PRODIGY BOWLERS TOUR -- 09-30-2017 -- "The Great Potato Salad Hurl"

One of the most thrilling episodes yet of PRODIGY, as four kids from a neighboring bowling center descend upon Brunswick Zone Roswell, leaving only one of our players to defend the home turf.
Now, as for the name of this week's show: "The Great Potato Salad Hurl." I know you're wondering. The reason for the name is simple. The who reason why we skipped a week and didn't do a PRODIGY last week is because I was home sick barfing my brains out with food poisoning from...you guessed it...some bad potato salad I bought. Of course, I won't mention where I bought it. Or will I?
As always, your comments are welcome. But remember, the mission of PRODIGY BOWLERS TOUR is to Celebrate Junior Bowling while we Elevate Junior Bowlers. So please keep your comments in that spirit. Remarks that are intended to insult or demean youth bowlers are not welcome and will be removed.
As always, it's Coach Randy Brown behind the mic with the play-by-play call. Recorded Saturday, September 30, 2017 at Brunswick Zone Roswell in Roswell, Georgia.

That was a great new feature...."Legends of the Game"...thanks for that.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

+Steve LaForce - Glad you enjoyed.

[@jameskliewer5809]

Thanks for surfacing from your malady with this production, Randy. I enjoy Prodigy more than any pro bowling show.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

+James Kliewer - Thanks, James.

[@cameronprice586]

Great work on the side by side interesting dynamic!

[@popsp2574]

So glad I found this channel!

[@Jordan-dt3mf]

Can't wait to watch this keep up the good work randy

[@itsmatthewp5355]

Thank you for creating these awesome videos!

[@traxxasmonsterjam2716]

Can't wait to see this

[@jsjcd2]

I think Upton Funk is Tyrell's jam. LOL

[@michaeldietzen8613]

love what your doing. you got a lot of talent on your shows

[@josephbobbitt7759]

This was the best championship match I've seen on prodigy. Good to see Logan break his winless streak. I thought Dawson did well also. Can't wait for the next episode Randy.

[@murkymuts957]

Logan might be one of the biggest ‘what if’s’ I’ve ever seen. One of the best games I’ve ever seen at someone his age, shame he didn’t keep up with it. Regardless, I hope he’s doing well still

[@jameskliewer5809]

Tyrell is just plain fun to watch.

[@ThatGuyNamedBen]

Never clicked a video so fast... Keep it up Randy!

[@Steve.Orland]

awesome episode! look forward to them every week randy

[@austinpalen3308]

Love the vids man keep it up

[@dahur]

It was a surprise to not see Charlie. Thumbs up for "Legends of the Game"

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

+dahur - Charlie had “girlfriend” things to do and didn’t stay to bowl PRODIGY this time. And so it begins...

[@loveofcats1699]

BrownswickBowling 😂😂😂

[@niccoagujo4663]

BrownswickBowling Isn't it too early? Anyways our term "Aral muna"* goes in our country *meaning "Study first"

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

+TPG Unsafe - “Too early?” “Too early” for WHAT?

[@niccoagujo4663]

BrownswickBowling Welp, guess I ran out of words

[@sayless374]

Great steppladder.Really thought Tyrell was gonna win the whole thing,but good bowling to logan.m.dawson reminds me of Gary Faulkner jr with his form and showing no emotion bowling.Tyrell is going places has really good game,wouldn't be surprised if I see him on the PBA tour down the line

[@ChucklesH9936]

I am so glad that I came across this channel. I subscribed immediately and look forward to new videos every week. Thanks for the great channel of terrific youth bowlers. Glad that you're feeling better Randy. I won't buy ANY kind of salad from Publix.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

+M Hay - Words to live by.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

+M Hay If you’re new to the channel, you have some catching up to do. This week’s is the 34th episode, not counting the PRODIGY SHORTS we’ve done. I’m sensing some binge watching in your future. ;-)

[@ChucklesH9936]

BrownswickBowling I have been watching for several months. I've enjoyed it since day one. This was my first time commenting. You are doing a great job. Keep up the good work. I had surgery recently and cannot bowl for quite a while. This is helping me fill my bowling fix.

[@haydnmhunt1850]

I noticed that Logan got a another new ball (trident quest

[@ashtonross7939]

I love this channel. Wish I could be part of it but it’s a six hour drive.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Ashton Ross - And that prevents you from coming...how, exactly? Last year, we had a kid from Honolulu on the show.

[@ashtonross7939]

BrownswickBowling I already asked my mom. I’m still getting better. I just converted over into a two hander. Maybe I’ll be there soon.

[@ashtonross7939]

BrownswickBowling and by six I meant 16

[@ashtonross7939]

I’m from Texas. And I don’t know how this channel only has 10k subs. It should have a million. I will go Make 900k accounts and sub.

[@robintompkins8745]

Great production Randy the show is getting better as every week passes loved the legends section and what a week for the bowlers not a poor game between them all some outstanding bowling from the runner up and a great to see a return to the trophy pin for our winner

[@jeffreyscalicejr.1942]

U should do what the PBA does and show the ball they use for every bowler

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Jeffrey Scalice Jr. - I mention what they’re throwing sometimes. As a coach, I’m more about how they’re throwing it than what they’re throwing.

[@robertbozulic1677]

been watching for a while had to sub... Logan is going to win Junior Gold great bowler

[@allstarr9tc]

Vastly underestimating how good the kids who win junior gold actually are lol

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

+allstarr9tc - No one’s under-estimating them. I know how good they are.

[@thethug89]

You've killed it R&B. Nice job!

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Marqus Brown - Few here know that’s one of my nicknames.

[@rezi5961]

Tyrell is like really good......really really good.

[@mr.niceguy2942]

Im so happy that Logan finally won again.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

I think he was pretty happy, too.

[@irishpogi]

Tyrell serves Jacob some "Fruit Salad!" A Schlegelism

[@jordanhenry7530]

Wow

[@rippleyplayz3272]

Would be really Honored if my state was your prodigy bowling show be really excited to bowling with u guys

[@johncrofts9939]

Randy, as always, you did a great job on the commentary, but it occurred to me during the broadcast that it might be interesting to add some bio information, especially about the bowlers we haven't seen before, or don't see too often, such as how long they've been bowling, league average, high sanctioned single/triple, that sort of thing.

[@gradjohnson1636]

john crofts that's a great idea

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

I agree that it's a great idea. Honestly, there are a lot of enhancements that could be added. Like listing the bowling balls in each player's arsenal (I wish I had a dollar for every time someone has suggested that). While I'm not a big fan of the arsenal idea (I'm a coach, so I'm more interested in HOW they're throwing it than WHAT they're throwing), THIS is an excellent suggestion. We have, occasionally, had more information to work with on these kids. It's a fine line. I don't want to reveal too much about them -- they are, after all, still kids. But things like average, high game, high series, other accomplishments on the lanes, certainly seem like fair game. There are, of course, certain logistical issues involved. For starters, I don't have a form designed to collect this information. Handing out blank sheets of paper and asking everyone to write down pertinent facts about themselves might turn into an ordeal. But I will noodle on this and see if there isn't a way to move in this direction in the near future. I actually thought about doing a series of PRODIGY SHORTS that were, essentially, a "get to know them" feature on our regulars. Sort of an "Up Close and Impersonal" feature, if you will. But like with all things related to video production, it's a lot of work, and I already do a lot of work just getting these shows out as they are. I'm not looking to make too much more work for myself, if you know what I mean. I still actually have a day job during the week.

[@johncrofts9939]

I agree wholeheartedly that you have to protect the kids, which is why I only suggested "neutral" information like their stats. I also recognize that putting on this broadcast is a lot of work for you. Would it be workable to get some of the kids to help you gather the stats info? Perhaps a couple of the U20's? Or perhaps one of the other coaches? Either way, I continue to enjoy, and look forward to, the broadcasts.

[@ryanbrazill6863]

I don’t know if you have been seeing my comments randy but I would like to hear your input on this. You should do a series where you take a bowler and explain how they bowl with a bunch of different camera angles and some cool graphics. It could be called “How they do it”

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

+Chum - I’ve seen your suggestion. Working on some other features right now, but it’s an idea worth considering. Not much different from the Coach’s Clicker, though.

[@ryanbrazill6863]

BrownswickBowling Awesome! Keep up the great work dude! I’m thinking about starting my own bowling channel and I’m gonna do that when I start mine

Oh kewl, this was on my bday (I got a 255, my best :D)

[@FyrntyYT]

I saw Plano Super Bowl! I'm on their youth gold league! It's my local center.

[@noahraleigh8011]

[@AdamGaming28]

Randy i followed you on instagram. I’m @adamgaming28 :) love prodigy!

[@coreyharris889]

The golden voice is mesmerizing!!! These junior bowlers are really amazing as well... Excellent job Coach Randy!!!

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

+Corey Harris - Thanks, Corey! It was great seeing you and your fam tonight!

[@ed911detroit]

Like to see you set a 2nd camera up down the lane to see the ball hitting the pins.

[@Rodj12341]

When are we going to start getting road trip episodes again?

[@QsFJambs]

Do they bowl these on classic house shots or a modified or a sport shot?

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Jambs - It depends. We’ve been on a house shot so far this season. But I’ll get the bowling center to lay out a sport shot for us. Last season we usually bowled on sport shots.

[@kanji1553]

Hi

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Hungry Dragon25 - Hi. :-)

[@ttjason]

when will we get 1080p???

[@offspringfan1112]

whenever we raise enough money on patron to afford the new camera, as of right now everything is done on an IPhone i believe

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Never. Here's the deal: All the camera moves are done in post-production. (And they still will be when the new camera arrives.) We shoot in 4K. Edit in 720. That gives us the most possible pixels to throw away. When we "zoom in" (it's a virtual zoom, not an optical zoom) on a portion of the screen, the lower the resolution we edit in, the more pixels we can throw away without losing crispness in the footage. It looks great on a phone, which is how most people watch it. Me? I have a 5K Retina Display iMac, and it's quite acceptable on that, too.

[@calebreaves358]

Well we have it now

[@JYeung-hi6oe]

I know it's a old video but I want to ask that what's the layout of the pitch black that Jacob used

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

I have no idea. Jacob bowls league at a different center.

[@JYeung-hi6oe]

Ok thx

[@yulondajohnson1359]

Tyrrell is nice he needs to go to pba

[@jaxonandersson4042]

heh yall should come to osan airbase south korea

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

You're the one at an air base. You should just hop a plane and come on over here.

[@jacobahejew1433]

My name is Jacob to

[@Steve.Orland]

yay

[@rrnick00]

Dawson reminds me of gary faulkner jr

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Yrnick - Yes, the similarities in their styles is striking (no pun intended).

[@jacobahejew1433]

Where dose Bryant bowl at

[@josedcarrillo24]

Jacob ahejew everyone in the stepladder bowls at brunswick zone lilburn, except Logan. He bowls at Roswell

Fake Account its 720 p for me

[@brianlee2439]

I wanna buy another ball but they are expensive for a kid like me. Can I buy a used ball that is cheaper. Would it affect anything different if I bought a new ball.

[@angellim7460]

Would you like to buy a spare ball or reactive ball? If your buying a spare ball,you can just make sure it has no cuts on it or anything. If your buying reactive ball,i reccomend you to buy a new one because used one if not taken care properly, oil will go in the ball and it would not hook. Who uses a reactive ball that cannot hook! Make sure the person your buying from takes care of his ball and cleans his ball oftenly.

[@brianlee2439]

I bowl like jacob.im looking at the floor

[@jameswithfriends835]

Why is it called "The great potato salad hurl?"

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

I was wondering when someone would get around to asking that question. I named it in honor of why we didn't have a PRODIGY episode last week. I was home barfing my brains out for about 30 hours straight with food poisoning from some bad potato salad I bought and ate that Friday night, prompting me to stay home and not go to the bowling center on 9/23 as planned. And I would tell you where I got that potato salad but......oh wait......I did.

[@noahraleigh8011]

33:44 i bowl at plano super bowl my dad works there

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Well, I'm in discussion with someone there about bringing PRODIGY to PSB. Stay tuned.

[@noahraleigh8011]

BrownswickBowling when do you plan on being there

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

I don't plan on being there. I'm working with someone there to develop a pilot program where we have someone at the site do all the work of getting the kids' parents to sign the talent release forms, granting me permission to put their kids on KZbin, and shooting the video there. Then sending me the footage, where I'll then do my magic with it and turn it into a PRODIGY BOWLERS *SATELLITE* TOUR bowl cast, just like the ones you see here. We're in the early stages. I'm still developing the handbook full of instructions and checklist items to enable someone to do this remotely and get the footage to me. PSB would be our pilot show. Once we get the kinks hammered out, we'll take it nationwide. How cool would THAT be?

[@FyrntyYT]

BrownswickBowling That would be awesome! PSB is my home alley as well.

[@jacoblovvorn6477]

BrownswickBowling do you think it would ever come to Alabama because I really love to bowl. My average is in the 190s

[@darrenthomas1004]

cocah darren loagn

[@maulfaire1851]

Dawson has such a beautiful release

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

He's really been working on staying behind the ball longer. This was as good as I've seen him look.

[@Ben-jz3mt]

I’m not trying to be Mr. Impatient or anything, but have you guys gotten the new camera yet? I’ve been waiting a long time to watch an episode of PBT in something other than fuzzy phone quality.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

+Ben 1014 - I’ll order it later this month.

[@ddtalk]

Wow Dawson looks like a left handed Bo Burton Jr. A great talent you are!!! Tyrrell has a better follow through than Belmo! These young men can go pro when it's time. Great match!! What a Title Match! Kudos to Logan! Welcome back and great bowling! Tyrrell,so sorry you were dealing with back issues...you're one tough bowler! I hope to see you bowl again! The other two young men that lost in the first two matches have a lot of talent too! Just need to watch them swing planes. Best matches I've seen!! Great job Randy....The kids and parents are lucky to have you! By the way...I'd much rather listen to your play by play Announcing alongside Randy Pedersen on the PBA tour...then his other partners(they don't seem to have a clue). Except for Rob Stone who coined hambone for 4 strikes in a row.. He was real good but didn't have your knowledge......so in my book you win and That's the truth! Loved the Marion Ladewig history section. Glad your feeling better!! Blessings!!

[@woahthatsjames]

Why didn’t you mention that Dawson was throwing urathean

[@josedcarrillo24]

MKG• James he might've forgotten to say so

[@ztheg_]

Why the narrator hating on Bryant swing. There's a reason why he's bowling on the prodigy tour and your just commenting in a booth.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Hey, @ztheg: I'm the narrator. And I'm the guy behind PRODIGY. I don't "hate" on Bryant's swing. I'm a USBC Silver Certified Coach and a former PBA player. I've been around the game most of my life, and have won a bunch of tournaments. I'm trying to HELP Bryant get better. And as the Executive Producer and play-by-play voice on this show, I'm going to use my position to try to help these kids, whether they bowl in the youth program I run or not. Some of them have coaches. Some don't. Bryant does. But his coach was sidelined for a while after suffering a stroke a few weeks ago. So I offered some advice in the Coach's Clicker feature. That's what I do. Listen. You might learn something.

[@Ken-lb8yy]

i was hoping you were going to address his swing, you did a good job.

[@brianlee2439]

BrownswickBowling wait u were a pba player WHATTTT
