PB3 is so wholesome. Every video with him feels like a warm hug. He's so good and so experienced, I can always learn something from him even in a joke game like this. Love the content. Great stuff.
Been a real long time since I bowled with and/or against Parker (first in Jim Lustig's tournaments then Eastern Regionals). This was great entertainment! Thanks guys.
Your dad and I are the same age, so I have zero doubts he has bowled on some pretty crappy lanes .They didnt have fancy oil patterns when we were kids and the equipment was different as well..In the house I grew up in, Mens high average was always under 200.Toughest house in the city to bowl in. It was a nightmare.
I'm several years younger than PB3, but still on the wrong side of 50, so I can definitely relate. There were several really crappy bowling alleys in the Kansas City metro area that didn't really know what oil was. My home house used it by the 55 gallon barrel (shout out to Strike and Spare RIP), so going to the dry houses was a shock to the system when I was young. I'm left handed one hand and had a pretty high rev rate, so that made for a lot of fun on the dry lanes. A 1 hander has a major advantage on no oil. You simply keep your hand BEHIND the ball, and try to kill the spin as much as you can. In doing so you have a LOT more control and predictability than a 2 hander is going to have on no oil. It's no wonder PB3 smoked his son in this match LOL.
This was so fun and wholesome. Great bowling PB3. Ive bowled on lanes with virtually no oil and its so hard, even being a one handed low rev bowler, the ball locks up at the arrows and just sits there. Most people who bowl in places where the take good care of the lanes have probably never seen this. Its tough. Apparently not for PB3 though. Absolute legend. Never knew he has the most 300 games.
Justin. Your dad throws the same as I do since I was 8 years old. His technique makes it easy to adjust for lane conditions. Evary 2 boards on the lane is 1 board on the approach. Us old timers do get it. It really is the geometry we learned in school that we never thought we would ever use.
just found this channel and love the energy both of you put up! PB3 showed his class without a doubt. The fact that he nailed the pocket almost every roll shows real experience. Very impressive! Reminds me of my the times my dad and I used to go bowling. Miss him dearly right now. I wish you both long and healthy lives.
That right there shows why I prefer watching one-handed bowlers. They have more control than the two-handers just looking for power and high rev rates. Even power throwing crankers like Jason Couch could slow down the rev rate when they needed to throw straight and pick up a spare.
@@Sasfoot Im a 1 handed thumbless, who prides himself on forward rolling all my spares and getting on the back of the ball, could do a little better, but im getting there. Also working on a backup ball. 226 League
Went to playtime bowl last week in Mississauga, ON, and the lanes were completely dry. I came to see friends from the states, brought my own ball, and on my first ball it pretty much did what we saw in the first shot. What did I do? I put away my expensive ball meant to hook, grabbed a perpetually oily house ball and just tried to have fun.
Bowled in the 1970s… 5 man team leagues to end the night at 11:00pm, all the oil was “gone” for the day by the time the league started at 8pm… now that’s real bowling. No two hands, high revs back then. If you could average 185+ in that format… you were a damn good bowler!
I'm with yuh Ed....I started bowling around 1960. I met my wife in a mixed bowling league in NJ back in those days and we married in 1967. I continued bowling in mens leagues till around 1980. Best league average I ever had was 188, best game 290, and best series 758. My favorite ball was a Don Carter 'Gyro.' It was a different game back then. Some nights the lanes were impossible.
I was a Junior bowler during the 70's.Never oiled the lanes for us tykes. Best game was a 244 at the age of 14(1977) Plastic ball.Caramel colored Columbia 300(white dot I think..Been a loooong time). Mens high average at my neighborhood house was 185..Lowest in the city.No blocking the lanes, no"where's the shot??" None of it.. Loved it..Physically unable to bowl now...I miss it.
When I was in junior leagues, the mechanic who stripped the lanes forgot to oil them. It used to different machines for oiling and stripping. I was still using a plastic ball and it was still way out of control hooking.
My run down bowling alley in the 1970's never had oil on the lanes. I had to bowl back up because I couldn't keep a hook on the lane all the way down to the pins and I still averaged 190 !! (the pins were like sponges as well) You could hit the pocket flush 10 times, strike 3 times, leave corner pins 4 times and leave 3 splits. When I think about it I should have turned professional- it was the darts equivalent of hitting a treble twenty blindfolded in the dark
This is our bowling center condition on every weekend at JSC bowling center, palembang, indonesia. The management says that because the fun bowler could bowl without their shirt and ball wet with oil. They also says if we cannot bowl with such condition then we should get a proper coach 😂
Ask pops if he remembers back in around 97 he was bowling in a tournament in Erie, PA at Eastway lanes. I was there with my grandma and he signed my bowling pin. LOL doubt he'll remember, but I do. Good memories.
I'll never forget when my assistant bowling coach (owner of the lanes) stripped the lanes. He didn't say a word until none of us even approached 150 after three games (high school team). The only people throwing somewhat well adjusted to a house ball and threw straight. I just remember how tense the air was between everyone on the team and between the coaches. Apparently he didn't communicate that's what he was going to do for practice that day and it set off the head coach.
I used to bowl at a place with old wood lanes where they hadn't been oiled in months (or years?). I bowled 180s averages all the time there with an old rubber ball.
I don't bowl but once a year, using bowling alley supplied balls, and I didn't realize there were different types of bowling balls made from different materials. Someone I know said that most bowling alley these days use a lot of oil so it's easier to get 300 games and he's had over 20. Is that true, since I think that would encourage recreation bowlers by giving them higher scores?
Still remember the first time i met pb3 bowled with him at the 1998 pro am at woodland bowl pretty down to earth person took time to answer a few questions and we even had a little fun lefty to Lefty trash talk fun times for sure
“Oh yeahh, Gutter 3 up there”. 😂 Parker with the killshot. On another note, Parker being able to throw it that straight, on those conditions and make it look good is impressive. 👍
I bowled on my usual lanes on very minimal oil, and it was a nightmare. I ended up having to aim for the next lane's pocket in order to even get it to hit the 7 to get a single pin for the throw
Next up, the Bohn's bowl on a wod cut lane before its sanded and finished. Ive seen em before, but not sure may wood lanes exist these days. I cant imagine anyone would be allowed to bowl on them, but I wouldnt put it past these two. The problem with some houses with dry lanes is that its usually the result of the house not oiling lanes after a lot of bowling has taken place. So the backends have pushdown oil and wont hook ,much back there, but the rest of the lane does. It makes for some pretty low scores unless you just heave it like Osku up the middle because you cant really throw hook and be consistent with any line unless it was walled up. Sometimes that works to your advantage if you bowl a tournament where this happens and you have had experience with it.
We had the oil machine break for a month in my house league, and the averages just plummeted, and the complaints skyrocketed. I ended up winning a lot of games though due to just after a few shots the first time and seeing gutters be like, well no point in hooking the ball then. So I just went to my back up plastic ball that I use to shoot straight at my 10 pins, and just used that the whole game for everything, no hook at all, just old rookie style straight bowling like casual people do. I ended up still bowling 160 from my 190 average while the 220 guys were bowling 100 since they for some reason were stubborn with still hooking it or not just throwing straight. I was screaming at these guys the whole time, just throw straight, don't bother with hooking at all.
I was a one handed (left) high rev rate bowler. The house I bowled in used A LOT of oil, so it was a shock to go bowl at other bowling alleys in a youth travelling league back in the 80's. That taught me how to flatten out my release and get more behind the ball when the lanes were dry. To this day I can use my reactive ball to shoot at 7 pins because I can go from a high rev rate to killing the revs almost completely.
We usually throw in close to 60 games with dozens of people in a near non-oil environment. I can appreciate oil and can feel even a little oil, so I am very happy to be able to use it. I am able to practice better than when I practice on lanes with a lot of oil.
Justin, your dad might remember when bowling houses used to use one butter cup of oil in a spray bottle. They would spray lane, mop, and oil held for only a few frames😂
Most people have never seen lanes this dry. A lot of houses have a ton of oil. Bowling isn't huge where i'm from so its rare to see good lane conditions. They once told me they haven't been oiled in a week, not bowling on the fresh or the burn but a week. My ball hit the lane and then the left gutter.
Bowling with my family in New Jersey one Saturday, we ran into lanes that were just like that. I routinely throw plastic because of my high revs but low ball speed due to age and injuries. My first shot went into the gutter BEFORE THE ARROWS. I was eventually able to throw a 150 game by firing my 10 pin release almost straight at the gutter (I have a really difficult time throwing the ball with NO side turn). It was definitely an eye opening experience.
I remember going to a company event at one of those "Dave & Busters" type places but they had bowling lanes too which my company reserved for us. I brought my gear along and threw my first shot... hooked immediately into the gutter! Threw my next shot. Again, hooked it hard to the left. I thought, wow these lanes are pretty dry, but no one else had been bowling before us all day. The bartender called me over and told me not to even bother with my reactive ball. He noted that they never oiled the lanes for safety reasons (a lot of people getting drunk. slipping and falling). I learned that day that just because a place happens to offer bowling, doesn't mean it's a "real" bowling alley.
When i was bowling at 16, my parents and i went to a pinz entertainment near us, and they didnt oil the lanes i have to move left of the center am at the 10 pin and put no hand into it for a chance at 7 pins. I refuse to go back to this day
I bowled on a worse condition at a 8 lane center in the basement of a Best Western near the Grand Canyon in the early 2000's. Not only were the lanes Bohn dry (pun intended) but there must have been layers of dust and dirt on the lanes because the house balls would roll out once it touched the lanes. No skid what so ever. I was throwing the ball like Justin at the end of the video, just straight at the headpin. I think I shot 80-something.
I bowled alot in New jersey when you bowl on end lanes is always different from lanes in the middle of the house , summer time the heat from the outside and the winter time cold coming thur the wall.. bowled alot in north brunswick nj..
When I was a Junior bowler, the lanes I bowled at would strip the lanes on Friday night, and not oil them until after our Saturday morning league. ruined my game. On a side note, around the same time, I crossed with Parker Bohn before the Tucson Open in their Pro-Am tournament.
That was so good to see , unfortunately my centre in England is pretty close to this ! I don't bother with reactive , plastics conventional drilling , really makes you stay behind the ball ,if you put a few rev on it ...... 3 off the corner . I find a nice 10lb house ball is the option for the last game normally lol
they need to do a video on the old school light oil as its evaporating game to game...thats what I had to bowl on. You could start with 300, but by game four, 192 is looking pretty good
This is why I say that the kids bowling today on tour, would be wise to NEVER discount the damage an older pro can do in a match. It's also why I say 'rev rates' aren't king. Control and accuracy are. You can throw legacy hard rubber balls, and plastic, and be very dangerous on the lanes. Now imagine Justin after he gets some more years in, and builds that experience bank up... He's already damn good, and he's just going to get better! Far as his dad goes? He's nobody's chump. If someone wants to beat him, they'd better bring their "A" game, and not make any mistakes. You could fashion a bowling ball out with a concrete cover-stock and he'd still probably score decent with it.
You think there could ever be a PBA tour event with no oil? I would love to see it. Plus neither side would have an advantage. How high would the scores be?
I’ve recently bowled in two bowling alleys where the lanes are literally like this or worse. Instantly into the gutter. So much grab it was actually leaving residue on my ball.
Parker III is my ALL TIME FAVORITE… (as a lefty stroker, makes sense) but this is proof in the puddin’ … Parker is the man… (plus putting 2 hander’s in their place feels great too!) easier/faster results don’t mean crap against practice and skill!
@@rayclark474 yeah, suuuper chill, loose and breezy! He finds just the right angle of entry for those 7 kickers too! I was lucky enough to bowl with him a couple times during his clinics when I was younger. I never knew he had the record for most PBA 300’s too!
Anytime that I go open bowling on the weekend (or anytime, for that matter), the lanes are totally scorched....zero oil. I get it to a certain degree, considering the birthday parties, late night bowling for college kids who care far more about drinking than bowling, etc. But how is someone that is looking to work on his game supposed to practice effectively if there's no oil? Are the bowling centers in general cheaping it out buy not oiling the lanes, except for leagues? It truly is frustrating. Anyone else have similar experiences in their house?
This happened to me just the first third of the lane bone dry and I hooked into the gutter at about 10 ft. Took a few rolls to figure out the machine goofed up. Better hope this never happens to "you". /shakes head
parker...you remember the old hard rubber ACE or RIPLEY? The house I bowl in,I use a 16 lb ripley,drilled handed..throw left handed and shoot around 7 and go brook..that is how dry ours are...I shot 256 white a white dot.. my blue hammer hits right hand gutter and never hits a pin..so yes I know about dry..would love to try out your lanes with my old ugly green manhattan..
being a lefty i can relate. i've been watching the pba for years and saw parker come up. i've never met him but boy i sure would like to. earl anthony was my favorite and tried a lot of his tips.
I got to bowl the 101 ft worlds longest lane in chandler Oklahoma. They said it was out of use because it was not setting spares it would just sweep and they did not have the time to look at it yet. But he let me go roll a few balls and my spare ball went in the gutter before the arrows. I asked when it was oiled last and they said 4 weeks ago. I had to use a house ball no finger tips and aft 7 balls I struck and called it a game. I need to go back now they have fixed it. An extra 41 foot is a lot.
If you don't have a thumb hole in the ball grab a house ball. You have to stay up the back of the ball no tilt or rotation. Plastic is key here... Most people drill their strike balls with up to 3 oz of side weight to help them turn.
PB3 is so wholesome. Every video with him feels like a warm hug. He's so good and so experienced, I can always learn something from him even in a joke game like this. Love the content. Great stuff.
Parker's crap talking game is A1 for being the sportsman of the year every year lol
I’ve bowled on his pair in pba stuff. He’s just awesome
Fr
This is weak trash talk at its finest
Its hilarious 😆
PB3 is a personal hero of mine. I spent ten years working in the bowling industry… not many truly nice legends left.
Been a real long time since I bowled with and/or against Parker (first in Jim Lustig's tournaments then Eastern Regionals). This was great entertainment! Thanks guys.
Parkers trash talk makes these videos. Love watching the family bowl
Your dad and I are the same age, so I have zero doubts he has bowled on some pretty crappy lanes .They didnt have fancy oil patterns when we were kids and the equipment was different as well..In the house I grew up in, Mens high average was always under 200.Toughest house in the city to bowl in.
It was a nightmare.
Spray the lane with a super soaker and then drag a dust mop over top of it…no lane conditioners lol

Reminds me of my the times my dad and I used to go bowling. Miss him dearly right now. I wish you both long and healthy lives.
This video shows exactly what I miss from the current PBA, shot making.
This is the most wholesome trashtalking I've ever heard. I love it!
"Hi, I'm Parker Bohn the THIRD and this is my son... Justin."
The amount of sheer skill PB3 possesses is mindblowing. Bowling that clean on stripped lanes, holy hell.
That right there shows why I prefer watching one-handed bowlers. They have more control than the two-handers just looking for power and high rev rates.
Even power throwing crankers like Jason Couch could slow down the rev rate when they needed to throw straight and pick up a spare.

You could hit the pocket flush 10 times, strike 3 times, leave corner pins 4 times and leave 3 splits. When I think about it I should have turned professional- it was the darts equivalent of hitting a treble twenty blindfolded in the dark
Parker Bohn III could literally be a children's storybook narrator - He has that charisma about him, kids would love him.

It's always heartwarming to see a father take his son bowling..even when the son has to bowl 2 handed like a toddler.
Love this banter between father and son! ❤

Candlepin style with a 15 lb ball honestly seems like the best strategy
I loved this vdeo. Can't wait for the next one. Awesome content Justin!
One of my dad's favorites back in the day. Lefty's rule!! RIP Pops
One of the best games of bowling I ever watched. Y’all are awesome. Lol
I used to bowl at a place with old wood lanes where they hadn't been oiled in months (or years?). I bowled 180s averages all the time there with an old rubber ball.
Justin’s channel, but Parker always feels like the star 😂
This is every week for our league in the UK 😂. The centre just doesn't care to oil, makes it so not fun. Great video guys!!

I'm getting so many bowling videos lol its just fun to watch. Im about to go solo bowl for a while
These father and son videos are always fun. 😁
That was fun....8:53 Where was this?Justin do that the next time you can beat the
“Oh yeahh, Gutter 3 up there”. 😂 Parker with the killshot.
On another note, Parker being able to throw it that straight, on those conditions and make it look good is impressive. 👍

Justin when will you get the videos up from the last 3 days of team trials.
I click on because i thought we were going to get some tips for bowling on dry lanes! Enjoyed it anyway. Parker is a class act.
LOVE THIS!!! You guys are great!!
Thanks for all your videos!!! You guys are the best!!!!
This was freaking hilarious!!!
Nice to see the smack talking from PB3

Love the banter! Fun video .
Hardest condition I ever bowled on had heavy oil OUTSIDE and nothing in the middle. It was a backwards house shot
At 1:14 Justin says "if you touch it at all".
"Touch" what?
That was so good to see , unfortunately my centre in England is pretty close to this ! I don't bother with reactive , plastics conventional drilling , really makes you stay behind the ball ,if you put a few rev on it ...... 3 off the corner . I find a nice 10lb house ball is the option for the last game normally lol
they need to do a video on the old school light oil as its evaporating game to game...thats what I had to bowl on. You could start with 300, but by game four, 192 is looking pretty good
This is why I say that the kids bowling today on tour, would be wise to NEVER discount the damage an older pro can do in a match.
It's also why I say 'rev rates' aren't king. Control and accuracy are.
You can throw legacy hard rubber balls, and plastic, and be very dangerous on the lanes.
Now imagine Justin after he gets some more years in, and builds that experience bank up... He's already damn good, and he's just going to get better!
Far as his dad goes? He's nobody's chump. If someone wants to beat him, they'd better bring their "A" game, and not make any mistakes. You could fashion a bowling ball out with a concrete cover-stock and he'd still probably score decent with it.
You think there could ever be a PBA tour event with no oil? I would love to see it. Plus neither side would have an advantage. How high would the scores be?
I’ve recently bowled in two bowling alleys where the lanes are literally like this or worse. Instantly into the gutter. So much grab it was actually leaving residue on my ball.
PB3 wisdom is something. 😍😍
I went bowling at a Bowlero near me and the lanes were just like this. I couldn't keep my ball on the lane. Hooked to the gutter constantly.
Parker III is my ALL TIME FAVORITE… (as a lefty stroker, makes sense) but this is proof in the puddin’ … Parker is the man… (plus putting 2 hander’s in their place feels great too!) easier/faster results don’t mean crap against practice and skill!
I just love his stroker style!!
@@rayclark474 yeah, suuuper chill, loose and breezy! He finds just the right angle of entry for those 7 kickers too! I was lucky enough to bowl with him a couple times during his clinics when I was younger. I never knew he had the record for most PBA 300’s too!
Anytime that I go open bowling on the weekend (or anytime, for that matter), the lanes are totally scorched....zero oil. I get it to a certain degree, considering the birthday parties, late night bowling for college kids who care far more about drinking than bowling, etc. But how is someone that is looking to work on his game supposed to practice effectively if there's no oil? Are the bowling centers in general cheaping it out buy not oiling the lanes, except for leagues? It truly is frustrating. Anyone else have similar experiences in their house?
This happened to me just the first third of the lane bone dry and I hooked into the gutter at about 10 ft. Took a few rolls to figure out the machine goofed up. Better hope this never happens to "you". /shakes head
This was a very fun video to watch. Now I know, there really is oil on the old wood lanes that I play on in league. Thanks for the fun video guys!
“Gutter 3 up there”. 😂😂😂
Dude that last ball was going Hella fast!
Grew up watching PB3…. Legend
Wow I assumed a lane with no oil would make the ball hook off the lane
Where was this? Looks like a place in Buffalo NY
You guys are funny. 😂 PB3 wisecracking the whole way had me with the 6 lb ball!
parker...you remember the old hard rubber ACE or RIPLEY? The house I bowl in,I use a 16 lb ripley,drilled handed..throw left handed and shoot around 7 and go brook..that is how dry ours are...I shot 256 white a white dot.. my blue hammer hits right hand gutter and never hits a pin..so yes I know about dry..would love to try out your lanes with my old ugly green manhattan..
Is there a Parker Bohn IV?
PB3 seems like the most wholesome person on earth
He certainly is. I would kill to spend an afternoon with him. Such a genuine person.
That was "so" much fun to watch!
being a lefty i can relate. i've been watching the pba for years and saw parker come up. i've never met him but boy i sure would like to. earl anthony was my favorite and tried a lot of his tips.
Nothing funnier then watching two bowling nerds talk smack.
Fun stuff guys. Nothing like son father stuff.
That was fun watching!
I got to bowl the 101 ft worlds longest lane in chandler Oklahoma. They said it was out of use because it was not setting spares it would just sweep and they did not have the time to look at it yet. But he let me go roll a few balls and my spare ball went in the gutter before the arrows. I asked when it was oiled last and they said 4 weeks ago. I had to use a house ball no finger tips and aft 7 balls I struck and called it a game. I need to go back now they have fixed it. An extra 41 foot is a lot.
The best part of this video is that it's how my dad and I rib each other. Lol
If you don't have a thumb hole in the ball grab a house ball. You have to stay up the back of the ball no tilt or rotation. Plastic is key here... Most people drill their strike balls with up to 3 oz of side weight to help them turn.
Lesson: No oil turns tenpin into candlepin.
Thanks for this very funny Video. Greetings from the wonderful City Munich !
long live 90s bowling!
He wasn’t lying. Two handers are their own worst enemies
Pb3 is my favorite bowler of all time ❤
