So with the onset of Covid and Golf being my primary sport I finally have a little over a years worth of actual bowling. I finally broke down and got a Tripod Stand for my phone to video tape bowling practice. Any critique is appreciated.

My takeaways from this video are as follows. If anyone has anything to add let me know as I don't really know much about bowling. The first two shots are me and the second two are of my 81, soon to be 82, year old father (the reason Bowling is on my list of favorite pastimes activities these days).
1) Respect to the Covid beard?
1a) need to lose a little weight
1b) need to shave a little, but not all, of the beard.
1c) need to figure out how to better edit videos so when there are only 30'ish seconds worth of video it does not show that there are 14+ minutes of video.
2) My takeaway may be a little inside but I like the way the ball is coming off my hand and the current rotation.
3) When I follow through straight (first video segment) I tend to have better results. When my follow through goes left (2nd video segment) I tend to miss hard RIGHT. Was wondering why I would sometimes miss so far right.
4) I am not using my left arm for balance enough in my approach and my backleg kick-out may not be pronounced enough.
5) My takeaway is short as I tend to be upright in my approach limiting the amount of backswing I can obtain.
5a) My release position, bottom of swing, is high (near knee height) which would be more resolved by being less upright in the backswing and release?
6a) For my father my only critique was I thought his last step may be a little too long but I have no idea what I am talking about when it comes to bowling. It just seems long to me and maybe throwing off his delivery some. As I indicated he is over 80 and his consistency seems pretty decent to me.
