- 'About six inches between the two bowls, so there is just room,' were the words of England's Greg Harlow as his partner Nick Brett approached a shot.

Harlow's words were met with laughter by the audience at the World Indoor Bowls Championships. However, what followed was a stunning piece of skill, as Brett produced a spectacular shot sliding between the two red balls surrounding the jack.
The English duo went on to win the tie with Scotland's Paul Foster and Alex Marshall 10-6, 6-8, 2-1.

The title: World Indoor Championships, can anyone understand it?
Yeah, he meant to do that. ; )
I know nothing or ever heard about this sport. But i could tell, that was an amazing play.
Definitely agree
ave age of players over 70
@@donkykon2094 5 more years and I'll be ready for the big time!
Could you, Sherlock?
It's not a sport. It's an activity.
The best sporting moments are the ones that require no knowledge of the sport whatsoever to notice how amazing they truly are. This is one of those moments.
i dont even know what the heck this game is and i still dont understand how that was possible
I don't agree
One of the best sentences I’ve ever read
The wondrous variety of activities that people become masterfully skilled at, never ceases to amaze me.
I’ve had the same thought many times before but never put it so eloquently.
@@gitlyndon Wow! Thanks!
So football players run around waving their arms and posing when they score a goal, and this dude performs a miracle and just nods? Amazing
All depends on the player. I know people who chase after it and shout then hug their partner 😂
Just like golf, this is a very focus-intensive, static-hearted game. These players cannot allow their heart-rate to increase by jumping and shouting in joy, as it would alter their aim and accuracy.
This man’s got class
amen I am a professional lawn bowl play and the other day I scored for goals for my team with one goal didn't even flinch [:
@@anasabutamata3689 I know plenty of players that carry on like pork chops. The adrenaline doesn't affect their accuracy. It does demonstrate a lack of class though
I hadn't heard of this sport yesterday, and now it's the top play on SportsCenter.
It was on wii sports
How have you not? Where do you live?
America.
@@Kerorofan1990 what a sheltered existence
@@AL3X2580 Wow what a cultured EuRoPeAn. Get over yourself, this is an obscure sport that nobody watches for a reason.
I used to work with this guy in England, RAF Alconbury. Plumbing Shop Lead! Well done Nick!
You should buy him a beer then!
And so begins the legend of Nick, may songs be sung about his legendary achievements
That’s the best shot I’ve ever seen in any sport in my life! Incredible!👍
rob eberly it has to be the most incredibly accurate attempt at ANYTHING possible in sports. This was super cheat code ability. How the hell do you calculate this? Further more, execute it!!
hole-in-one in golf is also incredible but I guess it's more luck than skill
adler98br luck in golf on a hole in one would apply more if you didn’t know how to play and you got one but when you do have skill it does play more of a part in it than not. Players with skill don’t swing and hope. They have a reasonable expectation.
@@lorenzopearson110 That shot changed me mentally and physically. When the bowl ht that ball, the made me feel things I've only felt my neighbors house. Love
Golf: Am I a joke to you?
I just saw this shot happen, and I'm still not entirely convinced that it's possible!
The level of skill needed to do that is incredible.
"The way he called it you'd think he was only 3 feet away from it" *PROCEEDS to bowl like its 3 feet in-front of him no problem* ()Achievement Unlocked "No Sweat"()
I'm not sure that even if I was 3 feet away from the jack that I could have made that shot
@@mrbrianc That bowler guy was a smooth criminal! Like safecracker smooth! 3 dials, triple tumblers, single deadfall reset smooth.
Incredible precision and he is still very humble
I've seen an NFL player flip over another NFL player at full speed. This is far more impressive.
Wow! Best throw I've seen in the 10 minutes I've known about this sport
I do not know this game, but I recognize extreme athletic perfection. Wow..
Not athletic, but it was perfection
Lawn bowling
@@AdrionVolts yea what's the most athletic thing you've done? type this underhanded compliment?
"That was outrageous" indeed. I don't think I've ever seen a shot like that. Holy...
Fantastic and compelling camera work as well! Perfect zoom rate on the roll.
I don't watch this sport but even I'm amazed by the accuracy in this play.
This was easily one of the ten most-incredible things I have seen in my life! Phenomenal!
Makes me want to retire at 47 and join those groupies
Now THAT...was impressive! Such accuracy! Top notch 👍
i am almost 25 and have been playing for 4 years love this game
you have proud patents
I don’t play bowls, but even I know that is a phenomenal shot
That was incredible!!
Saw this on Instagram must say this was super impressive love how the guy walked off like it was nothing lol
This shot is what made this sport be noticed and watched for a while. They guy should qualify as a legend of this game just for this 'accidental' achievement.
NO WAY!!! 😱
I'm a snooker player and can confirm: that was one of the most incredible and accurate shots in the entire sports ever.
I swim sometimes and I can confirm: that was one of the most incredible and accurate shots in the entire sports ever.
I'm a table tennis player and I can confirm the same
A great display of a precisely weighted shot!
Incredible!! Bowls is my favorite thing to watch and I am in Pennsylvania, USA. Hypnotic.
Incredible! Just incredible, I don't even know that this sport exists but awestruck by this short video.
Thank you for this, I sent it to my kids!
Great shot
I've always loved watching this on TV.
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN!.
What an amazing shot .Got to be the shot of the Finals .Well done Nick Brett
Shot of the year!
Nah NOT ENOUGH SWAZ.
Well I guess its time to watch hours of videos about this sport that i just learned is a thing
I'm very happy this came across my feed.
That was beyond unbelievable it almost broke my brain and I don't even know what I just watched.
The best bowls shot? No sir, this is one of the best things a human being has ever done.
It recorded 8.3 on the Richter Scale but as you say it is but ONE of the best we have seen.
All challenges in life sometimes require us to "thread the needle"
Such a touch!
Amazing, best shot I've ever see.😊
The force is strong with this one.
Incredible!!
Great Play
Amazing ! Well done Yaxley boy Nicky ! 😍🍀❤️
Skill makes you smile
This is the kind of shot dude perfect lives on
Literal perfection.
Well-played!
Boom!! That's a bullseye.
BOOM, HIS METAL HIP FROM 1980 HAS FINALLY GAVE WAY. THAT'S THE PRICE YOU PAY, TO BOWL THE BEAUTIFUL WAY.
now that was just amazing.
This shot was referenced on a pro wrestling podcast of all things, so I did a search for it, and that was... incredible.
which one?
Are there anti-wrestling podcasts?
@@davidhill3595 OSW Review, obviously.
@@markofsaltburn almost certainly yes
All I can say is: WOW!!!
saw on sportscenter, came here to see it again
Nice Shot
Holy smokes.
Beyond skill
Brilliant.
Great shot.
This made me ovulate, and I'm a man.
Charles C I am screaming lolllllll!!!!! You made my day!!
that is not unusual nowadays.
Laughing my head off! :-D
That's some fragile masculinity you've got there!
That’s sick dude!
Heard about this on the radio driving into work - wow ! outrageous, unbelievable, amazing !
What radio do u listen too?
These people are awesome
There are fast greens in golf, then there's the light speed of the floor (idk the proper term) in indoor bowl. The touch and finesse needed is just incredible.
that's a great shot!
Fantastic! Unbelievable!
I just saw this on CBS This Morning News... Talk about my jaw hitting the floor... Unbelievable Shot... Knew I would find it on RUclips...!!! Crazy Crazy Shot...!!!
U watch CBS, are u from jamaca?
First I've ever seen of this and I am impressed.
Such a skilful game.
One of the best sports you can play. It'd honestly a wonderful game.
just watched it for the third time...I will be back again and again
Fantastic
I don't know a thing about the sport but I KNOW I just saw some an amazing roll. Bravo
And that's the first and only play I'll ever watch of this sport, whatever it is.
Amazing
I want the "THIS IS ROCKET LEAGUE" audio dubbed over that shot.
so intense
Thanks
Awesome!! If youre a sports fan you can appreciate this!
Yea.. i had no clue what this sport was untill yesterday but now im into it. This was amazing!!..
Tremendous achievement
Bravo👏🏿
Get in!
XFL Instagram post brought me here. This was skillful as hell. I’m interested in this sport now.
It's just curling but with 3 differences
· No ice
· No scrubbing
· The target isn't painted but is that small superlight ball
incredible, totally amazing...
This is the best sport out individually and as a team sport miss it
I don't know what this is but I need more.
You really dont
@DudePerfect are you watching?
The way they transitioned it to the green dot of the "i" in Guardian oh my goodness
Hi all. If you like this take a look at World Bowls Tour on here to follow every match live. This is even more impressive when you consider he's about 28 metres away from the jack.
unbelievable
This is what capable people are capable of.
the man can roll
Outrageous
that's insane!
"Laser Guided" to precision!
I am not a bowls fan, in fact its something I've never watched, and I have no idea why it popped up in my recommended list. I have to say though, that was quite amazing accuracy any way you slice it.
That crowd though
What a bowl-eautiful shot
What a terribowl pun
@@NotQuiteFirst 👏👌
Thank you.
Puns are the PINnacle of humour.
amazing
I was impressed.
that's some Wile E. Coyote physics right there.
Genius.
