    I don't know how I haven't seen this video until now. It's one of the best bowling videos I've ever seen and a magnificent analysis of the modern bowling style. And the musical accompaniment is absolutely perfect! Thank you, Dean, for this extraordinary production and contribution to bowling instruction!

    Honestly I despise the changes the modern equipment has forced on us. When I was a kid in the fifties the best bowlers took a LOW backswing and played a full roller down the line and in. Now I'm in my seventies and no way I'm going to break my arm trying to crank it like these guys. HOWEVER I'll give you this. Great analysis. No talk. Just watch. I'm very impressed by the sequences on balance at the line. Best instructional video I've ever seen.

    • @marbleman52
      @marbleman52 6 лет назад +2

      Johnny....I was born in 1952 so I'm not too far behind you..LOL.! I started bowling in 4th or 5th grade...and I and a few of my male friends were almost always on a league. We lived in a small farming town so we had just a small bowling alley...maybe 10 lanes..?? I sure had a lot of fun. We didn't have any fancy or 'scientific' ball handling techniques; I bowled mostly a straight ball and I think that my friends did too. but I was a pretty good bowler and I worked up to about a 140 average...not bad for an untrained elementary kid. Our little team even went to State finals one year...that was fun. I was always good at picking up spares...not all of them but most. We had to keep our own scores....good math practice..Ha..! I remember when I finally got my own ball & shoes...boy was I proud of that...made bowling a lot easier. I hadn't bowled in very many years, but recently I took my 11 yr. "young" Grand-Daughter bowling. Wow...my worn out lower back really hurt and was very stiff as I swung the ball...hadn't expected that...made me realize that I wasn't young & healthy like I used to be. I hope that you can enjoy your bowling...lots of happy memories for me.

    Great video! Although I'm from the old school it's always interesting to see how the power is generated this day and age. Brian Voss, David Ozio, and to be honest some of the women pros are the ones that I look at. These people suit my game the most.

      rr2418 Won pro am with Brian Voss as a kid. 😎 Ironically it was long distance but I was at his home house, Don Carter's Boca Raton. I agree about the ladies. Though Pete Weber is a damn legend, his delivery is not nearly as pretty as Kelly Kulick. New bowlers should try and look like her. Its easy to duplicate proper fundamentals. 😎

    This was eye opening. Especially when they said that pros generate power with their elbows out then snapping them straight. That was shocking and I need to try this. I have had a problem with my elbow outside for a while trying to get it in. Time to experiment!

  • @randy1817
    @randy1817 9 дней назад

    Really great video. The analysis is spot on.. I have arthritis in my right foot. I'm right handed. The problem is my foot is partially fused. My foot can't bend back to front or side to side the whole way. So I'm unable to get as low as I need to. If I try to get lower on my pivot step and not stand up at the approach it really hurts. So, I'm not able to stay low. I can see here that I'm nowhere close to a good finish. Oh well, I'll keep trying to find the best way to bowl.. It's not an excuse, just the way it is.. You can only bowl the way your body lets you.. So I think the best thing for me is to concentrate on having a better release. I'll try to use this vid as a lesson.

  • @DeedsResearcher
    @DeedsResearcher 8 лет назад +13

    As a former member of the PBA going back to the 1980s, I cannot say that I endorse the 2-handed method, and would never attempt to teach it to any new bowler. While it is totally legal (as far as I can see!) I believe that with more hands involved it brings into play the possibility of more errors being made by the bowler. And with the notion of both feet leaving the ground, it can bring into question the issue of having a good, balanced, stable delivery.The very hallmark of Earl Anthony's delivery was that it was simple, consistent, and he was always in perfect balance at the foul line. He managed to keep the ball in play under all lane conditions, and was seldom known to make a truly "bad" shot under pressure.

    • @Jeon1958able
      @Jeon1958able 8 лет назад +1

      DeedsResearcher Well, it's not for everyone I guess. If you're doing good with either of the techniques, I personally don't think there's a need to change it.

    • @DeedsResearcher
      @DeedsResearcher 8 лет назад

      Generally speaking, I would agree with that notion. There are some (very few!) bowlers who "pin bowl", that is, they look directly at the pins during their delivery, instead of using the spots on the floor. Clearly, spot bowling gives a bowler a chance to be more consistent than does pin bowling...which relies on "dead reckoning", as such. So if a person is satisfied with bowling 160s and 170s, fine. But if he or she wants to improve upon that, then it may be time to give "spot bowling" an honest try. Obviously, it is easier to throw a basketball into a hoop from 15 feet than it is to try from mid-court. The same applies to spot-bowling versus pin bowling.
      I just don't like the so-called 2-handed "delivery. It looks more like the person is flinging the ball down the lane, rather than bowling. Perhaps that's the real beauty of the delivery of Earl Anthony: nothing fancy, no wild swinging of the arms, always in balance at the line...and always delivering one good ball after another.

    • @manuelf2984
      @manuelf2984 8 лет назад +3

      DeedsResearcher Like most individual sports, whatever suits the bowler whether traditional or two handed doesnt matter. Ive tried bowling two handed for the 1st time and it wasnt easy as I did when I 1st picked up bowling using traditional way. So I guess the 2 handers made the game a bit more interesting and watching Belmonte wins so much, his style deserve a 2nd look.

    • @stilltlrforlife
      @stilltlrforlife 8 лет назад +4

      DeedsResearcher I have to disagree, if you do something a certian way from the beginning, it can be perfected.

    • @CurtisL8.3066
      @CurtisL8.3066 6 лет назад +1

      DeedsResearcher the very best two handers are impossible to beat when the lane conditions favor them.... they get carry, power, and angle that us mere mortals just can’t match.

    @ebocortex 6 лет назад

    Wow I have learned more now and i can implement some of these into my bowling game. I never knew bowlers did not have a straight line step when winding up upon release. They also swing the ball very high on their approach which if those are anything over 14 pounds than that is impressive. I might have to follow these and change one thing at a time. The only other thing is learning where you want your ball to be at release and where it needs to end up mid-lane prior to the ball breaking to strike. I know it all differs on the types of balls you use which would get complicated with all the layouts you can have on a given ball. This part is complicated and probably takes lots of practice to get to where you can just run up and strike at any given opportunity.

    I noticed that every bowler here uses a twisting motion on their down swing, but I do not recall you mentioning that anywhere, or how that is advantageous to keeping the ball at the side of the hand on the down swing. Personally, I would think that it would give the ball more of a top-like rotation, but that obviously isn't the case here.

    • @CurtisL8.3066
      @CurtisL8.3066 6 лет назад +1

      Ethan Zeigler just visualize pointing your elbow roughly at your body In your backswing. Upon release, it’s a quick cup and break motion plus the straightening of the elbow that gives that violent power or tween release you see on most of the top modern bowlers. I’m a power stroker, I can’t do it with any consistency, but that’s kinda how you do it. They have some videos on you tube explaining it

    • @CurtisL8.3066
      @CurtisL8.3066 5 лет назад

      You can loft the ball when the oil has dried up on the fronts of the lane. Loft can be used to skip over the lack of oil and get down the lane more. It effectively starts the skid/hook/roll phase of the ball a few feet further down the lane. What do you mean laying the ball down? It’s hard to tell with just one sentence, but you may be ‘standing up’ or not finishing with a bent knee at the foul line. That will certainly make you loft it. Hope this helps and I’m sorry no one answered you until now

    Dean, I used to have an open, high back swing and cock and uncock in my younger days but I would spin the ball in error too often. Switched to a lower back swing and mild cup to stay behind and under ball but I find that I am loosing accuracy when I uncup. Are there any successful pros that don't cup and uncup as much or is it a must to generate revs. I have a small hand and wrist so rev generation has always been a challenge. Love the videos.

    • @deanchamp
      @deanchamp  8 лет назад +3

      It is important to keep a loose armswing, with a straight swing plane, as using muscle can override the gravity influenced ball path. Timing is a big factor in this too. Being a matched bowler (speed and revs) is more imporant than high revs. 300 rpm is matched with 17mph, 250rpm with 16 mph etc. - measured off the hand.

    Even though I'm trying to glean what I need as a straight (non-hook) bowler from your videos (and not coming up with much, save that my backswing is way too shallow), your videos are invaluable for general technique. (Where does a non-hook bowler find advice on release and follow-through, anyway?)

      Bro learn to hook it, you’re never gonna score if you don’t

    Well, I learned that my starting position isn't common amongst pros. I don't use my thumb, and start with my right arm perfectly straight, with the ball down practically resting on my thigh and my left hand resting on top of the ball. I've really only been bowling for about 9 months but I'm getting pretty good. I strike more often than not, but my spare game is really inconsistent. I don't have a spare ball, so I have to use an alley ball. My best so far is a 257, 7/ first frame (it was my first game of the day) then struck all the way to the 10th and opened :( super let down.

    Walter Ray has been conspicuously missing from your videos. I know he has a strange technique but it would have been interesting to analyse what made him so good. Anyway thanks for sharing!

      It's nothing against Walter Ray, purely the lack of suitable footage.

      Dean Champ LOL. Lack of suitable footage? Besides WRW’s game is not modern.

    The two chapters about generating power are referred only to upper and elite level. No one has ever taught me how to do about this. IMHO

    I have a problem I suitcase the ball and don't get enough revs on the ball and it slams on the floor then goes right into the gutter.
