[@ryanbrazill926]

@@MetrohMan he seems to get so frustrated so fast. Hurts to see my favorite bowler that way. If he just stopped trying to rip it in a lot of these situations and instead moved a board or two right then he would be having a lot of these problems. At least that’s how it was on some of the shots in this video

[@wyattwilliams4373]

Ej be choking a lot now days I don't get it what happen to the confidence he had three years ago.

[@pablolacruz2652]

Choking definitely weighs on you to the point where you are subconsciously wondering where your next bad shot is going to happen. He probably needs a few sessions with a sports psychologist.

Dang. Helluva match.

[@strongereveryday2302]

Ej needs to lay off the speed. He overthrows it out of anger and loses concentration. Not very mentally tough. I have noticed it for a long time now.

[@PrivateBanker1911]

Although Jesper eventually won, I still believe that "2-game total pins " would be better. Just think, one could throw a 300 in the 1st gm and still lose the match. Where's the fairness in that!!!

[@Ironfangzu]

But that's how it goes in every major sport. NBA, MLB, etc. You win the first NBA game by 35 points, lose the second by 2 points. The series is tied 1-1. The points never carry over from game to game. The same in baseball, hockety, etc. I can't think of a single sport where you're playing in a playoff series and the points carry over.

[@PrivateBanker1911]

@@Ironfangzu don't know how many tournaments that you have bowled, but in similar formats, it is "always total pins " if you bowl more than a 1-game match. NEVER, have I seen where you bowl multiple games but the pin count doesn't matter. Only PBA does this for the event. Even on the regional level, it's 2-game TOTAL pins not the first to 2.
