lol yep Japan. Best of luck in the Cornhole league.

Ya it was rough and heard from others this is worst they seen for being dry. It is a 116 lane alley biggest in the world. The lanes are on the 2nd story. And there are 2 flights of stairs but the escalator came up around lane 105 and 2 elevators at lane 80. Going to the other end of the house was fun. Have to get there an hour early to start dragging the bags. After picking them up from the warehouse next door(indoor soccer park).

Wish it was that easy. All the righty’s were throwing from 40 so lefties even had to start lofting. It was a sight to be seen. lol.😂

True. I do spare practice all the time and some nights I’m actually decent. I have high goals and getting upset I can’t hit them. So incorporating new system to practice. Still work spares but play 30 frames clean and can’t go home till done. Help the mindset a bit and not stress just do the cleanup. My form is getting better and noticing I have a different throw for spares. Need to fix that asap. As Sean Rash told me “slow down”. I’m not trying to kill pins but going to start taking the 75% throw to get better accuracy. Trying too hard I guess.

Thanks. I know I drift and making a few changes but looking for consistent slide. If drift always this much. I want it gone because it’s only the outside I drift.

@@TillysAdventures Its almost like a Tokyo Drift, fast and furious hahahahahahaha sorry🚗

@ 😂

Depends when I visited Okinawa those lanes hooked hard and a lot of big scores. In Tokyo these are slick and hard to turn. Couldn’t really give a proper comparison since I wore a wrist brace when I started out bowling in the states.

Yes getting annoyed with myself. I feel I force outside to much. Yes I want to work right to left. But starting to get beyond 20 more often. Not scared anymore of missing out. Just make better shots and I won’t gutter.😅

@ don’t get annoyed if you didn’t get frustrated there’s no point to keep doing it. Trust is a must or your game is a bust keep plugging along you’ll get there

@@pjmcmann3668 I understand some patterns call for different lines, just execution isn’t where I want it and avg slowly falling…got to keep grinding away, eventually everything will click

I didn’t notice at all then turn around and they he is chilling😂. Just leg at that moment was like no.

No not first. Bottom of the pack for me. Friends made it far like top 50 of the 800

@@TillysAdventures oh sorry i was just talking about my comment. i was just being silly. keep up the hard work. i learn a lot from your vids. very informative and entertaining

@ all good. Realized it was for 1st comment after I replied. 😅 thanks for following and watching…and glad I can help a bit

Yes I get jealous of the strokers. Make it look so easy throwing around 10-15. I’m over here with major over under and no miss room. But gotta to learn to keep up. Also get a little frustrated with the cross cuz it makes my line even tighter, but part of the game. And you’re also dealing with me digging a hole in the lane. Give and take lol.

Currently house is 211 and sport I’m at 190. House is quickly rising (206-211 in two weeks) while sport dropping slowly (194-190 in last 4 weeks).

@@TillysAdventures nice I’m 221 book house and 183 sport

@ nice. I hope to get up there in house, first league in 3 years after 209 at one house then moved and could barely score 190 here. But obvious improvements if scoring better. I started really hot in sport and last 3 weeks have been cold. Trying to get back to where I was at 196 through 10 weeks. Depends on timeframe but this might be last house league till I move since they are only in winter. Need that 200 avg to get that PBA certification.

@@TillysAdventures you actually only need 190 on sport to get PBA certification It’s 190 PBA or 200 house

@ did not know that but this isn’t a usbc sanctioned sport. It a Japanese sport league so we play other patterns from JPBA as well. Different pattern every week. I know some leagues in states cycle through 2-4 patterns.

That might be fun and just use the plastic. By game 6 it got to be toasty and get some loft involved.

No not for this one. I usually have mine around 360 sometimes 240 but I haven’t been scoring with it well lately. And seems to only last about game before I need to ball up. I do need to bring the purple out more…I miss throwing it. Been only using black as getting experience with it because in PBA regionals can use the purple.

lol yep chat group had a different pattern for another night. Wasn’t ready for this due to my crushed soul from the Japan Open.

It’s all good…we all started there and we get better and learn as the time goes on. Yes some nights can be frustrating and just got to push through. Game 3 good example everything was working. Sounds like u did the Darren Tang where u kept bowling but avoided further injuring injury. You doing two handed. That’s what I would do. If I did one handed probably hit my own leg or ankle lol.

@TillysAdventures I Was up to 141 average as a 1h righty and the game before my injury, i bowled a 185. So turning lefty was difficult. I tried 1h lefty but i could barely bowl 50. I tried 2h lefty and was immediately way better so I've been doing that. I think my high game 2h lefty was 134. I've hit the 120s a few times but I've been bowling like a 70, a 125 then like a 90 for the past two weeks. I know this is just house shot and you're on a sports patterns so not only are you way higher average, you're doing it on hard patterns where mine is just a layup.

@@EviLNox8 that’s still pretty good for a new bowler. Sucks u had to switch. But sounds like the lefty is getting better. Same thing happened to a pro here where he bowled lefty for a bit. His right elbow got hurt too. I saw his pain where he just took the next few weeks till his arm was ready again with lots of tape. Shooting 50-100 after shooting ur consistent side. 🥲. Don’t take the sports patterns to seriously. It just another patterns and they are built to be tough for those guys who avg 240-250 on house. Some tournaments have low scores. When u get healed up. Try seeing if local alley or tourny nearby has a challenge or sport pattern. When u get doubles it feels so rewarding. Just little things feel good. And don’t stress to much we have fun and learn for the next session. As you can tell from me bad nights happen. And others things go your way.🤙

@@TillysAdventures Thanks buddy. I'm not sure if I'll be able to bowl right handed again. It will be at least 6 more months before I'd be able to try. I can't even do bicep curls over 20 pounds with my right arm without incredible pain so it's going to be awhile before I can try to bowl righty again.

@@EviLNox8 bummer. Hope for the fast recovery. Kind of of worried when and if my knee gives out. Been doing a lot of focused workouts to build up knee. That be a long recovery especially being the plant foot.

Thanks 🙏. I did get some work in changing swing and stance a bit. Accuracy improved and with the push away it ain’t really a push it more of letting the ball fall into the slot. And very rounded and smooth, not jerky. Still getting used to it and getting more and more comfortable. And I got this pattern again on a bigger stage tournament tomorrow. Going to take that luck and roll true💪. It’s the Ace Challenge. That I see once every few months.

@ your form looks spot on. I'd still recommend trying to drop the ball a little to the left, causing your swing going straight, you should try it. Might do you wonders. Best of luck tomorrow! I'll stay tuned if you're going to upload it. Subscribed.

I agree. I think throwing plastic that last game might have even been a decent choice.

Yes spares and single pins especially. And the reason stayed over there was…practice. As well I’m kind of relearning my hand and balls due to I was trying to control revs and speed. Pretty much too much in swing. Still mastering the improvements I have made and trying different surfaces and balls for next time I come out on this pattern. Hopefully this time I’m told proper pattern before I come out lol. Prepped for different oil pattern. Next time I play on this probably be ending up in same area for a 6 game set.

@andrewweltlich9065 Interesting. I do like the idea early game and as a last resort. And my main focus is pocket control. If I can control the pocket I should…should🤦‍♂️…be picking my spares.

@@andrewweltlich9065 Unless you are on wood lanes, you have to have more friction in the mid lane on the outside boards to consider plastic. I throw plastic all the time on house, but anything harder than about 7or 8 to 1 I use urethane.

@@ripvanrevs No offense but did you watch the video? The pattern was completely flat and the last game his ball was hooking so much he moved in front of the ball return. Once he did that, he couldn't hit the pocket to save his life. Throwing plastic he would at least be able to hit the pocket.

True might have been getting a little more upset on not hitting pocket too.But make the spare and make the move for next shot. The more relaxed the better the shots. Like u said I should never miss a single pin.

Ya u need to be spot on for flat patterns. Show no weaknesses lol. Reason why I like sport patterns more. It’s humbling after a good night on house. There is always improvement to be done.

I know it actually annoying me that I can't find a good time with others, or they straight up won't accept a challenge. But some new people moved to Japan and getting to know them. The vid is on the TOP of my list...I haven't forgotten, as well as other challenge ideas. I miss the challenge videos and enjoy watching what other UA-camrs do for challenges. But on the true note...I totally misinterpreted, Sorry🙏. It finally clicked. I wanted to do a spare ball challenge and other challenges. I'm still going to be pushing for those challenges, but I will whip up a review soon for everyone. I'll bring out my old plastic too for the compare. Don't think it would stack up to a ball unless I had little oil out there.

Thanks🙏. I got to throw a game with it before league and did not see the results I had out there. Wow that ball sees dry and wants to come back hard, but if I keep in the oil, it is smooth. Just a fact the lanes were broken done better and now carry down from the open bowlers. Still need to learn a bit more about it before I probably put in tournament bag. We will see what Sport League cooks up and if that ball would be in play. The new set-up is a lot more freeing, and I don't start as tense. Didn't have as many misses, only one out and three in. And it helped my spares too. Only 2 opens and those were splits. 6/8 on spares. 100% on makeable ones.

@@TillysAdventuresI see you in the pic with Sean Rash & DMac! Very cool!

Ya been trying to work a drill up 2 board to get better straighter. But did some other adjustments to swing. Next time be less out hopefully. Time will tell. My breakpoint I was trying hit was 13 max being gutter. As came went on the buff and being a straight up 13 to start. Not going 20-18. Eventually got to open. Lessons learned and got some experience.started to far left.

In the third game that is. UA-cam wouldn't let me edit that in.

Had my 3.0 really roughed up and wasn’t getting anything out of it. Didn’t work like last time I did it. That was a really wide in and was surprised it came back that hard. Especially for all my other throws barely moving lol. Yes Black Widow Viz-a-ball.

Interesting and I like it. But what I am going to working on currently is going to be timing. If my leg is sweeping to late or early. Also to save my shoes from dragging on lane pick up my back foot a bit. Also noticing by slowing it down from your tip. My lower stride is HUGE. Causing my hips to open up easier. If I shorten that stride a bit. It won’t be like I’m doing a squat lunge reducing my sway from balance leg. Got some practice tonight so going to test it out. Thanks for the tips.

@TillysAdventures No problem, and yea, your leg has always kind of swept pretty far. And, I think most of the time it's not a problem becuase of how straight your angles are. As soon as things start to slow down and open up, I think the leg has just a little too much time to affect your swing path. So, while timing is something that can help, the *distance* your swing leg travels is independent of your timing, whereas the time it *starts* to move is not. I would probably keep that in mind while you work on your timing.

@ practice done and was cool cause got to meet Sean Rash, Stephanie Zavala, and Danielle McEwan. Quick coaching followed by no tap pro-am. Learned a few things and shortened my steps and tweaked initial stance. Hitting marks even easier. No balls went out but couple shots that stayed in, due to my release, not arm. Spares felt great too. Was hitting where I wanted. No left or right. It was awesome now waiting for coach to review the new throw. In the No-tap 3 game set didn’t hit my goal of 800 but 773. Excited for the house league tomorrow and how it affects my score in the sport league. Especially this weekend playing on the US Open #1 39 feet flat.

@@TillysAdventures I think getting a 773, even in a no-tap event is pretty good, lol. And, that's a pretty incredible set of people to stumble across. Danielle specifically has spent some time with my coach, Mark Baker, and is in one of his instructional videos. So, I'd scratch out my advice and just go with theirs any day.

@ it led me to the right questions and what I wanted to do to fix it. And they had some quick answers. Even things that might not matter but the swing felt great after their tips.

🤗got to love improvement.

Ya shaking this one off.

Oh wait! You're already there! My bad...

Thanks… All good…had a great time and learned a lot.

What up, been a while, you still rapidly improving? I’m going to try and go there again next year. Maybe I will see you there.

Just getting a mark in this game is so important. 1 single pin miss can be 11 pins. Especially on days you aren’t striking.

lol sometimes I get caught watching them. But man the day flies by with these are in the “background”😂.

YES...it is full of a bunch of hooligans😂. Very fun and laid back not to serious but they do get on me when I start missing. "I thought you were a professional". It can be distracting and luckily, I had my notes because I was forgetting where I was standing at times. And as soon I get to the approach it's game on, especially near the end. Pressure practice. I have lots of fun with the guys. Some just want to bowl and hit average, to keep mind off everything else. While others do want to improve. It's nice not being so competitive sometimes.

@TillysAdventures i agree, I got roped into 3 different league nights, and each one is definitely different from the other, but I have fun and try to get atlesst above my average each game. A little banter never hurt anyone lol 😆

Thanks. Sucks I just missed the second one. I seemed upset because to make it you have to hit one. Even if it is lucky. Main goal for me is lead pin. And with this alley I get a lot of big bounces off the back wall.

Main reason I got the Night Breaker is that I probably won't get a chance like this again and it was a normal cost of a ball. Not some special limited availability, overpriced ball. I mainly use it for house shot right now and throw it in "sport bag" when I build bag for the pattern of the night. For house shots it above the Mindset in case that ball quicks hooking. I was looking at the Effect and then they dropped the Effect Tour. Oh the choices...lol

@@TillysAdventures For the tournament bag, you'll definitely want to look at the Effect Tour. It shapes differently than the Envy Tour but gives you something to step up to when the Envy Tour isn't making it to the pocket. I don't know when it will make it over there (it should be soon, it's a catalog ball, not an OEM release), so you can definitely have a look at it!

@ I really do want one of the effect series as that core looks gnarly. I usually get my balls through Amazon or BowlerX since it faster than ordering at pro shop. Effect was my plan to replace the black widow ghost. In due time.

@@TillysAdventures That's Interesting! BowlerX ships worldwide? I would have thought getting it from Legend Star would be closer for you, along with all of the international balls they get and demo! I'll have to let JR Raymond know how good the service is for you! Definitely look at the Effect for the BW Ghost replacement! That ball replaced my Black Widow Platinum Silver (S. Korean release).

It has been a minute. Missed it and now back on the grind.

Thanks. 🙏

They looked good at this alley. Completely different look from next alley. Which be posted soon. And sadly I didn’t do so hot at the tourny. It was tough with the heavy burn. These were prerecorded before I went down there.

Nope. Upon further review and tests I must of hit the mute button. 🤦‍♂️. God I’m a rookie. So much easier with a camera compared to phone and hate the low def wide angle.

Thanks a bunch, appreciate it! Time for the biggest bowling tournament of my career.💪

Like the live stream, good luck at the tournament! Ball roll looked great out there.

@ thanks and sweet. Live scares me as I can’t edit or control others actions. Even mine sometimes. But sweet you liked it and thanks 🙏 going to try my best💪

It just feels big to me. The core may be small but the coverstock got to be extremely strong. Since I am able to use other balls playing outside. But doesn’t really matter as we strategize how it will play in game and work with other balls in bag. I got it as the big control ball that my black widow 2.0 once was.

They choose not too. But it helps for focus at least. League night they are off and it’s kind of funny cause it feels unnatural. Almost want them to keep it on lol.

My home bowling alley has lights like that too. Surprisingly, I don't even notice them anymore.....now I'll probably go today and notice it and be bothered LOL
