How to Play a Pattern: IT DEPENDS. This has been my Ted Talk.

[@onions86]

Absolutely! But seeing how the pros approach getting lined up and equipment selection really helps!

[@outlawbullyinc8257]

Bowling this pattern for the first time this week very interested to see how it goes lol PBA league has been kicking my ass

[@kristenanderson5273]

Nice dance moves, guys. If you need lessons, I can help, lol! 😂 Great advice on the 41’ Bear pattern. I bowled on it back in January and no one gave me tips on how to attack it.

[@scottythompson940]

Cool video talk tech bowling bowling lanes Brad and Kyle

[@3lweezY_Alaska]

Thank you for these awesome videos.. huge help!! Yall explain things so good!

[@cullyfulce7939]

Hey Brad. We spoke in Overland Park about one of these videos from 4 years ago, how much it helped me. Glad to see these are coming back. Keep killing it

[@raymah7]

Love this video. Looking forward to more 👊

[@Nailv]

I love watching the videos. Because You guys are very Understandable.

[@coryfitz93]

Love the videos i wish this was posted few days ago. And we did are league tournament on the bear and it gives me a lot of trouble. Keep up the work id love to meet both of you sometime. Keep rollin

[@therealvongogh]

Bowled on this, it’s so hard 🤣

[@sonofnothing]

Circa 2017-18, I bowled 2 summer leagues (total ~70 games) averaged 172 on the Bear pattern. Like threading a needle. Typically I avg 220 on a house shot.

[@thebowltube]

That’s interesting that there’s not enough reactive hook with reactive balls on this pattern. I’d figured that the GEM would be the perfect ball for the pattern.

[@seymourcarson]

Thanks for the giveaway guys! Actually was lucky enough to be one of the winners! Went with the gold label!

[@DJMcRae08]

I'm so glad you guys made this. I played the Bear a few weeks ago and went with urethane down 10. Glad to know I played it relatively correct. Bear felt like a higher volume house shot to me but I could be wrong

[@tmta90]

I.

[@hrsey71]

every video i see talks about high rev, high speed, but not all of us bowl like that- can we see a video tailored to low speed, low rev players? layouts, balls, strats etc.

[@TheJosieyup]

Great video guys! Not sure if you've already done a video on this but it'd be nice having you explain what leaves should tell us about our throws, balls, or where we're standing. For example, I throw a Nova down lane and leave a 3-6-10, how should I adjust off that leave? Or if I leave a a split? Should I do a ball change? Move left, aim right? I think you guys do a great job at explaining your thought process behind making adjustments and I'd like to hear from y'all on this. I know there's a lot of different variables that can contribute to different leaves so maybe we can do a typical house pattern with a mid range rev rate player? Also, still waiting for that Brad & Kyle ball!

[@uhDart]

Thank you for this because I am bowling a tournament to win my spot into a regional!!

[@jonathanshaw5526]

Great video always like to get advice on how to read the lanes better. I think it would be cool if after youve been on it for awhile you took shots showing like game2,3,4,5 etc progression and what ball choices you made and why

[@neilfrank2198]

Funny hip dancing 😂🤣 Thanks guys for all the info and tips

[@onions86]

Bring these back!

[@teresavicario5848]

Id be happy to figure my league pattern!

[@NorthwestCoasters17]

Bowling on the Bear this weekend....however on wood lanes....so lucky me 😅

[@hunkybrewster491]

Awesome! will you also be doing other oil patterns? Like Phoenix and Cheetah?

[@llP_Tc]

They did the cheetah but not phoenix

[@user-tp1mf6li9g]

BRAD AND KYLE!!! One hi, two I love you guys and helped me so much and 3 how can I focus on target more?

[@neilfrank2198]

Where are you looking on release?? I start by looking at front dots for warm up then 1 foot farther . See if my eye likes that . But I mostly focus on 2nd -3rd arrow area

[@user-tp1mf6li9g]

@@neilfrank2198 currently I stand on the far left dot and aim at the centre arrow and want to aim on the 3-2 arrow on the right

[@joshuaslosser6988]

We want to see Kyle bowl!

[@JusticeExplorer]

Don’t worry Kyle, I appreciated that at 2:25 😂

[@D3AThCAl2DS]

I feel like the exponent is a high rev vibe. Where as you don't need as many revs with the vibe for the same reaction... hmm vibe transition to exponent sounds good now.

[@nevinkinzel]

Does throwing urethane on the outside on a pattern like this, at least in practice, push some of that oil inside to create more hold?

[@user-gt1wr1vh3i]

Would the Duo and Xponent belong in the same bag or are they too similar?

[@millsdude]

Love the dance moves in describing the Phaze V motion 😅. Really like this vid, great breakdowns and descriptions. I think you guys do the best instructional vids.

[@RocafellaJiggaman]

Surface adjustments?

[@HelpMeFlyIt]

If you can’t throw the Revenant on this then Storm missed out on a great opportunity since it smells like a Bear Claw! 😂

[@GhostofKaiser]

Really depends on topography, imo. Bear’s not the hardest, but certainly playable with reactive. That said, have to make your shots, like any PBA pattern.

[@MrICURNVS]

What surface was that gem at?

[@howardcornish1492]

The beer pattern would gain more followers.

[@CommandoP]

On patterns like this, you either make shots or you don’t, even with the correct ball in hand. These patterns tell you the truth about your execution and ball choices.

[@runnerboy6886]

First first!

[@jeffnewman8261]

Are you bearish on this pattern? 😂

[@nicholauscurphey3925]

talk too much

[@Gary123P]

Stop talking so much just bowl

[@Nailv]

They are teaching you how to bowl on this pattern. Of course they're gonna be talking.
