  • You have a good release, good reaction on the ball. Your backswing has a lot of moving parts which could effect accuracy. If you could learn to limit excessive hand movement on your backswing your consistency will increase along with your scores. You're on the right path, just stay with it. Currently I'm averaging 233 with over 50 games this year so I'm not some no nothing bowler running his mouth. Go to "tcbowlers" and there's a few vids of me bowling.

  • @SONGkiDz4eVa13 haha, by the way. this guy knows what he's talking about, he coached me when i first started bowling, and im at a 192 average after 3 years.

  • i like how all the people commenting on this think there all pro and stuff. tryin to tell him what he does wrong even though they prolly suck too..... Smh...

  • So easy a caveman could do it.

  • ya i know serioiusly dont be mean about it, just tips.

  • it his style let him bowl like he wants

  • Your form is completely wrong. I used to bowl the same way as you, so I know. What you're doing is bringing your arm behind you during your backswing. You want to make a perfect half circle with your armswing and follow through perfectly straight. The hook comes from your hand position and the rotation of your fingers around the ball at the last second. Don't try to force a hook by swinging your arm out wide. Also bend your left knee during your sliding step so you can release the ball smoothly.

  • @SoccerBoi500 There is no right way or wrong way to bowl. People have their own style of bowling. If their able to maintain the style and it works for them then so be it. Trying to correct someones style because you think its wrong or bad will just make their bowling experience less fun and could really screw them up. It's all about being comfortable. If you're not comfortable with a style, you will not do good or have fun.

  • @Lugare2011 There definitely is a right and wrong way to bowl. Obviously there are several variations but good bowlers have mastered the fundamentals. Your comment is insanely idiotic. If there was no right or wrong way to bowl than pros wouldn't be pros.

  • @SoccerBoi500 Actually theres many different ways to throw a hook shot and thatsone way im 12 and i know this today was my first day hook shotting and i bowled 160+

  • @cameron99wizkhalifa I understand that, but I also understand he doesn't have the fundamentals down. When your arm goes behind your back, it causes you to overcompensate on the follow through and miss your mark more often than not. Yes, the ball will still hook because he's rotating his fingers, but if it misses the mark, then he won't get the strike.

  • @SoccerBoi500 if any bowler misses there mark they dont get a strike usually. that why you have a mark... to get strikes.. and your fingers cant rotate ahah!

  • @legaless24 Thank you Captain Obvious. And are you stupid? Your fingers start out underneath the ball, and end up on the side after you release it. What the hell would you call that?

  • @SoccerBoi500 holy shit calm down. maybe its called the followthrough? you said "but if he misses his mark, he wont get a strike". so the jokes on you, cause you said it. and everyone knows that haha

  • no foward roll

  • bowling the way he does actually works if you get down low enough and not drop it

  • Who bowls without the opposite hand to guide? is that a 3lb ball!??

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @legaless24 not sure if ur clowning or not. But preciate the recognition on the muzik tip.

  • @352BallaBoy probably not cuz a 3 lb ball wouldnt make a loud impact when he drops it. if it was 3 lbs it probably wouldve bounced or somethin

  • Jesus?

  • I think he gets low enough, it's just the slight adjustment at the end, he brings up his upper body.

  • @SimpleAz yeah true i agree

  • this guy fucking sucks

  • @wolfaxe ikr! isnt he supposed to get lower at the release point? and his arm is way too far off to the side before he throws it

  • @louisdiaz316 he wont throw a line consistently with a form like that...

  • Thats a very unconventional style but if you bowl well consistantly then don't listen to people that critisize. I would recommend getting lower on the release to keep the ball from pounding the lane.

  • You sir, dent the lanes like hell. Please stop dropping the ball

  • crosby sucks as usual.

  • damn he's putting dents in the lane

  • @GOOSESTEPIN1 And nice comment. I think I might delete my youtube account after reading that. Fuck man, you are just too hardcore for me. Great use of the word faggot too. I assume High School is still tough for you.

  • @GOOSESTEPIN1 Do you average 200 in a sport league using PBA patterns? Doubtful. Have you shot a 1000 for four games on a PBA condition league? Don't think so. And no I'm not upset. All I said was that there is no one perfect form and then because he decided to "get tough" and use fancy swear words, I decided to as well.

  • Amateur

  • ha ha cindy crosby cant bowl either

  • BAD!

  • not WINNING

  • yea hey im the dude that u said u hope that i tear my shoulder, well forget you my form is better and i could easily beat u at bowling, but not just bowling, anything. so yea i bolwed a 300 a week ago and im 13 by the way, so yea, thanks for the comment

  • hey, guess what... you fucking suck.

  • Jesus lives!!! And he is able to play bowling

  • Actually i like you form on the backup ball ,except for the bent elbow, better. You stand under and behind the ball more, and delay your release until the last moment. i would like to see you use that form when you roll your hook ball, using a straighter arm that is under the shoulder, with the inside of the elbow facing your target. I think this will save wear and tear on your arm and produce more accurate shots

  • Lol'd @ stacker in the background.

  • this is exactly why i hate house shots, people who bowl like this

  • Fix everything.

  • No. 87's thinking " Wish I could throw a hook like that and my folks would let me grow my hair out"

  • fuckin fags

  • the way i do it

    hurts my middle finger to shit

    but it it gets the job done

  • i bowl the same way. but the coaches say ill tear my shoulder, and when they tell me the right way to do it, i suck, so i bowl like i usually do becaause im beats at it

  • @zeroboy589520 i hope you tear your shoulder then

  • I have seen ppl bowl like that it's called suitcase hold but really if it works well then use it you seem to be doing just fine.

  • :22 lmao at the pacman machine in the background

  • You should have a better knee bend, it might hurt your knee once you misthrow it.

  • he looks like the geico caveman

  • wow look at all the people bowling ... NOT

  • It looks weird how you swing the ball behind your body (not straight like a pendulum) probably requiring more effort than necesarry, but it seems to work well for you.

    And to hit the 10, roll from left side with an open palm between the 3rd and fourth arrows (left of center and center arrow) - for a righty of course and presuming theres a weight in your ball

    For the seven just throw straight down the right rail with hook and it hits it everytime.

  • you are an amazing bowler!!! i bowl on a tuesday night league, and no matter what i do, i can never figure out the lanes. i took lesson for a while, which really helped, but my scores tend to go up and down...... any tips / ideas? ( i use a hookball too )

  • Hi. I am not sure if it is the camera or not, but it sounds like you are dropping the ball. My advice would be to use one about 2 or 3 pounds lighter if you are, if not, good day.

  • /watch?v=yUox_lELbwQ

  • when you throw it sort of looks like you are gonna sprain your wrist how you are turning your hand

  • they are right. I had a guy on my team that drop the ball 2 inches above the foul line. That year he had a 201 average.

  • how are you holding the ball in order to get the curve that youre getting?

  • i've still haven't seen anyone do tihs but me, but, does anyone here bowl with 2 different strike balls wit 2 different ways of throwing them? i have an Ebonite stirking motion which i use on the right lane and throw an outside hook shot, then i use a columbia 300 throttle on the left lane and throw and straight hook from the gutter. got a 245 doing that =P but got a 264 using one ball =D

  • caveman ftw

  • when you swing your arm you should try and keep it more at your side instead of behind your back, and if you bend you knee when you slide the ball will land more quietly.

  • wow that girl in the beginning is terrible. she should stick to sucking dicks. or making her man a sandwhich

  • dude i go here like every other day!!! i went to dc!

  • stop bowling u suck ass

  • One of the things that make this game so much fun is different styles. Like someone else posted if you strike why change your style. I think you may have a bit of a stuggle on a longer pattern but for a typical house shot SWEET. Oh and you may want to find a razor and some clippers...stat

  • i jus want to see someone else do this, i want u to throw 2 different strike bowls 2 different ways and see how high u can score my highest by doing that is 234

  • Thud!! Thud!!

  • you drop the ball like a noob. Release closer to the ground

  • Do You Think You Could Drop It Any Harder?

  • you shouldnt use 2 different weights i do it sometimes because i use to throw 16 and a couple of my brand new balls are 16 and i still throw em but i throw 15 mainley now and it will get to you sooner or later

  • so easy a caveman could do it

  • these guys are horrible....The cave man was good, but he's gonna break his arm one day...

  • cough HAIRCUT cough

  • you are both pulling the ball behind you to the left side of the vertical axis, try letting gravity pull your ball straight down along the axis

  • Watch how he moves in wrist behind him before he comes out in swings thats how he gets such a curve. It is hard to get the hook with hand straight at first. Hes also able to use momentum effectively like that. You will learn best by watching. Practicing the wrong way does not make perfect. You will learn more by watching and trying to memic then trying to just figure it out on your own.

  • Suit-casing the ball works for a little bit, but you will be coming around the ball and it will be an inconsistent rotation. You need to stay behind the ball and lift through. Let the weight block and drilling of the ball do the work. That way the movement will be consistent.

  • it takes pracice and courage to hook the bowling ball

  • Im new to bowling. I love it, but I have been having the darnest time trying to throw the hook.

  • looks like oak hill lanes

  • crowsby sucks haha lol.

  • thats because "crowsby" is a hockey player

  • you hear that sound it makes when you throw it? of course lol, but i would bend your knees more at the point of release to reduce your loft. but whatever works is fine. and what every one else said; don't take it behind you like that.

  • Crosby sucks at bowling

  • the guy in red has better form than that

  • only thing i liked about this vid was the dude in red LOL

  • Heres my advice: Start just a little more right, throw a slightly more gentle hook, and keep that backswing from going all over behind your butt.. The sharp angles magnify any mistakes. Keep a straighter line from apex of backswing to release. Thats my advice.. Good job!! I think my advice might help with consistency, but I'm no expert.. Just what I see.

  • so easy a cave man can do it...lol

  • took the words right out my mouth lol

  • Comment removed

  • you have the same problem i had.. on your backswing your pulling it behind you rather than straight back.. it makes us very inaccurate.. ive been trying to fix it and ive almost done it completely

  • with slow motion, this can help?!?!

  • start with getting down in your shot and get a better backswing. your follow through isnt bad but those are really the only 2 things that seem to stand out to me

  • god u have sooo many mistakes

  • @luarpe yuu can go to hell

  • People need to stop hating on the long hair, it looks fine. Just because your all a bunch of old nerds who have the same generic haircut doesn't mean you should hate on somebody for letting it grow out.

    Liked the music playing in the background, all my bowling alley plays is rap and hip hop.

  • Ehhn.  Not very graceful.

    Whatever works, I suppose.

  • What was the oil pattern

  • poor kid in the red shirt probably felt like a failure the whole time.....

  • worst form at all time : "PanicInTheUtopia" and "DoubleGutter".

  • you bowl very well for someone with no backswing :D

  • Bad-ass. You rule.

    Don't mind people talking shit here. They are probably Nintendo Wii Bowling experts.

  • u ass turning the ball works way better than bowling straight once i learned how to curve it i got way higher scores

  • me personally I bowl the old fashion way I am 17 and I watch and learn from the old guys, Norm Duke, Mark Roth, Dick Weber, Carmen Salvino, I keep my arm straight and my whole body stay lined up with my shoulders, and I have a little bit of a tilt to the right but thats just my thing, I hate kids my age that spot bowl and do this big spins, theres nothing wrong about spot bowling just do it the right way

  • ur throw have planty of mistake

    first of allll dont throw the ball!!! just roll it!

    first ur ball turning on the fingers thats bad thats mean u didnt relsed the ball properly

    and u a bet runing on the track

  • @WarOfHell

    first of all, learn to speak English. second of all, he's grabbing the ball, which is why he's lofting it. nothing wrong with loft, but when you're grabbing it to do so you have a problem.

    third, turning the ball is NOT bad. it's called side roll for a reason, it creates just that - SIDE ROLL, which increases carry for most bowlers due to increased entry angle. there's nothing "bad" or "improper" about turning the ball. learn what the fuck you're talking about or shut up.

  • I self taught myself aswell, been bowling for 2 years my average is 221. I just turned 20. wish I would have started earlier

  • never knew crosby bowled...hmm.....JK.LOL

  • I MORE THAN LIKE THE CROSBY SHIRT

  • i like the crosby shirt haha

  • With that kind of hook id like a video on here where he picks up the ten pin. The way he rolls does not look like he would be very accurate when having to roll straight or with little hook.

  • I shoot a back-up ball for the 10 pin. Reverse hook with a Hammer Hawg Wild.

  • @PanicInTheUtopia and that makes you a fucking fag, throw at a ten pin straight like a normal fucking person. fucking pussys who backup at ten pins. throw on anything besides a house shot and watch how bad you fucking blow and cant get a 10 pin that way. fuck you. learn to fucking bowl

  • @allstarr9tc lol u mad bro?

    Put up a video of you bowling. Otherwise, shut your mouth. There's no "correct" form. Everyone bowls different. So what if he throws back-ups at 10 pins? Not like it affects you in anyway shape or form. Why don't you go back to you 38' 10-unit of oil House Shot pattern and shut up.

    Before you open your mouth back I average 200 in a PBA Sport league. I can back up my shit. So think of something witty and then get back to me.

  • 1. push off with the ball in tandem with your first step and 2. try to get lower to the lane on your release... 3. the way you are bringing your shoulder behind your back like that you will have major joint problems in time... theres some good videos showing proper form on youtube.. have a look mate. and your game will be more consistent or try to find a coach and take even one hour lesson and you will find out lots of things about your game :)

    keep it up and good luck :)

  • get a haircut u damn bowler

  • haircut and crosby is a pansy

  • I tought my self how to bowl 2 but it dnt use my thumb i throw a biiiigggg hook get 9 or 10 almost every time

  • That's pretty good for being self taught

  • Shawnee Lanes  Chillicothe, OH?

  • 1:13

    how did u do that? is it spin?

  • its a backup ball, you just rotate your hand the other way

  • yeah, it's a reverse hook back-up shot. It hooks like a lefty's release

  • 0:44

    LMAO!

  • Can't you learn to play bowling?

  • Wieght?

  • ranging from 14 to 16

  • @PanicInTheUtopia Do you use the holes?

  • i laughed at the crosby kid at 0:44 lol

  • your shoulders should be straight, don't drop the shoulder, and yea, dont yank up, and dont walk so fast, take your time and you will be way way more consistant.

  • dude it dosent matter if you drop your shoulder or not any more mabe ten years ago but not now

  • yeah it does. its going 2 affect your spin on the bowl when u drop your shoulder.

  • If you think dropping your should dosnt change anything you dont know much about a good bowling form. And it matters more now than it did 10 years ago btw.

  • As long as he's putting lots of X's on the scoreboard, who cares what his form looks like?

  • yeah your right about that but when your trying 2 hook your bowl like that u can either mess up your shoulder or risk, i seen it happen be4 when a guy was bowling beside and he was trying 2 hook his ball like me. i use 3 fingers but the douche was using 2. thats 4 amatures. lol

  • dont pop up at the release. dont pull the ball behind your back. bend your left knee deeper and keep your elbow tucked in. among a million other things.

  • yeah that is horrible form.....

  • wats ur average ?

  • 202

  • reminds me of that disney movie called " the shaggy dog" with tim allen

  • All time worst form i have ever seen. absolutley the worst form ever. terrible bowler.  idk even know what else to say. just bad form bad kid.

  • hes gettin them down isnt he? a few times i only saw like one pin up. so it works for him.

  • awesome style I wanna try it next week at league

  • so easy a caveman can do it. :P

  • so easy a caveman can do it.............hahahahahahahah­ahaha

  • mine is kinda like that but a little more to the left

  • where is this at what city?

  • Douglasville

  • Crosby rocks!

  • nice shots

  • Geez, and I thought the caveman was a commercial for Geico.

  • i like how your getting pin action. but your putting alot of effort hooking your ball. it hits great pocket pentration. your going 2 hurt your risk while doing that man. whats your average. mine is 210

  • 202

  • Comment removed

  • 1:16 the song sounds familiar

  • Thats Even Flow by Pearl Jam

  • Pearl Jam - Even Flow... that alley plays a lot better music than the ones around here...

  • That wrist bend is pretty fucked up....good luck bowling.

  • UR ENTERING A WORLD OF PAIN!!! lol

  • so easy, a caveman can do it.

  • OVER THE LINE!!!!!!

  • i just throw the ball when i do it i pretend im turning a door knob and i focus on my mark i dont bowl great once a week in a league for fun my avg is 140 i dont practice or anything just dicking around

  • That 4 pin1

  • let me be myself......so easy a caveman can do it!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • This is not bolwing, it's throwing the ball.

  • While in your stance, try keeping the ball a little closer to your side not your gut. The swing should be more like a pendulum; dont try to muscle the ball so much. Slow down on the approach, and try not to look so pissed off. Bowling should be fun! Knee bend is a good thing, try it! At 1:12, the backup ball, interesting!

  • yeah, this video is actually quite old. the backup ball has been perfected and smoothed out... I use it for all of my 10 pin shots.

  • how many fingers needed?

  • 3 for normal shot. 2 for back-up ball, and I sweep under it.
