17.07.2023All modern reactive bowling balls hook nowadays , they are talking about rev. rate not hook .
Sven
17.07.2023I love how all of these videos show training up the back to hook. Play the video if them throwing s hook back at speed 0.25, they are clearly NOT going up the back.
He's throwing the hook from about 4 o'clock, not 6.
Teach what you actually do!!!

17.07.2023That's me. My hand on "top" of the equator. Damnit. Almost 10 years of trying to learn how to hook. No chance.

17.07.2023Good Tips and drills…. but there aren't any good videos out ther yet that talk about how to even control the wrist/ball in the swing back to the top in order to have the flat wrist! The hardest thing as a beginner is to be able to handle the ball back and through to the point of release and have your wrist in that posistion. For the most part beginners are rotaded forward in order to hold on to the ball through that motion so it dosent fly off! Can you make a video of how to keep the wrist cupped tight from the draw back to the top and to the bottom at release? Release drill doesnt help if the thumb is so far forward holding th ball for dear life.

17.07.2023I tried this technique last week after watching the video. IT WORKS! Thank you so much for the lessons.

17.07.2023For anyone who knows forearm anatomy and planes of movement, it seems that what you need for spin is pronation of the wrist between 90 to 180 degrees from a fully supinated position. Further, the degree of wrist flexion affects the amount of spin you can generate.
I also assume that the amount of forward force you generate also determines the point at which the ball grips the surface of the lane and initiates its spin. In other words, were you to apply maximal forward force I imagine spin would not take effect even if done correctly due to the forward inertia overcoming any rotational force.

Update:I GOT 3RD PLACE WOOOOO
Zzzzzz...
15.07.2023I am a beginner. I always bowled without a hook, and I average about 120 a game. Today I decided I really want to try to learn how to hook better to get more pin action and watched a few videos on this topic. The thing I learned from these videos is that there is more than one way to do this. Speed is also a factor that should be calculated in as from videos, the more speed you have throwing the ball, the less time the ball has to spin and more time to spin the slower you go. My grandpa mentioned spot bowling to me before and that works, and my grandma always said to focus on a pin and keep your hand straight, which also worked. This was for no spinning of course. Both my grandpas said for spinning, you should start with your fingers in the holes sideways and then bowl. I did try this once or twice in regular games, but I always gutter as there seems to be no consistency. So today I played 4 games by myself. The very first thing I tried was to bowl with 2 fingers one hand, well that failed horribly as the ball just dropped before getting into the alley. So, I then tried to hold the ball with my other hand the whole time and spin with my other hand. The ball goes into the alley but did not spin. I tried again, still same result. So, then I tried one handed with hand in holes down below and spinning the ball at the same time, same result with no curve. I then tried combining what both my grandpas said with what you tube said, which was 2 fingers in hole to the right, not underneath and other hand holding the ball and throw with making the ball spin with my left hand (other hand). Finally, my ball curved and in a big way. I was happy I got my ball to spin. I tried again and same result where the ball spins at least. The whole time it has been gutter balls with maybe 1 pin. I then tried spot bowling using what I have learned, and boy did it take a lot of trial and error using up a few games. I tried the first set of dots mixing it up, I tried picking up the speed, I tried using the arrow markers to aim at and not consistent at all. I would occasionally get lucky and get a strike. Finally, in the fourth game I tried using my grandma's advice about looking at a pin. So, I found out during my fourth game that if I stand lined up with the fourth dot from the left and look at the farthest pin to the right, that about 60% of the time I was able to get the ball to curve and go right into the sweet spot. My consistency is still lacking but is much better than before. So now I need to see if maybe the speed is now a factor or if maybe I am not consistent because I am changing back and forth between my left hand engaging to spin the ball or not engaging. Basically, find out if it's the fingers being to the right and not underneath is spinning the ball or if it's the combination of both hands spinning the ball along with speed for the sweet pocket. So, my scores for games 1-3 were terrible being about 1-50. My fourth game where I was getting more consistent was 94. I think if I keep practicing and homing in on what does what, I can get my consistency up and thus my score will increase along with it. Later this week I will go play another 3-4 games. Overall, I think today was a good day and a good use of $14 as I gained experience and intel. So that is my journey I had today by myself just trying to try different things and finding out what works for me.

Desiree Seinbroner
15.07.2023Where do you get one of those rev mats?
nickkduhh
15.07.2023Is there a specific spot on the lane you should release at? Far left, far right, center left, center right?
TheDuckofLaw
14.07.2023That was fantastic! Thanks for the tips!
Leonardo DG
14.07.2023Thank you for this very technical guide. Will put this in to good use. Appreciate!
David Stone
14.07.2023You seem to be skipping the most important part – turning over your wrist when releasing the ball. (Or otherwise imparting the “spin.”
Frank Formella
14.07.2023Thanks again always trying to get more hook
Orbill Bareng
14.07.2023Your teaching, do not coincide when they release the bowling ball. When they release the bowling ball, I notice that their fingers is at the right side of the ball not at the back.

13.07.2023I’ve been practicing to hook for some time and I just can’t get the hang of it 😢
Jelly Meep
13.07.2023What about left hand
Dan Harvell
13.07.2023Typical for this channel – give information that is technically good, but only gives half of what you really need. If you look at the release at the end of the video, there is a LOT more going on than what was explained in the video.
ericagape67
13.07.2023Where can I get the rev device?
Paula Hulse
13.07.2023Well I get what you are showing as he is knelt at the foul line, but I can’t wrap my head around doing all that standing up at release. Please don’t laugh☺️☺️☺️☺️
cfuzzkennedy
13.07.2023If you pause it at 5:32, the hand is completely different than the explanation. It’s not center and the equator is tilted.
michael taylor
13.07.2023Chicks "dig the big wheel?" I enjoy bowling but never thought of any bowling "technique" as a aphrodisiac! Your comments ladies???
Dude Man
13.07.2023No f-ing way! In the drill the ball spins perfectly forward, that will not hook. So stupid!!
Paula Hulse
13.07.2023How does that apply if you are standing to release?
Steve Keller
13.07.2023Coach Mike(s), Thanks for the fine video with great explanation/demonstration.
As a life long chicken winger I can’t seem to stay under & behind the ball all the way. Maybe I’m pulling ?
Anyway, I can execute the last drill (getting hand out to produce revs ) but don’t understand how to do that when the ball is swinging. Learn to let the thumb come out then rip the fingers ?
Thank you
Rick Waas
12.07.2023Can a lack of flexibility (knee bend) adversely affect your ability to hook the ball?
Richard Ewen
12.07.2023What matches up to a rhino yellow dot 14 lbs reaction ball
Janko Sladnjak
12.07.2023Useless for beginners.
Michael
12.07.2023The reason most people release at top or side of the ball is because they can't get their thumb out. If a ball is NOT fitted correctly for a bowler's hand, then all this instruction means nothing.
April Pringle
12.07.2023I’ve been trying to hook for the longest. I hope I can try this way and be successfully. Thx
Vicken Bastajian
12.07.2023I love bawling but im having trouble hooking the ball!!$$
Andres
12.07.2023But how is the hook actually
Made ? When releasing from behind the ball with palm up it goes dead straight
Joe Schmoe
12.07.2023Why do I see them use two hands when hooking? The spin rotations are not like cricket? U rotate the ball forward for it to hook right to left?
This is too much for my brain to comprehend
So there's no wrist involved

12.07.2023I need classes. I love watching you guys, I’m very bad playing bowling, If you were close to show me how to play.
