I love your channel. I’m a retired NFL player who loves to bowl now. I learn a lot from watching your channel and I very much appreciate the content you put on here
Yo Mike!! I’m a die hard Falcons fan. I’ve got a ball you signed at training camp when I was a kid in a case in my living room! That 05 draft class was legendary, man. You, Roddy, Babs, Chauncey. Hated to see you go in 08, but congrats on the ring! Hope all is well, brother.
IDEA FOR LEAGUE NIGHT VIDEO: You have a Dice and whatever it lands on, that's the arrow you aim at and you roll the dice every time you don't strike. Similar to when you had to spin the wheel when you didn't strike in season 1 of league night
Darren missing by 2 boards "oh that one needs help" (wrecks pocket) Darren's friend misses by 2 arrows and still strikes "i wish i was good" i love house shots lol
I been watching your vids for about a month now and I try to take in what you say. Tonight I bowled 44 pins over my PR, broke 200 for the first time and got 219. Thank you Darren and Jesse for what y'all do
I love watching your league nites and the different ball choices! It shows your skill man! Hope u keep this up shows the different reactions and nice spares also.
I've started bowling league over the last few months. Last week bought my first personal balls and got the tropical surge and white dot. On my 15th game with the new combo I hit my first 200 (201) game with them. Also learning finger tip bowling which has been a steep learning curve. Happy with the progress and feel like it's a great starter ball for me.
Before I signed with Ebonite I used my Tropical Surge quite often on house shpts allowed me to move left quickly....but I do have lower ball speed. I could never play very straight with it or get good carry when lanes became tighter but it kept me in play lol. 😂
"I wAnT a StRoNgEr BaLl" - Darren Tang, standing at... maybe 25 or 27 and getting it out to 5 with it coming back with ENTRY LEVEL equipment. Meanwhile I stand at 20 and push it out to 5 on a BURNT LOW VOLUME HOUSE SHOT, WHILE THROWING THE GEM!!!! *Inhale* *Exhale* *Inhale* *Exhale* I'm sorry, I had to vent about my lack of revs
True true, but he could move right and flatten his wrist out and/or throw it harder. I wasn't complaining about my pin carry, I was complaining about me having the rev rate of an 8 year old
could you do a ball review of the tropical surge as a beginner ball, i think it would be a very informative video to newer bowlers who may only have a cheap ball, and help them understand what the limitations of the ball is and what they should be looking and thinking about when they go bowl with it. cheers!
I would like to see this as well; I was kind of hoping to see more shots with the Surge in this video (instead of all the dorking around in front of the camera trying to be funny).
Came back to this video in the days b4 Lance was a partner I'm guessing? Can still hear him yelling from across the center 😂! Quite the character that guy!
Jesse: I like how it's so easy for you to bowl 900... and you bowl bad. Darren: 😐I have been doing this all my life. It's literally my job. Idk why this took me out.
Some of the "beginner / entry level stuff" is really damn good. I know you can't use them but the solid Hammer Raw is a beast for it's price point. I also wish they would bring back the Hustle Ink
Hey, love the content dtang...this is how i feel every thursday. Quick question, anyone know this instrumental in the back?? My girl is going crazy trying to figure it out
Here's a comment for Jesse: your average is right there with mine, and I've been doing leagues for 15 of the last 24 years. You have a very good coach in Darren. Despite you throwing 2 handed and Darren being a traditional bowler, it is clear that his presence is helping your game alot. Wondering if that's what my own game needs, to be bowling with a pro. Love these league night videos though!
Your channel, content, editing, it's all amazing. I just got into my first league, a practice league at a Bowlero. I'm trying to get to the pro level so I can be up there with ya Darren, any tips and tricks on how to get into League/PBA?
Bought a hustle wine, imidietly played a tourney. Pattern was long and thick, I struggled lol. Before the shop opened I threw a 196 with a house ball, 185 was my highest and 116 was my lowest with the hustle. The ball did amazingly, everytime I hit my mark with a solid release it was a strike. But I yanked quite a few. It handled suprisingly well for spares. No problem hitting any 10 pin I left. For reference my average is 176, I bowl right handed thumbless 1 handed. My line is pretty average.
Beginner balls strike no matter what people say! Heck my Electrify Solid and Thrill Yellow/Pink are still two of my absolute favorite pieces, granted I have the Electrify at 2000 and the Thrill at 3000
Your right Tang because if I had a dollar dfor every time someone thought that they could tell me something about bowling i would have a million dollars by now. But People just don't know how hard bowling really is not until they've had at least 20 years under their belt like me or maybe Bell Monte or something. I told j. R. Raymond about Rodney Conieval, and I used that analogy of how perfect the set up for the jump over the grand canyon, and that was what i was telling him that it was a stunt every time he jumped anything, and that it had to be set up just right or sudden disaster would accure. Well that's the same for any good bowler. People that don't know think that it's really easy. It appeared easy to me when I first started, and I thought that I was good because i hit the pocket every time, but I found out that there was a carry and a hook issue to address.. Everybody thinks that they know but they don't.
Darren... Just throw the ball slower. In league you have so much free hook to the left, so its not about hitting your hook spot from side to side, its about hitting your hook spot from front to back. If the ball wont pick up in the right spot, slow it down and adjust your roll based on how much you need the ball to hook.
STILL waiting on Darren to throw nothing but aggressive solid asym balls. Would be very entertaining to see him throw something like the Gem every game lol
Cool video talk tech bowling storm tropical surge with nano technology in the bowling ball more strike and spare hitting power at time and roto grip hustle wine with nano technology in the bowling ball too more strike and spare hitting power at time Darren tang
This was a testament to your versatility even with an entry level ball you still bowled pretty good in my opinion. A lot of technique and refinement is in your style and I like the contrast of one vs two handed also. Great video Vitamin DTang
Proof that a person CAN bowl well with whatever equipment they have IF they learn how to adapt to the Equipment and Lane conditions. I also realize that somewhere on the fringes some combos just will NEVER work well...
I don't miss beginner balls. I do miss the smell of my first Tropical Storm, Black Cherry. The smell of the Hy-road makes me happy though. I went to a 900 Global booth and started smelling balls because in my head they are all Storm. Then I remembered... Storm, but not Storm. =P Thanks for always bringing the content on all your platforms. I always look forward to your videos. Keep up the great work on and off the lanes.
I was going to say, isn't the Hy-Road pearl at least sort of a beginner ball? I thought it would be his best bet. It looks nice pretty much any time I see someone toss one

I'm coming to watch you bowl league since I'll be in town. Bowl good 🤔
1:00 is no one going to talk about how good of a spare that was?!
Jesse I too wish I was that good of a bowler. Just to make it look so effortless and strike 90% of the time. Wishful thinking. Thanks for the content
New shirt Idea thanks to this video. I throw ball, I pray!
Your facial expressions are hilarious 😂
9:39 it's nice when you have playing room the size of Texas ain't it 🤣
Lol
you should get kyle troup to help him learn more about 2 hand bowling

Always! It's what the fans want and expect from league night. :)
Hey, love the content dtang...this is how i feel every thursday. Quick question, anyone know this instrumental in the back?? My girl is going crazy trying to figure it out
Bowling with Jesse is a hoot.... this maybe the Darren Tang show... But, Jesse is the entertainment
13:20 it looks like you tossed the ball up because only the ball was seen in your backswing hahahah
Here's a comment for Jesse: your average is right there with mine, and I've been doing leagues for 15 of the last 24 years. You have a very good coach in Darren.

The Jesse fouls are back! Classic.
I was there for the first 2 games. Thank you for being so gracious!!!!!
Bowl only illegal balls next week! 🤣
Did that week 2!
For the next league night let Jesse decide your balls, where you stand and what moves you need to make! That could be really fun to see!

Bowl a shit Ton and find a good coach
You guys should put those Bowl DMC caps on your merch site, looks cool. Love the channel ‼️ 👍🏾
I would get that hat!
Good Music Combination in this video so we can hear the strikes and sounds of the bowling center.
I would love to see you do like a ball series in league meaning you do all zen one week then all phaze one week.

Started watching your last few vids,and it makes me wanna get back into it! I enjoy watching ! Thank you 👍🏾
Can u bowl with the twist bowling ball I got one as my first and I haven't drilled it nor used it
Have you done throw spare balls only?
Idea: Have Jesse throw urethane, like the Pitch Black. Also, have Darren loft it over the gutter every shot.
Do you have a light on the camera or is the center just have that much light?
Beginner balls strike no matter what people say! Heck my Electrify Solid and Thrill Yellow/Pink are still two of my absolute favorite pieces, granted I have the Electrify at 2000 and the Thrill at 3000
Hey I’m pretty fresh to bowling and I was wondering what you mean when you said you have your balls at 2000, and 3000
@@Elbungito he sanded them, it helps change how much they hook as the surface is different
@@MrPandito THIS! I had a Pro shop guy sand my Raw Hammer and it made a BIG difference to this low rev player..
Cut my hand open at work and havent been able to bowl because of the stitches. Thankful for this video killing my bowling bug
I GOT AN IDEA : How about you throw your favorite ball you own for all 4 games, or a combo of your top 4 bowling balls
I like when they offer to oil the lane before you use it knowing you bowl league, not always but it's nice can see the days pattern.
Question : is a hustle wine good for left handers?
Do you talk to the team you’re bowling against? I’m curious what it’s like for them.
Depends on them 🤷🏻♂️
Lol my bad brother. But I’m thankful you did it 😂
do you think that the roto grip hyped pearl is a decent ball?
Hey what’s up with the left hand slander?? We still go against you guys on the same lane and oil.
Use the 4 phase balls one night
Looking forward to this week’s challenge. Couldn’t watch the stream because I was in the 2 PM squad.
Do a league night with only all the Hustles
He just threw the Wine the whole time on the right lane and it wasn't a great match to the conditions
13:20 why the hell is there a floating ball
and why did nobody realize that??
I bowled the same as normal scores blame the ball I think I got this bowling thing now
Are the higher price balls that much better?
See you at the pro-am tomorrow bro!
jesse uses the ice spare ball right
Since you did something we wanted, how about you do “bowling with balls In the Nut category” or something like that
Doubles Scotch LOWBALL format...Just how good is your corner pin sniping?
Idea for league night:throw your favorite balls
Which would you recommend? The surge or the hustle for a beginner if they are looking for more hook potential?
hustle is the goat
Bring 3 of the strongest balls like The Gem Reality and Proton Physixs and then as they 4th ball bring urethane
Already did! Check the earlier episodes
@@DarrenTang oh yeah I forgot lol love the vids and storm Nation
Your right Tang because if I had a dollar dfor every time someone thought that they could tell me something about bowling i would have a million dollars by now.

LEAGUE NIGHT IDEA: only plastic balls with 500 surface while doing one step drills all night.
Cmon Darren just do house ball you will get so many subs
Darren... Just throw the ball slower. In league you have so much free hook to the left, so its not about hitting your hook spot from side to side, its about hitting your hook spot from front to back. If the ball wont pick up in the right spot, slow it down and adjust your roll based on how much you need the ball to hook.
I was thinking you would tell us which balls you were throwing.
The fact Jesse threw the bowl in three different spots and it still striked literally just blew my mind!!!😭
I did that for the last 3 shots of my 300 game
urethane 1st game; big asym pin down 2nd game; hy-road pearl 3rd game; Short pin to PAP ball 4th game
STILL waiting on Darren to throw nothing but aggressive solid asym balls. Would be very entertaining to see him throw something like the Gem every game lol
Already did earlier in the season!
Retired or oversea bowling balls? Btw ill be there for nationals, so hoping to see my pick when I'm up there.
Here's my suggestion for a league night challenge. Throw ONLY Idols. Any of them ever made.
Yo its so cool that you were able to bowl against Walter White what a legend
Cool video talk tech bowling storm tropical surge with nano technology in the bowling ball more strike and spare hitting power at time and roto grip hustle wine with nano technology in the bowling ball too more strike and spare hitting power at time Darren tang
Idea: Use only one ball for the whole night. But, the discord server picks that ball!
I can hook theee whole lane with the hustle wine 😐 very strong “beginner” ball
I have the Hustle Wine too and use it a lot.
I was kind of shocked to find out that its an Entry Level Ball.
You should do a league night where you don’t move spots with feet. You can move your mark down lane but that’s it
YES I ASKED FOR THE TROPICAL SURGE LETS GOOO
Do a league nights using a house ball
What weight do you throw? It’s got some impact… I’m bowling with 16lb but max speed I’m getting is around 16mph
Darren throws 15 lbs
You should bowl in rental shoes.
I want to see Darren bowl league with "retired " bowling balls
......Ah....South Point Lanes!!! I agree with how atrocious they are! 😅😂

Congrats on the 2ns Place in Utah. 😉👍
Next time you do two balls one on each lane you should change what ball you throw on each lane every game
Was gonna main my hustle wine this week but now I have mixed feelings after watching lol.
Why? Do you bowl at South Point on the fresh? Hustles are money, they just need lighter conditions except for the PBR.
Hustle Wine is an amazing ball. It isn’t a beginner ball in my eyes. I’ve bowled 300s with it, it’s my favorite ball out there

What ball was Jesse throwing?
jesse should try to throw the weaker stuff it might help his game since they are usually cleaner down lane
Sometimes weak balls actually back end more because they use up less energy in the heads and mids. They'd match up with Jesse's slower speed, though.
The weaker balls don’t do too well in this place because of the type of oil they use 😔
