PBA Bad Breaks, Shots and Mistakes

Sometimes, bowlers can be legends on the lanes but let's look at some moments where things really didn't go their ways. Make sure you comment down below what kinds of videos I should make next!

[@Bowling_Planet]

Hi everyone! It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider supporting my channel here! www.buymeacoffee.com/bowlingplanet

[@atrocious_pr0xy]

I love when you see opponents react the same as if they had a bad split in a clutch moment. They understand the pain. Even casual players feel the pressure. It hurts.

[@Jaojao_puzzlesolver]

These are literally perfect shots being denied by unluckiness.

[@rowlffffff]

Stone 8 pins are bad breaks. Stone 9 pins (for a righthander) are bad shots.

[@ididntdoit3924]

@@rowlffffff They are? I thought stone 9s were just the result of the ball hitting the pins at too sharp of an angle. Or am I remember that wrong?

[@Bowling_Planet]

Kenneth Miner Was it because of this video or did you already know that Tom said that to Randy?

[@autumnbuttocovla4704]

Nah most theyre hitting too much head pin or not enough the pretty bad shots ngl

[@chiltepin6785]

That was the best part of the vid lol 😂😂 I've never heard ANYONE say that!

[@151bar151]

I think Randy rather meant it as a "category" of the throw, similar to winner in tennis, not that WRW is a loser

[@wikinfei]

@@151bar151 yeah, but it's funnier if you don't think of the way he actually meant it.

[@IrishEddie317]

One thing about Del Ballard Jr at 5:30. I watched that shot on TV. Next week, he was again bowling for the championship and needed just a few pins in the 10th to lock up the championship. He turns to the crowd and says "Guess where this one's going. Straight down the middle." And that was exactly how he threw it. Straight and hard and right at the head pin for the win. He learned his lesson.

[@Jaojao_puzzlesolver]

2:33 That's one of the rarest thing I've ever seen.

[@ryanscheatzle5904]

Mika Koivuniemi missing the 10-pin at the 68th US Open still hurts to watch. I was happy to see Norm Duke win again, but I was also heartbroken for Major Mika. This was his best season, and that pesky 10-pin screwed him over for a second time (the first was at the 2011 Tournament of Champions just a month or two before this one, where he got robbed of a perfect game in a _major_ during the semifinal match against Tom Daugherty’s 100 game). He still got 2011 PBA Player of the Year, though.

[@w.c.5302]

It is still painful to watch for me as well. I felt so bad for him when I saw it the first time.

[@daltondick5223]

If y’all thought that eighth in becoming a seven pin was bad you should’ve seen what happened at the bowling alley I work at. I am a mechanic and I was just clocking out win from the front desk I see someone hit high on the headpin the three pin kicks off the sideboard and slide the six pin all the way over to the seven spot. The seven pin was already knocked over so the six just took residence. These were on Brunswick fiber decks and we have seen plenty of out of ranges because of the slippery ass decks. I must tell you though the six becoming the seven pin is the craziest shit I’ve ever seen.

[@coopergates9680]

Wasn't there a _candlepin_ shot where the 5 replaced the 10?

[@jbsurge9812]

I asked my high school bowling coach one day during practice. What does it take to bowl well? Skill or luck? His answer: BOTH. You can hit the pocket 500 times in a row. But, you will not have 500 strikes.

I have seen a rare 2-6-8-10 split by a few bowlers. A 2-8-10 split is common. It does happen for a 2-6-8-10 split and converting a spare is very slim.

I’ve had the 5 pin slide over to the 7 spot and stand, and end a streak at 6 strikes in a row.

[@JabezBRO]

Are there any bowlers that actually just bowl straight without spinning ? Or is spinning just an easier way to get strikes like the technique ?

[@HarlemHyena]

Putting spin on the ball helps it maintain course and not get deflected too much as it rolls through the pins. Sorta like how a golfer puts spin on a shot to counter a strong wind.

[@dylansmith3660]

5:40 I have to admit... even crankers and high release players aren't guaranteed to strike or even hit their target every time. Watching this segment confirms that. It's kind of a waste of energy to backswing so high, IMHO. You can get good speed and good rotation if you aim better, find your target board, and don't emphasize so frickin' high of a release. If it's your style, then more power to you. Ugh... crankers. I respect your ability, but it doesn't always guarantee you'll hit that pocket.

[@coolcatcastle8]

you can’t risk changing your form like that, you’ll go out of rhythm and therefore have worse aim

I still can't deal with watching two handed bowling. Ugh... it's legal by PBA standards but it's just... weird.... Never thought I'd see bowlers needing two hands to get extra rotation. Take a cranker who can rock that ball's rotation and speed with one hand. THAT is what I'm used to seeing. It works, though, for Belmonte and Troup and they are smashing PBA tours with their delivery and release using two hands. I'm old school. 25 year+ bowler. Times are a changin'.

[@neonicplays]

The 2nd hand doesn't spin the ball tho
