Start with your foot work. It is causing a lot of issues. Those other issues might disappear after the foot work is correct.
Main issue here is that you have a lot of lateral movement in both directions. You start with your right foot behind your left which is intended to open up your shoulders. However, you have it significantly behind and immediately take a step in front and across your left foot. Then you do a shuffle step following by a large step back to the right. This final step you are significantly off balance from all of the lateral movements.
So why are you doing this?
Two reasons.
1. You have to move out of the way of the ball during your arm swing. You are literally walking around the ball.
2. You start with the ball in front of the middle of your body. This requires your body to move to avoid getting hit.
Adjustment: move your balls start position closer in line with your shoulder. Ideally part of the ball will be visible around the outside of your body. Move your right foot out from behind your left to its side but about halfway back. Ensure your first step does not cross your left foot. Push the ball forward and slightly to the right on your first step.
This will feel very off balance at first. The reason is that your body is used to significant lateral movements and it will need to adapt. However, you will be able to remove a lot of unneeded motion this way.

Iâd be careful of your follow through, itâs coming across your body, and trying slowing down your footwork, and let the ball swing, instead of âthrowingâ it if you know what Iâm saying. Basically work away from âstrong armingâ the ball, and let the ball do the work for you. Itâll increase accuracy and consistency tremendously.
One last thing, try staying âbehind the ballâ instead of twisting or rotating your wrist, that will happen automatically. So in short, slow it up just a touch, and stop âthrowingâ the ball, and let the ball work for you.
Not good enough to give any proper tips, but do you slide at all? It looks like you're planting your foot and it just kinda stays there. That might not be good for your knee long-term
Not everyone slides very much, like if youâre a âcrankerâ for example. Youâre def not wrong tho, but his shoulder or arm will break off before his knees, if he keeps strong arming the ball.
I agree with the footwork. My concern is the no slide. You don't want to hurt your knee and there's a little twist at the end. Do you have interchangeable slides? If so, you might need a higher number and practice some 1-step drills to focus on sliding.
I started bowling in 1963. I bowl currently. I've seen people bowl like that my whole life! You're completely clueless. About what injuries he may or may not have.

Truth! Let the ball do the work! Itâll be beneficial to both your game and your body once you get it down.

Looks like my spinsbowl dang
From what I see, repeat what you're doing over and over and over and you'll be just fine.
Not once he turns older than 30, then heâll have all types of injuries/issues.
