Versions of the Bowling Release | USBC Bowling Academy

Nice! This video might have just solved my one-handed release issue. The explaination of the "modern" release and how it is similar to a full-roller release might be the key for me. I can roll two-handed without a problem, but the "contemporary" 3/4 roller release--the way I try to do it--causes all kinds of trouble for me. Need to try the "modern" release. I've seen the motion in slow motion videos of bowlers like Sean Rash and Mike Fagan. (The little bit of experimenting I just did at home is encouraging. Hard to tell by how the ball rolls on carpet though!)

When you think of the "figure eight" hand turn for the full roller you think Bill Allen. The king of the full roller release is the legendary Billy Hardwick.

I've always understood a full roller as only tracking between the thumb and finger holes and nowhere else. What is being described here must be a track that covers the full circumference of the ball but with its axis shifted such that the track is moved outside of the thumb/finger hole space. Interesting. Maybe this type of roll could be called something else, e.g., "circle roller", "shifted-axis full roller", etc...???

I would love to see an in depth video on the full roller style, and drilling options. I definitely roll full roller, with the ball tracking in between the fingers and thumb, and really have only found that the pin to the left of my thumb hole works well...

i am a two handed full roller

I bowl more "conventionally" as you said. My hand is never behind the ball. It's always on the side and I get a lot of revs because I'm basically just pulling up.

The two-handed release IS INCREDIBLY LAME!

I kinda noticed that the slide is disappearing

i cant swing the ball straight and it end up behind my back help pls

How about the UFO Spinner release

The two hand release should be outlawed. Just like the belly putter was in golf.

Is the 2 handed release a traditional release?

How about the UFO release?

I noticed that at the end of this video the bowler doesn't slide she just plants her foot. I've not noticed this before. Is there a reason why she does this? Is one easier to do or does it depend, more of a bowler preference?

Forgot about 2 finger release

Hi guys 💥 I'm a new subscriber to your channel 😋 I have been told recently that I throw a "heavy ball". Is this good for me? My release is definitely like Shannon's. I have been bowling about a year and my avg. 189. Both of my bowling balls are drilled the same. Code Red and storm Intense are PIN-up and 1 inch right of ring finger. I have watched Lil Kim on ESPN many times. Always was smiling on the outside, but don't know what was churning Inside..If you can help me, it's very much appreciated....🐸

Kim Terrell .. love her. Learned a lot from her personally in my junior gold days

She is actually a grown and sexy woman

im full roller, should i change to semi? pros and cons?

i swear dude these people hating on two hand bowlers, they are just trying to get comments and attention. Makes me laugh how two hand haters blame on the lamest point in bowling, saying how its lame, ruins the sport etc... Yea I've seen two hand bowlers gutter every shot, so what. I see them don't hit their marks as consistent as one hand bowlers,and not getting their 10pin spare shots, but its all practice. SO STOP CRYING, its making bowling cool again, for real.

I only bowl once or twice a year so I'm not very good (average around 140). I straight bowl mostly and I think I release the ball evenly from my fingers and connect very smooth with the lane. Also, I end up very low when releasing able to palm the floor. I wonder if this is not a suggested technique or it's whatever works best for you?

My bowling style is more of a Stroker.

Shannon Pluhowski does not throw a full roller. I don't know why they are saying she does. She doesn't have zero tilt either. She has less than average tilt amongst professionals and a higher than average track but absolutely NOT a full roller.

There is 69 comments so don't reply goddammit!

Sort of like cheating if you think about it. Two handed bowling isn't really bowling and they should have their own League if at all. To generate Twice The Rev rate as well as speed... I just think two handed bowling is ridiculous... About like playing frisbee, or they call it disc golf... Which in itself has not one thing to do with golf either

I’ve seen so many people attempt the 2 handed and 90% of the time they suck

Though if your thumb is out in the two handed style, it creates both comfort and a more consistent release

Hmm.. I don't throw like this at all, but my 10 game average is 176, with a strike rate of 45% (as in 10 consecutive games). I don't use the thumb at all, and throw a 16lb ball... I wonder if they will do a more up to date video that covers more throwing styles. My style is far from "normal" but works quite well and is fairly consistent, though after about the 6th game my accuracy starts to suffer from fatigue.

The two handed thing is just a fad to me.

tell statistic 2022 PBA bowlers using spinner, semi roller, mid roller release in prosents

I ment full roller not mid roller

Miss you Kim. It's wayne from Serrabowl
