I have zero ideas as to how this ended up in my feed when I know nothing about bowling. But I do know this about bowling after watching this video: Bowling trash talk is on another level.
Haha... I actually had someone tell me there isn't enough oil on his lane yesterday (24mil house shot) with a house ball... So, I whipped up a 52ft pattern with 35mils.... Watched his ball go down the lane at 24mph and he says "yea, 24mph is about where it should be if it's oiled right..." I took a deep breath and said "good deal"..
The lot of oil pattern for the second just looks like the pattern at my local Bowlero 💀💀💀 which is why I bowl elsewhere, cuz it’s nice to know the employees take care of their lanes…
@@Floriaka because when you bowl on them the strings that hold the pins can catch onto the other strings and make spares that would generally be impossible or very hard. also creates instances where you get strikes on shots that should not or do not deserve to be strikes
@@Floriakathe strings interfere with the game 100% “from the strings themselves knocking over pins, to possibly making pins stand or fall when they really shouldn’t” Its like comparing baseball to T ball lol String pins are ass in my opinion.
Packey, back in 1980 at Nellis AFB aux Field, we bowled on wood lanes with no oil and have not been used in 3 years! We used the approach as part of the lane to make shots with a hook.
You can add more oil. A house that I use to bowl at used a mop and bucket to oil the lanes. The lanes were soaked. By the end of the end your towel could have been rung out and oil would drip off.
You bowl like I do, by throwing the ball and spinning it. I haven’t bowled in forever but my buddies and I used to be huge on it in high school and the summer after in 2003. Man we had some good times haha..
So most everyone is confused on how this ended up on their feed. I'm in the same boat as they are, decent video tho. I'm personally not a fan, but was interesting nonetheless. Good editing, decent dialogue, and all around an amazing first impression for a video. So keep up the good work mate, much love and respect to all.
It took a minute to realize where you were, and I started to realize this alley looked real familiar 😂 that should tell you how about oblivious I am when I noticed how many WuShocks there are everywhere... love to see some content being made in my hometown. ICT love, keep up the videos!❤
I love seeing the arm size be so different in one handed bowlers like they have this giant bicep and forearm on one arm then it’s a complete noodle on the other arm
And plus they grease the lanes so bad there that every time I bowl there and throw a hook ball when they are oiled, my ball looks like Im throwing it straight down the lane.
@@line4line Not yet. It's way cheaper to run and mechanically not very complicated compared to free fall pins. 2 of the 4 bowling alleys near me have changed this year to the string :(
I'm so confused by how this bowling alley works, it looks like the pins are connected by string, yet they don't seem to react or fly like pins attached to string. and how does it work if they are connected to string and have that degree of freedom to fly around without getting tangled?
Let's see how good these guys really are on shots that existed 30 years ago. Since the oil on the alleys dictate scores today, some bowlers think they are really good. It's conditions like this are a real eye opener.
This video just made me reach out to my coach, Steve Ludwig, who helped me win Junior Gold and State multiple times. It's been 5ish years since I've bowled due to multiple knee surgeries, and the rules have changed drastically. I've got 2 brand new critical theories that have to be re-drilled considering the new to me rule of "no balance holes." Lot's to learn being out of the game for several years.
I can’t stand super oily lanes. I curve the ball but on really oily lanes ya can’t curve it. Even wiping the ball off after each throw. To dry of lanes sucks also cuz the ball curves way to much then. It’s a very fine line between no oil n to much oil.
The first time I ever bowled a strike, I accidentally stepped over the line, and my foot skated out from under me, threw the ball down the lane as I was eating shit and it was a strike ! Man I died laughing on the floor
@@loganshaw4527 that shit was right up to to the line lmfao my whole foot wasn’t even over the line just the front have and It slipped out from under me like ice. It was a public place a lot of Kids went that’s probably why
Oh hey it’s WSU, went there for a game design degree and was working for that exact bowling alley. Note to ANYONE who wants to go to WSU (for whatever cursed reason) don’t work there. Full stop. The pay is literally minimum wage ($7.25 for Kansas) and the manager is a douche who will get pissed off at you for any minor inconvenience, like oh idk informing him that you still haven’t received your important document in the mail and legally cannot continue working there. Great food though, easily put of 10+ pounds just from that food alone
@@TheHouseBowling had a 16.5 lbs tilt half pound and a 18 lbs finger ball. But I use to curl 25 lbs weights all the time. Still messed with my thumb playing more then 3 games.
Before I got into highschool my average was around 140. As a freshman it went up to 170s. Sophmore-senior I was average in the 190s. Early on in my season my sophomore year I bowled a 280 and had the second highest average my state with a 221 average.
Congratulations on winning your Regional a couple weekends ago in Waxahachie Texas I was up there watching you bowl. Thats 2 years straight u have won that regional stop right?
On no oil, roll the ball straight around 20 mph or better. On very oily land try to slow the ball down below 10 mph and also roll it straight. That’s what I would do once I get back to offline bowling again.
Question. Why didn't either of them just throw it straight and let the ball walk in? Or was it one of those patterns where the outside 4-5 boards are no man's land? Bowled on that in the Open. It is not pleasant. Touch those boards and your ball is gone.
are those lanes the ones that have the strings on the pins ? hate those first time bowling on them it was 100 then 167 no oil with my stellar friggin awful hard as crap
After Yokosuka Japan where the lane was flooded off the pin deck and a rooster tail the whole way down…… that was not flooded… it is flooded when the hydrodynamic wedge of it causes your ball to back up instead of curve into the pocket….
I bowled at a bowling alley that had strings attached to the pins and it was very frustrated because if the pin went down late the machine wouldn't register it and it would put the pin back up. 😡The people who are in leagues want to have a fair bowling game so they won't go to a bowling alley that have strings attached to the pins.
Would love to meet ya packy you probably know my step father and I grew up in ct and bowled all my life still do about your age too a little younger but besides the point all my family has bowled a lot my dads in two hall of fames for bowling actually and my step fathers sponsored by Brunswick under Parker Bohn the 3rd met him a couple of times would love to bowl with ya and maybe you could teach me some tricks to better my game
How much practice is too much? I've been practicing a lot recently on and off.The lanes to a point where people are starting to say it's unhealthy. Simply put, is there a limit to how much is healthy?
Watch for overuse injuries and have a practice plan which is challenge heavy. As long as you do that and stay mentally fresh you can bowl as much as you want
I have zero ideas as to how this ended up in my feed when I know nothing about bowling.
But I do know this about bowling after watching this video: Bowling trash talk is on another level.

Trash talking your friends while bowling is where it is at.
Yes and all smart people agree, that talking crap about string pins is essential
@@playdiscgolf1546no, we agree that it’s silly at best

It’s all about speed, don’t you know?😂
Whipped out a what with the what, now?
@@Fetidaf He put much more oil on the lane than any sane person would use.
I know nothing about bowling but the banter between these guys make it more interesting than bowling ever has been.
Next challenge? Dry-ish house shot, but you place a bunch of oil in front of the pocket areas making the ball slide into the pocket making weak hits.
That would be a fun one
Rubber Ebonite 3 dot balls on 1970s lane conditions
I know NOTHING about bowling and still was recommended this, I'm not disappointed 😅
Packey I just wanted to let you know that your videos have helped a lot in the long run 💪🙏🙏

hey man thats better than no oil at all
Bowleros and AMF's suck. I only bowl at family ran places.
@@EGGJAZZ honestly i could probably play the same line lmao
ew string pins
The worst thing to ever happen to the game.
The bowling center I always go to have normal pins not ugly string pins they are ruining bowling
I never bowled on String Pins, so can someone explain why its really bad?

haven't watched a single bowling thing on YT and this showed up in my feed. Looked interesting so checked it out. Was a fun watch
crazy that this is literally everyone's thoughts haha, blowing youtube existing is crazy
I don't know why this is in my recommended, but the tralk has me hooked.
You can add more oil. A house that I use to bowl at used a mop and bucket to oil the lanes. The lanes were soaked. By the end of the end your towel could have been rung out and oil would drip off.
I too along many others have never watched bowling content, pulled up on my fyp and gave it a watch, now I speak two languages, righty and english
Last time I went bowling I got 26 points for the whole game. Ball sports aren't my thing but you guys are entertaining.

Almost as bad as throwing the ball with two hands

Both bad though
I've never seen string bowling in the 25years I've been doing it.. Also, 2 handed?? GROSS SHMIGGZ.
@@BodyByBbq yeah i can tell why you dislike it. "25 years ive been doing it"

I'm gonna start calling everybody "Luckbox Magoo" after watching this video. Thank you for introducing that to my lexicon.
dude you got me back into bowling. im braking the old bag out. the ol track enforcer and bruswick danger zone black ice are coming out of retirement.
Never coming back on the channel? Heck, after that he can start his own channel. 🤣
bowling youtube, there truly is a niche for everything.
Great video. The cut-ins are great!
I don’t know much about bowling measures but considering how fun bowling is I subscribe to this
The "wobble" in the straight ball down the dry lane was crazy.
"WOW!! What a tough break.... time to shine, let's go." Had me dying 😂
I used to bowl and enjoyed it. I still could I’ve just no one to do it with and work takes a lot of my time. Enjoyed the vid, I now have an itch 🤣.
I know almost nothing about bowling but this video was very enjoyable 😊 You guys had great back-and-forth and it was a good time 👍
Appreciate the love 😁
I just noticed that venue uses the stringed pins rerack method, does it influence the pin action? Seems like it would...
I have bowled at this exact place before, and yes it does mess with it a bit
It does, it can be minimized but not erased. It's why the competitive folk prefer free fall
First time running into a bowling channel love the vid man!
yknow i don’t hate strings, but im
glad i go to bowl at the wsu camp while they weren’t strings still. interesting to see the difference now
Alex George is that dude! Bowled next to him at Ozarks. He needs to shout out Roto Ryan next time
It’s a official im addicted
that oiled lane is just the house shot in my Seattle house
Same with Shore Lanes in St Clair Shores MI
And plus they grease the lanes so bad there that every time I bowl there and throw a hook ball when they are oiled, my ball looks like Im throwing it straight down the lane.
I just started watching this cause it looked interesting, had no idea you were in my home town. How cool!
That’s awesome!! 💪🏼
How dare you call out my hand raising🤣
0:54 as a British person new to the channel hearing him say “Packey” had me in shock lol. You’d have a lot of issues over here with that name
Packy rambo
Same response
I can only throw straight with backspin sometimes because I have wrist problems. Oil or no oil doesn’t really matter much to me.
I have never noticed there were cables attached to the top of the pins. I don’t know if I like that
They suck. If you slow it down at 8:41 you can see the 4 pin doesn't even touch the 7 pin. The string wrapped around the 7 and took it down.

Packy, this Winter coming up, now that you bowled flooded and skate park, you should challenge someone on ice outside😁
How do practice throwing stright at spares. Even my spare ball seems hook a little
Make a video of you trying duckpin bowling
I noticed the lanes they are using are string-pins. Not the best kind of pins. But I guess they still want to use it.
That’s just what the bowling center that let us do this has
@@AlexGeorgebowling thx bro. btw i did a review about string-pins i recommend you watch it.
man, that thing about the oil pattern went right over my head... there's a reason why i drive truck for a living lmfao
Idk why im here... ive bowled twice in my life... and i watched the whole thing 😅
Well maybe we can see you out on the lanes soon 👀👀
How dare you call me out with my hand being up
😂
A little slower ball speed will help on the oily lane also.
I've never been on this side of TH-cam. Bowling trash talk is fascinating.

Playing at a tournament has this same issue.
You could try 2 half oil lanes. One oiled in the front half, one oiled in the back half
Super cool youre in good ole wichita. I love the shocker lanes
i knew for whatever reason the alleys were slippery but i never knew it was oil 💀
It’s not the same as motor oil. But it is some type of mineral oil, if I’m not mistaken
0:50 hits strike effortless but can't hit that handshake 😄
The first time I ever bowled a strike, I accidentally stepped over the line, and my foot skated out from under me, threw the ball down the lane as I was eating shit and it was a strike ! Man I died laughing on the floor
That is why you do not want to step on the lanes they are so oiled sometimes.
I think the oil is redeposited closer to the line if the players are not wiping the balls each throw.

I was actually expecting to see them play 1 game alternating between the 2 lanes. Would have made it much harder to get used to the lane conditions.
I bowl with a 15lb tropical surge since im just starting out, and a 10lb spare ball should i not do that?
I highly suggest using the same weight
Same weight would be better! But if that’s what ya got then it’s what ya got 😁
@@TheHouseBowling had a 16.5 lbs tilt half pound and a 18 lbs finger ball. But I use to curl 25 lbs weights all the time. Still messed with my thumb playing more then 3 games.
Is 140 a good score for a warm up as a under 14 yr old?
Id say so as for me being a 28 year old whom only started bowling 2 years ago, i score 99-110 with a warm up game
Before I got into highschool my average was around 140. As a freshman it went up to 170s. Sophmore-senior I was average in the 190s. Early on in my season my sophomore year I bowled a 280 and had the second highest average my state with a 221 average.

On no oil, roll the ball straight around 20 mph or better. On very oily land try to slow the ball down below 10 mph and also roll it straight. That’s what I would do once I get back to offline bowling again.
Lol I wonder can you ask which lane is drier and more oiled and get those to bowl at so you can practice better for tournaments.
@@loganshaw4527you can, but a lot of bowling centers won't care as it's just open bowling. But you might get lucky
The balls always have to slow down for good ball motion. But check that dry lane?! I'm shocked! Strings can do one tho😂
where are you bowling it looks like strike and spare in Erlanger
It’s Shocker Lanes inside the student center at WSU
Question. Why didn't either of them just throw it straight and let the ball walk in? Or was it one of those patterns where the outside 4-5 boards are no man's land? Bowled on that in the Open. It is not pleasant. Touch those boards and your ball is gone.
It’s 47’ with 50 mLs of oil. You can’t throw it out there
Just way too much oil on the outside of the lane to get your ball to hook that much so keeping it close to the pocket was the “safer” play
Might have been a bit overzealous with the 240 call
are those lanes the ones that have the strings on the pins ? hate those first time bowling on them it was 100 then 167 no oil with my stellar friggin awful hard as crap
stringpins are the enemy of bowling.
Unfortunately they are
I feel like the term motor mouth is underutilized these days
what exactly is the purpose of the oil on the lane?
dont know how i got here, but um whats this 2 handed bowling thing you do > ? seems like alot to think about ,
I bowl left handed one handed do I throw straight ok 7 or curve?
Do lanes use string pins because it is cheaper and simpler to run? I have bowled at lanes with string pins and I hated it.
0:53 what did he say?
Trust me, you’d get into a lot of trouble having that name in the uk
Short name for Patrick in Ireland, like the goal keeper Packy Bonner...
After Yokosuka Japan where the lane was flooded off the pin deck and a rooster tail the whole way down…… that was not flooded… it is flooded when the hydrodynamic wedge of it causes your ball to back up instead of curve into the pocket….
I really like this idea but maybe a "1 ball challenge" where you gotta use the same ball in both conditions.
Guy: says he has a 16LB Bowling ball.
Me: uses an 18Lb Bowling ball at a few different bowling lanes
