Just what we need on slow lanes, more hook!

Love watching your videos. I bowl in league and also regional tournaments and I have tried some of your techniques and they have helped correct bad habits I form from time to time. I look forward to continue watching your new and old videos.

thank you Rick

Thanks, Coach Art. Very timely. I've been working on that hand position for about two weeks now. It does help when I get it right. Would love to see more about it, like how it looks from behind before you release it. I'm trying out pointing my index finger down to the floor before release.

Even though I can hook the lane now, if I could do it over again, I would have stuck with a lighter ball when I was younger and mastered releasing that. Then every year increase by 1lbs until I got to 15 lbs.

huge thing on top of all this is maybe slowing the ball down. Giving it more time to get into its roll phase can usually help create more angle as well

100% 👍 when i slow the ball down and give it more time to get down lane and react i almost always love what i see..

Not so much because when you slow it down excessively your energy on the ball decreases. You want the ball still coming in with good revs when it hits the pocket.

No that’s wrong, in that case you need more revs.

Please mention the suit case release.

I had less rotation than the kid in the video at one point. Then started doing Drop Your Damn Shoulder. Rotation went up from like 220 or so RPM to about 350 or so. DYDS changes EVERYTHING. Weirdly enough, lofting also helped. Guess my timing was too early or something.

What’s commonly known as „lift“ (yanking the heck up when thumb is out and fingers still in) during release also helps immensely even though you’ll hear its stupid. Don’t listen to people claiming it’ll lift your ball up, it won’t.

I’m not sure if this is good or not but I tilt my wrist where my palm is facing out and turn it where your palm is facing the other way

Only other thing I would add that can massively affect hook potential is ball speed. Slowing down definitely gives the ball more time to read the lane and roll in the backend vs speeding up to limit the backend potential.

@@ArtOfBowling I typically use more ball speed to limit backend, but I have read tips about slowing down while moving deeper with more axis rotation to make sure the ball reads the lane to make that backend move.

Last week I left so many ten pins during leave and experimented during practice with my hand position. I am striking a lot more by having my middle and ring fingers at the 9/8 o’clock positions. It’s a little more exaggeration than what you mentioned, but it really has worked for me.

Two of the three things we dicussed will help no need in getting the thumb out of the ball quickly as well you dont even have a hole for your thumb

I struggle with the hook I don’t think I release right

4:25 that was a pretty mild hook- right??

@Arthur O'Connor, i'm a two finger bowler, no thumb. What advice could you give me to increase my rev rate and get out of the ball clean? If i need to send you a video of me bowling, i can do that, in order to get some advice. Thanks in advance

Not thumb should help you get more hooks since you don’t have to worry about getting stuck and turning early. To increase that rev rate you need to keep your hand under the ball and un-cup the wrist at the release to generate more revolutions. Changing hand position also helps change the way the ball hooks (axis rotation). Just make sure you keep your elbow in and don’t chickenwing it.

Get out of the ball? You don’t think about that at all, that just happens.

How do you get less hook?? Every ball I own is too aggressive. I use a 14 pound ball, am 74, a get about 13-13 mph. Thanks

Great question decrease the axis rotation on your ball. Start by turning the hand out it will give you more forward roll and less hook.

Suit case release

Any tips for girls that have a wide carry angle that causes her forearm and hand to naturally point out from her body. A coach recently had her start with her hand more on the side of the ball which helped her swing, keeps the ball by her ankle at release, but this change decreased her power.

Surface really is a lot of trial and error, and you can really screw yourself over if you sand a ball too much but dont have higher grit pads on hand to make it smoother lol

Every time I release the ball like a yo, yo I miss My mark, or it slides all the way down until it hits the pins

Stay inside the ball at release

BIG HOOK DOES NOT MEAN MORE STRIKES AND/OR MORE SPARES. IN FACT IT HURTS YOUR CHANCES OF MAKING SPARES.

Another way to increase Mr. Chan's power would be to eat a lot of food to add some pounds.

There was literally no difference in his shot, lol. All these generic get more revs, throw it like the pro's, etc videos drive me crazy. Sorry to be so bitter, but I've seen so much of this and telling people to get their hand behind the ball doesn't help anyone, they know that's what they need to do, its getting to that step that is the issue for everyone trying to get more rev's and until these coaches/slash content creators speak more in-depth on this topic, such as wrist-flexion, dropping the shoulder, pendulum swing I will be here writing these comments. You know who does a great job at this the Asian bowling scene. Such as this video, I got more value out of one video that I could not understand one word they were saying, than in hundreds of these generic english versions.

This is really so weird, nobody ever explains releasing the ball. „Thumb needs to come out“, „CupUncup“, etc … but HOW? And in the next video they claim that one should use low axis rotation (and one should) and one should be able to use several rotations, but what one really needs are more revs. The shots were different, though.

Hey you have some great tips. How ever funnuy as you think the lady slapping that man across the face is in your video, ( which did not make sense whatsoever), I found insulting as it’s just not funny to promote disrespect this or anyway. Might think about that “silly shit “ before hyping your “ training “videos
