BOWLING PET PEEVES | Volume 1

[@b.r.fowler785]

Only legends know this is a re-upload. And I still refuse to bowl next to a split.

[@danhammond6103]

i didn’t care too much about bowling next to a split until i started splitting every time i bowled next to a split🤣 and i was wondering about that bc i was like “i swear i’ve watched this video before” haha

A SURPRISE DASHA BRUNSNICK VIDEO?!?!?! This is truly a Christmas gift!!!!!

[@gunzslinger981]

His wife?!?

[@JoeleyPANTS-Okay-ist-Bowler]

@@gunzslinger981 🤣 I was going to make a "He's too old or she's too young" joke. Then I realized, I'm the same age as Brunsnick and Dasha is the same age as my wife ...... so i put a pin in that one! 😇

[@traveling.down.the.road56]

I’m guilty of having all of these pet peeves myself. The slow bowling, specially when you have a missing bowler or two between the two teams, and you’re still the last pair of teams to leave the lanes that night, when you thought maybe you could get home a little early.

[@edb3877]

Just wait until you bowl on a senior league and at least 1 of the people bowling has no idea where they are or what they are trying to do. 🙄

[@NeilTruick]

Even worse, the person who is "robbed" every time they hit the pocket and doesn't get a strike. Also, the person who blames the lane when their ball doesn't do what they want it to do.

[@jvmiller1995]

@@NeilTruick I use to have a guy on my team that felt if his ball touched the 1 and 3 pin it was a pocket hit and should give him a strike. Then he sets at the table bitching about it throwing his hat and bringing the entire team down. Like calm down it is just a game and getting angry only throws the mental game off making your mistakes even worse.

[@hugebear53]

​@@NeilTruick this one absolutely kills me. One guy on my wife's team throws one of the worst balls ever seen, and freaks out when he doesn't strike. Somewhere between zero and minus (backward) revolutions at release. She likes him because he sometimes gives away tickets to the Ottawa Senators 🤮🤮

[@Denali_Rebel]

We bowl with a gentleman that needs assistance finding the approach, what ball is his, and what pins he left.

[@jvmiller1995]

@@Denali_Rebel That is awesome you guys help him. I am sure it makes his day to still be able to roll the ball. I might be this guy one day

[@Chubbles33]

The two lane courtesy and refusing to bowl next to a split are so true. I want this to be mandatory viewing at our preseason bowling meeting next August.

[@raymondlangella5276]

Some of Dasha’s expressions are priceless!

[@waynehamberg9248]

#1 Pet Peeve for everybody should be the USBC. Does absolutely nothing for the vast majority of the league bowlers but we still have to pay membership to bowl.

[@glennrobbins8236]

Two lane courtesy! The bane of league bowling. My personal pet peeve.

[@pbatommy]

I got cursed out by someone who wanted one PAIR courtesy!

[@NathanMoist]

Ah yes even in tournaments when they announce one lane courtesy but the "pros" in the house still expect you to give them two.

[@bowlnow824]

I bowled league in Atlanta and there was one league I quit halfway through because I got tired of people giving 2 lane courtesy. I has my pba card at the time and I hated giving it in league. It works good when everyone does it properly. It sucks when half the people don't know how it works and the other half act like league is a pba national stop

[@crimsontide1980]

Man, you have to have some insane peripheral vision to see the guy 2 lanes down while you're on the approach, looking at your target😂

[@bowlnow824]

@crimsontide1980 I will agree with you even when I was bowling regionals and two lane courtesy was mandatory. People used to get so upset if a new bowler would break it. I never had an issue with somebody double jumping me

[@ShooterMcShot]

This needs to be our Charlie Brown Christmas. Once a year, every year. Merry Christmas to the makers of quality entertainment.

[@edpaserba3330]

I have been blessed to bowl with some of the nicest and sweetest ladies to have ever graced the lanes as PWBA members. But you picked the perfect one to do this video with. Dasha bowled next to me for 18 frames. If you don't like her, avoid mankind at all costs! Personable, very funny, terribly sweet, and if you're lucky, is open to sharing a bit of sarcasm and self deprecation. I became a fan from go. Did I mention that she bowls really good? A classic young lady!

[@mrkttrdr2919]

Funny stuff seen every one of them, especially the split, I had one up on my lane and told the guy next to me to go ahead, he quickly said , U THINK I WANT TO LOOK AT THAT! Ha! thanks for posting

[@fireflydreams1791]

Oh wow! When did you start bowling in my centers in South Carolina? Because I swear, at least 9 of these apply to 3 of my leagues. I assume we all came to bowl in this league at 7pm which is why we signed up, so stop playing on your dang phone, bowl when it is your turn, keep your food, drinks, and rosin OFF the rack and ball return, and do not whine after you stood on the approach for 826 seconds bouncing your knees up and down to then proceed to throw it 8 mph and get mad when you only hit 4 pins then have the audacity to blame the lanes. Merry Christmas Dasha :-)

#1 unsolicited advice. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@joejohnson560]

YEEET! and all of these are too true.

[@Victriol]

These are funny. The 2 lane courtesy for sure. The towel on the ball return hits a little too close to home. Also this reminds me I need to charge the battery of my fan.

[@bowlnow824]

Number 4 hit home for me. I lost a friend of mine back in 06 to a car wreck that loved telling his life story on the lanes. Miss you Josh

[@MarcFromBerryland]

4:54 The one in this video that I don't think I have seen is the "Won't Bowl Next To A Split" bowler. It's been a few years since I last bowled so maybe this is a newer thing or maybe I just never noticed them right in front of me? I don't know?

[@kevinscarborough9982]

Not only the towel on my ball. But, someone else using my towel. No. No. No. No. No. NO!

[@brianmizway9324]

This was spot on!

[@johnwesolowski8481]

Im in a league and everyone gives a 2 lane courtesy. Its agonizing. Even the league rules state 1 lane. But everyone gives two, its ingrained in them. Brutal

[@jvmiller1995]

I like to go open bowl on half price night. It conditions you to block that shit out. But 100% 1 lane is good!

I wish our league rules stated a 1 lane courtesy. In a league where they "practice" the 2 lan courtesy, this is the first time I have encountered it, NOT a FAN of it as I think 1 lane courtesy is just fine for league bowling.

[@hugebear53]

​​@@jvmiller1995 I'd practice with my brother in law. Accidentally drop a ball as the other is almost at release point! Throw towels on the next lane. Anything we could think of to disturb concentration. It worked. Talk about focus and concentration. Definitely made us better bowlers, to the point that the dead silence in the 12th ball was disturbing 😳. Just carry on ffs!

[@bananablaster1234]

Hi Nick. I got an Arctic Vibe for Christmas and want it drilled for a smooth motion across the lane. Would a pin-up or down layout be better for a 2 hander?

[@brunsnick]

Pin up.

[@tpclinic]

🤣😂 sooooo true. I was busting up

[@a530demon]

Still great and still super relevant

[@ripvanrevs]

My biggest pet peeve is having the ball return in the middle of the playing field.😮

[@oliver299d]

what about the person that re racks then throws a washout?

[@ryburnsjr]

What a hoot!!! 🎳🎳🎳🎳🎳🎳🎳

[@Denali_Rebel]

I typically don’t understand 2 lane courtesy but I did flop when someone two lanes over stepped off just before me after the front 11. I feel like that close to a 300 shot is slightly different though.

[@deeve_717]

I bowled league with number 3. Up on the approach for 30 seconds each shot only to leave a washout.

[@CasualGamerPlays]

OMG! I've experienced all 10 in one night league night.

[@TheHSIHP]

A guy on my team does 4. Ugh

[@crimsontide1980]

I bowl with an ultra slow bowler whp gives out unsolicited advice. And I know the other teams hate bowling against us because they can feel their beards growing longer waiting for him to throw his shot once he's on the approach.

[@CKBowling1]

#7 happened to me at Holiday Doubles a couple weeks ago, in GAME 8! We hadn’t been doing 2 lanes all day, all the sudden we are in front of the announcer table the college kid needs 2 lanes.

[@ak252m]

Is this not a re-upload?

[@kevinscarborough9982]

I'm always up for bowling advice. (Not this though). But, what I can't stand is having a serious discussion about what is going on and a third person along with his alcohol decides to jump in. It doesn't end very well.

[@natebean151]

One that missed i dont like is stacking the arrows. Bowling 1 cant wait for last bowler in lineup on your team.

[@jvmiller1995]

That use to be a rule you had to wait for the last bowler to throw their first ball. But it does not bother me unless 2 or 33 bowlers are missing or something making it go to fast. Otherwise I like it to move along. Nothing worse that getting paired against a team of slow bowlers then have their 1st bowler wait also.

[@rebootnut]

#6 is especially bad if you only average 170, in a handicap league, and you’re only shooting 130 that night.

[@nyracingfan]

Let’s get a BrunsNick/Liz Kuhlkin video the next time she’s in Muskegon!

[@MrJdillion]

Nailed it!!!

[@TheGreatConstantini]

I agree with all of them except bowling next to a split. I have done it plenty of times and yes most have resulted in a split. We all laugh now because there are plenty of us who say no. One woman will even walk to the end of the lanes and face the wall until it’s over.

[@SJRangeRat]

I don’t understand refusing to bowl next to a split. Can someone please explain that to me?

[@playdiscgolf1546]

Superstition

[@janderson8401]

My current pet peeve is when the balls are getting backed up on the ball return and everyone just ignores the problem until a ball gets stuck in the chute.

[@E3cubed]

Painfully slow bowlers are #1 for me. Giving every detail is #2. Especially, when it's a ton of excuses.

[@NipkowDisk]

Two-lane courtesy during practice is absolutely unwarranted. Old geezers like myself would probably still do it during league play, although I haven't bowled league in many years now. But even one-lane courtesy in open play seems nonexistent these days, sadly.

[@atbsigma]

The #1 pet peeve is the best one… showed up on another list. This may be a repost but it’s a timeless one!

[@kevinscarborough9982]

Holy friggin crap! The sharing every detail when asked how's it goin. FUUUUUUUKKKK. I have listened to it so many times. But, DO NOT DO IT WHEN I'M ON THE APPROACH!!!

[@TonysMusic1974]

Didn't you post this already a while ago

[@GrumpaBaggins]

I can't believe as a newer bowler that I have experienced all but the apologizing already. The worst was a woman literally throwing a tantrum about 2 lane courtesy during a full house. She f-bombed a half dozen times while jumping up and down with her fists clenched. She bowled a 147. I think it about killed her when she figured out that league didn't stop for her. I have to admit that I'm guilty for having more than 1 ball on the return, though. Our alley is so cramped that it's hard to get into your bag mid-game. So, I set 2 up and hold one at my seat. The other annoying problem is when the bowler in the next set of lanes keeps side stepping in front of you as you begin your approach. I absolutely hate that.

[@crimsontide1980]

I try to keep my spare ball in a ball cup, right behind the ball return. Problem is, after I throw my spare ball, the next guy is already walking up to the approach, raring to go, so I can't stand there to wait on my spare ball to return to remove it. So I gotta stand there, behind the approach, wait on the next bowler to throw their shot, run up there and grab my spare ball and put it back in the ball cup and hopefully not irritate the guy trying to reach for his spare ball at the same time I'm putting mine down. You'd be surprised how many people get mad when you're anywhere near the approach while they're bowling. They can throw a shot, step off the approach to grab another ball and they still don't want anybody around the approach. It's crazy......it's just league😅

[@ArceBowls]

Notes: 1 ball, Be quiet, hurry up and shake hands with God. I can't wait for the CBE Masters event.

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

About the only thing that bothers me in league is when the drinkers start to get unwound about halfway through the second game. They get real loud and start doing and yelling the dumbest s**t, disrupting and disrespecting the whole league.

[@TheGreatConstantini]

Oh and unsolicited bowling advise never bothers me. I can take it or disregard it. A week ago a fellow bowler asked me if I would mind some observations. He observed I was not very relaxed and my body language looked like a fish flipping around. Essentially I was not very body quiet. I took his observation and turned it into an action plan. I took bigger breaths before throwing, observed my motions, my speed and quieted my body. It worked. My scores rocketed up. So like it or not I will listen and respond if I feel it is good Intel.

[@rodneyshelby4371]

The biggest pet peeve is too many balls on ball rack and the second one is when it's your turn to bowl and people don't pay attention when they're up they're too busy talking to other people in the bowling center and not paying attention to their turn😂😂

[@grassman8684]

I used to be guilty of no.2 but I not anymore. If it happens it happens.

[@tafkafi]

Don't let Sarah Bowls see number 7 lol It'll send her into a frenzy.

[@playdiscgolf1546]

Our Thursday league has always had a 2 lane courtesy. Are people really in that much of a hurry?

[@junew2203]

My biggest pet peeve? People who think they need 1000 balls to be a good bowler. The gearhead proshoppers. I’ve had the same ball since 2006 (hammer vibe), granted I’ve used it for about 4 years total, but I’ve had 700s a Greek 300, won international tournaments and state tournaments and several scholarships. If I can do it, you can do it. It’s the person that makes the ball, not the ball that makes the person. I’m also adding that I’ve had 3 balls at a time before. A heavy oil, light oil, and spare. That’s all that you should need.

[@crimsontide1980]

Personally, I don't care if they bring one or bring 20.........as long as they don't put half their arsenal on the ball rack😂. For some people, it's easier to make a ball change than a line change. Some people love to buy the newest hot release, which is insane because they release like 7 or 8 new balls a month, every month. I couldn't afford to buy all these balls even if I wanted to, plus, newer balls crack so frequently, I feel like I'd be pissing away money. Had to throw away an IQ Tour last year, had only sit for 2 months unused, and that was enough to piss me off. Couldn't imagine throwing away 4 or 5 like my buddy had to.

[@jilliangravelle1101]

I feel like Dasha and I are the same person lol

[@Bszp5413]

I hate bowling next to a split, I guess I’m just a superstitious bowler, I was a superstitious baseball player back in the day. Seems like everytime I bowl with a split next to me I split, so I try not to, but I won’t blatantly not go and bowl

[@bengrimm1222]

I am not bowling against a split

[@clayton_schrimpf]

There was one time at my bowling club in high school where the captain of the team was already standing for his approach on lane 2 (right of the gutter). As he was standing there ready, thats when I picked up my ball and stood where I did on lane 1 (left of gutter). He got mad at me for getting ready before he threw his shot but he was standing there for a good 20 seconds talking to other people in my club about his shot he was about to throw so I just went. And if i was in his way like bruh the ball return was dividing us 🤷‍♂️ idk he was mad at me for that for a while...

[@mks3057]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣YUP!!!!

[@RoldanRR00]

Towel on the ball return is fine, but NOT when they put it on someone else's ball or the air fan. That's a no from me dawg.

[@raoulduke2820]

You forgot other peoples free-range children from several lanes down running in front of your approach.

[@lockedonlaw]

OK. #2 ... the person on 2nd ball has the right of way.

[@thebestian]

There's no tables at my league, just seating far behind the ball return, so I have to keep my shammy up there. If I didn't, bowling would take forever. But I never put it on someone's ball or in the way. Everyone does it there. But if people were putting it on my ball that would irritating for sure.

[@crimsontide1980]

Is there not a console with a scoreboard? We usually jist drape ours over the top of the console.

[@jvmiller1995]

I cant stand people loading the rack up. I have had nights that only 6 people on the pair and I would have to ask who has all the balls. You should get one on the return and one below if they have the rack and the rest stay in your bag or locker. Lane curtesy and people not knowing it even though they bowl weekly is my #1 hate. #2 is people giving me advise I did not ask for... Especially if I am out bowling them. I also dislike when a person comes back from bowling telling me how they messed up & what he or she should of done different to have had a strike or making excuses for themself. Like that is nice you know... Why are you telling me? If you know then sit down shut up and do it right next time! People dropping food or splashing their beer on the floor and not cleaning it up so I can step in it and stick. People putting baby powder all over their shoe. Those that try and let a pin count after their ball jumps out of the ditch to hit it. To many others to name.
