Former Team USA 3x gold medalist, and head bowling coach of Davenport University Mike Eaton Sr. and his son, PBA member Mike Eaton Jr. show off 3 different drills, including at-home versions of said drills that will help you get rid of your hit-up or “meathook” as Eaton Jr. calls it, in no time, as well as teaching you the importance of having a soft release, and how hitting up on the ball may be costing you a consistent ball reaction.

Seeing as this video is getting quite a bit of traction and great feedback, if you’d like to see Mike bowl in competition, see our MMSC finals series. He and his father also did commentary in the 2021 $10,000 memorial day classic tournament finals. All of those can be found on our channel. Enjoy!

This is literally one of the best videos on YouTube for drilling release!

This is by far one of the best instructional videos I've come a cross on how to release the ball to get rotation on your ball just excellent. Even though it was made 2 years ago

Thank you! The drills demonstrations and explanations are invaluable. I do not think I have come across a video yet that defines the release drills so well verbally and visually.

I found the thumb hole being tight or snug is a joke. Everything about bowling has changed except the grip? Best fix is to go with a bigger thumb hole & extend the distance between your thumb & finger holes. Your thumb will slide out naturally giving you a smooth delivery with increased rev rate.
