    Following this video's instructions I completely overhauled my 4-step approach. I repeatedly did drills with a 5 lb practice ball at home until I could complete all the steps without thinking about them. Yesterday tried it out at the lanes and wow! My speed increased by 3.6 mph and my revolution increased by 250 revs. The accuracy was great and the strikes came one after another. This is by far is the best instructional video I've watched. I'm going to have my granddaughter (state level bowler) use it to improve her swing. I've been guilty of telling her she's dropped her shoulder when it's been a timing issue and she's pushing to the right. Thanks again for your fantastic video!

    Thank you for posting this video.....I have been "criticized" by many about my "crossover step" and slightly "dropped shoulder". I tried explaining this to them and they couldn't understand it and said I was doing it wrong...I will show this to them. My game has improved considerably from doing this over the past year. I'm 72 and it is not easy for someone my age to improve at a fast clip ! Again thanks for the "great video"...

      I just returned to bowlng after being out 6 years,,i am now 65 and can hardly break 100,,i usually shoot 180s-210 in league,,i have found that my issue is because of my back issuei am going to have leran a different way to bowl,,,i am pulling most shots,,im thinking my feet are too fast and im not sliding and opening up enough to allow ball pass knee and ankle

    Best instructional video teaching the 4-step approach. It goes into great detail on each step and with repetition and multiple angles. Excellent bowling form! I'm using this video to teach my grandchildren the crossover step to improve their game. I can't wait to hit the lane to implement some changes to my approach too!

    Great video. You continue to be one of the best on TH-cam. Your reviews are by far so helpful, because you actually explain what each ball does, instead of some other "reviewers" that just show crankers throw the ball to heavy metal music. (Not that I don't like heavy metal, but it does nothing for me as far as bowling ball reviews.)
    I hope you continue to put out more of these videos. Good luck the rest of the way!

  • @Procraseighter
    @Procraseighter 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This was done very well and thoroughly explained the approach to the foul line. The only thing I would've added would have been mentioning the importance of the knee bend at the slide to release the ball as low as possible.

I am not flexible not a small guy lol. I'm watching to see wear your feet are at the start compared to your arrow target. I lean over to much right and my swing is 10-15 boards right of my left foot. I see it should be like 5 boards.

    Great Video. Multiple angles and clear explanations makes for a well received presentation. I'm 6'4" and my 2nd step (of 5 step) starts quick but slows which gets my timing 'off'. Looking for a way to get my 2nd step more consistent...

  • @conniecodger4654
    @conniecodger4654 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well done, nicely produced. Im a senior bowler in Canada in mens league - average about 180. Only using 2 balls, Mutant Cell Pearl and plastic for spares so cant do all the ball changes recommended at this time, rely on moving position etc. Your video illustrates the next steps for me, although i agree it is really hard to learn to read the ball reaction changes. Keep up the god work, much appreciated!!

  • @johnparker1708
    @johnparker1708 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi sk8 ,I've enjoyed your videos. I live in England and i play a game that's popular regionally called "Skittles".Don't know if you've ever heard of it.I am not a Ten Pin Bowler but I play for a couple of top Skittles teams.The sport is amateur and we play ten men in each team. In my opinion Ten Pin Bowling is the closest thing to it.Main differences are there are nine pins, not ten and the wooden balls are smaller 4.5 to 5 inches with no holes in them. We play on alleys that are usually around 13 metres long but have no arrow markings.The foul line is only 8 feet in front of the bowler. I doubt if you will find any videos of skittles on internet.Most of the principles of Ten Pin Bowling, I think apply to Skittles.There are Spares,same as Bowling but we bowl the ball straight with no hook on every shot.
    Just wondered if you had heard of it??

    Great Video. I was wondering what kind of ball you're throwing here it kinda looks like an Ebonite Gambreaker 2 the same one I have I just bought and am trying to figure out my mechanics some. Can you also please elborate on where the seam line on your shirt is?

    • @sk8sbowlingreviews
      @sk8sbowlingreviews  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Jeff P The ball is the Storm Crux. The seam line on your shirt is the seam that connects the chest panel of your shirt to the sleeve panel. You will notice the two have a stitched seam there, that is where the ball should be aligned.
      Thanks for watching!

      +sk8sbowlingreviews This Video really has helped me a lot. Im lining up a little in front of where you are. Im about 5'10 so I might be a little shorter than you are. My follow through seems to be the area of my game that needs to be improved. I gotta get away from throwing the ball and more a follow through and roll to get tight into the pocket. Do you have any tips for right handed bowlers that feel they arent getting low enough to their left shin at the end?

    Great video...love how you broke down each step. I'm always telling newer bowlers timing is everything in bowling...2nd only to whatever's going on in your head of course :-)
    You may or may not be able to answer this, but I'm female so obviously we're built differently...would you recommend anything different in starting position since you don't really have hips to contend with? Or, do you know it there's a video tutorial similar to this featuring a female bowler? I'm going watch your Language of the Pins video now...Thoroughly enjoyed this video and I'll be recommending it....Great Job

    • @sk8sbowlingreviews
      @sk8sbowlingreviews  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Raina Casbon-Kelts As a female you will probably start with more lateral (left to right) spine tilt to clear that hip out of the way.Keep in mind that the lateral spine tilt is not just created by your upper body leaning to one side because that pushes your center of gravity outside of your feet. Instead it is a combination of your ball side shoulder getting lower and your ball side hip pushing away from the ball side (right hander would push the right hip left).Hope that helps!

  • @reynegroblackking8912

  • @iconz116
    @iconz116 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sk8, this brings things into great perspective for me. I'm trying to get my timing where the ball is at the top of the backswing as the power step compresses, but I'm having great trouble with it. I have the ball beginning to descend as my power step compresses. I already tried elongating the push away on the second step (5 step approach) and it helped a little bit, but I still can't get it down. Do you think I need to delay the push away until the second step compresses?

    • @sk8sbowlingreviews
      @sk8sbowlingreviews  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Giovanni Mosquera I would try to delay your push away until your heel touches the ground (in step two) and see if that doesn't do the trick!
      Let me know if that helps!

  • @ohniechannel9268

    @williamrandall3786 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This step method of pulling in front both right steps has caused about 3 - 4 boards of drift..Should that be considered normal and OK??

    • @sk8sbowlingreviews
      @sk8sbowlingreviews  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      As long as the "drift" is in line with your targeted swing plane it should be fine.
      Everything should stay on plane as best as possible, so if it seems you are drifting and your swing plane changes as you walk then adjustments need to be made.
