THE RETURN TO THE BOWLING ALLEY

[@BrandonHanson30]

I live less than 5 minutes away from this place. It's absolutely awesome.

[@chickenleg1995]

the bowling was different Brooks. I like the miniature golf too. Keep up the Golf videos cant wait for the next video.

[@StaleyHargett-bc5qi]

Looks like fun. I have bowled a 228. But I have converted a 7-10 split several years ago. It was unexpected and any one that saw it I got an applause from people in the bowling alley. Good luck in mini golf and also in your travels. Have fun and stay safe!

[@carolhodges9899]

Many moons ago, I bowled duckpins (which most people have never heard of) in a Thursday night league. My sisters and Mom and Dad also bowled. We had such a blast. Afterward, each week, we’d go to a local pizza joint and have food and “beverage” and laughed a lot. Such fond memories. I was never very good, but I had fun. Brooks and Elisha, there is a reason the lanes are slippery. Take a few steps then sliiiide up to the foul line, and let the momentum of your body help your arm with getting the ball down the lane. Rolling the ball as opposed to throwing it usually leads to better, more consistent results. The tick marks on the floor and the lane show you where to aim the ball, depending on whether it’s your first shot for a strike or whether you’re clearing the lane for your spare attempt. I love that you had fun, and that Elisha plays but doesn’t get phased by it. No matter what y’all share with us, we know it’s going to be a fun time! Thank you. As I write this, it’s March of 2023, so it’s been awhile since you shared this.

[@xVampyreMoonx]

Here's a tip. Look between the head pin and the 3 pin which is to its right in behind it. Focus on that area as you throw the ball.

[@thedisneycakebread7644]

I live in California, but one of these days, when the COVID-19 conditions reduce, I would like to meet you and Elisha in person and give you some tips on the lanes as an experienced bowler! I’ll bring my bowling gear, as well, and teach you as much as I can about bowling to both you and Elisha!

[@Fetch26291]

Come up to New England and try Candlepin Bowling. While in New England, also be sure to try clam cakes, fried clams, and clam chowder.

[@MannyEmm]

This video was 4 yeas ago. You should do more. Your bowling vids are a lot of fun. My highest score, and I have done this 3 times, was 256. This is January 2023 and I have not bowled in 5 years. I gotta get back to the lanes. Thanks guys!

[@Gonzo614]

TIP: Bend at the waist and roll the ball. My high game was a 276.

[@thatguitarguy9376]

4:45 when I pass a test I didn’t study for lol. Awesome video Brooks!

[@TheDarkEnforcer]

Yeah, I call major league shenanigans on that throw by Brooks.

[@nickbutler9133]

You Brooks just always make me love this bowling and mini golf videos.🏌️🎳

[@nathanowens3423]

First tip is to get your own ball. It’s much easier to be consistent -throwing the ball at the spot you want it-, which is the foundation for learning all the other techniques, when you have a ball that is drilled to fit your hand and is at a weight you’re comfortable with. You don’t need the most expensive ball on the market either. DV8 makes a plastic ball for about $50. Beginners don’t need a $250-300 reactive resin asymmetric core ball.

[@dakotakulha8376]

You guys should come out to Pennsylvania and bowl with me. Westmoreland County is where I am. Hope you make it sometime Brooks!!

[@williampatrie514]

Elisha looks so cute when she's bowling its like she doesn't want to hurt the ball lol.🐶

[@andy92980]

I love bowling!! No 300 yet, but my highest so far is 298.

[@night_wishreacts14]

One of my friends got a 300 and their 16

[@TheClogndude]

That's my high also

[@stud88100]

The bowling with pool style bowling balls was great. Nice change of pace

[@Flyboy_73]

It’s hard to get any kind of consistency in your roll with balls the alley supplies. If you want to get better at bowling I’d suggest you get your own ball custom drilled. For a starter ball, find a cheap one (around $100 or less) with a reactive resin cover; get finger plugs and a thumb slug. Once you get that done, learn the handshake release so you can get a good arc on it as it approaches the pins. When I got my own I upped my average from about 130 with lane balls to just shy of 190 within a month of bowing just twice a week. A lot of that was just getting more consistent throws and being able to pick up more spares as a result. My high-game has been done twice in a fun league at 218 scratch with no handicap added.

[@markdavy7733]

My best is 224. I told myself beforehand that if I ever got a 225 I would buy my own ball. Gutted. Never got close since.

[@samkirksey8485]

Aim for the middle pin and take your time

[@6GEAR]

I haven't bowled in years, I like bowling I need to go do that one day. Thank You👍

[@ChadillacGaming86]

Love bowling. I used to be in a league and my highest score was 267. And tip for both of you if your fingers are sticking when you throw the ball that usually means your fingers are wet or sweaty and you need to dry them off. There is vent at the blows air at the front of the ball return. Use that to dry your hands. Or like i used to do during League's is keep baby powder in our ball bags that helps to keep fingers dry.

[@IrishCrow]

Great video. My highest scratch game was a 267 and I held an average of 199 to 203. Advice for Brooks as you approach keep shoulders squared. Elisha I would advise to aim at the middle arrow with how she throws the ball. Hope that helps

[@firebarth92]

I would suggest using the dots you see on the floor. Aim for the middle and left or right one. Its a strike zone. I used to bowl in my junior and senior year of high school and now I bowl on a league with my friends. Love your videos Brooke! Love ya 2 Ellisha! (Sorry if I spelled your name wrong)

[@matthaupt5769]

Shake hands with the lane and remember to land on the opposite foot of the hand your bowling with so you don't have to go around your leg to throw the ball which ends up getting it thrown it to the gutter. It will help give you more control.

[@TimStevens32]

You need do bowling and golf videos to a mix bag of videos

[@samkirksey8485]

Brooks, Bowl with bumpers

[@bretthanson276]

line the ball with the dots on the floor use the center dot for a strike

[@toranfuglseth7049]

show the score every so often

[@schoolcraftT]

Elisha went Brooklyn, and Brooks converting the tough split.

[@tedpetry2028]

For small spare pick ups, stand opposite of where the pins are and go cross lane. You have more room, and with a hook, or curve ball, you won't hit the gutter, unless you're pretty bad. It's fun to see you guys do something different than mini golf. Definitely need a bit of coaching on your bowling. But you make it look fun, along with your minigolf. Totally enjoy your videos.

[@jimbrown2459]

Those diamonds on the floor are there for a purpose! Line up in the same place each time and adjust accordingly, use a pendulum motion after pushing the ball out from your chest! Practice makes perfect

[@wolfpack97LD]

I love bowling it’s my favorite sport to play my highest is 264 and I bowl two handed but I do it with my left hand I also do it for special Olympics it’s a lot fun you guys are doing great just need a little more practice and you will get better

[@bobbyrich7]

Wolfpack 97 That’s an awesome score! Change the 4 and 6 and that’s my highest score! 246! Haven’t beaten that score yet but I got that score twice! But I still love bowling and keep practicing! And you too Brooks and Elisha! LOVE YOU GUYS and keep making more AWESOME videos!

[@wolfpack97LD]

I bowl with special Olympics too!!! I'm in n Missouri what about you?

[@ryanchristopher8007]

Wolfpack 97 it’s my favorite sport to

[@samwelsh8241]

cool idea with the bowling balls being pool balls

[@jimmcclements5229]

For someone who doesn't bowl that often you do pretty good. The most important thing is making sure the ball fits snug not to loose and not too tight also make sure you are comfortable with the weight you don't want too heavy or too light. Even though they look like pool balls the number on the ball refers to the weight. Elisha is a natural and has a good release and follow through.

[@samkirksey8485]

I would love to bowl & play mini golf with you sometime when your in Avon lake,ohio

[@nikolasfeldman7684]

U guys are amazing people and I love to watch your vidz.

[@clogndude]

The number on the ball represents the weight (how heavy) it is. Weights range from 6-16 lbs.

[@rob2557]

I've actually bowl a 300 but that was on the Wii

[@k.o.dsquad7312]

Robert B StRiKE

[@AZWMKWofficialstarNinjaGeneral]

me too i also bowled a 300 on the wii

[@robertdowniejr7021]

when the ball goes in the gutter and pops out and hits the pins it doesn't count your suppose to reset before you throw your second ball

[@daystar4909]

Bro! I used to be a fan on your channel.... Now I am a full air conditioning unit!

[@TheNeckBeardSho]

Id actually love to bowl with yall if yall are ever near north louisiana. Ive taught a few people. Its very enjoyable

[@PianoPerformances-wy9wk]

Another place,Royal Lanes Social in Peachtree City,GA.

[@LunarVirtex]

bowled all 4 years a high school lettered twice was very fun and still is . from what it looks like when u go to release the ball your throwing to the left or right not straight. just slow down a bit and make sure ur arm goes straight back and straight forward

[@nikolaskrofta1652]

To get a strike you need to aim at the 1 and 2 pin for left handers at a 3-6 degrees or 1 and 3 pin for right handers at a 3-6 degrees. DO NOT go for the head pin. p.s. Put spin on the ball to get it.

[@timellington4887]

Glow in the dark pins would be fun!

[@axesoccer7887]

My best was 181 when I took a bowling class, to which I almost had a 6-pack at the end had one of my class not yell “MISS!” at the top of her lungs.

[@jessesimmons7008]

Plant your opposite foot with your hand. And where every your thumb is pointed when releasing the ball is where it will go

[@brendanrubio-boitel4940]

Go brooks

[@precious27100]

My boyfriend is a really good bowler and has been bowling since he was 4 yrs. old he could really help y'all out he use to have a 210 average

[@AnthonysMisadventures]

Elisha bowls like me. Sling it half way down the lane before the ball hits the ground and stopping in the wrong foot! I haven't bowled in years! Great video though!

[@vharrald]

The main thing brook is to shake hands with the head pin

[@mckenzieskelton9050]

I would love to bowl with y’all one day I could teach y’all some tricks

[@gosharks94]

good tip for bowling: keep your body square to the center of the lane, dont be fancy, let the arm swing nicely.

[@samkirksey8485]

Ask for bumpers turned on

[@scottsmith8546]

Elisha needs to slide with her left foot so her hip gets out of the way. Brooks is stepping sliding correctly but finish it with a hand shake. In other words, when you are swinging the ball from the back your hand is under/behind the ball and when your arm starts swinging forward pretend like you are going to shake someones hand at the release of the ball. Remember: 1, 2, 3, slide (RH...right, left, right, slide the left) LH opposite.

[@aaronchan1088]

bowled a pair of 289s way back in 1998 and 1999, but lost to pops both times by a pin each. all the other times i bowled 280 - 288 ended up winning (288 - 280 was the smallest pin differential) nowadays, any 200 game will do. saw a regular bowl a 300 game in a league back in 2017, and ended up earning a ring for it.

[@quantumgamesco]

Yes!! Finally!!

[@tonyhargrave5387]

I used to bowl daily when I worked as security at a bowling alley 15 years ago and 268 was my best of several games over 200, my best strike was hooking the ball bowling between my legs (not in them games)

I love watching your videos Brooks Holt

I've thrown 279 5 times now. Highest 3 game unofficially is 713. I'm fairly new around here, been subbed for only a month but congrats on the 100K subs Brooks! You've inspired my wife and I to play some mini golf but we don't have many courses to pick from and they're not as good as the ones you play.

[@daltonlower9031]

Let the ball spin with speed

[@akakhavens9851]

10th lane. 10 ball. 10th pin. 1st frame

[@sportsygirl8]

Not bad at all. Seemed like you guys were better at having control of the ball when you went to pick up your spares. I bowl on a league and when I was taught to bowl was to aim the ball at the pocket which for a right hander that throws straight you aim for the 1 and 3 pin. A lefty and throws a straight ball to aim for the 1 and 2 pins by standing to the right of the center dot or to the left of the center dot. If you throw the ball with a hook on it you aim for the same pins, but move over to the last dot closest to the gutter. When Elisha got 9 and left the 10 pin standing I felt bad because that pin is a right hander's nightmare. Same goes for a left hander and the 7 pin. I've never bowled a 300, but my highest score I ever bowled was a 233.

[@rbear1231]

if elisha switch her feet syhe would have better control of curve and it would lesson the slamming into the flood. simply put she is right handed so she should have her left foot forward as she releases the ball. now her way seems to be ok but what i suggest will help her release closer to the floor and she is not lobbing it a quarter to half down the lane before it meets the wood. thanks good shot vid but fun.

[@dacrambo1]

I’ve shot 300 12 times. From what I could see, Elisha needs to throw with her left foot out because her arm is trying to around her right leg and it causes her to, in essence, whip the ball around and it’s not consistent. She should also stand on the approach with her right foot pointing to the middle dot and try to throw the ball over the third arrow. Brooks, you form is better since your throwing the ball on your right foot due to the fact you are throwing left handed but you are letting the ball get behind your body and to compensate you are also whipping the ball around your body which makes for a very inconsistent shot. You need to have your left foot on the center dot and aim for the third arrow on the left.

[@patrickhardison9669]

Elisha, if you stand a little more to the right of the alley and aim for the 2nd arrow from the right on the lane you should have better luck with your first shot. Brooks, logically, try the same on the left hand side.

[@oksooners]

[@precious27100]

She should try to put her left foot forward being right handed and Brooks u need to bring ur arm and hand straight up and down u are crossing ur body when u throw

[@MonkeyQueen39]

Also, she needs to stand a little more to the right.

[@precious27100]

And get her hand and arm more up and down too
