This is not a storm Brunswick nor hammer motiv ball review bowling ball video
It was very honest and brave of you to even upload this. Full credit to you for that.
All part of the journey
I love that you are accountable for the mistakes you make . Keep grinding we will keep watching
Crazy how much harder the lane conditions are at a tournament compared to regular league. Really appreciate the effort in the videos and hope that you realize there is an army of 220 fans rooting you on no matter the outcome!
Aside from oil pattern, it's also due to the number of games and bowlers having higher rev rates which break down the lanes faster and diffrently, and I'm sure a number of other things.
Thank you for taking time to always post videos. I love your content bro
Usually don't like loud music montages in RUclips, but honestly the music you pick are kinda bangers
😄
The mental toughness needed when every shot feels like you're swinging the ball inside a phone booth just to stay accurate is exhausting. I've only had the pleasure of trying one regional and it was incredibly tough and I performed horribly but learned a lot. Don't you love it when what feels like a perfect shot turns into a disaster? Keep grinding!
hey bro your game is cool and smooth, but you still need to keep your sliding foot straighter, so you don't point chest and foot towards the adjacent lane and keep missing inside and you can't get a consistent proper follow through coz your chest is facing nearly 45 degrees to your right and blocks the movement of your swing. love your footwork its smooth, when your foot is straighter at the slide finish point you will have a better release on your intended target and arm will follow through better and get a better shot post most of the times than not. GOOD JOB.
100% correct. I'd recommend watching Marshall Kent who plays deep but slides straight and pushes the ball straight too. The right foot controls his launch. A lot of people tinker with opening their body and sliding or pushing down their target line. Many coaches teach that but it's too inconsistent. The lanes are an optical illusion. You only need about 3 degrees open to play all the way left so get that with your right foot and downswing not your left. Tougher patterns will punish you for missing right and missing left. Kent breakdown video here: ruclips.net/video/pfaUQpH9oIg/видео.html
The foot isn’t as much as the issue as much as just a lack of upper body rotation. The upper half is out of sync so a lot of power is lost as a result. I personally would like to see more drive from the lower half, but the upper half being not timed well is the bigger issue and a simple fix.
This actually makes me feel a little better about my set last night. Love that you show the good and the bad.
No Hate Just Criticism. 220 Avg bowler, at the first couple of games you used the swing technique you’ve been practicing with the last couple of weeks/ months. After the game scores started to get lower you changed it to your old good for nothing swing and scored even lower a little bit. Why? As a youth bowler, most of my coaches and my dad always told me to not change my technique/ swing and my scores only go up. YOU HAVE TO TRUST YOUR NEW SWING AND STICK WITH THE BALL THAT WORKS.
I'd bet it was a subconscious move. He may have suspected he resorted to his old swing but really confirmed it once he saw the videos. Once you groove something to the point that feels natural, making any change then feels then feels unnatural, even if it's correct. As your body fatigues, it will naturally default back to what it thinks is normal, which for him is the higher backswing. It's also a very common that if you are working on something new, and it isn't producing results, you will immediately go back to your old habits because at least that feels comfortable. Basically, if I am going to miss this shot, at least let me miss it in a way that feels normal and I feel like I can control the result.
He needs to work on his in consistent balance too. Sometimes he slides with a crooked foot
@@SkateClipsAndTips that really stood out in this video... as the day went on, his footwork was all over the place, especially once he moved next to ball return... I would target those games 4-6 as what not to do and try to get used to bowling bigger sets of games with that new style in practice... you'll get there, but it will take at least 100 games for most new styles to feel comfortable and really take hold
Major changes in technique often you will see some regression in results until the new technique is locked in solid. I empathize with 220 as I made some major technical changes during the last year and it definitely took a hit on my average, but once the changes took it was well worth it. I like his lower backswing; better ball motion and he posts shots way more consistently. I hope 220 sticks with it and lets the changes become ingrained.
It only looks like that because of the angle he has to create because he is standing very far left. This appears to be what was required by him in order to create the right shape.🤷♂️
I really appreciate this style of video. Getting to see all of your games with a little insight into what adjustments you’re making and what you’re thinking. Thank you for sharing!
It's always wild to see how the professional events seem to differ from the local alley. Thanks for taking us with you on the journey!
As a fellow bowler I'm just glad to see you getting out there and trying! You learn from these battles, and you become better. Keep grinding, love the videos!
He's not though, and that's the issue. As of now he's a doner.
You’ll get em next time! 220 still my favorite no matter what!!
Your back swing went way too high again. Focus on the lower one you've been working on and keep at that. Cheering you on as always!
Yep I saw the same thing as he moved left the arm started going above his shoulder again. It was even or below earlier in the day.
Great meeting you both in Boise! Keep up that great work!
Good meeting you Paul!! Will do 😎
Great video Michael. I always struggle with transition and I feel like the more left I move the worse my form is as well because its so foreign to me. Im so used to playing straight when I move in I don't know how to get it out the right comfortably. But, very pretty amateur and have never bowled on transition like that in my life. Ill be lucky to find the pocket again after trying the 2 or 3 tricks I know, then I'm lost. Love your content. Super inspirational and genuine, as well as thoroughly entertaining.
220, what are the chances of you making a 4 star dragon ball bowling ball?
If we do it won’t be until next year but it’s something I want to do
that was fun to watch. You look good out there. Hey I got my first clean game the other day with the new balls. Making steady progress. Thanks for another great video. (Hi Forrest, hi Cagle).
ATTA JEN! I had 0 clean games for this tournament lol
So excited to see you compete!
Super glad to see you doing this!! .. you need to do a whole lot more of these to gain the experience. It's a different world competing in this environment, something you can only learn by doing.
Keep it up Michael .. this is awesome!
(Hopefully) constructive criticism: your swing is soo muscled .. if I were you I would focus on letting your arm swing freely .. gravity is way more consistent than our muscles/minds .. 8:19 is a perfect example of a free swing
Man, I cant ever remember seeing lanes get that tight that fast. Glad your backswing is where it needs to be. And glad to see you back in the saddle. Can only go up from here my man.
Beautifully edited. You'll get the swing figured out. Great video.
I counted at least 4 Greek church, dang.
Went to a smaller tournament a month ago and bowled on a pattern I never saw before. First game was really good, but it quickly broke down and I lost my shot. With only being a weekend bowler with my work schedule, I didn’t know how to move or keep consistency.
With that said, I’ve been working on my entire release and have seen a ton of improvement. You’ll understand what to change and what to work on and come back better.
Good luck on your journey.
a session with mark baker would breakdown the balance issue. When you pull down from the top of the swing with your upper body the response is the lower body opens up to counteract the force being applied. It’s a muscled swing that causes that. The shots where you don’t muscle it typically stays on line and strike and your lower body doesn’t get wide open at the foul line. I appreciate the effort and your videos. Still rooting for you Mikey!
Dude.... DOOOOOOOOODE.... Well done..... I know how hard it is to change your game, fine tune, and in quite a small amount of time your consistency of release is sooo much better, swing too, i know youll still be over critical, but keep it up brotha, kick ass !!!! ninja throw star! shaddooooooo kun!
Gieco caveman 😂
ayo
that must be a very tough pattern, no where near a 220
good thing you noticed ur going back into the old form and of the swing, also would recommend a spare ball at this point.
trying to be norm duke is one thing but many of those spares could've made without having the reactive ball hook.
also can't say if its the fault of ur "old form" but ur release is also quite inconsistent, maybe check ur pitches again in the proshop ? with the amount of games you play and gym wouldn't be surprised if ur hand / fingers went through changes
I love these videos! I would love if you could just add an image of the ball you're throwing each game! If not, this is at least a comment for the algorithm 🤝
Love the song choices and great bowling! im sure it was tough out there !
I think you did very very well Michael .. just being there is a win !!!
Was just at Westy’s in Boise for the SYC. Finished 5th and had a front 10 game. Pretty nice center and great staff.
Cool story
Moves left and throws the same line!
Back to back greek churches is crazy
Hell yeah! 220 video to watch while waiting for my car to be worked on💪💪.
Your backswing reminds me of a Jackie Wilson hit song. Higher and Higher!
That game 1 is too familiar for me in tournaments. Frustrating.
Good luck on getting your swing to where you want it.
They give you a map showing the Hardwick layout .... ahhhhhh never mind
Great outing.!. The pin action was dead and with the lanes breaking down so quick, I bet adjustments were hard to get ahead of.
probably the hardest thing to bowl in tournaments is transition especially when you don't practice these patterns back home
Mash potato with the 300
I read Jay's comment and I completely agree with him. Im a youth bowler to and I've been told the same thing. My only thing with you is how much you moved on the right lane. I understand that you were trying to stay to that side but I think it made you a little less accurate. But overall you did pretty good. Please show more videos like this. It was really cool to watch you actually bowl.
Sorry you got cut out! Tough pattern that broke down fast probably didnt help you! Very nice video too... I know how time consuming splicing up bowling videos is (from personal experience). Good luck in the next regional! You learnt some stuff, so that's positive. Cheers!
Hope you enjoy your time in Boise! That’s the house I bowl in.
One simple thing to work on. You're getting out the ball too early. Release the ball after the slide-step out onto the lane.
Oh man I missed you guys? I live in payette, ID would of loved to come see you guys. Would of made the trip to boise for that.
I honestly feel like you should stick with your 2 handed style, you can control it better than working on your inconsistent back swing
I agree
his 2 handed consistency is not much better tho.
Nah thats just sloppy nonsense
i think improvement on the spares would help a lot. I wish I could bowl that well on such a hard pattern. keep at it.
Clean that head unit screen wow, lol.
More Vlogs like this and Keep going, man!
The score may not show it but you still looked good, a few splits that threw the score off but also watching the first couple bowls it looked like the curve was reacting weird to the lane! I seen a few throws that didn’t curve normally
220 reminds me of a kid that won’t stop punching you in the arm
You move left, but drift back to the right on your approach.
Keep it up man. Look like a tough transition for sure. Just a thought tho. Ima 210 avg bowler so take what u will from this," but almost everytime u missed high, it looks like your pulling your backswing down and it's causing u to miss high." Almost looks uncomfortable at times. Like i said man, just a thought. Keep grinding it out tho it's a long season ahead. Only reason I noticed that is cuz that's something I need to work on as well.
Your my hero bro lol, I wish I was good enough to bowl PBA!
Hey keep your new swing its better than your old one as you can see in your scores youre gonna have bad days and good the lanes didnt play to your favor most of the time keep it up and keep practicing
Well at least you tried man, hopefully it'll go a bit better next time
You would know better than I, but it looked like on the ones where your approach was faster you had the old habits creeping in. When you got to game 4 the old habits were visible, but do you think that could also be because you were "loose" and warmed up? I notice that for myself as I bowl longer I get faster on the approach and my swing gets higher. Even on ones where you slowed your approach just a tad the ball came out a lot better even with a bit of a higher swing. In the previous video's you've either posted or been in, your approach with the new form has been much slower than what I saw in this video. I also can't imagine what the mental side would've felt like in the middle of it all, dealing with that is it's own beast. I see some people saying you switched to your old swing, but it definitely wasn't on purpose, that much is obvious. You don't need any pointers from me, but I think the least I can offer is feedback from what I see in this video compared to what you've shown in others. Hey but for a 1st go at it with the new form at a Regional, stepping stone. You got it man!
@ 220 average bowler…I’m not a Pro or even close to it ,but I have studied the aspect of the game to a T.From the video it looks like Your release timing is off. Your spot on staying under the ball longer opposed to coming around the ball to early. Just my 2 cents
Keep grinding brother, spares make or break tournaments. Gotta find a way to be more consistent in picking them up, especially the makeable ones.
Ever consider keeping your trail leg more stable and close to the ground?
I'm new to your channel but how do you not use a plastic ball and shoot straight at your spares? Do you average 220 on sport shots or on your house shot?
😮
Gotta flatten out your hand and roll it way more up the back to throw a reactive ball straight.
I do not average 220 on patterns 😂
If you stopped hooking at your spares, you could become 230 Average Bowler...
where that spare ball at? we know you have like 20 options... whats your favorite one?
Let me say first that I greatly respect your game. That being said, it appears to me you always fight the same tendencies. You like to drop your right shoulder and don't always square up your shoulders and hips at the line. Therefore you tend to throw across your body which makes consistency difficult. You probably already know this because it hasn't been as pronounced lately. Good luck with your transformation. We're all a work in progress!
Well friend it has become time to take a full week and go to the kegel training center and work with del warren and crew if you seriosuly want to keep doing this with a hope to be a factor in any tournament. All the best
Hey Mike nice Video. I have been bowling not even for 4 months yet and I increased my ball speed as a 2-hander. Is 11-12 MPH decent. And my highest game has been 118
When you see pros bowl on TV, it often shows they are throwing in the 17-20mph range. You are likely throwing around 13-14mph (this is measured different at your bowling alley than it is on TV), which is fairly low but not uncommon for a beginner 2 hander. As long as you work on your form, your speed will increase as you keep practicing 👍 consistency and accuracy are key in the beginning, speed will come later
i notice you have drift 7 to 8 boards right and thats not good you rather drift left then right
He needs a lot of work on his approach and swing
Played on these lanes yesterday on the same pattern not fun!
Will you bring back the scratch bowler merch back. Looking for your cat shirts.
im just wondering on why the guy to your right a few times had a glove on his left hand but threw the ball with his right hand. better grip for the left hand? just very confused
Just to correct, you flew into Boise but, you went to Garden City.
You are using balls that are too angular, they are either through the nose on behind the headpin, you need smoother balls, maybe a few pin down to decrease the sharp left turn
yo sick plane graphic
Ahh yes the ups and downs of bowling tournaments! Keep up the great content!
BTW, Anyone else wondering why Frankos was messing around on the approach while Nash and Weaver were going for their 300s? :/
Lanes broke down. Standing on 25 hitting 20.. Come on dog
Dude if you are averaging 220 I need to know where so I can show up and average 299 because your game needs a lot of work and you could’ve fooled me
I wish I could do one of these
A real regional bowler would have driven, not flown.
We got lots of work to do I see
I always wonder why no ones ball down when it hooking to much
are you still 220 avg or has it change?
My guess is 205
😂
that 300.... That guy was throwing the ball just under 18mph EXIT speed... no thanks.
If you're not getting a good look in the 1st couple games, why not switch balls and try to play a different part of the lanes? You were trying to force it which killed you out the block for the first 5 games🤔
Im Going to say this... and then hold my peace. Sanded ball (ION MAX) to 500 and up 5 and in. You guys are playing this pattern the most difficult way possible. The angles you are playing, make you have to be accurate 100%... you have no error room. Up 5-8 and in... allows you to leave makeable spares... and gain more carry. I see this everytime I go to tournaments... players trying to send the ball to a breakpoint WHILE others wreck that very same break point with urethane an d 2 handed high rev "sprinkler level of accurate" bowlers. Remove that from the equation and go up 5-8 and in... Just a learning experience but next tournament... start to the far right and work your way in. Thats how you break a lane down for sustainable scoring. If you have no friction to send your ball to... you are always going to be over and under. Just some friendly words of advice.
After you break down the line... you can move to a cleaner cover... and send your ball to the friction. The only problem with this strat... is that it requires other bowlers to also break the lane down properly. In a situation like this... Its impossible. Too many sprinklers just pushing oil and stripping oil in the improper places. Also, since no one bothered to break the outside down... if you miss outside... its GGs and Out the window it goes.
ps...I am still very boring!

evan nash is pretty good bowler for sure
You should go back to 2 handed. You have better form
Agreed
Agreed
Might need to change the name to 150
Avg bowler 😭😭😭
Have you ever considered.. NOT pulling the ball? 😂 jk jk
What bowling balls were you using. Any surface changes made?
Started with phaze 2 at 1000, switched to phaze 4 at 3000 later and briefly tried the virtual energy blackout. Should include this in future vlogs
A valiant effort! Is very hard when it is not going well to keep from reverting to bad habits/prior form. Maybe should have pulled out the invisible ball in practice to intimidate the competition! Maybe a couple of sales as well! Enjoy your videos!
What the names of the music you used
I see your backswing is trying to reach Jesus again… lol
I don't understand why you wasn't lil more right to start. It's clear you had hook out there
If you pop off a 866 set I'll buy pizza for all of us🎉😂❤
Like in general? High ever is 825 I got some work to do lol
throwing a little scared. Prolly why you were pulling it. Just let it rip
Looks like you went back to your old ways with the high back swing. Not necessary. Looked good in league, lower backswing with control. You have to remind yourself of the work you put in to fix your backswing.
you should have added the fart sounds to 90 percent of the balls you threw.
I did that for a regional vlog once. the fart sound gets old pretty quickly
