Analysis of the Modern 10-Pin Bowling Swing and Release by Dean Champ
Спорт
This video was made using slow motion footage to analyse the modern 10-Pin Bowling swing and release. Areas of analysis are the swing plane, knee continuation, the hinge, balance arm forward - thumb down, the apex of the swing, working the inside, the release - cupped to uncupped, the release - cocked to uncocked, and the follow through.
Bowlers featured include PBA stars Chris Barnes, Mike Fagan, Sean Rash, Bill O'Neill, Tommy Jones, Mika Koivuniemi, Rhino Page, Dominic Barrett, Martin Larsen, Norm Duke, Pete Weber, Wes Malott, Robert Smith, Mike DeVaney, Choi Won Young and more....
Thanks to coaches Patrick Birtig, Joe Slowinski and Jim Merrell, and also a big thanks to IABowling Channel for use of their footage and all the excellent work they do to promote the sport of bowling worldwide, and to Jani (jantukan channel) and others for uploading great HD footage.

Please, never take this video down. It is by far the most interesting, most instructional video I've seen on the modern game. Kudos to you for putting it together.
I've been bowling for 17 years-since I was five. This is easily the most informative video I've seen in that time. Great work, Dean. And thanks for posting!

Wait you re mike fagan right
Excellent video. Glad to see the variety of swings and releases. Especially happy to see you included the left handers.Visualizing seems to be much easier for the bowler to understand. Appreciate the work that was put into this.

Congratulations!!!!! Hope you get more 300's, and are you going pro now???
Finally the video I was looking for. Great analysis! Thanks for all the hard work.
Going from a two finger style of bowling to the traditional way with my thumb in the ball. This video is helping me study to be better at releasing the ball. Thank you...this has to be the best instructional bowling video on the web Dean Champ
Best bowling video ever. It's difficult to learn how to bowl when no one can demonstrate the correct methods. This allows you to visualize the proper technique and work towards appropriate technique. Thanks for creating this and sharing.
Best analysis I've seen. thanks for your video library. I've been getting a lot out of them.
I've watched this at least ten times, I've nearly perfected my swing within a month

One of the most informative bowling videos I’ve ever seen
This is incredible. My game has improved drastically simply from watching, re-watching, studying, and mimicking the things Dean points out in this video. This is, bar none, the best video on bowling mechanics, form, technique, and execution. No question.
1 verbiage/terminology refinement: knee continuation vs. center of gravity or maybe stance. What you are terming as knee continuation is an effect of the bowlers transitioning from a strong core, vertical upper body, well balance plant with their ball in hand to a stance which maintains their center of gravity without the ball and compensating for momentum. The key is ballanced, strong plant step prior to throwing the ball allows them to grip the ball more effectively and release it with those extra revs.
I just wanna say that this is probably the most informative and assisting vid or tutorial on bowling I have ever seen. This video is awesome. Thank you for creating and posting this video. It has assisted me greatly. This is a great thing for the game.
This was a great study and I was talking with my pro shop tech about this same subject. There are so many moving parts in reagards to this game that if you want to be good you have to master them. This one is one of the hardest to do, but when you can command this techique along with your mental game you will be a hard player to stop. Thank you for taking time out and doing this study. I can't see why anyone would waste time to say anything negative about this clip.
Awesome video. I wouldn't have included Stu Williams in the follow-through portion, though. He doesn't even follow through, really.
Excellent composition and presentation. Very tutorial. I will refer to it again to help fine tune my delivery and decide what is right for me. I think this vid has the guidance I have been looking for.. Many thanks Dean!
Excellent Dean. Thank you to you and the others who helped, for your efforts in putting this together. Very informative and I enjoyed it very much.
Awesome video. I took up bowling last year and ended the season with a decent average for a rookie (175 ). I've hit a "sophmore slump" and my average has plummeted to 160. This video has helped me see some of the things I've been ignoring this year and also some new things I can try. Thanks
Sleeper video of the modern release broken down. A lot of people glaze over the topic with a bunch of general knowledge, but this video breaks down each stage of the release with multiple examples. This is so important because no release is exactly the same, but the basic principles applied are. A+ even with no audio commentary. Some words of description and then video evidence. If a picture is worth a thousand words then video might be worth millions!
I have been looking for a video like this== the breakdown and slow motion is just what I needed. Better information than my instructor gave me. I never realized how pro bowlers were getting so much power and hook! Thanks so much!!!
Thanks for the analysis videos. Really educating and fun to watch as i just got into bowling myself.
Dean - outstanding job of putting it all together - well done from an editing standpoint, even better tying it so neatly to the information from Joe and Jim. I'm sending this to several of my friends and putting it on Facebook. This is an instant coaching classic!
Fantastic video. Great analysis, the slo-mo will help a lot of bowlers understand what the best are doing compared to the average chucker.
what an amazing compilation and analysis. Bravo!
very well done video...its shows exactly how to come out of the ball...opens your brain to visualize a good shot..musta watched this 20 times so far
Watching this and incorporating into my game could make the most improved bowler on my team! I'm going to give it my best shot.
I've been learning to bowl for a year now. I'm a ~170 average-bowler and was looking for a video just like this to take my game further. Perfect.. thanks!
I've applied some of these teqniques into my game and my consistency has improved tremendously. My Rev rate has definitely gone up, which is something I've wanted to have happen for a long time. like dude, your video seriously helped me a lot. Took a couple weeks because everything felt weird at first, but now I'm comfortable with it all
hey thanks for this dean, I'm trying to switch from a very traditional release to this more powerful one, and this footage was very useful.

I've been trying to learn this "Yo-Yo" release as well.. Not easy, but sure looks better than the old way. I just need more practice.
Thank you much for the composition of this video. I can only imagine how much work and time it took in editing. This video will help me much in the improvement of my ball release.
Thanks for posting this video. For years I have been trying to find a step by step video to help my game and this video breaks it down. I can't wait to practice and implement these techniques. Wish me luck.
Great video. A lot of things to be learned just by watching some of the best in the world doing there thing. Have been wanting to see something like this for quite a while. Keep em coming!
One of the best videos on youtube! Thumbs up and continue your good work. you have many fans now!!! The analysis is accurate and Ive improved my game by alot !!! Thanks a bunch
Thanks for a great look at the swing. It seems really easy to mimic their swings when you watch in full speed. This really opened up my eyes for my problems with hooking the ball. This will definitely give a few things to try when I'm practicing and hopefully that will translate into more consistent scores for my game.
Great material. Flat-out phenomenal.I will be watching this at least once per day for a week.
well, I'm not a regular bowler at all but having an interest in physics and crap bowling technique I really enjoyed and appreciate this video; thanks!
The best video on the arm swing and most importantly. the release I have ever seen. It makes me want to get back into the game. Please keep your videos coming. Thanks
very good video i think. im going to bring it up when i meet a few of this pros later this month in japan. i feel that most of things i think about and try work on are all touched in video. only a few things are left out. and of those all are something that can only be learned by doing it. very good video and props for taking the time to make it:)
Outstanding job. The video "says" it all.
What a great instructional video. I watch it over and over
Outstanding production - thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing!!! it is really helpful
i pitch in kickball and have started studying bowling to see if those skills are transferrable -- and i believe the answer is definitely yes. this video has given me some great ideas technique-wise to try out with my kickball pitching mechanics. fantastic work, thanks for posting.
Don't even think of deleting this video its by far the best out there to teach people
I like this video for a few reasons. First and foremost, it does not try to "teach" someone a correct way of bowling, but analyzes the professionals and reports on the key aspects of their game. Secondly, it shows a great mix of players, all with different approaches and neglects to mention them because all of these key parts of the pros' games can be adapted to any efficient approach. Excellent video!
Awesome!!! I have been bowling since July and this really helps!!! These are all my problem spots in my game and I have been trying to find a video to help with all my needs! Thank you!!!
Really well made vid. Even as a bowling beginner cud easily understand and learn a thing or two, actually cud learn a lot, from this vid
How can they say that bowling isn't a sport? Bravo to the creator/s of this video and thanks for posting!
Awesome video analysis. Thanks for creating!
This is fucking awesome and one of if not the best informational bowling vid ive seen on youtube. The slow motion of all the pros is great. Its just fun to watch releases in slow motion
Excellent analysis Dean thanks for sharing.
Wonderful slow-motion video. Thank you!
This is something i've been waiting to learn for a long time .. Amazing !
This is by far one of the best bowling videos on the site!!
Dude this is amazing! I have seriously been looking for all this information in a video for years!!
Watched this video saturday, made a few adjustments and tonight in league I shot my first sanctioned 700 series. Thanks for the great video.
Dean thanks for making this video. I have been looking for this exact lesson! I am an unconventional bowler I guess. I learned to bowl with a 16 pound ball many years ago when i was much lighter and the ball felt much heavier so to get the spin like everyone else i had to hold the ball in the cup of my hand and roll it off the left side but I got pretty good with that. Years later I am getting back into it and I am still good that way but really want to be more graceful. I am even having trouble getting full extension on the back swing in primal fear of dropping the ball as i did in my youth, so embarrassing lol. I am sure i will be watching this video at the lanes tomorrow.
awesome analysis with great detail and illustration!
Great video - thanks! This illustrates very clearly some of the radical differences between "new school" and "old school" bowlers. Today's game rewards a different style.
I had working with Brian Voss in colombia many times, I follow the Slowinsky instruction in the web and use some tips from Rick Benoit and in this video you resume many many tips from they....is a very good resume..thankyou... I will use this in my classes..
thanks for the hard work, one of the best bowling videos on the web.
dean you have the best bowling videos on youtube, and i've viewed over 10,000 of them related to bowling.
Beautiful video, amazingly helpful analysis and great pros...... Best bowling video I've seen yet
Thanks a bunch for this Dean!
Really beautifully done vid. Outstanding on so many levels. Keep it up.
Dean you are a champ ! thanks for the tips.
I taught myself how to bowl thanks to videos like this. This being the best of any I have seen and probably would have been a fantastic find a couple of years ago but I have recommended it to a few bowlers and I hope it serves them as well as it would have for me :) thanks!
I just started bowling. I don't have a good ball yet, but this video showed me so much that I didn't know. Holy poop.
This is an incredible vid. Thanks, man.
Thank you. This helped me understand the throw so much. Priceless. Thank you again.
Excellent work and analysis.... Visually understandable
I bowled a 300 in my 1st college tournament in vegas... it was awesome. The porn music motivated me to splooge on the keyboard in memory of that momentous moment
Great vid man ! Nice combination of music and picture )
Wow. This was much more elaborate than i expected. Great tips man. Im sure they will help me with my approach
Bowled my first 300 game last night. Wouldn't have happened without this video. :)
lovely video! thanks for the effort! keep up the great work!
Thanks i will be giving a try for league. I got a new finger tip ball and am learning to create hook i think this an practice will help. My new high game is 190 and series of 752 with handicap. I cant wait first year on league.
the music made me feel like I was watching a conspiracy video

These lanes and bowlers are rigged with motion sensors, pressure pads and LASERs to monitor the biomechanics and physics of what's going on. The data's analysed at the Pentagon so Obama and co can better understand how to bomb foreign aid workers and selfless, charitable doctors with greater precision ;)

Nice video Im sending this too all my bowling buddy's. Keep them coming.
The thumb down thingy is awesome it made my scores alot higher and i hooked the ball more! :D thanks!
Thank you very much for this instruction video.
Thank you for this Video. It is exactly what I was looking for. Music too.
really good video, thanks for making this.
Best vid I've seen in years. Thanks
I totally love this vid, thank you for upload!
I can't wait for part 2.
You cant beat a clear and precise video like this.. thank you. (Apart from 1v1 coaching I guess). Lots of useful info for a 'beginner' like me to take to practice.
This did help. My Ave. was 150 and now its 192
I was like you 2 months ago, but you have to keep practicing.. you just need to relax, the movement is so natural at the end that when you start hooking the ball it becomes automatic. I had a lot of help watching videos like this, my mistake was that I needed to slow the speed a little so I can cup the ball in a better way and get more revs. Hope this helps.. and great video!
Excellent video! I've been working on getting more revs on my ball to help me open the lanes up a lil when they start to break down.
What a great video. learned a lot. thanks for posting.
Awesome video, Thanks!
today i played bowling for the first time in my life and i will never forget it, it was so entertaining! and then, after i watched this video i realized how freaking hard people try to make things - just slam the bowl and have fun, that's what i have to say :D
Great video. Thanks for the help!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! This is exactly the type of video I have been looking for!
so amazing video. really appreciate about this analyzing. good done.
Thanks for sharing it really help for my next game
Well done!
I was actually searching for something to learn how to release the ball from.... now I found it!!! great video! I'll try this I'll be very happy to become a 16 years old with 200 average instead of 150 with my 2 fingers shot....
love this video thank you some things i knew but the things i didnt, i probably would have never knew or been able to observe for myself had it not been for this very educational video i am a 210 average bowler and now i see how i can improve and be even better.
your the best Dean Champ without this i would not have a great game
