Helps to have a good bowling ball manufacturer for support, room with an experienced PBA bowler that can be your mentor, communicate with top local bowler who can explain the bowling alley's characteristics.
That pep talk at the end of the vlog is the definition of why I've always dreamed of being a pro. Listening to you guys laugh off the bad, and look forward to the next tournament is so inspiring. I remember feeling the same way that Kyle did at a recent tournament. Kyle shot below a 130 that day? I averaged below 130 that tournament. They were toooooough, and I didn't realized what I should have done until after I left. I was so angry that I almost stopped going to tournaments entirely. And then I calmed down, and have averaged 670 in league ever since. Thank you guys for doing what you do out there, inspiring me and many others like me.
I love the vulnerability that was shown in this vlog. "Bowling makes you work on yourself" No truer words spoken. I'll sit thru one of these vlogs every time. Thanks guys. Keep grinding - you've got mad support out here.
I think it’s commendable that you guys post all the ups and downs. I’ve only been back to Bowling for two years and I’m just trying to get better and better every chance I get. Shot my first 300 last weekend, and thanks to you guys for putting out the content that you do has help me improve my game, both mentally and physically. Keep up the great work!! #keepgrinding
I just had a rough tournament this past weekend so I appreciate hearing the pep talk and words of encouragement towards the end of the vlog. You two are the reason I go out there and try at all, so thank you for the motivation and for being positive role models!
What I like about your channel and the others also (the house) is you tell it like it is, frustrations and all and for me a lifetime Amateur (62 years worth) I can relate to your issues-frustrations instead of seeing 300s or the like all the time. I enjoy all of you so just don't change. In all my years I've been lucky at times and have been fortunate and at now at 80 i'm still bowling not like I used to but still enjoying and also enjoying your videos along with the House. Like i said don't ever change this is what to me is so enjoyable.....Peace out
I love the honesty at the end. Im sure there’s a lot of us that can relate to the struggle. Sucks you guys didn’t bowl to your expectations but I love that fire in the belly. Keep on going guys and don’t stop.
In professional poker, most pro's fold probably 95+% of the hands they are dealt, and we typically only see the big pots they get involved in on TV. It's tough to showcase your careers when you know that most of the time, you're going to miss a stepladder, or even a cash cut, but doing it shows just how difficult it is to win on tour. Without the vlogs, we would only see your successes. I appreciate seeing it from behind the curtain, because it's real and gritty. Keep at it guys.
After watching this video, I don't feel so bad about my terrible performance last night at league. Thanks guys for giving a better bowling perspective...may the strikes be with you!!!😉🤙
Appreciate you both taking us through the good times and not so good. Still Cheering you both on from Oahu, HI and hope you guys can come out for our Regionals the Summer. Aloha!
I see this vlog post like this was a learning experience for y’all. Idc how well I do but it’ll still be an honor to bowl on the same pairs as y’all in a tournament. Keep going on this upward trend and get yourselves ready for the TOC!
Hey Kyle, everyone has bad games. Still feel for Daugherty when he bowled the 100 on TV and lost by almost 200 pins to Mika, although he took it like a champ and even made fun of himself. Even has made a pretty good pro career going forward from that low point.
You guys rock! Remember...channel that anger into XXXXXXXXXXXX! Most of us if not all of us wish we could have your jobs! My 31 year old son and I bowled today even....I averaged 196...that's up from 156 in my league days 25 years ago! Keep up the great work and most of all...HAVE FUN!
You guys are doing well grinding it out and being honest with how hard it is to make it as a professional bowler. Brad, your time to win a PBA tour title is soon. Praying for you guys.
Thank you for the honest look at the PBA journey. I suspect you two missed the training time bowling against each other last fall and the edge is a bit dull. Now you are trying to get it back in the middle of the tour. There is not a lot of room to get it back with this bunch of competitors. The beat goes on, you are giving us great content, and always take the time you need to process an unexpected result. You have a bunch of us investing into what you bring to the bowling community, you are really successful in expanding the view of what pro bowling is all about. Lessons learned, move forward, go get em.
At the Baltimore open ( Lumber Liquidators) about 25 years ago, I've seen a 98 in qualifying. I'm not going to mention his name but I will say he's amazing at horseshoes.
Not gonna lie, but its nice to hear from pros having it rough cuz when us amateurs are having a rough go it feels like we never get out. Just bowled my association tournament last Thursday, bowled a 242 210 and then a 138! felt awful! but its refreshing to know that even the pros find struggles in their games. But Kyle will figure it out i know this
I know how you feel Kyle. In my 49 years of bowling in an adult league,I started 2023 with a whopping 118. (my lowest adult score forever),only to come back with a 204 and a 198. Keep the faith and score big.
Guppy Troup had a 92 one game. I just read that in a story by Frank Deford for Sports Illustrated in 1988. The tournament was at the Columbus Square Bowling Palace around Thanksgiving in 1987. Marshall Holman got so mad, he threw a ball against the wall.
Watch Brad at 8:00 throwing the Nova. He stayed down and throw that shot much better. Been seeing him stay up out of allot of shots this season. That was a good one.
Thanks for the info. I appreciate that semi pro. To pro pro. Have there ups and downs. And bowl 100 games wow. I've learned a lot from you guys. Thanks again.
During that exchange I thought of an old attempt to change something..., holding the ball slightly higher or lower, before 'push-away'. Could alter speed for sure. Hope your ball reps fix you up with the proper equipment, that gets you into tv finals~~!
So the real question everyone wants to know concerning Brad is simply this....."Why the hell do you throw any other ball than the Nova?" lol Drill like 5 of them all different ways and different surfaces. You kill it with that ball almost every time!
I watch EJ Tackett shoot 133 at the US Open in 2020. I took a picture just as a reminder to myself.that even the best in the world have bad and frustrating games.
Kyle, Sometimes you have to have those crap games in order to truly appreciate the good ones. Yea, I know it's a line of crap, but it is so often true. I always wanted to go pro as a teen, met my future wife and pretty much quit. The game has changed so much that I can't begin to even understand all the jargon you guys use. I still admire the classic swing like yours, Brad's and Kris's. I love watching you guys. Keep the comeback going. A win is just around the corner.
Take this for what it is worth! Just bowl and have fun. Maybe you are over-thinking lane patterns, balls, technique. Relax and let it happen. Concentrate on what you are trying to do!
That's easy to figure out. Just strike more🤣🤣 Sometimes I crack myself up. Sometimes you just split and there's not thing one that works. Chock it up to experience and go again. Good luck
I agree with you, no splits will definitely get you into the money round. Are your splits pocket splits? If splits are from a bad approach, why, fellow bowler leaving foreign material on the approach, powder bag residue, saliva on shoe, you're going back on the carpet, if a senior bowler's nose dripping from taking water pill, etc. Or you had a bad approach, pulling back at fault line, missing your target, bad follow through, shirt tucked into your pants too tight, (Tommy Jones always has shirt out of pants) socks are slipping inside bowling shoes, wrong sole on bowling shoes, pants bind around your knee, etc. have to be corrected if you expect to bowl 250+ games. I noticed on someone's video that the ball rep was sanding a bowling ball on the ball return during practice. Does this residue from sanding down a bowling ball get on the bowler's shoes inadvertently? Do one colored bowling balls win most PBA tournaments? YOU DON"T CHECK YOUR SLIDING SOLE BEFORE EVERY SHOT?
Brad, I've noticed sometimes when you get to the line, you kinda pop up with your follow through and other times you stay down and more balanced at the line. Not sure if that is by design or something you are aware of, just figured I would point it out. You guys are great, keep up these videos. I really enjoy them. Good luck and good bowling.
You might think just sitting in your kitchen ranting about the last tournament is boring, but for us who can only dream about what your doing its anything but boring. It just proves how hard you have to fight every frame for every pin against the best bowlers in the world. Enjoy your few days off and let's get it at the TOC! Good Luck!
I shot a 118 in league, my worst game this year by 40 pins. Didn't notice what I ate for lunch had a boatload of sodium, thumb swelled up so much none of my balls fit...
"If you're gonna come out here, you better be pretty good at it" Great line, Brad!
"You can put dirt on the lanes and they'll find a line." another good one.
@@daverosinski3663 yes! And it’s 100% true. These guys are next level
Don't cry pro bowlers that's bowling

I think we need to see more of Richie...dude is hilarious!
Thank you guys! Best of luck in the next one-you deserve it for all the work you two put in to stimulate the interest in professional bowling.

It's okay I feel your pain! Just came back from Nationals in Reno, first game in singles I go 256, second game I managed 127! 😆
I hate that shit! I call it "blowing your wad" lol
@@kingshabazz1310 🤣🤣
Saw you both at BJ's in Fairlawn today after the ToC pro-am. Good luck in the PTQ, Brad - I hope you get a spot to bowl against Kyle in the ToC!
I love the honesty at the end. Im sure there’s a lot of us that can relate to the struggle. Sucks you guys didn’t bowl to your expectations but I love that fire in the belly. Keep on going guys and don’t stop.
Hang in there, Kyle!! Good luck to both of Y'all in the TOC!!!
Love how honest you both are keep been you your times will come 💪💪💪💪
love the REAL talk stuff, just as much as watching you bowl
This was excellent gentlemen! You both are truly inspiring - don’t give up, don’t EVER give up!
Richie is funny. "I did that too, its really annoying". That made me crack up for some reason the way he said it.
Listening to the vlog content in person is something else because Brad just does it in one take
Thank you for sharing all aspects of the experience - We've all had days like that - Sharing what you know and living it - Just Awesome
Just saw Brad made it in the TOC great last game Brad! Good luck to you guys this week!

Richie cracks me up, made me think of Steve Irwin "here we have Kyle Sherman in his natural habitat "
I see this vlog post like this was a learning experience for y’all. Idc how well I do but it’ll still be an honor to bowl on the same pairs as y’all in a tournament. Keep going on this upward trend and get yourselves ready for the TOC!

Hoping to see you guys in Kokomo in a couple of weeks! I just signed up to do the pro-am on the 21st!

There is up and down in life.. Don't give up.. Keep going and keep moving..
It's coming, keep grinding 💪🏾💪🏾
Cool tech bowling brad and Kyle
You guys rock, keep plugging away, goods things will happen. Good luck at the TOC.
I feel your pain Kyle. My first time at the same bowling alley for a tournament, and I bowled a 130 on the first game.
Keep moving forward and keep growing!
Watch Brad at 8:00 throwing the Nova. He stayed down and throw that shot much better. Been seeing him stay up out of allot of shots this season. That was a good one.
Keep trucking guys, the work will pay off
Want to know something weird? The chairs you guys were sitting in at the end of the video is my exact kitchen chairs 😂
Hey guys Christmas has passed you can take that sh*t of your window.
Thanks for the info. I appreciate that semi pro. To pro pro. Have there ups and downs. And bowl 100 games wow. I've learned a lot from you guys. Thanks again.

So the real question everyone wants to know concerning Brad is simply this....."Why the hell do you throw any other ball than the Nova?" lol Drill like 5 of them all different ways and different surfaces. You kill it with that ball almost every time!
brad what ball there you throwing in the right lane?
Keep your head up Kyle. You're throwing it sweeter than ever according to the eye test. Looks sick. Shake that rust off!
I watch EJ Tackett shoot 133 at the US Open in 2020. I took a picture just as a reminder to myself.that even the best in the world have bad and frustrating games.
Dang I don’t live that far from Jackson but didn’t have the time to make it to watch you guys
Man I live in Michigan, I wish I woulda have seen this earlier that there was a series here! Damn....
long road back Kyle. just a bump on the road traveled. best wishes and get well
Teece should be voice over artist. He's got that wildlife documentary voice.
Kyle, Sometimes you have to have those crap games in order to truly appreciate the good ones. Yea, I know it's a line of crap, but it is so often true. I always wanted to go pro as a teen, met my future wife and pretty much quit. The game has changed so much that I can't begin to even understand all the jargon you guys use. I still admire the classic swing like yours, Brad's and Kris's. I love watching you guys. Keep the comeback going. A win is just around the corner.
Brad going total savage with absolutely ZERO chill
Keep yall heads up
Finally saw Kyle’s banner!
Great content guys! When showing other players throwing, film Osku, interesting guy to see!
Take this for what it is worth! Just bowl and have fun. Maybe you are over-thinking lane patterns, balls, technique. Relax and let it happen. Concentrate on what you are trying to do!
Never give up. Also in League, I bowled my first-ever 700 series.
Loved that ending! 😂
Brad...yah I have to figure out how to stop splitting so much too! 😆
That's easy to figure out. Just strike more🤣🤣 Sometimes I crack myself up. Sometimes you just split and there's not thing one that works. Chock it up to experience and go again. Good luck
Excellent stuff Gents. Now get back to work! 🤣
Don't feel bad Kyle = my lowest game on Tour was 127 and it came in match play LOL. We've all been the hydrant at some point.
2:11 flashed em da bizness
Love these fellas
Look at the thumb burn on Kyle’s thumb! 😂
I love you guys! Don’t worry...your day is coming!
I listened I might see you guys at the World Series of bowling
Who else likes listening them just talk talking at the end
Ooo J stern in the video. He’s gotta be my fav pro bowler he has so much swag w the shit. 😎
Those high's are high and the lows are trench deep but, Keep on truckin'!
I don’t like that Kyle isn’t in his groove yet. I hope he gets back into it. Would like to see him or brad win a title

Not sure if that is by design or something you are aware of, just figured I would point it out. You guys are great, keep up these videos. I really enjoy them. Good luck and good bowling.
I need lots of practice on how to deal with bowling bad.
Don't feel bad Kyle. My dad shot 129 on TV back in the '60s. LOL
Hang in there Kyle...you'll be back!

Next. Idea should be on how to shoot spares
I shot a 118 in league, my worst game this year by 40 pins. Didn't notice what I ate for lunch had a boatload of sodium, thumb swelled up so much none of my balls fit...
Kyle gets a pass since he's still getting back into the flow.
