    Brad has always been great but recently his ability to teach and communicate is phenomenal. Kyle too, you both seem to have really stepped into the role of coach seamlessly. You have always been about education in my eyes and im so happy to see how much you have both improved your ability to teach and really helpfully communicate these confusing ideas so well. "Stay up the back" but "get around it" etc. Without feeling it for yourself its so hard to explain good bowling technique and be able to apply it in practice without a coach present.

      My second time practicing these tips after a week and a half off from league. I just went to practice and averaged 202 over 5 games. Throwing one strike ball on one lane and my only other ball on the other lane. What I learned and applied from your video of Kyle teaching an amateur was so helpful. I understand forward ball roll now and breaking the wrist and setting the ball down. That one video literally improved my average 45 pins. Please keep making great education videos. Long time fan and you are only improving.

    Great tips, as always. I don’t have really strong legs, but my dad is always telling me “use your legs, not your back.” Some shots I feel like I’m balanced at the line and my trail leg is down, other times I bend from my back (unintentionally) and I pull the shot. Slow work in progress.

    I'm in a wheelchair. So, I do not have a choice but to generate power with my arms. The key for me is to stay smooth with my armswing right up to the time my thumb starts to come out of the ball. This is where I try to hit the ball hard with my follow thru so that I can gain that couple extra revs and maybe half a mph ball speed.
    There are times, though, when it is best to have a smoother release and not hit up on the ball at the release.
    However, with that said, I can definitely tell when I try to generate power too soon on my down swing. My ball speed actually slows down. My thumb does not release from the ball correctly. And 9 times out of 10, I will miss my mark left by 3 to 5 boards.

    Been riding my bike on a trainer in my basement daily for over 1 months. Going 5-6 miles in 20 minutes. My legs are reverting to when I was in my 40s. Yes, I am 71 now. Just bowled a 706 last week. Leg 🦵 day!

  • @speedybean807

    This video helps a lot on insight on that because I struggle with ball speed and don’t really push of a whole lot when I get to the power step

    I definitely appreciate all these videos because half of them I didn’t even realize I was doing wrong til I seen them and they have helped me out tremendously. I’m 29 and got my first 600 series in league in April and I’ve been practicing a lot and I’m seeing myself slowly starting to get a lot better, especially with usually only able to practice one day a week before league because of work. I definitely appreciate the videos so much and I hope after my vacation this month I hope I’ll be able to join the membership not too long after!

  • @JamesTheG1ant

    Thank you for the great tutorial videos, as usual!
    This helped me correct a misconception with the approach. Many intermediate players have the leaky trail leg. 4:10
    I always thought that was a good thing to have because of how commonly I saw it. I’m glad this video was able to correct that misconception.
    I generally tend to keep my leg straighter than your average intermediate bowler and always thought that was a leak in my game. I’m glad to hear it’s quite the opposite and I hope to keep improving on it to generate more power and hook. Thanks again guys!

  • @JR-iy7pb
    @JR-iy7pb ปีที่แล้ว

    Love your videos. I practiced this in the week and then tried it out in league last night and got my best ever series score: 214, 236, 185. Was gutted I choked on the third game as I've never gotten three 200+ games in league, but this has definitely helped me take a step (pun intended) in the right direction. Thanks guys!

  • @jabaristrozier

    Love the content and had an additional question: Given the heat and humidity on this side of the country, it's common for some approaches to be "Stickier" than others (I,e, after it rains). Are there any tips or recommendations for sustaining power through one's legs while bowling on approaches where sliding is difficult?

  • @michaelbonnette873
    @michaelbonnette873 ปีที่แล้ว

    Some great tips that I need to work on for sure. I've never been able to slide much and my balance is usually not great. But it all kinda makes sense now of why I don't because I've always just kinda planted and never really pushed off with the power step. Good stuff to work on for sure.

  • @CherryCoke98_
    @CherryCoke98_ ปีที่แล้ว

    Can you guys do a video about mindset? I have trouble trying to keep my mind on bowling when ever I’m in a slump and do worse, something like “how to recover on a bad frame” or “what to think about between frames”

    Bowl in a house with above ground ball returns. I’m so conscious about it that it has helped in newer houses keeping my trail leg back.

    I’ll be showing my age with this comment, but the best example of lower body power and positioning I can think of is Jason Couch. Loving him or hating him aside... back in the day Couch’s leg work and hip positioning was picture perfect for creating power.

  • @mattgeiger8247
    @mattgeiger8247 ปีที่แล้ว

    I used to muscle the ball, I get excellent rotation but 12 to 13 mph. Now slide properly and its now 17 to 18mph, less ball movement but much better carry

  • @johnclemit2830

    First it was nice seeing you at the open kyle. Second what should someone do if they have the opposite problem my trail leg doesn't get behind my slide leg?

  • @Mrich1109
    @Mrich1109 ปีที่แล้ว

    When you slide what part of your foot do you use? are you more flush using your entire foot,are you putting more pressure on the front part of your foot?

    tips on staying behind the ball? i find that i have a nice cupped hand around my ball in the back swing but then when i come forward that i end up more ontop of the ball which robs me a ton on revs

  • @tonynguyen9059
    @tonynguyen9059 ปีที่แล้ว

    You guys always talk about the 4 or 5 step approach but I find myself doing 3 or else I hit the foul line. So with taking 3 big step approaches should my ball speed be faster or slower?

    @chuckhouck1485 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I never had a "slide" and I don't feel comfortable trying to slide now. I kind of stomp or have a "step into finish". Is this a very bad thing if I need to work on my ball speed? I did buy one of those shoe covers that help you slide but when I tried it I had no control of my shot so I stopped trying it. Is not having a slide such a bad thing? Are there any pros who "stomp" or step into the approach like I do? Please make a video on this if you can.

    I have a question not necessarily asking Brad and Kyle but just asking the comment section, if another bowler came around like Pete Weber without the drugs and controversy but a trash talking star came around, would it benefit the game because more people would watch or would it hurt it because of how the other pros and even just enthusiasts would react to that person, or any other outcomes

  • @SpudicusMaximus

    Damn LMNT get's around! Does it actually taste any good? Like for reals? I've been trying different stuff out, some is straight nasty! So far best is Dr Berg Electrolyte Powder Tangerine. Then again I tend to stay away from the high salt mixes.

    Idk if it’s luck or what but I stumbled into this exact issue in my practice this past week, and I’ve been struggling conquering it on my own. Thanks for posting this, and especially rn. I’m gonna have to try working these tips in my next practice. I have a feeling it’s gonna have a secondary effect of helping me get through my release slot better, too. Cheers!

  • @yankeesrule587

    I'm kinda losing interest because they treat bowlers like we're to simple to figure out different oil patterns. You don't take care of the top down or the bottom up you take care of all real bowlers. The hope is fading that this sport will wise up. I'm moving to golf more and more thanks for all these "rules" because the sport is bleeding out terribly. I can play a round of golf with my friends for 3x cheaper then it is to get a lane ATM any bowling ally. The overcharging for lanes is killing the game.

    How does salt (electrolytes) help keep hydrated? It makes you more thirsty and is bad for you, like kidney stones.

    • @chrisarmistead2440
      @chrisarmistead2440 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Sodium is a critical electrolyte that, along with potassium and chloride, helps to deliver water to your body's cells. That means a diet that's too low in sodium can actually increase your risk of dehydration.
