A old school Rev trick

[bowl1820]

He also said while bring the ball downward to move the arm in a figure 8 motion for better hooking action..

The figure 8, that's a old one. It is not really used today. Most just opt to turn out the hand.

The timing is more critical in a figure 8, because your turning the hand in then out. Where as with a straight swing you can keep on your line better and just have to turn the hand out.

the coach at my center (silver certificate, not sure from where) (he's also the proshop owner) teaches almost everybody the figure 8 style (his teaching methods seem outdated IMHO.. he got his certificate from years ago).. i tried it and just didn't work.. now i use more of a straight swing..
