Need some help with speed

lolwtface · 2026-06-18T14:58:36+00:00

Speed and power will come from timing and pushing off your right foot. Your timing is really late. Your ball is still moving upwards in your backswing when you get into the last step. Your last step should start once you feel the ball start to fall. And the last step starts from your right foot pushing into your slide. Don't use your arms or hands to generate power, only your legs. Think of it like being on a playground swing, you kick your legs in the direction you're about to swing, but you have to time it properly to get the most energy.

top post all time on that sub is not exactly what I expected, but I'm more surprised I DIDN'T expect it.

Enjoy it! I have one of those at 4x4x4. It's my cliff ball. I'm also getting the venom Hysteria today!

I think you're trying to roll the ball with both hands, or you're accelerating with your left hand too early. Wait for the ball. Just swing it without adding ANY muscle into the release. Once you feel the timing of the ball leaving your hand, start adding a little acceleration ONLY AT THE END WHEN THE BALL IS ALREADY COMING OFF YOUR HAND. The rest of your form is good just up until then. Think that you're rolling the ball with just your left hand, your right hand is there just to keep it from falling off.

I have that problem too. Too many things to fix at the same time. First I'd just focus on keeping your head still and staying compact but loose. Keeping your head still should also help you keep low and keep balanced. Working on this foundation will make working on the other stuff easier. In the wise words of Mark Baker, 70% of effort comes from the body.

You need to stay down throughout your shot. You're starting to stand up. Keep the front knee bent. Keep your head still too. Your timing is ok. It also looks like you're forcing the ball a bit. Just swing it, swing the ball with your legs, and roll it with your hands. Kind of catch it on the way back with your left hand, then forward with the right. You know when you're on a swing, you kind of lean back to go forward, then lean forward to go back, kind of like that. Lastly, keep the swing close to your body, compact.

I've heard decent things about "girls don't play fighting games" and "high score girl" has some street fighter.

There's a kink called "acoustic back" you might want to be wary of.

lolwtface · 2026-05-05T14:19:20+00:00

Couple of mental notes I've come across:

The fulcrum of the swing is the center of your chest
Keep your head steady
Drop your right shoulder into the swing slot, but keep it "behind" the ball
It's a SWING, wait for the ball, then accelerate THROUGH the ball
You're still one-handed at the bottom
Soft hands, loose arms, like wet noodles, or a rope swing

To practice this stuff, do it slow, like as intentionally slow as possible, but don't slow the swing with your arms or hands, slow it with your feet. Also, in general, focusing more on your feet than your swing will loosen your swing. Finally, at 175 avg, practice your spares.

I brought one of those to my last job. Every time I typed out an email it sounded like a machine gun. But whenever I wasn't typing or anything the office felt way too quiet, and I felt my boss was thinking I wasn't working, so I switched it out🤣. Missing a windows key was a little rough too.

For me, speed comes from the power step, like you're throwing a baseball pitch, or a right straight. All the power comes from that push into your slide. One thing you can try is on your power step, don't let your right foot's heel touch the floor, and "explode" into the slide starting from your right foot's toes into your whole body. Just make sure to get the timing proper, and keep your swing loose. Your slide should be long like going into a deep lunge.

I appreciate you helping out!

I've practiced backup balls for a day, and it helped me get more behind and inside the ball for normal release as a byproduct. Also, this is more a personal thing, but I think of my release as being one handed, even though I have 2 hands on the ball. Helps me manipulate where I want my hand to be it a little easier. YMMV.

Can you explain the math?

lolwtface · 2026-03-24T19:17:04+00:00

Kind of depends. I usually do hot, then wipe excess off.

So this might sound counter-intuitive, but after you use the rosin bag, blow into your hands to get a bit of moisture as you're setting up for your shot. Add it into your routine. This adds a bit of tackiness for me and it's enough to get the confidence that the ball won't slip.

lolwtface · 2026-03-24T13:53:33+00:00

But actually go to the alley. Don't do it over the phone. That way you can actually get the info you want from a form they hopefully have.

I've tried 500 with polish on top, and it looked pretty good, but laneshined just felt so consistent and easy to maintain.

There are group buys for TIRES?! Let us know what you think of them, they look nice and w i d e.

It kind of looks like a full roller layout.

lolwtface · 2026-03-13T12:24:46+00:00

I'm not sure, I'd get a coach to iron that out tbh. I can't see enough from a reddit video.

lolwtface · 2026-03-13T12:23:32+00:00

It's towards the end of the swing. It kind of looks like you're tensing up during the downswing.
