I am watching this to utterly destroy my nephew.
So, How'd it go?
@@Itz_brandon I lost.

My wife and I bought her ball to do it. Lmao I’m tired of her kicking my ass! Lmao
Pro trick: you can watch series on kaldroStream. Been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
I have a very simple philosophy: if you don't have a target, you can't possibly miss
Facts lmao
My simple philosophy is I'll get better someday eventually
No no, he's got a point
Legend.
HAHA YOU HAVE A POINT
The shot is super weird. The background literally looks like a green screen overlay. But they Brad bowled on it, and I freaked out
get wrecked lol
SirKibblestein yeah it looks like a bad greenscreen haha
@@tfi4310 real life is bad greenscreens
Lul. Focus
so true!
Yesssss, I am going to watch a lot of bradandkyle because they closed everything I love. They closed down food, fun and bowling.
Coming back to bowling after 18 months. The last month before lockdown, I was averaging about 220. I didn't pick up a ball until three weeks ago. Now, I'm working to get back to a 180 average. All of the little tweaks and adjustments which became second nature to execute, I'm now having to relearn from almost scratch. Balance is the big one. Thank God I can go back and watch all your videos again! Keep up the great work and hit that 100K soon...
A 40 pin drop on your average sounds like a few strikes and many missed spares. Work on spare conversions first. The few strikes will then get you back over 200.
Key word in the process is “Visualization”, alignment, focus and balance... Great tip and vlog... miss seeing you guys out on the road grinding it out on tour...
This is one thing I have been having the most difficulty with. I know what my target is (I look at the arrows, usually the second arrow from the right), and every time I get to the foul line, I hope that my ball will go over what I'm looking at every time, but unfortunately that doesn't always happen. I bowled on Sunday night and I was constantly missing left (however I did have some shots go over my target, even though more of my strikes were brooklyn strikes, lol).
Thank you Brad and Kyle for posting these videos. They have been really helpful and I am getting a little better each week because of your advice. Would love to get the opportunity to bowl with you guys.
Remember what they said in the video: your body has to be right if your targeting is gonna be consistent. You have to drill in your physical game so fundamentals become muscle memory. Once you’re able to do that, being able to accomplish what you visualize is much more easy. Bowling is hard, so practice with a purpose is huge.
@@CurtisL8.3066 Thanks Curtis ;)
ik this is old but people drift in there approach so where ur standing u might drift left causing you to miss to the left a good way to find out is take videos of yourself where you start and where you end up at foul line so then lets say u drift 5 left your standing on x number missing 3 or 4 boards left u can adjust to stand further right so when u finish ur excatly where u wanna be to hit that spot.
@@1337chunkypuff simpler Way to know if you drift.. look down before You start thé approach... look down at the foul line alternative the shot..

@@pattyleabo426 nobody asked
@@chaselmaojk I asked
This just might help me for my upcoming season! Good luck and stay healthy!!! Looking forward to once the pba restarts!😭😭
Awesome video guys. I've found what works best for me is to take my eyes from the end of the lane towards the dots as I approach and draw the line sort of "backwards" in my mind and my eyes are at the dots when I release my ball. When I got that consistent form of targeting and visualization down, my scores started going up.
being a wheelchair bowler i need to get my arm swing constant.
Was it me or did Brad say he looks at the dots at first but then once he throws the shot he said it's the arrows... hmm seems like he knows what he looks at as well as I do! Lol oh well I stick with what works even if I feel like I'm throwing blind lol. Muscle memory is crazy and makes bowling effortless at times. #mentalgame
Love how you guys are trying to help with everything, even things that everyone does differently
ive been using your tips and drills to better my game and to be 100% honest ive seen my avg go from 120s 130s to bowling 190 200 consistantly and a high of 242 the other week. love the videos and thanks for taking the time to go in depth with showing how its done.
That's a great improvement. How long were you working on your game to make that improvement?
@@christ9359 2 times a week for about a year, my 242 high is done now ive bowled a 298 and 300 this year
@@nocturnalmayhem0 that's quite impressive! Keep it up
how have you been?@@nocturnalmayhem0
This was a great video. One thing that gave me a bit of a laugh is that the camera you guys are using is so good. Since you guys have yourselves focused and not the lanes there are a few moments in this video that almost make you guys look like you have a green screen of a bowling alley behind you. Not detracting from the video, just something I found funny.
Went to Kegel a few week ago, I can hit a dime at the fowl line over and over but he had me do balance drills and tighten up my approach and stick the landing to improve my accuracy at the break point.
The idea of balance made me strive for it, and I have found improvement in my game: accuracy improved and scores have gone up. I always had the idea that bowling should be effortless for the most part, and finding the dynamic balance in the approach is how it happens. For me. For you? I dropped a coach recently because he could not deliver on this simple concept, so thanks Brad and Kyle.
I’m going bowling tomorrow. Lucky I’m watching this
Great tips here. Longtime down and in player, losing ball speed, got to learn how to play inside of third arrow. I feel that the suggestions offered here are going to help me a lot.
Bowling basics 101. People get to tied up in just the bowling ball. Great video.
Brad and Kyle, wonder what weight of ball you guys use? Also, if you have a video about ball weight? I was recommended to go heavy vs light. But to me other bowlers can handle there ball more than what I feel I can. Even watching you guys, it looks like you guys have such control, like the ball is 12lbs. Especially in you “ball release” video.
I'm getting back into bowling after 30 years. Even when I was nine years old, I loved the fact that bowling was all up to me. Once I release the ball I have no control, so it's all in my visualization and accuracy.
Brad and Kyle, stay well and safe, guys. Best wishes from England.
Thanks for the tips guys. Can't wait for the bowling centers in my area to open again...hopefully soon.
Thanx-Again You Guys!!! From Akron , Ohio !!!!!!!
I grew up looking at the arrows. I recently started looking at the dots to help get the ball down without lofting it. I noticed I was "more accurate" at the dots, but the margin for error is smaller. I recently switched back to looking at the arrows. I'm a little sloppier at my target point, but much tighter downlane. So it really is a personal preference. Whatever you need to do to find the breakpoint.
This might be the best video you guys have produced for me (0 handicap league bowler)
you must have access to your bowling alley for video recording . ours here in Washington state are all closed because of the CV19 battle .
I needed this for so long.
Brad or Kyle would you please make a video for bowlers with a lower rev rate esp those with wrist problems thanks love you guys
How do we control our balance? I try to keep my form correct, but sometimes I fall out of it. How can I be consistent each time? Thanks so much!
LETTTTTTSSSSS ……….. GOOOOOOOOOOO………. BLUES!!!!!!!!!! haha!! you guys from the STL area?
Is it bad to look at the pins then start look at the arrow then on release look at the dots? Should I focus on one?
Very good and helpful tips, guys. Thanks for your videos and they had truly helped my game. Keep making them and you have us to watch and learn to elevate and improve our bowling scores. Kudos and appreciate your bowling tips.
Can u do some videos with packy and Chris to help out the 2 hander or no thumb bowler? 🤔
Brad & Kyle, always enjoy your videos, great theme song. Brad, at the beginning of this video you say that you use the dots . At the end of the video you say that you use the arrows for your target. You both say it does not matter which you use , dots or arrows, so I am assuming that you , Brad, change your target as you play. Is this correct, or is there an error in the video script?
I have a question I drift and I drift badly let's say I stand on 20 and once I start going towards the foul line I go from 20 to the left and I end up back at either 20 or somewhere between that i cant ever seem to be able to walk a straight line can u help me plz with this some tips I can work on
Love your guys videos but something I know I'd love is you guys talk a little more about the gear and balls you use on your. Hearing from the pros what they like and use is a big eye opener
I am currently upgrading my targeting system. I really wish I had access to a center with oil. The closest one only oils for tournaments or Thursday night league, which is full right now.
But I decided to get a job there, and use it to my advantage lol.
Hi Brad Hi Kyle!
Great video, you explained it very clearly and in simple terms, showed it to my kids (whom you met at 2019 US Open!) and it will be a great help in their bowling education.
Question for Brad. In the beginning of the video, Brad says he targets the dots. But, when he demonstrates a shot at the end, he says he looks at the arrows. Please explain.
Realizing there are so many different ways to look at it helps. I don't bowl the way the majority of people bowl(I actually end on my same leg as hand I bowl with). But being reminded of fundimental info helps.
If that works for you it's great but you may want to try to transition to the other leg unless you have injury. With your other like out of the way it allows for your swing to properly come past your body. Otherwise your arm is having to go around your leg which can cause injury in long-term to your arm
@@highrevbowling7615 thanks for the advice I know it isn't best for me but kinda how I have done it forever due to my opposite side having a disability. I might be able to try it to do it correct way but would take a long time.
@@morganmcconnell247 yeah I figured it may be a situation like that. Ultimately if you're knocking down pins, keep on rocking it
I usually use the dots but if my ball is hooking before it gets to my breakpoint I look further down the lane sometimes between the dots and the arrows sometimes at the arrows this allows me to get the ball further down the lane before it hooks.
I have doing the same thing for 20 years .
Can somebody please tell me the name of the song that they play in the intro because it is jamming
exact foot placement can be difficult to repeat. What's you method for recording the spot when you're bowling some practice games?
Thanks. Great advice from 2 great athletes. Hope to see both of you working again soon
thank u so much brad and kyle
this is so awesome thank you brad and kyle.
I usually look at the dots area to begin my path for a strike and if I start missing for a couple of frames I usually try moving perhaps to the left since I am right handed or I might move my target 3 feet or so past the dots to get back on track. However, if nothing seems to be working using the dots area, do you advice THEN move to the arrows for your target since the dots are now working? I find that adjustments seem much "smaller" in the dots area than perhaps further down in the arrows or past arrows area. Thanks. I enjoy your videos.
Thanks for the help guys.
Today did bowling had fun though helpful tips
Can you do a vlog on getting gown versus staying up at the line?
I love this intro song!
Appreciate yall!
I average around 209 and these videos are awesome. I look maybe 10 feet or so beyond the arrows and I've always wondered if that was normal or not
We all have our own way ...... I just found it easier to hit my spot that way
Sometime my eyes look down. It’s what is done natural for every shot. Sometimes I can just look at the arrows all the way through the approach.
Brad F'n Miller in the 🏠🎳 team⚡storm🌀
My question is where to position your feet when you are targeting. II my shot is straight up board 8 where should I position either the edge of my right foot or the inside of my left foot at the start of the shot and assuming I do not have any drift.? I guess another way to ask is how many boards difference from your feet to the laydown board?
I position inside left....as a righty
Btw, if you walk straight you'll want to position your left foot at 14 or 15th board.
Jim thank you for the reply.. I too position with inside of left foot but have had like a 10 or 11 board difference . Whenever we get get back to bowling I will try the 7 or 8 board difference.
@@stephenczaja125are you drifting to the right? For instance if you start at 15th board do you end up on the 12th?
Good luck with your practice habits.
I can’t bowl for a f***ing month because of the corona virus 😭
Today I went to a bowling alley just to discovered that they got shut down due to the virus. Feel bad man.
Me 2 weeks.
Last Sunday was about to go out of the house to go to the bowling alley for Sunday league when they last minute cancel that night's league due to a suspected person who played there earlier in the day.
i know it sucks!!!! I want to bowl so badly
40 confirmed cases before 1pm today *still goes bowling*
League is cancelled to further notice here in Michigan with only 2 weeks left and we are in first place been bowling hot ready to take the league now this layoff, feels horrible man. Miss it already.
I'd like to know if some of these vids are pre-recorded??? cuz Kyle is still wearing C300 gear
They pre-record these videos in the off-season so they can release them during the season between the tournament videos
I like the blues banner
I thought Brad said he looks at the dots...
That's my problem. Is the dot focus better than the arrow leading to the break point
Help. Conrsd
@@conradmitchell8118 well looking at the dots does make you put more hand on the ball and more revs so. I can only look at both sets of dots honestly
Yeah, he did.
Maybe Brad dots his I’s with arrows. He said dots and then arrows .IDK 🤷♂️
I used the dots as well
Great video.
So the wsob shows were they ever done I seen the world championship but didn't see the rest. Also you videos have helped alot ty keep up the good work
king pin32 they postponed the WSOB animal patterns.
@@DeanMcCain thanks for the info
king pin32 you’re welcome
I look at the dots ..found their closer and easier for me .... but it has improved my gam ‘
Bruce Iler I used to look at the foul line when I was one handed because it helped me release the ball consistently. Now I’m a two hander and I look at the arrows and draw the line back to a point right in front of the foul line (again to help me release the ball consistently).
@@DeanMcCain That's funny I'm the complete opposite. I looked at the arrows when I was one handed but after going two handed I found that it was hard to look up enough to look at the arrows so I'm transitioning to using the dots. The odd part is translating where at the foul line I need to throw to get it to hit at the arrows where I want
pequals hence why I look at a point in between the dots and the foul line after I’ve started my approach. The way I do it is I look at my target at the arrows and then as I go through my approach I look down at the point my eyes want to look at (which is usually right behind the target at the arrows) and then I immediately look at the arrows once the ball has gone over the point my eyes were looking at.
@@DeanMcCain Interesting I'll try that out the next time a bowling center is open around me.
I too miss bowling. I also miss the friend I have lost due to the virus. For all those missing their recreation, I would ask that you consider that there are many things in the world much more important than bowling.
Perfect video when getting mentally prepared for nationals.
Assuming it doesn't get cancelled.
do you recommend to get a polyester ball or to throw your strike ball flat
Why not, you always could use a spare ball for single pins that you don't need to hook it at.
Thanks! Now I want to go bowling and I know I am not able to hahah
Great info guys!! Thanks
Brad said he looks at the dots then said he looks at the arrows ???? Also I have a question. For a righty what foot left or right do you put on your mark? Just curious what most bowlers do.
Does anyone else love the intro music as much as me lol?
Great video and great points guys, keep grinding after this corona v pass’s by.
im a 2 hander with a 200 average but i never pick a mark to aim at. i just “know” where to throw it. i just know if its good or not. should i try and get a spot to throw at or nah
You're just playing an area, if you are standing in the same place and moving as the night goes on, it's ok to play that way. Especially on a house shot. Although, being able to nail your target board at the arrows or dots, and hitting a 2-4 board area at the break point down lane will dramatically increase accuracy and scoring. It will also allow you to adjust one or two boards left or right to change the trajectory of the ball. This becomes exceedingly important if you ever get on professional sport oil patterns. I was chatting with Brad at a PBA event and we touched on the subject a bit.
When you say you "know" where to throw it, that's your visualization. You know that if you place the ball here, it will go there and curve like that and hit the pocket like this. You're FEELING it rather than memorizing it, and it is good to have that instinct. But it's not great for consistency when suddenly you DON'T know where to throw it. What's your point of reference that you have to use to adjust? If you move left, how much are you moving? If you're lucky guessing, that's not consistent, even if it gets results.
I suspect you do know the details but you're just not paying attention to them. If you can repeat your shot consistently, then you have a set position and a target already. You're great at visualizing, and your execution is coming subconsciously rather than being a ritual you memorize and follow. I just don't personally trust myself to be that physically consistent, especially after many hours of bowling. Fatigue really hurts my game.
at the begining brad said he aimes at the DOTS,at the end before he takes his shot he says he goes for the arrows?
So you can focus on the pins?
8:21 new cloths hilarious xD !
Meanwhile.. I just centre my focus on the pins firmly and insure that my release is as straight as I can make it. :D Aiming for the strike pocket. It has worked 85%/90% of the time. I struggle to see the arrows on the lane due to the glare of lights. (Sometimes I aim between 2nd and 3rd if I am able.) It still ends up being roughly the same results. My balance has drastically improved via some words from a teammate (to the point where I am unable to bowl the way I did before.) But the key for me personally? Listening to music via headphones. I time my approach, my swing and my release to certain favourite tunes. Now that I am balanced and I take my time to slow down? I am seeing a real positive perk to my scores. I may not be a pro bowler by any means.. But 6 years in a league has provided me with a hobby that is essentially legal anger management. I am set to move to an alias league next year so that I am able to wear my headphones every time I play. (Stupid TBA rules will plague me no longer soon enough.) 🤣
This helped me so much
Great tips guys thanks
Will this help with two handed bowling as well
Of course. Visualize your shot, execute your delivery, stay balanced until the ball hits the pins.
Love watching your videos but question for Brad. @ 2:25 you said you look at the dots and then @ 7:41 you said you look at the arrows. Please explain... Also Please tell Kris Prather that was awesome watching his 300 game/bet plus I just got to watch his Win in Ohio.
I believe he’s talking about a 3 point targeting. You look at where you want your ball to read the lane?(breakpoint) for 3 seconds then you move to the arrows for 3 seconds then the lay down spot for 3 seconds. You move from each spot to visually draw the line to the pocket and then most people look at the arrows during their approach. I could be wrong but this is what I use and it sounds similar to what he’s talking about.
I have to ask this question I don’t look at the arrows I don’t look at the dots I’m actually looking at the breaking point where the ball would break into the pans is that wrong
your right when you say it does not have to have a number but my coach always says i want u to aim a the 10 arrow but he refers it to the amount of boards so it goes arrow 5 10 15 20 15 10 5 is that bad to actually make numbers for it
Good advice; let me go check on Wesley 😂
I want to see Brad with HAIR is there an early video out there?
2 and 3 arrow is normal depending on various ball types . . .but Oil patterns suck in tournament play very hard like the shark pattern hate that one lol
I have trouble keeping my eyes on my target. I have a very high back swing like Kyle how do I keep my eyes on target.
Brad, first you said you look at the dots, at the end of the video you said you look at the arrows?
Thanks
Usually when im bowling i am looking at the foul line and i got pretty good at it, but my shots do tend to be innaccuate with my target because my eyes are at the foul line and arrows but my shot ends off with my eyes at the foul line and not the arrows which nothing is wrong with looking at the foul line but the arrows create a better picture and result down lane
I actually never hit my mark. I generally consistently miss it in the same spot, about 2 boards right, at about 1 foot past it. If I hit my mark, I know I messed up and pulled it :)
Had my highest game in league on Friday, 202. Wish I could say the other two games were even close to that 😂😭😭
I swear after one game my ball either hooks off the lane of doesn't hook at all, I can never find any middle ground. It is so frustrating.
I'm 64 havent bowled in 40 years. I started with the arrows if I was missing my target I would go for the dots. Then watch what arrow it was hitting. going bowling tonight for the first time in 40 years . My ball is from then also . Urethane hammer 1st generation. lol. hope I survive.
Even when you throw your ball over your target, the oil depicts how the ball will travel down the lane. For me, I make adjustments based on the lane and somewhat my mark.
i am watching this in the middle of a game and ready to DESTROY and DOMINATE
If the PBA shuts down for Coronavirus, you guys should do a house tournament in Wii Bowling to really see who’s the best. Like do they can see!
