I went and bowled yesterday with the camera...been working on a few things (my release and timing being the main things) and I wanna know what you guys think...
Criticism is welcome and appreciated. Comments are welcome too...it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside lol

((sorry about it being blurry...something was on the lens and I didnt know, I can get a better one in league tonight if you would prefer))


Idle: Here's me two handing...first shot I messed up and fell off balance, spare shot I got it down right

Blue: Thanks, I looked into what you were talking about with the more loft and coming around the ball more, and I've been working on my release and getting my timing right. My track raised back to normal and now my drill on my Cell is back to being a 5 x 3 with the angle on the MB more like 70 degrees instead of 45, big difference in ball reaction

FYI: All shots are on freshly oiled THS, I'm throwing my Cell at 4000 in the New video, in the old one I'm throwing my Anger at 1000 (big difference in release to be honest)



Also: for fun I have this one of the Cell (4000 grit) at lane level

Your driving the ball into the lane much better. And the more forward roll will be much better when it comes to tougher patterns.

I did MUCH better this last week on the Scorpion because of it, I appreciate the advice, and I took Can's advice and lengthened my first step.

Yeah I know, but when I try to put my thumb in, I lose control and pull all the shots AND throw slower lol

Thanks

Nice video Blister, the 2 handed was pretty good also and with some practice you could get very good with it because you have the right follow through and you clear your hips well and stay in time doing it which is the big thing. Yes I do put my thumb in, only to the first knuckle though.

Thank you Idle, I work at it at times.
Its a fun thing to do and I do it in league if I really struggle with my release.

I remember the first time I did it I made sure that I was in time because I know what not being in time does, my brother cant do it so he pulls the ball into the 7 pin every time he tries it.

I see alot of improvement from the firsy video blisters. Your timing and release is much better and the reaction of the ball is better. The improvement of the first stepp is a vast improvement.

On the 2 handed delivery, you look good doing it. Eveything looks good from the swing to the release with 2 hands. One thing I did notice though or is it me. In the first 2 videos of you, is that you take 3 step approach. With the 2 handed shot you take a 4 step approach. In my opinion you look alot better with a 4 step approach. Everything seems to be much smother and in time alot more than the 3 step.

My timing gets very bad if I try to switch from a 3, I've tried and I always cant start the backswing soon enough
