Medium or medium-high end balls are so good if you are learning how to bowl better since they can do the work for you down lane When is Lance getting his own new ball I want to see that zen soul in his hand ball will be a nut for him
Always look forward to your new videos! Really love the work you guys have been doing, and would love to see a Trios League with Darren, Jesse and Lance!
I like to give my grape surge a good sniff before throwing it. I recently gave it a heavy polish and downgraded it from strike ball to ball meant to take down the 10 pin
I think a cool series you could do with league is start off with only beginner or spare balls in your bag, all drilled different and set a goal score with them and upgrade a ball per episode. Like a rags to riches
Loving the info on this. I am trying to get into bowling more than I am and have been looking at what the right ball might be for my first "pro" ball. This has helped to narrow things down.
The tropical surge is only like $50 less than my 3 strike balls that hook like 2 times as much and have crazy continuation. Radical Trailblazer Solid, Radical Incognito Pearl, and a Sneak Attack Hybrid
I have both balls. The tropical surge is my old ball which I now use as a spare ball, and the electrify ball is my strike/normal ball:) I throw 2 handed and love the balls
I actual have the tropical surge and Im a beginner i like the ball it’s more of a straight ball ball if you roll a little more slower it hooks way more some guy told me about it
Keep uploading you give me hope I just started bowling 4months ago and I bowled my highest off your tips it was a 209 I know trash but I’m getting there
Dude, that's not trash, that'd crazy good, progressing that much in 4 months is bonkers. I'm getting into it myself but my highest game is 155 and I'm inconsistent
As to, "What Hit It?" in game three, slowed it down, and the nine came off the back at the same time the six love tapped it. Would have gone either way. Great release. - C
awesome video. great to see those week balls in the hand of a pro. Lance shows you what league is all about.. just throw and have fun. relax and enjoy and laugh
Next theme night : Balls 2020 and before (Old School Night), Nuclear Cell should be included in the arsenal. I think it's safe to say in the 100K give away, the Tropical Surge and Electrify G/O will be included
Tbh with me I end up buying cheaper bowling balls which could be considered beginner balls, but I only get those cause I play 2 finger 1 hand release and the rev rate is so high that anytime I use anything else everything hooks to the point where for me to hook less I feel like I'm releasing the ball straight
"Two brothers from Seattle want to challenge you to a match! Nick and myself have some ideas on format to make a fair match and a fun video. FYI, we are both 200+ average bowlers. Challenge Extended! Challenge Accepted??"
This is the other half of the brother combo. Would love to for this challenge to be accepted. I did get the Hyped solely because of you and would like to show it off!!!
I'm up in the PNW too and wanted to challenge him as well. But I'm still a "fresh" bowler of about 16 months after a 25 year break. My Conditions for Darren were he has to bowl LEFTY in either 1 or 2 hand form.
hey darren, i love your vids and I have a question about my bowling skills. i seem to get the hook properly but I cant get enough power to make sure it goes to the 135 pins, as it usually just curves to the 7pin :( it would be amazing if u would give me some tips :D
Change hand position on ball, speed up approach, increase swing height, or use a less agressive ball. Before all this make sure you lanes arent just dry. Also stand more left of the headpin. Try out all of these and see what works from lane to lane.
Definitely increase swing height. Move the ball a bit further away from your chest as you hold it and your natural swing arc will get you a bit more swing going back and a bit more power going forward
I bowl with a Motiv Freestyle Rush, I've got good motion and control now, but I can't get comfortable with the ball. I feel like beginner balls only help the people trying to learn a hook, and only hurt the ones who need to open their angles more.
I agree pay a little more for a bowling ball unless it's a hustle hands down I believe it's the best bang for the buck. Such a weird video seeing Darren struggle.
Yooo Darren I be watching your videos. Used ah couple tips I picked up from you and made it to states for Florida, just got the top seed for my district and gonna be looking forward to my first experience with states, though I've done things like junior gold this is gonna be new to me. Wish me the best of luck🙏🏾💯
Question I want to start bowling as a hobby but I don’t know if it’s worth buying my own stuff… is a beginner ball worth buying or should I just go to a more expensive option
What do you recommend of getting back into the basics of Bowling? I’m trying to get back into it. I bought a t-zone ball I was just wondering if it’s any good before I get a drilled
I wish i could get my tropical surge to hook like that. It was the ball i bought when i got back into bowling (recommend by the old man running the shop), within 3 months I bought the black widow legend and made my tropical surge my spare ball due to the lack of ball reaction. I'm a 150avg bowler with my black widow. Both balls were drilled by different people (both were old timers that didn't ask me my pap, look at me bowl, nothing. I regret not going to a place that does). The guy that sold and drilled my tropical surge said it would be better to have a plastic ball that goes straight and strikes than a ball that hooks but doesn't strike. WTF? In no universe does that scenario exsist. These old heads that competed in the 70s have no concept of the new tec and how the game has changed. I have a brand new summit I'm waiting to get drilled by a better shop, I needed a better symmetrical ball with a higher hook potential that was stronger going through the pins and would be great on a house shot. The tropical storm was disappointing. And my legend needs more oil than a typical house shot, otherwise it loses too much power when rounds the corner and leaves flat.
so im looking to get my first ball and have been very inspired by D. Tang and was wondering what weight you use and would suggest. please comment (anyone with any knowledge would be much appreciated)
+1 more sub toward your goal! I need to get back into bowling - I used to bowl a ton in my younger years (not great, about 165 average in league) and keep thinking about getting back into it.
For someone that started bowling with the Tropical Surge and liked it, but wants to upgrade, what would you suggest? I've been looking at the higher end Storm balls, but have no idea what to go for.
Talk to your pro shop if you can. Without knowing your style recommending a ball can be a shot in the dark. Talking to the person that will also be drilling it can be very helpful.
I love the tropical surge for dry conditions, its pretty much my go to for smooth controlled curve with just enough reaction to get the shots i want in dry conditions. I absolutely hate it on oily conditions. When the lane is oily, you have a better chance of winning the lottery while getting struck by lightning while simultaneously fornicating with the now late queen of England than you would just getting the damn thing to do anything but go straight or straight over the edge. Bowled super oily conditions today with my storm when i told the lanes would be dry (the owner decided to oil today and they just opened right before i got there so it ended up being the exact opposite of what i was expecting to practice on. every shot i bowled went straight for the channel. By game two i figured out the only two ways i was going to be able to strike on the lane was backup balls and Brooklyn entries. I slowed my approach and used the swing to generate my power, moved a couple boards off center, and dumped every last rev i could into the ball. Finally i started striking. Still not something consistent tho. Made todays practice feel like a massive waste of my time and energy.
I have learned so much from watching Darren Tangs videos this person deserves a million followers he is an incredible Pro bowler who is down to earth and is an amazing person in my opinion.
When I think of sloppy strikes I think of Brooklyns or just like crazy weird carry type of strikes. But hitting them light and having it carry I never really considered “sloppy”. 🤷🏼♂️
I am a true beginner and im looking for a good starting ball from one of the storm brands? Im leaning towards tropical surge or the Hy Road Pearl. I also have people telling dont buy tropical surge get something like the original Zen or Hyped solid. i dont really know which of them is the best option i dont know how to hook im trying to learn
Get a Hyroad. Easily the most controllable ball Storm has made in the last 15-20 years. Even better idea tho, put a lot of surface on your spare ball and play straight up the gutter with it. A lot of bowlers learn how to hook a ball the absolute wrong way and a spare ball with surface (The Spy by Radical is the best of these btw) will show you through its motion what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong.
Hyroad or hyped are great balls you can learn with one of them and use it for awhile! You'd grow out of the surge quickly, I learned to hook a bowling ball by throwing a football like a bowling ball and trying to throw a spiral
@@SirJoelsuf1 Thanks that kind of makes since so dont get the tropical surge or the original zen. I might just go with one of these 2 original Hy road or the Hy Road pearl just trying to get a great starting ball
Nice to see even a pro like you can be a stubborn ass sometimes and not give in to changing things earlier and just keep doing the same thing hoping for different results xD Blown quite a few "what would've been great" series and wound up with just okay series for the night. BTW Subbed 👍
10:09 "Here's the problem with throwing weak balls...when they start hooking too much. I feel like I have to make them hook because they don't want to hook on their own. Because they don't flare very much I'm making it hook. And, that has forced me into the part of the lane I don't want to be. But, I don't trust the hook on its own because it doesn't flare enough."
Darren , love the Leauge night videos!! Thank’s to everyone behind the cameras to capture your videos. New shirt idea for you , “ I like nice racks “ 😂😂😂
I like how much they strike come back and go “man I missed one half board left”
Exactly fam, like Im satisfied with a brooklyn or a totally lucky strike
@@sabushi9283 i am with ya on that , if all ten go down I’ am happy.
“I’m making a thumb change” I imagine Darren being a robot, taking his thumb off and replacing it with a new one 😂
Man Jessie .. the quality of these videos has just gotten OUTSTANDING!!! .. you do such an awesome job!! .. fantastic!
I never knew I could enjoy watching bowling so much. Thank you so much you guys for the fun, light hearted videos.
If you don't hit 100,000 subscribers, you gotta give Lance 100 bowling balls
FACTS
Make it realistic. 10 bowling balls😂
This aged well
That was interesting. I just want a ball I can have engraved "Darren paid for this" 😂
Another week of league, another chance for me to post this message: “Darren + Jesse + Lance = Trios league next year”! Thank you! ❤
Just keep asking until we get it. 🤞🏽
I love my tropical surge. I don't have the revs like Darren so I can't hook it like this but it's great for when I'm playing straighter
It's a fantastic ball for house shots! At a great price lol can't go wrong
Medium or medium-high end balls are so good if you are learning how to bowl better since they can do the work for you down lane When is Lance getting his own new ball I want to see that zen soul in his hand ball will be a nut for him
Darren: "...I'm making a thumb change, I don't like that thumb!" 🤣
Always look forward to your new videos! Really love the work you guys have been doing, and would love to see a Trios League with Darren, Jesse and Lance!
So I wore my "Feel Good Bowl Good" shirt for the first time in league yesterday and shot my first ever 600 series in a 3 game league..!
Shirt Idea: messenger-pin knocking over a 10 pin or something from behind with the phrase "Hit it from the back". People love innuendo.
I like to give my grape surge a good sniff before throwing it. I recently gave it a heavy polish and downgraded it from strike ball to ball meant to take down the 10 pin
I just like how the tropical surge looks and the vanilla smell that’s why I wanna get it
I think a cool series you could do with league is start off with only beginner or spare balls in your bag, all drilled different and set a goal score with them and upgrade a ball per episode. Like a rags to riches
I have a question! Why does every pro shoot like 300s in warmup and then go so low in matches? Is it nerves?
Loving the info on this. I am trying to get into bowling more than I am and have been looking at what the right ball might be for my first "pro" ball. This has helped to narrow things down.

Yo lance man, let him teach one night an work on your steps an swings . Love this year's League night, keep up the amazing work y'all all do 💪🙏🤘
Love the pace of playing doubles.
I love the smell of the tropical surge
Keep uploading you give me hope I just started bowling 4months ago and I bowled my highest off your tips it was a 209 I know trash but I’m getting there
Dude, that's not trash, that'd crazy good, progressing that much in 4 months is bonkers. I'm getting into it myself but my highest game is 155 and I'm inconsistent
The curve of the ball is so beautiful, when it gets down the line and just hits the pins like a grenade just explosion 💥
As to, "What Hit It?" in game three, slowed it down, and the nine came off the back at the same time the six love tapped it. Would have gone either way. Great release. - C
awesome video. great to see those week balls in the hand of a pro. Lance shows you what league is all about.. just throw and have fun. relax and enjoy and laugh

Love the videos Darren. It was amazing meeting you last year.
"Two brothers from Seattle want to challenge you to a match! Nick and myself have some ideas on format to make a fair match and a fun video. FYI, we are both 200+ average bowlers. Challenge Extended! Challenge Accepted??"
I would actually like to see this
This is the other half of the brother combo. Would love to for this challenge to be accepted. I did get the Hyped solely because of you and would like to show it off!!!
I'm up in the PNW too and wanted to challenge him as well. But I'm still a "fresh" bowler of about 16 months after a 25 year break. My Conditions for Darren were he has to bowl LEFTY in either 1 or 2 hand form.
This would be MUST SEE TV 📺 give these guys a shot!!
I love the G/O ball, was thinking of buying one, though I’m probably past that level of ball. ???
That’s so funny, I literally just started 269, 170, 247 last night lol. I was hoping you’d go 247 3rd game
9:55-10:04 was a highlight reel moment for Lance, exquisite
hey darren, i love your vids and I have a question about my bowling skills. i seem to get the hook properly but I cant get enough power to make sure it goes to the 135 pins, as it usually just curves to the 7pin :( it would be amazing if u would give me some tips :D

What weight are you using Darren Tang in the beginner balls?
I think he throws 15 for all his balls
I agree pay a little more for a bowling ball unless it's a hustle hands down I believe it's the best bang for the buck. Such a weird video seeing Darren struggle.
Some times, you just need a ball that isn't going to over hook on dry lanes. "Beginner balls" are perfect for that. Hustle, Surge etc.
This week at league I missed the 7 pin 4 times after not missing one for over a month. I get it Lance, don't let it get in your head though!
@loren Jones i have a question.....
hey can we have a video on how you run and throw you're so consistent with the throw I'd like to learn it
Yooo Darren I be watching your videos. Used ah couple tips I picked up from you and made it to states for Florida, just got the top seed for my district and gonna be looking forward to my first experience with states, though I've done things like junior gold this is gonna be new to me. Wish me the best of luck🙏🏾💯

that surge looks sick when it transitions... looks like an invis, with a green center! kinda want one! :D great vid!
For someone that started bowling with the Tropical Surge and liked it, but wants to upgrade, what would you suggest? I've been looking at the higher end Storm balls, but have no idea what to go for.

would be awesome to see next week. Darren using the Hustle USA and the Hustle Camo or at some nite..
I shot 740 in Orlando, FL at the Lady Anchor last year with Purple Tropical Surge.
#getlancenewequipment let's start the movement!
Have only two balls - one for wet and one for dry - with a mechanical round curve to the pocket - not a hook.
That 9 pin says it all.
Lance, how is your nuclear cell ball drilled? I tried mine again bc of you. It still fails. Would love to make it work.
I have learned so much from watching Darren Tangs videos this person deserves a million followers he is an incredible Pro bowler who is down to earth and is an amazing person in my opinion.
When I think of sloppy strikes I think of Brooklyns or just like crazy weird carry type of strikes. But hitting them light and having it carry I never really considered “sloppy”. 🤷🏼♂️
Darren is the only guy who hits a strike and says that’s wasn’t good like huhhhhh lol
Is the Hy-Road pearl both a beginner ball and mid range ball due to its GOAT status?
This is essentially how every night of bowling is for me. Maybe I need a new ball.
I am a true beginner and im looking for a good starting ball from one of the storm brands? Im leaning towards tropical surge or the Hy Road Pearl.

What would you say is the next step up from a Tropical Surge?
every day jessie doesn't come back to bowl is another day i won't eat
I want someone to bring a sloppy Joe and be like, "the sloppier the better" 😆
this is great!! 😂 😂 Billy Madison 😂
Nice to see even a pro like you can be a stubborn ass sometimes and not give in to changing things earlier and just keep doing the same thing hoping for different results xD Blown quite a few "what would've been great" series and wound up with just okay series for the night.

100k is coming!!! Let’s go guys!
Any tips for a two handed bowler that wants to try out for there highschool team

A bowling ball made of tungsten would weight ~ 223.611 (not taking the holes into account) ((unless my napkin math was wrong))
How heavy is your ball?
Is a rhino better than these or the same??
What bowling alley is this?
Wanted the shirts but do u send overseas to Singapore?
Let’s gooo, league night!!
New shirt design idea: a finger pressing the nut button and in the background pins are flying around like someone is striking
Maybe I have missed it but what is your teamname?
Darren, what is your average ball speed?
Whats ypur thoughts on the 900 global Zen U
What ball is Lance throwing?
When are y'all starting to give away bowling balls I hope I can get one 🙏🏾😁
Woah Electrify GO looks great off your hand Darren!
As a two handed righty beginning bowler, what would be a good ball to start off with?
A ball that's been around for a while that you won't replace down the road. HyRoad pearl, Hyroad, IQ solid, Hype Solid, Phaze 2, Venom Shock, etc.
I agree with Lance... " I *BLEEP* hate it" too
15:58 get me everytime
Wasn't lace supposed to get a ball from Darren
Let’s gooooo, 100K!!
Hello Darren! I live in Antioch,ca. I would like to have you help me improve my game if and when you might have time. What are your rates?
Join his discord. He has rates posted there. I paid $40 or so for a half hour of virtual coaching. Definitely worth it.
I see it now, the new merch is going to have a shirt that reads: Hit it from the back!
Can you post that bowling ball out to Malaysia?🔥❤️
OK, ol boy can't make a ten pin. He just has to parallel couple arrows to the left and he will make them all. You can do it!!!! I have faith!
That Electrify, looks dope af
Whts the music playin???
Whenever i would throw a supposed “beginner ball” they always outhooked my top tier balls. Major skid/flip issues
does lance have an instagram?
@lancejackson
15:57 started the 😂 for me
I feel like "Hit it from the back!" should be a new T-shirt!!!
Cool video talk tech bowling Darren tang
Darren , love the Leauge night videos!! Thank’s to everyone behind the cameras to capture your videos.
New shirt idea for you , “ I like nice racks “ 😂😂😂
