Pro-Am 2007 - The Actual Tournament - Part One

[TheMusicjuice]

why are u falling over like that? i mean its hard to balance sometimes but that was awful balance

[PoliticingRep12]

I hate people like that guy who always run their mouth... Thinks they are the best bowler in the world, for god sakes look at his balance, it is TERRIBLE.

[strongsock]

Lol I hate it when weirdos comes up to you and just start talking about random weird shit. I dont care how old your balls are...or a 7-10 u almost picked up. ......PS: Id be embarrassed to go to a pro am and bowl like most of the people on this video.

[1man1computer]

little kis sucks

[bownguyen316]

that little kid is very impressive

[jstinnett75]

that's so annoying what you do after your follow thru, why do you do that?

[invertkid44]

morons now a days... just run back and grab another ball... how about a breath and keep throwing the same ball? it will slow you down and maybe you will be able to be a bitmore consistant...

[neasesnapper55]

because its probably a strike ball and a spare ball...

[cpbowler4]

One-on-one I say i would beat this guy 237 to 193.

[cpbowler4]

But yea, after I saw him throw his first ball, it was really easy to tell he wasn't one of the pros in this pro-am, not that I would be. But people walking by would think I am.

[cpbowler4]

what i mean is this guy needs to take his time more, work on his form and mostly his follow through.

[cpbowler4]

man u fucking suck.

[monsterbowler]

just because you don't like someone's style don't give you the right to be an asshole. You may have been lucky to have been born able to bowl 300 when your mother shat you out, but some of us have to work to be good. In the meantime we've also picked up respect and manners. why not post some footage of yourself and let someone who has been doing this longer than you've been around critique you. until you do that, keep your mouth shut.

[BowlerScott]

hahaha! this was a great comment

[pmpcustoms]

what are you doing at the end of every shot?

stop it

[bowlchamp411]

how do you get in the pro am

[monsterbowler]

As for the equipment, it may turn out that you have to play the lane straighter, but if you're able to stay strong with a good knee bend, you're going to be able to utilize what equipment you do have. Stay within yourself. Don't worry about how many boards you cover in a shot. As long as I knock over more pins than the cranker I'm bowling against, I'm happy.

Hope this helps.

Nice video!

[monsterbowler]

just my 2 cents on this as a lefty as well, if you stay square with your shoulder up level, you're going to be able to generate better power and increase your accuracy. It's all about leverage and timing. Watch some vids of Steve Cook. He's one of the first real "power" bowlers and a lefty to boot.

You appear to have a pretty tall frame so I think he'd be a good one to study since he was 6'6"ish.

[BNSF14]

Well has it worked? Another thing I noticed you do you fall way ocver the shot before you realease the ball. Slow down don't run to the line and be nice and smooth. You want to have an oily smooth swing.

[BNSF14]

you need to take your time and think of your shot and not just get up there and throw the ball and expect to strike everytime!!! on tip i always tell new bowlers think of the shot and not how big a hook you can throw. always visualize your movements and your timing. always slide then realease you will see a dramatic improvement!

[dcbandnerd]

Cool video. I wish they'd open a Brunswick center near my place.

[UltimateOxyClean]

the falling over really isn't hurting you all that much. the fact that your shoulder is that low all the way through your backswing on the other hand, is a pretty big problem for consistency. also, you should have been down and in throughout these games. there was no reason for you to swing the ball even a single board- you don't throw enough ball for it to recover with enough energy to kick out the 7.

[Bowler4Ever]

Well the reason there's a lack of energy is because my equipment is just so old they can't stand today's oil. I have to hit the pocket perfectly to get a strike most of the time.

[Pate08]

Its not the balls, its you.

[dcbandnerd]

2:02

YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH...

love it! :-D

[sanchez180]

Quit falling over your shot. Your entry angle into the pocket is too light, thats why you keep leaving the 7 pin

[florantesrc]

very amateur video handler, next be sure to edit first. thanks.

[Wolfman12395]

THANKS A LOT!

[mrpba1807]

ur boaring to me.

[babenes]

Need to learn to post your shots instead of falling off the the left. Porbally due to your timming. Slow down your feet a bit.

[mjhbkfan]

yea you have horrible timing

[chuckswagongang]

lefties ftw

[Vulture629]

Why is a kid in the Pro-am anyways? I thought Pro-am was USBC sanctioned I didn't know YABA sanctioned it too...

[wtchinuz]

he could have dropped is youth eligibility but that would be a bad thing lol but he could have

[hiervince]

oh yeah did you know that were both lefties. its true!

[hiervince]

did you know im just a kid im only 9 yeaRS old so please ignorre the age on my profile im not 23 ok .

[sbmrunning]

nice video, don't see the ADHD an earlier poster pointed out, but i did see Mark Roth an earlier poster pointed out! so for that this video gets the +10! wow! talk about a super star bowler! Mark Roth just a lane over from you guys? I mean like DAMN!!!!!!!!!! THATS ALL STAR YOUTUBE STUFF TO ME! THANKS FOR THE POST!WOW!!!! THIS VIDEO ROCKS ALONG WITH THE TOURNAMENT! THANKS

[dontknow33]

Mmmm the kid shown in the video is an awesome bowler...

[jfer1022]

you bowl like a retard with ADHD

[Wolfman12395]

Wow, you are a fucking asshole.

[mrgelato]

lol

[fishy90210]

u need better timing

[mrgelato]

you should try something called balance on your first shot.

[vanni9283]

Wow! Was that a Mark Roth sighting at 3:26!!!

[Bowler4Ever]

He was there and I did bowl with him!

[Wolfman12395]

And I met him! He was a very nice guy! I didn't know that he apparently smokes though...

[Wolfman12395]

Ha, thanks man!!!! :D That pro am was awesome that day!!
