I have been working on keeping my left arm in until the downswing

Too much math for me. I target where I lay the ball down to where the break point is. I have no idea where my feet are or where my ball goes across the arrows because those points dont matter.. If I lay the ball down the same place, it should go where the last shot went until the lanes transition.

I don't understand what you mean by drifting left on the approach. Doesn't drifting defeat the purpose?

I can't align on my lanes because they keep lights on low all the time. I literally can't see the arrows well enough most of the shots. Bowlero, are you listening..

Oh my God, thank you so much for this information. Lately, I've been having some trouble finding the pocket this video will help me so much thank you I appreciate it. 🙏

Show the windmill style. I'd like to see a 300 done with all 12 strikes with the WindMill style. I seen the last ball thrown for a 300 as the WindMill here on TH-cam.

Great video! The ball that Benjy threw in the end went a tad high. What would be the proper way to adjust for that? I would assume you would move to the left your slide point and/or your arrows to keep the same break point of 10?

Rookie one hand fingers in holes bowling.

I’m color blind and have trouble separating the boards, also I have zero depth perception 🤷‍♂️

Thank you so much... this is what my problem is.. You solved it.. Because I grew up old school I keep walking to my target and not able to play in n out...only straight up...Thank you Thank you Thank you...I have one question to play the inside shot alligment do you have to have ball rev.. to do this... I am a ball speed dominate????and thank you again

This is a well made video, but a simplification of the equation of alignment. And another simplification about where to slide in relation to laydown point. You mention 5 boards, but that is what is known as "personal number" and it is not 5 for everyone.

Your math is not correct, it considers that your breakpoint is 15 feet from the arrows, that is 30 feet. Lane is 60 feet from foul line to the 1 pin, if we consider the breakpoint to be at 45' then the distance from the arrows to the breakpoint is 30' and the distance from the foul line to the arrows is 15' that is half of 45'. So if you want your breakpoint to be at the 10th board and the ball is at the 20th board at the arrows, that means that the laydown point is going to be half the difference, that is 20 plus 5 (half of 10) so it is 25 not 30 as you state, plus 5 you have to slide at 30 not 35. What am I missing is there some kind of compensation of 5 boards because of the ball reaction or how you came to the conclusion that the break point is at the same distance from the arrows as the arrows are from the foul line?

I learn so much from Benjy. My no step drill, one step and three step. My release and arm swing. I’m a much improved bowler. Thanks😎

Except NO ONE tells you to just throw up 10. EVERYONE tells you parallel moves. 2 feet, 1 board. And Im old. Sod off. Bad content. Just for hits and clicks.

You look like Frodo left shire and be a pro bowler...

This is what i always looking for, thank you

I really needed to hear this. I've been throwing straight up 10 for 90% of my time as a bowler. After finally figuring out how to increase my revs from ~180 to now ~350 rpm, I have been struggling bad with targeting and alignment. Excellent advice, I'll be taking it with me to my next practice session.

Does it make a difference if you use the dots just a few feet onto the lane? Could you use those points or would you have to trace a line from those points to the breakpoint and figure out which board that would cross at the arrows to do the method shared here? This is very good and something I wasn’t sure about myself, thanks!

Uh oh, telling people NOT to throw straight up 10 will certainly trigger house mouses.

Useful video, I wasted tons of practices sessions making exactly that mistake, cheers mate

dude in the back bowling at the end didn't even try lol

How can I target the right one, for example, am targeting 10th board, but it goes to 8th board? Can't go right on my target!

Thanks from Italy, this is precisely the video I needed. I am a random bowler, precision is my great flaw.

Great video! This is a very big problem for me. Thank you for the content and tips! I’ll have to practice this before my next league night.

I do everything you said wrong about bad alignments and have every issue you said that comes with it! I needed this video!!!

Thanks for this,great 🖐🙂

Your videos are awesome. So are your shoes.

how about straight ball or straight line? hooking alittle bit.

This is an awesome video. I LOVED how you guys broke down the concept of alignment. We'll done!!!

This is an amazing video! It helps me to verify my target system which I find through trial and error. Thank you.

I've found that when my ball rolls around board 7 to 9 at the 40 foot distance I can consistently get to the pocket. When using a relatively weak ball like a Hustle or similar, I find good success by standing about on board 24 with my feet and target board 8 at the 40 foot point. With stronger reactive balls, I'll move to the left with my feet out to board 26 to 29 and find success continuing to target board 8 to 40 feet. Not much calculation, just judgement calls based upon the ball I'm using. If the ball starts to dig in too much, I can decide to either move farther left with my feet or perhaps change my speed a little bit. Thanks for your great video...

“Yeah, science!”

Is the formula always going to be... arrows - breakpoint + 10 (lay down) + 5 (sliding)? What if I was playing straight down 5 board, my lay down would be 10 and sliding at 15. It seems a big angle for throwing it straight doesn't it?

Hi

This is excellent content! Should be required viewing for every bowler.

First to comment on the video good job

I’m not averse to pointing out the negatives, but urethane is so often misunderstood and receives so much ire from other bowlers, that a similar or follow-up TH-cam short explaining what urethane IS good for, would go a long way to not contributing to the ongoing urethane bashing.

Yes, missing spareables.

Add: use a spare ball too?

Show me a straight release for no-thumb 🙏 please

You made an adjustment by your foot.

Nice to be able to get and see instructions from a lefty. Great video.

I can only throw the ball like this lol cant get behind. I think Im trying to throw it to hard and fast

Yeah, great job hitting two pins.

Definitely going to try this.

spare ball

Thank you for this!

Worst IS when you miss à strike because 1 is still standing. Then you miss the still standing 1 😢😢😢

The rule of 31 doesn’t work on long patterns. Let’s say you’re bowling on 52’ badger. 52-31=21. Now your breakpoint is on the opposite side of the head pin. Beyond 45’ it’s useless. Even on a 46’ pattern, throwing your ball to 15 is asking for trouble. You want your ball to hit the pocket at 17.5. The rule of 31 is great for short and medium patterns, on long patterns not so much.
