2024 PBA Players Championship | Episode 5: Last Place | Jason Belmonte

[@dheijnemans]

Thank you for not cutting out the struggle and reflection, it means a lot to see up close how even you can have bad days, weeks or tourneys. Time for some relaxation and quickly move on.

[@JasonBelmonte]

relaxing for sure. Thank you for watching!

[@fg_14]

No matter the outcome, it's always a pleasure to watch you bowl.

[@glennterry6961]

I'm left handed sponsors always told me your a lefty Belmo so sorry I never took to heart ❤️ Always listen to God.....

[@DavidRodriguez-mp9nh]

I loved these episodes. As a newbie to competitive bowling I need to see people's journey to have a context. Your candid content is exactly what I needed to see. I get so mad, frustrated, and annoyed when I miss a simple spare or, worse, have a split. Watching your process, as the best who has ever played this game, gives me hope and strength along with wisdom for the next time I'm on the lanes. The next one (match and episode) is what I most look forward to. Thank you for allowing us to see your path.

[@36chambersthebest]

Between you and Darren Tang my love for the sport just keeps growing. As does my desire to improve! Thanks for these videos, and keep on strong with your work incredible prowess in the sport. Hope you feel better soon!

[@zeissmanzeissman5852]

One of your best videos yet even though you didn’t finish the way you wanted -it showed even the best in the world have their off days. Good luck at the US open🍀

[@JasonBelmonte]

My hope with these videos is that they are authentic and honest. What you see is how it is for me in the moment!

[@makyahhamilton8824]

I love watching these videos of everones shot to shot...love it

[@jeffgibson8655]

I could absolutely tell from the start of this video that you absolutely looked like you felt a LOT better. You are still the GOAT! No matter this outcome.

[@Dadpool_510]

Love the content Belmo. Can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings for you!!!

[@tyferry9595]

Maybe not the outcome you hoped for, but I always enjoy rooting for you along with E J and Simo. You three are the best bowlers on tour. Even though you three struggled, I know you three will be hungry at the U.S. open

[@kevintate768]

Last place? No sir! You made match play! Enough said! You’re sick and still made match play!

[@rshowers7590]

No sugarcoating from you. Right, wrong, done, undone. It was a good warmup!

[@antero.jrsarreal8116]

👍🥰❤️. JUST WARM up for the NEXT major tournament. ATTITUDE of BELMO EXCELLENT 🥰

[@glennterry6961]

Love u Belmo never give up God Bless Brother

[@BC2249]

Thank you, Jason, and good luck next week!

[@garyloomis4961]

Even though I am a 1 handed bowler. I love watching u Jason, you rock dude. Good luck next time......

[@NPMystikal]

BIG improvement in the editing from day one until now. Keep up the great content!

[@geoffnash3098]

Hang in there Jason this might be the tournament that will put you back in the winners circle. I like where you share with everybody how you feel about what bowling balls you like and don't like. Your strategy and your goals great videos. New week new tournament and now its your turn to win again.

[@DigemDeep]

It's really going to be much harder to win tournaments because the competition is so good. You have been sick too. I've been sick so I know what you are going through. Good luck the rest of the way!

[@scibbs188407]

You are truly the best, looking forward to hopefully finally meeting you when you guys come to steel City later in the year

[@daspeakeasies]

My son (and I) is looking forward to seeing you at the Bowl with the Pros before the US Open, going to be rooting for you all week!

[@michaelstusiak5902]

Hang in the Belmo!!

[@TwoHandedBowlerXD]

Great run and way to push through even when sick Belmo ❤❤ Always the Goat in my opinion and I’m so glad you’re getting better buddy ❤ Let’s win another Major this year!!!

[@No_Remorse_1188]

It's always a great day when we get to see you bowl and commentate it. I missed you in Syaracuse at flamingo but next time you're there I would absolutely love to meet you 🙂

[@akmalmustaqim8558]

You inspiried me to use two-hand bowl 🤜🤛

[@vergiljerome9126]

Another major is coming this year I can feel it!

[@BBDragon66]

#2HANDS The good times are sweeter after you've been through the rough patches.

[@SteveSmith-mx1bu]

I love watching you bowl. Unfortunately this was not your week. But i am 100% sure you will come out in the next one feeling allot better and bowl accordingly. When we are not feeling the best we cannot perform to our best. Even tho some people say this is not a sport. They are so wrong it 8s definitely a sport and takes allot out of you. Hope you are feeling better soon. Cant wait till next tournament

[@Ken_Leivonen]

Jason, sorry that you finished last in match play, it could have been worst and you could have not made match play. Like you said, it was a learning experience, Good luck at the US Open! Ken

[@craigheverly9868]

love the content

[@joeanderson9267]

Keep grinding!

[@lazylion1421]

So even the best bowler in the world can finish last. Makes me feel better about myself as finishing last is the only thing in bowling that I have truly mastered.

[@DefJamStL]

Keep your head high M8...and get well soon :)

[@kevinhall5627]

Truly, the most ridiculous scoring pace I recall seeing in my 50 years of watching the PBA majors.

[@edgargamboa5003]

Keep on bowling idol..it’s nice to watch you playing.

[@JasonBelmonte]

Thank you, I will

[@Kiura_]

Wouldn't be surprised if the next Tournament looks a lot different for you after this one. But been wondering all around in the top 24 the SPI guys usually used stronger balls like a Eternity Pi, Absolute Power, Reality and so on what made you choose the IQ Tour and the Hustle over those ?

[@poithink]

Where's the blog for the US open ! Spicy spicy

[@ricka.wetselphdbowler3526]

I know it was a disappointment to you. However, at least you got a $6,000 check. Most just went home in the hole. Look forward to your comeback in the OPEN

[@sandvb_bowl_golf_cantdecide]

Jason. Thanks for covering the reason you were lofting the ball right before you bowled prather. I had the same question in my head from the game before you bowled tom when you were throwing like 11 to 3-4. In the last game you moved into 13-14 and still went to 2-3 at the breakpoint. Whats the reason you decided to loft it earlier instead of moving in like you did the last game. Is it bc you are more susceptible to corner pins or some other reason. Great to see you bowling either way even though you were sick. Hope to see you in Mount Prospect in a month.

[@Jer0da0sniper]

You gotta take one for the team sometimes belmo, even the best bowler on the planet has off weeks. Certainly makes me feel better about shooting 140 in league 😂

[@Caddyshhack]

Just ordered my journey today!

[@JasonBelmonte]

Let's go! You're going to love it

[@Nailv]

It's ok it's the first tournament of the year

[@champions186]

See you in Indy this weekend I hope I can meet you at bowl with the pros

[@Shheeeeshhhhh]

What layout pattern do you use for the iq 78 U?

[@Terrafire34]

Just remember a very sick Jason Belmonte is a better bowler than 99.9% of the bowlers in the world.

[@michaelmclaughlin1958]

Last place? Truthfully just last of the qualifiers, much better than not qualifying. And under the weather in terrible weather makes it a much better result than apparent.

[@shainependergraft6248]

Hi there I was wondering if you are going to make more videos cause I love them a lot and are you still bowling to ?

[@debbiesteele8124]

Wishing u getting better

[@rogerowensby3093]

You got to have the bad tournament in order to appreciate the good tournaments

[@Travelmoments452]

Have a question, I am trying two hand approach. I am using 14 lb ball. I get more hook when I was doing one hand approach. But my two hand ball Brooklyn a lot, missing the pocket. I know I can speed up my steps, roll more straight or use a ball that hooks less but let’s say I like a high hook ball and want to keep everything the same, no changes so in that sense if I use a lighter ball but the same ball I was using for 14lb ball, am I able to push the lighter ball down the lane more?

[@frommi_24]

Does anyone know if we get Vlogs from the US Open. Because the stepladder Final is tomorrow and nothing was postet since know ?

[@pamelabarbee2487]

Evidently not. Maybe Belmonte figured the vlogs were a distraction and decided not to do any for the Open.

[@frommi_24]

@@pamelabarbee2487 I would not say Evidently. Look what he did last year at the TOC, with the vlog in his back.

[@mardogaming1999]

Any way to get a trend 2 ball?

[@ryanchin9231]

bowling tournaments are a grind to compete week in and week out. hihi

[@JasonBelmonte]

You got that right!

[@shainependergraft6248]

Hi there my name is Shane are you going to make more videos and are you still in the pba ?

[@emmateti6130]

hey belmo random question: if you shoot your car bits in LOG will they be less blown out? Unsure if your phone/camera has LOG options but it might help the blinding white. Feel free to ask if you need an explainer on LOG and stuff -- film student here :)

[@emmateti6130]

also thanks for showing the hard days, as others have said. enjoying this series a lot.

[@emmateti6130]

also like, some focus stuff that might be worth keeping an eye on as your head moves in your post match comments!

[@donaldlee255]

How do you think a summit would have done?

[@timothymarcus96]

How do you like the 78D IQ versus the Pitch Black, Belmo? Do you see much of a difference?

[@JasonBelmonte]

I think once I use the 78 a little more and find a drilling that fits best for my game I will see less issue with it. Currently this was the first week I had thrown the ball in tournament. So i am still learning it

[@1USACitizen192]

This guy is about the 15th best pba bowler all time, right after Marshal Holman

[@sandvb_bowl_golf_cantdecide]

I love Marino, Day, Johnson, Roth, Holman, Anthony, Williams, Voss, Aulby, Webers, Duke, etc..., but Jason is bowlings Jordan, Gretsky, Ali. He transcended and changed the sport as did all those greats that were also feared.

[@iwilrage]

Just watched the match against troup .Jason used and IQ..did horrible, like a 156 or something like thay ..but never changed balls .never used the journey ..would like to know why..the explanations here by him are invaluable!

[@bolllochead]

Belmo, you are the best! My wife always tells me to stop over thinking. Are you doing that because you are a little off form?

[@raypar4391]

If belmo was able to use pitch black we all know belmo would have dominated

[@robvoyles]

why could he not use a pitch black?

[@raypar4391]

@robvoyles Because they changed the rules of urethane so they didn't allow pitch black or I think the purple hammer that's why people were using the IQ tour 78 instead

[@craigheverly9868]

i saw you was really lofting the ball more

[@livarusgta8288]

Looks like you miss the pitch black belmo, you knew that ball more than you know the palm of your hand

[@JasonBelmonte]

I'll be just fine with the 78 soon enough!

[@sekiroenjoyer]

Since your the best already. Just for laughs u should try and win a regional 1 handed

[@RFEJES1]

You didn't finish last Belmo, you finished 24th

[@shainependergraft6248]

Hi there my name is shaine I love your videos are you still in the pba and are you still going to do the great Vedo ?

[@russellgilbert3453]

Yo, mate, not a lot of "Belmo carry" this week. 😮

[@snoochpounder]

While I appreciate the insights, there’s no doubt that the distractions of trying to shoot videos on the side takes away from the attention that needs to be focused on the win.

[@JasonBelmonte]

Actually I don't think it has that effect for me. If you go back through my channel you'll find that I've won a few times with the camera rolling behind me last season. If I felt like making this content was contributing to poor performances than I would most likely stop.

[@36chambersthebest]

@JasonBelmonte Glad you feel this way, these videos are inspiring and if you don’t feel that they are a hindrance to you please keep up the content!

[@mikekatura6657]

Belmo coulda been worst bud keep it up

[@nordattack]

The IQ78 was not shimming for you like I saw with the other players.

[@JasonBelmonte]

I'm still working on a drilling for one I really like. I'm sure I'll find it soon enough :)
