Jason Belmonte says THIS about Norm Duke!

[@ItsLevell]

Belmo saying "Norm, spiritually, enter me." lol best part of this video haha

[@williamhiepnguyen]

Had to specify “Spiritually” lol

[@benwintermute2804]

Lol so funny. Love how bowlers are just so much more free to be themselves than other pro athletes

[@brittanym7491]

I'm glad he clarified..

[@ItsLevell]

@@brittanym7491 absolutely lol just funny the way he went about it

[@icanhearcolors3984]

"You got a friend in me"

[@kipp1755]

I think Brad struck a huge gold mine for video content with capturing the description of the oil pattern and layouts the way he did. And it'd be amazing to hear his experience on how he plans his ball rotation for tournaments according to that. You guys should consider adding that in the pool of subjects to create videos on. Either way, keep up the awesome videos guys! Love watching.

[@christ9359]

Yeah, a lot of their training content is super helpful, but they don't usually go into oil patterns, playing transition, balls, surface, etc., at least not in any detail. They are smart, so there's no reason not to.

[@Flannelban]

I laughed so hard when he said “a lot of straight guys love these kind of patterns” 01:37

[@Ewhit-je3os]

I love how belmo had to throw “spiritually” into that sentence 😂

[@simp3204]

"Spiritually" 🤣🤣🤣

[@bradbalderson8172]

That was an excellent question you asked everyone Kyle, be interesting to ask more of the players to see how they answer.

[@mikelombard21]

Amazing video. Love the interview style where we hear from all the pros in a casual environment. Great stuff boys.

[@tylerstine784]

I hope like hell bj can grab some TV appearances this year, one of the most underrated bowlers in my opinion

[@jyee2217]

Thank you for these vids and the work you guys put into editing and posting. I recently got back to bowling after a 15 year break and these vids help me catch up on new developmens as well and learning about lane conditions.

[@drwisdom1]

I have been bowling constantly since 1979 and don't care a bit about techniques and advice. I watch Brad and Kyle because I enjoy their behind the scenes look at the life of being a pro bowler. I have been watching the PBA for 44 years and like to root for and against players based on both their shots and personalities. Their videos help me decide who are my favorite players or Patrick Allens.

[@joshuapickett9676]

This is my favorite video yet, so much information and content to absorb, and what a great question to ask pros

[@echoblender]

Great update and ideas! What you bring to us less than professional bowlers is wonderful. Keep up the videos and letting us live through your views.

[@drewdistefano4267]

See Brad is the man. He can see how good that Nova is. LOVE that ball

[@zezo3002]

Brad and his Nova is a better love story than Twilight! Good luck this week!

[@Pointless-fishing-adventures]

In regards to the skid down lane . It's related to the front to back taper on the pattern . Back in the old days we would say the buff zone was too short meaning the point that the lane machine stopped adding oil and began just buffing was too close the the end of the pattern. We could make the same pattern play totally different by changing speeds on the lane machine and altering the oil volume at the very end of the pattern. Also feels weird to see a tape Graph on the wall. Have not done those since the mid 2000's.

[@traviskirk3834]

When I bowled a junior tournament in 2018 I bowled on old wood lanes and on boardwalk and what your describing about the pattern is what was for the tournament feeling when our balls got down lane

[@Batterystang]

Nice compliment for Norm, also Parker's shot probably amazing too.

[@redheadnick3309]

I'm so upset that I didn't see this sooner. I live about an hour from Springfield and would've loved to meet some awesome bowlers!

[@snoochpounder]

Great informative video. It’s good when you go into details like that and the question was solid too

[@robertwillingham1965]

I learn so much from both of y'all's breakdown of different patterns. I'd be happy with 160 in these conditions. Nice to see Via & Belmonte striking with the Mix. I'm telling you, that ball is amazing! So smooth and controllable and hits hard. Shot 300-299-226 for my first 800 a couple of weeks ago with my Mix. Been waiting for the pros to discover the marvel of the Mix. Maybe not on last week's 49' flat, though!

[@louisfriend6369]

Hey I drilled my Nova pin down as well and it’s really been playing well for me. Interested to see your layout.

[@DuhImCowabunga]

We missed you brad at the HOA Adult Youth in Sugar Creek. Hope to see you at the next one!

[@mobysteve]

Quite nice to see BJ Moore again! You should have him on more often!

[@TheVlad1616]

I’d take WRW’s accuracy. Miss 1-2 single pin spares per year would be nice to have.

[@BornIn1500]

That would be mine, too.

[@trevorwakley2067]

Big question where do you look with you eyes do you look at the arrows or the break point

[@scottythompson940]

Cool tech bowling brad and Kyle

[@SpudMcKeegan]

David Ozio's smoothness

[@stilltlrforlife]

I like the patterns that make you play near the gutter, always scored best on those.

[@IAmTheEggMan111]

Great question

[@scorpion-ninja8228]

Brad! 12:01 But what about PBA guys using a 33 year old Ebonite Turbo (RED) Urethane? Old school, I still use this ball for spares and when conditions allow me to throw it up the gutter ish! :)

[@kuleulmoore3705]

So did they change the urethane formula to prevent further softening or is it unavoidable over time?

[@ReconRat3]

Wayne Webb’s hand and rev rate. I bowled on a team with Wayne way back at his brother’s lanes in Mass, and he could really turn it up!

[@skycarcass737]

Another great video and I just wanted to say thanks for all the free training and knowledge you provide on this channel. While I'm sure the membership is worth every penny, I think it's awesome that you don't keep everything behind a paywall. I really appreciate that. I was also wondering, how often during a tournament do the lanes get re-oiled? Is it just a once-a-day thing when the bowling center is being setup? Is it before each block of bowlers starts? Just something I've always wondered.

[@nickp300z]

What is the layout on the Nova pin buffer and dual Angle?

[@robertantio2530]

My desired attribute would be Fred Flintstone's twinkle toe approach

[@TeamIFDVideos]

So what is the benefit exactly to the brunswick oil machines?

[@spikenn616]

Yes, the scores are going to be high. Even though it's a sport shot compliant pattern, these guys are the best in the world and they will get it figured out. I mean you saw Justin Knowles and Frank Snodgrass both throw 300 in the PTQ. Anthony Neuer averaged 250 for the 8 games. It's going to be a Urethane carry fest.

[@larrymac5867]

NORM is my HERO!!!!!

[@MGW1974]

Keep explaining how you look at each pattern through the season. That's good stuff. 👍x💯

[@dubweezy]

Who were you talking about at 4:58 when you said "He likes to drink a lot"..??

[@DomClipzz]

Enter "Spiritually" LMFAOOOO

[@johnnyrock852]

I think the combo of Norm's versatility and Belmo's ability to analyze the shot would be lethal.

[@Zandresen]

Anyone know what white ball belmo was throwing?

[@jackeasum5383]

I think it is a storm mix

I'm just curious why Kyle is not bowling this tournament. I didn't see him mentioning why he isn't in it. Does anybody have an answer? Thanks

[@mikemoore5784]

Does the urethane rule also apply to the regional tour ?

Don't know if anyone in the comments could help me out on this, but what would be a good ''one ball to rule them all'' for a beginner? One that could be kept even as I gain experience

[@iconredesign]

Tropical Storm or something entry level. Predictable hook, won’t overhook, applicable on many oil patterns, easy to flatten out the wrist to shoot spares with

[@TheExpressionx]

Can any ball nerds let me know what ball Mikey Tang was using at the beginning of the video?

[@ap70621]

I love how Belmo clarified to "spiritually" enter him.

[@jerryhinkle3786]

Ok This may not be the right place to ask this question but I am looking for ideas to improve my ball speed. I am asking anyone . I am 60 years old and about a year ago I switched to the two handed style. I went from 16 lbs down to 14 and I use a 13 lb spare ball. My top speed with the 13lb ball is about 13.6 mph and with the 14 its typically 12 to 12.6. I have no skip step and my feet are like stone from neuropathy. Not the best for trying to speed up my footwork. Any help?

[@jerryhinkle3786]

@@stevenmckay3623 Thank you for the quick response I will check it out but I have been told it was mainly foot speed. My 16 year old son switched to 2 handed a little over a year ago and I wanted to be able to help so I switched. He is now better than I am it did not take him long he is probably mid 180 average and I am currently averaging 172 and I had not bowled in league for almost 10 yrs. take care tyvm for the responce.

[@browntrousersmoment]

Since you might be limited do to neuropathy trying working on your accuracy instead of forcing more ball speed.

[@DaMaxchi]

I'm 72 now and switched to 2 handed 2 years ago. I also struggled with ball speed and I found that speeding up my foot work helped a little, but the biggest gain in ball speed came from accelerating my downswing and release WITHOUT hitting up on the ball. In other words, having an efficient release without wasting energy is key to ball speed. Good luck to your progress!!! You can do it!!!

The one attribute for me is Walter Ray's shot commitment. He just never made a tentative shot or undecisive shot.

[@Brentster1953]

I think Norm always kept a bit of simplicity to his swing and approach. My ball arc seemed to be similar to Duke's too. Can't be a pro without repetitiveness, which I never had, to that degree.

[@hienvuong6071]

So funny how belmo had to clarify *spiritually*
