My PBA Regional in Las Vegas (2024)

Bowling

[@kirklamb3270]

Thank you for showing both the good and the bad shots of your effort!! Very few will do that!!

[@coreyshadow4958]

Great video. Keep your head up. Once you get the hang of the things you are working on. You will be back to hitting them high scores. I hope one day to Bowl with or next to you and Forrest

[@Ewigi]

The form is looking great man! Keep it up! You’ll be kicking ass in no time 💪

[@terryncedixon7729]

Thanks for showing us the real with the sport. It gives us new to the sport hope that it's not going to always be bad, and when it is bad, if we stay with it, good will come. Thanks brother.

[@DavidSmith-hg7nf]

Unbelievable progress with your game, keep up the hard work!

[@jcavender00]

Keep it up 220, you'll have success soon! And yes, PAP is super important for making your layouts effective so definitely get that measured :)

[@Samuel-xs2yv]

A lot of your shots looked like you slowed it down and guided the ball well. Been working on that myself. Can't wait for your next regional

[@garyloomis4961]

Hey, now I stayed and watched the video to the end, since I own two of your shirts,lol Good bowling man, it takes a lot of practice at these regionals, keep on keeping on bro. .

[@220vlogs]

Appreciate the support Gary 🥹 I’m gonna win a regional or I’m gonna die tryin

[@FranBushardt]

One of your Nearby Bowlers here George Szczublewski is A Local Bowler From the Buffalo NY area has been appearing on our Local Weekly Bowling TV Show BEAT THE CHAMP. The longest Weekly Bowling show in the Country dating back to the 1960s!

[@flippperboy]

I though I recognize that name. I always want to watch beat the champ because of Chuck Jagodzinski.

[@mikebandw186]

Dang, I was getting frustrated for you. I hate splits! I’m excited to see you start to dial in your equipment with all the work you’ve been doing with the physical game!

[@joshuaberrelez1026]

I’ve watched you for a while now and your physical game is a lot better than I’ve ever seen it. Just keep practicing. That’s all we can do!

[@peternguyen7205]

Form is consistent and hand position at the top looks way straighter

[@iandickey6220]

Great crossing with you

[@220vlogs]

Hope to see you at some more events Ian!

[@StevenSprunger]

That was a rough set for sure, but people improve more from failure than success. Keep at it and keep up the great videos.

[@flippperboy]

I agree. Your armswing looks much better. Get Aaron to find your pap and find transition balls that fit your game after the 3rd game of the block

[@davidlongstreet213]

The old saying you can't out bowl bad ball reaction and I completely agree with the need for more surface. It seems as if you now have over/under with it; but keep at it.

[@jamesb6505]

You always have a Great attitude. I wish I did.

[@ak252m]

You can with some effort! YOu got it!

[@saltwaterborracho1632]

Your sister had me cracking up, trying to duck out of camera view!!!

[@squidly2112]

Michael ... I am so absolutely ecstatic that you are bowling these tournaments .. no matter how well or how poorly, it's just extremely nice to see you out there. It's a tough place man, but you are doing it !!! .. that's just totally awesome! ... your bowling is looking really good, getting better and better all the time !! .. Happy Thanksgiving my friend !! .. Keep it up !!!

[@CamdenBraun1119]

Love your vids. Wish i could have gotten a 220 ball but I didn’t have enough saved up. Awesome job at the regional tho.

[@220vlogs]

There’s still 9 left.. idk how long they’ll last though lol. The important one is the Dragonball anyway.. I think we might be able to get it done

[@BigMikeBazil]

Can't wait for the dragon ball if it's doable​@@220vlogs

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

You can tell everyone you have one. After all it's invisible so how would they even know?

[@stevenreid-g2y]

Your sister is a doll! What a beautiful smile!

[@donovannsanders8187]

@@seanmurphy5088this is crazy

[@cbrdealer]

Long time no.. comment I guess LOL. I hope you're well. You're sister is gorgeous. Tell her I said what's up? :)

[@markeone]

May not be the results you want but, from an armchair perspective this is some of the most consistent I think I've seen you on the approach and your swing. Maybe one or two shots your backswing is getting up, other than that it's consistent, which is what bowling is. Great to see all the collaborations. Forrest clearly got his pap on point and yes you need to figure out and understand your paps and details. It makes a huge difference when you're at these levels. Great to see you sis supporting you too. She's never a day over 21! See you on the next one!

[@220vlogs]

Agreed. I definitely felt the best I’ve felt bowling a regional in a while. Also just had a mini lesson with Darren the day before this so his tips were in the back of my mind.

[@williamgaminggaming6061]

Great video great bowling you can’t controls the ball and the way it reads the lane but you say you should have bowled with at least something else with the urethane like start in the urathane then go to reactive I think if you went to reactive quicker you would have scored better

[@johnjohns4056]

Okay, a disappointing tournament for you, but the form and swing are looking a lot better. Now you just need more consistency with the release. Overall, you looked pretty solid out there. Keep working on it. You're so close. Proud of you and thank you for posting this video and all the other videos you let us see.

[@l.lboogie7049]

Look at your vlog. Your swing and target is different. N’joy watching

[@nordattack]

Your game and form are looking much better. You still have a tendency to go to the moon with your backswing but overall a great improvement. You should definitely let Daren hook you up.

[@nmorgan350z]

sister is cute :D

[@moet2397]

the urethane didnt seem to want to do much on that pattern.

[@ScottyThompson-lt7wl]

Cool video talk tech bowling tournament Michael

[@ripvanrevs]

8:36 STAND UP AND FIGHT!! Buy another urethane ball. Put surface on one and keep the other shiny.

[@jeffjohnson2731]

surface is everything in high volume patterns, even if shorter... I have done poorly in recent tournaments by not adding surface before starting and keeping my control balls at 2000... definitely need one or two at 1000 or less just to make better motions on fresh patterns... I did fine on transition, but horribly with over/under on fresh.

[@220vlogs]

Basically everyone else had 360 on their urethane balls here 😂

[@EasyBowlingStats]

The swing looks really good! One thing you might want to consider practicing is adding some speed and moving right, that's where most of the big scores came from with urethane. Like you said, adding surface helps too. I think you're at the point now where all you need to do is add a higher speed shot to your bag of tricks and next year you'll be making some cuts. The swing is light years better than it was though, pretty impressed with how good it looks now!

[@sealance]

Honestly, no. Lower the back swing a little bit so he doesn't pull it in front of his body instead.

[@koz4338]

Your spare shot has the same release as your strike shot. You have to break the wrist and point your thumb directly at the spare with only forward roll.

[@mariomicallef8266]

The point is you ALWAYS try. Might be to ask Darren to see if he can't help you out with your balls, bowling balls that is or whatever you guys get up to. Btw, your sister is amazingly beautiful.....show her more often.

[@paulyvii]

The rock core ball should've been the move

[@BruceUrton]

Dang, you had a tiny area to hit for carry.

[@psychosong303]

Have you tryed play 2 handed on tournament ? Good video buddy !

[@pumazpawz]

Why do you hook the ball so much on your spares?

[@randysanicolas1291]

Backswing got high again...lol

[@donovannsanders8187]

It’s not about his high backswing it’s about his hand position - he used to bend his wrist at the top and not snap and accelerate at the bottom

[@scotthoward6070]

Yeah, looks a lot better. I was thinking you needed a ball change in game 4 or 5. You said the urethane ball needed surface for a better reaction. So why not use a RR ball?

[@guesswho9742]

Maybe the Sponge Bob ball?

[@220vlogs]

Watermelon might’ve been the move

[@Really-cq2uw]

Was that a pitch black, or what balls were you using?

[@イケーGII]

日本から応援しています！ byイケーG（IKE-G）

[@EviLNox8]

How much did it cost to enter that tournament? I'm only 3 months into bowling and don't know what tournaments even cost to enter.

[@MrHoyearl]

i love you

[@220vlogs]

Let’s elope

[@ForrestKritzer]

You are throwing it so much better. Need some new layouts to match your new physical game/ball roll and you’ll be money

[@markeone]

It really looked controlled and measured. I don't get to bowl like I used to but watching you guys improve and interact over it all. I really do miss my UK competition bowling days. Keep it all rolling!

[@davidserna1345]

I agree with Forrest, you changed a lot in your swing and release I think getting your new PAP will make a big difference keep it going bro!

[@PasSpareTime]

Kudos for posting it, that was ugly. Was this before or after the Tang lesson? Rooting for you

[@therealhonestraider7921]

I THINK YOU WILL LOVE STRING PINS MORE THAN FREEFALL. THE VERSION 3 STRINGPINS THAT THE PBA USE ARE REALLY NICE. SOME OF YOUR HITS YOU GET THAT LEAVE YOU RANDOM PINS... ARE BECAUSE OF FREEFALL ISSUES. STRINGPINS WILL CARRY BETTER... AND REWARD ACCURACY MORE THAN REWARDING LUCK

[@raymah7]

You will get it next time, definitely have your sister on more 😂

[@dinmd636]

DAMMMMM UR REALLY SWINGING IT OUT!!!!

[@51187corey]

Your sister is pretty. What happened to you? 😂

[@ak252m]

They're both good looking you just have an untrained eye for guys most likely 😉

[@b.r.fowler785]

Already starting the video with a big fart leaving a 7-10 split, are we? 😂

[@StrikingSavvy]

Not sure how you can bowl the non-champs event when youre a champion in my heart

[@steve99912]

With the pap figured out you might of shot 150 game 5

[@220vlogs]

maybe!

[@matthewcampbell1766]

What s in it for me there if you want to join PBA Canada 🇨🇦 Matthew Campbell Red Nick

[@aceassn716]

Tough tourney for you.. But lesson learned your sister isnt even 40, Get your PAP adjusted, be sure to surface your bowling balls…. make sure your wearing your Nutter Butterz shirt under your jersey at least Makes all the difference for better bowling!!

[@LaneQuenemoen]

As longs as you stayed 2 boards out side the marker you struck but otherwise you were inconsistent. Keeping your shoulders back and staying more upright will keep you online. When you can't hit the same spot consistently don't blame it on 2 frames a game. A ball change down would've been something to try.

[@heethen112]

all us armchair quarterbacks have so many tips.. i thought your releases look inconsistent and sometimes you were far right and when it was left it had way less hook. I AM NOBODY do not listen to us cuz we aren’t there and can barely see the boards. i did like your higher backswing but its cuz it looked powerful. just an algorithm comment..

[@brianchristoffersen822]

There’s more pressing things before your pap even matters

[@glenkamida71]

Perhaps you have a similar issue like your friend Forrest lol you just made the same comment

[@strangedawg9516]

hello michael, i generally enjoy your content bro but ive had 1 observation and that is you are not doing very well in these pba regionals.

[@charleskelly8072]

you look like a bowler that misses left 1-3 boards every shot. I'm not a hater, I just want you to watch all your videos and critically analyze each 1st ball. you never carry. and I think you have an amazing set up, walk, form, and release. I think a coach would move 10 boards left initially and tilt more open and NEVER be a down and in bowler. LMK lol just at 12:38 as I was leaving you were set up perfectly and struck,.....I think you were being silly, but that is your line. DONT worry about PAP etc. if your body type isn't right on the lane dang and after also you were deep and it worked

[@victorbogen1558]

Who ever film for u the quality was kinda bad even if u put the video in 1080p

[@WilliamGuess-ns6th]

Way too many splits!

[@philallen8146]

You should go back to 2 handed. You have great form

[@GracieGarage]

I think you are closer than you think to bowling well on these PBA patterns. With that said, what you are doing is all wrong. It does not look right. Masters are masters of the basics. A nice form with steps timed with the pendulum arm swing; I think your form is too short. Should square shoulders or atleast not one that is so in front of the other one. But, its smart you are slowing down with that black hammer; Kevin gave you that advice. Go watch vidoes of Earl instructing. Sorry, I just had to comment. And, no I could not do better.

[@therealhonestraider7921]

I HATE HOW SOUTHPOINT MAKES YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE VIDEO THEY TAKE OF YOU... AND PREVENT ANYONE FROM RECORDING THEIR OWN GAMES... SOUTH POINT IS A REAL SCAM... HERE WE HAVE A CASINO... A LICENSE TO PRINT CASH... AND THEY SQUABBLE OVER SOME PETTEY CASH FOR VIDEOS FOR BOWLING... REALSCUMMY IF YOU ASK ME!

[@220vlogs]

That’s only for the usbc nationals

[@pukas7389]

Bruh

[@WutTheDeuceGaming]

Is there some fine print in the sign-ups that basically forfeit your own license for them to use? That seems wild af to me.

[@therealhonestraider7921]

​@@220vlogs So this was all your own footage? Interesting... They treated Nationals like some super secret event... Had never seen a place do that before. And the price they charge is hilarious.

[@emanuelorozco3443]

Firt

[@220vlogs]

Firt 🏆

[@supersentallupinurmouf]

They can't bowl these tournaments often its expensive and these guys are not good enough to throw money away. They listen to D.tang and even tang isn't good enough to make the shows. He switched styles to a less known style but is doing better uhhh how ???? don't take advice from a person who isn't a master of thier own craft or equipment.

[@IAmTheEggMan111]

Tang is an amazing player who already owns a PBA title. You don’t know anything

[@mrscoob3450]

First two frames looked like my Wednesday night at league. Didnt matter what ball or where i hit them.

[@Bassmaster1256]

Your back swing got higher and higher as you went on. Better luck on the next tournament. 220average=donator

[@Bassmaster1256]

I thought I was ready for PBA tournament play after averaging 200+ in 1978-79 and I got my ass handed to me.

[@Christopher-ic9ig]

@@Bassmaster1256Yeah, I won’t even consider PBA membership unless I’m averaging 233 in league. I’ve got a long ways to go.

[@220vlogs]

Thanks bassmaster 😁
