This show was televised on ESPN. The USBC, PBA, and ESPN own the all the rights, I do not. This upload is for people that don't have that channel available and would like to watch the show.
EJ's father is the head of my high school bowling conference. We were actually supposed to bowl at Oak Lanes today but the match was cancelled. Him and my dad were talking and he's very happy (for lack of better words) and proud of EJ!
DasherMonGo Thanks! (blush) Rob Smallwood was a guy I used to work for about 20 years ago. I'd forgotten about him until now. Yes, very classy performance (and sincere apologies) TOM Smallwood!
Thanks for uploading, bowling simply is not shown on TV where I live. I thought the cheerleaders and mascot in the beginning were amusing and cringeworthy at the same time.
E.J. is really coming to his own after his first hiccups in TV appearances. Now he is a major champion. Jesper is one scary monster this season, but with this late surge, I think the Player of the Year award should go to E.J. Anyway, it will be close. And I don't know who makes the roster for the USA Weber Cup team, but if E.J. is not in there next year, they're plain crazy!
oh man EJ just sold me on the chronic paranoia. need a benchmark ball and am a little speed dominant. Was just gonna stick with something from storm but have been wanting to try a Motiv ball for a while
They're repeating this show today, New Year's Day. What's with the horrible camera shot? The high angle and overhanging panel cuts off the tops of the pins.
It's just like golfers who are 130lbs and can drive the ball 400 yards. It's all about the whipping motion of a golf swing or the arm/wrist in releasing the ball. Most people never learn this skill.
im a house bowler i average 220 i understand its way different out here but can i ask something when people leave washouts with head pin i know if i move 3 boards right and throw strike bowl its automatic...like 5 - 7 split is 3 boards right...why do the pros not do that and try to throw direct?????????????? like specifically smallwood at 17:50??
The rules you apply in a house shot are constant. On sport patterns moving 3 boards right might yield different results in each pattern so they prefer straight to take the pattern diferences out of play.
I wouldnt say its over, hes made 5 of the last 8 shows. Yes hes not winning every show anymore but no one wins forever. Tommy Jones had a a similar run in the mid 2000's along with wes malot. Or even Chris Barnes, he dominated 2000-2011ish making tons of shows, just because hes not winning every single time out doesnt mean his era is done. Once belmo figures out his stuggles on tv hell be back.
ball companies pay too much money. It creates a big disadvantage for those who enter event and do not have ball reps. being able to make own moves should be part of it and talking to reps btwn shots is sort of absurd.
Did that 10 pin ever go to jail for the highway robbery it committed against Simonsen in the tenth frame?? Such a ballsy move to change balls and still execute a perfect shot when the match rested on it.
That and two handed bowling and one handed bowling should be categorized differently...i fuck around and average 215+ two handed for fun on house patterns. It's clearly an advantage with 2, make it two different sports please. Or at least two different tournaments.
Michael Guest it's still bowling just different techniques would they make different baseball championships for pitchers who pitch side arm and for people who pitch regularly
This dude really just used house patterns as an argument 🤣🤣🤣 yeah ok. I bet you don't even crack 150 on sport patterns. If two handed bowling is such an advantage, then why doesn't every pro do it?
Belmonte will win a major in 2017. Yes, I said it. His shotmaking and posting at the foul line looks like the PoY Belmo we all know. He made really good shots this telecast, but Smallwood was simply just on fire.
I feel like Belmo is not mentally where he needs to be to win tournaments. I am not happy to admit this, but it is the truth as I see it. I can tell you, this PBA (stepladder finals) TV-show was not the only one Belmo was below his level this year. He just needs to figure that mental part out, be more consistent on TV, and good things will happen. The shot-making skills certainly are there.
What do you mean? The hook? Or the guys who bowl with the 2 hander style or the no thumb style? Everyone has their own style of bowling. If the way you bowl gets you strikes, stick with that. Don't let anyone say you're bowling wrong, there's no wrong way to bowl. Just don't clench your thumb, that'll give you a sore thumb :P
Hooking it allows the ball to come in at an angle. It helps mix up the pins to get more strikes. The ball also deflects after hitting the headpin. The angled entry helps to neutralize it.
If you throw it straight the ball wouldn't hit at the right angle. Your ball goes through the two front pins and if it hits right it will drive through and knock them into eachother at a specific angle. You must not bowl much. It's good to ask questions though. :)
Americans are so very rude. Before his opponent has even begun his final frame he grabs the trophy and begins celebrating! How about a little dignity and decorum?
Ivan Sanders if it were anyone else I could understand but the kid had given it so many tries on tv to win a title and major and the pins either don't wanna go down, his opponents are kicking him in the balls and getting lucky or he throws one bad shot and can't recover. If I kept failing like that over and over and over again I would get beyond excited if after all those tries my hard work finally paid off. But that's just me
great run for Tom Smallwood. Good to see him making shows again.
Yeah, I hope to see him more.
lol I don't know why but I just love watching bowling.
this championship was on my birthday! i turned 17 :) congrats ej tackett !!
EJ's father is the head of my high school bowling conference. We were actually supposed to bowl at Oak Lanes today but the match was cancelled. Him and my dad were talking and he's very happy (for lack of better words) and proud of EJ!
I cried a little at the end. That was so sweet from EJ's father. :')
Thank you very much for the upload !! Greatly appreciated .... :)
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for the upload! Really appreciate it
thank you for uploading this video
Thank you so very much
Damn, I was rooting for Smallwood. I identify with him as I am close to him in age and like him I lost my job.
Great win for EJ, and a very classy performance by Rob Smallwood. All in all, a great day for bowling.
DasherMonGo Thanks! (blush) Rob Smallwood was a guy I used to work for about 20 years ago. I'd forgotten about him until now.

Thanks for your efforts again:)

Well deserved, what an athlete

"That wasn't the headpin that took out the 10, what was that?" Well, after replaying it enough times, it's confirmed that was the 5 pin.
And it got both halves of that potential 7-10

oh man EJ just sold me on the chronic paranoia. need a benchmark ball and am a little speed dominant. Was just gonna stick with something from storm but have been wanting to try a Motiv ball for a while
Note the Rico layout, smoothing it out. That's a strong piece! Sure looked sweet, though!
great job EJ

Im not crying. You're crying.
Looks like EJ finally learned to slow down when needed
God damn. Took you long enough bos! Haha thanks though
thx!
e.j is not my favorite but when he goes to his dad it showed he is a good man. :)
i wish i could see jason and simonsen bowl againast each other becuase they both bowl two hand
17:52 exactly why i wouldnt be allowed on tv xD itd be worst than "dammit" though
They're repeating this show today, New Year's Day. What's with the horrible camera shot? The high angle and overhanging panel cuts off the tops of the pins.
thats exactly what im saying
Cousin, let's go bowling.
GeneralsAlert Flashbacks*
EJ is a stick of dynamite. Amazingly powerful for a skinny guy!
It's just like golfers who are 130lbs and can drive the ball 400 yards. It's all about the whipping motion of a golf swing or the arm/wrist in releasing the ball. Most people never learn this skill.
E.J. is also a scratch golfer. Went to college on a golf scholarship.
I like how everybody clapps before the ball hits and he doesnt even get a strike, dont celebrate too early ;)
first shot 6:46
When smallwood has 8 strikes in a row a little fist pump, watch out don’t overreact to much
*62 games? I bowl 3 games in league and my body quits working.*
Sunday Gunday Channel .one day last year In the youth mi state tournament I had to bowl 6 game back to back
iwant aps4 *I did a city tourney where I did 6 games back to back and eventually developed a migraine towards the end of it ha.*
Smallwood cold as fuck
I love bowling

i Luv bowling
me more
Simonson's shot looks not stable but still good
will you upload the animal pattern finals?
odellus if they show on TV, yes
okay cool, thank you very much.
Hehe smallwood hehe
Phlorian H tehe
GOAT
What was the ball he was throwing dom
Track Mako
what ball was smallwood throwing
Errick Thomas Radical Rack Attack Solid
The camera angle is terrible.
The bevy of cheerleader's make's it neat!!
JASON BUTZ damn right
Why is Smallwood hitting the holes on the lane? Don't they know how to drill for a full roller?
james borg It is drilled for a full roller when he's trying to stay up the back of the ball it's going to clip the thumb hole
It's intentional you moron, do you not think that wasn't already accounted for?
The drilling only accounts for how the ball responds down lane, not how he rolls it out of his hands. Think before you say something.
There is a proper drill for a full roller. A ball should never track over any holes.
The 5 pin was the messenger
Is it just me or are the lanes a bit small
It’s just you
I think it's safe to say the "Belmont era" is finally over
I'm so glad EJ won his major here too! :)
Yeah, I like him but he is really inconsistent now.
Same, Fluffyguy. I think Belmo has some mental issues on TV this year, in the same way E.J. Tackett had before this year in winning tournaments.
I wouldnt say its over, hes made 5 of the last 8 shows. Yes hes not winning every show anymore but no one wins forever. Tommy Jones had a a similar run in the mid 2000's along with wes malot. Or even Chris Barnes, he dominated 2000-2011ish making tons of shows, just because hes not winning every single time out doesnt mean his era is done. Once belmo figures out his stuggles on tv hell be back.
If you don't like Belmo you better quit watching bowling like right now. He ain't through.
I want to honestly know why the hell are the ball reps there. These guys are the best but the world let them make there own moves
ball companies pay too much money. It creates a big disadvantage for those who enter event and do not have ball reps. being able to make own moves should be part of it and talking to reps btwn shots is sort of absurd.
What you are saying slmrcs could be called a negative externality.
Did that 10 pin ever go to jail for the highway robbery it committed against Simonsen in the tenth frame?? Such a ballsy move to change balls and still execute a perfect shot when the match rested on it.
Ball was a bit late, not sure where the robbery part comes in. It was a great shot, but the ball didn't face up quite ideally.
@@gunz300 if it was a great shot, why was it a bit late?
+Ronald Lewis You don't understand much about bowling.
@@gunz300 but you do... I know that "great shots" push ten in the pit. That was a good attempt, but not a great shot.
60 fps! nice!
smallwood true champ

Michael Guest So you're saying two-handed bowling is better than one-handed?
And this video clearly shows that someone can keep up with 2 handed people.

good
wht is the point of that one random ass cheerleader?! lmao
i have ej tackets ball.
zKroniicJosh Gaming what ball is it
That would be a Chronic Paranoia :)
GHOST JACKAL!
I WANT THANKS MOTIV!
They just officially announced it
Congrats Ej
11:57
yep. chronic paranoia.
sup
smallwood got lucky in this game he didn't even play well
Belmonte can't win anything this year lol
Alwin Bathan It'll come. Like him or otherwise, the guy can bowl.

are they supposed to bowl like that or is that just the way to get a strike?
What do you mean? The hook? Or the guys who bowl with the 2 hander style or the no thumb style?
Everyone has their own style of bowling. If the way you bowl gets you strikes, stick with that. Don't let anyone say you're bowling wrong, there's no wrong way to bowl. Just don't clench your thumb, that'll give you a sore thumb :P
i mean like how come they spin it down the side and get it to hook in right at the end? why not just throw it straight
Hooking it allows the ball to come in at an angle. It helps mix up the pins to get more strikes. The ball also deflects after hitting the headpin. The angled entry helps to neutralize it.
If you throw it straight the ball wouldn't hit at the right angle. Your ball goes through the two front pins and if it hits right it will drive through and knock them into eachother at a specific angle. You must not bowl much. It's good to ask questions though. :)
@@BostonSecret45 some do throw straight. some hook it.
Whats with all the two handed delivery and screwed up ball drilling? Geez! Glad to see EJ win!
Alan Lane it's a unique type of bowling called shovel
YoutubSUCKZ so Anthony simonsen and Jason Belmonte are gay????
@@djdjsjdhbd8092 the same as one handed just comes off a second or two later.
스몰우드는 뭐 잘쳐헤먹었나

Why are you generalizing to Americans? That's kind of crappy, don't you think?
Ivan Sanders Yet generalizing an entire population over a small action of one person isn't rude? You are one idiot.
Not Americans, EJ is a dick.
fuck you Ivan. how's that for American?
I can bowl better then these chumps
Fuck you Roman! XD
No you can't.
Are you on the PBA Tour? Oh wait no you're not, so shut your mouth kid.
Jah Boi Dont be such a bitch about it. Its a joke
Stupid ass
THANKS!!!
