“You can’t shoot 300 with a spare.” -Michael Tang This type of wisdom shouldn’t be free lol

[@williamrandall3786]

And no one in history has shot a 300 at a pace of even 1 in every 250 games over a 2 year period

[@stephenwalker6980]

@@williamrandall3786 Fero Williams has 135 sanctioned 300 games and is only 31 years old, if your statement is accurate, that would add up to around 35,000 competitive games.

[@robertsweno7920]

As a High School bowling coach I can definitely attest to the importance of spares. We have won and lost several matches and tournaments by a handful of pins. Stringing strikes is important but relies on a lot of variables (pin carry, transition, etc). We have more control over our spare game. Also, if you think of it from a mental standpoint, being a poor spare shooter will effect your strike game. Instead of focusing on the shot, you’ll be thinking to yourself “please don’t leave a 10 pin”.

[@atbsigma]

This is very true. Ultimately none of those pros got to where they were without a solid spare game. But then they learned how to navigate the conditions out there and started striking. Without certain types of balls to control the pocket, those spare games may come into play a little bit more this WSOB!!!

[@stompingpeak2043]

The biggest thing is leaving spares that can be picked up. If you constantly strike and leave massive splits it will kill you

[@BoydsBowling]

Best thing ive read in a while

[@petersmith9621]

You got successfully trolled by Keven sir

[@GoldbergPxP]

I haven’t laughed so hard at a video before. Good stuff! Also spares are important.

[@MrMalditor]

I don't know, I've seen quite a few people lose in the stepladder on tv due to missing spares. Seems to me spares are pretty darn important. Leads sure do shrink fast when you leave an open frame up on the board.

[@jeffphillips1354]

My daughter bowls in Kev’s summer league and every week he is all over her if she misses a spare. This shit had me rolling but I can attest Keven is ALWAYS preaching spares. Always. 😂

[@TheHouseBowling]

We needed this comment!

[@DoubleDoglegGolf]

Bowled in my first tournament in 15 years at the San Diego USBC Masters yesterday and shot 1273 over 6 games. I was on a strikefest early, but oddly missed 4 single pin spares through my first 12 frames, then proceeded to stike 7 in a row. My spare game was relatively clean the rest of the way, but I missed the Top 8 Round Robin by 27 pins in a very talented field. I also had my personal tournament high game of 270. To Kevin's point, making more strikes is one way to avoid missing spares, but to your point making those spares and filling frames when you don't strike is key to win! As my old bowling coach in high school said "Make your spares!"

[@DavidBeals05]

I would agree with Keven, spares don't become as important when you can consistently throw an 8 in a row. But, if you can't throw a large number of strikes in a row, then spares are at a premium because you need all the pins that you can get.

[@bobbyburtonphotography]

Exactly. I don’t care who you are, throwing eight in a row is not easy.

[@Dima-ASMR]

The thing that's the most important factor is that leaving an open frame makes you lose tons of scoring potential. Sure striking each time will rack up points but I've won league games with less strikes than my opponents purely because they had more opens than I. Close your frames for gains!!

[@elischmidt4431]

“Let’s just get on with the bowling” lol

[@lfc_jw8504]

Just saying: I missed two single pins - 2 and 7 - during qualifying in a sweeper and missed the cut by 4. I know my answer to the debate 🤣

[@Kevin-bt4wb]

If you would have thrown 1 more strike you would have qualified? 😛 You'll Never Walk Alone!

[@roscoepretlowiv7959]

I have made all of my spares at a regional and averaged 220 while doing it and have not made the top 8 lol. "Spares keep you in it, but strikes help you win it." RP4.

[@jessnicholascenterfireecon8382]

Usually these videos have one or two really funny moments to single out in the comments, but the last 4-5 minutes of this thing had me rolling. I can't pick the funniest part. O'Neill's comment about titles and doubles tournaments maybe the best of them all. A.J. trying to do math. Osku's dad-wave at the camera while they were practicing. Simo's reaction to the spare question, Mikey with the 300 comment. This was pitch-perfect, all of it.

[@treads2595]

Keven shot a 144 his first game so doesn't sound like he was making his spares or striking. Packy crushed it with a 275.

[@dfo132]

Bill O’Neill’s deductive logic was hilarious 😆

[@ChrisStephensiom]

Keven. lmao. At least you understood in the end, that's all that matters

[@OldBowlingGuy]

I am old school, i was in AJBC as a youth in late 1970`s -early 80`s. Lesson that was taught to the youth then. Strikes are for show, spares are for dough

[@TheGr8Cambino]

All I got from this was, if you’re a pro, you better know how to strike. If you’re not a pro, spares are super important

[@scottwhitmer2034]

Kyle Troup says "strikes for show spares for dough"!

[@edgehead62888]

This may be my favorite episode of The House Bowling. Just seemed like everyone had a bunch of fun.

[@ErlendBuflod]

Mr Williams looks like a young Rand Paul :D

[@BigSkyBowler]

Ah the classic debate. I think it's worded better if you say: Anyone can strike, but not everyone can pick up spares. That is what I tell all of my youth bowlers. The quickest way to raise your score is to make your spares. I definitely understand what you were trying to say though. If your going to try competing on the PBA, you had better know how to strike.

[@tackywacky99]

I also say, anyone can hook the ball, but not many can throw it straight.

[@darreneverywhere]

Keven weird question but I don’t care, what kind of pants are you wearing on the lanes? I want a pair, they look comfortable.

[@mikerubino5585]

I usually don't comment on videos on KZbin but I have to say this is one of the best videos I've ever watched involving the bowlers. All we ever get to see on TV is the serious high pressure nerve and ego fracturing side of bowling these tournaments bring and to see these awesome personalities come out on camera is just content gold. Videos like these will keep bringing youth bowlers into the sport and show how fun bowling can truly be, even on tour. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

[@FearTheWeird300]

I think of it as find a way to Knock as many pins down as possible on every throw.

[@jasonsmith3537]

I will say this..... if you can hook those spares that's accuracy training!! As a lefty, anything I might leave to the right of the headpin in practice I always hook to it and try to hit it (or one of them) head on. Lot of times I try to go through the oil and bring it back...It really helps me with adjusting my ball speed and hitting what I want. It HAS helped me in the long run when I am trying to dial in... If anything....it is a great accuracy power up for people learning to bowl...

[@jacksonwagner2287]

Spares at a younger level is more important than throwing strikes, but at the professional level everybody can spare where the hardest part is throwing the 5-6 bagger. He isn’t right but hes not wrong 🤣. Make your spares!!

[@kylesparrow9996]

I mean this in the best way, Keven kinda reminds me of Cheddar Bomb from 8 Mile. 🤣

[@BullittAutomotive]

“Anybody can get strikes, not many can get spares”. Is what a coach told me when i was a kid. Ive been able to maintain an average of 200 when i was a kid because i got almost all spares and a few strikes. I get more strikes now but if i wasnt good at spares id have really low scores.

[@joshbrown5106]

“If you’re not striking, you’re not winning” - Lucas P

[@StruckByLightn]

Best Video all season from you guys! Good Luck Boys!!!!!!!!

[@pdxbk]

The roasting has begun. 😂

[@georgeking2933]

Quick question, would my black hammer urathane ball be illegal for a regional event or just national events?

[@TheHouseBowling]

National events only but that does not include the usbc events like master and us open

[@brianm.5822]

This channel keeps getting better. Bowling is making a comeback because of content like this!

[@j23p24]

Lets go house boyzzz!!! have a good week !!! would love to see an all house boyz TV show!!!!💯💯💯

[@jmfoty4280]

The more strikes you throw, the fewer spares you have to shoot. The more spares you miss, the more doubles you need to make up for those misses just to break even. Make the spares so stringing strikes don't go to waste.

[@GhostofKaiser]

8 baggers are almost as important as making your spares.

[@Tony-Jabroni]

Is this at the bowlero in Milwaukee/ Wauwatosa Wisconsin? Sure looks like it. Not my home center, but is in the rotation of my local centers.

[@TheHouseBowling]

Yes it isn’t World Series of bowling will be there all of the next two weeks!

[@sspwang8013]

To me, whatever it takes to gain an edge. Go for the strikes, make the spares. Strikes or spares. Just do not leave an open frame.

[@krazyk57]

3:52 …Feel his pain on that one…😎

[@martinjasper7650]

The new KW hit " This is my rap, on why spare shooting is crap " ...

[@bowlnow824]

I didn't think 2 hander could stop in the middle of their approach. Lol

[@winsleypelayo4022]

both sides have a say in it. simo is an example of being able to throw an 8 bagger, which will already create a high score and the spares arent AS important as if the spares are spread all around the game (thats when you need to cover the spares). but of course in general spares are important. if you have the front 8 and cover spares in the end, thatll give you a much higher score than if you missed the spares. and like mikey said, as funny as it sounds, “you cant shoot 300 with spares”. hes not wrong about that hahahaha. great video!

[@josephbazarnik7878]

That shit was so funny and never laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣. Love the video

[@SKRUBL0RD]

what the heck is PTQ? can't find definition anywhere on pba site

[@tim7of717]

Gazmine Mason is Gazmine Mason's KZbin channel.

[@dustyhill5967]

Such language Mr Keven! Haha! Great bowling!!!

[@aw-stk]

Picking up 10 pins and 7 pins are most important.😁😆

[@joshuaslosser6988]

Man I’m a 2 hander but I shoot at a lot of spares haha

[@baldwinbonney]

Great to see Kev bowl, and to try to support his position - great jaw dropping video.

[@TheOtherCaleb]

The last half was hilarious. 😂

[@knucklesamitch]

Youth focusing on their spares will increase accuracy and therefore lead to more strikes.

[@bowlnow824]

Good bowling Kevin! Good luck to the house. Brad and Kyle, and Darren

[@smtbigelow]

I think im gonna go with the guy that actually wins on tour, Anthony Simonsen" make your fucking spares"

[@jayevday23]

The funny part is not him commenting the 220 average. But the fact that lefties have barely any movement throughout the tournament. AND STILL STRUGGLE!

[@rh88841]

I thought the title was going to be about urethane 😅

[@PasSpareTime]

Luv ya Kev, but what % of your games do you throw an 8 bagger? What % of your games to you shoot at at least 4 spares?

[@steve4880]

Mikey Tang on the spare debate was great....Can't shoot a 300 with a spare. XD

[@pokerstiff]

I wonder how many potential students Keven lost after this vlog. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@fatgay94]

Haven’t laughed this hard at a video in a while. This was great content.

[@bschroer98]

Key Takeaway from the video: Spares are important, 8 baggers are more important!

[@CheezyTime]

I'm pretty sure the most heated topic on tour is about urethane and how all the purple hammer users actually have to bowl now

[@34pimpdog]

Be mad you didnt pick up a urethane ball.

[@michaeldietzen8613]

Hey Keven! Ask Mika how important spares are. Debate over!!!

[@gpmaster3328]

I mean, if you only throw strikes you don’t need to worry on spares

[@bryqi2229]

Cant throw strikes if you’ve never had the practice of shooting spares. Builds accuracy to hit strikes.

[@luketenley]

As D Tang always says, make your spares, kids!

[@alecstevens96]

Best video y’all have done yet

[@JamieBakerM]

This is an incredible debate, one that is happening in most pro sports right now. MLB: a single isn’t that important since you reduce your chance to score, so more hitters are lofting the ball for max performance. NBA: shooting a 2 pointer is outdated and you’re losing a possible point by not shooting a 3. NFL: aggressive air attacks give a higher probability to score 7 instead of 3. Coaches have even opted to pass more often on 4th down instead of punting in fear of losing those 7 points. Would make sense

[@BowlChad]

Keven is a spare, Packy is a strike...BOOM roasted!

[@BrownWolverine]

Imagine if Prather would have made his spares in the T of C final...

[@GIVEMESN1PE]

Women want guys that throw 8 baggers. 'Hes a good spare shooter' is the equivalent of your girl saying 'I think its the perfect size'

[@ameenarehman9876]

As a bowling coach spares are the most important!

[@georgeking2933]

As a junior I can’t remember the times I missed a JBT cut because my spare shooting was bad. I think I even lost a couple of match play matches in scratch against you packey the few times I made cut due to how bad my ten pin spares were back then (and even now)

[@georgeking2933]

Strikes are nice, spares wins games and saves games

[@prototypejack671]

And I thought it was about how old urethanes can’t be thrown anymore lol. I was thrown for a loop

[@markwidell3031]

Spares are all I got!!! Over under all the time because the shot is catered to the high rev, 16mph+ players!!!!

[@jerseyedwin]

8:19 .....I FEEL YOU BRO LMAO

[@griffinairgunammo7518]

lol all these house guys think 8:30 am is early. I haven't slept past 6am in 10 years

[@JKGYHTM]

This video is GOLD

[@Stealth170rl]

Strikes for the show spares for the dough.

[@TampaCardGuy]

Lmao dude this is totally my type of video. The banter and everything is so perfect and it really helps me connect with all the Pba bowlers. Super cool video guys.

[@russellgilbert3453]

Yo, man, spares are important, but 8 baggers is SEXY!😂

[@johnrotarjr2412]

What's the Surface of that Purple Hammer you used

[@TheHouseBowling]

1000

[@bzerk1]

I loved this video. 😆We all know spares are important but man keven s reaction and response is priceless.

[@starfox5837]

Spares are so important rather have a spare then an open frame. You can shoot a 200 plus game shooting 7 spares or higher with 2 strike not back to back yet u can do it. SPARES ARE IMPORTANT

[@buttamakesitbetta1665]

It's funny to hear him say spares are not that important considering he left so many 7 pins. Thank you for the awsome video boys. Keep up the great vids.

[@SpudMcKeegan]

Good Ol' Keven Willimisseveryspare

[@peterdiaz8658]

Kevens energy is unmatched :D

[@thelmamarcis3376]

I’m glad Packy finally took his mask off👍

[@thebigeasy8609]

Keven is a riot!!!

[@Cdcd4393]

Last week should of had 230 but missed 2 ten pens and my team lost the game because all of us missed at least one spare. Idk what's going on last year I was on lock for making my spares this year idk what is happening lol.

[@matttraynham4663]

Are spares more important than thumbs? Can’t wait to hear that one lol.

[@spiderico00]

If I had to choose between 8 spares and 8 strikes, I'll take the strikes.

[@chrisg6691]

The real question is "what's better an open frame or a closed one?"

[@travishanson166]

I will usually miss a cut or cash by 14 pins or less. usually with at least 1 8 bagger, lol I think it's more important to avoid splits than to aim for more than 5 in a row. as Osku says, if you leave it, you better be able to pick it up. I mean how many titles has Norm won because someone else missed the 10 pin?

[@72kbobert]

Strikes win games, spares win tournaments.

[@atbsigma]

Hate to say it but Kevin is saying what I think most league bowlers and concourse coaches believe. Even though you’ll hear that Strike for show Spares for dough stuff, these pros make you strike to be in the conversation. And most of us league bowlers don’t feel good if we aren’t striking

[@bryqi2229]

Yeah you need strikes for points but where are those strikes coming from if you can’t be expected to make a spare? you need to be as accurate if not more accurate to hit a single pin than to hit the pocket for a strike. Strikes put you in the race, spares solidify it.

[@ozneroll2132]

Keep up the great videos..... guys.

[@benproctor1369]

40k let’s go

[@806hurricane]

Hey Kevin when you come to lubbock I want to get a couple of lesson from you. I will pay for them. Let me know if we can set it up?

[@ChimpyyPlays]

Damn packy I got a free bowling ball! 🤣🤣

[@talleyofcalinightlifeandda1182]

Hey Packy I am a fairly new subscriber and I'm a right handed one handed bowler I have some pain in my wrist been thinking about making the switch to two handed to help with that could you do a simple tutorial on how to actually throw it two handed approach and all

[@ifyoudidntknownowyoudo6326]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Congrats. Make the spares. If you leave it. Pick it up.
