Made my final Unorthodox Styles video if you want to see it! https://youtu.be/VWB2clrAEwE?si=exwFt00tbniGZtyb

Matt Jones looks like he's drunk, stumbles and accidentally drops the ball. Magically the ball does a great hook and strikes. Wow!!! (I gonna check details on his technique.)
-
I'm so impressed that even 3/4 of these guys can release the ball without serious injury.
-
If you walk into a bowling alley & see Matt Jones playing Jim Cripps you're go to think you've entered the Twilight Zone.
-
I've done that backwards one several times. Pretty easy. I was facing the other direction though.
-
Threw a back up ball for years. I was a 185 bowler and wanted to pursue bowling seriously. I got talked into switching to a traditional style and dropped to a 165 avg. now I don’t know how to go back to a back up ball. Moral: if it is repeatable and works, stick with it

His approach isn't that weird overall but Eugene McCune bowls like there's a hamster piloting his body but the hamster only has like 80% control.

I bowl right handed and plant on my right foot. I bowled for years in league like this and everyone couldn't figure out how or why I did it. I never felt strong planting on my left. I was born with a club left foot so it was casted at a young age. I averaged 195 and high game was 279.

Chris Schenkal calling bowling was the Saturday afternoon soundtrack of my youth...
-
"If it looks stupid but it works, it ain't stupid."
-
When I first started bowling, I released the ball so flat that it would spin to the right, and eventually our league's coach got me to bowl correctly, but I think that just shows how different everyone is and what people define as either being comfortable and/or effective for them. Makes bowling so unique as a sport.

My 75 yr old lrft handed teammate was avg 145. I noticed be was sliding on left foot. Helped him slide with right foot and afyer 6 months hes at 170 and has a 279. Proud of the old dude!

I miss the Saturday afternoon bowling with Chris Schenkel.

As someone who has an unorthodox throw, it's awesome to see so many others have unique throws as well. And as I say to everyone who tries to correct my throw, "It's not about the throw, it's about hitting the pins consistently and comfortably. I found a way, so I'm gonna keep doing it."
-
I never thought I'd be riveted to a bowling styles video, but I couldn't look away. Fascinating.
-
That was a fun watch. I remember as a kid keeping score for my Dad's bowling team back in the late 50's!
-
I like this video since it really just shows bowling is all about what feels comfortable. Nice job!

Growing up in Milwaukee Wisconsin in the 70's, bowling was very popular. The leagues I bowled on when I was 12-13 years old, had kids with unbelievable techniques being developed. I mean some of these mere boys were smashing the pins consistently. Times sure have changed. I always hung out at the bowling alley.
-
I think this is what I like most about bowling. That you can do it your own way and really find success if you work on it enough. No ones completely the same.

5:41 novaks technique is actually satisfying, like a whip, or like really emphasising the flick of the wrist and the movement of the arm
