    I normally throw a 15 lb and was doing some messing arounds at the lanes yesterday and grabbed an 8 pounder for the kicks. I basically tripled my rev rate while not losing a lot of ball speed. Then it would hit the pins and the lack of mass meant a lack of momentum so it just kinda bounced off. It was so weird, but also understandable.

    @bpmgaming3351 Před rokem +5

    Holy sh*t my man, you throw so consistently it's insane. This is coming from a guy who only ever played Junior Varsity bowling for all 4 years of high school. My freshman year tryouts, my average was like 60. I only got on the team because we didn't have enough others try out that year. Even at the end of senior year, I averaged around 110ish. My best game is a 186. I understand the fundamentals and how you're supposed to do it, but with the way I throw, consistency isn't easy for me. My coach said I have a "helicopter arm." When I throw, it's not a straight back and straight up into a handshake position, my arm goes behind the back. He tried to fix it by having a pool cue under my arm and telling me not to drop it, but I couldn't do it. I just had to adapt to it. Funny thing is, I now work with my coach from high school at a factory in town.

    I love watching that 20lb ball go down the lane. It's like a Mack truck speeding down the highway. Slow to get started but once it picks up nothing can stop it. Get it to the pocket and there's no chance of not striking.
    You should join an unsanctioned league and throw this ball, use the 8lb ball for spares. Then maybe you'd be the 250 avg bowler.

    Are they made with safe performance stock and with the same drill holes? I bowl a 180 with a 14 lb plastic, I needed something that could go straight. I would like to know if you can recommend the best bowling ball for 12 lb. I have a terrible pinky finger and a bad back. I used to play with a 15 lb. and had a 198 average. I am still determining to get back to bowling but I have to get a light ball that give me the best reaction for a 12 lb.

    A full rack of pins is 35 lbs. 20 lbs. is 57% of the total weight of a rack of pins. 8 lbs. is only 23%. You could measure your speed and rev rate of each weight to make it very math nerdy cool. Good job 👊

    Quick question but how do you manage to get a bowling ball in 20 pounds when the regulation size is 16 pounds, I watch this video plenty of times and ask myself that question but overall I like how each bowling ball performed considering the 8 pound is 12 pounds lighter than your 20 pounder you throw

    @thepain321 Před rokem +1

    Picking the heaviest ball always seemed like a flex to me. The lighter the ball, the harder and more accurate I can throw it. Can manage a few strikes a game. I need like a kiddie ball. Or candle pin bowling I do well. But a heavy ball I get nowhere. Cant even hold it with my fingers in the holes. I can swing it, get some momentum, but it’s much more effort for far less result. Usually get a gutter from fatigue using heavy ball.

  • @fredhernandez107
    @fredhernandez107 Před rokem +1

    Ever since I started bowling league, the thought of not alternating lanes gives me anxiety.

      Just curious what is the reason for leagues alternating lanes?

      @@ACommentFromCZcams I wasn't entirely sure so I looked it up. For the same reason football or basketball teams switch sides after quarters, for competitive balance. As each lane can have slightly different shots for a number of reasons. .

    Was considering buying an 8lb brunswick twist, after watching this might have to reconsider getting a heavier ball

    The ultimate arsenal: 20lb for first ball, 8lb for spares.

    Can you recreate this video with someone who plays with an 8 pounder? I feel like it’ll yield better results. Love what you’re doing bro.

    Just curious, I haven't bowled in quite a few years. Did they change the rules? I thought 16 pound was the max weight?
