Brunswick should make an updated version of this system. It would definitely be helpful to bowlers that need a better spare system.

would be worth to digitalize this, definitely still seems valid... especially as people struggle with their corner pins

That's a really cool vintage gadget. It actually makes me question a few things about my own game by what it was stating about: "Left foot on (blank)." I've always put my right foot on the board I want. Maybe should try left.

Incredible video. May have to buy this if available to help with spare shooting

I'd say most of what you showed (I'm less than 7m into the video) most average bowlers have a pretty good idea of the physics involved with picking up these spares. The physical DELIVERY, however, is their real issue.

@brunsnick

That’s where practice comes in to get good.

New subscriber here. Thanks for showing this. I'm a duckpin bowler, former professional (DPBA), and can really use this because I learned how to bowl by watching the Pro Bowlers Tour, with Nelson Burton Jr's Tip of the Week, back in the late '70s & early '80s. I would like to "turn the clock back" to my DPBA days by relearning how to be better at making spares. The DPBA minimum (125 average in a sanctioned league) is like the PBA minimum (190 in a sanctioned league). Right now, at the age of 64, I am borderline (averaging 126).

Considering that Range Finder is difficult to find and long out of print, you should make yours into a PDF so people can print it out and assemble their own.

Nice video, can't argue with old school.

Brunswick is Da Man!!

Just came to say, the hammer hazmat is the goat. Thanks for the video on it

Totally Hilarious!!

Nice one! I think a How to make spares video is more rare since most videos out there show what awesome balls are out there to get more strikes.

I love gadgets!

This is 💯 if you pick up throwing straight. That is the best way to throw at spairs.

I'm creating a bowling app which will launch in a few months. This is a brilliant idea, I will be adding something similar to the app. I will give credit where credit is due though, thanks for the idea!

I remember seeing one of these back when i was a youth bowler.

Cool video talk tech bowling bowling Brunsnick

Good video

I need this since I was born in 1962. Bring it next Thursday, should work at House of Pain. 😂

Somebody come out this ideal many many year. With this every one can become Pro in spare. Especially ppl who throw straight style.

Big like to the reprint ❤

Wish i had this back when I was in a youth league. I think they should hand these out for leagues as a perk of your dues if you want one. Very handy. Did they make them for left handed bowlers? I guess with the video displays some show where to throw the ball but they don't account for your feet position.

@brunsnick

It says to just reverse everything for lefties.

4-10 and 5-10 I shoot from far left to get the proper kick into the 10. But I also throw my normal ball at everything except the 10 pin.

Agree great video make more spare videos would really help the average house bowler

i wonder if brunswick came out with another range finder, if it'd have amazing hk22 technology for hitting power! 😱😱😱

Oh I know plenty where to hit the to pick up the spare.. it's just the matter of making the ball end up where my head has imagined it =)

If you're a right hander and leaving any pins, you're having a bad day. . . . I'm terrible and left all of those spares yesterday lol

If you do hand that out to the PBA bowlers, the PBA may ban that like they did with urethane ban under the 78 hardness rule. I made 5-10 split a lot but made it just once. I made that shot with my Black Widow Pink Urethane when I first got that ball last year.

We need on e of these modified for string pins 😂

Has anyone created a similar tool, this would be very helpful.

Nick, I dont understand. The feet moves I understand, but the eye target varies depending on the target pin?
