254 Average Bowler VS 220 Average Bowler - INSANE scores with ANCIENT bowling balls

[@220avg]

There are spoilers in the comments. I’d advise not reading any further if you haven’t finished the video yet

[@ebandpey2364]

Thank you

[@robertcuratolo5339]

😆 Try this on your next video against him 🎱{It's called duckpin}

[@GetBentTTV]

i have an amf amflite magicline bowling ball 16lbs that I would love to see make it into one of your vids bowling with old rubber bowling balls

[@jaywhey8822]

Wow, not only did he match his average, homie threw a 300 with a 47 year old ball. That was genuinely impressive!

[@ripvanrevs]

LT-48 was the 🐐 until the purple Hammer came along!!

[@HaOsLsE]

+1 you mathed better than they did. :D

[@jaywhey8822]

And 100 likes on any bowling video comment is impressive, thanks guys!

[@aekay6756]

Awesome. Top comment.. spoiled the whole video

[@emanuelorozco3443]

Why’d you spoil it😭😑

[@ForrestKritzer]

Only Aaron could help a customer in the middle of the game, come back several minutes later and still shoot 300🐐

[@TheRealFraen]

dude thats insane to me! i would've pulled something and threw it in the gutter XD

[@marcmaz21]

He could be the ultimate bowling hustler. Show up wearing average clothes, no special gear and a 47 year old ball. AWESOME! 😎

[@AGND912]

and still managed to do a side quest mid game

[@kooringagnd]

His grandfather was Ernie McCracken.

[@jenniferboone-sz1lo]

"For the People" "Yeah, some of us have to work" I can't take it, I'm just gonna throw money.

[@220avg]

🥹 thank you jen! Is this how the dancers feel

[@jenniferboone-sz1lo]

@@220avg everyday, luv, every day.

[@Samuel-xs2yv]

I'm more impressed by him reading every shot off your release than his score. Dude's a beast

[@ACommentFromYouTube]

The man hits 300 with a ball that old and was iced in the 5th frame. Definitely a pro shop guy I’d like to have around

[@surfinbird208]

Could watch him bowl all day, the form was so simple

[@nathancummins968]

Congrats Aaron on the 300. 220 another banger of a video. Keep up the good work.

[@vernbale777]

Just proves if you are accurate and have a good consistent action you don't need a top end reactive ball to bowl a 300 game, SUPER effort dude 👍

[@brianelwood3040]

Great bowling. Easy to see how he can average 254, being able to throw a ball that old without any practive and shoot 300.

[@alanepley4326]

Hope to see more of Aaron in future videos. I love his form!

[@220avg]

Same, grew up watching him crush league week after week!

[@thomasrogers7540]

Watching a 300 game never gets old. This was fun to watch.

[@Kushiren]

cleans a ball mid match. what a legend

[@mpup54]

a couple resurfaces later he shoots 800

[@CarlosPerez-io1rq]

aaron bowled like an 850 in one of my leagues absolute goat

[@edpaserba3330]

Two of the best balls of their eras. My Dad and Granddad had Black Diamonds. I had two LT 48s. They were amazing!

[@NipkowDisk]

It's truly great to see a 300 rolled with a less-than-modern bowling ball! Still have my Roto Star X-2 hard rubber ball that I got for my 15th birthday back in 1975... used it a few months ago since it still fits.

[@nordattack]

WOW! True Vintage Bowling at its best.

[@joepalmer9877]

That was an amazing game to witness. Thanks for the content on a great sport.

[@bengrimm1222]

I had a 300 with a LT-48...in the 80s...with a ball drilled for my hand. Very impressive Aaron!

[@michealmaley3566]

Back in the "Day" The LT48 was the "Bomb." 1979 I roll 823 with a 300 using an LT. obviously technology has moved on. It was great to see one of my old favorites still getting it done.

[@rickduran4429]

Great video! Congrats to Aaron on the 300!! That was cool to see!!

[@turtlejeremy6980]

As a 152 average bowler who just started in August, I just averaged 200 in my last 6 games at a tournament yesterday. Been averaging like 160-180 since my league ended. I can't wait until next year. I'm just getting better and so is my team, also, all the other teams' heavy hitters and all the top 5 averaging bowlers previously in the league are gone, so the high school championship is kind of up for grabs next year.

[@mpup54]

if you are getting handicap, you will be invaluable to the next team if you keep improving your game. I can tell you that big average jumps are possible. My first league season I averaged 156 conventional grip with a house ball (named Sally!), very similar to you. Got more interested and learned the game. Bought a couple balls and fingertip grip to my hand. That next year I averaged 187, joined the collegiate team. The following year (3rd year bowling) I averaged 214 and then left college because I graduated. +58 average from year 1 to year 3. I did not start bowling until I was 20 years old and I was an athlete. This was accomplished done during the urethane era and there were several honor score games with that equipment. All my equipment was urethane except for a Columbia blue dot used for spares and drier conditions.

[@jenniferboone-sz1lo]

And a day early !! Aaron even smiled. So cool.

[@martinboyd3672]

Love that shot , come over and just roll it up between 1st and 2nd arrow , so effortless so much easier than throwing it across lane and hoping its coming back .

[@yonson_racing]

Most impressive! '76 is not 57 years ago though, it's only 47...

[@tdextor]

They are bowling people, their math always carries 10 to the next frame! :D :D

[@benihana303]

Lmfao and Aaron went to help a customer mid-match and still shot 300. Amazing

[@bhcamaro2002]

I wanna see Aaron vs Forrest!

[@Jason_P]

This is great content, and it puts to bed the stupid notion that "weak" balls don't hit or carry. Far too many people think they only need to buy the biggest and strongest balls. They're just wrong.

[@itsgazzer186]

Just about finding the right angle

[@heshelk22]

And the new one's broke as soon as the new model is available

[@breathedeeep]

I don’t think it quite puts the argument to bed. The current technology in balls definitely helps. But this guy is…um…pretty good. You go out there and shoot your average for a set with a Johnny Petraglia and get back to us.

[@turtlejeremy6980]

I just averaged 200 in my last 6 games of a tournament I won yesterday, as a 152 average bowler, all because I took an older ball (not very old, like 2018 maybe?) And baked it, cleaned all the oil out, resurfaced it, and it worked like new. I have never averaged over 185 in 6 games, and never more than like 170 in 7, whereas I averaged 192 in the last 7

[@magsgarage4611]

When you are a natural talent like Aaron the equipment doesn’t matter nearly as much.

[@405adam]

This is very true. Great bowlers can bowl with any ball. If you limit your capability to specific balls you won’t develop versatility needed to compete at a high level

[@soyboy2238]

Pete Weber won a tournament with an AMF Bobcat.

[@kickintheace]

House shot obviously. There was a ton of forgiveness on the lane. Unless you threw a really bad ball. It should carry 90% of the time. This wasn't natural talent. My dad carries a 243 average at one alley and barely scraps a 210 at another one. The other alley hosts a rotating sports shot. That being said he still threw a 300 which is still impressive.... but more of like a golf clap kinda impressive. Seeing as he threw a good enough ball 12 times in a row. Still a hard feat when you are interrupted. 👏👏

[@Igloo3471]

​@@kickintheaceWhat a load of sanctimonious drivel. Absolute horeshit.

[@bebronspeedruns9817]

​​@@kickintheaceIt's skill tho, because he went to the pro shop to clean a ball, and still ended up bowling 300. Most people would forget about their line in total if they had to do a pro shop appointment as well as this, pattern would not matter.

[@tackywacky99]

old school bowlers have something the new school guys dont. versatility and consistency.

[@lo1bo2]

I chuckled and clapped after the 12th strike. That was fun!

[@joshg218]

Greatest video you've made. Insane

[@PyroProspectParagon]

Just..........damn. This only proves that it's not so much the ball as it is the bowler.

[@IAmTheEggMan111]

He bowls like Pete McCordick, an excellent PBA champion

[@chasbari]

Yeah, I can see why you would say that. Very similar!

[@mpup54]

he is pretty upright, that thud on the lane

[@met4lb4ze]

Aaron is a fkn animal dude!

[@thebigeasy8609]

LT-48 was THE ball back then! Good stuff Mr. 220 Average! !

[@220avg]

Thank you mr BigEZ!

[@mpup54]

what about the bumble bee?

[@hersheyskwertz9315]

Love how smooth his drop into the start of the swing is. Taking notes!

[@Nick.McIntyre]

Rematch needed. Rubber balls on sport patterns. Cheetah/dragon or something to see how rubber plays on the longer or shorter patterns

[@larrysayre824]

That was awesome, I was talking to a high school friend today and he mentioned that his son beat him bowling last week. He told me that they cannot find a duck pin bowling alley anymore and I tried to explain 10 pin would be better and that he should get a ball drilled for his son with right weight. I tried to explain new techniques in comparison to the way it was 40years ago, I probably have not been bowling in last 30 year's.

[@edt1cv2]

Walter ray uses the black diamond for spares at the moment which is pretty cool

[@keithscott4342]

No way!!! You were in my town!? I bowl league at Granada and Aaron is my proshop guy! Wish I had known! Would’ve loved to come down and meet you! Recently stumbled on your page. Love the content! Keep up the good work!

[@Brandonsc77]

Great video! Keep them coming!

[@JKnight51480]

Wow, he should go up against Belmonte on TV. Congrats on the 300 !

[@miker2338]

MiKeGonZo69 we need to pump this channel up! 🙂

[@JackpotsAfterDark]

I actually used to have the JP LT 48 . So funny to see it again . Awesome game

[@frankg.2949]

That was a great ball back then. Didn't the LT-48 come in a different color than black? Also wasn't there an LT-52? Never had one though. I had an old Brunswick T-3 Trac-Master. It was supposed to hook more than the T-1 and T-2. I threw the ball much straighter, and let the ball do the work. Classic stuff, and a great job with the 300.

[@louiemarcsalva]

I still use my Black Diamond that was passed on to me by my uncle. (i think this is the 1968 ball) and I absolutely love it especially on super dry lanes. Love this video.

[@BBDragon66]

That was a helluva good show!!!

[@Jbmccain86]

That’s nuts!!! Did you guys keep going to see if he can hit 900?

[@roboneil408]

Even the though the ball was before my time as a youth bowler, I can see why the Brunswick LT-48 was very popular. That ball was hitting hard and carrying everything, I mean some of his light pocket hits with that 47 yr. old bowl made mincemeat out of the rack especially shot 12, but there were 2 other "thrashers" and "blower" 5-7's.

[@brianschneck3423]

This is the definition on underground king of bowling … just an old alley rat ❤

[@makingspares]

Can I get a phase 2 vs venom shock? I can’t find a single Side-by-side comparison in the entire KZbin community. You might just be the first. 2’ol Goats

[@FishVisions]

Thats where Aaron went 😂 he use to own the pro shop at my alley ya couple years ago

[@matttf2538]

Aaron seems like a good guy. Very simple bowling style but it works. Looks like Scott Stapp haha.

[@jayminer8773]

Ha! I noticed the similarity between Aaron and Scott, too!

[@Amateurdiscgolfer]

it blows my mind how when they do these challenges that they almost as good as with their normal ball!

[@TraumaER]

Probably the greatest 300 ever because he worked during the match for a customer. 😂

[@SuperBroop]

Insane movement and explosive pin action with an old rubber ball.

[@samuelandmisty]

Old but gold!

[@roboneil408]

Especially the LT-48

[@chasbari]

To be fair, the Johnny Petraglia LT-48 is stronger.. much stronger, than the Black Diamond. I could barely keep the JP LT-48 on the lane unless there was a ton of oil back in the 1970's. The Tommy Hudson green LT-48 plastic was the one I shot my first 300 with in the late 1970's.. I can still line up and strike with it plenty. Same with a Star Trak Force 10.. it hits hard. Just doesn't carry the off hits near as effectively as the new stuff. Still.. mighty impressive. But I think 220 probably felt like he needed to help that older ball out just a little too much.

[@mpup54]

all you need it a blue dot...nothing more, nothing less. go plastic!

[@jimboscalawag8809]

Most people don't realize that the labe surface hooked a ton back then compared to today. I once used a zone pro on 44ft on a lacquer coated wood lane. Hooked ten more boards on a longer pattern

[@alexkollos8810]

Need to see rubber balls back on the tour lol.

[@Averyravynwood]

“These balls aren’t gonna hook”, proceeds to hook it flush pocket.

[@craternose348]

I once maintained a 276 average for 7 weeks and finished the league off with a 250 average I bowled a lot more at that time my average now is only 230-240

[@steadfasttinsoldier5228]

"It's only cool if you get all of them." Might not be as cool, but i bowled a 200 last night with 4 opens. Started with 3 opens, followed with a 4-bagger, an open, a turkey going into the 10th, and last ball left a 4-6-7. Ludicrous😅

[@webslinger67]

Id love to know where you found a Petriglia ball..... His kid was my pro shop / ball driller.

[@B.D.W.T]

Aaron was Completely destroying it, haha..Like I'm pretty sure every time he crushed the pocket my phone would shake

[@PUR3PLOX5]

Dude is smoother than silk. Such a simple, repeatable stroke and smashes the pocket every time.

[@mybowlingexcuses]

Nice! Couldn't even use the excuse "bowled with an old rubber ball" Did y'all see that pin on the last ball try and stand back up!

[@verlinbrumley1841]

yo crazy carry with that rubber ball great stuff there very good video thank you!

[@gamblingguru2235]

U still count ur 300s? But nahh that was nasty!!! Goodshit man

[@bowlingxp8345]

-Hey what's your average with that old ball ? - Uh...300....

[@KaiTakApproach]

Pro Shop Guy has the hair of a god, the wit of a 1970s New Yorker and the form of Pee Wee Herman. We need to see more of him on this channel.

[@dexterbronaugh6151]

That was literally insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RCXSlayer]

Don't mess with the pro shop guy 😂

[@JonHop1]

Aaron is like the John Delp III of California.. Not sure if John Delp is still bowling, but I know John consistently averaged like high 240's over 10 years and did hold the 800 and 300 usbc record at the same time for a while. John Delp and Aaron are both Pro Shop guys as well lol.

[@TTSRCLASS2011]

That was amazing. With a rubber ball!

[@feat132]

Having uswd both of those balls, they are not comparable. The LT 48 has a soft porous surface made of rubber and the Black Diamond was very hard rubber.

[@coopergates9680]

Oil must be more stable there. I have one of those OG LT-48s and it starts squirting on carry down within a few frames.

[@coachpete5756]

proves its not the ball to increase scores, its the lane conditions... where you have about a 6 -8 board swing, he yanked one bad and had 2 get away from him and all were buried!... I stopped bowing for 36 years and last year, after only 3 practice games I bowled in my 1st league night back... 234,229,279. back in the 70s you miss by more than a board or 2... no strike, today... its easy!

[@flipppadipppa1234]

I didn't know Scott Stapp could bowl

[@johnmccormick3079]

Wow! great shooting!

[@malekfitness8651]

Damn, Scott Stapp can bowl.

[@jrtmendoza]

"I need to strike out..." Proceeds to leave the frame wide open

[@220avg]

🙂

[@HC_FREAK]

You're strikes are satisfying!

[@plasia]

Fitting music

[@gkittyz]

Buddy cleaned someone’s hall mid game and shot 300 with rubber 😭

[@themoneymovers]

This dude is a stone cold Pin Killa! Ice water in his veins. With a rubber ball too? Amazing, my Scott Stapp lookin brotha! 😮

[@fatherandsonadventures-cq8nw]

I had an LT-48 Colombia 300 white dot yellow dot I loved those

[@FragranceEmpire]

Aaron needs to get back on Tour!

[@trackboy311]

Pro shop marketing for sure!!!!

[@witheck9749]

Once, saw Butch Gearhart working at the desk, at my local bowling center. While doing so, he helped a team that was going to have to forfeit their games. He bowls a 279 game. While running the center. Butch may you RIP.

[@pelicanisis1]

Ahhh the rubber balls. Got angle them into the pocket. You both had good lines. Just can't give the pocket away. For those who truly want a challenge, roll a rubber ball.

[@tobiaschristianson9188]

Yes that's great congratulations 🎉👏

[@cory1705]

Aaron just proved, If you're a good bowler. You can throw any equipment and still score!

[@roboneil408]

Well you have a point, however this was on walled up house shot.

[@almightytherabite915]

Haha, this somewhat reminds me of a time in the later 90s when there was some sort of match between Dick Weber and the old pro shop guy at my bowling alley, the shop owner beat him 300 to like 227ish.

[@fsu88me]

Guy legitimately looks like a bad azz bowling Scott Stapp from Creed!! Legendary!!

[@AudunWangen]

So why do these pros drill new balls for every tournament, when you can shoot 300 with a 47 year old ball?

[@josephperalta3096]

That's Palawski!! Good Shit Aaron

[@simp3204]

220 actually said, “For the Culture!”

[@Mogachaffe]

Like the shirt he’s repping

[@fbhubbaliciousgaming4495]

I use a 1985 angle and average 220+ on my house shot lol
