Prather has great fundamentals, and he has elite touch and control. Most importantly, he has proven that under the biggest lights, he can control his emotions and execute with the best of them. In the Tournament of Champions, he beat Rash, Belmo, Simo and Bill O'Neil to earn his second $100,000 prize. That's practically the Mt. Rushmore of bowling right now. A truly amazing performance!!

[@aroe3outify]

Prather is a beast! My favorite bowler on tour.

[@sauronseyescream8394]

Same here. I just started watching the PBA events and really enjoy watching him bowl. For the power he has it looks so effortless

[@aroe3outify]

Tell me about it.

[@ertpecsertpecs]

Him and Kyle Sherman are both up there on my list. They get on it pretty good but they're not only about the revs like all two fingers guys or bowlers like EJ Tackett. Granted I love watching EJ but Clark Kent here and Kyle both have the form and release that you'd want to emulate and teach.

[@satisfy501]

*Prather has a really good voice.*

[@ashleywalls4097]

Like father like son. Growing up, I used to go watch his dad bowl every time I could. Same great hand.

[@frankskyle1]

Nice video, thanks! But I would like to see the variations of Kris's release in slow motion.

[@davidgodinezful]

Thanks. Excellent info.

[@dennis300cr]

Prather is my favorite new pro, love this guys smooth approah and of course he's Clark Kent in disquise! lol

[@paultucker9753]

That was super informative... thanks!

[@corbinthepieguy0249]

Randy… you ok there? Breathing really hard after those couple words. Love Prather btw

[@Bagdaroflife]

Prathers form is so beautiful

[@billylusk7207]

He has the smoothest shot on tour

[@MultiDavidellis]

Good stuff.

[@user-mv7et9uh4b]

Chris helps teach throwing spars please. But using ball strikes. Thank you so much

[@WhiteImpediment1]

Good lord, Randy sounds like he’s out of breath after every 3 words 😂😂

[@djsully8071]

Zach Ilgenfritz I thought the same thing 😂

[@danielmaddox7792]

Sadly, watch him when he took on the PBA vs now. He’s taken on some weight. Maybe he has asthma. Use to be super fit

[@harveywallbanger2899]

Zach Ilgenfritz And he miss pronounces all 3 of those words.

[@ThatGamerLife519]

Hes not out of breath people talk like that

[@hansumcapone]

The compression applied to his audio was a little much. It amplified his breaths to the same volume as his speaking voice. But dude inhales a lot. 😂

[@russellgilbert3453]

Kris tho dat thang pretty good!

[@nonow6018]

I like kris prather

[@jeffclark6552]

Bowler of the year?

[@278triplicate]

Could you please share your thumb and finger pitches?

[@bobbyscott3825]

Yup Prather is a great release

[@videll7kelly]

He is a bad man

[@johnburden9109]

No, no, no. If you're going to get tips from Kris Prather, ask him about his foot work. Him and Kyle Sherman are masters of footwork.

[@PNKFedora]

How so might I ask?

[@reptile9243]

@john burden, alright no need to hide your foot fetish. This video is about the release of the ball and different releases.

[@nathandeuitch5753]

REPTILE 92 very funny

[@ertpecsertpecs]

@John Burden haha. I just got done saying how Clark Kent and Kyle Sherman are two of my favs to watch and if you want to learn or teach or show somebody what a great form and style are to watch them. They get on it and have plenty of power, but it's not like EJ and people like that where it's only about the revs. These two have the perfect combination of form/approach, release and different styles of releases, power, and ability to play just about any part of the lane. I was watching Kyle go straight up the 2nd arrow the other week lol

[@daviddixon6408]

Chris Prather aka The Shark.

[@NO-FONT_4592]

Why is the breathing noise so loud

[@lorenzogonzales3506]

Lmao

[@ertpecsertpecs]

The mic must have been positioned funny or the volume levels for Randy's mic must have had an avl on it so when his was quiet it cranked the gain up

[@chriss.1242]

The Shark

[@ChrisPBacon9]

* loud inhaling noises *

[@ChrisPBacon9]

@Cletus Anfernee Jackson i think its just sensitivity from the mic, inhaling a ton of air like that is normal when doing things like singing or presenting stuff. If you listen hard enough on songs you can hear it. Its just funny because its so pronounced here

[@patrickwall8517]

Pedersen should've been taking notes.

[@NowhereFast12]

Def didn't picture a smoke show with purple hair coming out to kiss Prather. Well done dude!

[@ertpecsertpecs]

Yeah his wife isn't bad but you should pay attention to who she brings with her some times. I was watching some older shows on the dvr so I don't remember if it was one of those or this past week's show but she has a friend that's smoking too, with dark hair that's a little less than shoulder length that's dyed purple too.

[@Ironfangzu]

Bill O'Neil and Sean Rash's wives are smoke shows also.

[@garla5851]

Hopefully this Pandemic and the USBC’s new 2020 Bowling 🎳 Ball drilling restrictions and rules,don’t put The Final Nail In Bowling’s Coffin ⚰️

[@ifyoudidntknownowyoudo6326]

What's the drilling restrictions and rules? Its bowling. If you don't have a complaint or excuse you aren't a bowlers. 😂😂😂😂

[@rogercarlson2330]

Two handers are sewing that up.

[@patrickwall8517]

"What allows you do so many things with your hands." My response would've been-"My girlfriend lets me".

[@calvinmessick9406]

Tommy jones best release

[@harveywallbanger2899]

Calvin Messick No, Tommy too hard struggles with constant delivery.

[@TraumaER]

Harvey Wallbanger yeah he struggled to win 19 titles and counting...

[@harveywallbanger2899]

TraumaER Tommy will never catch Norm Duke and Walter Ray who both have over 40 titles. Tommy rolls to hard I’ve seen him give away 19 titles. So he doesn’t qualify for best release, just saying.

[@calvinmessick9406]

His release is still power

[@cameronmorgan0203]

Tommy Jones is a damn beast

[@20alphabet]

Randy Pedersen would kill any sport he played. Bad, bad, bad for everything.
