I'm just glad that Fox is doing the work and getting these out shortly after the telecast.

[@rogerrosen2323]

seems this is after the allen park michigan last weekend dont know how they qualified fast ej mentioned he has to bowl again to qualify for sunday the next day from this so its 2 tourneys in a week

[@watson956]

@@rogerrosen2323 It's five tournaments in 3 weeks at the world series: Doubles, Cheetah, Scorpion, Shark and World Championship, all held at the same venue. I think it's a great innovation to the schedule (it started a few years ago).

[@jasperfontenot6016]

Prather vs Siimonsen was fun to watch! Those First 6 Frames were exciting! I could watch EJ Tackett bowling all day

[@ObjectiveEthics]

EJ is my favorite bowler on tour. So glad to see him pick up a trophy 🏆 after 5 t.v. let down matches. He definitely came thru on this night.

[@chadwhedbee5581]

When EJ struck in the 7th with that late bouncing messenger, I knew he would win. Tackett has one of the best looking swings I've ever seen!

[@WhatWeKnow-cn9dv]

I agree that Tackett has an awesome swing. Going back a few years, one of the most beautiful swings and releases was by Hall of Fame bowler Amaleto Monicelli. He had a release that you never heard the ball touch the lane. In the later part of his career he became a "full cranker." He changed up completely and still succeeded.

[@Wolfman12395]

Shota seemed pretty nervous during certain shots, but it was definitely a great title match when all was said and done. Hoping we get to see more of him on TV again in the near future :)

[@gideon7932]

Especially on that right lane.

[@GamingFanactic911]

You can tell Shota tried his very best. Sport is no joke but kudos to him for a hard fought battle. Congrats to EJ as well. ^^

[@mythoughtsarefreedom]

Great to see Kawazoe back stateside!

[@Chicken_o7]

I was really rooting for Shota to win... But his execution on the right lane was poor, probably too nervous. EJ deserved the win!

[@user-fy3tg6hs2q]

さすがに強敵すぎた

[@pacho11]

翔太さん〜！！！！！PBAで見れるの幸せです！！

[@zodiackeeler9169]

That 5 pin was so DIRTY lmfao

[@WesleyWei]

Sad for Shota, although it was nice seeing him on the PBA show. He did so well besides his nerves. But also, so happy for EJ and him finally winning in this season. He just played too well! Congratulations to all! It was a really great telecast for this season.

[@user-br1yw4iu2p]

最高の試合でした！

[@user-jp5ht9qh8d]

川添プロが負けてしまったのは残念だけど一番好きなプロのEJ Takettが優勝したのは素直に嬉しい。 ナイスゲームでした！

[@brianschumaker5912]

It sure is nice to see 2 one handers in the finals.

[@sawnose4775]

Word.

[@mrjeb1208]

Really rooting for Kawazoe that last match, I don't like to root against EJ but I wanted to see Kawazoe win on PBA, just a shame he couldn't get those last 2 shots on the right lane where they needed to be, hope to see him again soon!!

[@getreal6124]

I feel awful for Shota, not being able to trust himself to throw a relaxed shot on the right...but it should have been EJ's time to win, and it was. He pured nearly every shot off his hand tonight. :)

[@ohya3481-Bowling_Drum]

川添プロ、USA挑戦お疲れ様でした。　かっこ良かったで～！次は優勝だ！！　Go、Shota！！

[@user-bo3vo3cy2i]

川添惜しかった。最初のスペアなんてボール落として跳ねてたね。あんな緊張してガチガチになってるの見たことない。そして、コメント欄で日本人のPBA参戦を歓迎して応援してくれている人が沢山いて嬉しくなりました。

Poor Shota was so nervous, but even at his best I don't think EJ was beatable as he was playing absolutely incredibly.

What I don’t get is Kris had the front 5 with the Attention Star on both lanes then switched to the DNA Coil on the right but stayed with the Star on the left. He never should have switched to the DNA Coil TBH

Is that an overseas bowling ball Shota is throwing. I cannot find any information on it or that it even exists

NO. New Storm release in May ..... Lightning Blackout

[@tgardner866]

Lightning blackout? I don't see that ball anywhere. Anyone know how to buy one?

[@johnfkennedy3000]

It must be an unannounced ball. I remember on the day of the solar eclipse storm posted something about a new blackout being announced soon

[@kevinbadburn03]

Hey Randy....see, not just eurothane 10 pins. Reactive leaves flat tens also. Show a little class and stop knocking eurothane.

[@christopherjackson7177]

Yeah, Randy does have some personal vendetta against urethane. He complains about it in most telecasts. I think it's the bowling purist in him. He begrudgingly credits two handers too, unless they're Belmo or Simo. He gives those two the proper respect because he'd be blasted if he didn't. In future casts, watch how he talks about Troup, Svensen, and other high level two handers that aren't Belmo and Simo.

[@rogerrosen2323]

[@jamesrich8463]

These trophies are way to big...they need to make them smaller...it's a monster.

[@jimmyjames6267]

Where is Troup???

[@bnegs521]

He had that kid recently I think it's affected him

[@Ironfangzu]

These are all great bowlers. But EJ was clearly the best tonight. Ball after ball, all high flush. He had a couple of ring 10's in the title match, but Shota was way off. I think he only threw one really flush pocket hit. The rest were brooklyns, light carries, etc. No way he was going to beat EJ tonight.

[@bduddy55555]

Did anyone tell Shota that in the US the pocket is between the 1 and the 3? In all seriousness he was obviously really nervous, feel bad for him.

[@seymourbutts5277]

"seeking the first PBA title of his illustrious career" huh? 🤨

[@Finnybud]

He's won a ton in japan, sort of like when a japanese baseball player comes to america after dominating the japanese league

[@TehWin3]

He's basicly the GOAT in japan. Really nice guy and coach on the side too. He has a youtube channel aswell! It's a bummer his nerves caught him sending the ball badly to the left at bp

[@agoo7581]

You know America isn't the only country with pro bowling, right?

[@christopherjackson7177]

Shota has 21 JPBA titles in his career. He's the Walter Ray of Japan.

[@T_Chugs]

flat 5 LMFAO 1:11:10

[@PrivateBanker1911]

About time that they started giving respectable trophies out again. The money was always great, but there is something to be said looking at a nice piece of hardware in your home.

[@isaacghareeb6751]

Randy is wrong. Those lanes aren’t even 2 years old yet

[@jakecostello8400]

Fanta has got to be the worst commentator I’ve ever seen. Bring back Dave Lamont Dave Ryan even Rob stone I don’t even care

[@chasbari]

What.. you don't like shouty hype man who says nothing of real insight or importance? Sounds like he is a parrot who learned all the boilerplate hyperbole of sports greatest moments from some old video from the 1980's.. He just flips the page and says another one. Not every single shot is epic, heroic, life altering.. please make shouty man go away.

[@christopherjackson7177]

I don't understand all of the crying in the comments about two handers and two handed bowling in general. Everything changes over time. For millennia, we thought we were the center of the universe, till it was proven different. We kept believing the Earth was flat too, till it was proven different. In bowling, we thought one handed was the only way to do it, till it was proven different. Grow with the times or get lost to time. C'mon people!

[@ia5263]

Simonsen embarrassed himself again. Yelled "Lets go", bragged with his jersey, looked cool, yet barely beat Prather and completely lost it to EJ.

[@Mario-cv5el]

[@teresavicario5848]

I dont think women two handers will ever be the norm. We have to contend with getting around the chest. If you are flat chested, it might work.

[@Gumbocinno]

1:01:16 That's the weirdest spare shot I've ever seen
