Jessie, can you put the ball logos in the corner of the screen when Darren changes? Would be great to know what worked and what didn't as adjustments are made. Great work as always, and keep slugging Darren!
Thank you Darren for posting this. I am a bowler that averaged 210+ back in 2016. I had a wrist injury, and lost my release, my timing and worst of all my confidence. I struggled to bowl 170 by the year 2018, and had to take a hiatus from bowling. I am just getting back into it, and I am averaging about a 160. Mentally I am fried! Practice looks like 220+, in league still 160s. This video lets me know that its okay to struggle, and even throw some bad shots and bad games. Its okay. Come back and keep bowling. Thanks!
Darren, I just want to say thank you for showing that 128. As a league bowler who can throw a 245 and the next game is a 145, it's nice to know that anyone can bowl a sub par game, even the pros. Those massive swings are pretty demoralizing but the way you guys handle it is really inspiring for us league guys. Thanks for leaving that in.
Seriously. People always out here acting like really low games are impossible. I legit had a horrific first game a couple weeks ago, a 107, I just kept getting the worst splits and couldn’t close even easy spares it felt like. Then I bowled a 169, then a follow up 204 for the final game, but I was getting pressed about the 107 game like bs doesn’t happen from time to time. Lol
Not on the same day, but I have a 118 and 299 on the same ball. Sometimes when I suck balls I can't tell how much it's just my choking in the worst ways or the ball mismatching with what the pair has. Other times it's just bad breaks. Darren could hardly carry a light hit in this event and 7-10ed a few times
Bowled 34 games today 14 at Suncoast 202 average gold coast 20 games 153 average same day 😂😂😂 I expected to do well at gold coast couldn't find a lane to save my life 😂😂😂
@@xIronMaskx Haha, definitely. I just had another rough transition game 2 this past Monday. I had a 200 first game, a 100 second game with a bunch of splits and just bare misses on the flat 10, then a 190 game 3. It’s always the 1st or 2nd game which give me the random catastrophe game.
I got an autograph and picture from you that day and was probably the best day ever! I'm definitely going to see you on Friday before you all leave. Good job with scorpion event wasn't pretty but still fun to watch. The shark looks more promising and can't wait for that video to come out!
Damn bro, I remember watching you and Michael bowl for SJ State at 4th street bowl, seeing you bowl professionally is awesome, it’s been an honor and a privilege to watch your game improve to this level much love brotha
Everyone has their good days and bad days, how you hold your head up during the bad days. Now that is what separates the elite from the good. You, Tang, are elite.
Even after a rough go at that Scorpion pattern it’s nice to see you smile and take it for what it is. Positive vibes are always good vibes too! Here’s hoping for some stellar bowling tomorrow for you 🌰
Brutal .... making "retired" here look pretty good. You wore me out just watching, my thumb would have fallen off about 1/2 way through the first round! Hang tough DT, you are still this fan fav.
I cant even imagine all the things going through your head, but the bit of the video at the end you seem so composed and still had a positive attitude. I strive to be like you with my bowling...and also strive to legit NEVER have to bowl on that pattern lol. Good luck with the rest of the week though :)
Aw man you're in Wauwatosa!? I need to check up on the PBA schedule more frequently I could've asked my brother to take pictures there! He lives there! Wisconsin represent! Glad to see you here Vitamin D!
That straighter shot at around the 6:30 mark is such a prettier ball then the massive gaping hook the blows through the center pin and leaves weird splits. I love watching that straighter shot.
Yeah, without seeing every shot it's hard to tell but it seemed like that ball and the Pitch Black had decent lines for him. Yet in the vid it seemed like he really was determined to swing it.
@@Helthurian I agree that not seeing every shot in order makes it hard to say anything definitively. But from my perspective (and it happens on most videos) he throws what Ill call a mid-hook > strike > throws a slightly bigger hook > leaves a 10 pin > then continues to throw a bigger and bigger hook moving more boards t o the left. When he throws a more straight shot, the action he gets in the pocket is insane. But again, as soon as he leaves a10 pin its back to huge swinging hooks.
I remember going into nationals averaging 232 one year. And left like I fell into the Twilight Zone. I averaged a whopping 170 for singles, doubles and team combined. The lanes kicked my butt. LOL
We ❤ U Darren💯 Keep Going Get That Or Those Bad A** Balls Tuned Up. You’ll Make It Hang In There. Heck I Practice Last Night & It Was He’ll On House It Was Crazy Cause All League Players Burnt It Down 😢. I Had 2 Push Through. Best Wishes ❤U 🥰
Can someone explain to me how a block format works looking to do the open tournament that’s in Wisconsin in June just don’t understand how the block format works kinda confusing
Darren I started watching your stuff a while back but didn’t remember what your name was. Saw you at the tournament of champions and was like damn this dude is good. Shortly put 2 and 2 together after I saw the video you posted 🤦🏻♀️
Don’t feel bad Darren, it’s not even the pattern honestly, it’s Bowlero. Lmfao. I swear they literally sand the lanes to 80 grit, then throw some beer and soda on the lane to make it sticky and dirty, then lay the pattern on top of that for you to bowl on in tournaments only, since they don’t even try to oil the lanes otherwise. Lol. XD
Hey Darren. Rooting for you bro! I used to bowl in high school, and have been watching and invested in your journey. I wanted to ask you how come you don’t play an easier line or why on the far left. I love your style but just genuinely curious! I always wondered watching bowlers go from the right side vs the left side. Much love brother 🤙🏼
Oil pattern, plus # of games, plus # of bowlers makes the lanes change constantly. Usually when you see a bowlers swinging the lane like they are in this video, means the lane is pretty toast
My wallet hurts every time I hear the name Bowlero... unfortunately they purchased the 2 nearest bowling alleys to me and the prices are ridiculous to say the least.
That's just bowling. Some nights, you hit anywhere in the pocket, or even just touch the head pin, and all 10 will go down. On this pattern, on this night, any mistake you made, you were paying the max penalty. 2-10's, Greek Churches, you were even splitting when you were throwing the ball straight. Just write it off as a bad night and move on. We know you're a helluva lot better than this. Keep on grinding, and one of these weeks you will hold that trophy before you know it.
He closed his angles, had a solid 225 game, then next game immediately opens them way up? I’m not a pro so I may be wrong but that doesn’t seem like the best bet
Let me give you a bit of advice. If you want to throw straight at a rack of bowling pins, you gotta use the 11 lb ball and throw it 25 mph. If you had hits like that when you started bowling straight, with a 11 pounder, those hits might carry. Sometime with a 11 lb ball at 25 miles per hour you may miss the headpin and still strike.
So Daren Tang where's the straight ball? This WED 4-12-23 was our last bowling day so we bowled in NO-tap. my first game was only a 212, the second game I had the front 9 then on my 10th frame I put it right in the pocket with no doubt it & left a solid pocket 5-10 split & only got the 5 pin for a 264 game, the last game #3 I had the back 9 for a 258 with my ending series of a 734 my highest series ever on league. I used my 12lb spiral black, yellow & blue visaball plastic polyester ball. I stood to the far right with my right foot 1 board to the right of the first dot on the second row of dots, I lofted the ball just past the arrows so about 12' out on the FIRST board, that angle with ZERO side-ward roll = STRAIGHT BALL all the way to the pins was my 9 or better ball at around 14 MPH. you can see all my OPEN bowling over 120 bowling videos on my Rumble account. got to rumble to do a rumble search " Learn how to become a better Straight/Hook ball bowler with the Brooklyn Crusher" some of my videos will come up. they are all listed by the date I bowled them. I list videos ever week. I will be bowling again on Sunday 4-16-23 but don't post in until WED the 19th & it takes a few days to post. type in the date with the search that might bring it up. I will show this Sundays video how I bowled on this last wens-days league that I had 9 in a row in both the 2nd & 3rd game. it about the angle NOT roll that's why I lofted it 12'. I found out you can only have up to a 1.5 degree angle on your BEST straight ball from the foul line so to create more angle you must loft it out more for more angle. about 12 to 13 feet or in line with the first arrows on the FIRST board or on the 39th board. I can never get it to work on other boards 1 & 39 only! 12 to 13 out ONLY! must be standing in the gutter area before the foul line of course. I will show it on my next video my 121st video this Sunday 4-16-23. with a truly str8 ball you NEVER have oil or dryness to mess with it will NEVER matter with lane conditions & you NEVER EVER need to wipe your ball = oil does NOT matter.
DTang if youd move right and throw down and in youd do alot better imo, going cross lane like youre doing isnt working, but the few shots i saw you throw with that black urethane im assuming, those where down and in and very good shots, straighter is greater!
Can someone explain why bowlers move sooooo far left? I understand some lines are completely burnt but why not move right with more speed or less hook? Just genuinely curious, thanks. I don’t understand the pro bowler mind lol
Not a professional, don't bowl tournaments, just league, so take everything i say with a heavy pinch of salt I feel it has something to do with entry angles, simonsen actually bowled plastic with surfave at the end of the pattern (i haven't watched darren yet, it was in brad and Kyle's video) and the entry angle came in so shallow that he had to HEAVE the ball to get any action. The right side is more likely to leave 10 pins, and be less consistent It's also basically impossible for 2 handers to drop their rev rate enough to make use of their primary balls on an extremely dry pattern from the right side
I guess in this case the lanes were so burned that it is impossible to play a smaller hook. Hence lofting it. But also it is sort of a "paradigm" in bowling these days that after 3 or 4 games you move wayy in. But also the modern balls and high rev players contribute for the 'burning' of the oil pattern after few games
Jessie, can you put the ball logos in the corner of the screen when Darren changes? Would be great to know what worked and what didn't as adjustments are made. Great work as always, and keep slugging Darren!

Love your videos brother! You always give me so much inspiration!!
saw the first video and got excited, glad for an update!
I love watching these vids in slow motion you can learn a lot.
I like the fact that Darren always try’s to fight his was back.
It happens. Still a fantastic bowler. Head up and on to the next one Darren!

Good commentary by the Cam man.

seeing the lefties with so much room and the right handers are all struggling.
Brutal lane conditions for sure, one block is good and the other is bad
Thank you for making this video

Jamming it into the pocket with a ball that stores energy in the oil is always an option when everything else doesn't work.
Keep that head high and bounce back with high numbers tomorrow!
Tim Foy's reaction was priceless!
Amazing video I enjoyed watching alot
I would love an unedited version of this!
I remember going into nationals averaging 232 one year. And left like I fell into the Twilight Zone. I averaged a whopping 170 for singles, doubles and team combined. The lanes kicked my butt. LOL
That first 2 minutes is how I look on hard shit, but with a 170 lmao

Kinda like life? Take your lumps, learn something from it, and keep plugging away... one ball at a time.
Darren looks like me during game 3 in a house shot league full of men
Can someone explain to me how a block format works looking to do the open tournament that’s in Wisconsin in June just don’t understand how the block format works kinda confusing
How much oil did they have on those lanes?!? Your full left aiming for the 3rd notch on the left, sometimes the 2nd notch.
Sometimes you gotta throw a few straight ones to clear your mind
컵핑을한후 중약지를 수직방향으로 리프팅해서쳐보시면요.
The first 3 minutes looked like if you landed inches earlier it'd strike.
You bowled straight last year too. Sometimes things be like that
I’m one of the managers at the center! I’d love to bowl on your channel in the pro v am challenge!
Hey Darren! What camera do you guys use to film??
How does the tournament work? Is it just high game placement or high set?
If you're going to throw it that wide, use the Gold Label.
Im so sad I didn't get to watch the 4th block you did so well as well

Every competitive bowler knows your pain... I had mine last week.
Loved the part where he bowled STRAIGHT no hook!

Short memory! No way but up ❤🇵🇭
Whats the tape for on the arm and what kind of tape is it?

It worked for Anthony Simonson last night!?
I wish there was more spare coverage in your videos.

Let’s see if it’s actually straight this time 😅
This isn't the house shot at Soutpoint!
i once beat bj moore in the greensburg open in qualify and tied him in the finals and im 16
Does it still count if the ball is airborne when it hits the pins?🙃
He closed his angles, had a solid 225 game, then next game immediately opens them way up? I’m not a pro so I may be wrong but that doesn’t seem like the best bet
First and I love Darren he makes me smile
Didn't see one straight ball
Do you think when you worked with your coach on your third step, this changed your game??? Just a observation.
how was +- was calculated? or its threshold at 200
200 is the baseline that they shoot for. Bowling 190 = -10
Bowling 211= +11
Total= 401 which totals out to be +1 for the series. Hope that helps
@@montymoore5388 Oh thanks, does it count at this rule at all tournament?
I do believe this is the case I've had friends talk about and do local tourneys and they talked about 200 being the number.
Darren how can I hook my ball more
Cool video talk Darren tang bowlling tournament
At least you didnt bowl gay bro
Having some fun by throwing straight like you did is exactly what needed to be done. Reset the mind. Have a bit if fun while things are looking down
Been a tad slow on videos this week compared to everyone else Jesse you b slackin or what😂😂😂

Looks like your prying the ball off your hand. Just watch your release in this video. It’s everywhere.
Same video title as last year haha Yearly thing?
Hi splits Tang 😡 bowl no curve 😂 yeah less splits
Get the camera man sum chapstick ASAP…
Gotta spin the ball more instead of rolling it on those conditions, and keep it tight. It’ll go longer, those kinda days are tough tho
1st I love your videos Darren keep up the grind
Did You bowl gay in the last one?
yooo
Can someone explain why bowlers move sooooo far left? I understand some lines are completely burnt but why not move right with more speed or less hook? Just genuinely curious, thanks. I don’t understand the pro bowler mind lol
Not a professional, don't bowl tournaments, just league, so take everything i say with a heavy pinch of salt

It's also basically impossible for 2 handers to drop their rev rate enough to make use of their primary balls on an extremely dry pattern from the right side
Bowl straight? Click bait
A bowler is their own worst enemy. I’m not sure why throwing a smaller hook is looked down upon…
I guess in this case the lanes were so burned that it is impossible to play a smaller hook. Hence lofting it. But also it is sort of a "paradigm" in bowling these days that after 3 or 4 games you move wayy in.

Title is misleading lol jk... Kinda. Everyone bowls straight in a tournament... When they spare/splits...
