Agreed, bowling is a great sport for so many young people. I always enjoy watching them bowl at t lanes I bowl at … these competitive bowlers are a good and a good example for youth today. I found the jumping around a bit too distracting, but the concentration while bowling was really good.

I like the Baker style college bowling, but the overdone & excessive pattycake hand slapping gets very old, very quickly.

[@feverdream2661]

[@MsEeyore14]

Leaving a 10 pin and having to high five your entire team is just a little bit excessive

[@Swaggletail]

I agree. That would just hurt my concentration.

[@dookiehoser3051]

this is what happens in bowling. you encourage your teammates regardless of result.

@@dookiehoser3051 I’m a 230 avg bowler and bowled on many all star teams lol this only happens in girls bowling men don’t leave 10pins and high five each other I’ve bowled 100s upon 100s of baker tournaments Bud thanks for the comment tho clown

[@dookiehoser3051]

@MsEeyore14 lol I have been bowling for 32 years of my life and I'm a man. I bowl 5 pin and at provincial events you give high fives regardless of result. Positive energy and supporting one another is important to any team. You aren't giving a high five for the miss. You are giving a high five to encourage them for the next shot.

[@melodicchronic5181]

Because you can only have a 5-man roster bowling baker games, just like baseball on you can only have 9 guys on a field

It's so they don't get in the way of the TV cameras. There are tape lines on the floor that they are asked not to go over while the bowler is in their approach.

[@ellenworner6333]

[@crondawg101]

23:00 Why did Carolyn not say that “rev rate” is number of revolutions the ball makes in one minute?

[@apfeiffer7606]

I was wondering the same thing. She didn’t even answer the question of what “rev rate” means and didn’t sound like a pro whatsoever. Honestly both these broadcasters/announcers were bad. I like watching but they made it rough that’s for sure.

[@jefffranks92]

How long has bowling been a collegiate sport? Are there high schools that offer bowling as a sport?

[@teejay6063]

Take a page out of Faith Welch's book: At set position, hold the weight of the ball and push the ball off with your other hand. This makes it much easier to initiate a pendulum armswing from before the shot starts. She really shows off that skill well. When they taught us that at school it was so uncomfortable at first, but it becomes natural.

[@brianfox2930]

Yeah, really served her well too 🤣 🤦‍♂️

The use of those absurd wrist-positioner brace gloves should be banned across any serious competitive level, certainly the NCAA Championships. Come on, you can't learn to hook a ball without training wheels at this level? It's shameful. Be better ladies.

@Reclaimer77 Letting grown men live in their mom's basement and then proceed to attack and bash everything on the internet, especially when they can't do better is shameful. Come on mom's be better. Start shutting off the WiFi to the basement.

[@procrastinator6902]

​@@gunner-qf9ehI agree with him for the most part. I think the USBC should follow the PBA lead and ban wrist positioners altogether. Supporting and controlling the ball is a vital skill to the game and one that should be developed, not done for you. Either develop the strength to do so or switch to a lighter ball. That said, altho I do agree with the core message behind the comment I don't really think there was any call to insult the bowlers.

[@gunner-qf9eh]

@procrastinator6902 Here is the issue. Is the USBC a pro league? It isn't. You have millions of amateur bowlers that have USBC Cards and bowl in USBC certified leagues all over the country. So how far do we go with this? Do we tell Joe's Rubber Tire League in Sun Baked New Mexico they can't use wrist positioners? Where does this rule start and where does it end in the confines of the USBC? College bowling is an amateur sport, not professional. It's easy to say this stuff on the internet. But implementation of this rule across the USBC is opening pandoras box.

[@procrastinator6902]

@@gunner-qf9eh Just my personal opinion on the matter. For practice or whatever that's fine, but I don't think they should be allowed for any sanctioned competition. I've actually held this opinion long before the PBA ever ruled on the matter. Yes it's an amateur league, but even in amateur leagues we don't allow things like gutter guards, 2 handed releases, or ball ramps for the same reason wrist positioners shouldn't be allowed...they take away from a skill that should be developed, not done for you, to overcome the challenges of the game.

[@gunner-qf9eh]

@@procrastinator6902 And what do you do with the........let's say 60-year-old couple that wants bowl in your league and the wife has wrist issues from a previous injury, and the positioner helps her bowl pain free like thousands of people every year. Do we discriminate against the wife and her injury, and tell her she can't bowl Tuesday night sanctioned league? I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.
