I agree and the oil pattern measurements were also spot on. I'm currently a 175 average in San Antonio btw if anyone wants to have a bowling friend to practice with!

I’ve been averaging about 155 since switching to 2 handed bowling. Used your advice in this video for tonight’s league game and shot a 196, 148, and a PR of 253 in the 3rd game. Thanks for the help!

Yo that’s awesome to hear! Keep it up

Wait for a under 5 min video. I actually learned so much. Holy. Thank you for this video!!

Kudos to you for this video. I have never seen anyone explain it better or keep it so simple.

Just something I've learned and what I teach the youth bowlers, if you are looking at the pins or keeping your eyes down lane the whole time then your body is going to want to launch the ball (too much down lane speed and not enough revs). If you bring your eyes closer, arrows to dots, then you'll lay it down at your mark rather than throw it past it. I do LOVE the concept you mentioned about finding brake point and THEN drawing that straight line back to your lay down spot. A strong mental picture helps the body perform the task.

I only look at the pins I’m just now starting to bowl got my own ball and i suck more than i did before what i three stright 😂

Great video Mr. 220 !!! .. awesome! .. this is exactly what I am trying to learn now. And trying to learn how to adjust as the lanes change, what ball to use, where to stand, where to aim, etc. I love these kinds of videos to help me to figure these things out. Most of the time I just get confused but I am learning.

Thanks for the video. I struggle being consistent with aiming some days. Learning to look at the breakpoint will be my next tweak!

I’ve been bowling almost 10 years. Never paid for coaching and just been off of experience. When i tell you this video helped sooo much

Great video! I liked how informative it is in regards to both targetting and the strong and weak bowling balls.

Great video. An easy to understand explanation. Some other channels make it seam more confusing then it actually is.

i have been searching for an explanation on front to back motion forever...and finally I got it. I need more 220 tutorials.

Excellent video. I've been targeting closer to the dots than the arrows for several years now and I find that my ball gets into a roll much better that way. I tried to target down at the range finders like you mentioned as I found that most good house shot bowlers will have their ball rolling over board 8 or 9 down at 40 feet; however, my ability to hook the ball when I did that lost it's strength. Possibly I was getting to higher and higher speeds, not sure. These days with stronger equipment I'll stand somewhere between boards 25 to 28 and target boards 12 to 10. With weaker balls I'll move a bit more to the right. For spares I generally target at the tip of first range finder at 34 feet at various places on the lane. For example I stand on board 30 for the 10-pin and aim at board 9 at 34 feet. I'll try your suggestion and see if I incorporate it into my game. Thank you!

This was a great video i would love to see more This helped me and something ive been chatting to my bowling friend about. Thanks Ryan

I watched this video last Friday from home about an hour or two before I went bowling (just to practice/have fun) and I just want to say it legitimately helped. I've been in a slump for almost two months. Right after I joined a league for the first time my scores went down. I don't know if I'm in my own head or putting too much pressure on myself but, this video gave me some tips that really seemed to help quite a bit and I truly think the next league night I'll get my first 200+ game in league.

this helps me alot for bowiling i love the way u explained it thank u

Killed this explanation of this and ball strength better than any video I've watched

Thank you so much. I was just thinking about this and you uploaded it.

This was very informative! Thank you 220 avg bowla!

Great advice. Looking forward to trying this.

Great alignment tip! Good job.

thank you for this video, i am a 200 avg average bowler trying to nail down how i create my line. This video really gave me some ideas. I use the arrows and always have, i bowl at bowlero which makes it impossible to see the breakpoint do to all of the lights and reflections My dad who is a 170 avg bowler bowls off of "feel" and doesn't use any of the suggested dots/arrows to score and he does pretty well considering. I have to suggest that you do lane transition next as a video idea, that is the HARDEST thing a bowler has to go trough and we could use your wisdom. Thank you for making these videos they are so entertaining keep it up! :D

Great video and straight to the point! I’d like to see more videos like this here and there.

I loved this instructional video. More please!

Right on! This helped a lot. Thanks. More please

This was a great explanation video🔥

thank you for making this video because i only look at the arrows now i have a different perspective on targeting

Thank you Thank you Thank you... We need more videos like this... Thx💯💯💯

I got into bowling as in buying my own Bowling balls ans getting fitted for my hand about 2 years now. And never knew about the down-lane breakpoint. I always was told to use the arrows and wondering why I'm stuck. I started looking down lane like you said and wow.. thank you. Now learning when and where to move on the boards

I'm telling you Michael this instructional stuff will take you to another level beyond 20K subs and you should go give private lessons that would definitely give you some more revenue stream

this is actually so helpful tysm:)

I'm definitely trying this in league on Wednesday. Thanks a bunch!

This is excellent. So many other (LONGER!) videos that can’t get to or even make a point.

Dope bro appreciate the knowledge

Awesome thank you. Mid-season in my first league handicap series. Hoping for a 200 game soon.

I didn’t even know that I target the same way as Wes. It’s so much easier for me to hit my target down lane when looking at the foul line instead of the arrows. Although I use my arrows as my mark to where I need to be, I never look at them when I throw. It took me a little bit to figure that out for myself, but I’ve been averaging over 180 minimum every time I play since then. Great video man, these tips can make a new player want to actually discover new things whilst bowling instead of just chucking 10 pd house balls down lane lol

I know this has nothing to do with this video, but....How hard does a ball have to hit the lane to damage the wood? Mythbusters season 6, episode 9.....

Wonderful video man

awesome tips this will help me

I"ve tried some different looks over the years, but have the most success doing pretty much the same thing Mallott does. I start my swing toward the breakpoint and look right at the foul line on release. I rely on consistent launch angle and release point more than trying to point the ball to a target as I used to have a tendency to muscle the ball when I did so.

While I enjoy your regular humorous videos and difference from other people it was nice to see an instructional video from you. Maybe good to mix in from time to time for those looking for help

The "strong" and "weak" ball you brought up has been backwards in my head for years lolol. Very good way to describe that.

2:25 that’s one of my favorite topics in bowling. Whenever you can, could you do a video of those two types of bowling balls and when to use them?

Nice explanation of targeting.

I have always used the arrows, but recently started looking down lane to see where the breakpoint is in comparison to the indicators. It has really helped a lot, but im still not where I want to be. when I slide my left foot tends to be about 3 boards left of where I want it. when its where I want it the break point becomes critical so the arrow has to be on the money Great video keep it up. btw I should mention I bowl two handed backup

Hahaha! I liked the first 10 seconds. Nice humor there. As for the rest of the video, it was a simple explanation without going into too much detail, that i think will help casual boalers a lot. Nitpick : on 01:42 that is the 8th board at the arrows, not the 9. But ok. Point made. And in the last shot, if you take the red line all the way back, you should drop the ball at around 25. But you laid down at 22, and it went to 15 (not 16 as shown). Other than these nitpicks, great video. I found your channel by acc....(nah i actually often search for other bowling channels). But i did subscribe and follow it mainly because of the heavy bowling balls and the humor. I try humor in mine but the topics are pretty sciency so it's not easy haha.

Awesome teaching technique about arrows and breakpoints very simply explained. Thank you how are use this technique next time I practice and for my league bowling 🎳🎳🎳. #PEACE✌🏾

Perfect explanation! Going to try new things next trip! Can you do a video on how to roll the ball as opposed to throwing it ? I’m up to about 14-16 mph and am struggling to slow it down ! Up, slow down my approach of slow down my swing, and I still blast it. Our practice drills for hooking the ball and still haven’t gotten a handle on that either. Sometimes I can sometimes I can’t, but I’m trying. Thank you for all your help. Have a great game.,!

Amazing video bro 👍

Very Timely Video!

I have figured out my release and approach (to a degree), the targeting for both the pocket and spare shooting is a weakness of mine. I hope to improve that and finally break my 100-199 curse.

For what seems like forever now, I usually start off while getting set by aiming at the arrows, while on the approach to throw the ball I transition down to the foul line to make sure I am throwing at my target during the release of the ball. Depending on the lane conditions I might only have to just look at the foul line depending on how the ball has been reacting through the game. For spares obviously I would start off at the pins I want to hit amd then aim through the arrows and foul line as needed to make the spare.

I bowl like Wes, and one thing that is great about it is your position at the line is easy to maintain and helps the foundation of the shot.

Hah I had no idea Malott did that for targeting. I actually started doing the same kind of thing a while back to reduce the amount of loft I was throwing and it made my shots far more consistent. Great video!

I've done it this way for years. Probably decades. I couldn't tell you when or why I started targeting that way but anything else feels un-natural.

Great vid!!

As I’m settling into my stance I look at the center dot at the foul line and then as I get ready to approach I draw a line up to the 3rd arrow and then back to the dot. As I release I look at a spot just past the dot where I lay the ball down, kinda like Wes Mallot

Loved the FNAF suspense music thrown in for a few seconds at the beginning from fnaf 2 those games are hella good!

Loved it, thanks for the information. Only if I could get my release to hit the same spot every time 😅

Dude thanks for the info

Damn! I just realized it! Thanks 🎉

Great stuff! 👍 It's not just about hitting an arrow or board at the release. Break point is crucial, and where do your feet end up.

Great video, so u don't trace where I want to from the breakpoint intentionally but I feel like I do it subconsciously. It's funny u mention Wes Malott cause I do exactly what he does, maybe not exactly to the foul line but close to it.

Thanks for the vid! I took it to heart last week and bowled my first 600 series and a 220 game (my new high game 😁) I played another series last night on severely beat up lanes and managed a 550 series (my now second highest series).

Yo good stuff Jman!! Glad to hear that 😁

However, as a practical matter, most people can't successfully tell whether or not their ball rolled over the where they want the ball to roll over at the break point. That is why it's important to establish A CONSISTENT DRIFT PATTERN WITH YOUR FOOTWORK IN THE APPROACH. Most bowlers need to keep their strategies to better bowling as simple as possible. Because "the sport of bowling" can get convoluted enough as it is. Playing lanes is an art based on a targeting system. Other factors are included such as various speeds and various types of equipment. Good video because it emphasizes a premium on ACCURACY. SO IT REPEATING SHOTS! WHICH IS DEVELOPED FROM PRACTICING THE RIGHT THINGS TO GET FUNDAMENTALS INGRAINED INTO "MUSCLE MEMORY". DRIFT PATTERN CONSISTENCY IS ONE OF THOSE FUNDAMENTALS.

Thanks!

I used to target the "pro-hashes" but more and more lanes I come across don't have them...including my center. I have to focus on the angle I cross my arrows and keep my speed in check... I have tried picking a spot down lane like a reflection (static) or something...but I found that picking a board on the bottom side of the arrow and one at the top of the arrow is where I keep my angle consistent.

nice work!

When u said that’s a topic for a whole different video (regarding strong vs weak balls hooking early/late did u make a video like that?

Fantastic video. I’ve been bowling all my life and somehow didn’t know the 4 dark boards down lane were break point markers. The only thing that might confuse beginners is that you mentioned “hit 9” without clarifying you meant you hit the 9th board.

Yeah the range finders are super overlooked and almost kind of an advantage for those who know how to use them lol

Good video. I kind of felt I should draw an imaginary line. But I would often not know where the breakpoint would be. I do have around a 170 average and been bowling since I was small and currently in my mid 20's. It would sometimes be hard to tell and get harder when my arm doesn't stay straight. But hopefully I would improve. I'm a lefty and using the 900 global eternity pin up. I think this is why I don't strike much but I am usually good with my spares even the 7 pin and some splits. So, it is just the strikes need improving. I usually aim around the 2nd arrow. My strike percentage is currently only 29% according to the lane talk app. Not sure if it is just me, but I did also notice the ball doesn't hook as I think it should so, I think I have to aim it in a certain way to get it to the strike zone. I did have thoughts of getting a different ball or maybe try pin down. My bowling alley is at least known for harder strikes. Just my thoughts. My goal is to get to the 200 average. I thought to add people do watch me at times as they view me as a good bowler. Weird. 😅😎

I get to my starting spot on the approach, then kind of trace my desired reaction on the lane. Then I look at the foul line, until I get to the top of my backswing, where I move my eyes to the arrows, then to the breakpoint as I release. Kind of like Wes Mallot

Great vid

I use the first dot on the right near the middle and line it up with the the second arrow from the right

Very short and clear cut explanation. Thank you for the guidance. I’m an amateur bowler trying to get better (150/160 avg) who has only been looking at the arrows the entire time without knowing exactly what the ball is doing once it goes down the lane. Part of the reason for that is that my bowling alley always has the lights off. This was a much needed video for me to understand how to aim more accurately.

Great info thanx! Question maybe for a new video, your thumb fit. Hard to tell but it looks like your thumb has alittle gap on the back side, like its alilttle loose. I've gone from loose to super tight to inbetween recently. Managed to almost destroy my game while slowly getting a better forward power roll keeping hand behind/under ball. Whats your opinion on thuimb fit, release etc

it's the beans ,thanks and does it change with the 2 handed style. i just switched and can only throw to an area on the lane as I cant seem to read the lanes with a ball that hooks crazy compared to my other ball. if that makes sense

I've only ever used the foul line as my target point. The way the light comes off the lanes makes me dizzy if I try and look out at arrows or beyond during approach. I will glance out to my break point before setting though.

I look at the dots. Watch it roll over the arrows then watch the breakpoint. I watch the shape at 3 different points. Like he said the laydown affects your launch angle
