    Thank you for the inspiration for a lefty, I’ve been bowling for a long time and carry a good avg’ 189 I shot a 721 series but I’m always practicing with different stuff in the house or outside against the wall with a soft spongy ball for release and always looking for videos like this. My goal is to be a good bowler with a 230 average. I was hurt in an accident and to continue to bowl I had to go lefty. That was 4 years ago so a solid avg I have achieved but want higher so I have subscribe in hoping to see more from him. Thanks

    Being new to bowling, is there more to hooking the ball? Do you have to look anywhere specific or slide towards a specific direction? Thanks for showing hand placement.

    Nate, I appreciate the video but there is no bend in your elbow on your back swing or in the follow through....3:20

  • @josh55526
    @josh55526 9 месяцев назад

    Your tip about a small amount of elbow bend and keeping your elbow by your side helped me out a lot. I tried to go for a pendulum swing by locking my arm and that was really hurting my game.

  • @DamoMartin
    @DamoMartin 6 месяцев назад +1

    so I have to ask I assume theres barely any hand spin? it more the position of the hand?

  • @steadfasttinsoldier5228
    @steadfasttinsoldier5228 9 месяцев назад

    When i started cupping the ball to ensure my fingers were under the midline at release, my elbow bent naturally during my swing in order to support the weight of the ball. Been getting some beautiful ball motion. So maybe it's more of a wrist thing than an elbow thing?

    What weight do you recommend throwing? I bowled for years throwing a 16 pounder one handed no thumb but I'm getting back into it and I'm thinking about bowling with a thumb. I'm considering a 14 pound ball to get back into it

    I bought a 14lb ball and it seems way to heavy for me…I have a lot of muscle but it’s still too heavy. My fingers and my thumb start to hurt when I try to hook it. And I can’t release properly even when I’m doing it softly

    • @mikeward2922
      @mikeward2922 Месяц назад

      Same here. Storm Tropical Surge ball. I think I'm following this advice, but the ball goes straight. I am basically chucking it down the middle so two questions: is the 'house ball' oil pattern keeping it straighter than I am expecting, and should I be lining up more right as a right-hander?? I can't seem to hook it at all.

    The thumb nail is a joke cause that doesn't determine more or less hook vague for me I can throw a hook both ways but it's your speed and how and where you release your from the ball and are you breaking your wrist on release or not

  • @sonnychan123
    @sonnychan123 9 месяцев назад +1

    Unfortunately too much talking, not enough demonstrating. You talked all about hooking a bowling ball, barely showed any clips of the ball hooking. You even discussed 9:00 vs. 6:00 positions and NEVER Showed the difference! Lol

    What a terrible thumbnail, telling people to come over the top of the ball for more hook

    • @hankgolfer1
      @hankgolfer1 9 месяцев назад +22

      He is telling people in the video NOT to come over the top and the left thumbnail also does NOT show coming over the top. It is from a right-handed view on left thumbnail. Definitely NOT coming over the top. And the video shows what over the top looks like and NO way near what thumbnail shows. Go see an eye doctor to have your eyes checked out.
