Great tip in my opinion. I have followed this channel all year long. My goal was to average 200. I have achieved that goal thanks to these useful tips!

[brendasallee]

Great tip about how and why to throw the ball faster or slower! Thnx.

[jdizzlef]

I used the tip to move back on approach to speed up ball today. You rock!

[travishanson]

Great tip. one thing i found is if i find a really good line, slightly increasing the speed on each subsequent shot allows me to stay on that line longer, sometimes even the whole game, especially if i stay left of where all the old timers are playing up the right side, about a board. get into their line and the ball hooks but never gets into a roll and misses the head pin every time.

Great Tip! I sometimes forget I can get a bit more speed if I just step back and raise the ball...duh! Merry Christmas to All❤✌

[videllkelly]

Thank you. Never thought about moving back

[jpchevy]

Very great helpful tip there I will apply it to my back up ball game.

[tch]

I slowed down my speed substantially by "sliding" (& not lifting my foot) on my first step.👍

[selwynmorgan]

I will definitely be using this tip when I am at two different centres. One I really need to speed my ball up and the other down.

[lilnbigman]

Not a pro but a true blower who could be. Yes 100% that is what everyone should do.
As well like to see a video on how not needing to change balls but moving your feet as all bowlers should do.
Many people pay for their bowling balls as pro's do not. Tyvvm.

[joskgaming]

What if your all the way back on the approach? Also, is there a good way to practice/exercise raising your arm? I feel like I don’t raise it enough like I want it too

[cy_lanix]

I've always been curious, what is your strike song?

[housebowl]

You always upload good videos, so I'm watching it well in Korea. Stay healthy and wish you good results on the tour.

How reliable are the ball speed measurements in the typical center where it is measured downlane?

It seems like the further out I get the ball (more hook) the slower my ball speed is, whereas if I pull a shot, the speed is faster.

Could it be both shots were the same speed off my hand, but the outside shot hit more friction, so measured lower, or that the system measures a ball's speed as slower when it is hooking more vs straight?

[lobo]

How many steps do you normally take on your approach?

[exesemas]

But....this sounds opposite of what your husband was teaching in the USBC videos. In order to not mess with timing, for more speed he said to lower the ball and walk faster. And for less speed, to move the ball higher and walk slower.

[ghostsavage]

Bryan O’Keefe teaches the exact opposite! 🙆🏽‍♂️

[brandonevans]

Hint... either throw it softer or harder folks
