I reviewed this video. Specificall Tip #3. I want to thank you for this so much. Why? I bowled a 247 in my league last night. I have been bowling unkowingly using my whole hand for the last 5 years. Suddenly, my thumb fit perfectley in my bowling ball and my revolutions just went sky high. Also, I could control my Axis Tilt to match the lane oil pattern. Considering all the other videos I have watched, your video, so far, is the only one I have viewed that emphazied Tip #3. My gut tells me that you are a very good bowler yourself and a very good person. Thank you so much for making this video. You may indeed be a genius. As it is said "You Can't Prohibit Genius"
When you say your thumb fit perfectly what was the before feel to the after feel? Meaning was it a loose fit before to make you squeeze and then the thumb was tighter so you didn’t have to squeeze or was it extremely tight before and then became loose. Just honestly asking is all. I love my thumb to be extremely snug so I can totally relax my thumb that’s just me tho
Squeezing the ball too hard with thumb because I was not getting my fingers in first then the thumb. I then placed one piece of tape in my thumb put my finger tips into the holes at the first crease and slid my thumb in next. I'm an ex semi fingertip bowler so I was ignoring the span of the ball and digging my fingers in too deep which caused me to over squeeze my bowling ball because I was ignoring the span created by the fingertip drilling.
I'm 78 years old, been bowling for 60 years. Been holding ball from outside all this time. Knew I was doing something wrong. Your video showed me how to hold and release ball correctly. Been looking at videos for years, yours is the best. Thanks.
Excellent John, I’m trying to get on the alley and bowl but it’s been 30 years. So your post told me at only 74 I can probably still do it. I will bowl at Brighton bowl. Good luck.
As a Silver coach I just want to congratulate you on a great video. You explained everything perfectly in my opinion. The quality of this video shows your care and passion for the sport. Keep up the great work!
This is the best video on hooking the ball. THANK YOU. I have searched and viewed many videos but they all go so fast and don't explain half the things you have explained here. The other views don't even slow down the hand motion or show close-ups of your hand. So thank you bro!
Im 61 years old i have never been able to hook the ball with any consistency i have hired coaches for help, why is no one willing to give this information i quit bowling cause i was so frustrated i knew i was doing something wrong but did not know what it was. this information makes me want to start back again! your the best thank you!
I followed your 5 tips and in my second game I got 5 strikes and 2 spares. The first game I got one spare learning the technique. Once I settled down and just rolled it easily with the hooking technique on the right side of the lane, The ball was hooking nicely for the second game. Thank you. I just bowl maybe 5 times a year and could never hook the ball. I watched your video a couple of times.
I've been looking for a good tutorial for years and never found one that I connected with and made good sense. This is by far the best one out there. Thanks for breaking everything down step by step and then giving tips on how to practice/apply what we've learned. Cheers!
My first XXX in my life !!! Thanks for your advice!!! In only 20 minutes of practice my game went right up to heaven!! When I make my first 8X I will search for you to play.
Hi sandro. I bowl for about 3 years and have watched endless RUclips video clips. However, you have published an amazing tutorial video clip. Very helpful. Thank you very much. Guenter
This is the best video on how to really hook its so good that it shows how to hook with a house ball no finger tip! I see that in order to hook you need a ball you can cup easy a heavy ball will cause a weak wrist and it won’t hook also will tend to grab with fingers. Thank you can’t wait to try this
I probably should watch this before I bowl in my league each week just to remind myself of what to do… I wish I could like this video more than once because it seems to break everything down so well… great work
New bowler and have been looking at a lot of release videos. Yours is the best out there. Covered all the main points needed to start work on a proper release. Thank you.
Thank you.....After years of struggling with the release....this discussion is by far the best. Even the pro's have not explained it correctly. You did......Congratulations on an excellent presentation.
Sir you have no idea how many videos I had to watch to get this information!!! THANKYOU I’m just beginning and I’m awful but this was so very helpful!!! THANKYOU
I really like this video. The best part is you keep it simple and make so that it is something you can start applying to your practice right away. One of my biggest struggles is my release. After watching this video, I will be practicing this a lot more! Thank you very much!
I am a level one coach in Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 these are fantastic tips and what I try and get my students to do thx u very much can't wait for your next tips. Cheers steve 🥃
Thank you for the really informative video. I am a beginner bowler on a league and I want to get away from throwing a straight ball that never gets me passed a 125 average...on a good day, but this video really gave me the courage to try throwing a hook to improve my average. I've looked at a lot of videos and this one I believe was the most helpful. Thank you again.
This video helped so much, I’ve grown fairly advanced in my way of bowling, I have a 194 average, however I have been using my thumb and whole hand to hook the ball, causing a very visible torquing motion in my wrist and arm which I want to eliminate
League nights I’m finding that early in the night I’m having an awful time from getting around the outside back to the inside. I know it’s not what “everyone” does but I really need to use the 15 min of practice time and throw the foul line drill over and over to warm up. Thank you for making this video! Just a suggestion, since you were so detailed and easy to understand maybe show a couple of the examples in slow motion? Thanks again
now i understand what my dad meant when he would say too high or too low. thanks to you i understand a lot more about how to hook a ball. im glad i was almost able to figure it out in my head tho lol.
Awesome video! I’ve been bowling for a long time and I’m what most players would refer to as a pure stroker release. I want to transform my game because my pin carry is not great. I am definitely going to practice your foul line drill many times until I get it right!
this is by far the best bowling tutorial video, i got results on the first day, i’ve always wanted to learn how to properly hook , i’ve always had the bad habit of using my thumb
😊 excellent tutorial for me .. thank you ... am 66 and now bowling the best games of my life .. where were you 50 years ago😅 .. am having so much fun .. thank again and best 👌 wishes sir ❤
This is so helpful! It great to see how to do it (visually), but also the explanation (physics) behind it helped make this concept make more sense! Great video.
Great Video! I always watch it to remind be how to bowl again! When I stop scoring like I normally do! It is not the ball it is YOU🤣😂🤣😂 Stop buying NEW bowling balls and watch this Video!!
I've filmed myself and found that I've been coming around the ball and hitting up on it to generate revs. The big thing you said that I'm having trouble with is the patience part. I just want to be able to throw the ball the right way lol.
Bank when I played in High School (not as part of a team, just hobby) I got some pointers from some better bowlers. One in particular was a big help for me with hooking the ball. He told me when I go to release the ball, move my hand as if going into a handshake. I've done that for a long time and had decent rolls. Granted, I'm several years out of practice and was rolling consistent gutter balls just the other day lol... But that could just be lack of practice and stance and all, gotta get back in the groove! This certainly helped me out, thanks a ton!
Great video man. I recently started bowling over the past month on a league with my friends, and have been using the 2-finger, 2 hand method since that is how my friends have been throwing, and taught me to do so too. It's working ok, but before I get too far along, I wanted to give the conventional single hand a try with the thumb. I had a ball drilled today, and realized that I absolutely cannot keep my hand behind the ball to save my life. I was really caught off guard realizing how weak my wrist is. I lift at the gym 3 days a week, and thought I had enough strength, but boy was I wrong. I'll definitely be doing the exercises you showed here. Thanks for the video.
I have tried to get my hand to turn to the inside but my wrist is a bit stubborn. But I’m waiting to try getting my fingers under the ball. Unfortunately our lanes barely lay down oil anymore and if the do the volume of it is very low. So even with the least aggressive ball in my bag and moving practically in the next lanes approach I can’t get the ball in the pocket. The last thing I need at this place is more hook. I practically have to through up the middle to get there.
As a trainer and a coach i find this a very good video for people who wanna learn how to throw the ball with a hook. You basically explain my first lesson when someone comes to me when they wanna learn how to hook a ball.
This is the first time seeing how to properly hook and surprisingly it’s almost exactly how I taught myself through trial and error. When I first started I couldn’t figure out how to hook with the thumb so I don’t use my thumb but I might have to make an adjustment so I’m more consistent
Also... when you have the right form, you can bowl forever without fatigue. It'll save your shoulder, elbow, wrists and fingers even. I can huck a 16lbs ball >20mph with ridiculous hooks for 20 games straight with strain. Great video explaining the physics of it. Dont forget that offset core reactive urethane ball with fingertip setup. You cant hook a plastic house ball very much no matter how good you are.
I can’t believe you beat me to the punch lol this is the type of videos that bowlers needed and tbh you did a way better job than I would’ve. I know people are tired of watching these old fashioned tutorials. Your the man and you’re already my fav bowling channel keep it up!
I'm a beginner. Been watching a lot of videos but I'll be honest. Your video is really very good. I didn't know these lessons until now. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to watch your future videos.

This video is wonderful. This is fantastic. I have two people I know trying to learn to bowl.
Thank you! Let's us know if you have any specific questions on any level of learning you're at the moment :)
thank you so much to articulate the mechanics of hooking.

This is a good breakdown!
👍 Easy to understand. 😄
This will really help me. What great Tips. You showed me things, i nerver really knew. It is good to know how to bowl. I should get better.
Great video. I learned quite a bit, and recognized a few things that I do improperly. Thanks!
Very informative! 👍

Dont try to sell in somebody else's channel smarty
Wow great video very informative, Lots of important details. I can’t wait to try it. I’ll probably try a lighter ball that I can hold easily.
Thank you for the detailed and well filmed hand positioning. I think just changing my hold and bending my arm will get me above 200.
Great tutorial! 👍
Great Video !!!... Well explained step by step...Gracias Sandro...
Gracias por el comentario!⚡
This is basically my key issue with bowling right now “staying up the back of the ball”. Thanks for this awesome video 👍🏾😀
Awesome video. It has helped me to hook my bowling ball properly.🎉
Good video! I only bowl straight, so these tips give me a lot more confidence to start learning the hook shot.
Thanks for this video I know I will bowl better now
Awesomeness. Top rate video and tips! Thank you!!
This is the first time seeing how to properly hook and surprisingly it’s almost exactly how I taught myself through trial and error. When I first started I couldn’t figure out how to hook with the thumb so I don’t use my thumb but I might have to make an adjustment so I’m more consistent
I’ve been struggling with getting leverage and it’s hard to figure that out. I think that would be a good one too.
This was a great video! Awesome job my friend!
Thnk u I hope this will help me in. Improving my game✨👍🏻
Great video...I will try this next time
By far the best tutorial
Great video!! What a wonderful gift that the entire community can learn something from!
I'm so hyped right now.
oh and i hit the like button and im now subscribed!
This was a really good tutorial. I never knew bowling had so many mechanics behind it.
Great video man. I bowl decent and all, but never spent the time at the foul line to get the thumb out the correct way. Thanks for the tips 👌
Yeah, get the practice done as I mentioned and you should see and feel good changes in your game 💪🏼
Tremendo video. Muchas gracias, un saludo
I wish I could hire you in person. Nice vid. I need to practice because I’m terrible lol
Thank you Sandro for a great video!! 👍
Also... when you have the right form, you can bowl forever without fatigue. It'll save your shoulder, elbow, wrists and fingers even.
