video of my bowling

"when the ball reaches the bottom of the back swing, your weight should be on your right foot."

"When the ball reaches the bottom of your backswing, your weight is on your left foot."

Okay Mike, Which one is right?

In the four step approach as taught by level one coaches, for right handed bowlers the ball drops into the swing as the right foot touches back down on the floor at the end of the first step.

They both are correct.

The first line is talking about what he should be doing.

The second line is talking about what he is incorrectly doing.

Think about the approach as if you were able to stop each time the ball reached the bottom (both forward and backward)

On the way back, you could stop and be balanced on your right foot. Your left side would counter balance the weight of the ball.
On the way forward, you could stop and be balanced on your left foot. This is only possible because you slide
your right leg to the left side of your left foot, counter balancing the weight of the ball.

i dont think my timing off my buddy vince would have said something if it was off that much i think what you are refering to is the normal but you forget everyone is different my speed is slower then most peoples in my approach if i did the rule of thumb and started the ball when i started my timing would be early

You're free to think whatever you want.

I know almost everyone is different, mainly because almost everyone is self taught.

If you started the ball on time, your feet would move faster with the same arm swing time.

Ah Ha!! There's your problem. Nothing good can come of having a friend named "Vince". Always a bad idea.

Why put a video up if you aren't willing to listen to anything someone says about it. Several people have commented on your timing and you rebuffed each one.

i am not i stated before that i dont adjust my timing i let me coach do that people kept posting on it and didnt understand why i also stated they may be right how am i rebuffing that? i never said anyone was wrong at any point in time because i dont know if my rule of thumb i grew up on is wrong i am not saying anyone is wrong for all i know mike might be right and he probably is but i dont adjust my timing on my own i let my coach do that

Sorry Mike, I obviously read your reply too quickly.
