Same boat dude..... We bowl 4 man teams and we had the highest scratch game, highest scratch series, and then 2nd highest Handicap Game and Series of the WHOLE SEASON and got a total of 3/11 points last week... Everyone just turns up when we bowl against them. Tough stuff.
Bowling is super frustrating. I felt your pain, Darren. The only thing is that once I hit that point its soo hard for me to bring in back in and focus. I can't wait for season 1 Jesse and Lance soo much to look forward to.
@@kalaniwoods-matanza6916 it’s just a mental block with shooting spares straight up the boards. I like to stand really far left and shoot it across the lane
Always loving the league videos 😂 Congrats to 110k Subs, well deserved 💪🏼and respect to Jesse for the editing, Lance ripping out the "subscribe button" was hilarious 😂 Can't wait to see some BTS of filming and editing 🤓 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪🎳🦍
We will miss Darren to, but wish him luck on tour this year. However, we still got the Lance Monster, so half is better than nothing. Especially when it is the best half LOL
I still say it’d be awesome to see Jesse and Lance’s old partner vs Darren and Lance either in a league or just a 2v2 kinda thing. I think it’d be fun to see
You guys are super entertaining even when you're miserable, hahaha! I guess it's also 'cause a lot of us feel the same way bowling league, but it's still fun as all heck!
I was hoping to hear Lance say “sloppier the better” lol. I just got my shirt. Love it. Thanks. Will wear it every league night way up here in Northern Alberta Canada 👍🏻
No matter how many people say, never jinx yourself in bowling. No matter how good you are. When going for a 300 your brain is always saying. OMG YOUR GONNA SHOOT 300.
You need to practice this, don't do it during a game that counts....hold the ball in backswing and try to slow it down and bring it back to the ground slowly. After you do that a few times, practice letting the ball just fall from your backswing....IF you need more speed from your ball, then pushout a little higher, swing back a little higher, but let the ball fall naturally. Just keep practicing...when you do it correctly you will stop throwing the ball to the outside.
House shots: Where one pair on one week plays like you're bowling on concrete and where another pair on another week can play like you're bowling on tempered plexiglass and it all has to do with what the other bowlers are throwing and who the mechanic was that night. There's a reason I have been pushing to end house shots entirely forever since the late 2000s.
Shout out to Darren Tang, I am a huge fan of bowling and more importantly I'm a huge fan of you, I also have the Phaze V, I practice with it every week I've gotten a 200 on the dot one time, I'm from Grants Pass, Oregon. I was hoping to get some advice on the Phaze V bowling ball, I stand all the way on the left side of the lane, and I throw it to around 1st and 2nd arrow, it sometimes hooks left and sometimes it slides right into the gutter on the right side but I don't think it would be because of the oil.
Hey, Darren, I'm from Germany, from the capital Berlin, and I wanted to tell you that I'm always happy when you release new videos and I watch all of your videos
This was great to see when you guys have a bad night. How do you handle it? I so can relate. I had an awful night of league this past Sunday. Tips on staying focus?
My best tip for focus is to get a preshot routine that is the exact same every time. I've been struggling in league too, so take that with a grain of salt, lol
Love the guys in my league who Nerf the pattern by throwing it 57 mph and strike by hitting the 4 pin, or the shot put guy who launches it 40 feet down lane, meanwhile here I am fighting the over/under pleading to all of the gods of bowling to carry a 10-pin for just once in this forsaken pit of despair. League is fun. I'll be back on Monday lol
Man I WISH over/under gave me 10 pins. Instead it's washouts and buckets every other shot where I bowl at. ngl at the end of the night I transform into the 57 mph guy AND the shot put guy.
I really wish I could learn to be consistent with bowling. Last week we shot for beat the champs and I got second by 12 pins. Tonight I only shot a 515 scratch and we lose series by 8 pins. Easy spares, 5 solid pocket 10 pins. It's rough some nights.
i bowled bc in league a few times for 10 years at suncoast he is a golfer so he does focus on his shots he practices every week have to out strike him hard to win with 9 counts
End of the 1st half last night. Needed to sweep to guarantee staying out of last place. As anchor I bowled over my average all three games, my teammates bowled decent the first game and the last game, not so hot the 2nd. We won 1st and 3rd games, the other team won the second and took wood. Last place team swept bowling against the blind, so we finished last by one point.
It isn't that. They average too high and don't get enough handicap for the inconsistencies of the shot. Carry is to random and today's game demands strikes over spares on house shots (and MOST sport shots). This isn't the 1970s where the Yellow Dot was the most aggressive ball on the market and where the 5 pin was more common than the 4 and 10 pin. We have equipment that can optimize even the worst bowlers but the typical house shot hasn't changed in at least half a century. This is why I dislike house shots. Additionally, the difference between a 250 and a 270 is literally one strike. And given that pros don't have handicap because their average is too high (which is kinda stupid on their part, Darren himself can average 205 and still be on tour), these 4 pins that Darren is leaving are costing him about 20 pins...EACH. So his 4 pin is like a missed spare for anyone who doesn't average 250 (or even 205 if the handicap sucks).
@@SirJoelsuf1 Difference between 300 and 266 is a pocket 7-10 > : ( The UBA, when they do have handicap events, use 70% of 250. Any percentage higher, even 75%, is annoying and invites sandbagging. The original LT-48, despite reading heads and mids like sanded urethane, struggles on carry down, while the yellow dot also doesn't work as well on transition even when it has a look to the pocket. The original crown jewel from the early '60s might even be a better ball Kegel Radium and Chromium are decently playable not-so-walled shots. Luke Rosdahl plans to move ball reviews to Chromium. More centers should give those a shot
5+ boards more on one lane is pretty standard on my house. They are still decades old wood lanes and are getting synthetic lanes soon though so we'll see. My average has not been good on making up (I'm pretty much starting gutter to gutter) since I've improved my release and added two handed back into my arsenal.
Just try to see how your ball moves down the lane, then adjust rather moving a few boards or switch to a ball that does what you would expect Faster or slower release could help as well
Please post full video of you guys playing first place team. Crazy to think a team with a PBA bowler and a 200 plus avg bowler is in 5th I can’t imagine whose on first.
Simple whoever is doin great with say 160 average, routinely putting up 180 or better it makes them tougher to overcome with handicap Excellent bowlers are lucky to get 7pins a game with handicap
I'll be honest, the only ball that is one iota consistent on a house shot is either thane or plastic stuff. I plan on getting a Radical Spy myself for the second half of league. Gonna have a field day just pitching that up the gutter to success.
@@SirJoelsuf1 You already have a black widow spare? What I want brought back is those ebonite gemstone balls with a long dumbbell core shape rather than some kind of engine
Would you come to STL and do the pro V am? Love your channel, content and all....I bet some of us out here would like to take a crack at your challenge...maybe in Brad an Kyles house? Lol. Good lanes...I wouldn't stand a chance, unless we went low ball. 😅
Bowling is the most frustrating but fun sport.:) been bowling since i was 5. Im now 26 lol. Ill bowl till the day i cant move anymore. Exciting video guys:) and yes league bowling can eat butt sometimes lol
I shot 117 game 1 last night If I didnt move 2boards left to find a great line to play it would've been an even longer night 181 192 after that My average is only 152 Lance we have personality! Would love to meet an bowl with you sometime haha Fellow bowlers would lose they minds
Lance: "Jinxing yourself is all a state of mind"
4-Pin: "Allow me to reintroduce myself!!"
Thanks again for the sweet shirt guys! Had a blast watching you guys!

Lookin like a mid placed team if ive ever seen one
What makes it so frustrating I think is that he takes it way too seriously. That may be a factor that he’s a PBA Pro
@NapostropheN I mean I take friendly competition with my brothers all the time hahaha just being competitive I think
“Like hot butter through knife”😂
Lance’s way of shooting 10 pins is wild
How so? Thats how I bowl...Stroker Style.
Not really, a lot of people bowl like that, I personally don’t, but I know people who do
Agreed. Would make me too nervous
what about it
@@kalaniwoods-matanza6916 it’s just a mental block with shooting spares straight up the boards. I like to stand really far left and shoot it across the lane

It's 10:34 I'm still working. Been watching/listening to this for a while and all of sudden it felt as if I was there watching them bowl....LOL.
Lance never fails to crack me up, especially at 7:00 🤣
I’d love to see a slow motion of your release on your spares. It’s wild how straight you get that ball
Agreed
You can change the playback speed on youtube to .25
These leauge night videos really make me feel happy!! Well played guys, and (very well) edited ! I wish my league night was half as fun!
That guy on lane 39 at 6:29 got super hosed on that brooklyn shot.. sheesh
We will miss Darren to, but wish him luck on tour this year. However, we still got the Lance Monster, so half is better than nothing. Especially when it is the best half LOL

Lance existing makes me smile
You guys are super entertaining even when you're miserable, hahaha! I guess it's also 'cause a lot of us feel the same way bowling league, but it's still fun as all heck!
I really like when Lance doesn't carry, he speaks another language lmao
that 8 pin shammy drop at 8:45 got me hahaha
I love the league content, it helps keep things in perspective for my own performance in league.
If this editing of and acting from Lance at 7:00 doesn't rake in the subscribers, they don't know what they're missing.
My best friend and I started bowling recently and we love it. Trying to get good! 🤘
Man Darren is so goofy. He tries so hard to be cool guy but I love that he’s a big dork
It's funny when Darren or Lance don't strike the music stops
literally lance brings so much humor to your league night vids. I love these things lol cant wait for next seasons vids
Yesterday I had district tournaments for the bowling team I'm on and we won beat 4 teams now we are into regionals
I was hoping to hear Lance say “sloppier the better” lol. I just got my shirt. Love it. Thanks. Will wear it every league night way up here in Northern Alberta Canada 👍🏻
Never mind just seen and heard it lmao.
The way Lance moves around, he reminds me of an adult child. Tell him not to skip leg day! For real tho, great content guys. Keep up the dope bowls.
I'm here for Lance's reactions after every throw lol
Handicap League bowlers keep their averages low as possible. Gotta just bowl well enough to win the points, but not too well to make average go high.
Your doin alright man, just gotta keep that mental game strong! Mad love dude!
Its insane how much better lance's swing looks nowadays. Keep up the grind! 🤙🏼👏🏼
Lance should get a shirt that says I HATE PANTS! Lol 😂
No matter how many people say, never jinx yourself in bowling. No matter how good you are. When going for a 300 your brain is always saying. OMG YOUR GONNA SHOOT 300.
Got any tips to disengage your shoulder/arm muscles? Been struggling not to force my swing, been killing my ball speed :/

Then there are centers that don't make up their minds on which open play pattern to use
@@coopergates9680 Oh, like at least 90% of any given center? That's right, forgot about that one.
I am having the worst week of my life thank you for the entertainment to keep me sane

Loved the subscribe button kick! Super funny editing 🤣
At 5:54 lance scared me bc of how he shoot the 7 pin 😅

how heavy are the balls that you use? Im a learning bowler and I need to find my rhythm
Damnit Lance, man had me crackin up less than a minute into the video 🤣
Where are the bowling ball giveaways being done at? I keep looking for them within the videos but I never see them…?
I just threw another 289. I missed because I got too excited. Is there any tips that will help me make a better shot when I get excited?

Can you have a thumb hole if you bowl one handed But two fingers?
Hot Butter Through Knife! Season 4 I can't wait to see the pins fly!
Looking forward to Season 4!! Happy Holidays everyone!
May I know the layout of your zen ball? Thanks
I love that someone else other than me said it. “I hate league”… lol
Where did you get that HAT it’s so nice
Lance when he strikes 8:29
That Subscribe button punt was the best thing ever! 😂
We are coming in hot… then proceeds to get a 5 0:57
Might be a dumb question but do you think that pro bowlers might be too technical for a league house shot?

Thanks for bowling league, reminds us that we all have different levels of skill.
Lance was feeling spicy that night LMAO
Had 14 splits last night. 30 pins under avg 🤦🤣. When it rain it pours lol
Absolutely agree to Jinxing yourself is a mental state. I'll go out of my way to bring up 300/800 if I'm shooting one.
is straighter really greater?
Why didn’t you bring the NightRoad?
Lance: Jinxing yourself is all a state of mind!

9:04 here is your thumbnail
Tell Lance not to force the bowling ball let the ball do the work in bowl a lot better
