bowling release

StarPuppy SG

My coach teach me to release my ball....like yo yo

he says drop like yoyo and then fingertip pull up....i dunno what he really means....anyway

I am really intrested on how some bowlers have high swing and from my view,they like spinning the ball upon release but it actually hooks....i want to learn that but i dunno why my ball is unable to do that kind of potential

i suppose u r talking about hook bah..i think what he really mean is not to force the ball and juz let the ball down using gravity (like yoyo?) and then lift the ball lor (fingertip pull up)....no need high swing also can hook one..
last time got one legendary PBA bowler nv swing his ball much also..think his name is Tom Carter??high swing is more of having more power to ur ball. using physics to explain.. G.P.E = mgh..so the higher ur height the higher ur energy..

nonono PLEASE dun get wad ur coach say in the wrong light, the yo-yo or frisbee release is a very strong release, as it is hard to tell u over the forumn, its best tt u can get ur coach to show u, we can do u this favour too (bowling session victor’s superbowl 17/6 2100hrs) btw, i rem u said u r pretty young, if ur coach is confident in letting u try this release, u shld be of a certain std, whu is ur coach btw?

release like yoy means you flick your wrist and throw the ball down towards the floor Laughing

i've tried out my friend's heavy hook ball today.. and damned near broke my wrist Laughing

i'm sticking to spin...

now to find a ball around 10lb to 11lb Wink

StarPuppy SG

hook is a bit hard to do if u don't have a strong wrist or a base foundation of bowling....spin is easier but young new bowlers always anyhow spin and injure their wrists...So how was the results today?

the Bear SG

high game of 180... the 9th & 10th frame were spent fooling around with the hook ball Laughing

the other 3 games were spent totally fooling around... my attention span is very very short Razz

StarPuppy SG

not bad man......nice one Mr. Green

the Bear SG

if anything is wrong with my bowling game, it's paying attention and concentrating Laughing

i can concentrate for about 3 frames.. then my mind wanders and i end up looking for things to eat, people to kachow, and drinks

i'm a social bowler Razz

StarPuppy SG

its quite common....its nice to bowl when u are in a group....friends to joke and to eat...i do that at times too but when its ur time to bowl....u are in a fantasy battlefield,pins are the enemies and the ball is ur weapon...cast ur magic to destroy all of them Very Happy

the Bear SG

izzit?

we're just joking around... Laughing

like when i throw a strike.. i go "because i can!" and i get jokingly jeered

StarPuppy SG

yea... Mr. Green yea.....

so intrested in taking bowling as a sport? Very Happy

the Bear SG

not really.. just a social bowler.. and sometimes i struggle to make 100 Laughing

StarPuppy SG

its really simple...just go on "proposing knee" swing and point straight at straight pins or at the pins u want...that way...u no need to struggle anymore Very Happy

Matthew Lim Li Hao SG

StarPuppy SG
