ? Could you do a video comparing the Venom EXJ vs VIP EXJ SIGMA (which by far is my favorite ball to date). Also another idea you should do a poll of what Motiv ball from the past you should do a video on. Great content.

[@dieseldood]

I have both balls. They are great compliments to each other. The Venom is MUCH earlier and works great for me in the fresh. Then when the lanes break down I go to the Sigma. When the get more broke down I go to the Shock.

[@TeamThrowItBetter]

If you don't have the time to practice. Use your leagues as practice. The scores will come in time as long as you put the effort in.

[@scoutpack1518]

All I want to do is bowl on sport shots but my home center (that i work at) refuses to oil lanes so I just get screwed its sad

[@videll7kelly]

I am interested in your fit.... Omg your thumb is tight and what your drill patterns

[@BlindStag]

why do you tape the back of your fingers ? I understand the front - but why just the back ?

[@Matt_Holcomb]

I tried talking to you last year in Reno after you bowled. N you seemed pretty upset said you didn't bowl well then didn't wanna talk after that. Kinda got a little bummed about that. But I know how it is after a bad block. But hopefully you bowl well this year in Vegas man. Awesome seeing you make a KZbin channel

[@robertkendall7503]

Is it possible that a ball drills is no longer the proper fit for a new style?

[@anthonyware4033]

I bowl 1 time a week and do not practice and have have a 215 average. I only have time to bowl in 1 league, i do not have time to bowl more with work and kids.
