no wonder jack perfect wong is out of the national squad. he is totally dependent on the guardOriginally posted by enginboi:Wearing a guard can indeed improve your consistency of your release if used correctly. however you will become dependant on it. It all depends on the level which u are playing, if u just for leisure using a handguard would be fine, however if u are moving towards advance bowling, handguard will not be recommended as it restricts certain bowling style. that is why singapore national team bans the use of handguard totally
ya that is true to a certain extent, but more because of his temper when the lane condition does not go his way. But nevertheless you can see that he is very very consistent, bcos of the guard.Originally posted by jasmine17:no wonder jack perfect wong is out of the national squad. he is totally dependent on the guard
isn't that wat i mean?? if u use a handguard you cannot play the cranker style, or wat we call "power bowling". it is true that in order to play power bowling your ball must be drilled for power bowling, which means your thumb pitch must be forward instead of backwards. it is meant to delay the ball release to create more rev. but vice versu is not true, you can use handguard to play with almost any drilling, unless u r a spinner.Originally posted by de_middle:What rubbish, the singapore team isnt using handguarda bcoz the are using cranking style, use handguards only if ur balls are drilled for it.
Cranking ur throws makes it powerful on the return but u must have sufficient strength to launch ur throws & pray hard that lane is suffciently oiled to at least 27feet & stripped clean after or GOOD LUCK
u will know why oiling is so important if ur adopting cranks, look at remy ony & team singapore who went to safra mt faber b4 the world cup & they screwed on every shot, but goes on to say, it will be oiled correctly when tournament starts.
Happy Bowling![]()
yes that is correct. handguard restricts high rev, and hence does not work for crankersOriginally posted by bowler200482:but i tot the guard would restrict ur release to a certain amount.. causing the release not enuf to produce the large number of revs, which the cranker produces??
n that's y the national squad do not use guards?? cuz alot of them r crankers not tweeners or strokers..Originally posted by enginboi:yes that is correct. handguard restricts high rev, and hence does not work for crankers
you can say so, cos now the trend is favouring power bowling, or wat you would call cranker. The old stroker style is sort of out dated already. But spinners are stil around thou. the reason is simple, power bowling is about areA bowling, which means so long as cranker is able to hit his target area of a few boards, his chances of strike is high, whereas for strokers, they only can the comfort to hit 1 to 2 boards target in oreder to strike.Originally posted by bowler200482:n that's y the national squad do not use guards?? cuz alot of them r crankers not tweeners or strokers..
