[@skateplusrice]

wow having EJ is like a cheat code

[@davidnapier1269]

A friend of mine was on his pair at the masters. "He's a robot" were his exact words

[@TheBigfoot1999]

It was "cheating" because it wasn't a true team effort...they didn't go 1 for 1.

[@Vesachey]

@@TheBigfoot1999 yap yap

[@rodennis418]

"I've been watching a lot of youtube lately..." Does things completely different than all the others have 🤣

[@chrisandmikegraf6015]

I thought the challenge was 2 bowlers throwing a ball on each lane not the pro bowling 80% of the shots I think they should automatically make their donation

[@CBahlBowling]

They never said they had to alternate

[@oilvalleyoutdoors]

I agree

[@topgunne12]

Love EJ. You know he's a good golfer because he used Tiger's quote about how good your bad shots are. Much respect.

[@stevejohnjr4092]

I could watch E.J. bowl all day.He is so much fun to watch.

[@jeffgodlevsky2489]

EJ doing all the work and getting interviewed.

[@billcain7821]

I really Like EJ. and all the great info. we got from him during this video, but I'm not sure this qualifies as a true win. This was supposed to be a team effort everyone else that's done this including Packy as a team, you on the other hand did not and only bowled like 5% of the attempts while EJ. bowled the other 95% of the attempts. This was supposed to be a 50-50 share of the attempts and as much as I enjoyed this video, I don't think you actually won this challenge. If you want to truly win this challenge, I think you need to reset and do it right this time with both you and your partner taking half the attempts yes, no, maybe, sometimes, always, never?

[@GabeC_notsopba]

I agree. Not equal, but still great to watch. Thanks Ron and EJ for doing this!

[@seymourbutts5277]

He let EJ shoot all the shots because he knew they'd fail with him actually participating

[@sethranney]

@@seymourbutts5277 he only struck 4/9 shots. Definitely would have failed.

[@heftygainz]

Isnt the idea to switch off every other shot?

[@JustChuck1t]

They failed the assignment.

[@shadowthagreat]

​@@JustChuck1tbig time 😂😂

[@georgefinneyiv3922]

In the original video when packy challenged everyone he never said it needed to be alternate shots. Just said fastest to 50. Never even mentioned 2 ppl !!

[@No_Lucks_Given]

​@@georgefinneyiv3922that's true. Hahahaha

[@douglasjared2541]

​@@No_Lucks_Givenupmoo ú

[@daveshultz4165]

All the other challenges have both bowlers alternating throw just like league.

[@kenfrank7708]

As far as the information and content I liked the video. Having seen all the other videos, I really don't feel that this was in the spirit of the original challenge as all the other teams alternated shots. Still congratulations on your results.

[@SkateClipsAndTips]

Agreed

[@SteveSmith-mx1bu]

Nice

[@DrJAFox]

At least Packy had the amateur bowl half the time ...

[@peteg475]

Yeah, I thought that was the deal. You're supposed to play two guys.

[@c.j.luttges4793]

That’s what I thought too. They are supposed to both be making shots not just the one person and Ronald take all the credit that’s not fair.

[@rebootnut]

Yeah. But they're donating regardless. So it's a win/win

[@timanders3151]

it aint that serious bro.. It's fun and a donation to a charity.

[@Phosbrite]

Bad faith attempt here. Packy and Brett shared the shots. This was just bringing in a ringer.

[@doctorrobert60]

Ronald, thank you for having EJ shooting here. Love his game. I remember watching him when his team won the college championship thinking this guy is something special. His Dad then and now is his biggest fan as well.

[@mrbiggs1203]

Brought in the cheat code lol...congrats guys

[@johnnyhughes5297]

It's not a 1 person Challenge You're supposed to be having two😢

[@showtimeman5673]

The goal of the 50 strike challenge is for 2 people to do it on 2 lanes.

[@joshuakazfields4374]

They did this wrong so not sure why to even post it.

[@Wildbear28]

Definitely took the fun out of it..had hoped this was going to be an awesome video...dry...for sure..

[@JoeS-ej4gn]

Agreed. Ronald said he saw it on KZbin. Did he actually watch any of it?

[@georgefinneyiv3922]

Can someone point out where in packys video it said it had to be 2 ppl alternate shots?

[@georgefinneyiv3922]

Didn't think so!

[@willysteiner]

I love how EJ bowls. His statements were so on the point. A lot to learn for bowlers who play normally on tougher patterns. You have to move ahead before the splits come up. Who scores best with their bad shots will succeed. Interesting! Thank you EJ and Ron - great video

[@sirdaveo]

You making hime throw around 60 shots? You are a mean guy.

[@dylanh6478]

I’m pretty sure they’re aware that the challenge was intended to be 50/50. They acknowledged it was for fun and they were going to donate regardless at the end. Just enjoy watching him bowl and his wealth of information

[@samho6777]

Love watching EJ, always a class act and his rev rate so awesome!!!! Continue supporting him all da way from Hong Kong!!!!!

[@bohlingproject2514]

The nuggets of information in this video are incredibly valuable. Love this...

[@user-gt1wr1vh3i]

Great challenge video guys! I like the talk about game analysis during this one. Shot #51 was the BEST! Thanks so much

[@larrylacroix3944]

Great video watching E J and listening to all he said and explaining bowling was fantastic

[@bradleytriplett4726]

It’s supposed to be 50/50 effort from both people

[@georgefinneyiv3922]

Love watching EJ bowl. What a tank!

[@jessemcclintic]

Not being a hater but ron you need to bowl more then a hand full of times. I hear it in ejs voice is getting a little annoyed that hes doing all the work/effort

[@bigkahuna3714]

Ron love Ej but u supposed to bowl 50% of the shots, but big ups to Ej for also donating to Packys organization

[@mkhris24]

Get out of here with one team putting oil on their lane and now with Ej bowling 90% of the time i would have to say the need to donate their 100 to Wichita!!!!

[@danbates5423]

I've had a chance to meet ej, watch him interact with my son and other kids, just a great young man, love the emotion

[@ChrisUlrich]

I loved this video. Meeting and speaking with him at the tournament at North Brunswick, NJ was such an amazing experience.

[@lahlah3602]

EJ was there to practice with his new ball

[@ripvanrevs]

EJ was there to SELL a bunch of his new balls.

[@MrHerbster28]

Great video, Ej is a machine! Ball is looking incredible, really fighting the urge to get one lol I cant help but wonder what the soft ball cup is you put the nuke onto on the table? Cant find it on the website?

[@will_koerner]

EJ looks visibly frustrated that he’s doing all the shots 😅 but I also get Ron is trying to use this as a “teaching experience” and picking EJs brain on shots and his thinking. Which I very much appreciate

[@nukkiiskou1574]

He literally explains that he’s going to let EJ bowl the majority 😂

[@r.j.knight784]

The challenge is 50 strikes as two bowlers not one and you bowling now and then

[@Ctdbowling]

That's not true if you watch the video they put out.

[@cameronernst2877]

@@Ctdbowlingbro you’re just abusing him leaving the rules more open to interpretation than outwardly stating exactly what was and was not allowed. You should redo this

[@sethranney]

@@Ctdbowlingit's definitely true if YOU watch the video they put out. They threw exactly 50/50.

[@Ctdbowling]

@@sethranney incorrect they didn't throw 50/50. Go watch again because believe me we have.

[@sethranney]

@@Ctdbowlingyou're right. They threw Packy 36 - Brent 35 (50.7%-49.3%). They added an extra shot to the counter( the 47th shot), which means they got it in 71 shots. Now if they DID actually take 72 shots (and forgot to record it), and it was Brent who took the extra shot, that means 36-36 (50/50 in case you can't do that math). You guys split it 61-9. Just admit that you did it against what were the OBVIOUSLY inferred rules.

[@joeanderson9267]

Awesome! You guys rock!

[@fredcoyle7471]

I thought this was a two person challenge. Not really the same with one shooting most of the shots. It took away some of the enjoyment of watching the challenge. Still enjoyed watching EJ though.

[@rikvonmn]

I don't think this counts guys??? Packy said it's gotta be 2 guys and every other shot

[@williamfreitas7016]

If you watch Packy’s closely they also didn’t alternate every other shot. Definitely more than Ron did by a long shot though.

[@Ctdbowling]

Where does it say that in their video? It doesn't, and they don't throw back to back shots either. 🤷🏾‍♂️. We are donating money so everyone wins 😁

[@sethranney]

@@CtdbowlingThey didn't say that explicitly, but they each threw 36 shots, and were never off by more than 2 shot difference (which they naturally remedied).

[@sethranney]

@@williamfreitas7016 they were pretty damn close to even, both threw 36 shots.

[@sethranney]

@@Ctdbowling are you donating your money to THEIR cause, or yours?

[@davidwamsley7864]

Yeah exactly just like bill Cain said it is supposed to a team challenge each of the two bowlers throwing ball for ball evenly not one person throwing 95% and and the other only throwing 5%.

[@brucehobson1118]

Two Fine Gentlemen and bowlers great job for donating.... May the Strikes be with You ....

[@Pioneer454]

This was awesome! Thanks Ronald (CTD) and EJ!

[@whatisdandoingtoday2954]

[@michaelrice6516]

JR, wow alot of what you are saying was like preaching to the choir. I can agree with so so much that you said. I could go on and on.

[@thebigeasy8609]

Oh my!!!!! This seems like cheating.............Kinda. On to the video.............I love love love this ball. It should compliment my original Pride nicely. Watching this gorgeous ball going down the lane was sa-weet. This ball will be HUGE! Thank you Mr. Hickland Jr. and HOF'er EJ!

[@daryldettmer9160]

Great insight by EJ and what he is seeing when he is bowling .. great information for sure . Great video. What kind of ball is this ? is it a hybrid or pearl and is it Asym ?

[@bowlmotiv]

it's a pearl and symmetrical! The new Nuclear Forge, releasing 10/18/2023!

[@noumaminolife9727]

What would your score have been if it was alternate shot? 100? 110? Also, I thought I saw another video where there was a 3 man team trying to beat the score but they didn’t look too strong.

[@johnblaha5692]

Weird vibes in this one not gonna Lie Shout out to e j, hes an absolute Beast on the Lanes I wish Ron would have thrown more shots. It would've added to the comradery and fun factor Also I feel like his ego Wouldn't let him throw more shots

[@PowRKord]

+1 to EJ for making things rightly at the end.

[@bowlingballreview3233]

Ej what do you think of the yellow jacket

[@jonzx14]

I thought this was a team challenge…. Gee, think I can have EJ for my next 9pin/no tap tournament doubles partner????

[@ripvanrevs]

Tommie Aaron is part of the brother combo of most homeruns in MLB history. Tommie has 13 and Hank has 755!

[@Mickey-qs9pm]

You need to check the rules for the 50 strike challenge!!!!

[@mauricerogers1980]

Yea your supposed to switch every shot so might say it doesn't count lol just to be a hater

[@malakaikeating534]

Technically he bowled with him he just sit their and watch

[@its.me_angie]

I wasn’t gonna click on the link because, 40 MINUTES LONG. But, I’m giving it a chance.

[@dannyyee9110]

Ron, you were supposed to bowl with E.J.

[@SteelcityinNY]

EJ is a class act. Period.

[@bradburton266]

So when EJ said he made a 2&1 adjustment, I would assume the 2 refers to 2 boards left...but what does the 1 mean?

[@seymourbutts5277]

1 with the eyes

[@zedsodead]

Lame, lame, lame. Cowboy up CEO Ron Hickland Jr!😅 Yeah, Im a 170 avg bowler, but Belmo will be my "partner" while I stand there and stroke my chin. This challenge needs to be alternate shots or just a singles challenge. You've taken a fun idea and made it as interesting as watching two bugs mate . I'd rather watch a nine pin tap tournament if I wanted to watch someone subvert the challenge. Boo on you, Ceo Ron Hickland Jr. and boo on you too, Tacket, for hogging all the shots. Get a clue both of you. Some things are meant to be fun. I call for a do over.

[@Tcrror]

EJ has one incredible year and he's the best bowler in the world? The title still belongs to Belmo.

[@ShinetsuYuki]

how do u fail on the what the challenge was supposed to be? bowlers switching off on opposite lanes.

[@CRAZY_VIDS07]

Cool but not really fair needs to be 1 each between 2players😅😅😅

[@MsEeyore14]

Just to clarify strike 37 was perfection 😂😂😂

[@ripvanrevs]

[@Wolfman12395]

[@Bdubs007]

No no no you CHEATED the system! You are supposed to alternate shots!!! This doesn't count imo

[@ryburnsjr]

I saw 2guys bowling the packy way and bowled a 64. With 50 strikes

[@stevenoakes2836]

Like how he throws a few shots and acts like the shot is wearing out while EJ is just like a machine and doing all the work.

[@electrician240]

This entire video is not like any of the other ones... it feels very tense!

[@seymourbutts5277]

This isn't the 50 strike challenge. Packy doesn't owe shit.

[@DinosaurLifeAvery]

I expected more from Mr CEO

[@raymonduelk6567]

BOTH people are supposed to participate, not only one

[@daveshultz4165]

Like the content. Love watch EJ throw strikes. But I feel that it is not really a fair challenge when EJ is the one throwing 98 prcent of the time.

[@andresgodoysalavert1529]

Wtf? Hey EJ win us 100 bucks... zero ethics from this guy

Bro you should’ve bowled roughly 50% each. Just having EJ throw almost every shot is not in the spirit of the challenge. Love EJ but man this was just low

[@seansmock8840]

Ok like both of you but it is supposed to be 50/50 on shots not 80/20. He only threw like 8 shots and only struck like 3 times. Should have stuck to the format:(

[@justanotherstacker9832]

Not trying to be a hater, but after having watched Packy’s video along with other videos, I don’t think this vid was made in the same type of “spirit” as the others. It’s supposed to be both people bowling every other shot. Not one person doing the majority of the work…

[@fishfry1722]

Definitely not a win for y’all, you threw maybe 8 shots the whole time and missed half😂😂😂EJ shot like 50 of the shots💀

[@sethranney]

61-9 what a joke.

[@MsEeyore14]

This clearly doesn’t count Packy clearly says that your supposed to switch every shot

[@BornIn1500]

"Clearly"? So then you can tell us the timestamp of exactly when Packy said that in his video. We'll wait for your "clear" response. But we know you won't find it because he never said it...

[@sethranney]

@@BornIn1500He didn't have to say it because it inferred. If you play a doubles game, are you supposed to bowl for you partner? Packy and Brent both threw 36 shots exactly.

[@BornIn1500]

@@sethranney What you just did is called moving the goalposts. If you think it is inferred (which is subjective), then Packy didn't "clearly say it".

[@sethranney]

@@BornIn1500 How did I move the goalposts? I never said he clearly said it. If you watch the original video they split the attempts evenly, that is how you infer the rules. Brent didn't just sit there, jerking himself off, while Packy did all the work. Every other challenger did it correctly without it being said CLEARLY.

Belmo, great bowler. EJ Tackett also a great bowler AND 2023 Player of the Year.

[@johnlaluzerne1625]

[@billschmitt3868]

Supposed to split the shots evenly.

[@ryanstocking6367]

Like a bunch of others have mentioned, I don't think its fair that EJ took most of the shots. I would rather watch him anyways but Ronald Mcdonald over there just sat and watched for the most part and took advantage of the fact that EJ is a lot better than him. Even EJ asked why he was the only one bowling. I don't care if you're doing this for fun or donating money, its supposed to be a team effort you 🤡

Ej? It sounds and looks like you are driving your ball into the ground starting out. Is that on purpose? And how do you have EJ right there. And don't ask what you doing wrong on the 5 balls you threw? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@willwells6374]

That was an outrageous scam. Congrats to EJ for winning I love the guy and all the info he shared and how much positivity he brings but he bowled nearly all the shots. The other guy only bowled like a total of 7-8 most of which were misses. That’s way different than what the other channels did and specifically Brent Bowers and Packy they bowled essentially the same amount of shots across the 72 total they threw.

[@kylenabozny6260]

EJ the best bowler in the world is a stretch

[@Ctdbowling]

The data says otherwise. Go spend some time on the PBA website and look at not only how many times he won but what he won this year.

[@Konnerh07]

Is Belmo not the number one rated bowler anymore?

[@williamfreitas7016]

Not this year. EJ Tackett is the 2023 Player of the Year. I believe this is his second time winning that award.
