even though league patterns are the same from pair to pair, the lanes can play differently from pair to pair. The premise of this video is good knowledge to get lined up.
Definitely a go to source for the finer points of bowling. A lot of casual bowlers wouldn't recognize or appreciate how or why you sometimes have good days and bad days. They might only pay attention to how many pins went down instead of paying attention to what the ball is doing on the lane. I know because I used to be one of them. I only considered trying to get my timing as good as possible and be as accurate as possible. A 150 average bowler who happens to bowl around or above a 700 one night might happen to be lined up properly by chance rather then because they know what they are doing.
This is really eye opening. My most recent experience was on fresh lanes as league was canceled. I'm a new bowler (3 months) but I just couldn't figure out wth was happening. This will help a lot. I personally thought if you needed more hook then use a stronger ball! Now I understand it's how the ball is going through the pocket and harder isn't necessarily better. Good stuff.
I played in a tournament last night on a really short flat pattern. OMG! .. THAT was tough! .. I went from a 99 first game to a 206 second game to a 119 third game .. finished with 170ish games but boy, did I NOT know what the hell I was doing. It was so difficult. Even the real good bowlers were having a fit with it. I didn't come in last though (mission accomplished) but finished mid pack at 17th, exactly in the middle. Pretty darned good for me, since this is only my 2nd tournament and 2nd time playing on a "sport pattern".
I like how you explain and show the difference between Asym. And Sym. I have both and never know when to use them. I'm always behind transition. 😢 we need more videos like this please...❤
I like your video editing. You keep information (and relevant information at that) on the screen so that the viewers always know what's going on. It may seem like a small thing, but I bet it takes a lot of work on the editing side to get everything up there and I appreciate it.
Great insight thanx! I have a bad hip so the faster I can get lined up the better for me, almost on a "pitch count" lol. I even do my best to pay attention to what the lanes are showing my teammates I know well to gather quick info.
I am a rec bowler who just joined a league and bought my first ball. I still don’t quite understand all the vocab advanced bowlers use. I think I get the essence,but there is enough missing that I am seeking a source.
Hey what ball did you get? Ima a straight bowler and I bought a reactive ball that they drilled to fingertips. I’m going to use that to start practice hooking but I need another ball to be able to keep throwing straight for the time being.
I am absolutely shocked the sneak attack worked well on the sport fresh as well as the archetype. When I play the fresh on sport, I use my big asymmetrical solid or upper mid solid, but watching you I have to have my low diff solid handy after watching this. Great job on this video! I like how you describe the hybrid ball as a pearl dominant ball.👍
Great info and explanation. Maybe a low floor angle of the ball motion would love to see how the balls move through the skid, hook and roll phases. Still an awesome vid and thanks for the info 👍🏾
New subscriber here... Really REALLY loved your video! You give great examples and the reasons why you selected each ball and what you are looking for in motion. You can bet I will be watching for more content!
@@RevItUpBowling I have a random question! I like using urethane on house shots. I am sitting on a 170 average in my league and I see where my ball is hooking at but I am not used to moving left. Is it possible you can give me an advice on moving left!?
This was great info. The statement about striking doesn't mean its right, explains a lot in my case. I start well in practice and i think i may be pushing too hard through the 8. its not sustainable. Great information. only thing id ask for is where your feet start to shoot second. i missed it or wasn't said.
Awesome video! Would it be beneficial to adjust the surface of the Hazmat or BW 2.0 to re-create the same drive through the pins as the Sneak Attack or Archetype? So instead of driving over the 8 pin, it would be splitting the 8-9 or deflecting a little more instead as it has less energy through the pocket? Like hitting them with a 1000 pad to read the pattern earlier or would that change too much how you stand and have to play the pattern? Or do you just largely keep similar surfaces and change balls instead for sake of not having to adjust surface throughout the tournament?
? For you, I'm lefthanded and I avg about 11-16 7 pins per night. I use reactive resin, urethane, the shout i play 10board out. Hammer is the brand. I just came back to bowling after a 30-year layoff, back in the day, avg 208, now I'm struggling to maintain 190 avg. Any suggestions
Question. Last night in league I was using my Tropical Surge (14 lbs). It has a low hook potential. I was trying to play it straight (I play two-handed), but it was hooking too early. I moved left but the ball doesn't have a strong hook resulting in weak pocket shots. What should my adjustment be (not including changing balls)? Get my hand more around the ball at release? Move back on the approach? Forward? Go home? By the way, I watched a video online with someone hooking the ball nicely into the pocket. They were getting more out to the right. I have a real hard time doing that. I don't know why.
Subscribed. Your vids are very educational. I’ll use these to line up for league because I honestly just threw the ball and moved based on the miss. I do have a question regarding foul line and arrows. Should the difference typically be ten? Because it sure looked like your foul position and arrow differed by ten on average.
But when you bowl usbc nationals, you have to figure out your line quick or unless your team mates break down a section of lanes and then you may be comfortable
@@RevItUpBowling Thanks! This video was a very good lesson for me to pay attention to how the bowl exits the pattern. I don't watch the ball very closely.
can someone please tell me what he has on his wrist, im a right handed 2 handed bowler and I cant use a brace because it doesnt work for 2 handers so . Whatever he has on his wrist would help me immensely!!
It all depends on the lanes and your characteristics as a bowler. I always suggest to start where you’re most comfortable then read the balls motion. If it over hooks, move into more oil or ball change to a ball that covers less board. Then vise versa.
I didn't find this video useful for low rev bowlers. As an example, your first shot on house was already 3 boards left of where I would start. Because I am low rev I am going to want to stay as far right as possible and use the free hook to get my ball rolling. So when I roll up 6 or 7 board and see the ball either go left too early or roll out, I ball down. If the ball makes a smooth move to the pocket then I stay put. When that ball starts to go high, I ball down. My goal is to stay as far right as possible for as long as possible. On sport it is a little different, as a low rev bowler I need help from the pattern to get my ball into a roll, so I may have to play closer to the flat part of the lane to take advantage of the free hook there, but my angle will still remain closed and be right to left.
Every shot you make is a pulled ball. The direction your arm goes at release is closed angle. It might work well for broken down oil pattern with lots of play. Otherwise, you are fighting a collapsing swing at release.
If you are bowling tournaments or anything other than a standard "house shot" oil patterns, then you probably know what all these "definitions" are. Otherwise, a lot of this won't apply to your level of bowling. Use Google search, all the definitions are readily available on line.
I mean... interesting information, but not very useful for someone who DOESN'T know the balls you're throwing as well as you do. "Okay, now I'm going to grab THIS ball"... great. Why? Your delivery of the content is very rapid-fire, but lacking in any useful details that the average layperson can actually translate into useful information.
If you are a more advanced level bowler, then this information will make complete sense. If you are a casual league bowler then not so much. Bowling technology has advanced significantly over the past decade so if you don't keep up with it, it's easy to get lost in the minutia.
Do you have a different approach when bowling on fresh oil?
This is exactly what I need. I need to spend those 10 minutes of practice much more efficiently and this knowledge helps
even though league patterns are the same from pair to pair, the lanes can play differently from pair to pair. The premise of this video is good knowledge to get lined up.
Good point!
Yeah? This is just basics

This is a perfect explanation video. Keep up the great work.

My country the lane oiling pattern is standard(xmas tree)...what is the best bowling ball to use....?
Awesome... Thank you!!!

15:57 Which ball was too much ball? BW3.0? 16:08 Was this the Hazmat? I'm just making sure I know what you're referencing.
I was referring to the 3.0 as too strong and the Hazmat
@@RevItUpBowling Thanks! This video was a very good lesson for me to pay attention to how the bowl exits the pattern. I don't watch the ball very closely.
What was the layout of the archetype?
can someone please tell me what he has on his wrist, im a right handed 2 handed bowler and I cant use a brace because it doesnt work for 2 handers so . Whatever he has on his wrist would help me immensely!!
I wear non stretchy athletic tape with generic KT tape on top. Helps my wrist together without reducing much movement
Noice!!
Where should I play if my ball speed is 12.56

Why didn’t you move right either low flare (scorpion) close your angle
What do you think of the Storm DNA Coil
20:02
Would really enjoy a video on how to put a bowling ball arsenal together. When you are rev dominate.
Coming very soon!
Good info on the sport pattern, but it looks like you "want" to throw the hazmat on house....Bailed on the Widow too quick imo

Pretty sure you’re nowhere near the caliber bowler that this guy is to be coaching sir.
Hooks too much, or hooks too soon?
VIDEO IS GOOD BUT YOUR BODY IS IN THE LINE OF SITE. CAN NOT SEE WHAT ARROW YOU ARE HITTING.
It shows you what arrow he hits on the left side of the screen
@@TheBeatqualizer SORRY I DID NOT NOTICE THAT THANK YOU
@@69RIDING all good I didn’t see that at first either lol
Your camera man sucks. We needed to see where you start approach and where your back crosses. Not then starting at your while you bowl
Too much needless information. Most bowlers would not know what he is talking about. Lost me after about 3 minutes.
Lots of jargon....bla bla bla. Need definitions.

Are you going to throw the ball or what? That was a whole lot of talking
Who puts oil on the lanes anymore. Why does the 2nd arrow the magic spot. Put some oil on the front part of the lane. Lane men are lazy.
