Andrew Anderson, Chief Information Officer at The Shyft, has released several instructional videos on bowling technique and equipment. In a video on ball fit, Anderson described proper fit as "the most important part of bowling" for one-handed bowlers and demonstrated how to check span and pitch, stating that a correctly fitted ball should require "zero pressure to the thumb hole" and that the thumb should "fly out of the ball" upon release. He also discussed the difference between bowling ball cores and coverstocks, asserting that "the cover of the bowling ball is definitely by far the most important" because it creates traction on the lane, while the core dictates hook potential. Anderson explained that surface adjustments, such as changing grit from 500 to 4,000, can alter ball motion significantly. In other content, Anderson demonstrated an arsenal-building strategy for the USBC Nationals in Las Vegas, describing his approach as "filling a golf bag" with balls of varying strength and motion to adapt to different lane conditions. He stated that variety in ball motion is crucial and that "just because the ball doesn't look good at that very moment doesn't mean it's not going to look good later in the day." Anderson also participated in a challenge devised by Jillian, where he attempted to score exactly 243 without going over, using a Subzero Forge ball. He finished with a 279, remarking, "I lost at the game... first real game of me bowling some competition with this ball is 279, I'll take it."
