thephantom1492 - I don't know if you're saying or think it's fake. From what I can see I don't see ANY indications in the video at all that would show it being fake. I honestly think this is real. It feels genuine through and through from the reactions to the focus on the lens to the general ball shadow and pins ALL falling in a unique different way on every throw and strike.
Actually it is not that impressive at all. To bowl a perfect game in sanctioned league play you bowl the same two lanes for all 12 shots. If you have bowled so long you should know that every time you throw a ball down the lane it picks up oil and the pattern changes. In fact when you bowl against different people their release and style can effect the lane differently from person to person because everyone throws the ball down the lawn differently. So when you bowl against one person to another the oil pattern will be completely different. So you bowl against me the lane would be different from when you bowl a friend and you would have to adjust to us differently because our balls take a different trajectory as they travel down the lane. This is what makes it so hard to bowl a perfect game. You have to adjust as you bowl. Have a freshly oiled lane makes this relatively easy because he knows exactly where to stand for every shot and where to aim. It is a great trick for show however a pro like Jason Belmonte can do this easily.
+Josh D, so you're saying that in real games a lot of the game is up to pure chance, rather than skill, therefore in either case there's nothing much to congratulate. In the case of bowling with others, it's just luck, and bowling alone, it's easy to get consistent strikes?
It is all skill my friend. There has been tests done. They have machines that test the bowling balls. They release the ball the same way every time. This is how they know what the ball is going to do down the lane when they are doing research and development. However like I said there have been tests done and they put a man against the machine and after so many shots a human can beat a machine because the machine can't compensate for the changes in the oil pattern as it is bowled so no it is not chance it is all skill. If you can consistently release the ball the same way every time and pay attention to the pattern you can bowl a perfect game. There where 2 perfect games bowled back to back weeks in my league. It is very easy to get consistent strikes from a skilled bowler on a lane that is freshly oiled. If you notice he is throwing a ball down a different lane every time beside the last two.
He could have done it faster if he didn't go back to lane 1 for the 11th shot. Should have gone to land 6 or 7 as those appeared ready with the ball returned. Also, it's a shame they stopped recording after hitting the 300. He should have kept going to see how long he could continue throwing strikes for. Imagine if he threw down a 900 in under 5 minutes.
He doesn't put his fingers into the ball, this phenomenon started about 20 years ago, and is the rage today because you don't actually have to learn proper technique for throwing a hook. That's why his left hand is in such a weird position during delivery. PBA allows this technique, but there's something weird about having both a thumb hole and a balance hole, you cannot have both.
Just wonderful, I have been researching "how to curve a bowling ball with two fingers" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Piylivern Remarkable Predominance - (search on google ) ? It is a great one off guide for discovering how to up your bowling game quickly minus the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my partner got excellent results with it.
That’s not bad. I just bowled my best game today. Previously was 257 with a house ball. And today I shot a 290. I picked up a 2 pin split. I think 5-10 pin. And then struck out the rest of the game. The next game I played I threw a strike in the first and second frame so I bowled a from my 2nd frame of one game to the 1st frame of the next 😭 not a legit 300 but 13 consecutive strikes… I was stoked to have accomplished that!!! Someone next to me was done bowling and was getting ready to leave but he stopped to watch me. And once I finished my 290 game he asked if I was a professional bowler😂 I said no but I want to be. And he said I have the potential to and score like I already am one. 🙏🏼🤞❤️
Each of those lanes were freshly oiled and lanes 1 and 2 while off camera were probably being prepped (oiled) as the bowler made his way down lanes. Freshly oiled lanes are far more consistent and easier for a good bowler to strike. They would be mostly consistent with the flat oil atop. The balls I suppose could have some differences, but round is round and unless there was a crack and the weight was the same (especially if manufactured by the same company) I doubt the balls contributed too much difference.
@krionic No he works at that bowling alley, and actually shot this after a womans league had finished. He had tried it a time before and got the first 7. I use to bowl with him in Junior league, he is very talented and holds something like a 225 average. He had 8 of his own bowling balls and 2 alley balls that he had to use.
I averaged 223 in YABA. He was off by 10 boards on some shots and still hit the pocket. The lanes were oiled for a wide open pocket. Try it on a PBA oil pattern. My home bowling alley did the same thing. My team was top 10 in the nation. We had easy lanes to bowl on with wide open pockets. In JSBA I only averaged 203. Ask Tommy Jones about me.
For 15 years that's where the record stayed. But unbeknownst to everyone, summoningsalt was secretly working on new time-saving strategies with a closed group of redditors. He realized that if you ran from lane 10 to lane 8, he would save 5 seconds from the world record. In 2032 after countless attempts and perseverance, he streamed it live on TwitchTV...{some purplish video}
I said that as well, it made no sense to run back to lane 1, or run at all. He could have done this whole thing on 2-4 lanes with more balls on the rack.
The two cycle Jaquio lane change still hasn't been successfully accomplished, probably would save an additional .8 on the run. It's been done in a casual game but not officially recorded.
This guy does the impossible, 2,000,000 views in 2.5 years. Kim Kardashian releases a "heavily similar version" of SPANX and it gets 100,000,000 hits. Physically, mentally and just pure luck wise, this was beyond an incredible feat. The idea of jumping lanes is even more impressive since most bowlers are very keen on foot placement and arrow location. The ability to reset himself, with a new lane each time, makes this even more impressive. Kudos chap. Kudos.
Bowling has become so ridiculously easy that a 300 game is a common feat nowadays! With the USBC allowing such a concentration of oil in the center of the lane all skill has been removed from the sport. Just stand left and throw it right and strike every time! Try it - you'll get your 300 soon enough! By the way I was a bowler for 43 years and was very passionate about the sport. Easy conditions convinced me to retire from the game. The clincher for me was when USBC changed their awards program and mandated that a 300 ring would be a once-in-a-lifetime achievement. Nice job of killing bowling USBC! You should be ashamed of yourself!
@@mikejones8426 I'm so great I got the opportunity to get my sanctioned (multiple 300) ring and my 800 ring prior to the change! Because I would been just a little bit upset with the change!
I am 40 and the highest game I bowled was 282. The fact you have 10 different balls, 10 different lanes, 10 slightly different oil patterns, literally every odd is against you. Well done sir 👏👏👏
I'm so sick of haters/trolls when watching entertaining real videos like this. It wasn't a competition. It wasn't for money. It wasn't rigged. I admit he clearly had advantages but he had a goal and accomplished it. It's way easier to sit in your underwear and critique someone else's accomplishments instead of completing a feat many say was "easy". The video doesn't state "Bowler Ben Ketola bowls impossible perfect game." I realize this will start a whole other chain of "hater" esponses but I had to say this. Instead of responding tho, go make your own video and try being happy for someone else who was simply having fun.
I think some of the “haters” are just poking fun at the video. I make off the cuff remarks sometimes, and live to regret it. The joke falls flat and I have egg on my face.
Back in the 70s as a kid, my friends and I were not the first to imagine trying something like this, nor were we the first to give up on the idea because we'd each need 3 balls drilled to our respective biases (allowing enough time for pin resets in three lanes each, we figured). Never occurred to any of us that you could impart that kind of hook bowling two-handed with lane balls. Bravo Ben.
My best friend has multiple 300's with both left and right hands. He's right handed, but often bowls lefty. He has a few bowling related video's on his UA-cam channel ExitThirteen.
This is so impossible on so many levels but he did it!!!! Also he THOUGHT HE HAD A CHANCE enough so to set all of this up which is just as impressive to me! Lol! Awesome!
Extremely impressive, never seen anything like it. But I bet he can cut off a bunch of seconds if he runs a little bit faster between the lanes and sets up the balls more convenient, and also instead of running back to the first lane he could go for the first available.
oooh, so your supposed to hit the PINS?! I was throwing them in the gutter thinking I was doing so well. Back to the drawing board I guess. Very impressive Ben. Congratulations on the worlds record.
What a great accomplishment! Cool, impressive, etc. I would really like to know more about the specifics: Bowling center, city, state; bowling ball(s): brand/model/weight, drilling layout, etc. If this was done with plastic house balls then I'm even more impressed. Ben, you have some insane skills!
It was done with a mixture that of bowling balls. Lane 1 - plastic spare ball Lane 2 - Old Storm Lucid Lane 3 - old Brunswick ball (can’t remember the name) Lane 4 - Old Storm Virtual Gravity Lane 5 - RG Defiant Soul Lane 6 - Storm IQ Solid Lane 7 - Storm IQ 30 Lane 8 - Storm Phaze Lane 9 - Storm Hy Road Lane 10 - Storm Phaze II Happened at 281 Bowl Cortland NY
I was never any good at the pin game but, just for the speed of gettin' it done, that was pretty kewl... Those med's must've kicked in right on time...
The video seems not to be edited, however a small trick could be done for this. If you connect all the pins with one string; that leads to a strike for sure. So, all the lanes are sat up before recording. Also when he finished the last lane he went to the first one ( paid time to set lane 1&2 ) That’s what I thought 💭
You would use "would have" in past conditionals to talk about something that did not happen: If it had been a little warmer we would have gone for a swim. He would have been very angry if he had seen you.
May I use your last example to demonstrate what is frequently incorrectly said? "He would have been very angry if he had seen you." would frequently be said as He would have been very angry if he WOULD HAVE seen you.
This is in the book of Revelations. Revelations 7:17 When someone gets 12 strikes in a row on different lanes, Jesus is coming back to earth. Its in the bible.
As someone who once worked in a bowling alley this is soooo much harder than an actual 300. Each lane varies slightly so the fact that he knows each lane’s tendencies is very impressive
I would like to see the oil "pattern" used on these alleys. It's easy to "wall they up" to the pocket. THAT increases scores a ton. Got a local house that does that with the senior citizen leagues in the AM. Old timers love the higher scores. Bowl more-pay more, everyone is happier. Now, IF they did wall them up...he still has to throw the ball for 12 frames, to get 12 strikes, on 10 different alleys. No matter what us serious bowlers think, it's still a hell of an accomplishment. Good Bowling!
He's 23? I thought he was in his mid 30's. Damn receding hair line! I feel your pain main, people always thought I was 10-15 years older than I actually was.
@@Tony1035610 Agreed. There are 10 frames in a game. But a strike in frame 10 enables you to have up to two more throws. Hence a maximum of 12 strikes.
strike 1: -1 strike 2: +2 strike 3: +0 strike 4: +5 strike 5: +1 strike 6: -1 strike 7: -1 strike 8: -2 strike 9: +0 strike 10: +1 strike 11: +5 go to lane 8 to optimize transition to 11th strike instead of back to 1. lineups could be optimised too, ~10s total in all the lineups combined
In our analysis, we were able to conclude the following statements: • The events that were observed on Ben’s stream cannot be modeled by any sensible, conventional probability distribution. • After accounting for any contributors of bias, the likelihood of this occurring is still unfathomably small. • There are no circumstances in a natural setting in which throwing balls could be dependent or biased to any notable degree, much less a degree strong enough to produce this result. • There is no way to accidentally manipulate these values in real time during an RSG speedrun, nor any conceivable way to do it intentionally using only conventional methods. The only sensible conclusion that can be drawn after this analysis is that Ben’s game was modified in order to manipulate the ball throwing and pin drop rates.
ThunderStruckCoach I've been Bowling for a while, and except for the 3rd or 4th strike, they were all placed pretty well perfectly in the pocket. Even that one was still very much strike worthy. I usually think people are faking these sorts of things, but this one I believe.
One thing I don't understand: Once he hits the strike on lane 10, why does he go back to lane 1? He would be quicker on like l 8 and the pins are already set up there.
the point isn't 12 strikes in a row. The point is 12 strikes in the shortest amount of time. Yes, freshly oiled lanes across the house make this task doable and not comparable to a single lane PBA event.
Many years ago, Ben commented some extraordinarily disrespectful jabs at Walter Ray in several separate videos of him. He chalked up Walter's success to luck and lack of adequate competition, as well as a lackluster era for technology. Thinking he was trolling, I engaged with him in an effort to understand his views more, and it got so ridiculous that I concluded he must either have been trolling, or had a thought disorder. After weeks of exchanges, we actually arranged a best-of-7 match in some town between where we both lived at the time with $500 at stake. I went to the trouble to call the center we agreed was at an appropriate midpoint, asked if they'd be willing and able to oil a flat pattern for us one day, and essentially scheduled it, contingently. Ben gave me kudos for being so serious as to go to those lengths, and when it came time to confirm we'd actually bowl head to head, he suddenly went deathly silent. I have possibly never met a less mature and more arrogant bowler in 17 years of avid competition, and I assure you the last thing this guy needs is dozens of comments spewing worship and praise for, albeit a cool feat, an ultimately pointless one. Ben, if you ever read this, I hope life has afforded you the opportunity to mature considerably. Congratulations on this, though.
Hey thanks for switching bowling balls back In The day bowled a sactioned 300 with your virtual gravity hope you had luck with that Cell I couldn't stand lol
I was curious to see this because I thought the machine would limit the speed. Still very impressive! I was bowling for 10 years and never played a game on that many lanes.
Better check that oil pattern. Seems pretty walled up to me. Missed left and right a few times and still hit pretty flush. Either way still very impressive.
@@jstar2452 The lanes are oiled (aka -- "walled up") to produce nice flush pocket hits. This is a really nice house pattern that is put together to get the results we saw here. You still have to throw a good ball, and there's an element of luck. You can still leave a ringing 10 with a flush pocket hit, but the lanes were (probably) doctored up a bit to aid in the event.
And now starts the process of maximizing efficiency (i.e. not running the entire length of the lanes between the 10th and 11th; but, say, only running back to lanes 7-8. That right there would save about 3 seconds). Judging from the timing, you could probably do this using just 4 lanes.
There might have been a reason for him wanting to go back to 1 and 2. If 1 and 2 are his highest averaging pair, this might be why he gave up a few extra seconds.
Assuming no shenanigans were involved (like CGI pins, narrow-bottom pins, mechanical assistance, etc), that was absolutely impressive! And that has to be some sort of world record; call the Guiness Book people!
Absolutely NOT to take away from this guy's accomplishment here, but he's rolling this on a house shot, while PBA tour pros (even on a "throw strikes" event) are rolling on tour patterns, which are by magnitudes more difficult. Not saying he couldn't do it, or even perform well, but 300's on house patterns are just a whole different beast compared to tour patterns. I bowled a summer league on PBA patterns and to say I was humbled would be an understatement.
Alley Manager: "We close in 2 Minutes!"

10 different lanes, ten different balls, on ten slightly different shots to throw 12 strikes that fast. This is a feat on so many levels.

different lanes doesn't count as a 300 game really
regardless there's definitely ways to improve time
How is it not the most impressive feat bowling has to offer, tbh
it's fake............
The real phenomenon is he found 10 balls that fit his fingers. That is actual magic.

what adds to the impressiveness is the variables of each lane and ball being different.

giving me the raspberries...:)
The traditional roll is going out the window anymore. I've seen more then a few guys two-hand cranking the ball on the PBA lately.
This technique is well suited for dropping the ball and moving on to the next lane

Or find a bigger, 24-lane centre to use.

Regardless of how they set up the lanes it's still an amazing feat. And it's an old house which adds another variable.
oooh, so your supposed to hit the PINS?! I was throwing them in the gutter thinking I was doing so well. Back to the drawing board I guess. Very impressive Ben. Congratulations on the worlds record.
That was incredible. I wish I could have been there to root him on and cheer for him when he did it!
Someone needs to add Steve Buscemi going "woo!" after each strike
BarryDennen12 or Owen Wilson saying “wow”
rollin rocks tonight dude!
Way to go Donny! If you will it dude it is no dream.
What a great accomplishment! Cool, impressive, etc. I would really like to know more about the specifics: Bowling center, city, state; bowling ball(s): brand/model/weight, drilling layout, etc. If this was done with plastic house balls then I'm even more impressed. Ben, you have some insane skills!
It was done with a mixture that of bowling balls.
Lane 1 - plastic spare ball
Lane 2 - Old Storm Lucid
Lane 3 - old Brunswick ball (can’t remember the name)
Lane 4 - Old Storm Virtual Gravity
Lane 5 - RG Defiant Soul
Lane 6 - Storm IQ Solid
Lane 7 - Storm IQ 30
Lane 8 - Storm Phaze
Lane 9 - Storm Hy Road
Lane 10 - Storm Phaze II
Happened at 281 Bowl Cortland NY
Extremely impressive! The running between lanes reflects that of someone who has fell a couple of times running in bowling shoes.
My son (16) bowled a 300 on lanes 1+2 at this bowling alley. Definitely one heck of a moment.
what if he missed?
This guy: *"we don't do that here."*
何がすごいって、マイボーラー（カーブボーラー）はレーンとボールでコンディションがそれぞれ違うのに全てストライクを達成しているところ。事前に試投して確認していたんだろうけど、１０個のボールをこの速さで使いこなすだけでもすごい
“Obviously you’re not a golfer.” - The Dude
Absolutely amazing!
Congratulations.
That was incredible!
Yes, I can spare 1 minute and 47 seconds to watch this master. Zen to you amigo.
I would love to see this again with a smooth dolly set up. That's for when he breaks the record again.
This so much more impressive than what I thought it was going to be. Just a video sped up.
I watched it at 2x, so he could set the record faster.
I was never any good at the pin game but, just for the speed of gettin' it done, that was pretty kewl... Those med's must've kicked in right on time...
Magnets...
*it's magnets*
Haha
Not yet, but magnets will replace string-pin machines.
The video seems not to be edited, however a small trick could be done for this.
If you connect all the pins with one string; that leads to a strike for sure.
So, all the lanes are sat up before recording.
Also when he finished the last lane he went to the first one ( paid time to set lane 1&2 )
That’s what I thought 💭
That is one explanation as to why he ran to the first lane..
So this is what it's like to be on coke.
I laughed so much at this I had to log in to like.
What?
Coke-AIN
Ahhh, that would be Coke de a la carte ! , sir. Namaste
How many times before doing it? That's pure determination!
the dude abides.
These lanes really tie the room together.
He really had a score of 120 and not 300 when you add all the scores from each lane.
Awesome feat! I just wish the cameraman would have stayed quiet.
Don't you mean "I just wish the cameraman HAD stayed quiet"?
You would use "would have" in past conditionals to talk about something that did not happen:
If it had been a little warmer we would have gone for a swim.
He would have been very angry if he had seen you.
be glad there was a camera man
May I use your last example to demonstrate what is frequently incorrectly said?
"He would have been very angry if he had seen you."
would frequently be said as
He would have been very angry if he WOULD HAVE seen you.
lol... i don't care
That's the brute force way of getting a strike.
This is in the book of Revelations. Revelations 7:17 When someone gets 12 strikes in a row on different lanes, Jesus is coming back to earth. Its in the bible.
Whoa...This is the first time I've seen your profile outside of Laugh Factory videos...It's a little freaky...
PK Comedy thats as believable as anything else in the bible
Scientists have proven many things in the Bible to be true :)
spydergs07 no they haven't.
spydergs07 liar
As someone who once worked in a bowling alley this is soooo much harder than an actual 300. Each lane varies slightly so the fact that he knows each lane’s tendencies is very impressive
doubt he knew each lanes tendencies. looked like luck.
@@bermchasin That would make this even more improbable of happening lol
So was this... frame perfect?
My favorite part of this is how it was just Ben and his hype man at a local spot setting a world record.
If bowling was actually played like this I might watch
Did this in Wii sports back in 08.
I think everyone's overlooking the fact he rolled a complete game without drinking a beer. I've never seen a bowler do that before either.
Amazing ! 10 different bowling balls too ?
Every time I was like “Nah he missed it. Oh.”
11 solid and ONE a little light. Impressive.
I would like to see the oil "pattern" used on these alleys. It's easy to "wall they up" to the pocket. THAT increases scores a ton. Got a local house that does that with the senior citizen leagues in the AM. Old timers love the higher scores. Bowl more-pay more, everyone is happier. Now, IF they did wall them up...he still has to throw the ball for 12 frames, to get 12 strikes, on 10 different alleys. No matter what us serious bowlers think, it's still a hell of an accomplishment. Good Bowling!
Pfffffff give me a wii remote and I could make some type of magic happen
Or the cheat code for Elf bowling.
He's 23? I thought he was in his mid 30's. Damn receding hair line! I feel your pain main, people always thought I was 10-15 years older than I actually was.
Except for that last 11 frames, I can bowl like that too.
Only 10 frames in a game :thinking:
@@Tony1035610 Agreed. There are 10 frames in a game. But a strike in frame 10 enables you to have up to two more throws. Hence a maximum of 12 strikes.
I once bowled 12 strikes in a row, but they were in two different games.
strike 1: -1
strike 2: +2
strike 3: +0
strike 4: +5
strike 5: +1
strike 6: -1
strike 7: -1
strike 8: -2
strike 9: +0
strike 10: +1
strike 11: +5
go to lane 8 to optimize transition to 11th strike instead of back to 1. lineups could be optimised too, ~10s total in all the lineups combined
I go down on one knee. Start praying and wind up in the gutter, I call it Tebowling.
This is how bowling should be played on tv
1:12 hahaha u failed 1x ... wait what
Blezard x he curved it
In our analysis, we were able to conclude the following statements:
• The events that were observed on Ben’s stream cannot be modeled by any sensible, conventional probability distribution.
• After accounting for any contributors of bias, the likelihood of this occurring is still unfathomably small.
• There are no circumstances in a natural setting in which throwing balls could be dependent or biased to any notable degree, much less a degree strong enough to produce this result.
• There is no way to accidentally manipulate these values in real time during an RSG speedrun, nor any conceivable way to do it intentionally using only conventional methods.
The only sensible conclusion that can be drawn after this analysis is that Ben’s game was modified in order to manipulate the ball throwing and pin drop rates.
It's hard to see the fishing line that sweeps the pins, but it's there.
ThunderStruckCoach I've been Bowling for a while, and except for the 3rd or 4th strike, they were all placed pretty well perfectly in the pocket. Even that one was still very much strike worthy. I usually think people are faking these sorts of things, but this one I believe.
obviously, you don't bowl at all because you'd know how dumb of a comment that was. lol
obviously, you have no sense of sarcasm
Scott Snyder the lanes were doped up did you see a slide right into the pocket every time they dump the oil right in the middle
One thing I don't understand: Once he hits the strike on lane 10, why does he go back to lane 1? He would be quicker on like l 8 and the pins are already set up there.
Now do this on a US open oil pattern
the point isn't 12 strikes in a row. The point is 12 strikes in the shortest amount of time. Yes, freshly oiled lanes across the house make this task doable and not comparable to a single lane PBA event.
I threw 10 in a row at Nationals in Vegas last year. Placed 193rd in Standard All-Events.
That style is crazy.
Many years ago, Ben commented some extraordinarily disrespectful jabs at Walter Ray in several separate videos of him. He chalked up Walter's success to luck and lack of adequate competition, as well as a lackluster era for technology. Thinking he was trolling, I engaged with him in an effort to understand his views more, and it got so ridiculous that I concluded he must either have been trolling, or had a thought disorder. After weeks of exchanges, we actually arranged a best-of-7 match in some town between where we both lived at the time with $500 at stake. I went to the trouble to call the center we agreed was at an appropriate midpoint, asked if they'd be willing and able to oil a flat pattern for us one day, and essentially scheduled it, contingently. Ben gave me kudos for being so serious as to go to those lengths, and when it came time to confirm we'd actually bowl head to head, he suddenly went deathly silent.
I have possibly never met a less mature and more arrogant bowler in 17 years of avid competition, and I assure you the last thing this guy needs is dozens of comments spewing worship and praise for, albeit a cool feat, an ultimately pointless one.
Ben, if you ever read this, I hope life has afforded you the opportunity to mature considerably. Congratulations on this, though.
Hey thanks for switching bowling balls back In The day bowled a sactioned 300 with your virtual gravity hope you had luck with that Cell I couldn't stand lol
Love bowling, can't do this. Very cool.
I was curious to see this because I thought the machine would limit the speed. Still very impressive! I was bowling for 10 years and never played a game on that many lanes.
Bowls like a boss...
... runs to get next ball like shy-boy.
Wow you deserve the win!
Who do they think they are? He is!
Better check that oil pattern. Seems pretty walled up to me. Missed left and right a few times and still hit pretty flush. Either way still very impressive.
Explain
@@jstar2452 The lanes are oiled (aka -- "walled up") to produce nice flush pocket hits. This is a really nice house pattern that is put together to get the results we saw here. You still have to throw a good ball, and there's an element of luck. You can still leave a ringing 10 with a flush pocket hit, but the lanes were (probably) doctored up a bit to aid in the event.
it was a THS after league.. definitely not walled
And now starts the process of maximizing efficiency (i.e. not running the entire length of the lanes between the 10th and 11th; but, say, only running back to lanes 7-8. That right there would save about 3 seconds). Judging from the timing, you could probably do this using just 4 lanes.
There might have been a reason for him wanting to go back to 1 and 2. If 1 and 2 are his highest averaging pair, this might be why he gave up a few extra seconds.
Very impressive. I wonder how many attempts that took.
Saw a Bloke bowl a Strike in 2 lanes once a Ball in each hand !! :-) :-)
This is just AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Assuming no shenanigans were involved (like CGI pins, narrow-bottom pins, mechanical assistance, etc), that was absolutely impressive! And that has to be some sort of world record; call the Guiness Book people!
The PBA on TV just showed the PBA Strike Derby. 8 top pros have 2 minutes to throw as many strikes as they can. This guy would have done great there.
Absolutely NOT to take away from this guy's accomplishment here, but he's rolling this on a house shot, while PBA tour pros (even on a "throw strikes" event) are rolling on tour patterns, which are by magnitudes more difficult. Not saying he couldn't do it, or even perform well, but 300's on house patterns are just a whole different beast compared to tour patterns. I bowled a summer league on PBA patterns and to say I was humbled would be an understatement.
This guy is insane
That was properly incredible!
Isn’t 13 strikes 300, I could’ve swore he only threw it 12 times either way it’s really impressive.
3 on the 10th, if consecutive strikes, so 12 strikes = perfect game/300.
Im surprised more people dont do the two handed technique
bro would go crazy at a strike derby
I respect it
