DISCORD

This is not a storm Brunswick nor hammer motiv ball review bowling ball video

[SevenKS]

I'mma be honest as a bowler who actually cares more about how a ball looks on the lane. The explanation about a strong versus weak ball especially on a house pattern was SPOT ON. Great video and keep it up

[avg]

Let me know what you guys thought of this video!

I’ve had a lot of requests for informational/instructional based content.

I much prefer making the entertainment/challenge type videos(I even tried to make this one somewhat entertaining lol)

But I can sprinkle in some stuff like this here and there

[daspeakeasies]

I’ve been averaging about 155 since switching to 2 handed bowling. Used your advice in this video for tonight’s league game and shot a 196, 148, and a PR of 253 in the 3rd game. Thanks for the help!

Just something I've learned and what I teach the youth bowlers, if you are looking at the pins or keeping your eyes down lane the whole time then your body is going to want to launch the ball (too much down lane speed and not enough revs). If you bring your eyes closer, arrows to dots, then you'll lay it down at your mark rather than throw it past it. I do LOVE the concept you mentioned about finding brake point and THEN drawing that straight line back to your lay down spot. A strong mental picture helps the body perform the task.

Wait for a under 5 min video. I actually learned so much. Holy. Thank you for this video!!

[checkboy]

I’ve been bowling almost 10 years. Never paid for coaching and just been off of experience. When i tell you this video helped sooo much

[blakepierce]

Kudos to you for this video. I have never seen anyone explain it better or keep it so simple.

[lionmartian]

Killed this explanation of this and ball strength better than any video I've watched

[corvusclimbs]

Hah I had no idea Malott did that for targeting. I actually started doing the same kind of thing a while back to reduce the amount of loft I was throwing and it made my shots far more consistent.

Great video!

[alexandersuico]

Thanks for the video. I struggle being consistent with aiming some days. Learning to look at the breakpoint will be my next tweak!

[Vacreth]

thank you for this video, i am a 200 avg average bowler trying to nail down how i create my line.
This video really gave me some ideas.

I use the arrows and always have, i bowl at bowlero which makes it impossible to see the breakpoint do to all of the lights and reflections

My dad who is a 170 avg bowler bowls off of "feel" and doesn't use any of the suggested dots/arrows to score and he does pretty well considering.


I have to suggest that you do lane transition next as a video idea, that is the HARDEST thing a bowler has to go trough and we could use your wisdom.

Thank you for making these videos they are so entertaining keep it up! :D

I'm telling you Michael this instructional stuff will take you to another level beyond 20K subs and you should go give private lessons that would definitely give you some more revenue stream

[joepalmer]

I know this has nothing to do with this video, but....How hard does a ball have to hit the lane to damage the wood? Mythbusters season 6, episode

[squidly]

Great video Mr. 220 !!! .. awesome! .. this is exactly what I am trying to learn now. And trying to learn how to adjust as the lanes change, what ball to use, where to stand, where to aim, etc. I love these kinds of videos to help me to figure these things out. Most of the time I just get confused but I am learning.

[jasoncraig]

I watched this video last Friday from home about an hour or two before I went bowling (just to practice/have fun) and I just want to say it legitimately helped. I've been in a slump for almost two months. Right after I joined a league for the first time my scores went down. I don't know if I'm in my own head or putting too much pressure on myself but, this video gave me some tips that really seemed to help quite a bit and I truly think the next league night I'll get my first 200+ game in league.

[StephRenee]

I got into bowling as in buying my own Bowling balls ans getting fitted for my hand about 2 years now. And never knew about the down-lane breakpoint. I always was told to use the arrows and wondering why I'm stuck. I started looking down lane like you said and wow.. thank you. Now learning when and where to move on the boards

[Frankie_Plays]

i have been searching for an explanation on front to back motion forever...and finally I got it. I need more 220 tutorials.

[jeremyfranklin]

I have figured out my release and approach (to a degree), the targeting for both the pocket and spare shooting is a weakness of mine. I hope to improve that and finally break my 100-199 curse.

[clowny]

Excellent video. I've been targeting closer to the dots than the arrows for several years now and I find that my ball gets into a roll much better that way. I tried to target down at the range finders like you mentioned as I found that most good house shot bowlers will have their ball rolling over board 8 or 9 down at 40 feet; however, my ability to hook the ball when I did that lost it's strength. Possibly I was getting to higher and higher speeds, not sure. These days with stronger equipment I'll stand somewhere between boards 25 to 28 and target boards 12 to 10. With weaker balls I'll move a bit more to the right. For spares I generally target at the tip of first range finder at 34 feet at various places on the lane. For example I stand on board 30 for the 10-pin and aim at board 9 at 34 feet. I'll try your suggestion and see if I incorporate it into my game. Thank you!

Perfect explanation! Going to try new things next trip! Can you do a video on how to roll the ball as opposed to throwing it ? I’m up to about 14-16 mph and am struggling to slow it down ! Up, slow down my approach of slow down my swing, and I still blast it. Our practice drills for hooking the ball and still haven’t gotten a handle on that either. Sometimes I can sometimes I can’t, but I’m trying. Thank you for all your help. Have a great game., !
