Keys to a Good Release

[AdenR8]

i agree im a 215 ave bowler and i still love watching these videos

[FloridaRaider]

I"m a complete beginner. I didn't know you only move the fingers 2 inches to hook the ball. Thanks for the tip.

[xxdemonshitxx]

This is the best release video, by far. It's all so clear now. This will definitely help me with the hook.

[DontHateAppricate]

I have bowling tryouts for my high school team monday and tuesday and ima b a sophmore im scared xP lol i made varsity freshman year but the incoming freshman now are really good haha i gotta get my knowledge up xD wish me luck

[whatever4348]

Dont rotate your fingers. The money shot as he calls it wont give you much back end in an oily condition, and its just a lazy shot. Cuff your wrist get under the ball. I never rotate my rist. Im sorry but that bad advice, can cause injury and tugging of the ball.

[T00MuchL4g]

Don't turn your hand.

[masteircheef]

@T00MuchL4g helped me o.0

[cbethea48]

The money shot works for me. My avg is about 175-180. I like this release because it is simple and it goes with my stroker style. I think some would say the drawback is that I track over my finger and thumbs holes a lot, though.

[s1l3nth4rb1ng3r]

This is what I was looking for, thanks!

[MrPs103]

@davidhindu not all expert village videos are bad. haven't seen all bowling videos so i can't speak for those, but the ones for auto repair are excellent.

[kblackmer100]

I like a lot of the videos you guys put up, this is really great for a lot of bowlers at any average. If you get a chance can you watch a couple videos of my channel and let me know what you guys think I should work on? its kblackmer100 is my channel. thank you much.

[veralau93]

cant wait to get back on the lanes and follow this tips :) thanku :) and i hopes it upzzz my score.

[darnizy]

Worked with this man first hand. Fantastic bowler and coach!!! And yes the shots were perfecto

[nallepuh6969]

@WarOfHell He doesn't want to make us loose hope with his perfect shots.

[jesseleikermusic]

@electraglider01 lol.  Nice.

[harryPoterOnSteroids]

i just watched this to help my friends get better.

[thecoolkidtrinity]

@WarOfHell did you type exampie ..

[tiatrips]

Is it bad that I'm at 16 mph and 520 RPM and still learning things about release?

[Icepaxx]

@tiatrips its never a bad time to learn in sports. you can always get better. I work at a bowling alley and I love sitting in with the kids on our saturday morning league and listening to the wisdom of the coaches on the beginner stuff; it can be very helpful.

[DJXRyde]

@tiatrips I dunno...is 16 mph good for you? lmao. I throw like 21 average, with no hook tho. Trying to hook has got me messed up...I'd rather just toss it fast n straight. LMAO

And about this video...the title - is epic. LMAO.

[tiatrips]

@DJXRyde I'm at 16 mph, rounded down. I usually have to throw it around that speed for the purpose of getting it down the lane. But I have a natural hook so I use that to my advantage.

[clinic12balla]

ive been practicing alot and ive got the three finger spin down i just hold my hand on the side of the ball and my game has improved alot...

[zam626]

the title is misleading. i click on this video and BOWLING comes up. wth!

[clinic12balla]

Im a two fingered bowler and i have a hammer vibe, and im trying to learn how to throw it with three fingers... but its not working ..

[JCHONDA2NR]

my brother is the same way, he learned how to bowl with no thumb and its hard for him to adapt to another throwing technique....so i guess your not alone

[davbok]

@clinic12balla yea, im the same way, but i never knew you were supposed to release the thumb lol...ill def give that a try and see how it works out!!

[jerseyman1000]

when i bowl i only put my 2 fingers in, not my thumb...is this bad..can any one please give me some advice i really want to become good at this sport.i realy enjoy it.thanks.

[misturdummie]

using two fingers would mean you're a two handed bowler, in replacement of the thumb, you would use the opposite hand to hold the ball in place until you release, and follow through, if you do not use a second hand to hold it, your ball would typically be loose and move around allowing an inconsistent throw

[kenny1026]

@jerseyman1000

try to put 3 fingers then.

just like you, i only put 2 fingers before,

but later i change it to 3.

it becomes more stable.

try it ^^

[10929678539]

Yes, two fingers is not an accurate throw. I used two bowl with fingers just because it was easier to hook the ball, but three fingers works the best. Be sure to use the arrows. :D

[dochayes1]

i used to do the same thing with a 13lbs ball and i hated it. about a month ago i finally decided to try putting my thumb in. it started bad but i had to find out how to hold the ball during the swing. i kind of curl my wrist a little bit when i hold it now. I now use a 16 pound ball and my average went up from 120 to 175 like that. im no coach by any means, just telling you what i did in that situation. just try out new things with a couple of games. its all going to feel weird at first

[itshimkevinkim]

i had the same problem all you gotta do is get used to actually using all your fingers practice throwing it straight and them throw in the turn its all about practice

[Scotchtapeeater]

this is the best guy to learn from!

[pupousek]

I like it. Thanks for the video.

[KB24ts6]

the pressure on the pointer finger is a great tip! if i get less revs, i just remember that. cause usually my wrist...thbbtbtbbt

[cholebear1994]

they usually don't shoot because coaches usually don't bowl. the best coach is one who doesn't bowl so he can help all styles instead of teaching their style.

[navysaxplayer]

This is sometimes true. In this case it's not. This man is Fred Bordon, pretty dang good bowler still and probably the best coach in the game. Who else would you get to coach Team USA. ; ) Yes, Team USA.

[CThockey9]

mad hook on spareball

[gojerr]

i like this

[raegunkiller]

hey ive just started bowling again and loving it, i do need loads of help though... §

[system0Fhonor]

I hit strikes with stright release I never a hook shot untill now :p

[adelserone]

I aint the greatest bowler in the world here.... and i would like to use these coaching lessons and stuff but i can't because for one, (this video tells us to rotate the fingers) HA! for beginners.... theres no bowling coaching video that can save my life. lol i have about a 500+ rev rate, so this vid doesnt help me all that well.

[randxbowl]

SPARE BALL

[mediumsteve]

you do not have a 500 rev rate

[jimmsr]

yea mediumsteve is right,, no way a beginning bowler has over 500 revs..

That means you're rober smith or tommy jones...

You probably have 350 at most...

[upliftmofo00]

Rotating the fingers is for beginners? How do you generate rotation on the ball without rotating your wrist or fingers before the follow-through?

[iBrettowski]

timing is a huge part...

[voodoo996]

This is the most helpful bowling channel I've seen on you tube. Much better than the expert village stuff. This helped a lot. Thank you.

[joepic85]

I would love to take lessons one day. Even though im 200 ave. you can always learn from these guys.

Tiger Woods still takes golf lessons

[OLDNED]

Finally, a very good video explaining the

proper release for strikes and spares.

Thank you.

[poeticism]

This is a good video. A lot of people have the wrong idea of it all being in the wrist and releasing in the form of a handshake. Really it's just clearing the thumb and turning the middle and ring fingers. This has helped me to get maximum rotations out of my ball.

[ClintLickler]

you can or you cant...you cant teach if you cant do it...pretty simple.

[aabdulaa]

nice

[manzskies]

clear my doubts..many ways of releasing.GREAT ADVISE!!

[dpck124]

when u rotate your wrist you gotta watch if u have dry lanes the things gonna react like no tommerow....thats why i prefer locking my wrist at 10:00 and shooting over the second arrow

[terzen]

That's just one of possible releases. Not all people have the same release. And this is not the only proper release. I would say that this is a classic release. Todays top bowlers(in my oppinion) use wrist a lot and they din't keep it firm.

[jebakerphd]

What grade are you in?

[ClintLickler]

I like the tips...but if he knows so much, how come he's not on the tour?...can he bowl..or just talk...add coment..c.h.

[jebakerphd]

So the only qualified teachers should be on the road going to tournaments? You are an idiot.

[theguitararbiter]

even tiger woods has a coach dude...but he doesnt play in the pga.

[taimaishu00]

Are you a moron? Fred Borden is a bowling genius.

[ripponv2]

yea i just got coaching from jim dunn(almost gold level coach) or however u spell it about 5 months ago he tought me how to bowl flawlessly and this guy was jim dunns mentor

[Bigtruck2007]

This is the best instructional video I have ever seen

[Guibu2]

Lol the strike shown at the beginning is brooklyn xD

Im topping and I think this will help me out much xD I hope I rise my avg to 210

[drugger00]

is it a problem if i hold my wrist like 70, 80 or 90 degrees

[joepic85]

one of the few dudes that knows what hes talking about in his videos

[fakeleft]

some of the most helpful videos ive seen on youtube. i'm a 175-180 average but never had any lessons or coaching so it's a good watch.

[agotic]

great tips I must say,didn't think I would find such a good video.

[GRock732]

I love the tips, really helps me out.
