How to Bowl on Difficult Medium Oil Patterns

[@theyogov2]

Does anyone else love that brad has to turn and see if he makes the spare in all these videos?

[@Nicoli_Rees]

and his lil jumps 😂

[@NobodyGotTimeForThat]

You guys must be reading my mind. My man B Rad says it all... picking up spares is absolutely critical to carrying a decent 200+ score at the end .. during our shadow practice, I will throw once or twice at the 10 and/or 7 just to practice. The reason being is, you could hit the pocket all night but you may be leaving corner pins and scratching your head but you gotta knock them spares down. Keep it up guys.. so far my favorite pattern is Big Ben. I shot 911, my teammate shot 990 in 4 games for 1901 scratch.

[@zezo3002]

Brad's little hop everytime he cleans up the spare is damn funny 😂

[@MaintenanceMan00]

Being a first year bowler this honestly really helped me on reading the pattern on the lane to help find where I need to be instead of ultimately starting too far left and really trying to open my angles up off the bat. Being a 2 hander I’m kind of “afraid” to play straighter but this will definitely help me in practice on league night to find a good line quickly to hopefully put up some good scores.

[@xtravibez4739]

You saw in Brads face how proud he was of that spare 😂

[@cbrdealer]

Almost as proud as when he mentioned how much merch has been selling. Brad "money" miller.

[@willydale]

perfect timing cause I have a tournament this weekend lol thanks for the help and keep up the good work

[@jadenbrown4826]

Woohoo. Brad and Kyle content

[@BasketBowlers]

I’ve heard of bowlers using the practice time to create a buffer/track on the out of bounds part of the lane using their strongest ball. They’ll use the first half of practice to purposely miss right. That supposedly creates a track so if you play your normal line and miss right, the ball can hook a little more towards the pocket.

[@videll7kelly]

Most people break the lanes down like you say

[@baderabd2000]

This is exactly the video I needed to watch today. I oiled the US Open 2022 37ft flat pattern, and the best I can shot was a 160 was 9-spares and 2 splits. I went crazy on the lanes, but the pattern really did test my patience. I would recommend everyone to give the pattern a shot, it really shows you how versatile you should be to battle the toughest of conditions. Thanks for the amazing content, keep it going, and I hope I get the chance to see you again sometime soon :)

[@flippperboy]

Try bowling on it pair to pair while others have moved the oil all over. That can really test your patience

[@bryandegroat857]

My home alley just switched to this pattern and best I've shot is 170. I use to avg 185 and threw many 200s. Thanks for the tips!!

[@louiscsanko3673]

Very Good content. Any bowler can practice on a tough shot and become a better shot maker with persistence and a good coach to correct any mechanical errors. Great Episode, thanks to Brad & Kyle.

[@philvance8063]

Thanks!

[@dp4831]

Signed up for your coaching with the ball. Already learning a lot just looking at posts by members and responses by the coach! Also looking forward to my Storm IQ Tour Solid to be coming in the mail!! Love your content and coaching!! David

[@SeanGOMaraSr]

This video is awesome! Thank guys. Just what I was looking for!

[@ifyoudidntknownowyoudo6326]

Hey, any chance you could put the pattern on the video that you're throwing on?

[@jeremie15ify]

I just bowled in my first scratch bowling Tournament and the oil pattern was pba team oil pattern didn’t bowl my best games out of 80 bowlers I finished in the low 60s I took your advice so thank you brad and Kyle your videos did pay off for me

[@azulcrema1O]

So if you’re bowling on this pattern and you start out that far left would you have to move more left or right for game 2 or 3?

[@flippperboy]

Came back and reference this too. Thanks for this video 😊

[@Kristor333]

Just played on wolf 🐺 last night and won all my matches by leaving makable spares and then executing on them! And I’m a high rev player, so it rewarding to to beat the straighter low rev guys on a tough pattern.

[@zjbell700]

On that kind of pattern how long does it take usually to transition to something that gives you a little more margin for error?

[@Striderman300]

It would have been nice to see one further left to see if you still got skid through the fronts or if you got early hook. But otherwise great advice and video. I just got done with Bear and TOC/Don Johnson and did something very similar.

[@G4zzzzz]

What a great show ... thank you thank you.

[@die7fox]

3:00 I know how to bowl all of my double wood now. 😆

[@deshorts3879]

The best part of the video is Brad’s spares.

[@guesswho9742]

Good job guys. My go to ball on flat oil is a 40 yr old yellow dot. Easy 200-210 every time. I may not win no. 1, but I generally cash.

[@aydengianes2515]

I will want to use majic line amf.😂 i have a couple yellow dot bleeders one polished like glass one 1500 grit polished

[@ACommentFromYouTube]

Just a heads up, the guys at The house bowling channel need just 3k subscribers to hit a goal of theirs. Anyone who likes this channel and hasn’t checked them out yet definitely should. More good bowling content never hurts.

[@Banana69999]

What about slowing down ball speed? Would that allow it to get to the pocket?

[@regepsm]

Question I Bowl on 38 ft modified house shot Cannot get my speed up. I back up on approach no dice. Using hybrid ball. I’m afraid if I use urethane I will be too slow. What is your thoughts?

[@yusufibnushafii9319]

Thanks 😁

[@trevorprzepiora7926]

When i'm bowling on something flat and heavy volume outside I usually throw something pin down and more in the middle to start with, or something low rpg with a 1000 or 2000 surface on it. Of course that's to start to get a read.

[@zachschaupert5414]

brad really just in it for the spares

[@Shane-ll6dd]

I wish you guys would come to Rome ny to help me with my game

[@SirJoelsuf1]

Serious comment, what I do as a super low rev and VERY speed dominant bowler is do what I call "riding the track." I target 15 at the arrows, put my target at the breakpoint at 10, and feed it there with a super aggressive ball with TONS of surface (500 at the MOST, usually 360 or 240) throwing it as hard as I can and also lofting it to the arrows. Usually yields about a 185 average or so with 1.5 or so opens per game without much effort. OR! I play right up the gutter with a pearl ball if the house I'm at has topography that allows it. They had US open in a no tap tournament I was at, averaged like 220 doing that.

[@kristenanderson5273]

Brad’s first shot pretty much sums up most of my shots in league. I can consistently hit the pocket but sometimes it comes up light and other times it might come in a little high. In order for me to strike, I have to be pretty accurate since I have low revs and not a whole lot of strength. Btw Brad and Kyle, if you guys are looking for a logo change, I have a few ideas. I’ve been getting back into drawing recently, so any design ideas, I’ll do my best to come up with something. 😉

[@Savage_Gamer777]

I’m a medium rev guy, working a lot to increase my rev. But I feel you. I ether come to high or to flat. Leaving lots of ten pins.

[@rieskame]

I only get to bowl on weekends after 20 hours of house balls have been on the lanes and the only oil is a few feet from the pins. How to play other than lofting?

[@cybersteel8]

Wow, this lane behaves a lot like the POS burnt up house shot my league plays on, weirdly enough. I often go right, slow it down, and try and get the shape into the pocket, basically working with the shots that Brad started off with. Seeing Kyle's shot, and Brad's adjustments, I should maybe play a bit more middle and don't try and break at the 10 board, but more like 15 or so. Keep it tight and in the middle of the lane. Interesting! I don't know if I got the right lesson out of this, but I hope everyone else learned that YOU GOTTA MAKE YOUR SPARES!

[@01_Rogue]

How about how to bowl dry oil? I work at a bowling alley and sometimes we aren't able to put fresh oil on all the lanes before we open and we have lanes with dry day 1-2 day old oil

[@scotthorner4417]

I have bowled on a pattern that feels like they oiled thru the deck. None of my balls moved had to point my ball but sucked. What should I look at.

[@steve4880]

Wouldn't on fresh though you'd want a strong solid and not a weak polished pearl to start? with a pattern like this? Or Urethane?

[@mutated__donkey5840]

The only thing is you want to stay as far right as possible with those strong covers so you leave head oil for later. With solids or urethane, you take oil away from the fronts and make it impossible to get the ball down the lane later, even with a polished pearl, so you don’t want to play in with those.

[@brianmizway9324]

2nd arrow from the right, down and in all day.

[@scottythompson940]

Cool video talk tech bowling brad and Kyle

[@jackson_horizon]

Can you guys make a shirt with a cool graphic on the back

[@jenniferszakacs]

Or u miss it entirely. I have done that . I am getting closer to 200 but I am still bowling in the low 100 which is good for me right now. I am bowling well considering. I am trying to break my average each week

[@flippperboy]

Can you please tell us how to be a high level spare shooter please....

[@aydengianes2515]

I would used the old amflite majic line ball on the us open red square pattern😂

[@JonathanMerlinSymmank]

I almost got my first ever 300 game using the Nova

[@svenmidholm8967]

But when next game is coming and so on ??

[@ronmelson2637]

Are you guys USBC certified coaches, if so, what level?

[@BradandKyleBowl]

Kyle is Bronze Level, Coach Daniel is Silver Level and Brad is… a top 20 bowler in the world. (So is Kyle, but at least he got his Bronze certificate 🤣🤣)

[@Vivid_art_visions_art]

Brad, what is the weight of your ball?

[@BradandKyleBowl]

15 pounds

[@blue_boi6724]

I see kyle wit the fresh cut.

[@bigboots6114]

surface and a strong ball makes a difference on that pattern to create area in practice, i mean you are using a burner from global

[@EZgamer0705]

Bowling on 2022 US Open pattern 2 on Friday, ball suggestions? Any tips?

[@louiscsanko3673]

The oil man controls the narative!!!

[@CurtisL8.3066]

You get the feeling that slow hooking the PB was brads best look? It peeled off the gutter on 40 flat lol

[@zirocannady9630]

I could watch Brad try to resist watching his spares all day

[@cookifymedia]

I hope Jon makes a good jingle with Thor singing Friday, Friday....

[@SirJoelsuf1]

Purple Hammer up the gutter. Works every time

[@aydengianes2515]

What about the old fab hammer purple hammer 😂😂😂

[@cbrdealer]

Kyle had to tell brad step aside so I can show the people a good shot... and 8 pin... LOL

[@BAIRU]

4 pin my guy

[@cbrdealer]

@@BAIRU Thank god you were looking in the comments to correct the pin number. My hero!

[@brandonhon2532]

I got distracted by brads spare when kyle was talking on the first throw. Am i the only one? 🤣

[@BradandKyleBowl]

According to the comments, NOPE 🤣🤣🤣

[@videll7kelly]

I noticed you took the front part of the lane out of play... Interesting

[@lockedonlaw]

Medium oil patterns are only difficult for bowlers who think rolling the ball as hard as possible with as many revs as possible is the only way to bowl.

[@ElvisElgarEllis]

Urethane looked good on the spare

[@dougmatteo7359]

I made all those mistakes in first 4 PBA50 tournaments

[@anthonyjovanovich8666]

Glad I’m not the only one . The learning curve was steep

[@dougmatteo7359]

@@anthonyjovanovich8666 Now I take notes once the tournament is over.

[@skategeezer1810]

Play straight up the one board. Lay it down on the one at the foul line and run it down 40 feet and take the shot out of the equation.

[@nicklauscepeda802]

Why did u go 5 first shot then all the way 17, why not slow moves 5 10 15

[@philvance8063]

One day I hope that we get to bowl together

[@ifyoudidntknownowyoudo6326]

Brad, why wouldn't you move 5 right.

[@Bosshawg614]

Why not just play same inside area but with a stronger ball

[@angrywally4087]

I bowled on Red Square it was Super flat

[@samysosa3086]

You guys could consider deleating the part of the intro where you wear a mask ! It is overdated ! Im not judging just telling a constructive comment ! What so ever... Great content, you guys are saviors 😎😎😎

[@ifyoudidntknownowyoudo6326]

Kyle has alot of hand/Revs than Brad.

[@brewzor4059]

Damn...those some pale ass legs. Not to mention the obvious skipping of leg day! 🤣

[@harveywallbanger2899]

I have to be honest you and Kyle should cut the cord on you tube this year. My humble opinion if you put all you r focus on bowling you will get what you really want. Cut the cord people will have to live on without you.

[@BradandKyleBowl]

You win funniest comment on this video 🤣🤣🤣💦

[@SirJoelsuf1]

Unless we get footage of one of them lofting the cap. Then it can come back haha

[@MGW1974]

Using knowledge gained from watching your vids (and others) I was able to attack the patterns of our local sport shot summer league and tie for co-champ and won the end night tourney over 3 patterns and 6 games. 👍 Thanks guys for all your work on here. 🎳💯
