I don't really know about bowling technique. Is that a normal throwing motion? It almost looked like he was rolling it like little kids do, both hands on the ball, no fingers in the holes. Obviously it works for him but just looked funky to me.

My buddy Jerry who died was a really good bowler. When he was a kid his home alley was this little eight lane place called Tatovich's on the Northwest side. I don't remember exactly where it was. Maybe jimmypasta or Seacrest knows. Jerry always described this place as a "brick house", meaning it was a hard place to score. Back in the day the lanes weren't set up for scoring the way they are now and Tatovich's was unusually difficult. Anyway, after the place closed at night Jerry and his friends would play a game where you had to throw one ball on each lane in your stocking feet. I think Jerry had the record and it was 77 or 78. |

No. It's a fad technique that is gaining steam on the pro tour because they can get high rev rates to go along with the speed on the ball. What pisses me off more is when I see kids doing it in the junior programs instead of learning proper technique...kids never really get the chance to build strength. |

Kids should learn how to bowl conventionally, before attempting to learn the two handed throw. And I will go ahead and be that guy. He didn't bowl a 300. It was very impressive, but it isn't a 300 game. |

Yeah. The record should be "Fastest 12 strikes" Learning the footwork and proper conventional way to bowl is key for kids and beginners. This would be like kids going from coach pitch or tee ball, straight to throwing curve balls. |

This would be like kids going from coach pitch or tee ball, straight to throwing curve balls. Our babysitter's oldest is 9. He's in the junior program in Vernon Hills, and I will stop by to watch on Saturday mornings every now and again. The "coaches" there, told him to keep using the 2 handed approach, which has him contorting his body is all sorts of odd ways. And he's throwing a plastic ball to boot, which means it's not actually gripping the lane and giving any sort of reaction. All that is happening is that he's getting more and more discouraged from going every week. I've worked with him a little, and so has his step-dad...they've come up after our Sunday league. We've worked a little on a conventional approach, but every god damn week, these idiot "coaches" keep him going back to the 2 handed nonsense. They even put out an edict a few weeks ago that no parents could give any tips while at league. I've talked to some friends that run junior programs, and introduced his mom to a coach at a good program closer to their house. He's actually getting accepted to their league for coaching next year (there is generally a wait list, but they're going to let him in). |

When I saw the thread title I thought it was going to be about an accomplishment of Kim Jong-un. |

I only bowl every once in a while now but when I was 8-9 I bowled in a competitive league in Ottumwa. We went to the state bantam finals in 1973. I have always bowled wrong being right handed and sliding on my right foot on delivery of ball. Could never change it though I tried many times. 196 avg. at 9 years old. I cannot do that now best is 144-155 but I do not do it often. Anybody else bowl wrong? |
