This might just be the best explanation video of how to release the ball. Excellent video Robert.

Holy crap. I’ve been bowling for less than one year, and I have watched 1 million KZread videos on how to release the bowling ball. this is easily the most understandable explanation of the details I have ever seen.

I agree. I thought i was doing it and here im not. I couldnt understand it. My elbow goes all bent and all over and it isnt straightening at all and here this video is. Practice in my yard. Our neighbors probably think im nuts.. i mean a little 😁

Million dollars worth of information, for free! Robert, you are seriously a very humble individual. Thank you for being a great ambassador for our sport. I wish you success. You deserve it!!

I’ll take $10. 😂. Thank you for the post William.

I've been bowling for 50 years, and the explanation of the finger pressure is the best info ever.

I, agree. 👍

Damn man. Professor Maximum giving one hell of a lesson. Effing great video

I'm an old guy and everything is so very different today. I'm 70 now so my game has changed considerably. It happens to us all, unfortunately. Years ago I started trying to improve my release and rev rate by asking people who already had the rev rate I was after. I spent hours, not just a few hours either but probably over 100 hours working on this one thing! I didn't think I'd ever get it but it just wasn't ever explained to me the way that you just explained it! Truth is, a bunch of things I just figured out by accident as I practiced this. I appreciate you posting the video! Good stuff!

Best release explanation I've ever seen thanks Robert wow now that's effortless power effortlessly thanks again

I watched Robert at Sam's Town for awhile. Been watching him for decades. Best release and best motion of them all. Now I understand how he does it. GREAT video. After all these years he's still got it. 👍

when I was younger in my prime I had a very good release and excellent timing. I'm trying to get back to do some senior events and some over/under 50 tournaments with my son. The other day while I was practicing I was able to finally fix some of my timing issues and my release came back to me just as you demonstrated in your video. For those that are watching you throw the ball can not feel how slow and effortless the ball feels like when it comes off your hand. This video is right on the mark.

The greatest bowling release video of all times. 💯

I wouldn’t go that far. 😂 Glad you liked it. Thanks.

This is the best video on the modern bowling release I've seen so far.

An epitome of the most complete HOW to increase rev rate , yo-yo and thumb timing release. Best and Generous teaching, - also made simple for intermediate and advanced bowlers. More Power to Maximum BoB !

Awesome content, thanks Robert! So many bowlers prescribe getting under the equator maximally, and never really talk about overdoing it. Subscribed

Had lessons from some high level coaches. Names that most folks would recognize in the industry. This was a simple but better explanation then all of those lessons combined. Went out on the lanes and noticed an immediate improvement in my release and repeatability. Thanks!😁

Thank you for the kind words, and the donation. Hopefully at worst it gets the students thinking about what can be done to the ball. Again thank you. Robert Smith

Rob hands down this is the best explanation of how to do the pro release 🤙🏽

This was the most thorough explanation of the modern release I have ever heard. Explained by my all-time favorite bowler. Money!

This is by far the best explanation I've seen in the last year of watching videos on release and throw. Thank you for the great advice.

Robert, you explaining the "release window", and how it starts "back here" (3:21-3:34) was super-enlightening! I'm one of those people who assumed it all happened in a fraction of a second by one's ankle. Thanks so much for making this video. You have a permanent follower!

Thank you Robert for all these videos. Love the channel. Good luck on the PBA50!

The greatest explanation ever. Simple talk.

i have never left a comment on a you video ever but felt i had to here, that is without a doubt the best release video i have ever seen, and i have watched them all! ( obsessed ) did some drills in the living room and have to say after watching i can fell what he is talking about ! exited to give it a try

Best explanation of the modern release.

The best explanation I ever saw from anyone and anywhere! Thank you Rob! You are the best!

What an awesome way to explain this. As someone who struggles when trying to lower ball speed because I end up decelerating and being unable to maintain my strong ball roll, the part about slowing down the release is what I need to go try out and work on. I never would have thought of that. Thanks, Robert. Long time fan here

Thanks for the info. I've been bowling for over 20 years and this was the best info I've ever heard. Great job! Thank you!

As the discussion got to changing tilt at release, that got me to realize how much you can change the shape. The emphasis of the middle finger vs. the ring finger can get a ball shape to work for you without a ball change. Then you can with little thought make the ring finger be the lifting force at release. Ah, then Teacher Smith brings in another aspect, the pinky finger doing some work into the ball at release. Something new to myself after 57 years of bowling is the pinky finger of the hand. Maybe have a hole drilled for the pinky finger too.

This IS THE BEST ‘ explanation of hand release, from forward roll to snapping the wrist to hook the ball 16:23 nice spare shot. I would love to have a few hours with Robert to fine tune what I know. Hands down best video that I have seen in a few years. Well Done R.S

Best of the best. Especially not more speed equal to more revs ……. Master of the master. Thank you so much.

I am thanking you with a smiling heart... You are making tons of bowlers very happy with this video... May God bless you and your family with the abundance of joy and happiness in your career, life and everything that you do... Great life for a great man like you... Again and thank you so much...

Thank you sir you have taken me from being lost to finding my way close to the target of being a good bowler. Thank you. Please keep the video’s coming

I’m practicing this today! I need to watch this five more times though 😅Thank you

my son and i both bowl in Ventura county and see Maxium Bob around at various tournaments. legendary bowler and great person too. he really cares about the youth program at his local house(buena lanes) and goes to the youth tournaments in our area to support the kids and coach them. class act 100%

I got to meet him a couple years ago at a tournament here in Arizona. He was so down to-earth and easy to talk to. Great guy!

This is exactly how I release it but your description was perfect!

Really enjoying your videos! Thank you for the knowledge.

Great video Robert. I used to live in California around the Ventura County area. I moved years ago. Back then there were more centers. I bowled league at Conejo Bowl in Thousand Oaks and Harley Bowl and Simi bowl in Simi Valley. Bowled in Camarillo, Santa Paula, Wagon Wheel bowl in Oxnard. Woodlake bowl in Woodland Hills. You were probably just a young boy back in those days. Great to see you on YT giving invaluable tips and instruction. One of the greats for sure.

I've watched a LOT of bowling videos. This is far and away the best explanation of proper release I've ever seen. Excellent video.

Yaaaay Finally!!! I cannot thank you enough for this detailed explanation of the modern release, I've been 4yrs trying to figure it out by just watching videos. with this video I can work on it for myself then pass it on to my youth bowlers. You Are the Man 😄

One of the best to do it, loved watching you growing up. All of the modern power players owe you a debt of gratitude for your part in the modern power game. Keep the vids coming, and TY.

This video is amazing ... to be able to teach information in this way is beyond amazing

Have always studied your game as a fan and as another bowler. So much knowledge of the sport from your POV. 🙏

I enjoyed this immensely. I remember the days when you would kill all of us in win-a-spots for the PBA tournaments in SoCal. Thanks, Robert!

Thank you for making this video. I have been going through the release methods you are doing just by watching videos like these. Your explanation of the process makes things a lot easier to understand and I learned a lot. I will be working on some drills on different areas in the downswing to collapse my hand. I will be watching this video at least 10 more times until it’s embedded into my subconscious mind.

Thanks Robert! Great educational video. Your short video on how to pick up ten pins via the dual line up (dots and arrows) has been a great additions to my game. Went from only picking up 70% to 95% of ten pins using your technique. Mucho Gracias!!

R thank you so much……. I was thinking some of the things you explained but didn’t know for sure…. So this video clears up all the doubt……. I’ve watched you bowl since you shock ed the PBA with your technique….. as a rookie…….. so I’m gonna work on it with a different mindset now…… thank you ROBERT

This has got to be the best explanation to releasing the ball, it all made sense, Now as far as the tilt part, well that's another story, don't really understand all of it. Thanks Robert

Great video, all the other release videos on youtube are good until you get to the point of the release. Yours by far explains rotation and tilt the best. Great job.

Underrated video. Very good info, breakdown and not over saturated with to much information

without a doubt the best bowling release video ive seen explained so perfectly now i see that ive been trying too hard robert i want to thank you for this

Thank you! This video has helped me understand what I need to be working on as a new league bowler. I can't wait to work on this release!! You rock!!

Excellent video Robert! .. this is the kind of video that really helps this old guy out. Thank you! .. great video!

You did a phenomenal job of explaining the bowling release. Thank you!!!!!

It makes a lot of sense. Thanks for making it simple, Robert. 🍻

Been waiting for this vid from you for years… awesome video, the best release explaination ever. Thank you Robert !

Best explanation of the modern release I have seen. Thank you.

Great video Rob! You explained it perfectly.

Thank you for this excellent video! This lesson is going to inspire the next generation of bowlers to roll the bowling ball with the same amount of passion you have!

This makes so much sense, and an excellent explanation. Thank you Rob, gonna try this out asap!

Amazing explanation of the process of releasing the bowling ball...

Wow!!!, I've watched a LOT of videos on release...but u made that so much easier to understand!!! And as u mentioned that's gonna take a lot of practice!!! Thank you so much for this informative demo/ video!!!

Thanks Robert! Every other youtube videos just asked you to have a quick release and not breaking your wrist after the hit zone, it might be a good way to do it reversely and slow everything down instead to achieve the Less is More principle . I will definitely try it and see if it can make a difference to my game.

Best release video I’ve ever seen. I have been struggling with my release for so long(always lifting the ball). I think this video is gonna help me out alot. Thanks Maximum BOB

I would of loved to see how many titles you would have won if you would of stayed healthy. You were definitley been a force to be reckoned with.

Superb video. Commenters are spot on! Thanks Robert!

This guy was so much fun to watch back in the day. Great video too. I really enjoy watching your tutorials. Max Bob is the goat

Luv your work thanks for info on your release 👍

Thanks for the detailed explanation and demonstration. I will be using this video for my students, since I'm always trying to get them not to hit the ball, but roll it; and roll it consistently. It also emphasizes the end point of the release, which the students only get to if everything up until that point is done correctly. Your insight into the changes in the release and the changes in ball motion that results is invaluable, and your info is masterfully presented. I will be referring a lot more students to any video you produce; and thanks again.

Jim, Thank you. Hopefully gets them thinking a lot more on what can be done to the ball.

Super explicit! Lots to work on as a new bowler. Much appreciated!

Very good explanation on how to release / create revs. Nice job!!

Appreciate you making this video, Robert! Very thorough explaination of how to release the ball. I'll be taking this to my practice routine to work it into my game.

Nice video , but in order to not confuse people, where he talks about "TILT", he really means "Axis rotation". Axis tilt is the other oxis which almost no one can change with repeatability.

I am so glad your back bowling. You are the best and my fav

Absolutely great video Robert!

Great Explanation Robert. You made it simple and more understandable.

Incredible explanation. Thank you for the content.

Maximum Bob!!! Great video! 🔥🔥🔥

the best educational video!! thanks smith brothers!!

Great video. Best explanation to date on release.

Ditto to all the comments. Great explanation thanks

Thank you amazing insight straight from the source.

Very good video , hope you can make more videos like this to teach us 👍🏻

Darren Tang is the perfect example of yo-yo bowling release.

Awesome video. Great to hear his explanation of it.

Great video Bob! Really appreciate the breakdown.

Thank you!! Awesome instructional video!

Great explanation. Thanks!

You have Always been the best

Man, this is great stuff! Thanks, Maximum Bob. 👍 🤔

Well done Robert Smith very very relatable

Thank you so much for this informative video 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎳

Great vid Robert, will try some of these tips tonight.

Thanks for this video. It helps a lot.

Great video and love the explanation!

Great video Robert…..I’m becoming a big fan….keep up the great work!!!

this is exactly what I want to learn, thank you so much

Solid advice.

That is what I needed.

Awesome video! Best explanation!

Great information! I think it's cool to hear you talk about the "window," because I had literally put that down in my notes a few weeks ago; not joking 🤯 I've been working on my release and thinking of different ways to visualize all the mechanics involved, so to hear it from you, it lets me know I'm on the right track! 🕺🏻

Thank you for the knowledge release Robert Smith.

Great info Thank you Mr Smith
