Watching him bowl right now vs. Packy Hanrahan in the WSOB championships!

[@tylerdurden6901]

Genius idea with the pin re set very cool

[@slimshady6359]

I like it outdoors. You not only got to calculate Lane conditions you got to calculate the weather the wind hits it raining out.

[@FSP253]

This is awesome good job dad and son

[@FormerPBABowlerJoeJenkinsII]

Glad to see you have success. Keep it up!🎳

[@dabreadman6567]

Random neighbor in absolute silence: Do I hear a bowling alley? Mann I wanna go! Good vid!

[@dlopezdlo11]

This is f'n amazing!!

[@armondtodd6969]

This is really something! Amazing job!!!!!!

[@normandunnaganjr.5034]

Very cool. Bowling, like golf, is great fun exercise. That kid’s a damn good bowler! Upvoted, real cool you got an elder like that. I can’t wait to have kids. Another cool thing about that is if you know a quarantine neighbor chick, you can be like, wanna come bowling at the house? Crank up the tunes a little . Yeah!

[@sgtpepper1138]

I was going to comment how cool his dad is.

[@WhatsOnMyMind908]

This is such a dad comment

[@lj-jx9qy]

Holy shizzz I got enough space for this. Thanks for showing ❤

[@letsbuildandplay1499]

Amazing Job!!! 👏

[@bigbong143]

That father is an all-star.

[@fracturedbynature5408]

I love this.

[@Justin_Brezzy2k]

I want a bowling alley in my backyard 😔

[@khaleefhaqeem1066]

Me too😢

[@alfredpaul1236]

Me three

[@sgtpepper1138]

I'm going to try and build one, I have access to a good supply of pallets, some that are regular square pallets, and others that have nice 8ft 2x4s. Just figuring out the deck, since plywood is so ungodly expensive these days.

[@bruceaskew2107]

I swear

[@TreeGenie]

Very nice ideas!! Try and put about 3 inches of slingshot tube where the string attaches to the pins and you can get them to all seat and stop swinging on the resets

[@SingleLifeDad]

How cool! We can still bowl in FL.

[@snipewa4]

This is awesome

[@djdonsford]

That's Incredible. You Should Patent That Idea.

Heath Jones isn’t only a good saxophone player, he’s an engineer

[@blakemullins8758]

Nice!

[@Jorbley]

Super cool 😎 👏🏻 👍🏻

[@lgpugh35]

That is the coolest shit 😎

[@renatopico7282]

Cool!

[@EBEEZYCL]

This was so dope. I will definitely be building one. How long is it.

[@brianwallace9798]

That’s so cool. I’ll trade the broken down basketball court in my backyard for that

[@alexkizer639]

Awesome

[@leo5208]

Have you applied for USBC sanctioning?

[@shauncobbs6155]

Was it hard to figure out the pulley system

[@Lklee08]

Man I want one…

[@trentonichimurajr9172]

I saw you bowl on tv on the pba junior

[@repentandfollowjesuschrist6170]

How cool, man I used to bowl like 2-5x weekly, man it just gets soo expensive

[@sharkboyryan195]

My house has free bowling for high schoolers, unlimited bowling very nice to get practice in without having to pay

[@axsuriaa]

@@sharkboyryan195 damn thats nice!! i would go there everyday 😔😔

[@iBRiDGE380]

Badass

[@mariconalcala9926]

Wow

[@Ashtoniscool]

WAIT YOUR WERE AT THE PBA BOWLING TOURNAMENT IN KOKOMO

[@Kdaileyy]

How much to make this ❤

[@Abaybayac]

if i were to do this at my place.. i would set the strings at the bottom of the pin and drill out a pin holder

[@partyguy101ify]

That would certainly require less room for the strings by putting them underneath the lane instead of to the side and over the pins.

[@jasonranger5371]

Will the backyard lanes damage your bowling balls?

[@elidavila2258]

If not oiled properly yes! Polyurethane used in video not too bad on balls but you see they’re using older balls for a reason

[@outtrigger]

no

[@sharkboyryan195]

10 perfect games? It’s literally impossible that he’s not going to be a PBA bowler eventually. Many of the top bowlers didn’t have that much at that age.

[@repentandfollowjesuschrist6170]

One thing having perfect games on a lane you made, that's not the same size as a real lane, plus different oil patterns will change things.

[@sharkboyryan195]

@@repentandfollowjesuschrist6170 he got 10 on regular lanes. Which means he’s consistent

[@slimshady6359]

@@sharkboyryan195 where did it say he got it on a sanction Lanes

[@IAmTheEggMan111]

3/22/2023: Turns out he's been bowling the PBA national tour this year and doing quite well

[@alexlahn9491]

Hi

[@willroslin872]

too bad 10 pins are like 50 plus 100 shippig on ebay right now :(

[@sgtpepper1138]

Check your local bowling alley.

[@partyguy101ify]

If you bowl often, that's still not a bad tradeoff.

[@icebergism]

My neighbor would breathe his last breath if he thought he could put something like this up next to my house.

[@newax_productions2069]

Sounds like your an ass of a neighbor

[@user-db3dj4ju9x]

우리나라였음 옆집하고 대판 싸운다 ㅋㅋㅋ

[@gabebowling4607]

I thought your user name said the Oklahoma😂

[@customagent74]

Yeah... but you don't see him shooting a spare. You should have had gutters down to the end of the lane and I would like to see you shoot a spare. Plus, the pins kick off the sides and hit without the gutters stopping them and don't give you a true game experience. It would be better to have gutters and just have one person stay down there and sweep and reset the pins like the old days. Thats how I built my home lane.

[@explosivetide6583]

customagent74 hi, i am looking into making a bowling lane in my backyard. I definitely have the space for it but don’t know the dimensions and materials used. If you wouldn’t mind, can you tell me what materials you used and what the dimensions are. My discord is Caden#0896 if that’s easier. Thanks

[@riprack1958]

Yea well, it worked for him. He just became the youngest PBA regional tournament winner this weekend.

[@J2theK]

This is how you say, "I'm jealous" without saying, "I'm jealous". Do you really think he's not working on his game at real bowling alleys? And how many people do you know with a backyard bowling lane? It doesn't need to be perfect, just functional.

[@youknoweverything7643]

This home made lane is not even close tl even a reg lane that has a standard oil pattern fir average joe bowling practicing on this us gonna mess ul your game if your a decent bowler
