3 fingers practice

[martinezsam2495]

I'm starting to get throwing the ball....
But, no hook at all. I can't generate revs like I do without the thumb. I know I'm not expecting to have a ton of revs automatically, but I'm just saying I can't generate none... The only hook I have is the little backend hook my ball has. I've probably bowled too much this past week as I have bowled a little over 30 games. My thumb started to hurt today after the 3rd game. It started to get a blister, I stopped using my thumb and continued playing with 2 fingers.
My main question is, how do I create revs or hook the ball with 3 fingers?
Any videos, comments, or explanations would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
~Sam.

Try youtube video of Pete Webers hand release. It will give you an idea of how to put hook on ball 1 handed.

These Randy Peterson videos are pretty good:

It wouldn't let me put all three into one post for whatever reason.

They shouldve combined all three tips in one video, i feel like the intro is longer than the actual tips. they also used the same shots over and over but nonetheless, it summarizes what you need to do to generate revs.

the thing that helped me out with getting lots of revs when i use to bowl with like no backswing and muscled the ball i had alot of revs but when i tryed to pull my arm up higher it had no rev my self.

it took some time and practice to get use to it and where to place my hand but everytime i went up and practied i had my hand in a different spot but always cups in every games well not every game i would do about a game a half caus ei would only go for 3 games-6games

okay, thanks for the videos, I think the problem is that I can't cup the ball, I can, but I can't do it during the backswing, when I try holding that postion up the backswing I feel like the ball is going to fall and I leave my wrist straight.

Don't worry about it in the backswing... if you ever watch Mike Fagan he is completely relaxed until right before release he cups and then uncups.
