This is amazing, it's nice to see a still frame of the release as it's in motion and helps out a lot on how it's supposed to look. I know someone has mentioned arm positioning and elbow positions. Will you guys be making a video on tempo and when to do the push away/ start swing? i've noticed a lot of beginners always try to push away right before the last step so they are trying to muscle the ball the entire time rather than letting gravity do it's thing.
Thanks for the kind words!! Yes we will be making an 'advanced' version to with the bent elbow and wrist position and that's a great idea for future vids!
bowling is awesome, one thing also is do good and learn but not only when ur doing bad but look up learning videos and also learn how to do placement of ball when looking at the arrows but also try to get to the breakpoint. learning is always great when its bowling or anything but if it is bowling then relax and watch well these guys, they definitely know how to bowl and are intelligent on other bowling ball needs and concerns, you guys are awesome. love the reaction vids. just saw ur incite bowling ball review and its really good. im liking that ball too. Its just too many ppl or younger bowlers only want to look up stuff when they are doing bad but look up stuff and learn when ur doing good too cause yea you can bowl a 200 game or a 300 game but even the PBA pros learn and adjust their game even if they win alot. but its how you learn and adjust and fix ur mistakes, try to throw to a different part of the lane, try a different ball, maybe add surface. Bowling is very technical when you start hooking the ball but youtube is there and its awesome and helpful. JR pro shop you guys are awesome keep it the insight and the new ball reactions.
Definitely works. Went and bowled a 40 my first round and came back after this video and hit a 90. Still need more practice but that's only after a 10 min video.
Good stuff...I saw the mention of the elbow being bent slightly to get more under the ball, but at 1:28 you have a split screen of J’s release and clearly his wrist is bent in the side view but is hard to detect from behind. I would like to see a part 2 on this drill talking more about the wrist and elbow positions to help achieve a larger portion of what Jungo demonstrated to us. It’s just not that easy to do or understand without more details. What comes natural to Jungo is very foreign to many of us. Thanks
I definitely appreciate this video because I have a problem every now and then chicken winging the ball which also includes me accidentally coming on top of the ball by turning by wrist/hand on top once I release the ball
I'm both 1 handed and 2 handed. 1 handed: Release your thumb except for the index and middle fingers. Double handed: Take out the left hand before the ball gets launched/thrown.
Might have missed it, but I think a big tip with house balls is if you have a lot of revs and are still trying to throw it 25 MPH (40 KPH), then it probably won't hook like you expect it too. I've seen that a lot with the no thumb bowlers.
I'm glad that he gave 2 ways to do this my problem has always been finding a house ball big enough for my thumb therefore it tends to get stuck so finding a way to hook without using the thumb hole is amazing
oh I'll remember this video. I'm still learning on how to hook a ball, I had a slightly good idea on how to do it after watching so many people while working. ❤👍
Get under ball and come around the ball. Do those two things and its easy. The whole thumb out first and the faster you get thumb out really slowed my progress by months. If you lock the wrist and get under the ball, the thumb comes out first naturally. @JRProShop
It dont require a super strong wrist either. Balance the ball properly in the beginning and stiffen index finger and lock the wrist and don't let it break until release. The further you are under the ball and the faster you unload wrist and follow through the more revs you'll get. The reason Two handed bowlers create so many revs is because of how far under the ball you are. Only reason it's usable is the power and ball speed it produces. I can put more revs on the ball than my ball speed can handle by simply locking the wrist and unloading at release. At that point I don't come around the ball as much and come over more of the back side of the ball. Ball drives at pins on house pattern. It literally will not hook without the proper wrist position no matter how far you come around the ball. It spins like a top or fish flops down the lane. Yes both thumb exit speed and hand position affect hook but until you get under the ball it does 0 good to work on them much. Get under ball and don't let wrist break until point of release. Start there and then come back to this if you are just learning. I started this years season with a 79 average. Today I bowl around 177. Mid season I bowled around 110. Christmas break I was showed how to get under the ball. 50 point increase in less than week. The other 27 came from learning more hand positions and working on release. As I'm new to the sport I wonder if the lifers and pros have forgotten how they learned it or if they was taught how they are teaching. Either way i have since worked with other newbs on this who wonders the same after I show them how to get under. Am I wrong her or is there a reason nobody is teaching this from RUclips. I'm not trolling I'm just wondering aloud and hoping I can help others learn faster by providing my experience and hearing from the pros making the vid. After reading my comment I noticed how it sounds. I am not the a**hole I sound. Haha
@@kevinquick4844 this is a great point. Many bowlers who use one hand STRUGGLE to keep their hand under the ball during the swing especially if you have very weak wrists. For those looking to do more bowling it definitely helps to have a couple of dumb bells at home and curl your wrists while watching tv, etc. to develop more strength. The other common mistake is most people don't lean forward enough when they are going through the approach and ultimately release the ball. The tendency for inexperienced bowlers is to throw the ball almost standing up straight. Doing so will prevent you from throwing a hook and will compromise your back swing and speed.
There's a much easier way to produce those results that everyone ignores. Only use two fingers Simply rotate the ball in your hand while your fingers are in the holes to essentially turn the holes so that your fingers are in front of each other not side to side This provides a very moderate grip on the ball Release as shown. This has been my secret to drunkenly teaching everyone around me at the local shop how to hook the ball hard and fast.
People don’t ignore it-it’s just harder to control and it hurts your wrist. That’s why they showed the two hand method instead of one hand + two fingers
I use the no-thumb method mainly to practice controlling revolutions. I want to get good at using my thumb (more power) but I always end up getting it stuck or leaving it in too long😂
When I was the beginner, my biggest mistake was trying to rotate the ball horizontally rather than vertically. (rotating with wrist, rather than doing it with stiff wrist and lifting it up with my 2 fingers)
I was so frustrated using these type instructions. Could get revs up. The ball hooked but just bairly. It wasnt until i learned to load my wrist and stay below the equator that i got good ball motion
i’ve been taught the 2 finger method and hooking isn’t a problem but i feel like i’m sacrificing a lot of speed and control. need to get my own ball and practice with 3 fingers.
I tried to do 2 hands but I always ended messing something up too much to keep track of started using 1 hand no thumb and getting strikes but idk if this will limit my skill ceiling
I am super confused. Looking at videos on RUclips, some people say to rotate your hand around the ball for more hook, others say its reliant on your rpm and keeping your hand behind the ball for the whole swing. I cant seem to rotate the ball with just my fingertips efficiently. I have a Brunswick Rhino Solid and barely get any hook out of it
I know this is irrelevant to the video but I had a question about my Arsenal. Right now I have a tropical surge, pitch black, phase 3, iq tour emerald, and an old hammer taboo. I was wondering if the idol would be a good ball to add all of my balls are shiny other than the pitch black and I was thinking either the idol or the phase 2
Yea looks like everything you have it low end/ polished. We'd suggest looking at an axiom, and maybe an asymmetrical ball like an omega crux or proton Physix to fill in the high end of your bag
I use house balls without both hands.. im so confused! lol.. although my best game was 162.. so i still suck but still only use 2 fingers no thumb to hook or curve the ball. most of the time i leave 1 pin and am robbed of a strike which is so sad.
I have a question . I have a new 15 lbs storm tropical surge. Im standing with my left foot behind the far left dot. Im right handed and I target between the secend and third arrows from my right. I had to move to two steps from the fowl line to slow the ball down and swing slower becouse I'm over powering the ball. ( I want more power ) so should I try to put more rotation on the ball so I can go back to being four steps away from the line. or put more traction on the ball by sanding it with a lower grit truecut . so I can put more of my stranth into it
I just started bowling in a league for the first time in 30 years and I am having problems with my thumb coming out and my ball and the ball goes to the left and usually hits the seven pin or in the gutter how do I stop this from happening.
Lol they are hilarious. First he said don't go spend $300 on your own ball. Then at the end he says go to your local pro shop and get a ball that fits your hand (but I thought any ball would just do) 🤣😂
Not all balls are $300--my first weighted pro shop ball was well under $100 (over 20 years ago, though). You can also buy used balls or use a hand-me-down--they can fill and drill. I've done this two times myself. Unless you find a house ball with a perfect fit (I've never found one), you will fight against the ball the entire time. Many house balls in the bowling centers near me are plastic and not very dense--you can see them "skip" sideways once they start contacting the pins.
Great videos. I have a question what would be a really good ball for wood lanes that are really dry? I currently have proton physics which is way too much ball for those conditions I want to buy something for those conditions thank you
@@jrproshop hello thanks for your reply! i watched some televised bowling tournaments and noticed when these pro bowlers release their balls it made a 'pop'ing sound? isnt that too tight?
It depends how much you’re trying to hook the ball. The more you hook it, the more angle you need through the front part of the lane. If you hook it a bit less, then straighter will be more ideal
If you release the thumb from the ball and it drops to the lane, this means that you do not have your hand under the ball. The weight of the ball needs to be on your fingers and palm. I teach my beginner buddies that if they are using a 15lbs ball, then at least 14lbs should be supported by their fingertips/palm and only 1lb on their thumb. Anymore weight on their thumb means that they are either on top of the bowling ball, or they are squeezing. Both are bad.
What I don’t understand the backswing. It looks like you’re pushing your hand to go way up high. Using muscle. I was taught to let the ball drop and let gravity push the ball back.
Just gotten back into bowling recently. Probably have 50 or more games in the last couple months. I still can't hook a ball, and its freaking pissing me off.
Try the handshake method, I just heard of it online recently, basically so you hold the ball normally with the 3 fingers in and palm facing the lane like normal, and then as you’re about to release, you turn your wrist and hand, like you’re gonna give someone a handshake and it should hook it, I think, hope this helps :)
@@brilliantmra7464 oh I've watched many a videos on it. And just can't do it no matter how I release it. Only way I can get it to hook is going with two handed.
It will definite take some practice and some strength training, but try bending your elbow just slightly at the release point to help you get more under the ball

Thanks for teaching how to hook the bowling ball I played bowling today it was kinda hard I just needed more practice I but thanks anyway
Nice rare Brunswick GS-98 pinsetter and nice tutorial I have a passion for a bowling since a little kids
I was taught back in the day to hook a bowling ball by following through with you hands and end up with a hand shake gesture at the end.
Same here
I'm both 1 handed and 2 handed.
1 handed: Release your thumb except for the index and middle fingers.
Double handed: Take out the left hand before the ball gets launched/thrown.

Agreed. Anyone new should throw very slow to work on form first to make sure it is hooking properly.
I'm glad that he gave 2 ways to do this my problem has always been finding a house ball big enough for my thumb therefore it tends to get stuck so finding a way to hook without using the thumb hole is amazing
Glad to be of help!
I recently just got my own ball,this helped a lot to adjust
I got my own ball yesterday, it's really good for hooking but I'm not😂
Glad to see this video guys
Finally!!!!!! I'm going to practice tomorrow!!!! I live walking distance from a bowling alley!
loving the vids keep it going!
Cheers mate she worked like a charm
oh I'll remember this video. I'm still learning on how to hook a ball, I had a slightly good idea on how to do it after watching so many people while working. ❤👍

You guys have some entertaining vids
I just enter my ring finger and swing my hand clockwise (Im a lefty) Works every time

Same, I bowled 2 fingers because it was alot easier to get revs but now I realize I need to learn 3 fingers and its so diffcult.
@@Liluzibertgg I’m lackng coordination rn with the release but when I can finally use the traditional throw I’ll have so much power with less effort
Is it better to put your fingers in the hole or leave it out cuz I usually bowl without putting my finger in the hole but I still curve it

I learned to hook and it was like a new world opened up
I don't use my thumb I have my own ball best I've done is 236 buy i want to learn to use my thumb as well, gonna try it next time I go bowling 🤘🤘
🚨 Just imagine raising your hand for hand shake 🚨
Nice ! Other than bending the elbow to get under the ball, any other tips to get under ? thanks !
Dude this is soo easyyyy
Is the thumb in the ball a necessity? Im having terrible luck tiking that thumb release to get a strong rotation
1. You need a higher frame-rate camera 2. The camera is not well focused on the release
That looks hard af
I tried to do 2 hands but I always ended messing something up too much to keep track of started using 1 hand no thumb and getting strikes but idk if this will limit my skill ceiling

I just started bowling in a league for the first time in 30 years and I am having problems with my thumb coming out and my ball and the ball goes to the left and usually hits the seven pin or in the gutter how do I stop this from happening.
Thumb hole too tight ?
Maybe I'm standing in the wrong spot
No it's not too tight and I also have tape in the thumb hole.
Lol they are hilarious. First he said don't go spend $300 on your own ball. Then at the end he says go to your local pro shop and get a ball that fits your hand (but I thought any ball would just do) 🤣😂
Not all balls are $300--my first weighted pro shop ball was well under $100 (over 20 years ago, though). You can also buy used balls or use a hand-me-down--they can fill and drill. I've done this two times myself. Unless you find a house ball with a perfect fit (I've never found one), you will fight against the ball the entire time. Many house balls in the bowling centers near me are plastic and not very dense--you can see them "skip" sideways once they start contacting the pins.
I finally got a good hook by leaving the thumb out, and doing a “spider man flick” controlling the ball as it “falls out”
Is it necessary to lift one leg up after throwing? It looks kinda silly
Great videos. I have a question what would be a really good ball for wood lanes that are really dry? I currently have proton physics which is way too much ball for those conditions I want to buy something for those conditions thank you
We actually just filmed a video that included this! Will be out next week, but as a spoiler the hustle rap would be amazing
That 2 handed Naruto Rasengan technique tho...
What ball is that black ball with the cross?
That's an IQ Tour Solid with tape on it to show the rotation
Why is it necessary to swing your arm twice after release? I see lots of bowlers do this. Please tell me the purpose of this action.
Looks like Jungo has a beard.
hello, is the correct hole size fits fingers like a glove? or should it have a bit of room to wiggle ?
You want it to be snug but not overly tight where you have to force your fingers in
@@jrproshop hello thanks for your reply! i watched some televised bowling tournaments and noticed when these pro bowlers release their balls it made a 'pop'ing sound? isnt that too tight?
@@domeee11 it can be comfortably semi loose and make that popping sound on release.
I try use method both hand , the problem the ball curve before the pin? why ? what should I improve?
The ball is hooking too much.?
So do you aim straight or do you throw at an angle?
It depends how much you’re trying to hook the ball. The more you hook it, the more angle you need through the front part of the lane. If you hook it a bit less, then straighter will be more ideal
@@jrproshop Gotcha. Thx!
How do you extend your back swing...
how do u get the thumb out first without dropping the ball? should your thumb be tight enough so it doesnt require grip at all when swinging the ball?
Yes exactly, you should be using almost no grip pressure (squeezing) during the swing and release. Tight is right 😉
If you release the thumb from the ball and it drops to the lane, this means that you do not have your hand under the ball. The weight of the ball needs to be on your fingers and palm. I teach my beginner buddies that if they are using a 15lbs ball, then at least 14lbs should be supported by their fingertips/palm and only 1lb on their thumb. Anymore weight on their thumb means that they are either on top of the bowling ball, or they are squeezing. Both are bad.

What I don’t understand the backswing. It looks like you’re pushing your hand to go way up high. Using muscle. I was taught to let the ball drop and let gravity push the ball back.
You were taught correctly. There's a couple momentum swings to get that affect when just standing at the foul line
Just gotten back into bowling recently. Probably have 50 or more games in the last couple months. I still can't hook a ball, and its freaking pissing me off.
Try the handshake method, I just heard of it online recently, basically so you hold the ball normally with the 3 fingers in and palm facing the lane like normal, and then as you’re about to release, you turn your wrist and hand, like you’re gonna give someone a handshake and it should hook it, I think, hope this helps :)
@@brilliantmra7464 oh I've watched many a videos on it. And just can't do it no matter how I release it. Only way I can get it to hook is going with two handed.
Here’s the real question: how do you get more under the ball 🤔
It will definite take some practice and some strength training, but try bending your elbow just slightly at the release point to help you get more under the ball
I can’t do that😂
Help I can’t let my thumb go before my other 2 fingrrs
Go very slow to start with it'll take some practice
