Kind of hard to see anything when your profile is private

kinda looks like a mini Wes Malott from the PBA, doesn't it? looks good, stick with it. good form will take you a long way, along with a lot of practice!

[HCSBowler267643]

around 20-30 games every weekend of practice

Your approach , knee ben / backswing looks great. Your release and stance at the line also looks great. There's nothing I see that would throw you off your game.

Not trying to be rude to the kid but he does NOT look or have the form of wes malott. Sorry kid not being rude but thats not Wes Malott.

Sure looks like he does to me. And,gee whiz,I rolled next to WM last year.

[HCSBowler267643]

Yah I know for a fact i am no where near wes, he has way much more power than i do :D, i kinda thought it looked like Norm Duke in the Early Years.

[BubbaRay]

Whether you look like Wes or not it doesn't really matter. This pic is the impressive pic of you . You look absolutely perfet in your approach here.

[HCSBowler267643]

thank you, i have only been bowling competitively for 2 years, 7 years all together, so i just was looking for some feedback to have people critique it. Thanks Guys

[Etonix]

HCS, i hope you didnt take me the wrong way, its just that the big WM is such a big ol beast lol. Your form is very impressive, i have only been bowling for two years myself two :) ill have some vid and pics up soon as soon as my wrist heals up.

That's the one that made me think of WM. Don't ever change that form. That straight line from the lead arm to the backswing arm is something to kill for. That and the knee bend. Perfect.:)

His form is absolutely perfect. It is the way we teach students how to be. I would like to see a video of him delivering the ball. It has to be awsome.

Here is a video of myself on the 2008 Wild Irish Rose Oil Pattern at my home lanes Roseland Bowl, this pattern had the characteristic of the Scorpion.

Looking at your older vids you've definitely improved over the past year.

[BubbaRay]

This is what I mean. You look perfect in your form HCS

[HCSBowler267643]

ohhh thank you very much, that video off of youtube, there will be a few more videos up in the next few days.... so ...yeah

[Thepainscoming]

Y don't we see the arm out in the vid but its out in the pic?

[HCSBowler267643]

I Recently damaged my knee so when i hurts and i cant start off with good balance i will through it to the side to regain my balance.

Although you are ahead of the curve, calling your form perfect does you a disservice. In the video you have a clear error that you should address. You are not pushing the ball far enough out on the push away. Because of this your ball drops straight down into your swing and has a very abrupt turn at the bottom that "breaks" your wrist and forces you to muscle everything to get it back in a good position (yes even with the wrist brace this all can still happen). Keep pushing the ball out till your elbow is straight before allowing it to drop, and round out both the top and bottom of your swing. This will put less stress on you, allow you to have a freer swing, and give you a bit more ball speed.

I think I get what you are saying, that is something i have always had to work on, there are some videos i have to find that i think everyone can get a HUGE Laugh out of.
