Higher Backswing

Letty took video of me without me knowing so I could see how high my backswing really is. Is it really higher than before?

I'm bowling on Scorpion, PBA Experience League at Hiline Lanes in Burien, WA.

can someone please tell me the pros and cons of a higher backswing and the most natural way to do it? i can only "naturally" let it fall and swing back just below shoulder level and since people who look way smaller than me can do it, it seems like its not really a matter of strength. does this have anything to do with my husky, broad body type? i am stranded in japan with no english advice at all.

@pclown It's an illusion. You bend forward right as it starts to pass your leg. Pros are that you aren't using your armstrength as much to throw the ball, since you're using gravity instead, and you don't get as tired. You're using centrifugal force to put lift on the ball as long as you can keep your fingers in the ball. Cons are it takes a very long time to learn how to control it.

it dont matter how high is backswing is, look at the balls he threw,

This was my first time on a PBA pattern, Scorpion, the second longest pattern (shark is the longest of the five named patterns)and one of the lower scoring shots. Not easy at all. One board left or right at the arrows there's an overreaction.

@alexkollos

not really. tommy jones has 500 revs and can actually bowl. whereas this guy has like 100 revs and can't bowl...

Bowling neebs.

@AwesomeKalamityProd I've got more revs than that, bout 275. PBA patterns aren't easy and its not my full time job like Tommy Jones.

take a peek at my vid testing the Elite PBA Shark ball on a very oily lane. I have a fairly high backswing and high ball speed.
