Bowling Basics : How to Throw a Bowling Ball

[ThEG933]

The awkward moment when u download the advertisement instead of the video.

[UnpaBGD]

Killer!

[undocumentedspot]

I don't want to throw my ball.

[RaPiiiDxShoTz]

@CommanderCooper Hey doesn't tell you how at all.. This should be a look and try to repeat this motion video. And not everybody will have the revs, speed, and hook he does.

[runekey]

How is this a "how to?"

[CommanderCooper]

@runekey Umm... Because he tells you "how to" throw a bowling ball?

[MrSufyan01]

nice strike....



[DotASnIpeRtiN]

Ok..

"takes wii controller and tries to do it"

[nashmicaell]

nice shot :)

[kubotaman85]

so many  videos why not combine some of them together instead of seperate ones?

[juvmol]

thumbs up tks for the advise

[MyShaifuddin]

the morning and i go to play bowling in station bowling in i got to score is...72.96.144.156.and 206

[MyShaifuddin]

Awesome.U great the bowling ball becauce your balance hand arm to be the goal mean to the leg balance until the hand balance to the strike bowl to fun to the back hand right to swing and throw the bowling ball with the strike.

[scarryassclown]

@MyShaifuddin Huh????

[breezyjr]

I think he just wanted to show all how fast he can throw it.... I didn't learn a gosh darn thing....

[humberto300]

Your timing is late.

[RiaConFette]

This was not a very good explanation for beginners....

To all beginning bowlers: find someone at the alley who can help you.

He doesn't even tell you that you need to bend forward at the hips... most beginners wont be sliding like he does because they will freak out at it. plus there can be a three, four and five step approach (I even know people who have a seven step approach).

A how-to-approach-the-lanes-and-­throw-the-ball video shouldn't have only taken a minute and a half to explain :'(

[FT6]

great speed .

[ZicoCirola]

So its one big process.... k

I didnt learn anything

[MageDagger]

My score yesterday bowling with friends

0-0-1-1-2-8-9-10-17- 22

Others final score - 76

Fml.

[darkmidnightvelvet]

WII is way more easier! lulz.

[crazyflower22able]

Its so hard before yesterday i almost cried !!!!!

[jnashification]

Holy shit he put some power behind that ball.

[MurderousPandas]

I never understood it, how do we throw it? I only got to roll my ball, i want to throw it though, this title isn't what i thought the video would be about.

[TheSaTsero]

sounds like v12

[TenaciousTO]

His reaction after a strike: 1:15

My reaction after a strike: OMGOMGWTFWTFOMGOMG

[Raider5k]

i wonder how many takes this took

[iancorporated]

Not great. That didn't teach me anything.

[ThaUnprofessional]

wow....he's good

[broccolli93244]

really? did he say square his hips to the lane? he opened his hips at 1:14

[tylerstudly12]

lol listen at 1:06

[SinProducti0ns]

0:01

[sunswin532]

i like how there are more likes on the highest rated comment than the actual video

[LadyTyger51ne]

I'm trying to get better at bowling. My best game ever was a 134

[braves745]

@LadyTyger51ne thats the spirit well im trying to and its my first year in bowling and im 13 and my best is 208

[Str8vAtO]

I like turdlez

[snakeinthegrass20]

I bowled 17 strikes in one game one, is that good ? I'm 8 months old

[5StarsForYouu]

@snakeinthegrass20 that's very good son .. *takes away wii remote*

[pbtech23]

for one. this guy throws as a stroker. he should learn how to put some hand into the ball and get it across the lane.

[Barraka125]

i just love from 1:09 to 1:11 he exhales really loud. At first i thought he let out one of those old grandpa farts!! xD

[Jerrycobra]

i am kinda confused

[mlim23]

That guy has a pretty high ball speed>.>

[BuzzBombBmx]

How to bowl a ball;

1. Stand up straight

2. Look at your line.

3. As you begin to take your approch steps swing your arm back smoothly.

4. on your final step bring your arm fowards towards the lane and let it go.

5. Think to yourself how much better you are then the guy in this video.

[NCTurbulence]

Nice one a Good demonstration, thats exactly the same way i do it too works almost everytime :p

[DarthVaportech]

Thank you, your instruction is excellent, I am going to put your suggestions to use and try and copy your form. I strongly advise anyone wanting to learn how to bowl to subscribe.

[vr6hondaeatervr6]

Fatass

[amoacolombia7]

OMG AT THE MINUTE 1:06 I HEAR A ORGASM LOL!!!!!!!!

[princessveropr]

@amoacolombia7 hahahahahahah ! i did ! but you bad thinker ! :p hahahahha !

[stylust89]

AND WTF all those bowling video covered by the stupix text.. must be a nerd post it.. F!

[mtoasty]

SO what good is it to have a video that you can't see because of the captions?

[Luicarry]

@mtoasty well you can turn off them if you dont want them...

[jayrush25]

" a good follow thru and everything" ....This just sums up how stupid this guy is! And that was a bad shot....Hit High!

[WhostonSaxetGirl]

Chabam! Thanks for the tips :D

[jaspern89]

This isnt a movie, so shut up dumbass..

[Bakri13]

maybe he is fat but he can break your neck with one hand

[emoxbioch]

This is the most WIN tutorial ever...he striked!!!! YES!!!

[MrHumerousify]

does any1 know how to skip roping while you bowl?

[navylaks2]

how do you throw if you have cross dominant eyes, i throw with right arm but i see best with my left eye, so i usely can't see that well before the ball is pretty far away

[tickleme1980]

Is bowling one of those rare sports where being a bit chunky is of benefit?

[bhasadbakar]

how do we choose a ball..lighter or heavier..

[Texasreblecowboy]

nothins to light to where u throw it too fast, but not to heavy to where u really cant hold it through the back swing...some people will say 10% ur body weight, but i dont agree, i bowl with a 15 lb ball and i weigh less than 150 lbs...its just about how it feels in ur hands, in the back swing and trough the release

[acdclover013]

true, i'm 14, and use a 14lb. ball, but i weigh 80lbs

[Texasreblecowboy]

well what i said was for starters bowling for the first few times....i know alot of the kids that bowl in the youth league that i was in, were throwing 14-16 lbs and they were about ur age...its just a weight u can control all the way through ur back swing into ur release, thats all that really matters

[FaceMeetsBullet]

@acdclover013 Thats really light for a 14 year old

[andy55055]

@Texasreblecowboy

10% your body weight? how ridiculous. i'm a footballer and weigh 230 pounds. i should use a 23 pound ball should i?

[vidsofdispute]

hey guys i got a new ball and its 13 pounds and its like kinda hevey so it messes me up does anybody know a way to get use to holding it so it seems lighter or what i should do to make it feel lighter and i can control it

[Texasreblecowboy]

theres really no weigh to make it feel lighter..i went from a 12 lb to a 15 lb ball..when i first started i couldnt even bring the 15 lb ball very far in my back swing, but after throwing it for about a month, ur arm will build the muscle and it will become easier to control bc u will be able to hold it just like u would now if u went down in weight....i hope this helps

[theoblesk]

when he said " how to throw your ball "

first thing i thought was " i dont want to throw my ball stupid "

[SecondOpinionMan]

I like Fat Cats, but they're a little too far for me.

[kent630]

um, wasn't really that helpful. personally, I take 5 steps in my throw. on my 3rd and 4th strides, i swing my arm back, and on 5, i throw. pay attn to how you release too - make it consistent, and you can adjust your aim by where you stand. good luck!

[slitherqueen]

great tips - thanks for posting!

[jenemiv]

thank youu :)

[pokerfacer17]

Nice vid dude thanks for the tips

[shadowshp29]

wtf are u ppl talking about this guy is teaching u how to bowl and ur commenting his weight, I mean wtf? ppl on youtube are getting stupider and stupider

[killkraver87]

@shadowshp29 haha tell me about it! i mean "stupider" isnt even a word! haha, can you believe some people???

[shadowshp29]

@killkraver87 haha, if you look in a dictionary you'll find stupider. Can you belive that? it's and adjective, check it out

[pangit22]

@shadowshp29 stupider is not a word. You can use more stupid or dumber.

[billy1999fans]

@shadowshp29 yep you now what i mean some people are very kind and some are like f*****s

[CoolEditz]

@shadowshp29 I think the terminology would be "dumber and dumber".

[shadowshp29]

@CoolEditz sry, english is my second language so I miss things here and there

[121mj]

@CoolEditz - there is no reason someone cannot say stupider and stupider - if you haven't noticed, people don't really follow grammar, punctuation and other language rules well on internet comment boards ... like, for instance, putting a period outside quotes; if you want to get really picky about it, dumb means you cannot talk, it does not mean stupid

[braves745]

@shadowshp29 well actually he is really not teaching you how to bowl hes actually hooking the ball in the video

[gamegeekx]

@shadowshp29 I honestly think he looks more bulk and big rather than fat

[rudhrakha]

@gamegeekx ya..he is not fat. he is stout.

[Fantasir96]

fat man hahah, when he stands on the weight so it says his mobile number

[dkj1999]

why are you saying bad things about him, he is a very good bowler

[CusterFlux]

Dude, this is BOWLING! The more they look like Fred Flintstone, the better.

[wickedfan5172]

Honestly I agree with him. Fat people sweat easier and smell worse.

[CusterFlux]

More surface area I suppose ;)

[Goldiney]

And children who post moronic comments on Youtube are a testament to how pathetically horrible their parents failed in raising them.

[Blakebabiixx]

very true, guess they got nothing better to do because there parents dont care.

[bygmyketv]

Oh yea your fat ass mom sweats a lot when I'm fukin dat a55 good..lmao

[wickedfan5172]

My mother is dead asshole.

[wickedfan5172]

riiiight

[Rabidteddybear02]

not 12345 just 1 lmao

[DOitTOtheCROWD]

It's easy if you're built like a gorilla, like this guy.

[bygmyketv]

or like your mother...

[TheRedPanicButton]

THAT WAS A SHOT xD

THE POWER AND CURL ON THAT WAS UNBALIVABLE

[steakabuser]

what a terrible video. theres nothing instructional about it. expertvillage needs to actually look at these before they post.

[pizzle7]

hahahahaha yeah when i saw this i was like oh boy this guy is awful. Dont claim your gonna teach a sport just because you're good at it.

[piepersongg]

I've bowled there before (it was my first time) WOW!

[zairaluver]

how was it??

[GYM69UAE]

ok but how we throw the ball?

u told us wat to do before we throw not how to xD

[seanryanmcelligott]

you need to learn how to talk faster.

[DirtBiker2923]

push alt + f4 to change color of font!!!!!!

[eddieramone2]

i believe its ctrl + w

[DirtBiker2923]

yea thats rite too ha

[Laszlo12]

1:16

The ball has an effect ;o

holy shit!

this guy owns

[n0tcreatLve]

EXCUSEEEEEEEEE ME

ANYONEEE..

so i love bowling.

but the thing is... i only like to use like a 2lb or lower ball, because those are the only ones i can curve... anyone have any suggestions.,... the ball isnt heavy so it doesnt knock down as many, as when i use a bigger ball....

touch question.

i juist need some help

[doughnutfingers]

TWO POUND! No wonder you're not knocking down pins. Use a heavier ball and adjust to the strait ball. Just because the curve ball is used by the pros doesn't make it the greatest shot. You will knock down more pins, trust me.

[yuikmnbhj2]

a curve just isnt worth it. if a baby jumps on you or a 200lb man, the man will knock you down harder. aim for the center arrow and work on a straight shot untill you can curve again. then go up again. i went from 8-10-12-14lbs

[seahawkgirl9137]

when you pull your ball back when its behind your back your twisting your wrist

[n0tcreatLve]

:( you gotta forget about our seahawks...

and focus on our sounders.

[seahawkgirl9137]

what? i dont really care about the bird seahawks seahawks is our mascot?

[Ununoctium1337]

The point of the approach is to increase the size of each step, this guy is just walking randomly.

[dcs1882]

Ununoctium, not everyone approaches the same way. The approach is all about timing. As long as you've got some forward momentum, you're on balance, and your hips/shoulders are square when you throw, taking a few baby steps for timing is perfectly fine.

[afroofra]

You're an awesome bowler BUT your approach isn't really fluid. I bet you have like a 210+ average but still throw the occasional sub 500 series. Still awesome though :D Wish I had that power.

[racaroc]

Jim,

Go get a beer and let somebody else teach bowling. No one can understand what you are trying to teach.

[garioner]

would be cool if everyone that is so dismissive of other videos have the capability to put up their own instructional vids.

[racaroc]

There are a lot of other bowling videos out there that are better than this guys crappy video. Nothing personal, Jim. I'd like to join you for that beer.

[exred]

This isnt a good coaching clip. The guy is not clear about what he's trying to get across. I'm a novice bowler and I'll be sticking with the Fred Borden and Jeri Edwards videos elsewhere on Youtube. Those guys are much more concise.

[MATTSTELA]

he makes no sense

[ciscoaldama]

you a good bowler but a horrible teacher dude! lol

[leorippe]

YEAH !!! now i can look cool at the bowling alley and pick up all the chicks !!!

[Kev0n05]

ya know!

[JacobAndrewCastro]

Very good job dude. I love your style of bowling I will try some of that.

[kf8295]

I know he means well, but there are some people who just don't "do well" on camera.

[vutnukka]

amen

[121mj]

@kf8295 - he did just fine - no reason to criticize

[DeR02]

nice fuckin shot.

[anmed]

ghey...learn how to speak in complete sentences

[gostflame380]

thanks again!~~
