I love Chris Barnes's bowling style! My all time favorite. Simply textbook classic move! I bowl a very similar style with less rotation. I need to keep practicing to get close to his rev range.
I used to use the 4-step approach but now I use 5-step because it gives me better balance and allows me to 'fall' into the rhythm of the approach more naturally than I did the 4-step. Some people find it awkward starting the 4-step approach with all the weight falling into the right side (or the left for lefties) as you push the ball out yet stepping slightly towards the middle in order to make way for the ball to swing back. The 5-step approach might help remedy that with the added 1st step.
It sure brakes into 4, if it is put this way. The timing in the 2.5 steps point is of on Barnes' 5-stepper. The example is only for showing how to take 5 steps instead of 4 in a 4-step approach. It's a matter of momentum and timing. And 5-steps in its pure execution takes care of that. Without any doubt.
Sure. There are lots of them. No matter how many steps you take over 4, the approach eventually breaks down to a 4-step one. Some pros even take like 7 to 8 steps, but those before the last 4 are usually momentum steps that do not interfere with proper timing.
Excellent tips... 4 Vs 5 step very clearly illustrated. The background track in the first half is phenomenal... I've heard it before MANY times but can't place the artist...🤔 I think I heard it on a Miguel Miggs album...
Carrying the ball for too long in the 5-step approach. The first step is separate from a true 5-stepper. There the ball is to be put into the swing when left heel touches the ground. I'd say Mr Barnes uses the 4-stepper when he is bowling... Much better though than the one I saw last spring.
BTW if you see recent footage of chris barnes bowling, he pushes off on the 2nd step of a 4 step approach now. Just goes to show that this rule doesn't apply to everyone, not even the guy who made the video.
Yes. This video is just a tutorial showing how you start off learning the 4- and 5-step approaches. When you're getting better, the actual execution could be adjusted according to conditions. For instance, when you need a higher backswing on that day, you might need to start your pushsway a little earlier, such that the ball still comes down to the release point just after you finish your slide. The most important part is when the ball is released in respect to the moment you finish your slide. All those before this could be individualized.
Hi Allen. If you are talking about a 4-step approach for a right hander, you don't place your left foot (in the 2nd step) right in front of your right foot. In contrast, you should place the right foot in front of your left in the first step, so as to open up space under your right shoulder to allow the ball to drop in a straight vertical plane during the swing, without hitting your thigh, or obstructed by it so that your swing deviates from the vertical plane.
@@tinkst300 as I seen in your video I just seen a foot in front of another this is my biggest problem I can't get a consistent form down so I keep both my feet together then step first with my right? If I'm right handed?
do you really think you're doing anybody any favors by starring out your curse words? if there were kids reading this, which would they be more harmed by, seeing the entire curse word written out (which they can already infer anyway), or the aggression you're displaying in your pointless comments? also, this is the most normal, inoffensive music imaginable. go listen to some grisey
Ok, the thing is - I clicked on this video to learn something, not to be entertained. The music does nothing to improve or enhance the video. I'm sure other viewers also find that music, especially of this genre is a distraction. Yes, there's the probability that kids will see the video and, in my opinion, a greater probability that the video will be viewed by a more mature and serious audience who are only interested in a tutorial to improve their bowling. I would expect music if I was searching out a dance tutorial but the music in this video only served to prompt me to seek out other bowling tutorials to learn from, and I'm also sure that that was not the intent of the video creator.
well, it makes a lot more sense when you explain it that way - but that's just a matter of personal taste in the end, and doesn't really so much give you the authority to question the music's validity as music. apologies for my aggression, but as a musician myself, i'm always compelled to argue against people who disdain music or put it in scare quotes etc.

The best video of Approach in Bowling I have ever seen for the Beginners.
Never learned about the cross over steps in all my years of bowling. Thank you for the tips

Ever notice that you never see Chris Barnes and Kermit the Frog in the same place at the same time?
I won't go into how I was off in my 4 step, but I'll just say that this video helped me.
Thanks for the tips.

Lord who chose that music ? Randy pederson?!
this guy a gamer
He amazing bowling and he sounds like Ray from ice age and everybody love Ray
This is why I feel he is #1 in the world today.

He said Dennis when you’re perfectly work out the crappy music it is such a good video
love the slow mo! incredibly helpful
Music keeps it interesting
What is the proper approach to "Fred Flinstone" it and pull myself along with ball down the lane?.....8 step?
3:31 great shot
Sean Rash has a 4 step approach usually, Brian Keltzer has a 8 step approach and Patrick Allen has been seen with a 7 step approach.
Two or Three < Four??
REMEMBER to step in front of the opposing foot on your 2nd step to make room for your swing
excellent advise I'm surprised he didn't mention this
So does my left foot need to be in front if my right then u step with right foot that's your fist step??
Hi Allen. If you are talking about a 4-step approach for a right hander, you don't place your left foot (in the 2nd step) right in front of your right foot. In contrast, you should place the right foot in front of your left in the first step, so as to open up space under your right shoulder to allow the ball to drop in a straight vertical plane during the swing, without hitting your thigh, or obstructed by it so that your swing deviates from the vertical plane.

This video is very helpful for a beginner like me. Thanks
I'm a cowboy, I do the 2 step.
I use a 4-step approach, but I don't swing the ball back as high as pros like Barnes do, so I start my swing basically on my second step.
@stillrob420 Liz Johnson, Stefanie Nation and I thing Wes Malot
Anyone knows the name of the first song? I love it~ :)
Reach Inside by Rah Samba
@@gablecostello Thanks man! I actually found out quite a few years ago 😁 but thanks!
Where can I find the full version of this video?
This is the full version of the short clip.
@@tinkst300 But there's a longer version with other information too, like oil patterns
@@hiit-itxr-fitness1962 Oh I didn't know about this. Thought they were separate short clips.
do any pros use a 4 step aproach?
Seriously, brother
great music too lol i watch this video too much
Yes, Chris Barnes IS sponsored by Columbia300. But he HAD BEEN sponsored by Brunswick.
Since 2015 til now, he’s being sponsored by 900 Global which is now owned by Storm.
Hope you learned something. Screaming is all about approach and good timing... Try George Fisher for a better example...
I prefer the 5-step approach.
@RCROX5000 Well I'm short (just 5'5") but it works for me~ :)
approach*
Who is this guy? Chris Barnes ? Never heard of him
he is chuck norris
This helped me so much, thank you
omg he sounds like Kermit the frog
@NShaddow15 You two, turns out there is a short haired and a long haired one
Not only that it adds one step from 4-step (duh) it makes more power to the ball.
Not true more speed move back 6 inches slower up so sorry you're wrong.
Forgot to tell that in either 4-5 step right foot steps in front of left foot same on five.
I thought this was a dancing video, what's up with this music?
Powered by Brunswick ? What the fuck.. Chris Barnes is sponsored by Colombia 300
This music makes me so angry I think I'm gonna go kick a puppy
that f***ing "music" ruins this video!
whatever, sh** head
