Y'all should have seen him when he was 15. He bowled a sweeper at Forum Bowl in Grand Prairie, TX. He got in all the brackets and won $5,000.00. I was bowling something different there. He was outside waiting for his Mom to pick him up. I said to him, " Your gonna be a star one day!" I knew him from Plano Super Bowl. He, Anthony and Sean Lavery-Spahr use to work there together. Anthony Lavery-Spahr use to work in the Proshop and drill my equipment. I think Dino Castillo owned it but can't remember for sure. The last time I've seen Simo, Who we use to call Little Anthony, I bowled with and against him in a regional in Greenville, TX. He's amazing.
good story, thanks for sharing
simo used to basically live at the pro shop across the road from PSB so it explains why he’s so good
That’s a great story
Great Story & Thank you for Sharing it. I believe that Simo will be the King of PBA, even Belmo has said Anthony Simonsen will dominate the PBA. Thank you again for such a great story
in my junior times i was playing against francois lavoie every tournament and i also had the chance to play a game with parker bohn and patrick girard and brad angelo they were guess for the provincial tournament that was hosted in my familly bowling center that year so after the bowling center closed for custumer we had a small party in the bowling center with them , i can confirm that parker bohn is one of the nicest people in bowling
Loved the behind the scenes stuff, Darren's enthusiasm as a fan, cheering on his mates, also that first minute with them all relaxing in the break room just messing around killing time with Belmo just messing around with them also.
100% this!
Simo is the coolest dude ever. I'm a mechanic in rowlett and I was stuck on some problem with fuses and wiring on a gsx. He sat on FaceTime with me for a good 15 minutes walking me through the problem and how to fix it. Such a down to earth guy.
Love this content! Such a great behind the scenes look and yet in the middle of the action feel!
SIMO made this pattern look like a house shot and we bowled on this pattern at OUR masters this last weekend and he makes it look so completely different it’s insane
OUR?
"at ARE masters"
So confident, yet so wrong.
It’s not bowling if you can’t put your fingers in the holes.
@@TheCAPTturbo oh did I make a tiny grammar mistake you idiots
@@Tcrror there I changed it lil man probably avg 175 with 2 hands f’ing bum
PBA bowlers just vibing gives me life. Love the intro
I love the way you freely talk about your opponents with praise, class, respect and enthusiasm. My son and I have been bowling for just over a year. After my wife & his mother passed away. I figured we could spend more time together and we both enjoyed it. He started to watch your CZcams channel and then he was hooked.Thank you,we are extremely grateful for the sport and we are thankful for moving here to Las Vegas. For what it’s worth we are big fans of you and your style. Good luck and
Stay strong

Man I'm gonna have to watch more of your videos if only for the comment section...lol. I also got a good chuckle out of the title then Belmo is the first person you show. Good stuff man. And Simo is flat rolling it! Good luck man.
We’ll be seeing you bowling for the next title! Believing in you DTang.
That aiming play with the basketball can develop into a new double handed front power release throw. (I saw a special bowler girl doing that throw for an instant power strike). Boom!😊
What a fantastic video to watch with the nail biters. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of the tour life!!
Good stuff! Thank you for sharing!
Great to see all the guys there supporting each other.
Love these kind of videos, keep it up!
845 series. 281 average. Nuts. I don't think I can get to that in 5 games haha. I love what he said after his win. Kimberly asked how he is dominant this year not finishing outside the top 10. With 2 tournament wins. He said I practiced a ton before the season. Now i know you all do but something definitely clicked with him. Anyways the world series is gonna be nuts. Good luck hope to see you on TV a few times Darren!
Listening to you guys talk about Simo mad me laugh out loud! Appreciate the great content
Can't wait to bowl this when I get older! Especially against Russ Oviatt, he's a guy I know and look forward to best in the future!
Volunteered on the low end and by far, the Keven Williams, Simo match was off the charts. Both undefeated, they just threw haymakers at each other. Final was like 730 to 720. In qualifying I watched Simo throw it straight and fast, medium with a little belly and slow hook the entire lane, all in the same game for like a 240.
Your physical game looks very good to me, better than many of the bowlers who are having better years than you in the young season. You are one of the most fluid bowlers to watch, and I particularly enjoy watching you shoot spares. You are one of the very best one handers. If you keep doing what you are doing, you will probably be very successful when you hit the right matches for your game, oil patterns, equipment, and moves. Unfortunately the prize funds are way too low. Keven has excellent form shooting a basketball.
Sick bayside hat !! Maine loves the tang
Nice video. I noticed at the 5 minute mark in the video it was almost 2:30pm and then at the 5 minutes and 15 second mark in the video it was now 2:15pm. Nice editing. lol
ive been watching videos to get better at bowling and have seen a few of kyles videos not knowing how high up he was. nice to see
Have you ever bowled with Bill O'Neil? He was one of my favorite bowlers to watch growing up, and I have one of his jerseys that he signed and an autographed picture that he sent me when I was sick in the hospital as a kid.
Kyle had such a great run this tournament. Was very fun to watch!
That match between Kyle and Chris was epic!
I believe in you!
The Tang's vs Brad and Kyle in a doubles match is what we all want to see
but yooooo belmo with the tekkers !!! ⚽️⚽️⚽️🔥🔥🔥
Darren you should try making the switch to two handed or test it out more and see how you like it.
Cool tech bowling Darren tang
Of course, I'm thinking...what cinema did they get that JBL 4507 LF cabinet speaker from and how did they rig it up there (in the game room, at the beginning of the video)? That is a particle board cabinet and normally not suitable for rigging. Hopefully, it is reinforced at the rig points.
Love that the best bowler in the world was in the mix!
Chris is so smooth with it.
Nobody is better than Earl Anthony RIP.... He was truly the GOAT.
When referring to a two handed bowler do you mean granny style or thumb out , usually every bowler starts their approach holding the ball in both hands
That song 🔥🔥
Go getem❤
Good luck in Milwaukee, man.
IMO this season was the passing of the torch between Belmo and Simo. However EJ might have something to say about that, we’ll see how the rest of the year plays out
I wondered if the EJ wins lit a fire under Simo. It's like he was coasting before and not practicing or trying that hard, but now he's got his win machine cranked on turbo charge.
@@machinethesun9243 Even before the Masters Simo was the only one on EJ’s level. I doubt tjat
E J shot 731 and lost, 688 and 706 to win, and 701 to lose his second match. That's still great bowling.
@@ripvanrevs Yes, and right now I think he’s my player of the year. I just think Simonsen is simply a more talented bowler. I’d say if they played 20 times, Simo would win 11 or 12 times
Given that Belmo won a major this year hard to say that.
EJ Tackett is bowling better than anyone - 225.83 average on PBA shots. yikes
Thank you Norwegian ancestry for giving USA such a good bowling player.
The magenta idol is the best ball I’ve had, Simo’s Arsenal is perfect
Belmo w his fly kicks Shadows 😂
Belmo is probably out there like hold up no no no I am the best in the world
Must have been super slick for two handers to use surface relatively straight up the lane.
Simo is easily tied for my fav 2 hander with Osku Palermaa (ik Osku hasn't won as much as Simo, but I've loved him since the 2014 Japan Cup). He is so accurate, so versatile, and soooooooo entertaining to watch. Like Michael said, he's a mix of Norm, PDW, and Belmo. If I could bowl half as good as Simo, I'd be happy with how far I've come. That being said, I aspire to one day be better than him, so I'm studying this man's every shot
You don't realize it..but you are probably at least half as good as Simo. What would Simo bowl in a league with a house shot? 260? 275? He could throw every ball dead flush into the pocket (which he probably would), and he would be some bad-break ring 10, or high flush ring 9's. So he wouldn't average 300. No one can. One tap and you have a 279. 2 taps, and you're looking at possibly 260 or less. Meanwhile, you can probably bowl 140 with your eyes closed. (I am assuming that you are probably a 200+ average bowler). So, there you go. Simo bowls a 279 and you throw a 150, easily better than HALF as good as him, haha.
@@Ironfangzu While I greatly appreciate the kind words, I beg to differ. I'm not talking about house shots and stuff; anyone can average 230 on a house shot. In an 8 game sport shot tournament, I'd be lucky to shoot 1600. Where as Simo is looking at a minimum of 2000 on a BAD day. I can average 200 on house all I want, but every night I make mistakes: I miss spares, I throw errant shots, I make the wrong adjustments, I ball change after a 230 when I have no reason to (literally happened last night. Game 1 was a 233, and I make a stupid ball change from a UC3 on a house shot to a Gem of all balls, and I shoot 170. Then, after I decide to go back to the UC3, I shoot a 234). Whereas Simo, on the other hand, had a 94% spare accuracy throughout the entire season, which, btw, is better than my DAILY average. He will maybe throw 2-3 bad shots a night, as opposed to my 2-3 bad shots a GAME. So yes, while in theory I am technically "half as good" as him for one game, half as good as him career wise would still mean a major title, and probably about an 80ish% spare game for a season.
kyle got that dawg in him 🤣🤣🤣
845 on that pattern is pretty sick
The way I roll the ball keeps me way inside the ball which gives me more than enough to carry.
I like how everyone is cool 😅😅
From my perspective, Simonsen is the most versatile bowler on tour. Massive career ahead of him
Is an advantage of the 'two-handed' delivery
that the other hand helps to keep the ball in closer to the same position for each roll
more than the traditional 'one-handed' delivery?
The main advantage is the extra power it generates. Most 2 handers are in the 500+ range in revolutions, where only a few one handers are over 500.
Simo's up there man don't sleep
Belmos titles: Am I a joke to you!?!
Simo is definitely a bowler with many tricks up his sleeve.
Jesse!! What music track is that when Chris match played with Simo?
Never mind buddy I found it. Keep rocking your vids.
Long live discord squad !
Kyle bowled his ass off
Agreed
Have to wait and see how the rest of the year plays out first. Definitely the man to beat but Belmo, Tacket will in my opinion have a say in whose the best, not that mine matters much. 😂🤣.
I am going to learn to bowl 2 handed been bowling one handed since I was 5 years old
Deo is a machine...
what layout did Anthony have on that exotic gem
First 💪🏾 love you Darren
Guess I've been in a hole. When did two handed bowling become a thing?
Watching 2 handed bowlers is just amazing. I love the style and looks super professional. It’s hard to learn personally so it takes a LOT of skill!! Also love those messengers Chris Via got. Super satisfying.
Wait is this at thunderbowl?
Someone please tell me why Keven shoots basketballs like a right hander but bowls as a lefty.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Simo will likely be forced to retire before Belmo is done bowling. Simo gets really low on his shots and parallels his back to the floor even sometimes. This is really bad for a couple of reasons. He puts a lot of force into his swings (which is overall good). However, he doesn't raise up off the shot at the end to relieve the pressure this would otherwise exert on the lower back. This will likely result in serious back pain and potential injury over the years if he doesn't work on that part of his game. The good news is that he's relatively young and fairly short for a man. This will help him overcome some of it, however, the writing is on the wall if he continues this way. I wish him all the best and continued success in the future.
Jason Belmonte is obviously the greatest thing to happen to bowling since lane oil. He fathered the style in which Simo uses and has pretty much mastered it. I won't waste the time typing all of Bemo's accolades. However, I doubt there will be anyone else in my lifetime to impact the sport not just in performance and wins but innovation and inventing a style of bowling that's hands down the best performance version of bowling yet.
Anthony Simonsen is as good as he is because he doesn’t let his brain interfere with his shotmaking. It’s a rare gift.
Watch his reaction if it’s 10 in the pit or a stone 8, it’s always the same.
Updated Bowling Ball Arsenal Video?
Simo beat the shit out of me in a final qualifier for Junior Gold about 10 years ago. Dude shot 269 in the final XD....while I shot 190
Is Belmo the sneakers king?
I’m usually against 2 handed bowling but he is clearly the most talented. Huge difference between him and the S. Maldonado type that just dump urethane.
Thinking maldo just dumps urethane is an quite insane thought😂
But why are you against 2 handed bowling?
@@supdawg198 I'm guessing because of guys like Maldonado who "dump" urethane.
From just reading the title, I thought you were going to say Belmo died or something.
I was told to fight the negative people.
The best 2 hander.
What was the red and blue ball Via was using? I saw others using it as well like Darren
Via’s bowling literally matches his personality
facts lol he doesn’t have an uber athletic form like simo, even as a 2 hander he’s smooth and minimalistic
Handsome.
@@Trenny-gb7ep He might be boring but he seems like a really chill, down to earth, humble guy.
EJ would have something to say about that
DTANG VIDEO IDEA: 😅
Can you do or have you done a video explaining the House Bowling?
I gather who's involved mostly, but could you explain it in its entirety? Like, where it started, who is all in it, why is Packy the house bowling channel on CZcams? Is he the creator or what. I need the pieces of the story, lol.
Love your vids. Love the look on the lane you have, release and ball motion is on point. Keep creating content, and I'll be here to consume it 😂
Thanks for the content and the efforts that go into it!
One of the best dont for get! Who's one the most
He is by far one of the greats with all the majors he has won.I am concerned on long time wear and tear on his hip with that low knee bend .I do hope he has a work out regime. He is one of my favorites I hope he's around a long time.
i literally cant tell, are they bowling with drilled bowling balls or not?
This season is simo and ej, they’ll prove me right
Discord Gang
I agree, Simonson is the best in the world.
best two hand you mean,
You mean on the plane?
Belmo in jordan 1s 🔥🥹
When Darren says he doesn’t condone how Simonsen acts what does he mean? I don’t know much about simo. Do people dislike him?
Simo has an attitude issue when he isn't doing well. He was fined a few years ago for breaking equipment during a tournament
How long ago was it that so many great bowlers start using two hands?
Belmo was the first player that I heard of popularize the two handed style. If you do a little research, there was a guy named Chuck Lande who bowled 2 handed in the 80's.
Simo is one of the best in the PBA.
Ok bot
Is Belmo secretly playing for the NBA?
He probably learned it from Chris Paul.
I think he might be on the Australian soccer team.
For a moment there, I thought they were bouncing 6LB bowling balls 🤣
Definitely respect for how good he is. But I think he needs to maintain it for years at that level like Belmo has to be considered the best.
Why did they bowl on half of two pairs? They used 10-11 rather than 11-12.
no ball return in the way?
simo is definitely amazing
odd seeing how many guys using bowling two handed
How the hell do these guy’s bowl 2 handed?
Funny peeps on here
Bowling on the PBA must be quite stressful. I swear at least 75% have bald spots, widows peak, or are basically completely bald. Doesn’t matter, just an observation. Maybe unrelated to bowling also but the grind could have an impact.
Poor diet.
@@binaryanticommunist1882 Not true for the majority. The younger ones work out all the time and knowing a bunch of them personally, it's not pour diet. Unless your Tommy Jones and eat burgers and fries all the time lol
They don't make much money except for the elite few near the top.
