I took an in person lesson from Mike about 10-15 years ago at age 60 after being out of bowling for 20+ years. My avg. went from 150s to 170s almost immediately. I'm now in my mid 70s bowling once a week with avg in 180s.

Spent a good portion of my summer of practice last year working on this very aspect! You're right, Coach Shady, it's hard. What makes that funny is that it really is the easiest thing to do! Gravity will take care of getting the ball started. That, and a couple other things I was working on, brought my average up 10 pins this year. Not bad for being away from the game for 20 years!
Thanks!

Great tip! Basically, you’re saying “let gravity take care of the arm swing” and don’t muscle it.

I have changed from 5steps to 4 with the 24 rule’ it has helped me out so much, moved from a 165 to a 180 in the first 3 weeks of men’s league this year. Thank Coach Shady, do you think that 1 day you can talk about the V with the finger that you spread out on your ball and carry that before you snap your hand on release?

I learned a lot from th best secret. Time to go bowling. I wish I knew more of the science of bowling in high school when I bowled.

I tried this last night on the lanes and I felt my swing became smother. And not a strain on my elbow. Thank Coach Shady

Let me share a TOP TIP in here for all of you: PRACTICE 1 thing at the time and repeat over 1, 000 times. For example, if you want to improve your release, practice just that, 1, 000 times. Don't think about anything else. Just focus on 1 thing until it becomes ingrained in your subconscious and your body learns the movement.

Thank you Coach Shady. I’m 78 and been bowling 22 years. Your descriptions were dead on my style of bowling. I watched this video 8 times and then went to the lanes committed to practice this correctly. OMG, what a difference. I’ve never rolled the ball so effortless and I kept it up. First game was 121 and the last game was a clean 233. Will practice this for the next two days to ensure i have it down. I felt like a bowler for the first time in many years. Steve S.

Hey, I definitely remember Mike Shady. We bowled a PBA Midwest Regional at Hawthorne Lanes in Quincy Illinois. I started out with 636. Mike had 836. I've always had a hitch in that part of my swing, and it showed. I could never get rid of it. Thanks for the tip. If I didn't live on Maui, where there's NO bowling center, I'll practice that tip. Good stuff!

[bradbalderson]

Just had a session with Mike two weeks ago and we worked on this part of my game, it made a huge difference for me in my swing!

[MasterGunz]

I’ve always find myself chasing my swing sort of speak... Great tip and content here, Thanks Coach Shady and Mike! #insidebowling

[terrylbateman]

I always let the ball carry my back swing an feet slow an consistent an my avg.went up with the storm Hyroad from 172 to 195

[brandygates]

Thank You Mike Shady for all your bowling insight and tips!

[sweeteessnelling]

Please help us see the difference in the 3. I agree with several of the remarks as they all look the same. would you please slow it down and show us the difference. I have terrible timing issues as I am not consistent on the approach. Thanks for your videos ...

[tonykusky]

I taught years ago, pendulum swing. This is the first I have heard of it in years! Great tip

Man I'm so nervous, starting my Bowling endeavor tomorrow..I gotta do it, I'm starting from scratch...let's Bowl!

[quynhtrangpham]

Thank you so much great tip. I can not wait for my next bowl game

[randyloyd]

I was always told I'd never be a good bowler only using two fingers. Now days I see a lot more of such bowlers. I bowled a 276 Sunday (with a house ball) with a friend. Now no way I can do that consistently but I can roll 210-230 consistently and I'd say that's pretty good.

[Brendan_Keyport-WABMK]

you know, I can't see a difference.
