I skip weekends all together. There's no weekend leagues at my bowling alley. I usually bowl mondays right after seniors league. Not much oil breakdown.

My alley loft requires on Friday and Saturdays. Leagues aren't those days and they know most league bowlers don't go then, so they don't oil and if they do its very light.

Nick, years ago I was bowling in a 4 game match point scratch league. I was the sole lefty on the pair. By the end of the 3rd game I had burned in a deep line to the pocket that was reading early and I was down to my last ball, a Hammer Backlash (Blue/Silver). Moving in didn't work because there was a cliff of oil, so out of desperation I moved back to my burned in line and started to loft the ball to keep it from reading early. It worked and I continued lofting the ball in the 4th game. By the end of it I was heaving the ball to the arrows, but I was in the pocket and carrying. I managed to shoot 300 this game doing exactly what you are suggesting. I can't help but laugh a little because my strategy was the result of desperation, not out of being smart, but it worked and now it's a good memory. Keep up the good work - much appreciated!

LET’S GOOO HUTCH!!! So happy to see the cross platform support & you both do an amazing job with your bowling content 👏🏾✊🏾🎉

I get a jolt of energy when i hear "with Specto running, of course!!". Need that on a tshirt

my technique to control roll and rotation is the pinky adjustment. Pinky stretched out, more roll. Pinky close to the other fingers, more side rotation.

Fun fact: If Your loft is long like mine; You can see the ball curve in Air due its core. (Gas Mask or 3D Offset cores).

Thanks for the video. I tried to loft the ball it improved my ball’s hooking. Thanks for the idea.

nicely done..thanks for the video

If I loft it any more management will be down telling me to pack it up. HAHA I appreciate this video Nick!

Great video. I’ll need to keep these ideas in mind

Thanks Nick, I’ll play with this tonight at Santa Clarita. I used to get a little more loft a few years back. I’ll try it! Ed thanks.

Terrific video Nick .. from Australia.

Great trip to know as lanes break down.

Love it, and it's as true as it is poetic... When it hits too soft add loft......

Love thge old school tricks!! (AKA making the lane shorter) Great stuff Nick!!

Awesome video! Two 👍👍

Hell yeah, Hutch!!! #TeamHype

When I learned to bowl, my coach told us to consider loft when we needed to throw the ball over dry splinters on head burned lanes. 😎 For Saturday morning youth leagues, this was weekly.

I grew up bowling in a wood house as well.

The way I see things Nick is you have both loft and L.O.F.T and that settles that. By the way, it isnt lack of, it is lots of. Your talent is underrated and always on display. As someone with not a very high rev rate; you show us you can play any part of the lane and at any angle. Now, on to the next video. LOL!

On the Endeavor throws, you can see more revs with the lofted shot on the side by side angle. Nice editing!

SPECTO read those shots at 294rpm and 303rpm respectively. 👍🏻

That particular Hype shirt is really sweet too

I had so much loft when I started and had a 12 pound ball

I try to lift the ball a little but Don’t always get it done. But it does give me better entry into pocket and better shots

HYPE fan 👍

Even your “consciously getting it down early” shot has more loft than I get naturally. I can’t wrap my mind around how people can hold onto it long enough to loft the ball. Is it just a matter of squeezing it more? I use a VERY tight thumb hole and have no reverse pitch, and I stink at lofting. Any thoughts?

@brunsnick

Try delaying the rotation of the ball. I use a snug thumb and forward pitch in the thumb, I kind of visualize it off my hand how I want and use my plant leg to help launch the ball.

Great Video!! Have you ever done a vid on how to bowl against teams in league that all bowl straight down the middle? Most with wicked spinner action that go all over. Is lofting needed then too, as everyone on my team including myself struggle with the way the lanes break down. What is a possible ball choice and place to play on a lane witht this type of breakdown. Thanks

I’m not even “certified”. 😁

What do you think of those guys that always bowl near me, lofting house balls, thumbless, all night and getting radical spin, curve action, and yes strikes? Pretty sure some loft it out half way down the lane, and 5' high. I'm probably not a fan because my wrist can't handle it. Well it's irritating too, because they always celebrate, when I'm taking my modest conventional curve shot with minimal revs using a resin ball. I had my girlfriend almost convinced, that the patrons behind our lane were scouts for Storm and Brunswick, checking me out, but these guys always seem to show up, next to our lane!

always great content, straight forward explanation, thanks for posting

For low rev bowlers like myself is loft needed? I generally have three balls, a strong, medium and weak, and as the lane breaks down I just stay put and ball down as needed to keep the same shot going.

Might be something to test! Never know!

Hi Nick when you loft you miss several feet of oil, when its there, so the ball picks up more oil and this smooths out the reaction!

@brunsnick

5 ай бұрын

Not really, the ball cannot hook or create friction in the air. Lofting shortens the lane and in this case, increased the entry and impact angle along with the continuation with reactive balls.

I bowl at a house that has extremely wet dry conditions with carry down. I'm about ready to quit. I guess I could try lofting, it will be the only thing I haven't tried.

@brunsnick

Typically, more surface is key. Not sure what all you’ve tried, but there may be an ideal ball/surface combo that will work.

Hi Nick -- Fellow lofter here (My knees are not what they used to be, can't bend as much). How do you feel about the "double dribble" bounce inherent with the loft. Does it bother you or is it something that you don't even notice?
