Coach Rivera goes Bowling


Mr. Scot

Panthers.com : Ron Rivera's 2nd Annual Bowl-a-Palooza

 

Mrs. Coach is in the video too (she always comes off as a really cool lady). 

 

Video is reported by Sammi-Jo Francis who I've seen in a couple of team site videos (she's good).  Pretty good player participation too .  The video had Kuechly, Charles Johnson and Greg Olsen, among others.

 

Based on what I saw of Olsen's bowling technique, i'd say it's a good thing he's a football player :lol:  There's an insane shot by Jason Williams near the end of the clip though.  Rivera seemed to indicate that Williams is the team's best bowler.

 

Fun clip.

After watching that "how the @%$& did he do that" shot he makes at the end of the clip, I'd say he's right.

 

I'm no bowling expert but man... :unsure:

 

 

Nuthin but a lefty putting a little turn on the ball getting the 3-9 sleeper.  Text book shot though.

 

Pretty easy to make a ball hook like that if you have your own ball and it is a finger tip grip.

 

That looked like his own ball. 

 

That looks like something I want to do one year.

lefties almost always have natural curve to their ball, it was good pick up for a spare.  He would make a  good member on a league team.

A couple of things contribute to that.  The left side of the lane is used less and if oiled properly at the beginning of the day will hold up better so it is more consistent and slides better.  Secondly if the balls are stock ones from the bowling alley they are drilled in the middle and not offset or weighted.  To get spin you have to use wrist action. But if the ball is his own and customized it will often be weighted and offset specifically so it will spin naturally.  Some folks even have a different ball if they want to throw flatter and with less spin like when they are making spares.
