Same here.

Thanks for this video. Sometimes I just forget about the balance arm. It helps keep my shoulders from dipping and definitely more energy through the shot. I’m a 70 year 150 average bowler. You never stop learning in bowling. Love you guys

Art of Bowling Coach Arthur talked about this. Awesome information!

I'm just getting back into bowling in a league after 7 years of not throwing a ball, and over 15 years of not playing in a league.. thanks for the tips. I will employ them in my games tomorrow.

Another great tip. Most of us who didn't start out with bowling coaches have built up a lifetime of bad habits. Over the years we probably manage to throw the ball semi effectively somehow. But we do so many things wrong. I know I sure do. I look at each of the tips offered by Brad and Kyle and I look at my own game, and they help me to, hopefully, get back to correct basics so that I am not fighting my bad habits with every ball thrown. Thanks guys.

yes i started 2 handed and my swing was not tucked in and it was like out, and it took like months of practcie to make it like at an acceptable distance from my body, (its still not perfect but alot better) if u dont start with a coach best thing is just to record yourself and watch these brad and kyle vids and house bowling etc vids to learn the correct way and to fix it as quickly as possible

Bowled on and off for 25 years. It is only the last 3-5 years started taking lessons! Average idling at 160 and now 180. U are right. Years of bad habit, muscle memory caused every change so difficult, need extra extra efforts to take it away 😅

This video is exactly what I needed, thanks boys.

Thanks for this reminder...I will work on IT.🤔🙂

I've totally rebuilt my footwork and release from the ground up this summer. I have significantly increased my rev rate and am so much more balanced, but I developed a habit of pulling the ball to the left. I just realized about 3 weeks ago that it was because my balance arm was flailing around and getting out to the left too early. So I've been focusing on it lately and absolutely it felt so weird when I forced it to stay out in front of me. But it is coming together nicely and I have become so much more consistent at not pulling the ball. This video was awesome.

All your videos are great! I'm coaching my kids teams and this all helps out so much. It helps my game out as well! Thanks guys! Ps my wife manages an alley in scranton pa and I send her your videos all the time!

Great video. So helpful! Thank you guys!

GREAT VID!! Will practice this weekend.

Brad and Kyle: I watched this video yesterday and then bowled last night. I got the balance arm thing in my head and it was all I could think about which scared me at first. But getting my left arm out in front and then pulling it back on my down swing was money! It just about eliminated me pulling the ball! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Took 10 years off of bowling and this is my second year back. Been really struggling pulling the ball to left, missing way left at times, been working on my back swing and getting better but I never thought to point my left arm differently, I’m definitely gonna try this out, thank you for the video

Fantastic video. Thanks guys!

This really hit home for me. I've been struggling with my swing and this is definitely one of my problems. Thanks for another great video!

So I worked on this in practice today. Once I got comfortable with it and stopped looking at my arm instead of my target, it was instant improvement in consistency. Strung a 6 bagger together at the end of my last game. Brad and Kyle Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow this is the one.. what a great tip, I have a huge problem with keeping my balance arm straight out to the side and I have a hard time playing angles and it forces me to play straighter.. great tip Brad and kyle!

Great timing!! This is what I was practicing on.😅 thank you guys!❤

What you guys do is just amazing. Every video puts me back in the alley workin' harder and every video helps make me a better bowler... Like people notice! Thank you!

Wish you could get a pro in there that is a little bigger around the middle to give us larger than dad bods some tips.

That’s the best advice that has worked wonders in my game. This should be a drill everyone should work on until it becomes second nature. Great content guys as always!! Keep pouring them on.

This has been a huge issue for me. Consistency in my swing. Great video !!! As usual. Thank you !!!

You Gents are really making a difference in how I am rolling these days. Rebuilding after a school/Covid break hasn't been easy but I have you both as my gurus now! 😊🎉

Great job guys.

The feel I always try to go for is my left shoulder stays left of my head and my right shoulder behind my head. Stick your arm out and try that and see where your arm ends up. If I don’t focus on that, I push everything right of target. This video really solidified “why”.

Hello! You should have a short video a few seconds of Kyle delivery! Thanks for lessons!! Very good advice!

Love the video. My coach still tells everyone I can’t be coached because I refuse to square up at the line. He is old school. But it feels unnatural and many times the ball has virtually run into my leg. It’s just one of many things I work on.

Get a new coach. Stat. This isn't 1977 anymore. Being "square in the shoulders" has been straight up SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN to be ineffective. Same with "lifting" the ball to create motion, which systematically creates late timing issues.

Great Video!

Your tip has tremendous helped my game out. Thank you!

Great lesson. I look forward to practicing this. I am definitely a left arm out to the side and hold it type of guy. Thanks

This video was the “light switch” moment for me. Thank you.

I just tried to add this to my game after watching. Wow what a difference it made. Thank you.

Would love a coaching from you both

St Charles lanes. Definitely going to work on this. Thanks guys.

Thank you

I still don’t have the revs and angels to completely open them up with the balance arm, but I did shoot the front 6 and my ball reaction looked so much better trying this out

I love coaching videos like this

Coach Daniel shared this shortcoming of mine in a couple of videos I sent on the membership FB page. When I first tried it, I was so focused on the arm, I forgot everything else. I'm somewhere in the middle right now, but still looking to get a little more in front. It's already helped my game substantially. By seeing Brad do it, I noticed one additional thing I can do that I hadn't been. Thanks to you both for the instructional videos...very valuable.

Great video

Thx u for this video

always focused on not dropping my right shoulder instead of the balance arm on the left. good tip, I will take this to the lanes and practice with it... I am a 200 average bowler, but not consistent enough to repeat shots and really string strikes. I had to really spend time learning a spare game because I constantly tug the ball left and there's only so much hold with modern equipment. balance and opening my swing properly should help a ton going forward as a balanced bowler and 1-handed.

Great tip Gents. To tell the truth, I have no idea what my balance arm is doing because I've never even thought about it. Something else to consider next time I practice. Thanks!

Love it, I picked this up watching the pros I call it the swim move lol.

I agree. Except I've had the seemingly stiff left arm that would lose control upon release and gutter the ball just as in this video, lol😤. I'll definitely give this new position a try.

Great video guys! I have been working on my balance arm for the past few weeks and it seems to keep everything in line. There are a lot of moving parts to keep in mind from head to toe. Question: Are you guys going to take Packy up on his 50 Strike challenge?

I've never even thought about this.. but it makes sense.

I have worked on this for the last year before this video and i have found myself that if i dont keep that arm in front or me i will pull my shot almost every time. i would assume it is the same way if you have it too far in front of you as well that you will push it out too far. great video guys.

my release is far from my body and i think i just need to tuck my arm hella tbh on release honestly and straightening up to the lane helped a ton tbh

Maybe that's why I have a 10 bd drift on my last step😮.. thank you let me try that

Your next video should be about the ball reviews of the new Storm Virtual Energy Blackout if you haven’t done so.

Like Barnzy does. 👍

So how does those relate to adjusting your feet to open your shoulders

Hi Brad & Kyle, How do I do what I call a straight hook shot in bowling? That is I would bowl the straight, than have the bowling ball hook into my target?

First comment Love ya guys!!!!!

I need help with my swing bad after my league performance I threw TWO 5,7,10 splits 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

Thoughts on Darren’s course?

Great Tip but I video myself and notice my left arm is way up towards the sky and it forces me to skip on my pivot and my hips are pointed right and I end up throwing the ball instead of rolling it. I try to remember this in practice and league but I fail and end up doing it over again

Crazy that Danielle McEwan was just telling me this last week

I’ve got leagues tonight. I’ll make sure to forget 90% as soon as I’m in ready position

Good video but what about some of us less flexible bowlers.I had to go to a 3 step from a 4 step due to knee replacement and maniscus tear.Bending at the line with an arm swing is virtually non-existent.

I need help with my release. I take spells of bouncing the ball when i release the ball. It sounds like i am dropping the ball but it doesnt feel like i am. Any help will be greatly appreciated

waiting for brad a nd kyle to take on Packys 50 strike challenge

I put surface on my bowling ball then 5 shots later it was back to normal. Did I not put enough surface on???

It’s funny u mention balance arm my good friend Jesse only has one arm and he is very balanced at the line so I really don’t need that balance arm lol

How do i stop chicken wing it in my swing whats a good arm swing for me

To help with that, try to completely loosen your arm and hand while swinging. It will feel weird but it might help :)

@bowlnow824

Had this problem and gave me tennis elbow really bad. Don't know what your grip pressure is like but that was my problem. Squeezing the ball too much and trying to force it. I drilled a much tighter thumb and tighter inserts. Did the one step drill and made sure to have a really loose arm swing. It took me about 6 months to really get it looking and feeling good. On the 8th month I won my only regional title.

@SirJoelsuf1

Hundreds and hundreds of repetitions of no step drills. JR Raymond has some good stuff on it. And if you have your thumb in the ball your swing needs to either be totally straight or it needs to start outside of your hips then go inside. With your hand in front of your face at the release.

Brad T posing to assert dominance

as a newbie, is there anything bad/wrong from today's perspective of bowling the old-school way, with your hips in line with the wall and just keeping all the movement in your swing?

@SirJoelsuf1

9 ай бұрын

It's NEVER been optimal, really. Like Kyle said, it restrains your hips which you need to generate power. Take a look at how bowling was before, say, the mid to late 1980s. More bowlers left 5 pins than 10 pins since there was no such thing as angle since there was no such thing as friction because bowling balls were made of either wood or rubber. Has it been like that for the last 40+ years? No. THAT is why "keeping all the movement in your swing" is not an optimal way to throw a bowling ball. Oh and it leads to injuries too because what do you think will happen if you FORCE yourself to stay square with everything when you have a 14/15/16lb object in one hand and nothing in the other?
