somebody like this shouldnt make instructional videos on bowling

[nctarheels152332]

well if it is on your thumb, then it means that the pitch on the ball is wrong....u need to talk to the pro shop owner about that....and if u get cuts on your fingers, then you need to expect cuts when u throw the ball with more finger... a lot of bowlers at my alley put a lot of finger in the ball and their fingers are jacked up

[shaneme5]

@vutnukka Who the fuck asked for your opinion?

If you didnt find the video helpful, that's fine, but don't be an asshole by posting that.

[vutnukka]

@shaneme5 hey go fuck yourself i wasnt even being rude i was expressing my opinion just like everyone else

[MrHammy876]

this guy sure is an expert.... ha not really

[marsquack]

he mentioned about his way of bowling, and 1000 men got everything different. so stop whinning and complaining about his his style. coz he's giving u free lesson on the internet, and he's surely not ur mother, ok?

[goldengloves27]

not very clear

[captainsmile123]

you couldn't even do enough takes so he didn't say "oh shoot" during the video?

[Roudasperg]

Well,he does not say anything in detail and he pretty much confuses you,but I have ,not in perpose,put my fingers as far in as I could in my fingertip bowling ball and it indeed gave me a bigger hook than usual (I think what he tries to instruct is rights,but it might just be my imagination...)

[JCHONDA2NR]

oh kool, i didnt know that sticking my fingers all the way in would get more revs...im going to try this asap

[SuperValie]

i was told that (instead of your thumb) your fingers are the most important thing in throwing curve.... all the higher players here are using special grips in the fingerholes to create those revs (you'll hear a "plop" sound when releasing the ball). i'm just a beginner, so excuse me if i'm wrong.....

hahahahaha...... nice one wheezer97

[wheezer97]

OK folks, don't forget, put your fingers into the ball. I was putting my toes in until I saw this expert explain this one. Another great funny video from the not so expertvillage people. Get yourself another drink buddy.
