    This might just be the best explanation video of how to release the ball. Excellent video Robert.

    Holy crap. I’ve been bowling for less than one year, and I have watched 1 million RUclips videos on how to release the bowling ball. this is easily the most understandable explanation of the details I have ever seen.

      @StephRenee812 2 месяца назад

      I agree. I thought i was doing it and here im not. I couldnt understand it. My elbow goes all bent and all over and it isnt straightening at all and here this video is. Practice in my yard. Our neighbors probably think im nuts.. i mean a little 😁

    Had lessons from some high level coaches. Names that most folks would recognize in the industry. This was a simple but better explanation then all of those lessons combined. Went out on the lanes and noticed an immediate improvement in my release and repeatability. Thanks!😁

    Robert, you explaining the "release window", and how it starts "back here" (3:21-3:34) was super-enlightening! I'm one of those people who assumed it all happened in a fraction of a second by one's ankle. Thanks so much for making this video. You have a permanent follower!

    @texasplumr 3 месяца назад +13

    I'm an old guy and everything is so very different today. I'm 70 now so my game has changed considerably. It happens to us all, unfortunately. Years ago I started trying to improve my release and rev rate by asking people who already had the rev rate I was after. I spent hours, not just a few hours either but probably over 100 hours working on this one thing! I didn't think I'd ever get it but it just wasn't ever explained to me the way that you just explained it! Truth is, a bunch of things I just figured out by accident as I practiced this.
    I appreciate you posting the video! Good stuff!

  • @vincentamaya7983
    @vincentamaya7983 3 месяца назад +10

  • @Sammy-1207
    @Sammy-1207 3 месяца назад +3

    when I was younger in my prime I had a very good release and excellent timing. I'm trying to get back to do some senior events and some over/under 50 tournaments with my son. The other day while I was practicing I was able to finally fix some of my timing issues and my release came back to me just as you demonstrated in your video. For those that are watching you throw the ball can not feel how slow and effortless the ball feels like when it comes off your hand. This video is right on the mark.

  • @jaysantos11
    @jaysantos11 3 месяца назад +4

    my son and i both bowl in Ventura county and see Maxium Bob around at various tournaments. legendary bowler and great person too. he really cares about the youth program at his local house(buena lanes) and goes to the youth tournaments in our area to support the kids and coach them. class act 100%

  • @enigmazero8624
    @enigmazero8624 3 месяца назад +2

    What an awesome way to explain this. As someone who struggles when trying to lower ball speed because I end up decelerating and being unable to maintain my strong ball roll, the part about slowing down the release is what I need to go try out and work on. I never would have thought of that.
    Thanks, Robert. Long time fan here

    That’s how I learned as a 12 year old in the 70’s. I picked bowling up again last year and I’ve been confused with all the different ways people instruct. Everything from releasing with hand under the ball to whipping the hand/wrist. I’m glad to see your video. Thanks!

  • @BowlingHeyday
    @BowlingHeyday 3 месяца назад +1

    As the discussion got to changing tilt at release, that got me to realize how much you can change the shape. The emphasis of the middle finger vs. the ring finger can get a ball shape to work for you without a ball change. Then you can with little thought make the ring finger be the lifting force at release. Ah, then Teacher Smith brings in another aspect, the pinky finger doing some work into the ball at release. Something new to myself after 57 years of bowling is the pinky finger of the hand. Maybe have a hole drilled for the pinky finger too.

    Great video Robert. I used to live in California around the Ventura County area. I moved years ago. Back then there were more centers. I bowled league at Conejo Bowl in Thousand Oaks and Harley Bowl and Simi bowl in Simi Valley. Bowled in Camarillo, Santa Paula, Wagon Wheel bowl in Oxnard. Woodlake bowl in Woodland Hills. You were probably just a young boy back in those days. Great to see you on YT giving invaluable tips and instruction. One of the greats for sure.

  • @draymondrob4818
    @draymondrob4818 2 месяца назад

    Thank you so much for this. Watched this along with some of your old tournaments to help visualize it for myself. Tried it at league yesterday with medium speed - 695 series (about 100 pins above average).
    What helped the most is when you mentioned taking your time and being thorough. Because it does look fast watching it. But it feels very efficient and like you said - I can feel it down my arm where it rolls off of my hand. What I have done in the past is over-emphasize lifting the ball - which ends up with me hitting up on the ball. Not anymore.
    Thanks again.

  • @philmundy454

Every other youtube videos just asked you to have a quick release and not breaking your wrist after the hit zone, it might be a good way to do it reversely and slow everything down instead to achieve the Less is More principle . I will definitely try it and see if it can make a difference to my game.

It also emphasizes the end point of the release, which the students only get to if everything up until that point is done correctly. Your insight into the changes in the release and the changes in ball motion that results is invaluable, and your info is masterfully presented. I will be referring a lot more students to any video you produce; and thanks again.

    Mr Smith, thank you! I saw you when you were just a kid. Cannot even remember the center but I got to sub in a league you bowled in a few times (Was it Del Rio?) and like so many, it was fun to just watch what "Maximum Bob" did. Sure wish I had learned this stuff way back when. My time bowling the Senior Tour might have gone a bit better.
