Most brutal Pro v Am session ever. No remorse whatsoever. Good job D-Tang always got to teach your fans a lesson about trying to better than you are sometimes. Do more sessions like these because they are most enjoyable!.
These are my absolutely FAVORITE DTang videos! Smack talking, having fun, and throwing bombs. So effortless ... can't wait until I'm like 1/3 as good as you are!
I'm reading a lot of comments that are just burying this guy saying "no way he's a 210+" when I can almost guarantee half of this comment section (including me) hasn't bowled against a PROFESSIONAL BOWLER and been recorded at the same, with each of your throws either being critiqued or complimented; I would be just as nervous if this was me. cut him some slack and enjoy/learn from the video.
RIGHT!! And I get he is filming and needs to talk to keep us entertained , BUT. Come on. There is also some shit talking and that can definitely get to the head.. regardless.. GREAT VIDEO lol . **I'm new to your page. & I've already seen about 5 trip/tricks videos. THANK YOU MUCH*
How he’s 210 is wild to me. Missing his spot most of the first half Plus the dribble on release is wild. He has good rev and speed just needs more consistency in his release
Insanely walled house shots help a lot of terrible bowlers get to the 200's. Throw it with decent revs to the right side of the lane and you're likely a 200 bowler. And more revs equals even more margin of error for terrible bowlers, which is why 2 handed got popular.
Please post the lesson!! I'd love to see how you can immediately improve his game. I'm a two hander and no pro but I'm a true 210 average and uh I see things myself that I could help him with. P.S. If you ever come back to Raleigh, NC I hope I get to bowl against you, I think it'd be good content for this video series. And if not, I'm sure the lesson would be just what I need to join the tour lol
For one thing, the kid needs to learn to bend his knees. He's standing super erect and dropping the ball on the lane at the foul line. If you are a true 210 bowler I bet you don't do that. This kid looks like a 180 bowler..maybe.
I think the guy needs more knee bend and a little more spine tilt. His ball goes KATHUD! when it hits the lane. His release is also poor. As a two-hander, Darren’s ball hooked more, it shouldn’t be that way. He is not getting under the ball properly. He should watch Packy’s most recent video on that.
Oh, my. When it became obvious that a disgruntled, post-World Series Darren had taken this challenge, I figured that it would not be good for the amateur bowler.
Averaging 210 for one night apparently constitutes his only average. I'm a 190 average and throw 630-650 fairly regularly. Does that mean my average is 210-220? Nope, it's still a 190. 😂
Was thinking this. I’m sure that with the situation at hand there are nerves involved and what not but damn get me on whatever house shot he averages 210 on
@@jayc8234 it’s more like 15-16ish if they tracked it like they do on tour. The number that comes up at the screen at your local center isn’t always accurate. Compare his speed to Tomas Kahyko it’s not that different
Darren Tang you are an amazing artist and you make bowling into an art. Keep up the amazing work and if you don’t mind I really loved the vids of how to improve yourself. Thanks.
I picked up a 6-7-10 split when I was about 15 years old in league one Saturday. It was the most impressive spare conversion I've ever made, and I wasn't even thinking I'd make it. I was aiming for the 6-10 pins, thinking I'd only get 2 out of the 3. The 6 pin kicked out and shot across the lane, kicking out the 7 pin. It was very difficult to convert on, considering I'm right handed and the right side of the lane is where the majority of the pins were at. I had a stroke when I was 9 years old back in 2007, so when I started back walking again, I got into bowling. My highest ever game was a 243. I bowled 11 strikes in a row (not all in the same game). I've bowled 1 other game besides that over 200, and it was a 210. I haven't been able to bowl in the last few years on account of my health.
Darrien is getting mad hate for no reason, you think all bowlers don’t have bad games. Even on house shots, you can have a bad game, series, or if you’re like me, just an off year.
I haven't played bowling in 8 years, and I suddenly have a tournament in 2 days. I've been watching your videos for a week, and my tournament is tomorrow Thanks for all the lessons you gave me (indirectly), wish me luck tomorrow !
This is the difference when you can bowl with your friends vs. bowling under pressure. His ball is hooking super early, he’s dropping it on release, missing easy spares.
No shot that kit shoots a 210… Kid probably averages 130 and his best was a 210. You can even tell he’s surprised when he strikes by his reaction. He’s confused on what it’s ganna do until it hits the pins lol
@@Cieln0va because scrubs lie all the time about their averages. Most people claim their highest game is their average. Some can hide it with good form. This kid had neither good form or score. Do you realize how many 300’s, 280’s, 290’s and 200+ games you have to get to off set a low game to score a 210 average. I mean it’s easy to see for any one who is a member of the USBC to look up his league scores which will show his player average for the season on a house shot…
No offense but if he is averaging 210 then he has to be bowling on the easiest blocked oil pattern ever. He really looks to be a 180 bowler at best at this point of his bowling career.
Great video. The guy definitely isn’t a 210 bowling judging from his form and shot selection but he can absolutely get there with some help. As a fellow two handed bowler I’ve definitely struggled with some of the same issues he seemed to struggle with (either coming over the ball too much with his hands causing it to slide or over correcting and over hooking it into the head pin).
Regardless of average or status as a bowler, bowling is a game of luck. Anyone who's bowled for any length of time knows that just because you nailed the approach, backswing, release, follow through, hit all of your marks, and even hit the perfect pocket shot, that doesn't guarantee a strike. 3 weeks ago during league play, I left two pocket 7-10 splits. I bowled badly enough I dropped my average from 214 to a 198(early in the season). I raised back up to a 204 the next week though so I was happy. All I'm saying is this, anyone can win on any given night
You can tell he was very nervous the whole game. Maybe he does average 210 on a regular day but going against a pro and knowing people are gonna see it has to feel different
My 2nd week taking up bowling and bowled 188 last night and have only bowled 6 hours during that time. I'm hoping by this end of the month I can start hitting 200
People really harping on a dude who likely hasn't played against someone who does actual professional bowling, been recorded, AND had their throws critiqued, applauded and tilted all at once. People really acting like high average or even professionals don't have bad days or are just not all into it at that moment to give it 100%. I can almost guarantee all the people going, "I'm a TRUE 210 average bowler," have days where they're slipping up, dropping the ball on accident, or just don't have their heart in the moment. No wonder why bowling is bleeding out in terms of popularity. I remember when I was younger, you either got feedback on how to improve, a thumbs up, or an exasperated noise when you missed followed by a, "you'll get it next time." Now people have so much ego and act like they are gods at bowling because they spent 10+ years bowling to get to the point of going over 200 and anyone who doesn't play perfect all the time isn't a TRUE high average player.
I’ve always been curious what a pro would average on a typical house shot. I’m about a 215-220 avg on a house shot. I’ve tried leagues with strict oil patterns and let’s just say my avg dropped significantly lol
I've seen a movie with walter ray williams a few years ago, and he said on an easy house shot when he was training he would deliberately look for hard lines to play, as he would probably be averaging over 240 otherwise on it
@@MrSpectralio yeah I’d guess 240s but prob 250s. Anything higher than that is getting a little absurd. The top guys in my standard leagues are typically mid to upper 230s. No way I’d expect them to hang with guys like deadeye lol
Fun fact - My dad is a pro bowler and I average 150. During our summer league I shot my high game of 205 and he had to make the 2, 4, 10 to be me and he made it and I was sad lol
Im a 2 hander, i would reccomend for him to try and get a bit lower, drop the right arm and get yhe ball lower to the ground. It will help with his control
Darren, If your ever in Lake co IN. I'd love to challenge you on our local 8 lane alley Set'em up in Griffith. Even are local pro shop says whatever your average is take off 20 when you bowl here. Also, everyone here could use some tips. First round on me!
Hello Sir. Have a question. I'm 50 something years young😊. I'm just picking up the sport. And want to take it to the next level of competition. I don't have avg or handicap. Im going all out on new equipment.
Celeb pro am, I was a celeb for my non profit at the time. I can honestly say pros are damn good but I did beat tour guys. Not saying I could be pro or compete as much as they do, but they can be beat. Day before the PBA tour was shot live at wayne webbs alley in Columbus
Had a 184 game a 192 game and a 201 game in the series. Highest game ever was 288 not even in league and just a normal Friday night out with friends so it doesn’t even count on record
And it looks like the ball drilling is wrong for the kid, like if he was a one hander then the thumb is too loose. He dumps the ball into the foul line every time.
Ngl it’s more impressive missing the baby split like that than actually hitting it💀

210 triple
Probably hit 210 once in his life
Possible he was just nervous, but yeah the way he throws it looks like he averages 160
"My Hype is stronger than my UFO" What? What? "Your UFO is a 1.5in pin" Ahh, it makes sense now. But what?
Idk what’s crazier - logic dying his hair blonde, or the fact that he is bowling with Darren!
Logic?
@ the rapper
Man no mercy. You didn't have to do him like that. It was hilarious.
There’s no chance this guy averages above 170
no he probably is just how easy two handing is
Wouldn’t doubt it. Lanes during league play can make the average Joe look pro
Fr if he is 210 I'm 250

Only lol
With that early drop of the ball, no projection, being off balance.....I think you and Darrien have a few things to talk about during lessons.
IDEA for ProvAm handicap in the future, Darren HAS to hook at his spares lol.
Never knew it was possible to go through the baby split. Yeah I'll stick to one handed.
If I was going to vs Darren, his handicap would be he would have to wear a very tight sweater. 😂
Im not flaming him, he was probably nervous as shit. That being said im not sure if I have ever seen a 2-hander with that low ball speed and rev rate.

What pattern do you put down for the pro vs am?
its a usual house shot
the silent laughing before the camera switches from missing the small split lmao

1:45 no matter what happens, Darrien won the match right there
That's air.
Michael Jordan would be proud.
