Maybe I am missing something here. I don't see the spine tilt. The right side bowlers eye isn't in the middle of the ball. (he is left handed). The ball is on his left side at the top of the backswing not completely behind his head or his his head on the inside of the ball. He looks like he is standing almost straight up in that. The ball goes from the left side of his head straight down and almost his his left foot and he is very close to it. I don't think you could get closer at all.

I think that is contributed to the swing. He has like a perfect swing. The reason that the ball doesn't get closer to someone's ankle is because their swing is off. (I have looked at some of my videos and see that I am swinging in different directions. Even practicing with no ball I tend to pull my elbow too far inside and that is overexgurating the motion.

I believe that if you do spinal tilt, then you ball is suppose to be between your foot and your head and he doesn't do that at the end. So the key to getting this ball to the foot is a complete loose straight swing. I am going to buy this bowling buddy XL swing thing and do alteast an hour a day for a few weeks with it and see what happens then.

Someone tell me if the analysis of the video I am seeing is correct. I am not saying don't do spinal tilt but that isn't the key factor in how he did that.

You already have a coaches advice to fix your game, do what they say and work on your lower half first.

what do you mean by lower half? is that footwork? Getting right foot more out to the left? I started going back to the gym 3 days ago. Every day so far 1 hour elipical on the highest setting I can take and still finish the hour. (stuck at 3-4). As I am typing this, I am going to the gym to work on the shoulder and then another 1 hour eliptical which I don't feel like doing. Lower body half will be extremely strong in about a month or two.

I am going to see if I can get jim's video on sunday. I had to bowl on thursday because if I didn't they had to forfeit. By taking your advice about late timing I didn't feel any shoulder pain at all 44boyd. I used the time to practice doing things that I shouldn't been practicing on (which was trying to get my hand in that certain potion at the bottom of the swing like the foul line drill). Looking back on these videos I did, every arm swing I did was to one side or another or looped a little. Now gym time.

I would post all your questions and ideas in one topic ala “help Nord score on house shot” so you have a record of what good advice and coaching you’ve already been given. Glad you’re feeling better, don’t overdo it.

Quick comment about camera angle.
Mark Baker takes video from behind the bowler's shoulder. The tv camera angle is not necessarily for coaches analysis, their angle for introduces what I believe can be called an error of parallax.

Submitted for comparison and contrast.

There arent too many people, let alone bowlers, as flexible as Anthony Pepe.
Try NOT tearing your biceps muscle swinging the ball that high without spine tilt.
I dare you.

As me for trying that swing, I'd start with no ball, then ping pong ball, might get to tennis ball :lol:

Excellent point about physiology. That's one of the points Juha made in an ETBF presentation. He also made a remark about how many folks try to copy Fagan.
Success tends ton breed emulation.

Robert Lawrence as a right hander had a pretty high swing.
He switched to Left handed after a torn rotator cuff.
Rick Steelsmith had a career changing shoulder injury.
All reasons why a fitness and flexibility regimen are important.

Different people get it done within their physiology. Many times I will advise people to study elite bowlers with similar body structure, size musculature, for example.
Not infallible but a reference to see how they get the job done.

I can see why or think I do, why Jim has used Doug Kent in some of his wiki articles.
