On to the next one my friend…highlight of the trip was the pizza afterwards lol

[@evzenofficial]

These regional vlogs are some of my favs of yours, even though I love the wacky ideas that are on the main channel too. The straight forward competitiveness aspect of these are nice, and I can definitely relate to watching someone struggle in a tournament. So yeah keep working at it!

[@jenniferboone-sz1lo]

Aw Mike, some days ya just can't get a break. But your supporters are always glad for an extra video. Great to see Forrest, and Cagle always has me in stitches. 💞 oh this is me, just regular Jennifer B. I finally put up my avi.

Hey Jen. Didn’t recognize ya 😂

Also, I think I speak for all of us watching these videos.... It doesn't have to be non stop comedy. With or without all the fart sounds we enjoy seeing you progress and get better. Seeing you and forest bowl regionals is some of my favorite content.

[@VealParmigiana]

I like your arm swing, and you throw the ball well with two hands. I enjoyed watching your back-up balls on spares. It must be fun to bowl with Cagle. this video was very entertaining.

[@iandickey6220]

It was cool seeing that you crossed with a buddy of mine (Joe Pepitone). He and I run scratch tournaments down in the SoCal area. Glad to see he made an appearance on here

[@bobbyrobert5493]

I think u should try the 2 handed back up ball go to the dark side and play like a lefty u might be surprised it actually looks more natural and for what u showed u have control using it

[@pokeyinzer3412]

Tims looks like he droping the Kamehameha on his release 😂

[@zua7834]

I’ve been thinking about switching to 2 hands, ever sense I had wrist surgery it’s hard to do a full follow through when releasing the ball without a brace.

[@erebuskraken5483]

I've been bowling for a while now and I've always been amazed at two handed bowlers. Especially with Spares. I have enough trouble bowling with new hand I don't know how you guys bowl with two.

[@deonkirk7357]

2 handing spares is no joke especially the corner pin of your dominate hand, the natural revs combined with the ability to keep it straight is no joke...his backup ball shots were really good tho...also it's no need to always be entertaining, I'm sure most of your viewers are around age if not older and just enjoy the bowling good or bad

[@loob9166]

i spent half the video looking for my buddy in the background lol. Good bowling tho man, regionals are one of the best ways to get better fs

[@chipotlelover217]

Tim’s “nice shot” 😂 You’ll get it at the next regional

[@MrOsmodeus]

i'm not sure if you consider your backup ball good. whenever i try to throw like that i feel like it's trying to smash my fingers into splinters. so much so that i stopped putting any fingers inside the ball. but even that gave me more of a chance at hitting a tenpin than i've had trying to roll 2 handed straight

[@thebigeasy8609]

Better days brother!

[@doctorrobert60]

Like is said whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger....on to the next one! The Pro conditions are so much harder to bowl well on, hope the next one the right ball for lane conditions on the next tournament !

[@gwaped_up_savage3810]

I think a lot of us enjoy to watch you Pba matches no matter if you do good our bad still cool to watch

[@nickcuellar8593]

I think you should do more videos geared on how and what to practice to be competitive in these tournaments

Keep grinding, you’ll get a title soon enough 👍

[@SaucyVibes]

it blows my mind that Tim doesnt bust his ass lol. what a form

[@pivotchocolate]

It sucks starting so late because I have to do alot of self coaching and rely on people ive met that are experienced bowlers to help out. I was 1 handed cause i love the style but i focused on rev rate alot and i pulled the ball but spare shooting was good. I went back to 2 hand cause it felt more natural and i wasnt trying so hard to put rev on it cause i could crank my wrist. Other day im goofing around 1 handed and felt like everything just clicked XD now im stuck between what to do. My sport shot avg also dropped by 10 pins going to 2 handed even though it felt like i threw the ball more consistently and spare shooting was that much worse as far as i could tell

[@pivotchocolate]

wasnt that much worse*

[@WhyGuyGamer]

I know Anthony in he is at my pro shop at parkway bowl he is very nice and we’re good friends.

[@Poundcakebowler]

Mike, let’s not talk how I bowled in Evansville this weekend too. I feel your absolute pain

[@Yarbsy]

Salvino 44 is so hard. You have to play it so tight and there’s like a 3 board margin for error if that

[@STLMTB]

At my last night of league, I bowled a 115, then a 266. Fun game.

[@ryburnsjr]

Its all good....one can see what went wrong in your shots..great learning vidieo..we all have off days...maybe if whittle down your ball collection and concentrate on the few and really understand the ball you are using at the time and what to expect as the alley dries out..love your vids and your attitude.😀😀😀🎳🎳🎳🎳🎳🎳🎳🎳

[@shaggyirl]

With Tim and his bowling style how can is he not breaking his fingers every shot

[@jasonmcquinn6601]

I admit to never having seen a 2 handed bowler till I got back into bowling about a year or so ago. Why do you want to shoot 2 handed vs the traditional 1 handed you are used to? What benefits do you gain with it? Is it easier to do vs one handed?

[@s1l3nc3r3]

Benefits, you get more pin action so you have a slightly higher strike percentage. This is cause it's easier to get for Rev's in your throw vs 1 handed. You also put less stress on other parts(wrist and elbow) vs 1 handed, but at the same time you're increasing the stress on other parts. 1 handed bowlers normally have a higher spare percentage than 2 hander bowlers. But it mainly comes down to how comfortable you able to throw the ball with consistency to the pocket.

[@nordattack]

It just seemed that every ball you tried pretty much did the same thing, got up the lane and flipped like crazy. This is exactly what you do not want on sport shots. Backend reaction is built into the pattern, you need to control that pattern with a ball that reads earlier and is smooth and controlled, something that lets you go straighter up the lane. This is why the pros will use urethane when the lane is super flippy and once they carry it down go to a strong early resin to take advantage of the control the carry down creates. I would consider some less flippy balls with smoother, earlier layouts.

[@kman88wag]

I don't even own a spare ball. Break your wrist and you can throw any ball straight. I'm known as "One ball Larry" in league and my name isn't Larry. 😂

[@Eric42RandomVideos]

I’ve always wondered how well do you have to bowl at a regional to bowl on the national tour with chances to make tv? And how do you qualify for a regional

[@SirJoelsuf1]

There isn't much of a difference between throwing it really well at a regional and throwing it really well at a national tournament. It all depends on the field and the environment. There have been tournaments where as low as a 205 average makes match play and there have been tournaments where you need to average over 220 just to cash. As far as "qualifying" for a regional, I think all you need is a 200+ average across at least 36 games during the previous season. I've averaged 205 or so for the last decade or so but this year I changed things up and now only average 194. So in order for me to bowl in a regional next season, I would need to average 200+ across at least 36 games before the end of the season (Second or third week of August I believe).

[@220vlogs]

I think you need to be able to consistently win at regional tournaments to have a shot at making a tv show. The national guys are miles better than the regional guys. Darren has 10+ regional titles and has a tough time out there

[@Eric42RandomVideos]

@@SirJoelsuf1 thanks bro super helpful I appreciate it

[@Eric42RandomVideos]

@@220vlogs if you win a regional does that qualify you to bowl at any national tourney?

[@joshuab1707]

What if you shot your spares one handed like Osku Palermaa used to? Just keep a pitch black or plastic ball with a thumb in it. Also, you can show me slowmos of Tim Cagle all day, and I'd still have no clue how he does it.

[@s1l3nc3r3]

Honestly I'm surprised Michael isn't throwing his spares 1 handed till he gets used to doing a 2 handed release. Even Darren Tang, when he was learning to throw 2 handed was throwing his spares 1 handed. Note Darren still bowls 1 handed mainly, but he does stupid challenges for his League videos as well his challenge videos for coaching or ball videos.

[@jesseladd6864]

I understand you forget your spare ball, but what makes you not just grab a plastic ball off the shelf with a 16 stamped on the side

For me, a already invested viewer, I think you are trying too hard. I just wanna see you bowl and know how you did and see the Vlog because it's a behind the scenes in your Regional experience. For new viewers i feel like this would have been an odd video for them to come in to no matter what. You did a great job!

[@220vlogs]

I’m new to this two handed thing

[@therealhonestraider7921]

Im just going to say this kindly... Your ball speed is too slow. You can STROKE the ball with a 2 handed approach like you are trying to do. You wont have the ball speed to push the ball down lane. You constantly display this issue while bowling with 2 hands. You are a better 1 handed bowler than you are a 2 handed bowler.
