It was great bowling against Darren. I was nervous starting out. I can't believe we were giving them pins. Darren, it was great watching you close up. What a pro bowler.
As a PBA card holder bowling league on a 5 man team... Its tough to focus on yourself and everyone else. Guys ask "what should I do?" And its tough because their execution isn't consistent. I just point them in the area they need to be with which ball and tell them to execute the shot. Tournaments are kinda nice because I can focus on myself haha. Great content Darren!
So, I've found my way to the channel fairly recently, and having watched all the current league videos, I've been slowly wading through some of the older content. LOVE all the analytics and critiques of this particular night! So educational for those of us just starting out. Maybe bring back some of the analytics in the newer videos! Of course, with Lance, it's all about the comedic relief lol. Thanks for putting these out there!
I'll say this much, as someone who just started bowling league again after 9 years away, finding these videos by RUclips recommendations has been a blessing. Darren has made bowling fun for me again. Which may not make sense but it's how it feels to me.
I know you are trying different balls each week for different scenarios but if you were to throw your normal stuff which balls would you throw. Always a pleasure to see your videos and how smooth and effortless it seems for you.
it was so awesome how you were helping your friend during league, i sometimes need that. ive been a 120+ league bowler for around 3 of my 6 years of bowling.
Can't make it there by the end of your season, but I'll be there in January for the Military Championship, I'll stop by the pro shop, maybe run into you guys. Good stuff as always.
Again watching this after I bowled league tonight. Shot a 655 with a 196, 256, and 203. On a 181 average currently so that will go up. Pretty good week!
You know that Zen had a ton of surface on it when it looks more like the Reality when you are in the middle of your shot! If you are taking ball requests I’d love to see some league play with that!
What's up! I don't know if you remember me, but my name is Ryan Nakasu and I bowled in the junior/adult league in Reno with you and your brother a long time ago. Nice to see you're doing well!
i always need to laugh when you do the HITITHARDERYEAH Meme... XD I know its not a meme i watch his Channel too but the way Darren says it just makes me crack up.. xD
Pretty cool he asking question about why certain pins was left. And do you think about how you pick up your spares. I have noticed for myself. That once I go left. I need to go back right with ole faithful. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Darren i love me some pearl bowling balls. Solids are good when the lanes are calling for early read. Hybrids if you need just a little more length. But pearls are more of my go too.
It was a shame I couldn’t make it to the epicenter while you were in Oregon. Can’t wait for the next time you’re here. I’ll be signing up for that tournament for sure!
When you say “super slow wheel” what is your speed reading at the pins? Typically 13ish at the pins when I’m hooking 10 or more boards is normal for me but I’m sure that’s very slow for pros
Next week Darren you should only use urethane. Bring out the pitch black, pitch purple and fast pitch. That aside it's cool to see how much you are helping your partner. I know when I was 18-19 and PBA pros took the time to help me out on the lanes it was invaluable for me.
This made me feel better about my bowling lol .. I bowl on house pattern for leagues, but yall only had 2 players... we have 4-6 person teams on each lane so it is extremely hard as the lane is different on every frame after 6 people so I always get down on myself struggling to stay in the 190-200+ range
I love the Crux pearl by Storm, but the senior league I bowl in has changed the pattern. Now I find it almost impossible to score with it. Looking to go to a Black Rino Urethane.
I think you should just throw it on a 300 game. All resetting will do is make you wait extra time after already throwing two shots. Meaning you're more likely to miss. Due to psychology
I strongly disagree with that. I didn’t mean rerack just for psychological advantage; I meant when the rack is bad. In the video, Darren scoffs at the idea of reracking during league, even though it’s a terrible rack, which I totally understand. I was just curious at what point someone like him would actually rerack a bad rack in league. Like let’s say you’ve got front 35 going for 900 and the rack comes down bad - obviously you’d rerack that.
darn I'd love to do this. I don't even know where to look for bowling leagues etc in the UK, and just to go play for fun is super expensive! £20 for 2 games where I live.
Without going into detail, the glove protects my bad left-hand. I wear a golf glove on my right hand to warm up in practice. I tried bowling with a golf glove last year, like Pete Weber but it wasn't eas y. I have bad arthritis in one of my right fingers.
Strongly disagree. You can get away with it on THS. Do not want to hook at spares if there's any desire to shoot sport shot...period. 34ft is going to be way different than 44ft. If using a spare ball, the mark is always the same. Only spares that require hook are if there's "sleepers." E.g. double wood and 3-6-9-10. Darren's pal eventually wants to bowl sport shot so is working on throwing straight at spares.
From what I’ve heard it’s a good ball for beginners, hooks a fair amount. I’d suggest looking up review videos for the ball on RUclips, I know there are some!
I feel like people hate on me when I get excited after missing/hitting a shot. Like, the ball isn't doing what I want, so of course I'm gonna get animated. Not in a league, I just take bowling as a hobby serious.

I really like this! A pro finding ways to attack a league shot. Ill apply this info to my game!

strikes: man that was horrible I just don't know how to fix that
strikes again: ya this is just horrible
Good Lord...they were definitely hot boss. I almost thought we would see you throwing the ball from the international terminal at McCarran. 😂😂

All jokes aside Darren is such a positive influence in my life.So glad to have found you.
it was so awesome how you were helping your friend during league, i sometimes need that. ive been a 120+ league bowler for around 3 of my 6 years of bowling.
9:53 The counterpart to 'juuuust a bit outside'
I love watching as the lanes progress. I feel like it is helping me watching what you do to adjust. Can’t wait for next weeks League vid!
6:49 the guy on the left tho 🤣🤣🤣
Love watching your league bowling 🎳
Can't make it there by the end of your season, but I'll be there in January for the Military Championship, I'll stop by the pro shop, maybe run into you guys. Good stuff as always.
You two should do an episode where Jessie bowls One handed.And Darren does 2 handed.Or maybe you did.Either way Best RUclips Channel Hands Down. 😀😃🙂🙃😊
Again watching this after I bowled league tonight. Shot a 655 with a 196, 256, and 203. On a 181 average currently so that will go up. Pretty good week!
What app do you guys use to keep track of stats and averages?
What app was your editor using to find His statistics
Look at all those balls….bowling is freaking expensive.
You know that Zen had a ton of surface on it when it looks more like the Reality when you are in the middle of your shot! If you are taking ball requests I’d love to see some league play with that!
love how he says omg and it's still a good ball
"it probably isn’t as small as you think it is..."
LUL
Hey Darren great game! I am also in Las Vegas and i just purchased the Zen ball. Any recommendations on how to use that ball to my advantage.
What's up! I don't know if you remember me, but my name is Ryan Nakasu and I bowled in the junior/adult league in Reno with you and your brother a long time ago. Nice to see you're doing well!
How are the conditions there when the tournament isn’t going on?
Welcome to the wonderful world of the House shot Cliff!!
What happened to lane courtesy 1:10 😂
Been using my fastpitch as a spare ball lately .... Especially when bowling elsewhere....
which ball did he throw 20:22
Love watching these. Which casino is that?
what spare ball does jesse use?
i always need to laugh when you do the HITITHARDERYEAH Meme... XD I know its not a meme i watch his Channel too but the way Darren says it just makes me crack up.. xD
I laughed out loud at that. I love Jason Eubanks.
How dou you guys track your stats? Just type them out, or do you have some app for it?
You guys make it look so good what's what's the best pearl ball
I love re watching these
I'm learning a lot from you guys! Cheers!
That guy looks funny bowling w/ a face shield on
"There's no such thing as pressure, its all in your head."
Pretty cool he asking question about why certain pins was left. And do you think about how you pick up your spares. I have noticed for myself. That once I go left. I need to go back right with ole faithful. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also the kid at 6:50, next time just throw it straight at the corner pins. A single pin spare isn't the time to try a backup ball
Do they use a specific app to track scores?
Darren i love me some pearl bowling balls. Solids are good when the lanes are calling for early read. Hybrids if you need just a little more length. But pearls are more of my go too.
It was a shame I couldn’t make it to the epicenter while you were in Oregon. Can’t wait for the next time you’re here. I’ll be signing up for that tournament for sure!
I love them. Dynamic duo
Love seeing the Maryland mask we really do love our state flag
Thank you, I'm glad you like my Maryland flag mask but i hate wearing the the darn thing.
2:07 I feel you are now obligated to do that the next time you are on a televised game.
What app is Jesse using for his bowling stats?
ha.. that right said fred clip !!!! Good stuff Darren
When you say “super slow wheel” what is your speed reading at the pins? Typically 13ish at the pins when I’m hooking 10 or more boards is normal for me but I’m sure that’s very slow for pros
I'm in this league also. I play you guys on the October 19th.
Protesting urethane balls? Those conditions seem prime
Next week Darren you should only use urethane. Bring out the pitch black, pitch purple and fast pitch. That aside it's cool to see how much you are helping your partner. I know when I was 18-19 and PBA pros took the time to help me out on the lanes it was invaluable for me.

What app are they using for pin tracking.
Pin pal
What is the bowling app y’all are using?
They are using pin pal
Have you ever dealt with a cracked ball and have you ever repaired one? Im a first time league bowler and my only ball is cracked how do i fix it
How are you guys doing in standings
I love the Crux pearl by Storm, but the senior league I bowl in has changed the pattern. Now I find it almost impossible to score with it. Looking to go to a Black Rino Urethane.
The HIH reference was great.
It’s nice to watch Darren bowl up the 10 board like I do every week. #straighterIsGreater
Darren,
Would you rerack in league on front 11? What about like front 30? Where’s the cutoff here?
I think you should just throw it on a 300 game. All resetting will do is make you wait extra time after already throwing two shots. Meaning you're more likely to miss. Due to psychology
I strongly disagree with that. I didn’t mean rerack just for psychological advantage; I meant when the rack is bad.

I was just curious at what point someone like him would actually rerack a bad rack in league. Like let’s say you’ve got front 35 going for 900 and the rack comes down bad - obviously you’d rerack that.
I have my entry for the contest you didn’t know you were having: “You’re gonna like the way I bowl, I Darrentee it.”
Can I haz free ball?
What good ball I already selected two purple hammer and storm physix
darn I'd love to do this. I don't even know where to look for bowling leagues etc in the UK, and just to go play for fun is super expensive! £20 for 2 games where I live.
Darren, you wanna bowl pot games after league next week? 😂
😆 why is the guy on the other team wearing two gloves?
Without going into detail, the glove protects my bad left-hand. I wear a golf glove on my right hand to warm up in practice. I tried bowling with a golf glove last year, like Pete Weber but it wasn't eas
y. I have bad arthritis in one of my right fingers.
Im 13 and bowl a 165 avg is that good?
I have a challenge for you during league. You can only use the same ball as Jesse. You can change ball unless Jesse does.
ZEN BALL GOOOOOD
Straight ball is great for single pin spares. However, I always throw a slight hook at multiple pin spares!
Strongly disagree. You can get away with it on THS. Do not want to hook at spares if there's any desire to shoot sport shot...period. 34ft is going to be way different than 44ft. If using a spare ball, the mark is always the same. Only spares that require hook are if there's "sleepers." E.g. double wood and 3-6-9-10. Darren's pal eventually wants to bowl sport shot so is working on throwing straight at spares.
I think you should bowl next week with only asymmetrical balls!
Reduce speed or the rev rate. Pearls are awesome.
Is Marshall Kent stocking you???
Nooooo the 279 starting game every week 😂.
Alright time to finish watching the video lol
I don't know why youtube decided to recommend this to me, but I do enjoy bowling this was a fun watch.
Cool video and I just got my first 300
Does anyone here have an opinion on the storm, tropical storm ball. I just bought one and I want others opinions
From what I’ve heard it’s a good ball for beginners, hooks a fair amount. I’d suggest looking up review videos for the ball on RUclips, I know there are some!
What’s the app he uses??
Pin pal
Jesse looks like he was working on his spares.
Hold up, Dtang plays pogo. I see the furfrou
Jesus, has Marshall Kent been lifting? I wonder if he throws as hard as Osku now?
Let's get a different 'Thane every game!
U r making league look harder than real PBA lol
It is
Throw the proton physics I guaranteed you'll throw 250 Darren Tang
I feel like people hate on me when I get excited after missing/hitting a shot. Like, the ball isn't doing what I want, so of course I'm gonna get animated. Not in a league, I just take bowling as a hobby serious.
Can I fly to Vegas and sub on this league for a night? Looks like a ton of fun.
I couldn't see your scores! Invitation expired?
2:05 😂😂
Marshall Kent still looks like Bond villain.
Why does he want the whole place filled to watch him foul
Ice oil !!! .. for sure
wow you have a big back swing xD
I'd like to see Darren throw only plastic...during a regional.
Darren, what's your guy's team name?
You dont want to know. Lol
Is the guy with the pony tail bowling two handed?
I think I need a shirt that says "I got 10 ... yay" on it.
I'm also really liking the league bowling vlogs, well done :)
I'll be there in November buddy
reality chit chat during league night...
Tell him to use Urethane if he doesn’t wanna use plastic
