I just want to look like less of an idiot in front of my friends.

[yannycandelario]

I went bowling with a couple of friends and we all suck at bowling.
We weren't battling for 1st place.
All of our goals were to not get last place.
Now with the help with this video, hopefully it helps keep me away from last place.

For my fellow novice/recreational bowlers: What I do is grab the lightest ball with the smallest holes that the place has. Barely put your finger tips in the holes, and leave your thumb out. Line up to release as close to the right side of the lane as possible (or left if you’re a lefty). Curl your wrist, and release the ball as hard as you can- while you release flip your hand to create spin, to where it curves right into the pocket. Try to release as close to the floor as possible. Sounds stupid, but with a little practice it’s a solid technique.

I just had reconstructive surgery on my left shoulder on the 3rd of June. Last weekend I went bowling and had 9 strikes in a row and was super surprised. Still learning the curve more to be more consistent

Good Video on the drill, allow me to add more important info about this.
If you want to throw more strikes, it is NOT just about creating more AXIS rotation, this will not guarantee you to get more strikes. This is because some bowlers already have too much axis rotation, especially those with a heavy hand and a lot of revs, like two-handed bowlers.

Moreover, you can get a lot of strikes with a low track like Shannon showed in this video when she left the 10 pin, all you have to do is to adjust your feet or maybe make a ball change, or a speed change.

The KEY to ALWAYS keep in mind is to try to get the ball to consistently go through the pins at an angle that will allow it the ball to die in the middle. In other words, you want to see a "flush" strike reaction when your ball hit the pins.

PLUS, you also have to keep in mind what bowling ball you are using and what oil pattern you are bowling on. There are just so many variables that you have to keep in mind and learn to watch and control if you really want to get better and start throwing more strikes.

Questions? I'm happy to answer here :)

To the people stating the two shots were on different parts of the lane. Yes, that is true. However, the point of the video is that changing the hand position at the release point creates a different angle to the pocket. If your carry isn't where you want it to be, try changing the hand position. Great video!

For league bowlers that don’t have a big arsenal this is huge. Last night at league I started out ringing ten pins and left a 9 pin. I needed to take a little bit out of my wrist and I started having much better pin carry and finished the night with a 747. If I don’t make that adjustment I’m frustrated all night. Great tip guys!!

Pov: your at a bowling alley and searched how to get food at bowling

[Yourmom-cwzc]

Junior in high school and this is my second year bowling and my first year I got a 223 and yesterday I bowled a 268. Today I hope to beat it again! I would love to make it to state this year with the girls team

[anonymousbeing]

Who is watching this just before bowling to beat your friends

[jonfelie]

That is what she e-mailed me too do and my game is great now. Tks Shannon! Jon

[beretta]

Our daughter is getting into bowling....Beginner all the way...she is a highly skilled Volleyball player...strong as an ox at 14... She's learning, this will help her and me get more rotation

[bthivierge]

Shannon is a great coach and you can tell it KILLS her not to speak in these videos! 😂

[drwisdom]

Mrs. O'Keefe's first shot was inside (for her shot and ball) and went over the third arrow where it didn't get enough hook so was going too straight. While the second shot went over the 12 board and was further right where it hooks more. That probably had more effect than changing the axis tilt.

Lost to my girlfriend yesterday it’s time to get serious.

[lumberlikwidator]

I'm back! The reason you see a lot of nine-pins on high flush hits by right handlers is not that the ball hooks past the nine-pin. It is because the sharp entry angle of resin balls makes the 1-3 pocket wider. If you don't believe me look at the pocket on the lane just to your left. The pocket looks wider than the one on your lane. This is approximately what a sharp hooking ball sees when it hits the pocket. The nine-pin stays up because the ball deflects to the left off the right side of the three-pin, not because it continues to hook left. The key to carrying the nine-pin on a high flush hit is to have less entry angle, so the ball does not deflect to the left after hitting the three-pin.

Thanks for the tip guys, you really make things seem so simple, now to hit the lanes and try this about 1, 000 times lol. Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your day. ❤✌

[geoffdevore]

How many reps do you usually do on each drill?

[richardbell]

I would like to know how the new wrist brace rule is going to effect your game since you use one?

[darthmaul]

Just wondering why the foul line drill and one step was done without the brace but the full approach the brace was being used. Thank you.
