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. 😀
