This Tournament Had A Crazy Finish!

[@daviddixon6408]

Lanes are breaking down because when Bowlero takes over a center they basically do away with leagues and leave the center go down the toilet. Then when they host a big tournament their lack of maintenance and management shows up in a big way. Same thing happens at the 2 Bowlero centers in my area.

[@seand.3085]

Literally! The one near me in Woodland Hills, CA is dogshite. Straight driest lanes I’ve ever bowled on and even damaged my equipment a bit. So disappointed. I literally created a yelp account for the first time ever to leave an honest negative review. Lol

[@deuces6195]

100% accurate. Same thing happened recently in Georgetown TX.

[@CoachAshley1983]

Nailed it! Bowlero is detrimental to the future of our sport!

[@mikejamrozy775]

That makes alot of sense. I bowled at this center for 20 yrs. I moved from Milwaukee area to Tampa area and my friend told me there are no leagues there! That's a 72 lane house right there...

[@toddfreeman4725]

Yup

[@hooligan_3]

Great video, guys! Honestly, the PBA Tour needs to make sure your channel is mentioned on every telecast, regardless of whether either of you are actually on it. I honestly don't believe there are two better ambassadors for the sport and the tour. Good luck on Shark!

[@dougbarnes753]

Simo's plastic is impressive, but it was the loft shots from Ryota and Via that were just mind blowing, past the arrows between 35 and 40, so much precision!

[@matttf2538]

Yeah but Ryota finished 109th in the Scorpion. Yeah it looks good on camera but it's a ridiculous shot and not one you could ever hope to win with.

[@dougbarnes753]

@@matttf2538 Sure, that's easy to say, but Chris Via is 5th overall and was also playing that same loft. So... maybe, just maybe, the loft game is something someone could hope to win with and it comes down to other factors like experience, ball choice etc... If the best bowlers in the world didn't think they could win by lofting the left gutter then they wouldn't do it.

[@bowlingxp8345]

@@dougbarnes753 Personally i wouldn't do it. Because it adds more uncertainty to the shot. I'd rather do something straight like Simo did.

[@matttf2538]

@@dougbarnes753 Easier for a 2 hander to throw that shot. He still won't win throwing it though. Keep the ball on the lane.

[@kyleb5169]

The pattern looked BRUTAL towards the end. Lots of splits and I wasn't sure what you could do to strike. Sounds like a place the PBA needs to not go back to if the breakdowns continue to keep happening. DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN that kid got 1 hell of a loft game!

[@kristenanderson5273]

Loved the ending of the video, lol! Great content as always. Of all the bowling-related channels on KZbin, you guys have the best format in terms of showing other bowlers, recapping the tournaments, as well as hearing what other bowlers have to say.

[@davidgodinezful]

Brad Kyle Great Great vlog. Learned alot about your approach

[@51Happy69]

Love your video’s! I’m an old guy, 71, and wish I had bowled when I was your age! I started in 2016 and enjoy bowling in two senior leagues! I really study you guy’s releases to help me improve! I do have to use a 13# ball because of a slight heart condition, but do have some 14# balls when I feel stronger! I just really love the game and wish you guys the best of luck in this new season of bowling!

[@krisgamer008]

Is this at the Bowlero Chesapeake?

[@muribry]

For those of you playing the home game, Kevin Kullman suggested putting surface on the clear Belmo spare ball at the Illinois State Tournament in 2017 at Northgate Lanes in Galesburg, IL...where I shot my best set of the weekend on the double burn for singles. Cut to a few years later, I came 5th at the Petersen utilizing the same ball/surface. ...Before there was Simo, there was Kullman/Murillo...

[@thomasmason5997]

I'm totally amazed by the bowlers who can avg 230. It looks so hard to get the ball to a spot (that isn't very big), then have it do the right thing, and also go through the pins correctly. This format favors power, versatility, repeatabilty, then accuracy.

[@evanw2164]

So many others have said it but your content and format are just awesome. Wish you guys nothing but success on the lanes, but even your low days make for relatable viewing. Keep grinding!

I really enjoy your videos!!

[@johnsandyeggo4789]

Cool video. How about a video explaining why you have such diverse starting points. From about board 10, to outside of board 39. Realize it’s due to changing lane conditions. But as a newer bowler it would be great to hear the explanation.

I know editing takes a lot of time during a busy tournament week, but we fans would love to see comments from Coach Daniel if he's there, or even Bill, as to what he's having the guys work on/adjust during play. And also, comments from the ball reps on what balls are working/not working, and why. Keep up the great work! Let's go guys!

[@williambrownsjr.7854]

Especially if we have dreams of getting there one day.

[@getsmartpaul]

Does Dennis do the camera work and video editing?

[@BradandKyleBowl]

Only person that travels with us is Dennis and he does the filming, social media content and editing. Ball reps usually are focused on making sure people are striking and don’t usually want to be on camera. Most of the time in the bowling center everyone is locked in to getting as many pins as possible. (Sidenote from Dennis: I was up til 3am editing this one then woke up at 8:30 so we could get to the bowling alley on time. I’m tired as hell 😂😂)

[@usafvet5602]

Kyle I feel ya. It's the same at my house as well...breakdowns are the worst, especially when your in a groove.

[@hazalmohammed]

I believe a Bowlero having lanes breaking down. The one I go to never seems to have lanes oiled. When you get a Hustle Wine snapping to the pocket, you know you're in for a long day.

Simo( aka Little Anthony), Anthony and Sean Lavery-Spahr use to work together at Plano Super Bowl in Plano, TX. I've known him since he was 15 and watched him win $5k in Brackets during a tournament. I told him that he was going to be a star way back then. He's definitely special!!!

[@johnzink3309]

thx

[@bowlingxp8345]

Great video guys. Simo thought of drilling a plastic probably because of past experience and because he knows he can throw it like that. Many others can't throw plastic like that and be confident they will shoot 200+.

[@braydenmason7455]

Will the coaching be virtual

[@martycocking224]

Yo brad I've watched these videos for quite awhile and you were talking about how coach jaz had you working on your trail leg... But you have abandoned that and are more elevated now is there a reason behind it?? Cause not gonna lie i incorporated that to my practice routine and def made a difference. Anyways love to watch you and Kyle thru the years thank you

[@eagleheart76]

I did not know that was "legal" to stand in another lane to approach your own lane. That kid who stood 1 lane to his left then loft it halfway down his lane on the right...that was sick LOL

[@thetades]

Breakdowns and Bowlero go hand in hand. Everyone needs to appreciate their local family owned centers and give them as much business as possible. I’ve bowled in many Bowleros, including Wauwatosa and they are all the same. Overall dirty and absolutely no lane or pinsetter maintenance at all. The end of bowling may be closer than we think.

Kyle and D-Tang have some of my favorite forms. EJ always scares me. Like every shot he's taking out all his anger that his wife's favorite bowler is Belmo.

[@strongereveryday2302]

I agree on Tackett lol, but I hate D Tang's form. He has no revs, no power and his ball just tumbles with his awkward release. Too high of a back swing, too much wrist movement. He also never ever plays straight angles when it calls for it. This past year he has developed so much wrong with his game and release. Its just a mess this year and his results have showed it.

[@ripvanrevs]

@@strongereveryday2302 You must have missed the block on Monday where he averaged 255 for 5 games and led the field.

[@matttf2538]

@@strongereveryday2302 I would disagree. Tang is not the biggest guy but for his size he generates some decent revs and speed. He is second in the Shark right now.

Brad, IMO I think you're trying to hook it too much. I understand the fronts are fried but you are great at staying up the back and keeping it in front of you as much as possible. Difficult to beat the high rev guys from the left. I think you're trying to MAKE IT WORK and it's just very tough. Just a thought.
