Episode 2: Bowled a 140... TWICE | 2023 PBA Players Championship | Jason Belmonte

[@MaintenanceMan00]

Even the best bowler on the face of the earth struggles from time to time. If anyone comes back from this… it’s you!

[@edwardranno7119]

Everybody struggles,especially on TV when you have hundreds of people standing behind you watching you

[@pamelabarbee2487]

Another very informative video. No matter what some people think, bowling in general - and especially PBA bowling - is extremely difficult to be consistently good at 100 percent of the time. Jason, you are whom you are because you are a professional, and one of the best ever at that. Even the best cannot be perfect on every pattern for every shot. You know yourself that you just have to keep working. That's how you got to be the consummate pro you are. Good luck the rest of the way. Still watching and listening and hoping to see you bowling next weekend.

[@ranger70]

Thanks for showing us house bowlers that even you have rough days

[@coloradobeavenfamily]

Your transparency is awesome. Thanks!

[@snoochpounder]

Belmo showing us why he’s the GOAT. Even his content production is on another level, compared to the other bowling channels.

[@akoni53]

I've had those days where nothing works. Thanks for sharing Belmo!

[@ronaldvanengen1887]

Jason that's why you send your Storm Ball reps to scout out the other bays!! I marvel that each Week the Storm staffers don't all go to Dinner and each 1 discuss how to break down the pattern and what they are seeing!! Kinda like they do in Nascar Asymmetrical or symmetrical Urethane or Resin How much Matt O Grady hand are they using etc!! The Goal is using Darren Tangs journal for the betterment of every Storm staffer etc What is Belmo seeing is Simo seeing the Same thing what is Frankie L seeing and what is Barnes and EJ Tackett seeing 👀 knowing full well Tackett is Motiv!! ❤😊 Have a Foster mate

[@justinhoward2108]

"140's are a part of the game" - So true. I remember watching the video replay of one of my PBA regionals and there was a guy commenting on my 147 game online "Why is this guy even allowed to bowl in this". I hope he watches this video. Belmo is 100x better than me, and if he can throw a few, I do not feel bad when I occasionally hit that really rough game.

[@justinhoward2108]

That guys comment made me question for a while if I could compete. It did refocus me on process over outcome, and I am in a much better state this year. So maybe I should thank him instead of call him out. ;)

[@nicholastrainssd75m45]

Don’t give up Belmo you got this! I find these vlogs very interesting they give us house bowlers some insight on how hard these PBA patterns really are. Lol recently I had a rough day at my local bowling alley if I was on the pattern you guys play on I probably would’ve bowled 45.

[@apolaconeagleeye8571]

Pros fall out of the Zone now and then. The rest of us Fall into the Zone now and then.

[@pamelabarbee2487]

Exactly!!

[@fishinghuntingfool]

Thinking about it This description is so true 🙂

[@twelvexes]

personally, i love when belmo throws bigger balls, amps the speed up and tones down his backend reaction. i would love if he would always go dead straight at all his spares and splits with a spare ball. 🙂

[@JoshFiver]

You got this! I’m rooting for ya, and you can make any tournament on any continent when it comes to bowling. Hopefully we get to see an overseas event soon 😊

[@danjs34p]

Your blogs are great, the content is amazing for tournament bowlers.

[@randomcasperstuffs]

It just shows that everyone has rough times! Thank you for the informative video Belmo! I hope one day I get to meet you, ever since I saw you bowl I went 2 handed and also have your gold spare ball hehe :)

[@djyoung7164]

Your videos reflect you, the best!

[@lesialambertconant6221]

Thats fantastic to have someone help you out like that. ❤

[@jonathanthomas8574]

Thank you show us what it is and reality check for everyone that bowl

[@TrojanLuver7]

Love the people that are proven wrong! Good attitude! Making top 4 after Friday is the goal to avoid the Saturday mayhem!

[@rainybacon1]

A couple of rough breaks, but sometimes that’s how the cookie crumbles. You got it mate. Keep it up!

[@ronaldvanengen1887]

Break out the Trend2 break out the Fate or the Pro Motion or most definitely break out the TIMELESS!! NO EFFECTED BY THE PASSAGE OF TIME!! THOSE ARE YOUR SIGNATURE BOWLING BALLS USE THEM!! LET THE OTHER STORM GUYS SELL THE NEW RELEASES FOR Mr Bill C in Utah!! Use the Belmo Balls!!!😂❤

[@michaelfranks7587]

If anything about watching these videos are the camera angles.. that said I noticed that balls either broke left early Brooklyn or broke late and entered the pocket with no force or miss the pocket completely.. the ones that struck went right, broke left and had the force to go through the pocket with the ball 1/2 on the right front of the headpin...just an observation

[@AndreWDYounitedRevolution]

please keep this up Belmo..such a great insight to the tournaments! besides that: I felt like the Reality Check was waay to sharp in the backend for already very sharp backends..was surprised that you threw that so much

[@shanepearson919]

Exactly andrew he should give the altered reality a go with moving a little forward at the start

[@arthurguillaume5977]

I did the same yesterday...used my spare ball for the first shot a few times. Oil was bad, everyone was having trouble. I had two games similar to yours, 146, 147. Some days it just doesn't work... I can relate.

[@shadow78423]

Just one of those days

[@bennyfrank5262]

Bowling. I love it but boy do I hate it! Lmao sums up bowling perfectly

[@richardsanteyan8251]

Love these videos mate!

[@EatsleepPlayRepeat555]

ball review contents is nice, drilling advices etc

[@crowzkidd]

I have ups and downs like those games ugh I blame the lanes 😆 the frustration is real

[@Pinoystriker]

Good luck Belmo, you can do it. Go for the 16

[@supersentallupinurmouf]

Belmo has 31 titles.

[@tonynguyen9059]

If I was a Pro Bowler like Jason I would record every Bowling Alley I ever played at, every lane, with what ball I used in that lane and pattern, how much oil was used, where to stand, what arrow to roll at, and how long the lane was as a cheat sheet even though there are so many variables I can't control at least I have a cheat sheet.

[@jonathanthomas8574]

Thank you

[@geowilson1587]

either way belmo your all class..back ends really moving guess no harder surface works strange…good luck next set..top 16

[@jibblypuff]

buy a compression sleeve, it may help you tough it out next week a bit better than the KT Tape. I have golfer's elbow (inside elbow) and the sleeve pretty much prevents all pain while bowling.

[@gloriadelacruz8811]

Just do it, remind your self that you are a good bowler, get back that self confidence as a champion in your profession. May lady luck be with you always.

[@Envythis]

Break out that RST-X2 and I bet you kill it in the beginning. You're awesome Belmo!

[@jefferyboring4410]

I’ve been killing it with mine . I may struggle then find my mark . We won for the yr last week I bowled 147 168 then a 245 ?! Bowling is weird u can be off or on it’s just who’s in the groove

[@thesamsquatch5224]

Everyone has those times unfortunately, just take it easy and move onto tomorrow

[@theonly1film]

rooting for you

[@josephoakes1708]

Keep your eye on the prize!

[@BigHurt24]

I love the game but BOYYYY Do I Hate It!! That's exactly how I feel about it at the moment

[@nylimoman]

what was that green ball he started the 2nd block with? It had the best roll.

[@parkereason2046]

I sometimes struggle so I’m sorry for you mate

[@kicks4kicks35]

I feel like it’s a mental thing right now

[@rshowers7590]

I didn’t even want to watch it when I saw the headline. I feel your pain….

[@kimanismith4085]

I didn’t know Maria was married to Nathan. I watched her bowl at Lindenwood when she was visiting and she can bowl!!!

[@yeahwhatever5436]

No matter what Jason. You always make us Aussies proud mate. Shame you support the West Tigers 😉😂

[@Arc_Firstlight]

What's the song that played over the first 2-3 games? I feel like I'm listening to the Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack! Its awesome!

[@iml1945]

Other channels just show 1st bowl strikes. Your videos show the good, bad and ugly. Other channels are not as realistic. Keep up the great content and good luck in North Brunswick!

[@memyself1670]

What is the pink ball he's rolling?

[@ReallyStrikin]

Roto Grip Idol its discontinued now

[@cadirector]

"if it was easy, everybody would be doing it!"

[@DrCaptainMorgan]

If you bowled two 140 games, then it’s the Starbucks coffee ☕️. They have gone way downhill on quality. Try a better place for coffee and your scores will go back to Champ level.

[@lexc508]

I need a sneaker plug Timmy!!!

[@stephens9772]

I would be mad at a140, and by bar is so much farther down than his lol

[@jamescorkill7154]

I’m just a for fun, sometime league bowler. Bowled as a kid in league. Then went 20 plus years not bowling. Grew up watching Mark and Earl with Marshal being from my state. ABC and Saturdays. Then tv went away from it. Watched you when I could with your two handed and was impressed with your humbleness along with what you’ve done. You’re video on Packy’s channel is what got me here. Thank you

[@billem3085]

Jason, I see you fall into this time and time again with the old "The next pair must play like the last pair" trap.

[@jefferyboring4410]

That’s a ball rep u want ! Actually throws the ball for u make sure it’s straight! That’s personal service

[@Bowler6611]

Hey, even Babe Ruth struck out sometimes.

[@nordattack]

Note to the Videographer/Editor: The music that plays during the bowling sessions is much too loud compared to Jason's Voice during interview cuts. Please even them out.

[@brigham2250]

Jason, I know I'm just some guy who bowls at my local alley and I am nowhere near your caliber of a bowler. However (you knew that was coming, right?), let me make a suggestion on the 3,6,10 spare, which I saw you miss (I think twice). This works for me and if it works for me, with your accuracy, it should certainly work for you. Throw your spare ball right up the second arrow into the six. The 3-10 automatically go down. I have seen Tackett miss this spare too. I make them almost always by just throwing my spare ball straight up the second arrow. I take the same shot if it is only the 3-10 (the baby split). Your accuracy has to be better than mine and, like I said, I make this shot quite a lot. I think your chances of making that spare are higher my way than throwing across the lane. I hope to meet you next weekend at Carolier Lanes and get a photo and my bowling pin signed.

[@pgrommesh]

Duckies? Belmo hasn't lived until he's been chased by canadian geese.

[@bradypohlman8307]

ah yes the 3-6-10, my enemy

[@joshuakazfields4374]

👍🏽

[@jayvallandingham2406]

That's bad when you have your ball rep scratching his head...

[@kenfleming3161]

you must drive the speed limit. trucks and cars are passing you.

[@COORSMAN0790]

I’m not sure what the PBA’s rules are on alcohol but when I’m in a slump drinking a bunch of beer gets my game back on track … or at least I think it helps 🤔

[@edwardranno7119]

I bowled league with a guy who always brought a case of beer with him and drink the whole time,he was a really good guy,your comment reminded me of him

[@teezee8961]

🤣😂😂 facts!

[@MrTimmyGT]

Hey, watch out for those geese, they Jersey geese. They don't take $h!t from nobody!

[@TrojanLuver7]

Lanes running red- not a good thing!!!

[@tonynguyen9059]

I hate flat 10's and 7's more than 7/10 splits

[@NPMystikal]

The moving camera is so bad...makes it very hard to watch.

[@Jpnhobi]

Music while you bowl is way louder than when you speak.

[@quattobeast]

Your arms must have been well sore after 12 games the previous day.

[@holdenpi]

Sorry Jason, in 2023 that script was handed to Simo and EJ. Your Comeback player of the year trophy is well in hand though!

[@sawnose4775]

What? 140 twice? That's great!! I mean, obviously you're a tremendous bowler BUT, being the huge EJ fan that I am, I'm wondering........Could you roll a few more 140"s??😃

[@L3Dhelpguide]

Just have to rib you for calling Geese, ducks

[@barotraumabruce4245]

Hmm. Belmo as human is not nearly as fun to watch. Still watched, though.

[@KoolBell4AU]

The "EASY PATH" is littered with quitters and those that accept mediocrity. I don't sense that is your path.

[@Jordankons123]

Adversity

[@Skyeatsmike]

I LOVE you belmo; BUT 10 mins of talking is a bit much my guy.

[@ianhoneycutt3858]

God I hate Geese

[@scotty2221]

That's okay. Just beat Rash, all that matters.

[@Heath-Gallagher]

plays the lanes wrong and continues...the definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome,should have got the urethane out and piped it up first or second,and least get away from the splits.
