well they did use to have a 100 ft lane i forgot where i think it was in Reno

This is an awesome tutorial video. I will immediately start using this method. Thanks!

_Back in my day, lanes were oiled 80 ft and all I had was my Black Beauty!_ 🧓🏼

I like what Brad said from 1:50 to 2:20, but one thing that every bowler should pay attention to is VOLUME. Length doesn't mean anything anymore because of ball technology. If a 52' pattern only has 14mL of oil , you can play the gutter. Sure you'll need to break the oil down a little bit, but if you get an aggressive ball with lots of surface that oil is gone by the 5th frame of the first game guaranteed. The reverse is also true: If you are faced with a 35' pattern with 40mL of oil, get ready to go all the way inside, stay aggressive, and loft the gutter cap if necessary. Volume is everything when it comes to oil patterns. Unless it's 80' I guess lol

35 ft you want to use a urethane ball up 5

you guys have made me better thru knowledge.. yall do a great job not only explaining the process buy WHY the process works.. the WHY is key. keep up the great videos, you guys rock

This is a excellent video for learning how to read your lanes... I'm definitely going to try this out and see if it can help with being able to find the shot early... Thanks Guys!!

Great tip! I used this method at the USBC Open Championships in Las Vegas and it was very effective. No more guessing the oil pattern, just find the right and most effective line. Thanks guys!

This is super helpful. I've always wondered how you would line up on some of the more difficult patterns out there. This is some info I've been needing.

Thanks for the tutorial video. Very helpful for us average bowlers who love the game. Kudos to both of you.

I love the content guys especially the vlogs keep up the great work

I really like this info about your surroundings. I tend to play deeper than I should. So many behind the headpin strikes that don't carry bc the ball is late.

Great video. I am going to now start my league practice with going up 5 and then move to 15 and go from there. Thanks for the great tip.

I enjoy watching all of your videos on how to bowl better. Thanks for all that you guys do.

Thanks guys for this great info, I will be using from now on.

@ 2:16 It seem like every Tuesday night on league I'm facing an 80 foot pattern. What a world!!! I think I'm going to be able to learn something here. I hope to continue watching as soon as I feed 12 hungry cats. And thanks Brad, I hope you're right that I don't need to study the names of oil patterns (you can just ignore my last question about what pattern was the TOC) looks like if I learn what you are teaching I'm good to go on any pattern and can start shooting 250's like Kyle!!!! :) Yes???

Yalls videos are so useful thank you for them and good luck at the next pba stop.

AWESOME JOB... i just started bowling and been watching ton of vids .. i saw a vid from u guys from 2018 and then watched this and u guys have gotten so much better... thanx so much for doing these vids guys keep up the great work.. And remember when teaching anything it's almost never a bad thing to over explain every detail especially since it's not pro bowlers watching ur vids its mostly guys like me who r just starting out and have no clue yet... LOL

Great advice. Great method to dissect the pattern.

Just saw u guys at the lanes yesterday in Akron!!! Good luck fellas

great advice. Thanks!

This video single handedly changed my game for tournaments. Thanks guys

I NEEDED this. Thanks.

Thank you for this info.

I love you guys especially since all of your videos are filmed at my favorite bowling alley

Sorry for my ignorance...when you throw different lines, what determines your starting spot with your feet. I’m a new bowler and would love to know a rule of thumb on where to start for the 5 arrow, where to start for the 15 and then the 23 as you did in this video. I’ve always started on the same spot and moved arrows to find the pocket... seems there should be a better strategy

It's a little different for everybody. First you have to walk consistently. If your starting on the same board every time but finish on a different each time you should work on a consistent approach first. Once you've settled that one in experiment a little o. Where to stand and where to look to hit certain targets(you should be looking for a target at around 40ft). You should be using a plasticball that doesn't hook for this. That's because Reactive balls will skid differently on different patterns and therefore might corrupt what your seeing. You should have a couple of base setups for where to play the lane. I have 3 base setups for 3 different basic lines(8 to 5 / 18 to 7 and 32 to 9) From there I usually make 2 and 1 or 1 and 1 moves. The first number tells how far I move my feet and the seconds how far I move my eyes. I use 2 and 1 to keep the breakpoint the same and 1and1 to move the breakpoint. The 1 and 1 should work for every player. It moves the whole line by a board. The move you have to make to keep the breakpoint the same and alternate the laydown can be different for each player. However most of the bowlers make either 3and1 or 2and1

I just started bowling i know nothing about the sport I play for fun but now I want to get into it because of my son I bowled a avg of 133 today but you guys have helped me understand alot more about the sport think you guys

Brad and Kyle post, I click, I like. Simple

Great tip going to try this tomorrow at league,C if it helps

Also i was taught this method when i was young to “paint the picture “ as u guys nicely call it Ive been bowling for 30yrs

This doesn't work for a amateur especially an older one because it takes us one game just to warm up. And alot of us dont always throw the ball the same way every time. I like old school that taught to stand in middle and adjust your shot starting with throwing the ball over the second arrow the move your feet left if the ball hooks more or right if the ball doesnt hook

@@darrinlindsey what they still laminated or synthetic surfaces on the lanes and they still use urethane or reactive resin for bowling balls. Most everyone in the tour will use if there right handed the second arrow 10 board to figure out there strategies for handling the surface there bowling where it be a 35 ft oil pattern or a 45 ft oil pattern eventually that ball will either start out over the 10 board and move out to between that mark and the 1 or 2 board or anywhere in between all they they do is adjust left or right on approach

Thanks you guys are awesome. One question... does it make sense to watch other bowlers even though they have different rotation on the ball?

Where your sliding foot should land +7 boards on your intended release point. Right handed players slide foot is about 7 boards left of your release point, vice versa for leftys. 7 is a rule of thumb, but depending on your body size (skinny/wide) it could be 5 or 8 boards. I hope this makes sense. If not try asking some bowlers or a coach.

@@darrinlindsey Thank you for the ideas and the videos. I totally understand different strokes for different folks, I get it. One of the key items in the video was to watch others as they bowl. If I do that in my league or other tournaments I can see their lines and I can see where there feet are when they start and finish. On this video I don't get to see that, which is the reason I am asking "What was Kyle's specific start location for his feet for each of those shots?" Thank You again for the video suggestion Brian B and for your insight Darrin Lindsy.

I've bowled for years and never realized any of this lol, nice vid.

What would you recommend for high school bowling matches where we only get 2 shots on each lane?

Some times you can't use the same ball on all of your lines tries because you may need a different ball for the pattern. That's why being a professional is beneficial because your sponcer (if you have one) sends you balls till they come out of your ears to drill to any pattern you encounter.

Great video as always, but what happens if you do not get hook straight up 5?

Do you make enough from KZread to cover your tournaments? That's the dream. 😅

147k sub ! Wow! I feel like bowling is back!

Trying to top my Storm/Roto Arsenal, I need a really strong asymetrical solid ball, I am a 2 hander, any suggestions?

Hi B&K, My strategy is that instead of moving in, I use a weaker ball and even go down to the weakest for extremely dry lane conditions but keeping my same board to stand and same target...also combine a bit of more speed...also incase needed, I stop the axis tilt and go in for a forward roll rather than side rolling but I do keep the same board for standing and also the target arrow/board. I feel for 'myself only' that more I come in, the worst I do is stretching my hand out and many a times the ball doesnt come in leaving 1-2-4 -10 split! I am RH and 90% of my shots are skid-snap rather than inside-out. Let me know if my strategy is correct. If any correction is needed then please do suggest. Can you please suggest some balls 'each' for heavy oil/medium oil/dry oil based on only 'skid-snap' style which is that I need balls with 'backend' but NOT of traction/continous? Thanks.

Question regarding this 3 shot "picture". I am a heavy set guy and typically very stiff when I begin league play. Will this work for me if I am not yet fully loose?

Search for "Drop Your Damn Shoulder" exercises by Joe Slowinski, if his tutorials are still on this website. He has all kinds of drills you can do at home.

I have used a similar method but I go straight up the lane trying to see the oil variation. You did not do this. Seems you threw every shot at the 6 pin. How did you pick your down lane target?

Hey, that's the game. It's solving an every changing riddle.

@ 2:35 Brad says it all... that shot IS usually my first shot ROFL!!!!!

Where do you guys look on the lane when you go through your approach and swing/release?

How u tell when to use polished or dull ball?

Literally watching this video while I soothe my new born daughter. Gotta get strategy in those cute little ears early :) if nothing else she’ll maybe understand dads struggle a bit!!

I use a similar method, but I take 6 shots. Breakpoints need to be changed to see where the miss room is located. I tend to miss outside, so my miss room needs to be there, so I move my feet and breakpoint to allow for the miss.

New to bowling. When he says 5 spot or 15 spot on the floor, what exactly does that mean?

Will u do a video for what to do when up 5 doesn't hook?

@Shitmer

4 жыл бұрын

That could just mean the gutters are oiled so that’s when you move your mark inside

Asking people how to bowl on specific patterns sounds like a good idea, but once you realize that the lane type, lane topology, oil type, oil machine, lane temperature, ball temperature, etc etc all make such a difference on how the lane will play you realize the question isn't really going to be helpful.

How often would you use surface up 5 or other parts of the lane in practice to create hook spots?

@SirJoelsuf1

4 жыл бұрын

All the time. This is how the best college teams transform insane sport shots into modified house shots. This is exactly what I do myself on medium patterns (or even long patterns that are modified to have less volume). Carving a line on the outside is very useful and in many cases necessary.

People tend to use what they call their benchmark ball for test shots, and move on from there with there more extreme layouts/surfaces depending. So id venture to say more your medium ball in your arsenal, if you go to either extreme as a test, you have to make more ball changes if you start out with the wrong one.

For me this tends to be my medium aggression ball that kinda reads the mid lane well also. If it goes too long it doesnt tell me much about the pattern earlier, and if i use a ball that rolls too early it tells me less about the oil through the mid lane and end of the pattern.

What ball are you throwing Kyle?

How do you find out the length of the oiling pattern? Thx Kelly

Especially game 15

Brad you are missing something with that opening comment about what the pattern is, unless I am misunderstanding something. We dont always have the luxury of bringing 12 balls to a tournament. So a good starting point, what kind of strength equiptment, etc let's us narrow down a bag. My chetah bag looks a lot different than my dragon bag. Just my 2 cents.

Sir Joelsuf thank you

I try 3 or 4 different places in practice as well. Say if I had done the same 3 places and got the same results that 15 works best but then I see everyone else jump on 15. I will go grab a weaker ball and then go back to the 5 or the 10 that hit to strong and see if I can make that work. If you can get on a line that no one else is on or very few then it will not transition as fast. Like wise I pay attention as the game goes on and if more people start going to my line as their line transitions I often keep my weaker ball and go back to wear they was at say 15 but since they are no longer their and even though they burned the lane on 15 my weaker ball may still be in play there. If not I can step up a ball. I almost always start with my strong ball if I can but I like to throw 3 different balls in practice so I have a idea what ball I want to go to next. There is for sure a lot of strategy and mental game that goes into bowling. And Having a 3 ball arsenals minimum is a must. Not including a spare ball. My strong ball I can throw it then go to ball number, 2 and step right 2 boards and it will land the same spot then my weaker ball I move right another 3 boards and it will finish in the same spot. Havin a arsenals and understanding the difference in how they roll is a must.. I also have a few more balls that fit in between those because I always bring 6 minimum.. No pro is going to bowl with one ball up the 10 board all 3 games but yet I see league bowlers try and do it all the time. They start out good the first few frames but don't move or change balls and follow the transition, and all night their ball goes further left every ball until they are all on Brooklyn. You have to understand lane condition and have a arsenal to match up with the condition. Bowling a sport shot league is the best way to learn to follow transition. Trying to figure the lanes out is what makes it fun.

Can U please tell me how you're adjusting where you're standing when you're adjusting where you are throwing? I've just started taking lessons & bought a reactive ball. What confuses me is if you need the oil, why do you start on 5 which is usually dry to hook onto more friction at the end of the lane? I really need this explained in very simple terms to try to understand this.
