    I’d love to see a video that defines a lot of the colloquial terms bowlers use. I’m talking about words like friction, ball up, ball down, shim, carry, etc. Also, a video that breaks down the three phases of ball motion on a house shot would be awesome. For example, around when should I expect a ball to move from slide to roll to hook? Thanks for the great content, guys! I love the channel.

      100%. Modern bowlers use "Jargon" which does not help new bowlers learn anything at all. Good teachers speak plainly and clearly.

    Probably the most neglected part of the game is ball speed, which can drastically affect the roll and the result. Old timers used the weight of the ball and the drive to create powerful strikes. Today, too many players, especially two handers, put so much emphasis on speed. When it works, it’s incredible, but when you miss the target, often you are left with a mess. A five year old can roll a strike with a ball moving 5 mph, so higher speed is less important than many people realize.

    I've had nights where I take my normal shot and the only change I make is maybe 1 board left and get constant 200's. Other nights I've moved 7 or 8 boards to the left with my feet and 5 with my eyes and if I'm lucky I can get 170's or 180's. I can never figure out the lanes on what changes I need to make. Ball speed, different ball, more revs, less revs. UUggh. Love the work you guys put into these videos.

  • @GorgonOfZola
    @GorgonOfZola Месяц назад +11

    My local house shot transitions front to back with added length. Moving left is no man's land for everyone because the carry down tames the friction. Our best option is to move right, ball down and adjust speed and hand position. Miss room also vanishes. Game 3 is always a struggle to find a consistent line to the pocket.

  • @JDTroutman1
    @JDTroutman1 Месяц назад +2

    Awesome video guys! I’m a league bowler who loves to stand on 16-19 and roll up the 10 board. During league practice on freshly dressed lanes I strike, but by the 5th frame or so it’s usually too dry to continue down 10. I’ve been using that alignment since I first started bowling so it’s super uncomfortable when I move right; I’m a lefty. Anyway, I obviously need to practice so I feel comfortable opening the angles. Bottom line: This was the video I needed to see to improve. I’m going to start opening the angles until I get as comfortable as rolling up the 10 board. You two are great instructors and I watch all your videos. Can’t thank you enough for the video lessons!

    One of my favorite videos I’ve seen from you guys. I always warm up trying “my” shot. I’ve not tried to figure out what doesn’t work. I really like that mindset; different for me. I’m a lefty, so I know, (almost every week) once I figure out “the shot”, it’ll be there most of the night. However, I’ve struggled this year at times and it’s probably due to being too robotic. I’m not good at adjusting, because I usually don’t have to. Gonna try this Monday night and see if mentally I can come to grips in warmups of what does and doesn’t work. As opposed to hunting a shot starting in the 4th or 5th frame!!Thanks! Really enjoyed this!

    Incredible content. This is why this channel is so great. Especially at 16:41 when Brad talks about staying right and knowing how to adjust your speed instead of being forced left where you may be uncomfortable. You may not be able to do this on sport/PBA patterns as much, but you can definitely do it on a THS league. I NEVER move more than a couple boards further left than the third arrow as my target and don't need to because I control my speed. You have to work hard at this too so you don't "muscle" the ball and it doesn't interfere with your timing.

    Great video! I would love to see a similar video showing how to effectively ball change on transition. What factors lead you to choose a certain ball? For example, when your ball is burning energy early and you can’t move left, what are the options? How about for lefties that need to move left to avoid the lay down area of righties? Thanks, keep up the great work.

I would love to see this format move forward! It would be cool to have you guys do something similar for the sport and challenge patterns.
    I've been struggling on sport shot tournaments because I have to learn as I go. I look online for advice on certain patterns and try to figure out what to use, what surfaces, and lane play strategies. But the information is not very consistent. It would help to have something like a sport shot pattern library for us to reference if we need to roll something at a tournament. Like Cheetah, what type of equipment for various types of bowlers, what kind of surfaces would work, what area of the lane should you play (near the gutter for short, closer to the head for longer, breakpoint distances, etc.), how you would progress through the set, etcetera.
    I really appreciate all that you guys do for us in the community! Y'all have taught me so much, and I have then passed that on to other bowlers. Thank you!

    I have been having a problem in league lately where during pre-game practice, on fresh, I get setup pretty good, hitting pocket, striking. Then league play begins and the first 1/2 of the first game I continue what I was doing through practice, sometimes having to move maybe 1 or 2 boards left, no big deal. Then all of a sudden, WHAM! .. my ball starts pushing down lane, sometimes washout. Like out of the blue it will start doing this. And I'm not the only one, some of the other players on my team or opposing team experience the same thing. So, I move right a few boards to try to counteract this situation, but I then just struggle to control the pocket. So then I try another ball, usually to a shinier ball to read the friction down lane more again. Sometimes that has worked and I'm back in it, but lately I end up chasing balls until I finally find something to work pretty well and I bowl a pretty good game the last game. Something changed at our bowling center the past couple of months (not just the weather) to cause this issue (have no idea what it is, oil, pattern, something). I have talked to dozens of people in our leagues and they say they have experienced the same type of thing. I am really stuck right now not having a clue as to what I need to do. Is it me? .. is it my ball (I resurface every few weeks with fresh box surface)? .. is it the lanes? .. what the heck is going on and what can I do to get ahead of this problem? .. Does anybody have a clue? .. I sure don't seem to. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. It's really getting frustrating, not just for me, but for several other people I bowl with. Thanks in advance and I hope everyone is getting a great start to their 2025 year!!! ❤❤

      @@mariorodrigues8176 - Well what has been weird is, I have gotten this condition repeatedly over the past few weeks in league. All of a sudden the ball just quits hooking properly at the breakpoint and pushes. It's been really weird. Seems some sort of transition is happening that I am not accustomed too and don't know how to react. Several people I have talked to in league have experienced the very same thing, including some of my teammates. I am wondering if the mid-lane, where your ball begin its hook phase, is maybe drying out quickly and using up the energy early. Seems like our lanes start out ok but then get really tight really fast. I contend that they have changed our house shot pattern a bit and perhaps the oil as well. It all happened very suddenly about 2 1/2 months ago. And I don't believe it is the weather as it was an abrupt change before our weather really changed. I'm not complaining, I actually like that it has done this because it is forcing me to learn, which is good. I think I have figured out a few things from Thursday night league when our lanes were playing super tight because they had a collegiate tournament right before league, and laid down our house pattern on top of some sport pattern, leaving the outsides much wetter than normal (you throw towards the gutter and your ball is gone). I actually was liking that pattern. It was more difficult, you had to be much more precise, but it was fun once you figured out how to play it. I played it with a pretty strong ball (Roto Grip Duo) from further right than normal and going up the back of the ball more than normal. Once I got it down I was hitting the pocket, and hard. It worked out pretty well and my last game of the series was a good one.

      Fammmm I love the energy in your concerns here lol I've had this and kinda going through it. Are you a 1 hand thumb roller? I'm a 1 hand no thumber. Maybe worry about your overall speed, steps in approach, back swing release slide all of it. That must all match. Can't approach slow, then increase upper body motions at all. Ball speed is the next thing to try out. Slow it down and see how it reacts, then adjust from there. Your analytics are stellar I love how you view this I'm the same way. I'm currently in this same kinda lull but confident we'll push it out and it'll help us in the long run. Worry about where your chin is(chin up) and head back with your knee. Shoulders too. The ball not being consistent is on us and something we are doing. When WE are deadlock consistent, our equipment will execute. Although this stuff will give us a smidgen of room for error.. that's still in the eyes of the beholder. You're on the right track with ball and friction and all that... My phase 2 will shape hard through the rack or spin and stay low hitting just way right. It gets insanely stressful lol I'll change to my purple hammer cuz it gives me room for error. But that isn't making me better. Hope to hear a reply from ya I loved this

Our lease was canceled for tonight because of Junior Gold tournaments, so one of my teammates and I went a little later and put in about 5 hours of practice time. Was very productive. I am working on a lot of things, like better controlling my speed, better rithm, better and smoother release with higher rev-rate, contolling axis rotation, etc. I think all of these things factor into what you and I are commenting on. Trick now is to put it all together to better contend with various lane conditions and changes. More to learn 😁

Another great vid would help me/us to make a move to keep striking and explain your thoughts on whether to just accept the spares, score for that game or what you do to get back to striking, especially with the pressure you bowl under being pros. Maybe to loaded and to involved but any thoughts help confidence that helps execution.

    • @CoachTylerSmith
      @CoachTylerSmith 29 дней назад +1

      Moving back on the approach will often speed up footwork which will actually increase ball speed. For a lot of bowlers' small moves forward and back will still have you slide/plant at the same finish location, so the laydown point does not change a lot. If you want the ball to slow down earlier on the lane you can change the surface slightly, move up on the approach a little, or bring your eyes closer to the foul line (if you normally look at the arrows, looking a foot or so closer to you can help the ball "read" the lane sooner). Hope that helps.

    I would like to know. I may know the answer based off what I’ve heard from the pro shop guys. BUT, does urethane balls NOWADAYS actually make a difference when you up against it? Does it make the lane transition in any special type of way that sabotages the other team? If that makes sense? I know the old school rollers with the old school urethanes it would make a difference on the lanes and affect other bowlers on the same pair forcing them to roll the ball outside the urethanes line or rolling the same line with their own urethane like fighting fire with fire.
    But yeah. That’s the question. Does urethane affect the lanes nowadays more than a regular resin ball? Like the OG purple hammer pearl urethane and such. Thanks in advance if you cover this. I hope I see the reply if you do!

    I’m a two-finger, no-thumb bowler, but I’ve been struggling with consistency. I think my accuracy is suffering because of slight changes in my palm position during the swing. Do you think I should drill a thumb hole to fix this?
    Honestly, when everything is clicking, I’m throwing games in the 210-240 range. But when it’s hot, I’m sweating, or it’s a tough game, I’ll sometimes drop to 155, and it feels like a grind just to get through. Any advice?

      If you think you are changing your hand position slightly, you can put the "X" orientation mark in a spot you can feel on your hand. Then make sure that X is on the same spot on all of your bowling balls relative to the fingers.

    Great stuff guys.
    As a speed dominant bowler with a 250ish rev rate and 15-16 on the monitor my strategy has been to stay pretty close to 8-12 at the arrows and ball down as the lanes transition in league. Would be interested in hearing your opinions.

    • @kenthanson
      @kenthanson Месяц назад

      same here. I'm just starting to think about ball speed, the center i bowl at just got updated and now we can see ball speed on each shot so its something ive been thinking about more this season.

    • @BowlingBrian65
      @BowlingBrian65 Месяц назад

      @ ball speed on the monitor can be a little misleading depending on where you throw the ball all. For same speed off your hand a shot in the dry to the right will slow the ball down more than if you keep it in middle in the oil.

  • @bryanpederson2022
    @bryanpederson2022 29 дней назад

    Our house is old wood lanes. Very high friction and rapid transition. When I get left of center and the ball STILL goes thru the nose or left of it (I’m a righty) i start driving myself crazy. I’ll take your advice and try not to get too grabby with it and mess with speed some. Keep up the good work guys

    Do you have advice for bowling on more heavily used house shots, for example late in blocks at tournaments? I moved left recently in that situation and struck more consistently but left just a handful of splits that made it worse than when I was sticking right but leaving makeable spares.

  • @surfacetension
    @surfacetension Месяц назад +1

    The other thing is that higher or lower ball speed can be achieved by holding the ball higher or lower in your stance, and starting the pushaway a hair earlier (if held higher) or later (if held lower) so your timing at the line isn't off.

    My target is always the same - the 2 board. I start with my left foot on the 10 board and move left 1 board at a time as the oil breaks down. I usually end the night with my left foot on the 13 board, but sometimes can end up on the 15 board.

  • @dd101dd4
    @dd101dd4 Месяц назад +10

    My problem is the opposite. I'm strong at staying around 2nd arrow. I feel comfortable throwing between 2nd and 3rd arrow. But, I struggle with going to the third arrow and knowing where to throw it. Like what's the right line to what board.

    Hey dudes, how about a video explaining some tips and strategies for when us house shot guys get "trapped out" or faced with a house shot with a serious "cliff". Some nights in league i know i can score better on a sport shot than fighting our 42 ft mens league pattern. A bowler like myself with about average speed and higher rev player ( like Prather) i find myself unable to move back right during transition and also can struggle trying to climb the hill back when i move way left without a drastic change in rotation, speed or core/cover combos. Any advice ? Maybe a video with some strategies you both have used?
    Thanks! Keep the content coming. See you in Detroit this spring.

  • @jcbever1511

    When they say "playing straight", does that mean throwing the ball straight down the lane (parallel with the gutters, for example) and letting it hook into the pocket?

    I'd love to see a deeper dive into some slow-mo shots of the ball going through the pins, to highlight what exactly we're looking for. I've heard you want to hit between the 8/9, it all happens so fast I usually don't see everything or know how to adjust based on what I do see.

  • @Jct198Tolson
    @Jct198Tolson 13 часов назад

    I love the instruction and i probably could do all those things to combat the changing conditions on the lanes. But besides the fact that i doubt you’re gonna read 350 comments, one thing i would really like to see is something for the older bowler. i’m a retired fireman that spent 37 years on the job… my body is broken, back is shot, and i can’t throw the ball at the speeds you’re demonstrating and find that it’s almost impossible to keep the ball from hooking too much when the lanes are like bowling on asphalt. I can rarely get over 12 mph and normal would be around 10 mph. I throw a “Dark Web” Hammer and have been thinking of going with a ball with a shinier surface ( different overstock) to compensate for the inability to throw the ball as fast as is comfortable for a 70 year old man…

    would you guys (depending on the lanes) go with a weaker ball playing straighter then moving left into something stronger to help with blending the heavier oil and other players tracks?

  • @Shawn-e6o
    @Shawn-e6o 21 день назад +1

    Just finished watching your video. First I love your videos. I always learn something from them. My question is I’m a high rev mid speed right hand bowler (450-500 revs and about 15.5 avg speed) and I usually start about 25 board on approach and pitch it to the 12-17 board but my ideal is 15 board. I bowl left to right when seeing transition instead of the traditional right to left. I guess my question is this a correct form for someone that is either a high rev or 2 handed bowler?

    @stevespicer5803 12 дней назад

    Just getting back into bowling and purchased a stronger ball. I like how you're talking about the house shot and making adjustments. On our practice balls, we're limited to 10 minutes of practice which is never enough time to throw that many shots b/c of the number of bowlers practicing. Aside from watching other bowlers and how their balls are going (assuming they throw similar), what are your recommendations, if any, to speed up this process?

  • @flippperboy
    @flippperboy Месяц назад

    Great video and tips with strategies on lining up on a house shot. If you can find a way to teach and show transition and point out why balls over hook past the head pin, or why the ball had no energy going through the pins or why when you belly the ball while moving left on transition it is not reaching your break point, it can open alot of peoples eyes and not blame themselves on their physical game realize it is the way the environment was shaped. Just way too many variables. Thanks for sharing your insights. You guys are improving alot on explaining the game than when you first started.

    • @pilotpete405
      @pilotpete405 Месяц назад

      You gotta keep your hand to the inside part of the ball and not collapse to the outside right at the release point. Also try and bend your elbow to the inside on your down swing Lots of amateurs have that problem. Obviously even a little bit will affect the ball motion. Yes it’s tough to master that and brads hand isn’t doing anything that crazy regarding excessive movement just a very slight turn at release, etc.

    • @TonysMusic1974
      @TonysMusic1974 Месяц назад +1

      @@pilotpete405 I definitely need to get under the ball a little more. My average is 200 House and 170 sport. My problem is that I throw 17 mph with low to medium rev, so I don't give it time to come back if I wanted to throw that kind of shot. Whenever I try to throw slower, my mechanics go all over the place. Thanks for the reply.

  • @DaveTheBowler

I went from 1 hand tweener to 2 hand ripper and I am really taking a while to learn where to move and how to know when to move. any and all help is awesome. if you already did a video like the one im asking for please share, I looked but maybe I missed it.

    Also watching you guys compete in 7-10 lowest game match video would be awesome.

    Do you look at the arrows or do you look down lane at the break point... I was taught to look at the break point down lane where the light meets the dark.... What is the difference as far as ball motion looking at arrows or down lane. I feel like the ball gets longer easier if you look longer... Thoughts?
