Such an awesome guy. Hey Belmo, tell Storm to bring back the black Belmo ball, I really want one!! ;)

[@JoeBowler-r9n]

Jason, when i first started bowling, a Good Guy named Tom Kavanaugh had a pro- Shop in Yonkers, ny, and was a PBA member. Tommy told me that a bowler should know how to drill their own equipment, and that having a 200 average is not enough to go pro. I totally agree with Him. I was not too well informed on Pitches of.fingers and thumb. Hope You are Bowling Well Jason.

[@1953nagarjuna]

I've thought for years but don't think I've ever said to you before via social media that you are a WONDERFUL communicator. I can't think of anyone better when it comes to speaking with thoughtful and virtually flawless eloquence about bowling and exquisitely melding the personal and professional dimensions when you talk so engagingly about your game. Thank you, Belmo, for all you do for the great sport of bowling.

[@floggerfrog]

i can see him becoming a colour commentator after his retirement, i would love that idea.

July? Miserable and cold? It’s 100 here in Denver. Weird.

Hope you’re enjoying family time Belmo. Being away can be so hard. I spent 22 years traveling while my kids were young. They’re 28 and 25 now! Time flies and they grow so fast! 😉

[@Nailv]

I love these videos. Thanks for answering the questions

[@Pend2027]

I remember the KISS from the 1970s. Keep It Simple Stupid. Great advice, just remember doing it is the challenge. lol

[@justins2363]

Thx for answering my question keep up the good work!

[@Louis-ed5pn]

Hello Jason, i Hope You are Bowling Well and That You and the Family are Well.🙏

[@Ruman17]

I just bought an Attention Star yesterday! I'm picking it up tomorrow and can't wait.

[@treevapeterson3941]

Ur my autistic sons hero...he's a two handed bowler and he's going to special Olympics in ames iowa bowling...

[@Ken_Leivonen]

Jason, love the video and the answers, it is great that you check in from time to time during the off season, looking forward to seeing next month with the end of the PBA League Season. Ken

[@LayneJones-zy3pk]

Loved your answer to the last question 💯💯💯

[@CliftonDon74]

Cool one Mr. Belmonte. When I am feeling lost on the lanes, i reset from the ground up, from head to toe. It's usually something like my shoulders are are slumped or my elbow/wrist position has gone out of whack. Thanks for taking the time to to answer our questions. I look forward to aeeing you on tour this 2025 season and future episodes from your channel.

[@jasonsmith3537]

I turned 47 yesterday, 2-hander. The last few years I have looked into your release Belmo. I was really pushing off hard and getting low on that knee to where some days I paid for it. I decided to try more fluid and controlled....and a little higher up off the ground. It made a HUGE difference on strain, I warm up faster in practice, I'm more accurate, speed is consistently where I want in in the low 16s (house shot), and revs are actually much higher.... Yet all with half the effort now. So thanks for being on TV where I could get some ideas here lol. However, my spare game went downhill with all the changes!! I miss left a lot and need to find that new target zone for my eyes.

[@michaelkolb1962]

Can’t wait to see you sept 8th!!! So hyped

[@Bradon881]

Finally a new belmo video. Let’s go🎉

[@rleriche5044]

Appreciate the insights. All stuff I can use.

[@herbk8489]

Even using no thumb. So smooth on the downward and upward swing

[@deeelle6567]

For a fun video in the future, it would be cool to see you bowl on a house shot 1-handed :)

[@Fake.plastic.guy.]

I just realized you spend winter in Australia, then winter in the US! 😮 And you keep doing it!

[@Zurround]

I know that during bowling season they sometimes have games that are different from regular bowling like "strike derby". I think there should be a bowling match where all players that normally bowl 2 handed have to use just one arm and all players that normally bowl one handed have to use both arms. Another experiment I want to see is a match where all left handed bowlers have to bowl with their right hand and vice versa.

[@JoeBowler-r9n]

Jason, has there been any data.relating to injuries to 2 handed style bowlers as opposed to the one handed delivery? I am a retired bowler who gets.aches.and pains in my left knee from bowling right handed. I am wondering if the 2 handed delivery will cause back injuries in the long run?

[@jeffreypelletier4903]

Hi belmo. I am currently in the process of going frome one handed to two handed, due to some wrist pain issues I have been having. My question is that after finding my new PAP, I still am tracking over my middle finger on some shots, not all. Any insight as to what could be causing this? I've tested a few things and have discovered that if I can remind myself to wait on the ball longer and it seems to get my track away from the fingers.

[@95scTA]

Change your finger pitches. A positive pitch in your middle finger will help you keep your hand in the right position at release. Should move your track away from your middle finger. It helped me.

[@Ricardo-x5k]

Can you tell me what your thinking (going thru your mind) when you get on the approach and start your release? Especially when the pressure is high.. For me I focas on hitting my target.. I'm sure there is more to it. Thanks Ricardo

[@briansheman]

What was your favorite messenger you’ve ever thrown on tv ?

[@rhegafd]

Im sure this gets asked a lot, but is there any chance you will be doing another Belmo spare ball? I was able to find a 14 pounder at a reasonable price, but can't find a 15.

@@JasonBelmonte keep taking him to "special" restaurants, I swear I'd watch a series of him just trying different foods for his reaction xD

[@williamford9564]

The one handed question in most cases is back handed shot at you as a two hander. Do people ask E J Tackett and back in the day, Walter Ray Williams, Norm Duke and Parker Bohm what they would average 200?

[@BenStarven]

I'm one hand no thumb bowler. What do you think about the thumb and rev rates

[@FranXeed]

i’d like to see a video of you bowling one handed just for fun!

[@nateg.6187]

Watch with captions on if you want to see why AI is a bad idea lol... the accent does a job on the auto captions for sure. Excellent video, too!

[@JasonBelmonte]

I really thought I was on to something with the automatic captions! Back to the drawing board. -Jillian

[@HannahFallon-ef1tp]

@@JasonBelmonte Hi Jason I have been watching you since I was 7 years old what inspired you to become a pro bola? Because for me it was you. When I first started I was not very good my average was only 102 and now my average is 145 and I love it and looking at your signature on my journey bowling ball every time I look at it. It reminds me to stay calm on my bad days thank you ❤❤️💖🏆🏅🎳🎳

[@dhaigler90]

What would i have to do to have a 3 game series with you next time your in Las Vegas?

[@Shake-n-Bake222]

Question belmo ! How can you prevent from rolling over the finger holes ?

[@Shawizzlegaming]

You are more than likely a full roller and need your drillings re-adjusted

[@lindacrawford915]

There is so much going on here with bowling promotions quite frankly I am confused and lost. I know the big Elias Team Tournament is coming in September and I have certainly pinning my hopes on you being the the US to bowl......Once again though, I ask.......Are you coming over for the regular season when it starts? It is just not the same game without you.....Please let us know.....

[@stupendous1068]

It actually gets cold in Australia?

[@gavintruman2654]

I have a question for you belmo I'm a one and no thump wrist spinner, can u give me some tips

[@homerlex]

Where do we post questions that have a chance to be answered by Belmo?

[@JasonBelmonte]

A few times each year I ask the bigger bowling groups on Facebook and the bowling subreddit for their questions. And sometimes Jason posts a call for questions on his social media. If you’ve got a question, drop it here in the comments and I’ll include it in the next Ask Belmo episode we film, probably next month at the league finals! -Jillian

[@homerlex]

@@JasonBelmonte thanks for the reply Jillian. I've actually got something to share that I believe he will be interested in seeing. I made some items from a Timeless bowling ball that I think he'd appreciate. Wondering how I can get him to see them.

[@bowling300.]

Kill thoes pins, i remember you and Tommy Jones went head to head, like Jones was far back getting som speed going, but belmo came past him like a ferrari vs a turtle😂 Jones ball was on they whey down and belmo past him finishing the shot before Jones was in the third step😂 (warmup) i dont care if i win but i sure is going to show you a messenger or 5 before we get started😂

[@CTM_Nation99]

Belmo, what do you think you’re great bowling ball collaboration has been in your entire career why? Why not

[@br4dy1998]

Sparing your 10 pins 2 handed doesn’t count, if I could spare all my 10 pins I’d be a 220 average but that’s what I lack at

[@bigdaddy28173]

So you have done so much at storm. When will you become the vp of marketing for them. 🏁🏁🏁

[@presdoc1]

Im wondering if the young guys have caught up to you or have you slipped a bit. Not a jab at you but two handed bowlers are really evolving

[@thomasleonard9685]

I bet on house shot belmo averages 220-225 with a little practice

[@ItzDmkYT]

[@chrisr3992]

Belmo admits it finally. 1 handed for skilled bowlers. 2 handed for noon smiled bowlers lol.
