Question from YouTube:

Q – When i’m bowling in league and i’m bowling against people with high rev rate i usually struggle any tips on what to do? dynanomite tyler

Question from YouTube:

Q – I have a unique question. This past July I went to junior gold. Well before going, whenever I would go bowl league or just practice on house shot I could take my most aggressive ball and stand around 20 and throw it out to around 8 at the break point. Now whenever I go bowl I can play close to that same line but with my weakest ball. In order to throw the same ball I have to move almost 20 boards right (I’m left handed) and it usually results in bad shots. Obviously it’s hard to tell without watching me but do you guys have any ideas on how this possibly could’ve happened? I don’t work out or anything like that and I don’t honestly bowl that much, maybe 2-4 days a week counting league. Thanks for your help. Noah Anderson

Talk Bowling – Episode #124

Talk Bowling is proud to be bringing you the latest information from the bowling industry, bowling tips and updates from the world’s largest bowling website, bowlingball.com.

Question from YouTube:

Q – How do I improve my release to a point of it being clean and giving me a moderate amount of hook on a medium-longer sport shot oil pattern? I’ve tried cupping the ball, but it is difficult to stay under the ball past it coming down past my leg. I bowled in the Junior Gold nationals this year, and I was only able to see ANY movement from my Nirvana on the short oil pattern, and on any of the other oil patterns there would be about enough hook to take out the 8 pin if I shot straight from the right gutter to the pocket. My ball speed is also not very fast, at about 12-14 mph. I just want to know a way to make my release clean and come around the ball enough to generate even a few boards of hook on a longer oil pattern so I can be more competitive based on my carry (a side note, I made 97% of single/double pin spares, but the larger count spares and lack of striking power a what made me miss the cut) – Travis Knox

Question from Facebook:

Q – How do you know when it’s time to change balls?

Question from Facebook:

Q – I have seen where Tony says he didnt lose any carry when he switched from 15 to 14 pounds. I am a senior bowler and I have been using 14 pounds for a number of years, but by the 3rd game the ball feels like it weighs 20 pounds. Would owning a 13 pound ball be helpful, either for the 3rd game, or maybe to switch to 13 for all 3 games? I am currently throwing a 14lb. Hammer Viral(avg. 185) – would going to a 13lb. Viral or balling down to a lesser performing ball be the best thing to do? – Bruce Gray

Talk Bowling – Episode #122

Question from YouTube:

Q – I have an Ebonite Cyclone (my first ball) with a standard layout for length (since I didn’t have a ball to measure my PAP at the time). Later I got an IQ Tour Fusion and yesterday got an Optimus both with the same layout. (drilled for angular back end, I believe 3 3/8th PIN to PAP). I was previously dismayed that my Cyclone and IQ tour Fusion seemed to perform exactly the same despite the difference in cost. Now I’m really confused because the Optimus also gives me the same as the other two. Is this Normal? I can take the Fusion and find a nice line to the pocket, and the Optimus seems to be able to play that same line. Playing deeper in the Oil or more of the Track area doesn’t seem to matter. A few times I’ve even gotten Turkey’s Alternating Balls on the same line to the pocket.

Question from YouTube:

Q – Can a two-hander roll the inside part of the ball like pros?
