Bowling different hand releases in slow motion.

Watch this video closely and you can learn how the different hand positions create different ball rotations and give you the ability to play different parts of the lane. In this video all the lanes are oiled the same yet some are playing in deep and some are playing outside close to the gutter. Notice how the ones playing to the right side of the lane outside have their hand relaxed backward and the ones playing left and in deep inside are cupping their wrist and even some are grabbing and hitting up on the fingers in order to create the high rev needed to get the ball to hook enough to get back to the pocket from deep inside where the oil is heavier volume.

How much should you Practice Bowling.

Well, like I tell the people I coach, steady, and quality, not necessarily quantity. But there is this thing called muscle memory and if you don't bowl on a steady basis that muscle memory will tend to fade with time. The more muscle memory you have developed the less you have to think about your motion and mechanics and the more your body will flow physically and the smoother you will be. I tend to practice steady up till a few days before a tournament and then rest so I am fresh for the tournament. Below is a video of some of the Pro's I bowl with talking about how much they practice. If you keep up with bowling over time you will notice that the pro's in this video who tend to practice more and on a steady basis are the ones you have seen the most on TV lately. Practice is important so long as you don't overdo it, cause like Bill O'neal states, you don't want to get burned out. 

How to pick up the 2,8,10 split in bowling.

If you ever wanted to know if it was possible to pick up the 2,8,10 split or the 3,9,7 for lefties. The answer is YES, I have picked this up twice in my life myself, and this is exactly how I did it as well.

Bowling Pin Defies Physics

Yet another video showing how sometimes the pins just don't bounce like they should. Make sure to watch the whole video so you can see in slow motion how the 3 pin stands up in the 10 pin spot.

Bowling Shoe Protective Covers.

When you are bowling and need to leave the lane seating area to go to the snack bar or the restroom or anywhere else in the bowling center, especially on rainy days you want to protect your shoes from getting wet or dirty by putting on and wearing bowling shoe protective covers.
I have tried many different brands and types of shoe protective covers and have found this brand and type of cover lasts me the longest giving me the most for my money. The elastic, side and bottom materials are the most durable of all the typs and brands of bowling shoe protective covers I have used over the last 20 years.
You can click on the picture link below and it will take you to Amazon where you can purchase the same bowling shoe protective covers that I use.

The strike that wasn't.

Sorry I have not posted lately as I was taking care of my 57year old brother, unfortunately he passed away.
I actually had a very similar reaction happen to me many years ago where the pins fell and the 4 pin fell and bounced up and stood in the 9 pin spot.
Here is a wild video of how bowling can appear to defy psychics at times.
