Prodigy Bowlers Tour -- 12-03-2016

[@Interdicted]

these kids have amazing skills and talent! grats to their coach!

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Thanks! Although to be fair, I can't claim much credit for Logan and Charlie. Logan works mainly with his dad (who, interestingly, is not a bowler). And Charlie has a coach that he goes to see. I've worked with Christian for a while now, and as I mentioned in the Coach's Clicker segment, he remains a "work in progress." But he's a good kid and loves the game (heck, he LIVES FOR THE GAME!), so I'm confident that we will see him reach his full potential over time.

[@tylerchasing300]

I love watching these things. I have watched all of these after league tournaments at least 3 times, I just can't get enough of the rising talent. Keep it up!

[@jakemeyer991]

This was awesome! Logan has a lot of talent. All of them do!

[@KyahRose]

Awesome step ladder!! Really enjoying these videos, please keep them coming. Also, I love the idea of giving the golden pin to the winner at the end of the season...great idea I hope it continues on. I hope for the prodigy tour to also not only continue on, but even grow in time.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Kyah Rose - Thanks, Kyah. That's my hope, too. The pin (wood grain, not gold) was my idea as a way to give these kids something tangible to play for. It's on order and as soon as it arrives, we'll include a "signing ceremony" at the conclusion of future shows. Thanks for watching.

[@KyahRose]

I look forward to watching! The pin is definitely still great!

[@nolank.6651]

Want to say love the videos and got a new bowling ball and can't wait to try it out soon, love the 300 video from Logan and have to say it is amazing to see that, I am 14 and have only been bowing for about a few months now and only able to get a 190. But it is all practice

[@LoganFossum]

Nolan Kuck Ha thanks, and it is A LOT of practice, but you'll get there if you put the work in. I promise

[@danigurl1428]

Poor Charlie, he bowls a bad game with one or two strikes when it counts, but when he's out and just practicing he bowls like six or seven strikes constantly! Anyway good job! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Just want to point out lane 20 left the 5-7-10 at 16:51

[@ava-gn2we]

[@zVision_]

@@ava-gn2we how? You must have a lot of hook on your ball.

[@ava-gn2we]

@@zVision_ no, not really, i was using a light spare ball so it bounced onto the other pin

[@essys9604]

Charlie stays picking up 4-7-10 splits bro ^.^

[@JayAyers]

I'm noticing that Charlie has a slight hitch in his swing when going for the 10 pin. I'm thinking its from trying to aim the ball to the 10 instead of trusting his shot.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

I'll hold off judgment on that for now. I learned two Saturdays ago that Charlie's equipment doesn't fit him. He's outgrown the span by quite a lot. And his urethane ball -- the one he uses to shoot at 10 pins -- is the worst. Based on how his hand lays on the ball, it almost looks as if it's drilled as a conventional grip (it's not, it's fingertip). This sort of thing happens with kids, especially around this age. They tend to grow in spurts. Christian (who's about a year younger than Charlie) had the same thing happen last year. Before you knew it, some new equipment we'd had drilled up for him was already useless, as he'd outgrown the span in a short period of time. Last Saturday (1/21/2017) as we were taping the show, he informed me that he had a whole new arsenal drilled up and waiting for him to pick it up at a pro shop across town. So I expect to see him with a brand new arsenal THAT FITS HIS HAND this Saturday. I fully anticipate that some of these problems we've been seeing with his spare shooting will be cleared up simply by him having equipment that fits his hand and that he doesn't have to SQUEEZE just to hold on to. I'll give him a couple of weeks to adapt to the new fitting before I draw too many conclusions about this. I know this much: If the equipment doesn't fit (and a span that's MUCH too short is a big, big problem), then it can cause other problems. I want to see if some of this clears up just by him having equipment that fits properly.

[@nerdycubing2934]

12:03 once my friends dad threw a pretty good ball but the 4 or 7 pin (not sure) scooted all the way to about the 10 pin spot and stayed up it was literally insane to watch

[@ryanelhaje9908]

Logan is pretty good on my opinion

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

He's very good, indeed. He's really stepped up and jettisoned his game forward a few big steps in just the last six or eight months. But don't short change Charlie. The two of them are consistently among the top U15 Boys in the state of Georgia. Until this year, Charlie pretty consistently got the better of Logan in the various tournaments in which they competed. But over the Summer, Logan stepped it up and now he's pulled basically even, and maybe even passed Charlie by a nose. But as this past weekend's Junior Gold qualifier proved, Charlie still is capable of stepping up and winning, as he fended off Logan's challenge in Sunday's Georgia Youth Bowlers Tour event (as mentioned in the closing moments of this webcast). I'd say the two of them are neck-and-neck. And once Christian pulls out of the little slump he's fighting through, he could be right there with them. And there's another one in our ranks (not in this particular webcast, however) named Brandon. "Little B," as he's affectionately known, still is a little ways behind Logan and Charlie, but this is only his second full season of league bowling and he's already averaging in the 190s (on a house shot in league) and has had some nice showings in the GYBT events on sport patterns. He has made remarkable progress in a very short period of time, and still has plenty of room for improvement. All three of four of them are dedicated to the game, and I have no doubt that in about ten or twelve years, you'll be hearing from at least one or two of them should they decide to pursue professional bowling. Some of them certainly have that kind of potential.

[@ryanelhaje9908]

BrownswickBowling I'm ten and I'd say I am OK( my best is 8 strikes in a row)

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Wow! Ten...with an 8-bagger! Very impressive. Keep at it! How long have you been bowling?

[@jsweebles2150]

Really talented bowlers, this is my second year of high school bowling and I started throwing a hook 2 handed tho it needs some work badly. I got my first bowling ball drilled recently and i'm trying to work on it hooking to early.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

You're very fortunate to live somewhere that there's such a thing as "high school bowling." Bowling hasn't come to high schools here in Georgia yet. There are those of us in the bowling community who are trying to push in that direction. But it hasn't happened yet. I suspect it will...eventually. Hope so, anyway.

[@jsweebles2150]

Yeah I'm glad we have one, many schools near us don't have a team. It would be great tho if it became more common of a sport in schools tho. Anyways I wish all of the bowlers luck :)

[@LuchoVena]

My high school had many interested bowlers, but there wasnt a league, or the school wasnt part of a league system, so we just intramural, wish I had some kind of competitive support as these juniors have in my area. I was avg 175 at 16 without coaching. Just learned on my own by watching and analyzing the mechanics of the sport (just like I do to everything everyday, an sport). Just wished I had more support back then. I older now and just moved to Orlando and the bowling scene is crazy hear, all kinds of junior, high school and college competition. Im depressed now lol

[@LuchoVena]

loving the series logan did get better, his swing more smoother and consistent, perhaps his hand not as much as on top of the ball at release anymore But mostly Im here for those old bowling commercials. I think they are even more effective than today's superbowl commercials. I want a Crown Jewel lol

[@EfrainRoca]

THE LOGAN'S STYLE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE HALL OF FAME AMLETO MONACELLI. VERY EFFECTIVE !.... REALLY A PRODIGY

[@LuchoVena]

umm no....what part? coz Ive followed Amleto (compatriot) and Logan's technique has too many differences imo Amleto hops into a slide (Logan doesnt) Amleto walks to the left way too much for many people's comfort (Loga doesnt) his backswing are nothing alike, Amleto corks/twists the ball at the top, makes a bit of a figure 8, Logan keeps it straight Amleto's hand is mostly under and behind the ball, Logan's above the ball and seems to be improving it by lowering each video I see. Perhaps the ONLY similarity might be the elbow snap. I dont see anything else. Not to undermine Longa's technique, his is still very refined and getting better. Each bowler has their own style

[@tsh3961]

What ball is Christian using in the qualifying game?

[@user-sv5wh8gt2h]

DV8 POISON

[@jadenstraub1496]

Off video 😞

[@Yugiohforlife1122]

This is a great series i love watching the guys bowl... If you could could you try getting a two hander on the next episode.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

yuigoh mac - We've had two-handers on the show. Check our archive. Mikey is our best two hander (I caught him on video taking a run at perfection the very first game of the season). And in our Thanksgiving Turkey Shootout, we had TWO two-handers make the show, both from our younger group of kids (two brothers, by the way). They're young, but full of potential. I think you'll agree that the older of the two, 10 year old Trishul, already is showing some very promising signs despite the fact that he is still throwing a house ball. Go watch. I think you'll enjoy. ;-)

[@jonathancampbell7484]

BrownswickBowling where is this located?? These kids are great..

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Jonathan Campbell - Brunswick Zone Roswell in Roswell, GA (suburban Atlanta)

[@jonathancampbell7484]

Oh ok cool the reason I asked is because it looks like the lanes in Augusta Georgia, I go up there every year for tournaments, but these kids have serious talent..

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Jonathan Campbell - Yeah, I think all the "Brunswick Zones" were outfitted with these same ball returns, masking units and end wall murals. So they all look pretty similar.

[@rayw9868]

Logan is dedication on vacation still rolling the stone.

These kids are amazing for so young, and its nice to see some kids still using their thumb.

[@devinevans4724]

Yes Im 13 and in my league and tournaments i bowl in almost half of the people are 2handed my self I bowl one handed.

[@Blue_diamond156]

I’m kinda good at bowling two handed but I been bowing one handed for a long time

[@TankuBOSS]

Lol, I have the same ball as Logan. It is so fun to use and it is very effective! The 900 global (BOOST)

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Joshua Lance - This was almost 2 years ago, but I don’t remember Logan ever having a 900 Global ball.

[@benjFPS]

Yeah, I have a Global 900 Boost and Logan's ball in this video looks nothing like the Boost.

[@juanchocalumpong]

It's a game breaker 2 phenom

[@rienysiemons22]

charlie is special actually special on the left

[@soloboi575]

you guys should tour to Minnesota because we have a lot of bowlers here two handed, left handed, right handed, and even an over head bowler. Even if you guys do come than I might bowl with you guys here is my average and highest game. Average: 102 Highest game: 155

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Overhead? Hmmmmm.....

[@LuchoVena]

Ive seen a chest bowler too, very accurate. I was impressed

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

We have one in our Junior Varsity league (the little kids). She had a hard time lugging the ball up swinging it at her side. She has become pretty accurate with pushing it forward, like a basketball pass. She's only 6, so she has a long ways to go. But as soon as she learned how to do it this way (and keep the ball on the lane more consistently), her outlook toward bowling picked up greatly in a big hurry. :-)

[@michaelsgamingworld1214]

Logan was doing amazing and December 3 is my birthday

[@Bowlingkevin300]

[@alexformosa]

You should start listing what balls the kids are throwing

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

[@alexformosa]

BrownswickBowling any chance you could tell me which video this is in? I'd like to know what equipment the players are bowling with. Love your videos of the younger bowlers

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

alex formosa - Yes it was the video of Logan and Charles on 10/22, which also happened to be the one episode I shot with a hand-held camera. Some very interesting angles on that episode.

[@alexformosa]

BrownswickBowling Thanks alot! I am know subscribed and watching your videos regularly.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

@alex formosa - I was wrong. Sorry. The episode in which I first asked one of the bowlers about his arsenal was the first episode in which we started incorporating interviews of the players. That was the 11/12 episode.

[@kyledollbaum2757]

what ball is christian using

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Christian's got a couple of bowling balls in his arsenal as of this taping. The yellow ball he throws is a DV8 Misfit Pearl. He's also got a darker colored (black, green) Scandal. Both 15 lbs.

[@MsLrmeyer]

This kids are ok they're bowling on a house shot

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

The carry at this house is notoriously challenging. The gutters are set at maximum allowable depth, and the sideboards are not especially lively. If you can carry at Roswell, you can carry anywhere. Every time I bowl somewhere else, I swear these other houses are using light pins, as they just seem to fly around. Not so at BZ Roswell. Getting to the pocket (at least when the house shot is fresh) isn't a problem. Carrying is.

Nathan Meisch First of all, you need to learn how to spell, and second him being a lowkey power-player did get him somewhere.

[@nathanmeisch6496]

well thats true and i need to spell better i should write it on paper then put on here i could write but can type it

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Being a power player doesn't get you that far? Really? Tell that to Jason Belmonte or just about any other top pro in the PBA. That's a most curious (and mostly incorrect) assertion. That said, I will acknowledge that accuracy remains the biggest part of the game. Especially when it comes to spare shooting. All the power in the world won't help you if you can't hit what you're looking at. But to say that power doesn't get you that far is simply wrong.

[@Pogz1337]

Oi this commentator puts me to sleep every time I watch this lol

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

PogzBowling - Now there's a critique I can agree with. LOL! *I* am "this announcer" and after spending upwards to 18-20 hours over a couple of days on the weekend editing the video and adding all the production values to it, *I'm* usually falling asleep as I add in the play-by-play voiceover, which always happens last in the post-production process. Usually at about 4 AM. For the record, after having done (PGA TOUR golf) play-by-play for a living a number of years ago, I can tell you it's never been my intent to draw attention to myself or try to be the center of attention on these webcasts. The kids are the stars, and the more I can blend into the woodwork, not get noticed, and let them be the main attraction, the better I feel like I'm doing my job. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go take a nap. LOL!
