Keith Tantillo of the Coke Classic League also cashed in the event. In addition, Sean Richard won the non-casher high game prize and Ed Roberts the senior prize.

Apr. 26 practice video

April 27, 2011

As I hinted at in my last post, I also brought my pocket camcorder and tripod with me to practice and got some video. I did most of the shooting in the second game, but sort of struggled with my balance, so I worked on that, then got a shot in the last frame. My shot shown below is probably not “perfect” (though my release was a bit better, I think, than in the video I showed “CoachJim” many weeks ago), but I’m only posting it to give my readers an idea of how I’m playing the lanes, on the house shot, these days.

Those wanting a download can watch on YouTube, reload it by making the host read www.kickyoutube.com, and it will allow you you download it as an MP4 (which is the format I uploaded it as, anyway).

Video: Ed Greene’s 300 game

January 27, 2011

Thanks to Sandi Litchfield (who posted this on Facebook), for the first time on this blog, you will see a big local bowling moment: the final strike of Ed Greene’s 300 game last night. Greg Banks, a teammate of Ed’s, captured the moment for YouTube:

I believe the first coming up to Ed to congratulate him is Bob Young, our esteemed Brockton Bowling Association manager.

My first bowling videos

May 10, 2009

A couple of items of administrivia before we get to the meat of this post: first, I have created a “Videos” category for use when I post my own bowling video to the blog; second, the “Author’s Links” sidebar section now has a link to my videos on YouTube.

Now, for what I’ve been wanting to do since I started bowling again: get video of myself online. I’ve come up with two short videos, one with a side view (useful for illustrating my timing) and one with a back view (useful for showing swing plane and release). The side view first…videos will be embedded in posts from YouTube, but there will also be a link for downloading for those who wish to analyze them frame by frame:

Download video above (WMV format)

Now the back view:

Thanks go out to my best friend, Ed, who was involved with the filming and editing, and to “saito`” on EFnet IRC for hosting the downloads. :D
