I Can’t Believe I Did This At A PBA Tournament…

[@jenbishop9238]

It's crazy that as AMAZING as both you and Michael are, it's so hard to make cuts. You both are awesome, really enjoy the videos. Thanks for sharing both the bad and the good. Best of luck for the next outing!

[@cr2822]

Just keep pushing. It will make the wins much more gratifying.

[@Slinginghotlead007]

Wow. This game can humble you very quickly. Thanks for sharing this content.

[@jeffjohnson2731]

humble when winning and losing is the true nature of the sport... kudos for keeping your cool and just grinding. It will end up with wins eventually with that great attitude. :)

[@xXNomis9Xx]

Super humble.. this is why I like watching you're channel. Get em next time bud. - Keep that mind positive.

[@mikelombard21]

We're so proud of you. Great bowling. Keep your head up. The lanes were crazy. Again, so proud of you. You did great. Keep grinding you are amazing.

You'll get it buddy!! Keep grinding and pushing forward!! I believe in you!

Tough breaks Forest. Keep grinding my friend. Love your content and you attitude!

[@ForrestKritzer]

Thank you Keith! I appreciate you😎

[@jayeric75]

Conditions can change at any moment. We've all been there when suddenly you lose carry. I've just made it back from a severe leg injury and my first three games were 168, 158, 224. Just trying to trust the leg again and shake off the rust. Hang in there Forrest, you're a great bowler.

[@Keith-hutchinson]

Keep your head up your out there grinding and showing people they can compete if they try

[@pethomas1223]

I can't imagine what competing so well must be like, but you are awesome out there. Your style is so smooth and fluid. I feel bad that you lost your ball reaction. That had to be rough, but I appreciate your attitude and I know that you will be wowing us on the PBA Tour any day now! Keep grinding and keep the VLogs coming! You got this FK! 👍🏾

Feel your pain! In Alburquerque at the Nationals a long while ago First game shot82. No spares (218 Average) came back with 236 and 228 and won a bracket. Had a blind first game. Sometime ya just can't find it! You got this! I was next to John Handegard that set. He shot 216. He came back also!

[@scottashley3906]

Keep your head up Forrest!👍👍💯💯

[@mikelombard21]

Great bowling. I could not imagine competing at this level. I would come in last place every time, and I bowl twice a week. Great bowling. Can't wait to see what you achieve. Much love Forrest.

[@kjs.4904]

I'm still glad you made this video. It's been rough.

[@michaeldouglas8214]

Shot commitment from what i saw. one shot you were alligator arms the next you were fluffing the ball over your mark. Part of the learning experience we all go through at every level.

[@Ken_Leivonen]

Forrest, Sorry that you reaction went away, it is amazing how fast it happens, Every time that I think I have it figured out, it changes in a different way. Hang in there, your day will come, Ken

I felt for you in that last game mate, happens to the very best, bowling sure can be a very frustrating game 👍

[@FrekinSmart]

Real sorry to see the end of this video man. Don't let it get to you

[@HPontara1]

Keep going. You did well for most of the rounds. You tried to change when it was not going your way but it did not work out in the end. It happens, you win or you learn. gg

[@jhall3106]

Keep your head up, Forrest! You are an amazing bowler and you'll get 'em next time. I'm enjoying your KZbin channel and I'm already looking forward to the next time you post a video.

[@ForrestKritzer]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the support😃

[@fnrap10]

Your physical game is really good, your ballroll is so foward that when you have to get left and shape it with axis tilt you get trapped. Keep grinding!

[@coopergates9680]

End over end rollers need higher RGs so it doesn't puke, like a fast pitch, Hy-Road pearl, or Night Road

[@sethranney]

Keep your head up Forrest.

[@acommentfromayoutubeuser]

I bowled against Ivan and PJ in college back in the day. Their Fresno State teams were ruthless, lol.

[@nordattack]

That has totally happened to me before and I know your pain well! Sorry Forrest but thank you for sharing your experience.

[@ForrestKritzer]

Thank you for watching😃

[@NancySellers]

Yeah I envy the Kritzer form every time I watch him bowl! So smooth. Keep it up Forrest. You got this

[@SirJoelsuf1]

And yeah I had a similar experience at both the regionals I bowled at three or so years ago. First one, I was in the cut pretty much all day. Was a REALLY tough pattern (Cheetah...the "new" Cheetah which is way less scorable than it used to be) at a house where pretty much every pair played different. AND it was non-champions. Last three games I averaged 150. And just like that I'm in the lower third of the field lol. Second one had a whole bunch of former champions. The great Walter Ray himself included. I was actually AHEAD of HIM through three. But I stayed at my 185 average pace while he shot I think 800 for the last three (it was a one day event so six games instead of eight). Missed cashing by about 60 pins.

[@tpclinic]

I'm new to the channel but appreciate your giving me content to hopefully help my game. Hang in there and keep working. Thanks

[@DaJesta088]

Only thing I would have advised is lifting the ball a bit… Those last two games, every ball you threw you could see bleeding energy all the way down the lane.

[@DaJesta088]

Lofting, not lifting. Stupid autocorrect.

[@ForrestKritzer]

Yes I agree. Sometimes it’s a lot easier to see what’s happening on the lanes from a 3rd person view. After I watched it back, I realized that I should’ve added some loft the last couple games. We live and learn…

[@racingaerials4493]

[@squidly2112]

FYI, you didn't score great, but man oh man, your form is looking outstanding!! .. Just grind it out dude! .. you have such a fantastic form, one which I am trying to emulate (tough work for me, for sure, but I'm trying). You and Mr. 220 are awesome . just keep grinding guys, you are doing fantastic! .. you are going to have setbacks, but that's where you become stronger. It's like lifting weights, there's pain involved in order to get stronger. And just think, it's going to be tough to score another game as low as 129 .. so you got THAT out of the way .. 🙂

[@b.r.fowler785]

Wasn’t expecting the fart sound with the 6-7-10 at a regional. 😂

Forrest brother it is humbling it happens to all of us, we're human. Let go move forward do not look back.

"Forrest worried about cut* Me: oh he's in 20th he's still got breathing room. No prob for the big F.K. Minor set back, major comeback, next time he wins a major, watch.

[@coopergates9680]

Sweet 3-4-6-7-9-10 and 4-10 pickups. Big shoutout to 220 if he beat at least twelve people Xd

[@BobsWoodStuff]

Sorry about the finish. But it sounds like you know what to work on and you'll bounce back even stronger.

[@stephenseymour8422]

Damn brutal last game

[@Kristor333]

Every try adding just a tiny bit of loft? You lay the ball down so smooth and early and when it reads too early and keeps going through the nose sometimes it helps me get the ball a tiny bit further right and gives it time to come back. Sometimes a ball change and just moving left isn’t enough.

[@ForrestKritzer]

Yes I do add loft sometimes when necessary

[@saltwaterborracho1632]

Hey Forrest, pretty funny some of these comments telling you what you should of done.....but anyway, I had a 1st of my own, bowled a 495 series, the lowest to date!!! I know your 129 was a fluke and that badass approach/release you display will propel you to the top soon. Keep up the good work my friend.

[@eatngobstoppers215]

That's tough to deal with. Hopefully you can learn from the experience and move past it to make the next cut. Thanks for keeping us involved in your journey! Good luck to you and 220 in future contests!

[@edwardnajera2055]

That's bowling for yah

[@jjglick5777]

You should do a 1v1 competition with 220 avg. using the plastic dinosaur things the kids use.

[@isaiahhardin6779]

Love watching you and 220 yall are so funny together. Question. Whats your ball speed average?

[@ForrestKritzer]

Glad you are enjoying the videos. I fluctuate my ball speed based on the pattern that I’m bowling on. Typically between 15-18mph

[@bobbystone331]

Great games early but lanes really broke down in last 2 game's😮😢. 5 ball changes & still no luck😢. Great video, I didn't know some of your opponent's.maybe a post who you're bowling against 😊🎉🎉😊.

[@Bubsdaddy]

Last two pair were tough which can be brutal especially when you need the last two games. Looks like your spare game has really come along which is positive! Hit the reset button and go get em in the next one :)

[@omegateamsports5291]

It’s tough, but you’ll get an opportunity for redemption! One of the great things about competition. Learn from this and prepare.

[@TraumaER]

You will win very soon!

[@larrylawson2912]

Dude, I don't know what frame it was in, but that seven pin you left- nitroglycerin couldn't have blown that 1-3 pocket up more than what you did with that ball. I believe there was a ball boy hidden in the back who had a nailgun, secretly nailing your pins to the deck. You had some other suspicious leaves that game. I call foul. Uh, oh. I've created another conspiracy theory, havent't I, man? The demon that harrassed and haunted me all the years I bowled was the ten pin. I've noticed Brittany leaves her fair share of 10 pins, too. I had the one opportunity for my only 800 series robbed from me by that damn pin. You wouldn't think that a 796 series would piss me off, but that one, even after 40 years, still stings.

[@darylgould8923]

Such a smooth style. Won't be long before you cut everywhere mate. Grind away .. from Australia.

[@johnsmith-cf5wd]

Oh gosh😅I was there.. should've moved right to avoid the splits and slow it down. If I knew you were bowling this center I'd offer to help cause I know each lane from 1-30 from past league

[@zeroapostle4ever9]

Hey Forrest, curious, how do you get your spare ball straight? Especially when going from the right side of the lane to the left side of the lane?

[@ForrestKritzer]

You can either increase your speed or rotate your wrist less at release

[@zeroapostle4ever9]

@@ForrestKritzer Good to know, I have to try that out with my Storm Mix. Funny enough, we both upload videos of ourselves bowling.

[@zeroapostle4ever9]

@@ForrestKritzer I do want to ask, in KZbin shorts from when I went bowling last night, is there anything I should work on?

[@SirJoelsuf1]

Like Forrest says, less rotation. To put it in perspective, I get about 180 RPM on my first shot. My spare ball is half of that.

really looked like the oil pattern was used alot on last 2 games 1 board left was early hook cause of some dry spots and 1 board right was less hook more oil rolled out further. i am no expert but its what it looked like to me. still a good try nice vid keep them coming :D

Might be a question for Mike more than Forrest, but does PBA allow plugged up bowling balls during regional tournaments. I'm switching to two handed next year so all my stuff will be plugged. Oh and anyone can answer not just Mike or Forrest.

[@ForrestKritzer]

Yes you can use plugged balls at regionals

[@l.lboogie7049]

Like the content. Do you re-watch your ball, lay down(boards), and work on different ways to pocket shot. Weaker drilling ball

[@ForrestKritzer]

Yes I analyze everything and constantly try and improve

[@lukenycz7967]

something about this makes the lanes look so short and ball so small

[@wayneguess7946]

Do you think you may have started throwing the ball harder?

[@squidly2112]

Sheeesh .. stop it !!! .. you are going to steal my nick name "Mr. 10 Pin" ... I HATE THE 10 PIN !!! ... I have been leaving so many 10 pins lately, it is ridiculous. I keep trying to make adjustment but man, either leave 10's, 7's or splits. The other night I think I had five 7-10's in the course of just 2 games. Incredible. Apparently I am in the running for a free t-sheet at my lanes because of it. Apparently they have created a category that if you get 5 or more 7-10's in an evening, you can get a free t-shirt, not sure what it says yet, but I need to go pick it up.

[@nw101971]

The tall guy in the video had to have been well over 6’5. I know you’re bitterly disappointed at how you bowled but as hard as it is take positives out of it, I can think of two for a start 1. you nailed the 4-10 a very difficult split to convert & 2. You didn’t give up so well done you. I’m an ex league bowler I bowled some absolute stinkers when I bowled. So go home, put this experience to bed & forget about it because we who watch your channel know what you’re capable of. So from me in the UK, keep the faith, dust yourself down & we go again in the next one. #TeamForrest

[@jameslong9564]

Instead of banning urethane, ban two handers.

[@therealhonestraider7921]

If you pushed the ball it wouldnt come back... if you went inside... it wouldn't hold... Moving right and opening your wrist angle a bit... and trying to push the ball up lane doesn't work... and physically you start to lose the zip you had from games 1-4... I think you got in your own head those last 2 games... your shot was great until the burn occurred. Once that happens your natural feeling is to go left more... but in fact you should ball change and move right... and open the wrist angle up and play up and in. You stayed with the left too long... and ran out of oil to hold anything on the correct trajectory.
