Lazy balance arm and leg video

[billf]

I've been struggling the past two weeks. The video shows me making the same mistakes as before. So frustrating.


I included a whiff on a spare attempt and some funny others including where on a 7-10 split the ball came out of the gutter and went between them. What else do you see?

Damn. A 1 hour video took two hours to edit, an hour to load and now it's forever processing on YouTube!

bill what ball are you throwing i seen the HHR but not sure of the other balls i think the red one at the start was the nexxus but the blue ball what ball was that.

another thing i seen around the 4min mark when u left up the 1-2-4-10 u should o thrown your HHR or nexxus witch ever ones more agressive u should stand on the 20board and push the ball out to the 7board and u ill make it go broocklin and u will convert it i have done that and i have made it 11/11 times.

My thought is your approach is off some, I'm not sure just how to phrase it.

I want to say your a little to far from the foul line, even with a five step approach and you rush the line.

You take three kinda of short steps at first, then on your fourth step it almost looks like a skip not a step.

It's Like your trying to make up some distance, before the slide step.

Then you take a long step and plant not really a slide. (not that there's anything wrong with a plant and shoot) but it looks to forced not smooth.

Try shortening your approach some and even the step spacing out some.

Plus I think you carry the ball a little long. maybe get it in motion a little sooner.

what i've see is that you walk 4 steps.. and instead of sliding you kind of put ur left leg further up and stay on the spot when you throw instead of sliding through.. shall continue watching before i comment more..

Spacing the steps instead of them being short is another thing I've been working on. Ron Hatfield moved me back that far (I was at the closer dots) to increase the step length and ball speed. I keep reverting back to the short steps and not sure why. I take rather large steps when I normally walk.

The blue one was the Reckless. You were correct about the other two. That HRR is pin up and polished.

I've always noticed the little "skip" step you do, but hey, if it's what you're comfortable with, than go for it.

never yeah u should of playing alittle more left with the HHR it was doing good but not hitting hard enoph if u where alittle mroe left and pushed it out maby 2 or 3 more boards u probly would of been getting some better pin action i use to stand 4 boards left of the last dot but had to mvoe right cause i kept hitting the ball return with my ball on my back swing soo know i stand on the 2nd arrow on the left and it just hits the pocket hard and gose right threw. 1 thing i did see a few times was your balance was off abit but only jsut as you released the ball but u got it back, like i seen your body moving one wya but then it stoped and u stood right back up.
