I Made It To Match Play At The USBC Masters 2023

[@Haznoli]

When Darren does his 20th ball change there’s no stopping him!

[@glenonbutler391]

Simonsen looks unstoppable in the finals.

[@G4zzzzz]

Thank you for sharing these even when nothing goes right type of days. Great appreciation for your taking responsibility for the the outcome and your effort right through to the end. You are a great example for anyone engaged in competition.

[@cracacroesgazyy]

You got this Darren I believe in you :) I hope you can get to the root of what's affecting your play this much

[@shaunbell549]

It’s crazy how it looks so clean off the hand but then it ends in disaster sometimes

[@jfabritz]

A little fast, a little slow, a little left, and a little right - if the lane isn't forgiving, those slight errors will drive you nuts. I thought he found the line with the Idol, then you start leaving 10's. Shift your feet to adjust the entry angle, the pattern doesn't let you. Change balls? Now you need to re-sync and find the line, but by that point, your opponent pulls ahead. On days when you don't match up, you feel it and suffer through it.

[@christopherinman3241]

Making the cut is still motivating.... Nice job..

[@Cdcd4393]

Everyone is cheering for ya. You got this

[@brianparsa7794]

Making it to match play at the Masters is a terrific performance -- you probably don't feel great about it, but congratulations, Darren.

[@donthompson9862]

Read through Your Journal Darren.You Got this Bud.

[@zgrizzly56]

go d'tang, it will improve as the season goes on. dont stop working.

[@josephelden4573]

I was a lane monitor on the low end. What amazed me was how Pat Dombrowski Mike Martell had a look that seemed spot on from their first shot on.

[@robertstorms5539]

Appreciate the honesty that you are not happy with yourself and executing. Been there, very frustrating at the level you are at.

[@scottythompson940]

Cool tech bowling Darren tang bowlling tournament

[@KdotTran]

You got this DTang! Some bbq to go with that Tang bbq Sauce is what you need before bowling the next one ❤👍

Not sure what Storm was thinking releasing the DNA with the basically same color shade and scheme as the P2.

Darren I said hi to you in the entryway when they were scanning tickets yesterday!

[@Drvudoo]

You made it to match play. Definitely rooting for you to be in the money each tournament.

I was shocked to read 515 first round

[@HawaiianPop]

The release always seems soo smooth with just a bad outcome tough going brotha. Mental battles always suck to battle against

[@NkoStoneman]

Go Darren, next time bro, you have the credentials, hope for the future mate , be safe

[@gmoney9352]

Go dtang

[@CBeasters]

Damn man when you gonna be on TV!! 🤣😂

[@cashioking]

wow

[@malcolmandtillybrenner6384]

At least the third video that ended with Darren's saying, "I got too far left." So, you know what that means. You're hearing something that the lane's not telling you. Check your notes. Find the shots that tricked you into an improper move left. The ability to play such steep angles is an impressive tool that not everyone has, but over the months, you're telling us that you go to it too often.

[@enru8413]

what's the purple ball 6:42 please?

[@freeekychiiild4765]

Your time will come again! Decompress and know that me and all your fans are still rooting for You!!!😁

[@knukule]

Go DTang!!

[@zedikgaming2660]

Hi Darren

[@KingOfTheHighF]

You were killing with the Gem.....did you switch to a Phaze 2?

[@KingOfTheHighF]

or a reality check

[@thembones1895]

Probably wrong due to my amateur eye, but when you fell into that line and were consistently heavy, seemed like too much loft on the release? Maybe b/c you were getting frustrated, therefore giving it too much. I do that when I am annoyed, and losing that smooth placement I end up cutting too hard toward the end of the pattern.

[@twitchboy6694]

What dot do you stand on

[@kennethbryant7783]

[@jondrabrambor]

Hey im looking for a starter ball thats under 150$ but i dont know which ball is good. Im thinking about the roto grip hustle pink but i dont know if its good or not. Can you give me some tips please?

[@zedikgaming2660]

How are you

[@성문늘푸른빛]

브래이크샷은 공이 브래이크포인트에서 잠시 머뭇거리다 포켓으로 훅킹.

[@traceww]

I know very little comparatively about bowling...but it looks like the down and in shot is much more consistent. Too many 2-10's and open frames otherwise. I am happy to be schooled on how I am mistaken but just thought I'd throw that out there.

[@SteveJones-gl1wi]

You're a great 'tweener' in an era where tweeners have a really tough time being successful. Good luck next time - match play at the Master's is a great accomplishment despite the rough ending.

[@thomasfitch-zz9hc]

Go Darren ❤

[@tonynguyen9059]

Must be an Asian bug going around because my game was really off last week too. I bowled so bad a 10 year old beat my score with a ball roller. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong because my release and everything was good, didn't change a thing but the ball wasn't going where I wanted and I wasn't scoring well. I chopped it up to having a really bad week but in reality it was probably the oil. That's my story/excuse and i'm sticking to it haha.

[@michaelthanksheroes2975]

Don’t be too hard on yourself, many bowlers didn’t even make match play. A good meal and some sleep will go a long way.

[@49rsNFLsLadyboys]

Splits 😂😮😮😮😮

[@valentintr08]

Hello, Darren! I want to challenge you in 1 vs 1 match, I am Valentin Trifonov, the youngest prospective player in Bulgaria!

[@Calebdotwaleb]

I have a habit of inserting myself where I’m not needed or wanted but here are my thoughts after watching some of your videos (this response is for your last 2 videos). It’s also probably worth it to say that I’m not a bowler and I don’t know what I’m talking about, but this is going to sound very judgmental, as if I know what I’m doing. I do not. - you’re getting in your head too much. You seem to know this, but you’re not responding to it. You need to make sure you’re having fun, the same way you have fun when Lance is playing with you. Keep that energy. - stop focusing so much on the other players. When they play well, you seem to feel the need to one up them. You need to focus on one upping yourself. If there’s any way you can play without seeing the other players or caring what the people around you are doing, you should do that. You obviously have the skill to be where you want to be. You know that. I believe in you. We all do. You got this. Thank you for being my first bowing KZbinr, I appreciate you a lot.

yooo first - good job Darren!!!!!

Are pro bowlers not allowed to wear hats? Would be great spot for sponsors and I like hats.

[@drrick2466]

You did it to yourself on purpose!

[@slickwillie7159]

I didnt get the reason for the ball change in the first game.

[@Sandstorm14456]

Can I play you please??

[@enru8413]

changing ball too often strange

[@cheezexcp]

Are you hurt Darren? Your swing at apex is lower than before and you're twisting the ball more before you get to the apex.

[@therealhonestraider7921]

I think your problem is the fact you are locked into only throwing STORM products. Get off that staff and you will see your game go to the next level. It worked for EJ... it will work for you.. Trust the Universe!

[@alshin7498]

Hilariously dumb comment

[@robfrantz8652]

You lost this one but I think he made it to the semi-finals the goal is to make match play good job

Good job Darren! Match play is still a huge accomplishment. Clawing closer to that title a day at a time man. Keep it up!

Great job D Tang! You'll find it.

[@joshdichoso3216]

Damn what an event, tough break on the pattern it was a hard one. Good job on getting to match play and hopefully when you get to Milwaukee I can watch you win the whole thing!

[@josenovelonegron3452]

Be quick to forget buddy. I just started out a couple months ago and I would beat myself up over a bad shot and it would ruin the rest of the game. Ride the positives and forget the negatives. On to the next one. We know you’ll succeed

[@EricBrookins-no8mh]

Let’s go DTang!!! Win it all!!

[@bowlnow824]

To even make top 64 at the masters is pretty dang good. I know you disappointed but you bowled good all week and you will get it figured out real soon

[@BowlingNDrums]

Bummer Mr. Tang. Keep your head up dude. I hope things get better. Always cheering for you and your bro.

Welcome to the Ups and Downs of a Professional Bowler

[@claytonjacobs8812]

lets go darren!

[@zeekus2222]

If Darren leaves blower 7s, wrap 10s, half 10s, stone 8s, ripped 9s he always walks back like he threw a strike, no emotion. When Darren underperforms then he gets heated hehe. Keep at it D your window is coming!!

[@davidstakston1950]

Watch the film and correct the problem on why you leave a split with a particular bowling ball. Every split reduces your score by 30+ pins.

[@chadhusted3251]

GO DTANG!! YOU GOT THIS!! 😊

[@haxanator1513]

Anyone have suggestions on a 3 ball roller bag that is decent? Need an upgrade and been out of the game for too long so not sure what is worth grabbing now.

[@hearnsleonard]

I notice he switching balls alot.. at what point do just make a change in your release vs changing balls

[@michaelbencomo1199]
