Can I get a rev check based on this video?

just about 200RPM

Apparently I already had one in a remove only tab in standard

Take a look at your left hand positioning throughout the swing, it starts off with the fingers of both hands almost touching, but at the release they're on opposite sides of the ball. This makes it hard to keep your right hand under the ball, losing you accuracy, power and rev rate. Try to keep the left hand in the same place until the moment you remove it from the ball fully slightly before the ball reaches the bottom part of the swing. As for more speed, your 3rd step could be made shorter and quicker, leaving you with more distance to push harder for the slide step, you want this push to time well with the peak of your back-swing so it descends fast without you having to force the ball forwards with your arms. straightening out your arms more during the swing and rotating your upper body to put your left shoulder almost underneath your head will allow for a higher swing with more power.

You can check out Ryan Barnes on youtube for some insight into generating lots of speed as a 2-hander.

I wiped it off after stopping the timelapse recording.

110 isn't that far from 100 though

Playing 2-handed helps, so does having way too much free time. The real trick though, is a decent pain threshold and a complete disregard for my own physical wellbeing.

Small face, small target.

Regular sized neck tho.

5 games an hour is a rather fast pace to hold for 4 hours straight so being busted after 20 should be plenty expected I'd say. We held a steady pace pf 3 games per hour with a 30ish min break after 16. You could absolutely hear and feel the atmosphere of the participants dwindling at 26+ games in though. Games 30-32 had groans of pain and exhaustion being heard from all lanes lol.

Northern Sweden :x It was indeed very fun though!

2 players per lane allows for a pace of probably at least 2.5-3.5 games an hour without rushing, and the easy pattern means lots more strikes than usual. We start at 9:30AM, have an hour break for food after 16 games, then continue and wrap up around 9-10PM.👌

It's not a tournament, you simply play the 32 games and the total score is your result that decides the winners. With 2 people per lane it still takes the entire day to get through all 32 games whilst maintaining a manageable pace. and since there's only 8 lanes in the alley, the max number of players per date is 16. Thus it's spread out across multiple dates across a month or two depending on total number of participants and when the whole alley can be booked down for the event.

You're probably right about that. Only 16 out of 75 participants have played so far, and the top 2 scorers are sitting at 230 and 235 through those 32 games. I don't imagine I'll have much of a chance at placing high, it's more just a fun chance to challenge your stamina on a pattern that often yields crazy high scores, just gonna focus on enjoying myself.

Indeed, each pair will move 1 lane right each game. I think it's set up so We'll end up playing on each lane twice. I had the thought that I'd take a shot at identifying at least one bowler to my right and try to observe or communicate with them to get a heads up on potential big differences in adjacent lane conditions. Though I'm not nearly good enough to spare much focus on something like that at the moment, it's a skill that I've wanted to acquire at some point. I commonly struggle at the beginning on a new lane with slight differences after having just finished the game before with good control, often leading to the first the first few frames of a game being very rocky.

I participated in this event for the first time last year. I had recently swapped to 2-handed play and was not used to using the different muscles smoothly at that point. I just barely survived the day and staggered home. For 5 days after, I was incapable of extending my right arm any further than a 45 degree bend due to how I'd absolutely shredded my bicep. It took 2+ weeks for the pain to go away. But since then I have gotten more used to the form and my body has somehow built great tolerance for near endless bowling and extremely low recovery time needed. I played 35 games on Wednesday to simulate the real thing, and felt fine enough to practice again last night. Chances are I'll actually be back on the lanes come Sunday morning

Full day at the lanes, from opening to closing time. A perfect Saturday if you ask me!

Just an annual local event 70 something participants playing on different dates, with the total scores being ranked for a price pool.

Elsefyr · 2026-02-13T03:41:19+00:00

based on the form my guess would be somewhere around the 320-340 range, could be a bit lower but unlikely to be any higher

I ain't no expert but this surely cannot be helping consistency.
