I’ve often times set up my cell phone and taken videos to watch after each ball. It’s also a great way to analyze and/or diagnose swing, timing and even hand position issues.
a lesson from the scientific community - when taking readings, measurements, etc in a team, you should not reveal your information until after they also perform the same reading or measurement. if you do, you can subconsciously bias your teammate in to an answer. so, don't tell your partner what board you're trying to hit, just ask them to watch. if you tell them ahead of time you're trying to hit 5, when you hit 6 they'll often subconsciously bias towards believing you hit it.
The thumbnail though 💯
I generally aim at the dots since it helps me from pulling on the ball when I look at the arrows in the past. But when I play inside the target, when looking at the dots, I noticed that I missed two boards to the left but get strikes generally. I started drifting to the left and can modify my drifting to the left depending on how much aim I want to go for. If I roll the ball straighter to the pocket, I generally hit my target most of the time.
This explains one of the problems I have been having lately. Thanks. Now I need help on how to quit leaving so many 10 pins or how to make more. Do you have a video on either.
Great tip. I often do this but next time I am going to account and adjust for it instead of fighting it.
Great Tip Coach Shady and Mike! Targeting is pretty much a general area for me... will apply what you mention with a buddy... and adjust accordingly... Thanks Guys 🤙🏽😊🤙🏽
When I coach players targeting I just simply tell them to use tapes to put it on their intentional target and then watch whether they hit it or not. Some of course can hear easily than they can see then I just put more tapes on that target so they can hear a click when ball goes over target.
Thank you for this tip anyway it great to remember these things
Due to bowling 20 years and throwing thousands and thousands of shots I tend to bowl without aiming for a board. I throw most spares by moving my feet and aiming at the same strike spot I just used. I have 212 avg right now.
Because of dominant eye, the perception of the target may vary for each player day to day. Great stuff in discussing the topic Coach!
For our team practices we use the Boardbox but also put tape on the lane at our intended target. So in Heather's case we would have tape on 13. It's an extra feedback mechanism for the player, and it keeps the Board Box honest. :)
Thanks for the comment.
@@insidebowling You're welcome Coach. Love the channel and your great insight!
With a two hand bowling ball when you hit a Al ten pin is hard for a beginner
Does it matter whether you aim at the dots or the arrows when trying to figure this out?
I’ve noticed something probably unrelated since practice yesterday... I’m taking too big of steps in my approach. Maybe I’m shorter than many of the people I watch, but I do believe I might be stretching my steps too often and that can’t be helping my consistency.
Check out some approach videos.
It's like a walk in the park.
Mike Flanagan - Are you from St. Louis? I think I bowled with you back in the mid 90s. Good times :)
thanks for that tip on hitting my target
A year off because pandemic, and now my feet are drifting 5 boards left.... and I'm missing my target 5 boards left. I never had this problem before. Not sure I want to compensate and make adjustments for that, would rather fix the drift.
I have a question about approach. Do we walk straight and turn our shoulders towards the target or walk at a angle at towards the target?
I walk toward my target but I think most teach walking around the swing. IMO trying to walk a straight line is easier than trying to repeat the same crooked line but what do I know.
@@AverageLeagueHack • Now,now,now Aaron. You can be more helpful than that. First, you lead astray, then you speak the truth, then you throw in a disclaimer. What's wrong? Would you like to discuss what's troubling you?
@Maximus Primus • Don't mind Aaron B's confusing reply. He's actually given you the correct answer to your question. Which I'm sure you have discovered by now. I'm just kill'n time in these try'n times.
Any questions? U-Tube them.
Have a good life and practice.
Peace.
so when im aiming for a target. im supposed to be aiming at the board at the arrows and not further down lane?
Good question! Most bowlers will have a certain target distance that they're most comfortable with and use most of the time, no matter what that distance may be. It's good to try changing it up and train yourself to look at different distances. Sometimes looking at different distances can slightly change how the ball reads the lane so for some bowlers it can be a good lane play and ball motion adjustment. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching our videos!!
If you miss what you are targeting by 2 boards left, do you compensate by looking at 2 boards right and/or move yourself right and target the original board?
The advice in this video is to shift your aim point so your starting position would remain the same, you would just aim 2 boards over.
Where can I get a board tracker?!
Jayhawk Bowling supply sell them. Here's the link: www.jayhawkbowling.com/Products/Boardbox.html
What if you miss right and left I find that problem when I through
I only use two fingers and no thumb. Is that okay?
I dindnt see a tracker so what is it
So your actually aiming at the 1" boards in from the right side of the lane is that correct ?
cheers Greg
On synthetic lanes there are 39 boards. Yes the boards are counted from right to left.
I do that the problem is eventually I start hitting where I'm looking, and I lose track of my actual target. Never to find it again.☹ Or at least not until I go bowling again.😄
the bowling alleys in ny are closed due to covid. how are you able to practice given covid closures?
I've been practicing into a bean bag. I am working on more axis rotation.
Do you really need a buddy? Can you not aim for your target, then watch the ball roll two boards left or right of that spot yourself?
Never aim to miss..
That board tracker doesn’t look correct. She perfectly rolled over 13, maybe 14.
THIS. Pause the video at 2:20. You can see she is CLEARLY hitting the 14 board while aiming for the 13 board. To me, any shot within one board of the target is spot-on, even for a professional. NOBODY hits their target board dead-on perfectly every time.
@@Jason_P • Agreed, but champions hits them the majority of the time.
Heather cute as hell! I’m about to start bowling 😂😂
she has the same ball I do.
Doesn't Heather look excited to be there
XD
@Idaho Spyder • I'm excited to see Heather.
You move because you see transition. It's not that hard to figure out if you're a bowler who can see this and can make the right changes.
Oh good God. I can't see out of my right eye..and im right handed....lol.
I'm tired of this BS. The reason this misconception lives on is because eye dominance is real. The problem is that it has no application in bowling. It does not matter if you "See" the ball hit 10 and it actually hits 8 or 12. What matters is what the ball does. Your variation does not change. think about it. If you aim for 10, you see the ball hit 10 and it strikes, are you going to go back and adjust because in reality it hit 8? No . You adjust off what you see.
The only time it actually matters is if you are playing the gutter or working with a coach. Knowing the difference between what you see and where the ball actually is can help you keep the ball on the lane. Coaches need to know the phenomenon so they can adequately communicate with the person they are coaching. The coach should not assume the bowler missed their target. They should be asking if the bowler hit where they were looking. Bowling is a game of adjusting, not hitting a preset board.
Thank you. I'm a lefty but I'm right eye dominant. I shoot a gun and bow right handed because of this. For any starting player, so much will change until that player learns what their "regular" shot is. You can aim and hit the same spot but have moved your feet two boards and alter your shot. You're going to make small adjustments based on what you are "seeing" and the results.
Heather is drop dead gorgeous and I want to marry her.
