I've been bowling competitively for over 20 years and the one mistake I see daily at my local alley is league bowlers always focused on their scores. That's probably the worst thing you can do if you want to get better. The best advice I can give anyone is learn to adapt don't stick with one ball and learn to make your hooking balls your spare balls, learn to throw it slower or faster depending on the lane condition. What has made me a bowler that averages 230 is the ability to adapt and not get caught up with the scores, the scores are a result of your consistency. Sure pay attention to them, but not in practice, practice should be the arena where you throw all sorts of ways and see what works, throw shots that makes you have to pick up spares. Not trying to detract from this video, but the thing that helps me most is understanding angles and ball reaction, if you can visualize that ball hitting the pocket and can bring it into the physical game you will be golden.
My biggest thing is just looking at how the ball goes through the pins. If it keeps going left after hitting you're golden and will strike a buttload. If it hits and goes straight back you'll still strike alot but get a few ring 10s here and there. Then if it hits and has any deflection at all you will struggle to strike no matter what.
thanks
That's my biggest issues is lane transition. I can dial it in on our house pattern and throw 5-6-7 strikes and then I start missing. I keep moving left to get it back into the pocket and end up leaving 7's and 10's, so I"m constantly moving and never get comfortable. I'd love for you guys to give some pointers for league bowlers and dealing with lane transition on house shots.
Or how to combat the cliff !
Maybe try different balls.
Staying ahead of the transition is the hardest part of bowling. What I do for a house pattern is I move every other shot on that lane, anticipating that the oil pattern has changed. I'm a lefty, so a 1/1 move, which is 1 board right with my feet and 1 board left with my eyes. Once I have gotten too steep for comfort, I will change balls, then start over again, resetting my feet and eyes, then start all over again. The night is usually over by the 3rd ball change. Hope this helps
Either ball change so you have more miss room, or a nice little tip is move 2 left with your feet and 1 right with your eyes on a house shot. This way you can get a new look all together that you haven't played on. So know your equipment and try to stay ahead of transition so you aren't getting those ten pins a lot. Good luck bud :)
What’s happening is a little oil is carrying down move to the right a board or two a couple shots and tighten angles for about 4 frames of a five man team then it’ll go back to normal usually I find
What I did to figure out how to line up I used my unique style that I call a golf bag of styles. I copied the styles of a lot of professional bowlers like Mark Roth, Earl Anthony, Dick Weber, Marshall Holman, etc... I would usually use Holman or one of the other pros that I had a easier time to cut the loft down to where I had the smallest amount of loft possible and still get a good shot. If I needed either Wayne Webb or Carmen Salvinio to throw the ball slower because the lanes are very oily and I just had a hard time lining up with my other styles. Then if the lanes were dry I would use some of the mid range shots like Walter Ray Williams J-r, Nelson Burton Jr., etc... Then I used Dick Weber and the rest to handle the driest lanes in order to get the best results. I always started with the second arrow.
In competition, when you are moving pairs, how many shots are you going to "test" on the next pair to get lined up? I hope the answer is 2-3 shots and you're watching the other players ball motion between your shots and you've scouted the pair before you threw your first shots.
Thank you. Please do more lane play videos like this one.
I enjoyed this video quite a bit. Very informative. I like how you started with just the length of the pattern, used the practice process and honed in on the best shot for it per your bowling style. I would have liked the actual pattern info that was laid down at the end to compare to what shot you decided on and what end ball (and its layout) to go with it. That would give us the comparison and information we would need to adjust for our particular styles. Awesome Video and content...THANKS!
I really appreciated this video one of the best with more explanation then some of your past videos for a beginner like myself
I throw the ball exactly like Brad...if he was in his mid-sixties. It could be worse. I absolutely love Kyle's release and ball motion. If I drop down to a 12 pounder, I could probably copy it. Get those injuries taken care of brother, I want to see you in a TV final in the second half. Good luck to you both and thank you for your insight. This was a really valuable video for me.
Very informative guys, much appreciated!
Outstanding explanation guys, thank you!
Great video love the longer format thanks for the great content always love to see a new Brad and Kyle video!!
Like seeing your process. Thank you!
Always great content for sure. Great tips, thanks!
I appreciate this type of video, league mates always say watch the pros and copy from there. The pros don't say out loud what is going through their head and the process of figuring out the lane aka why I don't watch often as I have to depict what's in their head and decipher from there. You guys are the best!
Definitely checking this out. Monday night I left 3 pocket 7 / 10 splits, 8 7 pins and 7 10 pins.I did everything I could to avoid these leaves
I'm glad to see you both. Thanks for the great video. Pros Strike!!
Really enjoy your content! Great, personalities and just a couple of good guys. Rooting for both of you to have a highly successful upcoming season on the tour!
Cool video talk tech bowling Brad and Kyle pro pba professional bowling video
Great video guys
Please more videos like this, that the average bowler can understand and be able to get so much better
Why is Kyle not wearing Storm?
Thank you guys for all your content. Brad I really like your jersey and was curious where someone could get that
Unrelated, I know Kyle you have injuries that recouped from.. I recently broke an ankle on my slide foot,still have 5 weeks in the boot once out what is your drill recommendation on getting comfortable again on the slide. Thank you
Why do I seem to always rap the pin around the 10 and leave 1 even though I hit the pocket it seems perfect on a nice hook
What would be Kyle's move after the right side is burnt out? A move left puts you in Brad's line and could cause your ball to hook even more. Would you switch balls and stay right, get into Brad's line, or change balls and move way left?
It depends - there are too many variables. Just have to take it one shot at a time watch ball reaction and make adjustments.
How did you tune up your phaze 2?
When you say “look 7” is that the 7 board at the breakpoint?
No he’s looking 7 at the arrows. His break point seems to be around 3-5
Do a vocabulary vid or edit this one with definitions all the terms for the beginners
Yes. I'm sure there was a lot of great information in this video, but I couldn't follow because of all the jargon. Firm? Long? Crispy? Come on, guys. English, please.
Have a question for you guys. My son started bowling at around 10 years old. and when he was 16 had a book average of 210. boweled in 1 usbc west tornament in sacramento. missed the cut by 18 pins. then he stoped bowling he was only 18 years old. fast forward till now. He is 36 years old. he started bowlingg in a leauge again. after 30 games he has a 232 average. He has so much talent . Is there anything I can do to try to get him to become a pro bowler again. My name is Joe Nail. my sons name is Ryan Nail. thanks
Ball maintenance is so important. There are some people in my league that will leave the ball in the sun to de-oil. I take mine to the pro shop but is that an option?
I have problem with release. can you show how to throw and release to strike
can you explain what "cleaner cover" means?
A bowling ball with a "cleaner cover" is usually a ball with a pearlized or solid surface that has high number surface grit which makes them shinier to reduce the gripping ability of the ball to get down the lane. These balls delay the mid-lane hook so they will read the lane more on the back end, less in the front. They are used more when the lanes are drier or burnt up (later in league, tournaments, on shorter oil patterns, and tougher sport patterns.
@@scottpatton8806 thanks so much for the detailed reply....that clears it up for me
So when Brad struck at 2:47 and barely kicked that 10 out, you don’t move just based on that?
Maybe he knew he didn't throw it as good as he can. Many people throw bad shots that hit the pocket expecting to strike. Contrary to popular opinion, even pros don't throw it great every time.
Like the information, but how do you translate this to league when you have at most three to four shots to figure out two lanes? Any suggestions? Thanks.
I just want to know what to do when everyone in practice is waiting for 2 minutes for the players next to them to throw their shot and each person only gets 3 shots.
You should be watching the ball reaction of all the bowlers while you wait. This should be norm especially during play.
@@melissaanzaldua when half of them are throwing straight balls it doesn’t help much
@@Denali_Rebel lol find a new league? Straight bowlers mess with the oil patterns.
I’m a senior bowler and my speed is slower than yours about 10 how do I speed it up?
What was the actual pattern? Do you have a graph?
⏳pattern?
Bruh y’all in St. Louis???? Y’all are invited to the cookout fasho!!! Go and get some rice house!!!!!
Your ball motion tells you what the lane is doing. Watch your ball motion.
Ball motion is very important if your timing, speed, and release is consistent.
@@ou812true5 no ifs. It’s vital.
Kyle just tell me what’s going on at the bottom Jesus he’s smooth
I’m happy to see that even you guys can throw a gutter ball
Kyle not wearing a ball company logo on his shirt?? Interesting...
I’m happy to see that even you guys can throw a gutter ball. 😂
Great content. I don't know if it is just me, or the camera or what but this video looks like some weird green screen stuff going on. Maybe its just my eyes.
did....did you guys think any of that was helpful 😅😅😅
For me, this video was really hard to watch. It was really hard to track what two people were doing with adjustments and balls. Also the internal language or maybe its pro bowler speak was equally hard to follow. "clean cover" "crispy" "up the back" "slow bowling ball" Just some friendly feedback. Normally I really like your videos.
Jesus saves!
not gonna lie this video was way too confusing for people who don’t bowl professionally or in leagues.
