any bowling analyze programs

[striker12]

hey guys im looking for a bowling analyzing program that i can record me bowling and check out what im doing and how the ball is going down the lane and see how my body is on the approach and see if i can fix anything so i can take a look at it when im off the lane and when i get on the lanes i can work on something.

mostly looking for free ones to try out then once i figure out how to work them then i will pay for one and keep working on my bowling until i get it good enough that i will have more control.


thanks guys.

Sorry striker,

something this specialized would never be free, the kegal training center uses c.a.t.s. but that would be way out of your price range lol

but hey, just post video on here, we critic, you go fix something, and repeat :D

[striker12]

yeah im planning on doing that but with the analyze i can take a closer look and see how much i need to change but not really free like a test trail of the product and dont think anything is out of my price range if its great then i will pay abit for it.

Most free programs are not strictly for bowling they are general motion analysis programs for many sports. A lot are off shoots of golf swing analysis programs.

A good open source program is kinovea, has some advanced features like tracking movement, but has learning curve.

There is also V1 Home version pretty simple

For more bowling specific functions you have to go to some of the paid programs.

i have checked that one out and i did download a free trail on my computer but was not able to upload any video for a test to see how it works it kept saying i needed a codec and everytime i went to there site to get one all i seen on there was downloads after downloads

[striker12]

one thing to note striker, this software won't tell you what your doing right/wrong, it is a tool to be used by someone who knows what their doing to get more in depth analysis of a bowler. not meant to replace a coach.

it looks like the software simply automates what you can do with normal video editing software.

yeah ik this but with a video of me bowling i can check and see where my feet ar finishing at and see how much different they are and also see how much my accuracy is off and see the different in my backswing.

You can do that with any video player. Stuff that does frame by frame, slo-motion, etc will cost some. I use Storm's know your game software ($40) but would love to get Ebonite's coaching software ($2,000).

alright so i will stick with the video player for now and see if i can get stuff to work for me.

also bill i was watching the video i posted on here awhile ago that was my first video i was watching my approach and seen i stride left but thats normal for me and going to try to change that but the other thing i seen on every shot every time i had a solid slid and my foot never moved at the end i had a nice shot even some spares, but when my foot twitched i messed up and when i look at my foot its on a angle.


so i need to work on my foot work is that any drills that can help with that and also whats a good way to help stop striding left.

[billf]

Practice without the ball so you can focus on your footwork and slide. One step drill will help with the slide. The drift is just hand-eye coordination so you will just have to pay attention, focus and practice walking the approach.
