@@daltonsmith7467 getting a 300 in NewYork is equivalent of a 230 game. The Great 10 board Wall shot. You ever watch king Tv ? Joe Schmo has 45 300 games. His a opponent has 49 300 games. We have a bowling alley in Colorado same thing guys average 230 come to my alley can’t get 200.
No 300s yet (only 2 years into bowling 23 yrs old) highest score was 274 with mix just started throwing more reactive balls had a 260 with my idol Helios. CONGRATS to you Darren another well deserved title can’t wait for the next season to start to see you rack up more titles!!
This is such a difficult shot on the burn, with the conditions, instead of having to hit it so hard with your hand you have to be very intricate, feed it to the correct spot and make good shots. And then thr fresh is almost a completely different pattern. Darren bowled amazing!
Congrats Darren! With all the work you've been putting in this win is just the tip of the iceberg. That is by far the coolest trophy I've ever seen, has a lot of character compared to a mere plaque.
Congrats on the win, Darren! Glad to see you making the cut and taking the Title after such a rough struggle. It looked like the lanes were giving you some trouble, but keep your head down and bowl well! Congrats again, man!!!
Congrats on the win Bro. I'm at 0 300s. Just started bowling about a year ago and I got my first 258 a couple weeks ago. Still learning the targeting properly and when to make moves and how much etc but I'm loving the learning process.
Darren, I hope you read this. I got into bowling this year at 22, I'm decent for 1st year but never going to be close to you. Just one thing to say: Even though you were 2nd in the tourney and bowled great in quals, the tone of your video seemed to be like you didn't believe in yourself! Maybe it's just your humbleness showing, but you're the shit! A PBA bowler! there's 50,000 of us wanting to see you win and when you went through the dry streak earlier this year it seemed like your head was out (and I know you said it was for other reasons, I understand). But at the end of the day we're all pulling for you my man, congrats on the win & sick trophy
Congratulations Darren! You have a great work ethic and you work your tail off! Very happy for you bro! Been bowling since I was 14 (I’m 42) and I’ve only bowled 300 twice.
Congratulations Darren! It was great to see you win, and to see many of the bowlers I used to watch on Hawaii TV... Keith Odette was always fun to watch!
Congrats Darren! Sweet trophy! Easy to count for me, zero 300s. My best is 279, but I did get an Andy Varipapa 300 associated with that, 14 strikes in a row over 2 games.
Same story for me. My high game is 247, which started with 2 open frames. But I've had 15 consecutive strikes over 2 games. Last 8 of one game and first 7 of the next. Both games ended with a 236 but at least I got my first 700 series out of it.
I have been bowling since I was six and I'm currently 37. 1. 300 game 1. 800 series (without a 300) 2. 7-10 conversation that's is all. I going to win 1 Regional Title and be happy with my bowling career lol. congrats on your win! that trophy is cool looking.
Don't worry. There aren't as many black bowlers even in casual leagues as there are other races til this day (That's why I appreciate guys like George Branham III, Gary Faulkner Jr. And the late Billy Oatman but I've bowled since I was 12 myself and I'm 36 now. I've only bowled two 300 games in my life so far. My avg sits between 198 and 210 and I've considered joining the PBA in my 20s, but it's hard for a brotha. Faulkner even quit sometime ago so there's no black representation anymore and I don't want to be it. I won several tournaments locally ranging in purses between 2000 and 10000 dollars. The big one that gave me 10000 got me my current car haha. I thought about joining the Regional Tour multiple times too but ever since I took a big loss to a rival I thought I was gonna beat, it really killed my motivation to keep going so I just bowl casually once every few months. I don't even do leagues. My highest series is an 816 (with one of the 300 games I bowled) but I haven't touched 800 much, probably 7 or 8 times in my life. Never converted a 7-10. I've converted a bunch of 6-7-10s and 4-7-10s and a greek church once during cosmic bowling though. I like Darren too. He's not black but he is a good representative of minorities out there especially since most of the pro league is still white. I think I can say he's my favorite PBA guy right now. Used to be Branham when I was a kid, then Oatman when I was a teen. I wish you well too man.
What’s the difference between bowling ball cleaning, bowling ball resurfacing and bowling ball detoxing/bleeding. I’m still confused on it, can you please explain it in a vlog/video Darren?
I sat down and carefully tallied all my wins over the past 35 years. Double checked against all available stats and official records. Even passed my results to a friend to help verify my findings and after careful deliberation, I have a grand total of 0 wins. Seems about right. I will also admit to acknowledging how much I do wrong and it's pretty epic. I understand wrong more than most. I've found that charging for my wrong insights is a great way for bowlers to eliminate them quickly in their own game quicker than most coaching methods. All beginners should hit me up for a session or two.
Congrats on an excellent win! Vitamin DTang bringing home the hook and baby hook. Way to reel it in (get the hook 🤣). Absolutely phenomenal here's to many more to come
Congratulations! Well done! You grinded this out and got as comfortable as you could be with the shot. That is a beautiful trophy...one to be displayed! Enjoy the rest of your time in Hawaii
My single 300 came during my only 800 series. The pattern was easy that day. Awesome trophy and matching necklace!! Your first place check just about paid for the roundtrip from Vegas.
(1) 300 to my name back in April 1993 and I didn't make it 6 weeks into the next season before being forced to quit due to injury. Never bowled again after that - never missed it until about 6 months ago.
I am 69 and quit bowling for 21 years. I have 3 300's and 2 800(both without a 300 ) and a high of 835. This was back in 2000. Started practicing 4 weeks ago for my subbing and last Friday had the 1st 10, was really nervous after 21 years and only my 6th game back, so of course I blew it, but I am excited to come back, I feel they are out there
Congrats! Let's see.. 7 300s, best 2 game qualifier tourney 580(both games 10 pin in 1st, off the sheet), 857 series, 222 average. I had to quit due to health reasons. I sure miss bowling.
Congrats on your win. Personally I have tossed 3 -300 games. First was 3rd game in a tournament. also have one 800 series (816 with one open frame). In that 800 series I had 31 strikes out of 35 chances. Struggling to hit 600 these days. Getting older and sore feet and Dupuytren contractions. Just out having fun these daays out on the lanes.
Zero 300s but this year I had 15 200+ games the most I've ever had....I had a 246 that was 2 bad breaks away from being a 300 game stone 10 and stone 8...put in the work and saw major results.
Congratulations on your victory!! Well deserved. I've never been good enough to shoot a 300, but I'll keep shooting for it and maybe one day, who knows !!
Congratulations on the win you and your brother are two of the best personalities on the tour keep it up . As for me i have 30+ 300 been in this since i was 18 im 47 so been a while. And 18 800 all over indiana and Chicago.
Nice win being persistent and very cool trophies! I only have one 300(November 2004). Just recently had to stop bowling due to low back arthritis/neuropathy that bowling was making worse. Thanks for the bowling videos to keep my interest in bowling alive!
just one 300, but 2-290's with gutters in the last frame, lol. after the 300 i gave up bowling for golf, got back into bowling because my parents were getting too old for golf and my son got back into bowling, so we bowl just about everyday now. watched Keith since he was a kid practicing at leeward every day, never seen him bowl like that, just shows how fast the lanes can change there, Great bowling. NGL, was kinda jealous when i saw my friend Ace with the bowling ball
Great job and nice win D-Tang. I am one of your avid fans. But it did look like a bit of a pro-am tournament. You were the pro, and the rest of the field were all amateurs. Were you the only regular PBA pro who went to Hawaii for this tourney? I didn't see a single recognizable pro from the tour in this video, except for Peters, lol. I know it's still not easy to win though. Congratz!
i currently have 0 300s, but im getting a lot closer, as ive become a lot better of a bowler in the last 3 months, finally figured out what i was doing and starting to fix it, also figuring out what is better and doing that instead
Congratulations! I have had four 300 games (3 sanctioned).in the last year. Unfortunately, that may be my last as I have Rotator Cuff Surgery schedule on May 6 on my dominant arm which will side line me for close to a year and I may never regain full function of my right arm
Never bowled a 300. Highest is still only a 214 that I bowled like 4 months ago, 2 months after I started bowling regularly. I've had like fifteen 200s now though. three 202s, a few 207s, some 208s, a 212, four 213s.
Hello Tang --- I just love your name because I always like to say Tang is always Tangier. Anyway hello. Yes I am 58 years old and I want you to know that you will always struggle with this game --- it ( will always be a struggle ) because it was for me when I was bowling back in the 80's and 90's, and the year 2000 as well. Well I would advise you to get a ball that does a gradual hook to the pocket. Although I don't want to tell you something that would pull you off of your game and make your scores come down so do what's best and comfortable for you. Not really sure what advise that I could give you, but however I have always wanted to find a cure for the game in all my time thinking about being a pro. Can't bowl anymore due to a foot operation though. But I've always have been a studier of the game --- sort of a scientific study in my life. Although good luck in all your games. Anyway have you ever thought about life after death. Anyway I think that you need to invest in a (K. J. B.) King James Bible and give you life to Jesus and let him run it. Anyway there is life after death and I have always been concerned with all of you young bowlers ---- especially (Young Bowlers.) that is, or young people in general. Well if you want to chat with me or want me to pray for you then my email is: (jspur007@gmail.com). Love you all and keep bowling good like you always do. God bless you. Tand.
A big fat 0 is what I have for 300's. i can't even throw the ball straight. still trying to figure out how to hook my ball as well. i can't seem to figure it out. it gets discouraging at times.
Awesome win Darren!!!! I knew good things were gonna happen!! You dominated in the qual! CONGRATS KID!!! 13 300’s for me (covering 1978 - 1997)
Hope that wasn’t in New York.

2 300s. Last one was about 15 years ago. Both centers are closed now.
Congratulations! That is a pretty sweet trophy.
