Please continue to do these types of videos especially with women and seniors because we're all at different places in our game but are always striving to get better.

[@nordattack]

Agreed. Would like to see this type of training with average league bowlers rather than accomplished bowlers.

[@StephRenee812]

Ditto

[@longshanks878]

Frankie shows why he is a champion and also has the potential to be an amazing coach. He explains his ideas in a clear and concise manner. I would love the opportunity to have a session with him.

[@nathanielfuentes5294]

Frankie failed to correct the root causes of the timing issue.

[@JasonEllBowling]

Would be a lot more interesting to see this with Frankie coaching somebody who isn't already a past world-class bowler but definitely some good stuff to listen in on here. It's also a good reminder that everybody can use coaching at any level.

[@crxclusive]

Hahaha... "titties to the pins not to the floor..." 😂 saw that smirk... 😁

[@ryanreid5859]

Real saying from a golfers I watch is titties to the target.

[@iamasooner86]

Best advice I've received was from Anne Marie Duggan and it's as simple as this. It's just bowling. Greatest advice I've received to date.

[@irishpogi]

she's an excellent coach

[@leezhenghan437]

Best advice I got, just a year ago my coach told me: "the simpler the better"

[@user-ec3ji5lo2y]

Great Coaching. This Gentleman is a good bowler.

[@user-gt1wr1vh3i]

Cool video from Coach Frankie! Definitely good advise that he will use to improve his game. There are a lot of moving parts to bowling from head to toe. Some folks don't understand how dynamic this sport really is. Great job! The trick is to fix something without unfixing other things in the process.

[@zebertbrown1517]

He bowls alot like me. I'll take some of the tips outlined herein, i.e., hand grip, position under the ball to flatren it out more (my bowl tends yo "hockey stick" as his did initially when he approached and targeted more from the right as opppsed to the left), foot speed, squaring up my body more facing the pins (foul line), and slid position at the foul line. In short, the mechanics that work for you will improve upon the fundamentals. I'll definitely apply these things to my game and hopefully, I'll start seeing some improvement.

[@ObjectiveEthics]

Great tips. Thanks for sharing.

[@SteveSmith-mx1bu]

Absolutely love this video. I would love to get a lesson with Francois that would be awesome. But definitely do more of these

[@user-sx1nt5qo5f]

this was a perfect recap on my last lesson with my local pro, very relative to my game and what I am working on. Thank you

[@peterthebowler]

Great stuff. Learned a lot.

[@JSBowling2011]

Outstanding lesson by LaVoie! Great Video!! Jim

[@edisonnarvaez8388]

Loved this video, what a great lesson. My favorite bowler

[@ninety9million928]

Awesome. Thank you!!!!

[@raymah7]

Thanks for this video, learned a few tips to try on myself as I've been struggling

[@davidpruim1046]

Great video! More like this please!!

[@archrussel]

Great video with Jimoo at the back

[@eeknation]

Nice video. Nice to see a pro helping us with the process when we don’t have high revs or high speed. I would guess most of us fit the “stroker” category. Thanks!

[@hunkybrewster491]

this is awesome

[@PSANCHEZ83]

amazing video!

[@guyrich6467]

Great to see Frankie and watch how he thinks about bowling.

[@jenbishop9238]

Awesome!

[@Vietboy004]

Fran looks very serious and professional about his game

[@fiqlee857]

Probably the most underrated advice but my coach didn’t actually teach me about grip pressure. And how I should consistently pressure the fingers throughout the steps. Grip pressure consistency helped my average from 120 to 190+ 😅 the only downside is that it sometimes hurts the fingers, especially if you practice 5-6 games (50-60 frames).😢

[@jonathanthomas8574]

Thank you

[@joshtherrien4076]

Ol francis has a job after he’s done bowling! Amazing stuff right here

[@ricka.wetselphdbowler3526]

Man, I really loved this vlog Francois!! That was one of the best teaching videos I have watched--perhaps it is because I have some of the similar issues at times. Thanks!

[@dikualamdinabale5612]

Good stuff

[@stevenbennett4210]

This was an awesome video. I'm watching this multiple times

[@bradp5107]

I think the best advice I picked up on there is where to position the ball to bring the shoulder down. I bowl Sunday, Lets see what i can do . Thanks

[@scottythompson940]

Cool video talk tech bowling bowling ball

[@amindidi3013]

Keep your shoulder facing the pin👍

[@RUSure2449]

Good coaching Francois. Good students help. He changed more effectively than most.

[@NewVisionLCS]

Excellent tutorial!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@ianhoneycutt3858]

My favorite 2 hander is Osku Palermaa My favorite 1 hander is either Mike Fagan or Norm Duke My favorite Pro in general is Anthony Simonson

[@user-gt1wr1vh3i]

Hello Ian. All bowlers are great. My favorite 2 hander is Packy Hanrahan. My favorite 1 hander is Darren Tang. My all time favorite bowler is Parker Bohn III. I grew up watching him in the '80s. These guys are great on and off the lanes.

[@EricSmyth4Christ]

Osku is bae Duke is awesome Hate fagan lol Simonson nah (as a person)

[@ianhoneycutt3858]

@@EricSmyth4Christ Fair enough about Simo, he is a bit arrogant, but once you get past that I think he's kinda entertaining. Wtf Fagan do to you tho 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@EricSmyth4Christ]

@@ianhoneycutt3858 I was bowling a pro am with Fagan on my lane and I asked him “Can I throw one of your bowling balls?” I wasn’t asking for a free ball, just to throw his ball I’m two fingers so if his ball rolls well I get a new layout option He says “Why would you want to do that?” It was awkward and lame His poor bowling balls couldn’t take one throw from me I guess He is probably better than half the pros at niceness and sportsmanship who knows But that was my one experience with him

[@flippperboy]

Frankie coaching! Cool 👍

[@JoselitoGuevarra]

this video made it to my best bowling tips folder!

[@zackoakes6382]

Would be awesome to get a lesson from Francois, does he offer lessons?

[@jrproshop]

Yes when he comes to Vancouver !!

[@hersheyskwertz9315]

What I wii pi old pay for a coaching session with a PBA pro

[@donaldwheeler4656]

Be consistent. Work on one thing at a time, and make your spares!

[@ytrue483]

Could you tell me how he was early in his timing

[@davidcarter5504]

Best advice that I have received, and I still have issues with, is to stay under the ball and dont come around it.

[@finnhappach1055]

what shoes was Ryan wearing?

[@electrician240]

I really wish i could find a good coach.

[@irishpogi]

Hi Ryan! I posted footage of Ryan from 2005 bowling the intercollegiate collegiate championships

[@ryanreid5859]

You are a bowling historian. You have footage of everything

[@irishpogi]

@@ryanreid5859 Everything? I wish.

[@hawjfamily321]

I literally had almost all of the exact same issue.

[@ac2561]

Best advice so far for me is to stop squeezing relax the thumb. Uncup the wrist lift up

[@christ9359]

Speaking from experience, once you get the grip relaxed, you can add the wrist cup back in. Your release will stay clean, but your revs will go way. Don't rush the process, though. Good luck!

[@tdub5693]

Is it just me or does it sound like his ball slams down kinda hard is that how its supposed to be done?

[@jrproshop]

The mic’s are sensitive and makes it louder than it really is, you’d want a smooth laydown if possible.

[@michaelrhoads6349]

Instead of telling him slower feet, he would benefit from taking less & longer strides. He's like 6'2 or taller & takes like 8-10 baby steps. It should only take him 3 to 4 steps with the 3rd or 4th step being his alide step.

[@Skyeatsmike]

COACH LAVOIE - NOT a beginner, I would drive to you, i don’t get butt hurt, low key favorite bowler.

[@rogerowensby3093]

Go slow, keep eye on your mark and make a good follow through

[@nathanielfuentes5294]

His form actually looks worse as we get to minute 17. None of these tips have helped to correct his feet getting to the line before his arm. Pushing off earlier and slightly more deliberate would have done more for his dynamics than all of the other tweaks.

[@gregtowle8830]

I remember when we paid 25 cents a game

[@ryanreid5859]

Send me your accomplishments and bowling resume and maybe you can offer lessons

[@ryanreid5859]

You also understand that tips and changes to your game take time. That's why we practice. Shown me 1 athlete in any sport at an elite level that makes a change at it takes 1 hour to perfect ? Take your time. I will wait.

[@nathanielfuentes5294]

@@ryanreid5859 If a coach gives me executable feedback, the change is almost immediate. Bowling is simple physics and anatomy. Even timing is a product of the other two.

[@ryanreid5859]

@nathanielfuentes5294 sure you might be able to do it a couple times but it isn't ingrained in your body or approach immediately. Be real. If it was that easy why are you not the world's best? I don't remember seeing your name on TV or any big international events ?

[@redshark1981]

What is the circle in the front of the lane for

[@Triley215]

It's not real. It's a figure of your imagination. At least that's what I try to tell myself when I see it everyday
