    Nick Pate is a good dude. There were several shots where you can see him trying to use his body english to get the shots to fall for his friend that he knew was having a rough go of it.

    You guys really got hosed with the ball banning timing. Really feel for you. You're a great bowler, nice to see you making the most of it with the straight bowling, looks like Frankie ended up doing the same. At least its good to know that is an option. Hang in there.

    • @gavinwinkler1147
      @gavinwinkler1147 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Frankie was able to play straight because his rev rate is really low, so he was hooking it, just not from where everyone else was due to how he plays. He's always much further right than anyone else

    Mad respect to you Darren. I hope you provide a debrief of what changes in your physical/mental game and/or equipment if any are going to be implemented as a result of this tournament. I'm not going to lie I'm looking forward to another series of League Night videos! LOL!

    Just subscribed.
    I took 30 years off league bowling while I worked 2 jobs and raised my kids. Used to carry 195 throwing a red Brunswick Edge and a Columbia White Dot for spares.
    You young guys have revolutionized the game and made it interesting again, even for an old timer like me. My wife and I just joined a duo anytimers league. I bought a used Game Break to practice with and a new Purple Hammer to have some urethane in the bag. Looks like I’m gonna be around 175 until I can learn to make spares again and start hitting it hard enough to stop leaving the soft 10.
    Go get ‘em Darren! Looking for to May - League Season 2022

    Outstanding!!! At 16 I was a ranked, 205 bowler in Canada. Then real life hit and due to health issues I could no longer compete. I was crushed. I loved the game where you played straight. It can be a winning strategy, but the release point must be spot on every time.

    Suggestion for 4 or 5 weeks of challenges on League night.
    Week 1 - must stay throwing right of 2nd arrow
    Week 2 - try to stay between 2nd & 3rd arrow
    Week 3 - continue moving over 1 arrow left... you'll get the point

    I was bowling a similar situation today... Couldn't get the ball to go right. Kept hitting Brooklyn strikes or leaving the 5 pin and a ton of splits.. A couple I converted and was very proud of... Kept moving left until a group of teens came in and got the two lanes to my left. They had NO bowling etiquette, so had to stop lofting the gutter.

    Hey man try this… bring your target closer to you near the dots between arrows and foul line, it will change the angle just enough so the ball will get out a lil bit. When I do this it requires an acknowledgment of getting through the shot a lil quicker. 🤷🏻‍♂️ worth a shot.

      In my sport league, sometimes by game 3 we all end up pretty lost. Plastic down the middle is surprisingly good at avoiding tough spares so long as you hit one of the pockets.

    WOW Darren Tang it was NO dought about that straight ball strike once its there all pins crash down all at once. I stand 2 boards from the 2nd to last dot on the left & focus on the board that's EYE focus on the 25th board dot at the foul line to release my ball just the other side of that 25th dot at the foul line to hit the pins on the left of head pin shot. hardy to no loft today is 4-6-22. the only reason to loft a ball is to take away hook. I throw a straight ball so NO loft is ever needed.

    WOW! Darren Tang you throw some GREAT straight balls BUT you bowled like I still do throwing the straight ball to the left & to the right of the head pin for a GREAT shot both sides of the head pin & 1 down the center but we throw it hard enough so it don't leave a NASY split most of the time. I've had the front 8 two times so far within a year of me starting bowling again since I stopped in April of 2007 then started back up in May 2021 almost a year now. another words I'm still a LUCK ball bowler even with a straight ball! until I can keep my ball from crossing over a lot of the time I am a lucky shot bowler! I stand to the far left of middle dot & my straight ball strike is on the left side of the pins, its a lucky ass hell ball if it hits to the right of the pins that is a Brooklyn strike to me! you saw how the pins go down = they all go down all at once that's a precise shot. anything less then that is a LUCKY shot strike. I use a fun ball plastics 10lb & they go do just like yours did some of the time. I throw at 16 MPH most of the time. my strikes looks just like your did! even with a 10lb over your what 15 or 16lb? today is 4-6-22 & this Sunday I will be throwing my starlight ball strike for the first 10 games then I will switch to my no thumb 10 lb fun ball as a hook ball to the pocket. I'll switch after either 10 games or 1 hour of my 2 hours of bowling this Sunday.

    @MickeysCorner ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I believe it is possible to average high scores if you threw a powerful straight all. Bowling balls are designed to hook, so anyone who spends time in the game practices with a hook approach, yet when a straight ball hits the pocket at high speed, it is like an nuke bomb. Someone who spends years throwing that style can average 230-250. Just nobody has ever tried it.
