Huge shoutout to Brad. Handled himself so professionally in the face of massive adversity. Could have understandably been mad or upset and shown it, but instead, he held his head up high and showed incredible positivity. With so many kids and young adults watching this content, it sets such an amazing precedent on how to handle yourself when things donât go well. Kudos Brad!
âŒïžâŒïžâŒïž
Brad, despite the outcome, Iâm so impressed with the progress you have made and your attitude about this whole thing. Itâs important to stay positive and believe in yourself. You are an inspiration for many people, including myself. I start bowling league again tomorrow. Looking forward to more Brad and Kyle content.
Brad Miller is a class act. Yes, talented bowler, but more importantly a quality human being. Excellent ambassador of the game.
Watching you around your fellow players it's obvious that you are a respected member of the community! Your contribution to that community isn't limited to your position in the standings. You (and Kyle) are doing a lot more for the sport of bowling than simply competing!

Brad that Outro was incredible. What a great attitude and mindset! Humble, hungry, determined, and optimistic. Keep grinding my man. You're bout to breakthrough in major ways. I believe it. Have faith, dream big, work hard!!
My husband and I are 61 and 62 years old and just started bowling less than 2 years ago. We are now rolling league and having the time of our lives. I want to express my (our) gratitude to you and Kyle for your professionalism and humble spirits that shine through in your videos. We started watching you immediately after we purchased our first ball. We have learned so much from both of you and thoroughly enjoy your approach to instruction for both the experienced and newly learning bowlers. Youâre pleasant to watch and we look forward to every opportunity you give us to learn and simply enjoy your hard work. Iâm sorry about your recent disappointment, but like many others have mentioned, itâs âgoing to happenâ. Thanks so much to you and Kyle. You are a huge asset to the sport!!
Ironically your game honestly looks better than ever. You have been bowling so well. Breaks my heart. Just know we all still support you always.
Facts, the change in his arm swing looks amazing. it's only when he has to perform on a harder pattern that he loses something. đđżđȘđŸđđż
A lot of people view this channel to simply learn how to bowl better. Bradâs approach to this event also teaches everybody how to act and how to handle the game mentally. Athletes in any sport could benefit from paying attention to his approach.
Shout out to you âBald Eagleâ youâre a class act. Love what you and Kyle are doing to further the game. Respect you guys so much for what you and all of the content creators do to keep us loving this game. âKeep living the dreamâ â€
Brad, sorry that you didn't qualify. Love your spirit and drive to be better.
Thanks for letting us come along the journey with you.
Hey Brad, I don't comment on content often. I am compelled to in this case. With the variety of creators and content available to the public; I hope that many of them find you and Kyle. You are such a positive role model. You show an example of how to compete at your very best without losing respect for yourself, your competitors or the game. I'm just a random guy on the 'net but I applaud you and the way you comport yourself. I am sure great things are coming your way because we create our own good fortune and you are doing it the right way. Looking forward to following the journey from a distance. Best to you Brad !
Mannnnnn ..on the real ..you two guys give the most real time real life content I appreciate this personal view of your bowling life sooo much..100% authentic ..cant beat it
Brad, you inspire me to learn and move forward. Your time will come! Thank you!
So đ Brad didnât make it as an exempt. Really nice seeing him bowling, love his style. Hopefully weâll see him still at a lot of tournaments! Just as Kyle đȘđđđŒ
You've handled this with a level of grace and professionalism that should be the gold standard for facing adversity. Not just in bowling, but in life.
I think I speak for really anyone who watches this and say you have my utmost respect.
God bless.
This just breaks my heart for Brad!!đ„șđ
I always hate when the tour decides to lock down the fields like this. The fact that there are about 80 bowlers from this event that will all have to compete for just 1-3 main field spots via the weekly PTQ, is back breaking for those non-exempt bowlers trying to earn their way onto the tour next season. They'll have to pay all the same expenses they normally do, while having the spots they are competing for weekly reduced by 80-90%. It's great for the guys with exemptions, but the PBA is keeping out so many talented guys now, who were able to compete before. It's a real shame. Hope they dump this exempt field nonsense sooner than later.
Lets be real... out of those 80 bowlers, most of them won't travel for the weekly PTQ. The PTQ will get mostly regional guys who live closer that week's tour stop. That's not a bad thing.
The PBA is their own worst enemy. Open up the field to grow the organization.
@@BornIn1500 I was curious, so I went and looked at the PTQs in 2024. There were 5 events with a PTQ. In those 5 PTQs, there were 384 total entries, for 66 total spots.
So 5 PTQs, with an average participation of 77 bowlers, and 13 spots into the main field.
Now I'm not saying the 80 guys who didn't make it in, will travel to every PTQ. Just that the bowlers who attended the Trials are the ones who are talented enough, and dedicated enough to actually be out on tour. When you add in all the guys who didn't attend the Trials, the guys who are very talented, but only really show up when the tour stop is close enough to them on a specific week, you still got nearly 80 bowlers a week. With the new system, instead of there being 13 spots a week up for grabs, there may be none some weeks, and only a couple other weeks. The incentive for all those guys who missed the Tour Trials cut to go out every week there is a PTQ went from "at least possible", to "what's the point". A lot of the guys chasing that dream will see this as the last straw... and that's sad.
@@elex300I understand how you feel, especially if you are trying to bowl PBA events also.
But the time to be a PBA member easily has come and gone. Prior to and maybe a year after 2020, all you needed was a 200 average and money for your entry fee. You could pay your way into a national stop if you wanted.
This was probably a way to bring prestige back to the game. Canât just buy your way into bowling with the best in the world anymore.
I'm sorry but if i have the money, the time off work, and a 220+ average on sport, i should be able to bowl. Period. â@atbsigma
Hell of a dude Brad. Keep your head high and give them hell this year. Stay hungry and use this energy and get that win this year. We believe in you
You did a great job!
Now itâs time to be proud of yourself and what you have done!
And donât forget youâre not alone!
Kyle, denis and the community is by your site and stay with you.
So letâs grow together đȘ
Brad, that outtro is why you are one of my favorite bowlers! Not only are you are great bowler, but the kids I coach can learn so much on how to carry themselves in the highs and the tough spots.
Brad you are a Rockstar!!! So many people are proud of you. You are an inspiration. Never quitting and always persevering... many people believe that's you. Stay strong đȘ enjoy the break and continue to press on. You got this!đ. We love ya man!!!

I liked this editing style A LOT. Please keep the videos coming, we're here to watch them all!
You and the Code-man (Cody Shoemaker) were SO CLOSE this week! Darn! Excellent effort from BOTH you guys! đ
Love to watch Cody bowl.
Hang in there Brad! Still rooting for you here in Wentzvile MO. Best of luck!
Your a true professional Brad , I appreciate your attitude and your outlook , keep a good mindset , all will come into place this coming year .
I watch you and Kyle for not only bowling knowledge, but more importantly.......positive thinking and how to manage the difficulty of competition. I just turned 50 and I'm looking forward to getting my card and putting myself out there in tournaments. Am I really good and ready to kill it? No. Do I have the passion to get better and be the best version of myself? Absolutely. And with your positive content and humility in all your endeavors, I feel way more excited and ready. Thank you for just being you and putting yourselves out there for us!!
Brad is a class act. So much to learn from him about bowling and life in general. Victory creates egos.. defeat builds characters
Awesome content Brad & Kyle! Brad, you are one hell of a fighter and role model. Onto the next one!
Brad, so sorry you did not get in. However, I look forward to seeing you in the coming season. Keep going, you are an ideal to follow.
Great bowling, Brad! Wish you had made top 12 but happy to see the sportsmanship and can't wait to see what you do this season!
Heartbreaking and inspiring all at once!! You're a future Hall of Famer for your social media work. 100% certain!
Keep on truckin' Brad, hopefully a lot better days ahead.....
Brad you are Mr. Cool. You are a class act. Looking forward to seeing you bank many pba trophies. đȘđŒ
Chin up Brad you did yourself proud and I'm sure you will bounce back in no time soon.
It's been brutal on the lanes and next season a whole new way to look forward to.
Brad
God bless you, Brad! I hope you continue to stay positive, your time is coming.
We all appreciate you letting us into your world and seeing the trials and tribulations you go through.
Brad....you are one of the classiest and most likable people. It's inconceivable to me what it takes to make the cut of the most participated in sport....the odds are astronomical. Keep the faith....but more importantly stay your good self!
This grind right here is why your going to win one of them majors next year. Iâm betting on you absolutely
Brad you are an amazing human being. In your dark moment you can still be so unselfish and be happy for the other bowlers. Wow! You have great Karma and God himself will order your futures steps to success. I am very proud of you pal.
Brad, you are winning in life. Your a major champion with sportsmanship and attitude.
I was watching all week. and rooting for Brad. Sorry the last 2 days did not as good as he wanted. Hope he makes a PDQ next year and then wins soon.
Keep moving forward Brad! Youâre one of the good ones growing the game of bowling. St Louis strong baby!
Great commentary at the ~ 13:30 mark. Brad's a great, and more importantly authentic guy. BOL this year Brad and Kyle.
Brad, your ability to stay positive on the face of such adversity is inspiring
Well done. Your perseverance and attitude are inspiring.
Tough road, but your attitude and demeanor are incredibly impressive. Keep grinding and this will be a stepping stone to better things. Much love, always enjoy the content!
Head up Brad! You've become one of my CZcams favorites. You are an incredible person and bowler. You had a great year. Keep reaching for your dream.
You're a gentleman, Brad. Best of luck for the Majors and PTQs !
This is a tough game, Brad you gave it your all, thatâs all you can do.
Brad is the individual I admire most and pattern my game after. I will continue to watch the channel and support it, and look forward to seeing you both in a major again in the near future. Rock on!
I'm calling it, Brad gets a title this coming season.
Keep on Keeping on Brad
I really enjoy your content, so keep it up. Brad, I am thoroughly impressed by your positive attitude even though I'm sure you are steaming inside. Keep grinding! Love that Kyle came for the week to support you and was very positive and optimistic. Also, let's not forget the production guy behind the camera, great job Dennis!
Good luck in whatever you decide to do in the future my man. You've lived the dream and should have no regrets. It's that tough out there and I know after a while it's hard to justify the effort.
You are an incredible ambassador for this game that we all love. You have an amazing attitude! I really wish more players would have the kind of attitude you exude. I know how tough this game is and how difficult it is to put so much hard work in and it comes down to 48 grueling games for only 12 spots. I truly wish you the best going forward and I will be rooting for you to get into the Majors and hopefully come away with a title!
You deserve to be on Tour full time because the Tour needs more players with your character.
Best of luck!
Yoooo I NEVER rooted for anyone as hard as I did for Brad when he went up against the Mount Rushmore of current bowlers in that stepladder finals (Tackett, Simo, Belmo). Iâd love nothing more than to see Brad win one or more next year! Much respect my man.
Keep grindin' man! We love watching you.
Luv ya lil bro, from one Miller to another Miller! You've changed your game, and it's just a matter of time for the wins!!!
Bowlers are the best.. so little money for so much effort talent and stress⊠yet they are all like a big family helping each other cheering on the competition and staying humble.. these are the morals I wish kids looked up too, not the nfl block head with dreads doing coke off hooker navels on Saturdays and all the while âŠrich af.. and they are the idols? Pffff what a backwards world.. Brad you are my kidâs favorite player and I donât follow bowling or any sports but my boy loves it and I support him and his dream..âIâm going to be a PBA star like Bradâ he says . I am proud he picked you to look up too, your a good man and role model. Thank you!!
Keep doing what youâre doing youâll be there. I seen a lot of improvement on your game thatâs why Iâm even a bigger fan of you.
We appreciate you Brad! You and Kyle are inspiring to so many!
Thanks for sharing the insight on what it takes! You deserve much respect!
Hang in there Brad, your greatness will one day show. Great bowlers like you never give upâŠ.. cheers
I am still learning from the Brad and Kyle pair with their great videos and information they provide for us to improve our game personally with so many small details. Brad you are simply an amazing bowler and keep your head up, you have the drive and perseverance to get to that goal with being on the tour. I believe in you like we all do!!! Keep it up Brad!!!
Use this as fuel to the fire Brad! And how about Kyle coming out being Bradâs hype man! Letâs keep the like train going on this video
Great week Brad! Handled yourself as a professional. Its obvious all the guys look up to you and think you're a talented bowler and an even better human being! Keep the axe to the grinder. Hard work pays off!
You are an absolutely amazing bowler so sorry you did not get into the top 12 it would have been amazing to watch you bowl all the pba events. I really hope you make all the PTQ s you try for
Shout out to Brad. You are a true pro and all around good guy. LU proud. Class of 2003.
Proud of you on your outlook. Best of luck. Keep the content coming.
Loved watching this journey Brad. Keep grinding. I certainly feel for you as I'm really struggling trying to make a cut in my local tournament scene. But we can't give up. It'll happen for us eventually. Hopefully I'll see you on the lanes someday when I feel confident enough to bowl a regional.
Was pulling for ya b millz watched closely. Took it well. Your time will come
Great job Brad! You didnât make it but you have certainly grown tremendously. Not only your game but especially in your mental game. Great composure out there. I really liked that you believed in yourself and gave it your very best effort⊠awesome job!
The only thing I would work on in your game Brad is generating just a little more ball speed. Thats it.. I would love to see you starting to work on that. This will help with those pesky 10 pins and those off hits everyone gets except you. Take this time away to build your strength while keeping your form. You have a very strong foundation so building speed will be the icing on the cake in your game. Letâs gets that PBA title!
Well.....SOB. this sucks.....Only direction is up from here. Time to turn this around. Good luck
Love your attitude on this!!!! Keep that heart and keep working! You'll get there!
Damn. I was pulling for a fellow Lindenhood alumni. But you know what. Your videos have taught me a lot and are helping me get back in to bowling after a long long time and I look forward to more.
Great to meet you fellas. Brad - you are an amazing person. And an amazing bowler. But your humanity, humility, resilience, and joy are infectious. You make bowling a far better sport by being in it and helping it grow. Wildly impressed with you this week - on and off the lanes.
As I told you in Dubuque, I have 100% respect for the grind. I know how hard it is and hope this a tough step to better times in the future. Those majors are a great opportunity next year - do what you did in the TOC this year 3-4 times and get that exemption back!
Dude Brad, please go to this tournament again next year. You have what it takes to be on tour if not win a few stops. Love watching you both bowl and teach. We all wanna see you out there and you can do it. Thanks for being transparent and keeping us all a part of it. Wishing you tons of success. Kyle, I wish you tons of success and thank you. Cheers to 2025! CMON!! đȘđ»đȘđ»đ„đ„đ„â€ïž
After watching all of the Tour Trials videos, it seemed like hits that normally would carry, just didn't want to fall for you. Your optimism is astounding and I know you will get things turned around. You will have that magic moment and things will be headed in the right direction.
You gave it your all Brad and you bowled great the whole tournament. You will kill it next season
Pretty cool to see all these comments mirroring your positivity Brad. Learning a lot from watching you bowl and listening to you and Kyle talk about bowling balls. We appreciate all the work you do for no pay!
Brad, man oh man!! your humbleness is contagious. Love your guy's content, you're killing it no matter how you feel right now. I love the fact that you're of the mindset that you are taking positive away from a tough situation, always expanding our mindset. Keep up the great work!
Did anybody see dude hit the pocket and leave a nine ten split wow that's crazy đźđź
Love the message here, Brad, definitely hit home for me as Iâve been grinding to better at the sport I love, golf. Iâve been down on myself for the last couple of years and your words about focusing on the progress rather than the result is extremely encouraging. Thanks for the great content and hope we continue to see you on these vlogs, been a fan for years.
Brad, you're an absolute inspiration for us "more" average type bowlers. I try super hard to pattern my game after yours. I know it's disappointing on a level that I can't possibly understand but I'm pulling for you in the PTQ's and growth of the channel etc.
Absolutely love the realness here. Brad, You Are the MAN! In todayâs world where everybody gets a trophy this is the BEST example of how to handle yourself when things donât go your way. THIS IS LIFE! You donât always get a trophy. Thanks for keeping this so REAL! Kids out there - this is someone you should want to idolize! A True Professional!
Keep working on it. Stay healthy mentally and physically. Keep grinding it out and it will show on the lanes. Until next time, keep it rolling. And thank you for all the content into being chasing perfection.
Way to go at it Brad! When you get the opportunity to bowl this season (because you will), your road tro victory will be so sweet!
Brad, it was so great to watch your journey during this whole thing. While I was bummed that I wonât be watching you on the tour, I was rooting for you the whole time. I was impressed that you kept a great attitude despite that in the end, it wasnât what you were hoping for. I will continue to be in your corner cheering you on in any future adventures.đ
Good week Brad. Loved watching all week.
Should integrate interviews. Would love to see the background of these guys competing!
Man. I just want to say, and not that anything I have to say matters in the grand scheme of things. But here we are.
I just want to say, Brad and Kyle are hands down, bar none, the most genuine and professional bowlers on the tour.
And Brad, you gave it everything you had, you did great man. Though the end result may not have met your expectations, yet you still remained humble in the face of defeat. The confessional at the end of the video was awesome. You're a real one dude.
The way is clear now for you to begin your two-handed journey! It would be a good storyline and create some new goals!
Hang in there Brad I know your Disappointed but for us league bowlers we wish we were as good as you. You and Kyle were the first Bowlers I followed, and I will continue to support you both and I know eventually you'll be exempt.
Hell of an attitude. I commend you Brad, Not an easy way to make a living, very tough physically and mentally!
Still think weâd be better off without a spoiler in the title đ€Šđ»ââïž
Shout out to Brad! I know that was rough knowing you didnt make it and wont be full time this season but you get a solid 4 months off to work and improve your game. Honestly, this could be the most important time off you have ever had. Some people might get down and think this is not for them but this is your time to work hard and put in that Kobe like work behind the scenes and come back with a vengeance. You got this Brad, I know you do. Cant wait to see you back!
