I agree!! Very good coach👍👍

Howdie USBC; my name is Steven Whitehouse. I am a disabled athlete. And started this past Monday I began practicing bowling with the Manchester Alley Cats of Manchester, NH at Spare Time in Manchester, NH. I will be watching these videos to improve everything about the way I bowl. In my first ever practice game with the Team. I scored a 163 (in 2 games). 93 for game 1, that i includes 2 spares. In game 2 my score was lower It was 70 with 1 strike. for a total of 163 (2 games). I will be practicing with the Manchester Alley Cats for the next (8 Mondays). The tournament is Saturday, November 18, 2017 at 1pm also at Spare Time in Manchester, NH. So I want to say thank you for these teaching videos. As I said, I will be watching them everyday so that I can improve my game.

Great video demonstration and instruction. Plain and simple. Greg's demonstrations very helpful.

This is a beautiful video. I'm so glad you all took the time to make this

Just what I needed to see. Thanks! Well done.

Awesome lesson and thank you for sharing your video ❤

I was watching other bowlers recently to get an idea on how to bowl properly but I realized everybody is different. Everybody has their own style. So once I found what was comfortable for me I started bowling a much better game.

great video really made me think about how to lower and increase ball speed and be more comfortable in my shots

Yep.. excellent info. I started bowing this week. but I figured I need some training. I love going to bowl. It's so much fun for me but I seem to hit and miss on the strike thing.

Newly serious 39 year old lefty roller practicing at St. Lucie Lanes. Appreciate this video and may visit the Jupiter Lanes in the future.

Love this video I was self taught bowler this helped me I was a 147 average bowler now I’m a 216 average bowler. It is about being patient and practice learn it and breath it take it one frame at a time

Thanks!!!this will help me improve my game!!!

I keep coming back. I have great days and then it seems I forget how to Bowl. I am desperately trying to learn so when I can be consistent in how I bowl.

I found this video very helpful because it was just giving a simple technique and breakdown of how to hook a bowling ball so I try using the football and putting my hand under the ball to make it spin and I was throwing it into the couch and sure enough when I went to the bowling lane to try to hook the bowling ball that technique work for me. Thank you very much. #PEACE✌🏾

Notice how he holds the ball higher for the slower throw and lower for the faster throw. Like he said it’s a matter of matching up the upper body and the lower body for optimal timing, but he wasn’t the best on explaining how. When you want to throw faster, you want to change speed with your legs because it’s more consistent to walk faster than to throw harder, and the that’s same with throwing slower because it’s hard to maintain consistent muscle tension everytime, and you want to be able to repeat shots and adjust. The old theory was that holding the ball higher for more swing would be more consistent. New theory is that if you want to throw the ball faster, stand farther back because you will naturally have larger/faster strides to get to the foul line, but you also want the upper body to match that timing. To do so when throwing faster, hold the ball lower since holding it higher or the same will cause the ball to be behind your feet and late since you’re walking faster. When wanting to throw slower, stand farther up to naturally slow your approach to the foul line and hold the ball higher because you will take longer to approach the foul line. If you don’t hold it higher, you might end up being too early in timing and having your ball in front of your feet when you reach the foul line. Also, you want to make adjustments holding the ball higher or lower by 6in. It is also the best to move back and forth by one foot length at a time.

My timing is something I've had to work on a lot. I would always get up to the line and the ball would still have a ways to go before release, so this is helpful to have. I'm getting way more serious about form and timing and stepped it up with a better ball. I ended up getting a really good app someone recommended to me so when I go bowling with my partner he can catch in slow mo how my form is. Practice makes perfect!

Super terrific video! This coach Borden is an expert. I had to replay sections of the video repeatedly on each style to be able to grasp all of the detail of his explanation. Readjusting my timing has been my most major and critical task recently. It has produced surprisingly great results but lack of understanding what I am been doing has prevented me from locking in on the proper form. This video helped me to understand what actions produces which results and given me more confidence in my direction. Anxious to get back on the lanes to put this learning to use. Thanks coach! Hope you got more videos out here on You Tube. I be looking for them.

Great video

I'm confused because coaches usually teach letting the ball swing the arm (pendulum feel) to get a smoother swing, which is a great tip. I would think that holding your ball higher in the pushaway would cause a longer higher backswing and and a lower start position to shorten it. It seems to work that way for me when I raise or lower the balls starting position. 🤔

Great performance. Not to old you can learn it. Hilleke can do it.

Low ball has less potential energy, so in order to have it swung higher, you need to pull it hard thru the bottom of the swing arc. What would happen, had you low ball and slow feet? Let me tell you. It wouldn’t swing and rise any higher than the initial push in the beginning, if you didn’t pull it hard. Far easier just to let the ball momentum work in favor for your high back swing. Back swing as high as the initial height at the start and let it swing freely.

Watching tons of videos where people are saying to relax and let gravity move the ball then have huge back swings and low push aways. In this video they talk about slowing down the ball speed and having a high back swing. That has to be done pulling the ball back. Coached are either skipping a piece of their coaching explanation, aren't being truthful, or have found a method to deny laws of physics

@@sven8633 , I think quite a number of coaches in many sports has only the sports spesific jargon to rely on and their own experience. Being a top athlete doesn’t spell understanding all the physical basics, why things happen, but echoing the phrases being said and in relation to their own execution.

the way the big boss built you is the way you need to set your timing aaaall true lol

The key to this vid is matching up were your ball is at the start and back swing.

what would you suggest for something to do who bowls in a wheelchair? when Mr. Borden said "match your feet speed with your swing speed" is something i just dont do since i am a wheelchair bowler.

I didn't find this very helpful, except for the revelation that early timing leads to a drop, late timing to a hang-up which in 50 years of playing I hadn't grasped. However, some more tips about how to adjust your timing when it is off would be good.

Me either.I thought the "misnomer" was Borden saying holding the ball lower gives you a higher backswing?That's impossible without forcing the ball into the swing.Which is exactly what I was taught NOT to do.I'm "old school"A "stroker".The arm swing is supposed to be loose,natural and unforced.But not in todays game.Not the way these guys teach it.It's all about dropping the shoulder and opening up the shoulder to create that high,forced back swing and revving the shit out of the ball.Wish I was 20 and just learning. :- (

Jeff Bear Jeff, you're right that it probably doesn't make much sense if you think about it in terms of old school bowling. This video is VERY good at showing how ball positions relates to swing height. You're right about one thing, if you hold the ball low and you create a highbackswing, there is some muscle involved. What they don't explain in this video is how as little muscle as POSSIBLE is used to create that high backswing, and then on the way down there is NO MUSCLE USED. That's the key. Once the downswing starts, the best players let gravity bring it down. I can guarantee that bowlers who have high backswings and use muscle on the way down are not as consistent. This method also relates a lot to spine angles, which is really important for staying consistent and balanced throughout the approach. Imagine having a high ball position to start AND a high backswing. It would be very unnatural in a lot of ways. Hope this helps a bit. :)

If your body doesn't let you do it, there's no sense fighting it. There are many bowlers so have small, compact games that are very successful. Guys like Brian Voss, Norm Duke and Doug Kent are guys you should look at for hints on what do with your game. They all do the basics incredibly well and don't necessarily do anything 'fancy" with their swing. I hope that helps and I hope your game improves!

i'm not seeing his body position or exactly where the ball is dropping....advice is helpful....but i'm not seeing exactly how he is moving...

I wish I could get a personal lesson from Fred Borden but I live in the Philadelphia area. Can you recommend someone reputable in the Philly area that I could go to? I did spend 5 days at the Dick Ritger bowling camp in 1999 and have held on to some of what I've learned, most importantly that an unusual 5-3 delivery works best for me. I'm now 66 years, have a 205 avg, and would like to have someone that knows what they are doing to help hone my skills for me.

I’d love to be able to get the ball to spin like that.

I have a problem my right hap was done two times and my right hip is 3/4 off want can i do to get better with the people that are dilling

Giving a nod to Coaches Ross and Borden in doing a great job in moving the sport of bowling back to legitimacy, I have to say it may be more helpful to some bowlers to have you experts develop and use a formal descriptive vocabulary. References to "high backswing" relative holding the ball "lower" for example is hard to mentally visualize without a good reference point. Yeah, I know he says "about waist high," but without an understanding of any relationship to high or low, people can get lost rather quickly. The same applies to folks using o'clock references to hand release positions without explaining the orientation or perspective. IMHO Bowling is a physical sport. The approach to using hard science that you guys bring is appreciated. The physics of launch and entry angles, rotation, axis tilt, velocity and data collection need to be supplemented with anatomy, physiology and kinesiology and presented in a uniform way that makes sense to folks looking to improve their game. Speaking in terms of crankers, strokers and tweeners doesn't help without a proper way to describe what those terms mean.

Looks to me like the backswing was just as high regardless of the ball position. The pushaway was the real diffrence

I’m not very good with ball comparisons but I do have a question or anyone that is good with this. I have a Motive Talon and I’m really looking to get something with more backend. I have more of a tweener style so I know I wouldn’t get as much hook as a cranked/two-handed. My question is what are some of the best balls out there for high backend hook?

I have a Motiv Rouge Blade. It has a very strong hook on the backend of the lane. I recommend it especially if you have a sort of tweener style. I’m a young two handler that is transitioning to a one handed tweener style as well. I definitely don’t use that ball for two handed though... it goes dead straight, hooks a bit then reacts extremely aggressively as soon as it leaves the oil... this is why I’m not using two hands anymore.😂

Hello,The solution to your low back swing woes is to open your hand up while the ball is in the back swing.Your thumb should go into a position that will point up at the ceiling when you are at the top of your backswing. So from your starting position, your hand will begin to move as you are entering your push away completing the turn at the top of your backswing. Now that you have a higher backswing it is imperative to not try and muscle the shot from the peak of the back swing down.Check out this video for backswing tips.www.usbcbowlingacademy.com/video/proper-bowling-arm-swing-005529/ Thanks for watching!

Knife guy 375: find some older footage of Fred Borden and he looks like Roy Orbison's twin brother.

The first, Gregs(?) first shot was in time, but the examples are really out of timing. Low position at start would be in time with low back swing, were it neutral. Low start, high back is manipulating. Look at his steps and acceleration on the approach. He actually halts in between the acceleration phase of the approach to wait for the ball to enter the correct timing spot of his swing. Understanding, the mid approach timing check-point would benefit the mannekin as well as any bowler from beginner to major winner. The old person talking the video thru is really nobody to teach people how to swing a bowling ball. He is an expert on throwing the ball, but obviously doesn’t understand the basic physics of moving a heavy object.
