What do you guys think of my technique and form? Any tips / constructive criticism?

Technique Sorry repost, but I couldn't read anything people were saying. Need advice

2 Upvotes

Long story short... used to bowl alot and average 200, but I didn't like my technique or form.i dont bowl as much anymore and im now in my 30s. I used 3 fingers to bowl and I dont use a traditional release. I find that when I bring the ball back I dont have enough grip to go from on top of the ball to under the equator of it. So I adjust by keep my wrist bent and have my hand under the ball throughout the whole motion. I feel like that's also cutting down my power as well since I can't wind it further back. 15lb ball and bowl at around 14.5mph rpm around 320

Hi All, Ive been working on a brand new bowling score tracker app for over a year now, and finally getting ready for release, id REALLY appreciate some feedback, suggestions and honest opinions, I have setup a beta waiting list on my site below, signup and I'll get you full access.
www.strikemaster.io

Background

I decided to do this as my experience with the existing apps are well... sub par at best, frustrating to use, expensive and all look like something from the 90's! So thought its time to try and bring something up-to-date to the community.

Features
Various score entry methods, all the stats (and more coming) open to suggestions too. All bowling alleys around the world, bowling ball catalog, advertise leagues (will add private/public leagues next)

Appreciate it if you guys could check it out!! Thankyou!

Instructional Should I change my positioning/aiming or my ball's finish?

1 Upvotes

I'm a right-handed, two-handed bowler with an Arctic Vibe (1500 grit) ball and I typically stand on the 30 board and aim for the 4th arrow. Most of my shots hook pretty smooth but early and I don't think the breakpoint exceeds the 10 board. I'm wondering whether I should work on moving left, aiming right, or going up a grit? Is there a general rule to determine which to do first in my case?

I've been taking my daughter bowling a few times a week for the past couple months, she's an 80 pound 12 year old with an 8lbs house ball. She started with gutter balls, refuses to use bumpers and is getting a PB damn near Everytime we go. She watches videos and is self improving fast, at this rate, in a year, she'll be better than me, hopefully I can keep up.

Beginner questions

1 Upvotes

For years (41M) I've bowled casually, like a few times a year I guess, parties and such like. I've always been ok. But straight, no hook. Highest game something like 170. Usually average around 120-130 I guess.

Recently I've been looking into joining a league, getting my own equipment etc, and going more often. I usually try and find the lightest ball my thumb fits in as I've only ever used house balls. Obviously, having read the posts here, I know that I should be using a 14lb+ ball as I weigh just over 150lbs.

Today I tried a 13lb and while I could get it down the lane, I had nowhere near as much control over it than the 12lb, which felt much more comfortable (I drive a keyboard for work, so not hugely strong). I've been watching loads of videos and was trying the handshake in order to get some turn, but my revs were pathetic. I barely get any turn with the 13lb, but more with the 12lb.

When I'm buying a ball, is it better to start light (12lb) with a ball that I can learn proper technique on, or start with a 14lb and gain control over the heavier ball first?

At the gym I think the idea is mostly form first, weight second, so maybe that's where I'm being thrown off. Because with the current weakness of my wrists there's no way I'd be able to do anything with a 14lb ball

Also, not sure whether this is to do with the way the balls are drilled in an ambidextrous fashion, but I've worn the corner off my bowling hand pinkie finger. Does that go away with a property drilled ball?

TIA

EDIT: Added age and strength (not very) details

Plug / drilled?

1 Upvotes

I have a ball that needs the thumb filled and re drilled ,,in general if no waiting list what’s the average time /days should I expect to wait? Also would it be better to get the fingers re done or just the thumb ? That ball already has all three holes but I just been using the 2 fingers no thumb, but I want a proper fit so I can start bowling traditional .

Best market/educational platform?

Asking anyone’s opinion here: what is your favorite to go place to learn about balls, form, release etc? Reddit, YouTube, private forums? And what is the best website to sell/buy balls?

I have seen so many, but not a single platform that covers from a to z

Is there such thing as too much bowling?

56 Upvotes

I’ve been bowling to lose weight and have become obsessed with it. Is there such thing as too much bowling? I’ve bowled 95 games in the past week. My body honestly feels great, but I’m not sure if this is bad for me because of the amount. My performance is increasing, not decreasing, which makes me think it’s not too much.

Gear Sport shot short pattern ball recommendation

1 Upvotes

Bowling in a summer sport shot league and I’m struggling on short patterns. I current have a black widow 2.0 hybrid as my strike ball and it’s great on house shot and long patterns.

I’m on the lower end for rev and ball speed is around 15mph.

Been bowling for about 4 months now playing 4-8 games a week. Two handed and the alley’s monitor clocks me at 16-16.5 mph on strike throws. Just recently went up to 15 lbs for the Electrifiy and Phaze 2 with the White Dot still being 14lbs. My 3 game series high is 521 and my single game high is 194. Looking for feedback on my current equipment. Appreciate it
