Spinning
-
Hi guys,
I only recently adopted spinning and have yet to get my technique right. Any tips to throw a good spinner? I'm currrently bowling with houseballs at 11lbs. Spin doesn't seem to be fast enough. Noticed that my ball also tends to hook from the left to right by about 2 to 3 boards.
I'm a right hander with anti clock wise spin.
Pardon me as I am not good with the terminologies used in bowling.
Also, what kind of balls should a spinner use?
Looking to invest in equipment as well!
Many thanks! -

huh? got hook?
maybe try lighter balls?
my usual reactive ball is 14lbs when i was bowling and i found it a bit light.. wanted to get a heavier one when i did my back in..
i was spinning with 9lb or 10lb houseballs.. and if you spin it like a top, they tend to go very straight?
mine did

For beginner, no need to discuss too much on technical, juz practise, practise and practise.
Free Lession #1
1. Spin on spot(Get the hang on how to spin), can do it at home too.
2. Try it on the lane on 20(Centre Arrow), 25 and 15. all heading towards 1/3 pockets, nothing else. (min. 3-5 games each)
Do up a table, Take own notes on each practises on the followings;
Where you stand(1st or 2nd row of dots on approach)? where you aim(which board)?, how many steps? hit/miss pocket?
Sounds simple enough rite?, try it out and come back tell us what is your findings/learnings -

thanks for the tips, gonna get myself down to the alley in the afternoon for some spinning. Maybe check out ken's as well. many thanks -
no 1.) hook>spin
no coach will tell u to spin, unless of cuz its natural
normally spinners buy 11 lbs balls.
i personally started out spinning when i started bowling cuz hse balls were conventional. my frist ball was conventional too, so i ended up spinning a 12 lbs urethane ball.
but after awhile, decided spin was not for me, cuz i always tended to "under turn", and felt very weird
RH spin is anti clockwise btw, and will back up. -
YEA!!! we nid more spinners.. haha too mani stroker n power stroker le... the other kinda bowlers like extinct le... hahaa

Hi unclebutcher
Agree with what you said
"no coach will tell u to spin, unless of cuz its natural"
The reason is quite similar to the Cranker, there are not many who know's how to coach Helicopter Spin here in SG as well, but we can't denied the fact that ther are many who can do it well in SG.
These days, especially for the younger generation, if really is seriuosly considering to take up bowling as "Core Activities" or hoping to make it to the National Team one day, it is strongly recommended to learn to bowl with heavy balls, Stroking, Tweening, Cranking(Power Bowling), Sid Allen which SBF had engaged as (I think) adviser had strongly recommended Power Bowling.
One of his favourite subject is Wu Siu Hong of HKG , considering being "small" in build, but a powerful bowler, He hopes to see more Power Bowler coming out from Asia, if Wu SH can do it, so can the rest, coz its the technique, sadly
not many coaches here can coach a power bowler.
Yet........ 
However, for those who are not going that distance, all styles of bowling can be considered as OPTIONS, including Spinning.
My simplest or rather the "lamest"
reason for going for spinning is most economical, literally "Having 1 ball will travel" and "Happy go Lucky"
And if Luck can count, it can go all the way to string as many strike as one can hope for........., I did

im big in size. but i cant do power bowling. its really very very difficult. your timing has to be exact. so im just contented with high speed stroking. my ball speed is around 17.5 mph(timed before). though i do get quite a number of revolutions i think still considered stroker, maybe tweener at mostOriginally posted by Spook:These days, especially for the younger generation, if really is seriuosly considering to take up bowling as "Core Activities" or hoping to make it to the National Team one day, it is strongly recommended to learn to bowl with heavy balls, Stroking, Tweening, Cranking(Power Bowling), Sid Allen which SBF had engaged as (I think) adviser had strongly recommended Power Bowling.
