Brad, chin up! Appreciate your honesty but keep working through it. You will figure it out! I am thankful for you and Kyle and have learned a lot from both of you. I root for both of you like you're both my kids. Keep at it!
Always appreciate your honesty, Brad. I have faith in you, and so do a lot of your fans. I heard a few words of wisdom a while back from a great coach who said “when you feel like you’re in a slump, not getting any better, etc., just relax and enjoy the game for a while.” You’ll win a PBA title before you know it.
With you being in Milwaukee there are two deserts to try: one is called custard the other is called a Kringle. Custard is a creamer ice cream. Two places to get this desert is Culver's and the other is called Kopps. You can purchase krinkles at Sendicks grocery store and some bakeries.A krinkle is a cross between a Danish and a coffee cake. If you like eating at dives, try a place called Jimmy's Gotto in Waukesha Wisconsin.
Brad isn't wrong. The game is absolutely designed to make you feel bad. I've been in a massive slump as well and there has been weeks I've wanted to sell all my equipment and just quit. This slump I'm in has been the worst of my life. Like 3 months long. It's came directly after I shot the game and series of my life and then the following week I struggled to break 100 game and 400 series. It's been bad ever since. Next week I start my tournaments and hope that taking a week of here will help me get back my game a bit.
After looking at the guy with the purple hair all i could hear was the oompa loompa song from charlie and the chocolate factory every time i saw a glimpse of him. Really liking the videos.
Watched you guys yesterday least the first block, wondering why no iq solids? Thanks for coming out to tailgate Brad. Goodluck the rest of the week guys !
Geez bois pattern looked really tough. The shots that made great carry seemed to almost go gutter which would get your nerves completely fried by the end of the day. Keep it going bois!
You know, this would have been a great time to have the editor to put Brads talking head on Tommy Pickle's body, at 6:42. Pretty sure, Brad is going to smile and laugh, then be mad I made this comment LOL.
Hey Brad I have been a ball fitter for at 20 plus years. Alot of inconsistent shots are due to needing a refit. When was the last time you made a fit change? Tell Peter V Joe Stacy says Hi. Peace
Shake it off guys! Every day, every block, and every game is another chance to do better! (I get it, he's Belmo, but) If Belmo can work his way through the TOC from where he was, you all can work your way into these shows! Lots of bowling remaining! Go get it!
Hey brad I was watching and notice something that might help you that you may not realize. Your release is all over the place. Some times your arm goes straight and then sometimes you swinging it way out and making like a big circle on your follow through
I remember when the animal sport patterns came out, Cheetah is favors those who can play with more speed. Brad just needed to up the speed a bit and he'd be in there.
@@tylerjenniges8354He wasn’t dissing Brad at all. In general, shorter patterns tend to favor higher speed and longer patterns tend to favor lower speed. There are obviously exceptions for each but it’s a good general rule of thumb.
Would love to be able to go back and hear what the Pro concerns and discussions were at tourneys back in the days of Roth, Anthony and others. The game is so revolved around Ball selection now. Makes you wonder if it has All been manipulated by the Ball makers to produce more profit!!! I would say pretty good chance. Anyho. We, the league bowlers and least liked, probably feed the Industry $$$$ the most.
Absolutely as far as ball producers. Most balls are very VERY similar. Just change the color, the name, and a tiny bit of the core and surface and they can go on doing that infinitely and make $. It is kind of a scam tbh.
You need to turn pro. To do so you either needed to cash in a PBA regional tournament as a non-member. Have a 200 average or better for the most recent league season with at least 36 games bowled. Or...Have a 190 average or better in a PBA experience league or sanctioned USBC sport bowling league, with at least 36 games bowled. Once you do any of those you can pay your fees to turn pro and bowl in PBA regional events and also the PTQ qualifying events each week. If you bowl well enough in one of those you can then bowl in the National Tour event for that week that the PTQ event was held for.
Not sure if I'll get an answer here, but I have a question. In general, do you guys think that oil patterns are trending in the wrong direction for the PBA? I understand that some players are out of this world good right now, but it's strange not to see a few outliers every so often. I feel like we are watching the same thing every week.
I enjoy watching the pros throw it in the gutter. Not because it’s funny or to be mean. But it shows that even they make mistakes. So when I do it, it happens to everyone.
If I was to get the membership can you get a retired storm bowling ball as your free ball? I totally think the coaching and retired bowling ball is worth the price the backpack is added bonus
I have always wondered how receiving bowling balls from your sponsors works. I see every tournament bowlers getting dozens of balls. They walk into this trailer just full of balls and they walk in and pick what they want. How can someone afford this? I understand each bowler will have a different level of sponsorship based on their performance or popularity, but are pro's really getting dozens and dozens of free bowling balls every show? Is it something like, for this calendar year you are allowed 50 bowling balls and once you hit your cap you have to pay for balls moving forward. It honestly just looks like a free for all with equipment.
Yes they get free balls whenever they want. And it is a big advantage compared to guys not getting sponsored. A new ball gets more pin action compared to an older ball for example. That is why they switch new balls pretty much every day. Friday I bought literally the last Altered reality 16 pound ball out there and a Gem. Threw two 300s. I have always said the guys you see on TV are better than most.......mainly for their ability to adjust to different lane conditions. But getting new balls everyday is a HUGE advantage. I would say a house shot 220 bowler would easily add 10 pins a game in average if he could get a new ball every day.
Not to be negative but it's the reality of the game now. The Ball companies take care of their pros and the Pros keep pushing the product. What do they care, they are constantly replenished with fresh balls, and we league bowlers supply the profits.
@@apolaconeagleeye8571 Exactly it. And I don't begrudge the top pros who do get sponsored free balls because lets face it....bowling is one of the lowest paying sports out there. They get paid peanuts compared to golf or even darts believe it or not. It is all about sponsorship and paying customers. And sponsors don't want to pay too much for a sport that while it has devoted fans....does not have tons of them who watch on TV even though bowling is one of the bigger participant sports in the USA. Plus the amount of paying customers who watch live events at the venue is tiny. How many people can fit into a bowling alley to watch a finals day compared to an average PGA golf tourney? Night and day. That is why a golfer like Wesley Bryan can finish 14th in a second rate PGA event and get paid $225 K while a pro can win a PBA event and only get $20 K.
Also some pros sell the balls they get for free to the public when they are done using them. Which is usually only after 5-10 games. Again I don't have an issue with that as the money on the PBA tour is so little.
Are you guys making a video with the winner of the “Day with the pros” raffle? That would be a good video to watch. Or go live with training tips and such.
Brad....I am a 225-230 avg bowler in various leagues and tourney's and have bowled some PBA regional events. I really like your channel. I know you have been struggling and while I am in no position to offer advice....I still am going to. :). I know as a right hander that many of us gravitate left as the lanes transition...yourself included. But one thing I have really noticed about you is as soon as you move to around the 25 board and left of that? Your game falls apart. You start getting way off balance and trying to spin the ball in a way that you are just not comfortable with. It is very obvious. Kyle is the opposite. What you are comfortable with is staying right and being accurate. I would think about staying right no matter the lane conditions and changing balls, hand positions, and ball surface as the lanes change. But always try to stay either at or right of center. I also think trying to get less rotation on the ball and increasing your ball speed at the same time will help. It seems that as the years have gone on you have tried to throw it more and more like Kyle and again....that really isn't your thing. Try becoming very very good at one style instead of average at many. Hope things get better for you.
@@Gavsy1874 Not sure why that is hard to believe? Been bowling for 25 years and won many state tournaments as a kid. As I said I am a PBA pro and have bowled in many PBA regionals and in Vegas and Reno for tourney's many times including almost all of CA. Threw a 789 last Sunday and had 2 300 games Friday night in a local tournament I was in. Only a 792 series though as my last game I struggled. Averaging 225-230 on a house shot or even a moderate sports shot is better than most but guys like Kyle and Brad would do the same and probably much better. There are lots of very good bowlers out there. The thing that separates guys like Kyle and other top pros from lower pros or great league bowlers is their ability to adjust and bowl well on any lane condition.
@@Gavsy1874 Scores from last week. Matt X 30 X 60 X 90 X 120 X 150 X 177 X 197 7 / 217 X 247 X X X 277 Matt 9 / 20 X 50 X 80 X 110 X 140 X 170 X 200 X 230 X 260 X X X 290 290
I agree that is the shot Brad should stick with. He is pretty accurate when he stays right of board 25 or so. He is going to have to increase his ball speed to do that however especially when the lanes transition. Might be time to hit the gym and add on 10 pounds of muscle if he can.
@@guesswho9742 Agree and that is what I think Brad should do. I see he bowled better later today. I wonder what shot he was using and if he read these comments before.
@@matttf2538 I am from the KC area and was a member of the traveling scrach leauge back in the 70's. Those of us who tore the cover off the ball every shot, did make an emprissive ten in the pit, I avg 7 strikes a game in those days, but my avg over all never went over 210. The big avg's were the down and in guys who used the Black Beauty or Hammer with surface. It boils down to using you talent corectly.
Hey Brad I saw you got a little help from Bill Spigner this morning! What a great block of +225 after that. Keep it up...you are putting yourself right back into contention. Rooting for you as always! 👏🏼🎳👏🏼

I can't wait to see Brad win his first National Title.
Brad ain’t winning shit
That would be amazing to see but nothing is guaranteed out there! He has to step it up and believe in himself!
Brad, chin up! Appreciate your honesty but keep working through it. You will figure it out! I am thankful for you and Kyle and have learned a lot from both of you. I root for both of you like you're both my kids. Keep at it!
Damn, just noticed around 13:03 , T.S. had front 9, gutter spare strike 270. Great score but my oh my
Thanks for bringing the nice weather here, I'm enjoying it !

2:38 I relate to that so much
Brad is the only guy I see still making the Nova look good. Keep grinding fellas, long season.
Nova has always looked good for me, reminds me of my original Lock.
@@Kmadams_97 It just ate up oil quick for my kids in tournaments (Personally never owned it). Im a big fan of the colorway and the way Brad rolls it.
I've seen Daria Pajak repping the NOVA, and then proceeded to remind me I'll never have as much hand as her while ripping the cover off.
Gotta love the santtu Interview with the finnish attitude :D
Ayee you both crossed with a friend/acquaintance!! Petey and Toby. Florida Boyss! Love to see it
LFG!!! Brad & Kyle y’all got this it’s long tournament
Great video. Good luck from HawaII!!!
Keep your heads and your spirit up. I know it's hard, but I have confidence in both of you.
Arturo rocks that purple hair!
Love all the content lately!🎳
16:21 no wonder why the Bar was set high if scores were high.
With you being in Milwaukee there are two deserts to try: one is called custard the other is called a Kringle. Custard is a creamer ice cream.

1:00 I straight up thought they had Tay Zonday on the production.
Keep grinding y'all got this 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
"I continuously do the stupidest shit, all the time". Felt that (in general, related and unrelated to bowling)
Yall can do it!!
Confidence!!!!!!! Let’s go Brad Fin Miller 😅
Come in brad and Kyle one of you will titles its only a matter of time x
Brad and Kyle are both pretty cool guys
I love a good Brooklyn strike.
Lavoie looked like he was going to kill it playing it straight up the boards, as he doesn't have to play the gutter since he's a lower rev player.
It’s all good guys!
Keep it up 👍
Brad isn't wrong. The game is absolutely designed to make you feel bad. I've been in a massive slump as well and there has been weeks I've wanted to sell all my equipment and just quit.

Love seeing a pattern force you to not be afraid to dump it in the gutter
Cool seeing Shota Kawazoe there. Dude seems like he could win a TON if he were to go full time PBA, just as I'm sure he wins a lot on JPBA.
After looking at the guy with the purple hair all i could hear was the oompa loompa song from charlie and the chocolate factory every time i saw a glimpse of him. Really liking the videos.
Damn, it’s already been a year since kyle’s championship…..Wow. Good luck defending the title.
Keep on keep'n on😁
Keep Hammering Brad
Cool to see Matt Ogle in your video, he is one of nicest PBA bowlers.
Louisville, KY native as well. Very cool
Watched you guys yesterday least the first block, wondering why no iq solids? Thanks for coming out to tailgate Brad. Goodluck the rest of the week guys
!
Geez bois pattern looked really tough. The shots that made great carry seemed to almost go gutter which would get your nerves completely fried by the end of the day. Keep it going bois!
Let's go Eagle! Get that money.
I feel like the Nova should almost ALWAYS be the first ball out for Brad. Its been his best ball last year and this year.
Do you guys know what pattern was used for the Pro-Am on Saturday? I seen you guys but didn't what to bug ya! Good luck this week!
Great video. Now brad I have a question for you. So that ball that you are using the Exotic gem. Do you like how the ball shapes down the lane?
Stay positive its a long tournament as you two know, the strikes will come.
I would love the chance to bowl in one of these
I live right by that place, I wish they did a better job with that house, I really hate bowling there. I am planning on bowling the PBA league there.
What the song they using at 4:19?
You know, this would have been a great time to have the editor to put Brads talking head on Tommy Pickle's body, at 6:42. Pretty sure, Brad is going to smile and laugh, then be mad I made this comment LOL.
Team Kyle let’s go

Go get it!
Oh the good old days when we could only have a max of 10 balls in the paddock total😂
Let’s go Kyle this title is yours
I had a nova was horrible on house gave it to a no thumb hi rev low speed guy he shot 300 twice with it I couldnt throw a 4 bagger with it
Hey brad I was watching and notice something that might help you that you may not realize. Your release is all over the place. Some times your arm goes straight and then sometimes you swinging it way out and making like a big circle on your follow through
How is the bowling center? New and improved?
I want a video.of brad getting hammered drunk expressing things he doesn't like.
“I continuously do the stupidest shit all the time.” I’m pretty sure that I say this at least once a day.
I remember when the animal sport patterns came out, Cheetah is favors those who can play with more speed. Brad just needed to up the speed a bit and he'd be in there.
Where is your name on the leader board? Since you know exactly how to play these lanes you should be leading this thing right?
@@tylerjenniges8354He wasn’t dissing Brad at all. In general, shorter patterns tend to favor higher speed and longer patterns tend to favor lower speed. There are obviously exceptions for each but it’s a good general rule of thumb.
I hope you guys end up in the show on May 14th which is my birthday and I hope you win
I really want brad to win one
What are the payouts for the tournament?
I swear when Kyle had hip surgery, the doc did something to his wrist while he was still under. His rev rate has gone through the roof this season.
I HATE short oil. Good luck, guys!
Cool tech bowling bowling tournament brad and Kyle

Can good amateurs bowlers play at pba tournaments
This next league will hope to get my pba card . My last league with different sport shots , my average is 217 and maybe I can hit the 220 mark

It seems there should be a rule...if a pin actually goes down, it should count as down, whether or not it stands back up.
Great video. This made me feel a LOT better about my gutter balls haha
Came here to say the same lol
My dude at 14 mins needs a brush lol
I see "trust is a must" but for me to rely on a shot outside the 1st arrow,I'd be in trouble.Stay focused.

you guys should make a deal with Simo where if he beats every house member in a one on one then you will give him merch lol
Ooh Kawazoe is bowling on the PBA again!! I hope he does well
He crushed day one if I'm not mistaken
How do you increase your ball speed
Throw it faster...
@Not Onyourlife LOL hell why didnt i think of that.
Looks like Brad’s grand total after the second block is about 1000 pins shy.
I enjoy watching the pros throw it in the gutter. Not because it’s funny or to be mean. But it shows that even they make mistakes. So when I do it, it happens to everyone.
Certainly it's high risk/high reward type scenario.
Damn, you guys like living close to the edge lol 😅
