Ben (and other NZ youth) have systematically torn us older Kiwi bowlers a new one over recent years... it's equal parts inspirational and terrifying to be on the lanes with those guys. Ben works incredibly hard to be as good as he is, and at such a young age he has the world in front of him. Watch this space.
Im 13 with no arms and im better than him.
@@timanders3151 amazing!
I walked away as the video started, came back to see him throwing a spare and my jaw fell open. I would be utterly intimidated watching him send that ICBM down the lane. It looks *so good*.
I was so glad to age into Seniors this year away from all the young two handers. Now I just get smashed by them in league 🤣
Your TH-cam account is older than me 😂
Welcome to America Ben. Along with Packy you 2 are my favorite bowlers to follow. I've watched Ben on his channel now for well over a year and know he's going to light em up wherever he goes.
Thanks Packy for having Ben on your show. You and Ben are lots of fun to watch.
Absolutely!! Was a blast to have him on!
Packy,
It was very diplomatic of you to let Ben just stomp your ass and you did it with flair. Well done young man. I'm sure this will help keep relations between the 2 countries ongoing.
Not. Sure I let him do anything 😂
It is good to see a young New Zealand bowler doing well. Also Ryan Julian from New Zealand at Mount Mercy
We love Ryan too! 🇳🇿
Both young 🐐’s in the making
The DV8 Troublemaker is amazing! Last week, bowled a 835 with a 300 first game. Felt a connection between a ball and a bowler
Today trouble maker is amazing!
"Spares don't win it, but they will lose it for you."
Those are wise words for anyone looking to get serious in bowling.
Amen. Strike for show but spare for $
Never a good reason to throw pins away.
Ben! Met you at the tournament in Kansas City, I was up there to see my buddy Spencer. Keep throwing it great! Look forward to seeing you in the future on the PBA
Good stuff Benny ❤
Yesss! I've been following along his bowling journey for quite some time now, and it's really awesome to see him make an appearence, especially since he's talked about how much he respects you. Happy for you, Ben!
Dagg on!! Get em next time Packy. Ben was in the zone that set.
Well done Ben, he is truly amazing. Especially for someone so young. I bowled against him at the ANC last year where he destroyed some of the best Aus and NZ had to offer and Kyle and Jesper whom were also playing in our teams event. Mark my words, Ben is great now.... but will finish as the GOAT as long as he does not give it away in his 20s after getting bored beating everyone.
Hard work is the key to becoming great, as long as he keeps working hard he can do anything!
I bowled with him in the shocker camp! He kicked everyone’s ass
He’s pretty darn good
@@TheHouseBowling indeed
That was some great bowling Ben. I really look forward to you bowling with the shockers. I live in Wichita and I was on the Wichita State bowling team back in the 80s when Gordon Vatican was
How is he that good omg!? Great video enjoyed it a lot!!
We were at world youths in Sweden last year. 14 years old at the time and he was 4 pins off the cut. In a stacked field it was crazy bowling
Nice work Ben! ❤
Didn’t know they let animals in the rec 🐐🐐 #GOAT #BENPETTITNUMBERONE
You should challenge Australia’s number one bowler! I bet he’s pretty good!
The house got housed. Kid has talent!
This man has also torn us junior bowlers apart here in Australia
Yea I can understand why!!
You're right Packy, you only go Brooklyn because your pocket is on the Brooklyn side.
If you mean you crossover a lot to the Manhattan/Jersey side, then that is different.
Hahahaah
I love how as soon as he says "soccer", his accent disappears haha. Can tell it's not something he normally says.
Haha, it was hard to say it without an American accent given the company. Football comes much more naturally to the Kiwi accent
Wow you are soooo lucky, you got to film a video with @benpettitbowling
9:12 just disgusting! Great shootin' and welcome to America Ben!!!
After that stone 9, he deserves that jersey haha
Haha he got one don’t worry!
Nice to see fellow members of the Commonwealth on the channel!
Indeed
WOW!! He is amazing!
Love it Ben 🫶🏼
Awesome stuff Ben! 🇳🇿 🔥
Just another Packy loss (on his own channel) to a great bowler 😂 Great video Packy, you'll get a win eventually!
That guy is good.
O'Hare in Chicago (where I am from) can be quite crazy. Awesome vid btw
Ohare is insane!
Hey I have a question for you and it's for my bowling game. I just have the tendency to bring my right hand back when I go to my follow through. How can I get away from it? It's getting me some bad pin count and when my ball goes through the middle part of the lane. I tend to leave big splits like yesterday I left the big four aka double penuchle.
What's up with the blue lines on the lane? I've seen them in other videos...
Edit: Bowled a 195 today, new high game for me :)
It's painter's tape the Shocker bowling team uses to visualize entry angle. The far piece of tape is set at 6 degrees into the pocket, and the closer piece is set at four degrees. Ideally, you want your ball to follow the path between those two pieces of tape into the pocket to get the highest carry percentage
YES THE BEN!!!
His style is from another planet 🥵🥵
no it's from new zealand
Same planet. It’s the same as all other two handers 😂
@@percaspcero7054yeah I really don't get it. Dude looks exactly like Jimoo from JR Proshop. 🤷
@@denmanfite3156 Love to watch their ball vids.
nt rlly
He’s really good 🤙🏾
Ayeee Benny p, too easy boss NZ on top
Good vid Packy! Lol that Ben hung a hunid on you. And you took it in stride.
Hahaha always 😁
Awesome Ben you beast!
Honest question for Packy: From the Jason Belmonte video, did you make the arm adjustment he suggested
Awesome video Packy!!!
This kid looks great. Phenom.
That reverse Sarge Easter grip he’s running looks insane and I absolutely have to try that on a ball now
Same it really helps him cup the ball and get the maximum revs
I'm a huge fan of the All Blacks. Rugby is a great game to watch. One of my bowling shirts is customized for my love of rugby and the All Blacks. On the back I have Kapa O Pango written on it, which in Maori means "the team in black", or the All Blacks.
If you've never seen it, before every test the All Blacks perform a traditional Maori haka. They have their own, Kapa O Pango. It sends chills up your spine.

Cool video talk tech bowling bowling ball
That Black Widow 2.0 hybrid is a MASTERPIECE!
Yes it is!
UPPA BEN 👑
This lad has manners. Good to see..
Another great video!
0:06 whats going on in the monitor lmfao
You actually never do go Brooklyn. You go Manhattan lefty!!
What were the black lines on the right side that looked like a roadway to the pocket about 3/4 of the way down? Reflection on to the lane?
From Packy's reply when someone else asked - "It's painter's tape the Shocker bowling team uses to visualize entry angle. The far piece of tape is set at 6 degrees into the pocket, and the closer piece is set at four degrees. Ideally, you want your ball to follow the path between those two pieces of tape into the pocket to get the highest carry percentage"
this reply is spot on!^
Camera POV was horrible this time Packy, wish we had a better view of the shots from the new dude his form looks dope
Thanks for the Tip will adjust for next time!
ThaT kid is good. Great content. Thanks fellas.
Always trying to provide something fun and entertaining 😁
The way he rips up on the ball he reminds me of Cory hersha
Ben is GOOD!
Ted Lasso is soooooo GOOOOOD
Come on down to Pittsburg, I like and try to beat you... With 60 point handicap.
Well if I’m ever in the area feel free to reach out again!
@@TheHouseBowling You got it!
Packy why dont you ever practice or do these 1v1s on league style bowling (using a pair)?
Keven moved to California he was my 3rd favorite bowler and I was wondering where he was😢❤
hey packy im not doing great at jr gold and i need some help im sitting like 600 something and like 400 under after day 2 on the short i shot 422 after 4 games and was wondering if you had any tips one how to start going back up and im a huge fane of your bowling and channle
Thanks Jesse! I would take in a positive mindset that anything can happen! Don’t try and strike try and have fun and find a way to hit the pocket then everything else will fall into place! Most importantly have fun and enjoy it! 😁
@@TheHouseBowling thank you. you are my favorit bowler and youtuber. im sorry but belmo makes top of my list lol
W he’s a Liverpool fan. W
packy use to bowling ppl that r overseas! lots of the pba bowler that live in us r from overseas
So much miss room😅 he's got the world! 🌎
Jason Belmo Replica from New z 👀
Yeah but he even has more revs than Belmo and svenson which is insane
Packman struggling without that urethane.
Lol struggling with my practice balls 😅
Did someone say "Next gen house bowler"? I think yes.
Packy, you weren't kidding about getting destroyed! I thought it was click bait.
Frankie from cannada like mitch
🔥🔥
he got a 300 in the sydney bowl fest and I was there
That’s awesome!
Nice of u to let the squeaker win…. The teen looks like he is digging a hole when he releases it
It's slim time
Hi packy good job
Future PBA Hall of Famer in the making??
100% the next simo with more potential
Next illegal ball... Ice ball with saw dust!
Cher!
3:49 Is that a foul i see?
Hey i am having troubling getting touch with the sales email address for exchanges on merchandise sizes .
Thanks
What do they call “Brooklyn” in New Zealand?
Brooklyn
Its called Brooklyn my friend!
F
You have been sharing way to many secrets with others bowlers!! And it shows!! Lol
why does he sound like hes from the UK
Given our pretty bad New Zealand accent, I’ll take that as a compliment!
@@benpettitbowlinghahaha! I honestly had to double check you were from New Zealand, I’m around London and your accent is 100% British 😅
Ayeeeee cmon bro thats my boy ❤️ @Ben Pettit
Kids rev rate looks like 800!!!😶🌫️
It’s high for sure!
Ù
So he flew 20 hours to beat you on your channel lol?
That’s dedication
1:23
pretty badass
#GOBEAVERS
He was there for Wichita state bowling camp
Purple dont fit your hand now?
Didn’t bring one down there with me!
First comment!
You're not that good 😂
Always getting a little better day by day!
Somebody tell me when 2 handed bowling began. I haven't watched pro bowling for about 30years. Who started it and why? It looks likea really awkward approach and release. What,s purpose?
Chuck Landy was someone that bowled 2 handed back in the 80s. There is a doco about it. Belmo popularised it in the early 2000s. Along with Osku and Simo
First
Bowling isn't new to New Zealand so how is a kid the best the country has to offer?
Practice and dedication. Ben puts a stupid amount of work into his game.
NZ had a lot of 210+ avg tournament bowlers. Ben just avgs 220/230 for fun on sport shots
The is some centres that for them running it is for the public and not for the league bowlers. Talking about super low oil volumes. Techs that can’t tell if the machine has put oil on the lane. No preventative maintenance. Old machines. Then there is the centre that Ben bowls at. Owned and operated by an experienced NZ representative bowler who knows bowling and they have got it right. We need more like him running centres
Bowling is a super niche sport in NZ. There isn't really many of us who actually bowl competively.
Lmao at 2 handed cheats
God is good but I would not use his name in vain like that
number one ranked bowler? is he out of school yet? I guarantee you there is someone better with more experience
not in new zealand if he's ranked #1
i remember when i was in a bowling league from 11-13,, ALMOST good enough to bowl with adults, and
one thing i remember the most is the way you guys are bowling were considered like the 20 year old or
the guy that was "too old to still be bowling" at the bowling alley in this town, trying to look "strong/cool"
then i'd watch PBA and remember it wasn't allowed to bowl like that...
then a few years ago i turn on the TV and first thing i see is a dude bowling like that and idk why...
i don't understand the point because you can get just as much curve with middle/ring + thumb
and you can put the weight inside the bowling ball to curve that much... plus the way you roll it. so I'm
extremely confused by this style of bowling. it looks like its going to cause tremendous back problems
later on in life... seriously.
however, i am asking a genuine question because i wasn't joking. NO ONE did this in the PBA, and they
were averaging close to 300. i wish i could remember names from 20 some years ago but there was
this one guy that was ALWAYS 1 to 3 strikes from hitting 300, the other frames would be spares or god
forbid they get the deadliest 7-10. which, amazingly, i've also seen be taken down in PBA a few times.
but i can only remember ONE distinct time and it was one of the coolest things i had seen.
you gotta understand when i was younger, the only few things to do in this small ass town, back when
people HAD MONEY to even go out to do anything that didn't involve "getting into trouble" or "doin work"
if you follow, there was an outdoor theatre (packed every weekend, which was the only time it opened for
2 days, MAYBE 3? i'm not 100% on sunday) then there was a Skating Rink and Bowling Alley (owned by
the same guy, went to school with his daughter). My dad got me into bowling.
Back in the day you could drink beer and smoke at the lanes. then they phased out smoking AT the lanes
to smoking AT the bowling ball rack which was just 10 feet back from the seats/scoreboard table...
which i USED to know how to keep score on pencil and paper but fk me, not anymore, once they switched
to digital score keeping it's like i tilted my head and all that information fell out lol... so that's just another
question (1: Why do so many MORE people roll balls that sideways 2 hander weird style now and
2: how the hell do you keep score if you were to use pen/paper or pencil/paper)
We also have a regular movie theatre. Hell, I remember before the SUPER Wally world (walmart) was just
a REGULAR one. we really are a "small 'big city'" according to the demographics.
We have between 13-14k sometimes 15k people living here but there's ... quite literally nothing to do.
When i was down and out, I talked to the girl's dad that i went to school with, got a job working for him,
since i grew up bowling, application was for bowling alley, and that didn't go well.
He literally drug tested me and sent me to the PoS Skating Rink where it was just a big ass day-care
where WE weren't allowed to do anything in terms of discipline... so single moms of 8 kids by 8 diff dudes
would just drop them off there all damn day and they'd be absolutely wild and wouldn't LISTEN to anything.
I'd be nice all day shift and night shift long but it didn't matter.... when you're swarmed by 5-8 kids at the
food counter (where you get candy, drinks, pizza slices [or you used to be able to, i don't think they even had
those anymore] but man ole dude's businesses were tanking before he screwed me over and his employees
lied on my name).
First, he MADE me get a drug test to work at that skating rink, when I told him i had no desire to work there,
I wanted to work at the bowling alley I GREW UP AT. Being a small town, being i went to school from Pre-K
to 12th with his kid, you'd think he'd place me at the bowling alley... no drug test. either way I passed cuz
i wasn't doing drugs like EVERYONE THOUGHT. not even smoking weed... what i DID NOT know was that
once you went to take your drug test, you had X amount of time to do it or you'd have to go back to your
potential employer and get another form and he told me he's spend over $200 ($240 total since they're $120/ea)
just hiring me... I think that's why he stuck me over there OPENING the EXTERIOR DOOR. I was a "glorified"
doorman for little kids. They'd get mad at me for BEING OUTSIDE in sometimes single digit weather and having
a cigarette which, i DID ask him, "is it ok to have a cigarette outside? if NO ONE is around, would that be a problem?"
He said "I don't see why not."
Well when you put a cigarette out that you're not done smoking, it does have a hint of seeds'n'stem old ass pot.
the kind that i haven't seen in 15-18 yrs... so naturally, the obese white lady who thought she was gods gift to earth
would go to boss man and tell him I would come in ALL the time smelling like pot... even though i passed a drug
test. Then they hired ANOTHER GUY and on his FIRST DAY in the skate shoe room, he legit asks me, "you smoke?
i got that killer dank." and ole dude was REEKING OF IT. if he walked somewhere, it left a trail behind him.
now i got NOTHING against pot. my problem was and still is being accused of doing something i didn't do AND
NOT doing something that I DID DO (i.e. staying drug free, including pot when this bitch said i was coming in
high and smelling like weed... when they literally just hired a pot head dealer). that's when it all started.
Easiest way to settle that would be to drug test me and then fire her lying ass.
She also complained that I spent "too much time outside." -- uh that was MY JOB according to the boss.
"Stand outside and open the door for the dozen or so guests we get for the weekends..." he didn't say a # but
that was literally what it was... 10-12 people would show up and like i said all kids.... it wasn't like it was back
in the day, JAM PACKED wall to wall, girls everywhere, switching gf's every weekend or every other.
shuffle skating was so much fun on quads. especially if you had a line of people doing it. the frontman would
throw a hand signal and we'd have these moves memorized and it was just fun as hell.
contests, like "shoot-the-duck" where you'd go around and get as much speed as possible and then go down on
one leg while extending the other leg out forward and holding it. whoever stopped last won. though we had a
lot of cheaters who would cheat 1 of 3 ways. two ways were using your rolling foot and pushing the front wheels
with your fingers once most everyone was down n out, and everyones going slllooooow trying to out frontwheel
finger push the other, aka cheater vs cheater. then someone found a spot at the far right end away from the DJ box
which was nearly ceiling high or it is, as you had to go up steps in a single story building... so you'd turn your back
to that, and finger push on the wheels cuz if any part of you touched the ground you're out.
and when someone found that top right spot on the skating floor, there was a DIP in the new foundation (idk what
you'd call it in the skating rink business but it wasn't a wooden floor) anyways, so there's a dip and it would give you
a minor boost if you were going slow, so you'd practice to know your bearings speed and at a certain point you
could line it up to hit that minor decline to get a game winning boost that was NOT noticeable by the skybox and
then even when they put judges on the floor they didn't know bout that trick but the finger pushing basically got
86'd unless you were exceptionally good at hiding it. such as this one girl wrapping her leg sometimes around her
ground foot "for balance reasons" as she tried to justified cheating meanwhile if you're infront of her you could see
those fingers pushing the front wheels like no tmrw.
another fantastic game was the "limbo game" but on skates. i think the coolest 2 wins i've seen that weren't me
was this TINY little girl who MUST have taken ballet also, she was able wrap her body up low enough and then at
a point where it was too low to do that she could do a side split and roll that way.
anyone who was older than her, which i think she was only 9 or 10 at the time and even after puberty it took a while
for her to hit a growth spurt.. only know this cuz me and her brother were close friends. she also used the cheat in
shoot-the-duck game, where in this case its "legal" i guess just so long as you didn't touch the floor with your hands,
any body part that wasn't skates, etc. she'd push one leg out in a half split, then left leg would be straight down, bent
at the knee, then pushed out to the left at the end and she'd use the front wheel push. i'll say this, i hated and loved
playing against her cuz she was legit the only competition.
since i took karate and then later tae kwon do, skateboarding, and skated quads, as well as i guess genetics?
i was extremely flexible for a guy so i could the hip movements. where the move before halfsplit was doing both hips
going out and ducking your head super low to your skates. that'd only work to the 4,5,6. once at 3 you'd have to pull
off some ballet miracle or some sorta split.
anyway. point is, they falsely accused me of smoking pot. never proved it. i get fired. prior to that the owner would
let me bowl as many free games as i wanted.
and since i lost my custom bowling ball from when i was in the league as a child (now working there in my early 20s)
they screwed me over by sticking at me at the skating rink... opening doors for brats. then eventually inside.
working a bit of EVERYTHING. this dude was trying to make money EVERY WAY HE COULD cuz he was sinking fast.
i'm talking to the point of selling pickles and saving the pickle juice to then put them in the ketchup paper cups right?
freeze them but you had to put a toothpick in once it was slushy status and then continue to freeze it until 100%.
they sold for 50cent, called "pickle pops" when they weren't worth anything above a dime... they sold the most.
back in MY DAY when we went, you could order 1-2 slices of tombestone pizza, a drink, and something else, can't
remember, i think fries (since that seems the most logical) or POPCORN that's right. they had SO MANY OPTIONS
back then man... and like i said, that place was bumpin. it was the place to be in the 80s and 90s and early 00s.
but around 2005-2008 is when it tanked.
i wish when i was working there, i still had my own custom bowling ball and bowling shoes like i did when i was
in the league, not even children's league, youth-adult league since my AVG was 163 and i'd hit 200 on occasion.
my BAD days would be 120-140, good days 140-170, amazing days 170-200. hit 200 half a dozen times at 12-13.
then we lost everything (family stuff won't go into)
but they got their karma - the business owner
once they wrongfully terminated me without drug testing me, hired a drug dealer who came in smelling like REAL POT
not a snuffed out cig... oh and as for "talking to ppl outside" i was NEVER on my phone like her fatass was 24/7 all shift
she'dliterally sit in the sky box / dj booth.
never saw her work anything but her arm to eat and other arm to use phone. never seen her clean, cook, or handle registers.
they literally hired a drug dealer after i passed a drug test. STAYED able to pass drug test the entire time i was there cuz
i did NOT wanna give up FREE BOWLING, are you kidding? that was my dream as a kid, to get to bowl for free.
sadly i had to use house balls and house shoes (gross).
whenever i'd go to the bowling alley... the MOST people there would either be birthdays for 5 year olds....
or senior citizen league...
when we had league days/nights (the league days would be ALL DAY and sometimes into the evening and rarely into the night)
then League Night were for tournaments, 3 days in a row. Fri/Sat/Sun
Within 2 weeks of firing me with no notice, no legitimate reason, they went out of business at not just the skating rink,
but also the bowling alley. And damnit, third time i've brought up the "talking aspect" - PART of my door opening job was to
"welcome / greet people, say have a good time, be safe, yada yada yada." The only time I deviated was when someone ASKED
a question and I'd answer it. Just so happened the one time that EVER happened the ole bitch came out and said "You NEED to
GET BACK TO WORK!"
There were less people in there than i have fingers... we had more staff than skaters... like wtf work am i doing? Opening doors
for NO ONE? But i remembered it was closing time so she meant take out the trash. For whatever reason the trashcans were
on the OPPOSITE end of the ENTIRE parking lot... which whatever, free work out and np. they were LIGHT compared to EVERY
kitchen i've worked for... but what pissed me off the most, as i've said a million times, was losing the free bowling. second only
to NOT working at the bowling alley where i wanted to work, where i applied to work, where the owner knew i LOVED that place..
Cuz not only was I in the league, my oldman was in a league too... we even did the father-son league and kicked ass. Bothered me
so much he shoved me at a place notoriously known for little brats and he fell victim to the rumor mill about me.... which is
down right PATHETIC for a grown ass man with children my age, early-mid 20s... so sad.
Now the bowling alley is called something else (we used to have the coolest name since we live in NC aka North Carolina) and
it was called "Carolina Lanes." may not be cool to you or you or the next person but i liked it. showed pride in our state and
whatever.
moving on... i miss the old days. so much.
What the fuck
Here I thought Packy only bowled like CRAP! on a Nat title televised event heheheheheHA! as with Shawn Rash & Belmo he gets on the little Joe from Kokamo & runs the tournament WOW! Packey GREAT Nat title you WOW! that is Packy's 1st NAT title its a KEEPER for sure. GREAT bowling Packy! 2023!
Hmmmmm I wonder if this kid has money😂😂😂😂😂 must be nice has his own press and drills his own stuff hahaha
If you listened to him, you hear him say one of his coaches gave him a drill press that was an extra.
I’m blessed to have parents that support me with my passion!
@@benpettit2894 You've got a bright future young man. Keep up the good work!
