Alot of people dont understand is that you need a 200 avg on Sport shot, not house shot.
This video needs to be shown on repeat in all bowling centers. Lots of league bowlers think that if they can average x amount for a season, they can go pro. They have no idea.
if you can average 240+, you may have a chance
@@greenmachine6146 so ur saying my 120 average isnt good enuff :(
@@mylastaccount8328 nah, typically it is a 200 or more average over a set period of games
i’m 15 and got a 207. i think im good. also i don’t even have more than one ball
@@matthewcrawford2940 get a bowling app and track your spare % rate. This past week, I bowled 681 and had a 100% conversion rate for the league night. I'm no where near PBA level. Learn to use your strike ball to make spares which means you will have to learn to roll it straight. You will get a lot better faster instead of having 4-8 balls you use across a 3 game league night I see some people do. We got one guy in league who I think goes through 10 bowling balls and doesn't break 600 LOL!
Thank you for this video. The biggest question I wanted answered. It’s not easy to train 6 hours a day and have a full time job and a club that doesn’t have that much time to let you train. Living in a country where bowling isn’t even a sport that’s thought about adds to all these challenges.
Very good first video with the Country Boy! A very solid bowler, hope he brings Radical a long awaited victory!
My current off league average is 218 I'm 22. I train nearly every chance I get. Certified leagues are starting soon at the local house I bowl at excited to see where my career goes helpful video.
A famous Swedish down hill skiing guy was asked by some journalist about what he did to get so lucky. He said something in the line of:
"Luck? I don't know much about luck, but I know that the more I practice the more lucky I am."
LUCK- Laboring Under Correct Knowledge
I already starting to do ALOT of what is required to be a pro switch revs tilt rotation. But I don't practice as much as I should. Plus I bowl at milwaukie bowl home of Dave husted
as a 17 year old who averages like 170 i love bowling i bowl like 1 time at least every 2 days struggling jus to finish high school but like i have high hopes and commitment for bowling in a long run
goodluck 🙏
Hey Phil, excellent Caddyshack reference. What's wrong with lumber? I own two lumberyards.
I bowl like 15-25 hours a week. I know it's going to take a lot of time consumed to get to the tour level. The time definitely isn't in vain though. Bowling eleven weeks and now averaging around 170. Averaged 202.33 at my last league run. It would have been more but slippery fingers in the second game cause premature release and bad shots. I taped around the fingers to prevent the issue. I got another strike and then tape came off. Even tape didn't want to stick to me. It's getting to the point that hitting over 200 a couple of times a week isn't much of a surprise anymore, and bowling between 170 and 190 is expected.
I don't watch any sports, not football, baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey, ... Except the PBA Tour which I have always watched since 1979. The reason I like pro bowling is being a serious bowler I can relate to it and I respect the players.
Pro bowlers don't get paid enough so they mainly do it for the excitement of competition and possible glory. Most pro bowlers aren't egotistical overpaid athletes, they are just really good bowlers. We have really good bowlers on our league, some average over 240, and one finished 2nd in a PBA event last year. Our best bowlers might be competitive on the PBA Tour but they have jobs and family that preclude participation except for once in a while. I see the primary benefit for bowlers being on the PBA Tour as giving them popularity so they can establish a successful pro shop with lots of customers.
At the end of last year my average was 160 I’m not bowling this year but may be next year
A high average and a sponsor. There you go.
Cool video talk to tech bowling
Ha !! . what does it take? .. a whole lot more than what I have, that is for sure!
200 avg on a sport shot, NOT house shot folks. lol
You can have a 200 average on house shot to have a PBA membership. Doesnt mean you'll necessarily win anything though
It’s 190 on sport shot. It actually is 200 on house shot
It's simple to be a pro bowler. You have to simply find a place to practice on the style of shot the PBA puts out week in and week out. They have some fancy names but there is one thing they all have in common. You have to project the ball past the end of the pattern to make the ball do what you want it to do. On a house shot you typically throw the ball right as fast as you can get it out there and watch it hook back. Try that on a pro pattern and you get a zero for 10 frames. It's a whole different way to throw the ball.
I enjoy watching the PBA here on you tube, I try to bowl at least every other Saturday or Sunday on my day off. I'm curious if a recreational bowler like me ( 61 yrs old ) that only throws a straight ball, I never hook it, are there any straight bowlers on Tour? I have not seen one. Is it because they achieve a higher rev rate? or is it because of the oil patterns the Pro Tour uses?? Can a straight bowler succeed on Tour if they average like 220 on house lanes??
@@StuG-pr9tf WEll I haven't seen any "straight bowlers", but I have seen them throw patterns where they throw basically straight.
They implied but forgot to mention: be young, be in shape. If you're 40 and/or out of shape, you simply won't do well over the 28 games in 2 days
If you're 40, you might as well wait 10 more years and hit the Senior tour lol
Or you cash as a non-member, agreeing to join the PBA.
I think RR will win again using Radical equipment.
You also need money to make money
At the bare minimum, you have to make all of your non split spares. Can't be missing any single pin spares. Be prepared to starve until you make a name for yourself. Its like any other career where you have to pay your dues.
My highest game is 236
Has there been any consideration by the PBA to separate (i.e. 2 separate tourneys) between traditional 1 handed bowling vs "unorthodox" 2 handed bowling ?
I used to live in Alabama and the captain of my team told me that they used to do things similar to your idea. They had two types of bowling leagues - some leagues only allowed white people while the other leagues only had black people. Turns out that isn't a good idea, we want all bowlers to bowl together to have a more robust and exciting competition.
@@drwisdom1 This is response is GOLD! Haha
Kudos to you sir! You definitely have gained all of my respect 💯
aww,
Did a 2 handed bowler beat you?
Poor guy
@@drwisdom1 you're reply literally made my day. Thank you sir, God bless.
First, don't quit your day job.
Surprised you’re not even encouraging bad bowlers to sign up for tournaments. More entries more prize money
interview someone who actually makes a living bowling
I love to bowl for fun and im sure the top pros can make a living, But half these guys are overweight and smoke. Now what other sport can you considered a pro and look like that. lol
LOL 99% of these replies have no idea what a sport shot is. Once you get a tour card, your average doesnt mean jack.
Being a pro bowler was my dream as a kid back in the 1990's it wasn't enough money. I did other things. I'm now 45. Better off. Sports aren't everything even the greatest pro bowlers don't make close to 500k per year. It's not worth it to me, better options in life.
Yeah the money isn’t great but I want to work to get there for the competition
To be best you have to beat the best ! Simply bowl with the best 💥💫🎳
