Simplify Your Bowling Game with the Grab & Go Bowling Drill (Pro Tip)

[@mikelombard21]

This may have been the best advice I ever got. I am so in my head about bowling at the moment. "If you think, you stink". So many tips and videos and perspectives. I just need to let my body do it's thing and relax. We worry so much about swing, release, approach, etc, when we should just relax and throw the ball. Such essential and helpful advice to those who overthink the game while still learning.

Gotta love feeling like a million bucks ready to throw >800 walking in... and then you remember you body only knows what a ~500 avg "does." In shooting we focus on taking over-thinking out of the sport and in bowling it makes perfect sense. Keep working. You'll be great man!

Literally me as Im currently new to bowling

[@texasplumr]

It's 2 years later but still valid. My head is the worst place I can be so I'm going to incorporate this into my practice starting this week. Such a simple thing. Thanks!

[@terrydolan-no6vg]

Thanks...enjoy all your tips

[@scottashley3906]

This is one of the best tips that I’ve heard and actually used myself. It allows me to be fluent and not tense nor grabby. Thanks

[@bhartissimo]

Thanks, I have to try this.

[@anthonydeloach805]

I love this guy. Thanks for this.

[@elisabethkokkonen9577]

Just what I needed now. I am overthinker! 👍😁

[@hajrashajras7908]

That's why I love this channel thank you so much

[@insidebowling]

Thank you too for watching and the nice comment!

[@elisherellis6955]

Thank you👍🏾

[@tomatowado3222]

I really needed a drill like this. I've been overthinking so much my avg went from the mid 220s down to a 160.

[@insidebowling]

It's something easy and fun to add to your practice routine. Just make sure you look both ways before going!

[@colbyepps2434]

I totally agree. My average went from 205 to 175 because of over thinking.

[@adamgardener8624]

I went from a 150 to a 120 and it's threatening to get lower !!!!!! Edit: oh yea...I overthink a lot. That's why I like unlimited games for three hours. Those are some of my highest scores. 180 and above.

[@michealmaley3566]

Thanks to the "Mikes". Grab and Go that`s a brilliant idea...

[@insidebowling]

Thanks Mike! Hope you are well. - Flanagan

Does it matter what foot you start out with and whether you are left or right handed?.

[@jimwilliams4088]

I will try this fun thing tonight, 9/9/21

[@seanwillis8483]

sometimes I bowl best when I am tired and can't think anymore. Just let my body do the throwing.

[@jimwilliams4088]

Same here. If I don't collapse at the shoulder, my spare shooting would improve tremendously, and my average too

[@ThreeTwoVictor]

I do this all the time. Usually after my first shot goes in the ditch.

[@ralphjerome2442]

The great Mark Roth was some what of a grab and go he would some times be 7 steps some times 6 I do not believe 5 much if at all, seemed to work rather well for him.

[@carlkelly3710]

So why not do this all the time?

[@insidebowling]

Some bowlers do. They never come to a complete stop. Rare, but if it works for you, go for it!

[@Ironfangzu]

Because for most of us, before every shot, there should be a moment of composing yourself and preparing for the shot. Be aware of oil conditions, review what happened the last frame when you bowled on this particular lane. Repeat the shot if you struck, adjust your target, ball speed, or entry angle if you missed. There's a lot to prepare for. This drill is for those who tend to over-prepare and end up throwing the ball with no smoothness because you are stuck on mechanics.

[@joepic85]

@@insidebowling it alows you to add more steps if needed if you are needing ball speed in a particular moment

[@austinwinters3281]

So the tip is to walk to the lane? I don't quite understand the tip

[@Ironfangzu]

No, the tip is to not overthink, don't freeze in the ready position and do a million checklist things if that's what's you've been overdoing. The tip is: Pick up the ball, walk up to the lane, and in a natural motion just do your push-off, back-swing, then swing your arm forward and release. We've all built up some muscle memory and your body already knows the proper rhythm and timing. This drill allows you to throw the ball without tightening up and overthinking, as lots of us do.
