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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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!

    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.
