Get the inside out swing by Joe Slowinski.....

Hammer: Good for you! It's not a matter of be a traditional bowler, or be a modern bowler. It's all a matter of degree. Incorporate what you can, throw out what doesn't work for you. This is supposed to be fun. It sounds like it is for you.

Incorporate what you can, throw out what doesn't work for you. This is supposed to be fun. It sounds like it is for you.

Thats the advice I follow! I just always wrestle with it because I don't want to give up on being better bowler because I'm "more comfortable" continuing to bowl traditionally. But I've also found that I tend to get better when getting input from multiple sources and doing exactly what you are saying. I take in their advice, I try to apply parts of it to my game…some stuff works so I keep doing it…some things don't.

I've bolded the parts I have incorporated into my game:

Coach 1: Short approach, hand to the ceiling and post, lateral movement versus using a spare ball, shoulders square to the foul line, 4-step approach.

Coach 2: belt buckle to the target, easy release/no muscling, head always straight up and down, push the ball out towards the target.

Internet/other advice/methods: 5-step approach, ball starts low and to the left, use of a spare ball, expanded arsenal, DYDS, modern release, lower loft

Etc…

Still working on DYDS; just having some problems with balance. Seeing some of the guys that o DYDS successfully have a DRASTIC lateral tilt. Their balance arm is almost 30 degrees from straight up and down versus 90 degrees when it's out to the side.

And then there are aspects to my game that seem to work despite not being "taught" to do them. For example, my targeting system of throwing along a line rather than towards a target….which forces me to decrease my excessive loft. And my leg kick to the side which keeps me from over-rotating my shoulders and pulling the shot.

We have to remember that this article is about how to get a pro inside out swing. We can fool with it in practice but as far as getting it right is another story. Some of us will learn faster then others. Some might just can it and bowl their own way.
