Let's see episode 2. There can never be too many training videos.
Yeah, we want more training videos… It’s why we’re here watching the channel 😂 Maybe a video about where you’re looking… the dots, the arrows… no where 😂
Loved your demonstration on staying behind the ball. Add me to the list of wanting to see more.
As a new bowler, this perspective (not from a pro) helps me tremendously.
Keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward to more videos.
Will definitely watch version 2
This video is the best explanation I’ve found on TH-cam. Well done keep em coming.
Wow, thanks! I really appreciate that!
That was great. A refresher always helps. I’m working on the same thing myself.
Yes, please, part 2. I enjoy the instructional videos.
Coming from a bowler making the transition from two fingers to a conventional style, yes, please let’s have Episode 2! This was super helpful! Thank you!
Been bowling for 1 month, thank you this is what I was looking for.
I like these videos keep doing them
I appreciate the way you break things down and explain the expected result. I would certainly watch a part 2!
I've recently subscribed as well. Awesome content and would love to see part 2. My track rings are too tight.
Great tutorial! Do more tutorials.
Good pointers there Luis. Though I thought there was some contradicting things at times. Something that caught hard was, why was the 2nd 1 step shot “really good”, you said it was good “because of timing” when did we work on that?
Trying to figure out my own swing - this has been the most thorough explanation. Thank you!!!
glad you liked it! Im constantly working on it!
Excellent video! I'm a beginner with a Storm Tropical Surge and a Storm Phase 2.
Appreciate your efforts
Definitely waiting for the next one
I enjoyed your video, Louis. I'm one that always bowled with a slight curve but mostly straight. So I've been watching videos for the past 3 months on how to throw a hook, as well as the proper techniques from start to finish (aka footwork, body posture & position & releases) but find myself missing a step or two on most throws. Realizing that improving muscle memory through repetitive practicing techniques is essential, as is unlearning bad habits that I'd picked up years ago. Self discipline & learning to be patient when I find the simple practice techniques tedious & boring (such as the ones in this video). There's a reason I'm unable to throw hooks well enough & consistently and it's because I haven't focused enough effort in the pre-bowling warmup practice techniques that you're teaching us. That all changes today & I'm looking forward to a 2nd Video to follow this one. Thank you for keeping it simple when that's just what the doctor ordered.
Nice Video. Thanks. It would be nice to see the next phases.
Really helpful. Struggling to get a good release thumb fully in. Get awesome revs thumb half in but lose a lot of control..
This video right here helps break it down , and you made it more understandable and I’m sure it will help bowlers that wanna improve… looking forward to vid#2
More please!
Thank you for this video
Great video content was great looking forward to the .next one.
I am getting back into the game after many years away. Thank you for making this video 👍
I subscribed. You’ve been putting out some great content
Thanks for this. It helps me to better understand some of the tips people have been giving me.
Wow thank you, I love how you teach this reputation to fix bad habits, please make more videos on the approach, and placement to be more consistent.
Hey i was actually here for the premiere😂. Love the content.
Love videos like this. Plz keep making them.
Love the training video and looking forward to more thank you
Appreciate your video. I bowl straight this helped me understand the technique and drills to learn how to hook. And you did not make it over complicated was nice and simple. Would like see me more videos like this !!
I love your videos they're awesome and so helpful, thanks!! ❤❤
more educational videos like this, i'm starting to get back to the sport and these videos do help me alot
Thank you!!!! You are fantastic!!! Do more please!
Really enjoyed the video. I intend to start using the drills today! Thanks!
Loved it waiting on part 2 3 and 4
I’m waiting for the next lesson as well. That one was great.
Love to watch this training video. Let go for the part 2 please. thank you
Really good video, will watch part 2
Thank you for your help. 👍🏽
Can’t wait for part 2!
Very helpful video. Looking forward to the next.
Thanks! Working on that!
A added version would be great as well.
yes, let's see the next episode i love this type of stuff looking forward to it louis
I will work on it!
I watched this video but didnt do any drills. Last night at league i must have applied something from the video because the track was right by my thumb all night. Has never happened before. So thank you 🙏
Good stuff! More please.
Definitely a great video now I was just practicing here at home. My problem is sometimes I don’t try to spend the ball by this try to put some speech/ref behind the shot and I sometimes try too hard and that’s how I gutter that’s part of my inconsistency my friends are trying to tell me the suitcase/shaking hands method, I like their analysis but for my autism and fine motor skills it’s a little challenge the fourth suggestion, professional, you guys talk about is what it’s more about being behind the ball. That’s what I wanna do do you need to slide? Here’s my opinion about that my fear is, I’m afraid someone’s gonna fall and hurt and the proof is in the pudding. I was bowling with one of my uncles. He did slip and fall when he slid onto the lane. He was OK Thankfully. I stopwhen I got to the line for that reason.
Can’t wait for the second part! As someone who has been bowling off an on for nearly 20 years and never learned how to throw the fingertip grip, I’m looking to make that next step to evolve past the conventional grip and learn how to hook the ball properly.
I like your demonstration on staying behind the ball. Please add me to the list of wanting to see more.
Helped very much thank you
You’re welcome!!
Nice Video, Thanks
Ready for episode 2, Luis.
Excellent video ! ,I tend to get the chicken wing ,my arm cross over . So I need toget my hand under the ball, fingers and thumb point to the the pins . Question for you ,do you keep your fingers under the equater, (center line parallel to floor) or above when released? What about cupping or keep the wrist flat with the forearm ? Thanks for the video !
Great Video! Need to improve my technique.
Glad it was helpful!
I'm ready for episode 2 bring it on. Lets learn to bowl better :)
I’ll make it happen!!
I'm a beginner..very good tips
Good stuff
Great episode. Yes keep on mixing it up.
Please more training videos! Thank you. Keep up the great work.
Very good video. I have a bit of spin on release. Low/med track. Trying to work on a better release. Definitely a helpful video. Thanks
Thank You for your videos: Yes another video showing more steps would be extremely helpful. I for one appreciate your time and effort to help bowlers to be better and for your ball reviews, again Thank You.
I appreciate that so much!
Please continue these videos, really informative and shows how the hand comes through the ball.
Will do!
Good stuff.
I liked it. Always need to improve
Thank you
I have a rev trainer im great on that but come game time not so much🤷🏾♂️
Good morning Luis napoles how are you doing this morning
Great information. By the way, nice audio with the wireless lapel mic.
I appreciate that feedback!
Great video! Episode 2 please
Will be working on that!
I can't make it to the alley to practice a lot ao im going to try some of these with a few pillows in the living room. Great video!
You can do it like that as well! Especially the ones from your knees!
Yep. Loved it. When I first started bowling with a house ball I did this. Then I saw good bowlers spinning the crap outta the ball and I started twisting my hand. Will going back to this make me play more outside bc now I’ll get less hook? Play nova and iQ tour solid.
I bowl with someone whose never bowled before(like she thought u were supposed to throw the ball...i guess "overhand;" basically fingers first) im working with her to train her a bit and these tips will help. I may just tell her to watch the video before next league night. Keep them coming though, they'll be a great help
5 step approach. Thanks
Coming soon!
That was nice …. I want more
Awesome video! If you can't afford to go bowling like that, you can modify the first drill using the ball spinner.
What are the next drills? I have old school game and looking to get more revs. Drills like these our my go to improve my 170 avg game to the next level. Thanks again.
I will work on a video for that!
More educational content please and thank you! 🥰
La explicación y ejemplos muy buenos 👍
Muchas gracias!
very helpful to me..tq..not too advance..totally for beginner..good advice..will try that tomorrow with my black widow hybrid 2.0..im a straight bowler with average 200..but to join club, i need to be either hook player or spinnner@some call helicopter...
I'm glad it was helpful!
As someone who is looking to relearn how to release properly, I like this video and hope to see part 2. One question, as we are releasing up the back are we relying on the coverstock and core in the ball to provide the hook rather then trying to spin it ourselves?
I need episode 2 now!!!!
I am working on it!
Yes mote of these.
Part 2 🙏 please!
hey Luis my bad habits is coming back so I'm doing the down on the knee shots im doing 20 at home and at the alley i wanted to ask if my track is still low do i go to the next step down on the knee with the lefting of the ball thank you for the video
if the track is still low that means you are moving something when there should be zero wrist movement
Luis: Don't lift the ball, don't spin the ball.
Practically everyone in my league: Lifts and spins the ball haha
This was really good, gonna start doing stuff like this on my channel once I get some coaching certifications and a few honor scores to show that I'm actually good lol.
Def need more videos
Thanks!
Good instruction. I am battling a totally inconsistent release. Virtually all videos are shot from behind or from the side. I would appreciate one from down lane. A close up of how the ball comes off your thumb and fingers.
I am 72 years old and I throw 16 pound balls. I take a 5 step approach with virtually no sliding. Two years ago I had a 204 average. Last year I ended with a 199 average, first time under 200 average since 1971. I know the house had to get a different oil.(no choice) I have no problem throwing 16 lb balls. Does new oil make that much difference. Other bowlers are also having issues also.
Thanks Dean
I have not been bowing from the 8th week of league, because of heart problem had surgery going on 3 months I AM GOING TO USE YOUR VIDEO TECHNICH TO START PRACTICING ON MARCH 3RD AND WILL PRACTICE'S ALL SUMMER TO GET READY FOR FALL, BY THE WAY I HAD OPEN HEART SURGERY
oh gosh! Good luck on back to bowling!
Luis I would like to see more stuff to get better thanks
Episode two please ✊
Luis, when you lift the ball off the ground, how do you keep your hand behind the ball/fingers under the equator without excessive grip pressure? Obviously, some grip pressure is necessary, but where should you feel it? I find I have difficulty keeping my hand behind the ball without squeezing, even after having my fit checked. You always hear how you're supposed to keep your arm and wrist muscles relaxed throughout the swing, but how do you do that while simultaneously keeping your hand in the correct position to release the ball?
trying yea!
I would like more videos. One on how to stop leaving so many 10 pins.
The video shows you throwing off the back of the ball like a yo yo. But your last 2 shots where you get the curve you are turning your wrist inward to get rotation. It is not a full suit case type throw but you do turn your wrist inward. Can you elaborate on this in your next video. Thanks
I commented on that as well.
I am a one handed no thumb bowler, right handed. My track is inverted, very close to the middle finger and angled over the ring finger. The track doesn't seem to change whether i stay behind the ball or if i come off the side. Any comments please?
That was awesome video, but I wanted to see more how you released the ball off your fingers
i foolowed your release and practicing at least a week now, My problem is my bowling ball track is very low, I WANT TO KNOW WHEN CAN I GET A NHIGHER TRACK ON MY BOWLING BALL IS THERE ANY TECHNIQUE FOR THIS? THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR FUTURE REPLY
This is what I do to get a higher track!
Why follow through straight? Shouldn't the drills follow through as if you wanted to hook the bowling ball? From taking shooting instruction Jerry Miculek would call that negative training. Please explain that point to help me understand. Thanks for your time and attention to detail.
No. As for why, the simplest answer is "a bowling ball is not a shotgun", and you're not trying to hit a moving target. Right off your hand, the ball travels in the direction of your swing and follow through. Thanks to modern cores and cover stocks, the ball will hook and change direction down lane whether you like it or not. You're not creating hook, you're controlling it. Your job is to direct the ball to an appropriate breakpoint down lane, and let the ball do the rest... you're aiming at a fixed point on the lane (the breakpoint , NOT at the pocket.
