2019 Bowling - PBA Bowling Cheetah #2 Kyle Sherman VS. Matt McNiel

[@mattthomas1442]

Damn Sherman leaves a stone 9 then goes off the sheet. Helluva game.

[@HBK360MUSIC]

Sherm with a clean 290

You don't see that big of a score difference every day!

[@Ironfangzu]

Unless you go to that old Koivuniemi v. Tom Doherty match back in the day. 299-100. That's probably a score differential that will never be broken. Osku couldn't help but strike, while Doherty threw a split on pretty much every ball. it was amazing to watch. This is probably second place in terms of score differential.

[@Chicken_o7]

@@Ironfangzu Yeah that's the ultimate one lol, I think you meant Mika instead of Osku tho :)

[@russellgilbert3453]

First time I've seen Matt McNeil have a bad ball reaction.

[@mikegamer6104]

Sherman with a 138 lead holy crap

[@russellgilbert3453]

I never liked the Fever Pitch, anyway.

is belmo the narrator???

[@brohemianclapsody5509]

Probably shouldn’t have taken that bow

[@beeemm2578]

Sherman in a squeaker...

[@viruz883]

What was really sad about this for Matt was that his execution was basically perfect in both matches but his ball reaction was absolutely horrific. It takes a whole lot of skill to have that kind of mental game to still repeat when your results are that bad

[@viruz883]

TONALD DRUMP I can agree with that but what I was seeing was small speed, rev rate and axis adjustments something that is easier to manipulate and sometimes more reliable when on shorter patterns. Played on this cheetah pattern on the weekend at a tournament and feet moves didn’t do much for me I found myself making small changes with my hand and my speed. But the moves weren’t completely the point, to hit your target consistently and have the mental game to be able to do that when you aren’t striking is the hardest part of the mental game to get right in bowling and it’s incredibly impressive to see him be able to that. Even the best pros in the world can struggle with that side of the mental game

[@viruz883]

TONALD DRUMP I would say actually that I think it depends on the bowlers skill set, the difference between house and pro lanes is mainly the ratio. House is between 7/10-1 which just shows how huge that margin of error is because the pattern is designed to give you about 10 boards of area that you can hit the pocket with. PBA patterns are 1.3-1 meaning you have to be super accurate and need to stay most of the time in a similar part of the lane if you are reaching the pocket. If they are reaching the pocket and they have a skill set to make small small changes then they will because the ratio and the flatness of the pattern means that if they move the ball may not see the friction early enough or late enough and have no chance of hitting the pocket. Also well done you those are some very respectable scores! Me personally I haven’t played on a house pattern league in about 3 years back when I was 15 so I can’t say but on the odd occasion I play on house I average about 230. I’m a sports and pro pattern player and I tend to average around 205-210 or above on most

[@Ironfangzu]

He shouldn't have gone to that reactive ball. Every ball he threw with is was super light for a bucket 6 or through the nose. Just an awful decision.

[@gunz300]

One strike in two games for McNiel in that final on an easy pattern. That's a nightmare.

[@JohnAC4]

It’s also TV finals though
