Welp I finally did it I shot 244-257-300 = 801 for my first ever 800 and both were sanctioned at league. Thanks for all the great comments. Always nice to have so many rooting for you.
Mike, I subscribed to your channel if you ever decide to make videos and post them on UA-cam... You should man. Your game is incredible, and what a great personality you have too! I hope this will inspire you to start recording. What a pleasure it was watching you bowl 🎳
Low key, that's so impressive to just walk up and throw a 300 his first game against Packy and on camera. Good for him. Dude absolutely kills those pins with a smooth stroke.
I was thinking "no way he gets a 300, he would have had that in the title". The surprise was so much better because you didn't put it in the title. Awesome.
I was the same, I was expecting a spare shot somewhere, even hitting the 12th shot, I was thinking he might leave a pin or two or throw a bad shot... was surprised.
Although, to be fair, he took a 20 year break from bowling or something like that. Watching his game, if he had continued to bowl the last 20 years, I would guess that he would have between 10-20 perfect games already. On the right oil pattern, on a good day, this guy can put 12 strong balls into the pocket. It's just a matter of finding a day when he gets all the carries, as he did on this video.
Mike looks like the guy who says he could‘ve gone pro but didnt because he wasnt interested at the time. I would believe him that story 100% after those matches.😂 Awesome bowling!
I’ve always loved the sport and try to bring in new people to the game. I’m always rooting for the opponent. I love when they bowl well. I usually bowl better as well.
So many great bowlers would’ve acted like such a douchebag losing a match like that. Kudos to you Packy for being humble and having good conversation throughout the match rather than locking down and not talking or bitching about the shots he got away with. Congrats Mike - super cool to shoot a 300 on UA-cam! Great bowling!
@@TheHouseBowling I know the feeling. For our Friday night league night, it always seems like our opponent bowls their personal best against us 😅. Last week we had a 163 average Bowler shoot their first 650... When their team gets 109 pins of handicap per game, how do you beat that?! 🤷🏽 🤣🤣🤣
@Mogachaffe my team on Wednesdays about 5 years ago (very nonchalant league) seemed to bring the best out of people as well. We had a head to head scoring system... I bowled against an old gentleman who was almost 90 years old with 123 pins of handicap.... he shot 500 against me... needless to say with my 4 pins I got absolutely smoked lmao. I shot 750 🤣🤣... and lost by well over 100...
Great video Packy. Would you ever consider coming down to Seattle wa hold an event for something similar like this for people to come and bowl against you !
You got "Munsoned" in that first game Packy....and this is one your local houses too. Now drop and give Mike $100. Hah. Congrats Mike! You'll hit that 800 series soon!!
I love Mikes stiffarm left hand. Nice game brother. That 9 pin in the second game was nasty. I left a stone 9 for my 299 game. Still looking for my first perfect game. Always great to see another Iowa boy shreddin the rack. Fun match. Great videos.
Mike's swing is excellent because he doesn't turn his hips when the downswing starts. He creates the torsion needs just before the arm comes down ... like in golf ... you have to 'turn out' your hips before the arms start to come down.
Packey your such a great person man. Great bowling match, absolutely loved the video! Love the content. Everyday i come home from work looking forward to a new house video...like bein a kid lookin forward to scooby doo 😂
The 5 pin!!! That was us and the teams we went with! I got to be the first woman to sign the 5 pin, although I'm not sure I should be proud of that... lol
Not gonna lie. I've seen many "Pros v. Challenger" type videos, and almost every time, the pro spanks the 220 average league bowler something like 278-194. It's never close, and I always feel bad for the amateur. I mean, they are good bowlers, and it must be kinda tough to be crushed like they don't know how to bowl. But I have NEVER seen a guy bowl like Mike did. He just bowled his own game and made it look really easy. Gratz! You deserve a lot of credit.
That was inspiring. I have been struggling in league. Everyone has been beating me. I can not get a single break. I have tried several balls, and nada. I have switched to the purple. Maybe, that will solve the problem. But, seeing Pack struggle has inspired me to continue on!
@@TheHouseBowlingI only bowl league once a week. my last game with the purple 230. then went and practiced Sunday 766. I noticed tve less i do with my hand the better it works. it has solved my ills it seems
Y'all should've bowled a 3rd game to see if he would have shot 800 for the first time. This pressure is probably more than league and he's on 2 lanes, @USBC give this man another ring.
When pin five stands strong after the first throw, everyone who raises their hand and the thrower misses the pin, they get a Jagermeister shot or beer from the thrower😂 but if the thrower hit's it, nothing happens. That is a fun addition to bowling and creates pressure to the thrower!
0:49 LOL I bet they made the re-release better than the original. Had to get the original off your hand pretty much dead on and it was the pinnacle of "Stop throwing urethane or my ball will act like there's teflon in front of the head pin". Someone in my Tuesday league broke 730 with the re-release. EDIT: Ok never mind. Pocket 5-10 is inexcusable for resin with an engine if it's 15 or 16 lb lol. Plastic can get that out
Packy is the man. He put up with a bunch of random questions before during and still after the match. Always root for him have been for a long time. Go get em this year Packy
It was a blast. Packy answered a bunch of my random questions and was truly awesome to bowl with. I hope he asks for a rematch 😂
Nice bowling!
The shape on the REAL Absolute is so interesting compared to the original release.
Nice bowling man.
You’re a beast my man keep going
That performance was unreal. Great bowling
Great bowling! Congrats on your 300! 🎉😊

What a beast!! Great job, well deserved!!
Your going to get an even higher series, please keep updating, keep that confidence!
Start a channel
Great job Mike!

@@mreid08nope didn’t say anything until the video came out today
Congratulations Sir that was some great work out there
What would have been really impressive is if he'd bowled a 300 on the second game entirely with the backup ball.
@@mikeerickson5671
I got a feeling you would be a great teammate for just about everyone.
Older dude, calm and cool, no bragging, no trash talking, left it on the lanes!!! Best 1V1 on you tube!! Packy was awesome giving props to him!!!
Low key, that's so impressive to just walk up and throw a 300 his first game against Packy and on camera. Good for him. Dude absolutely kills those pins with a smooth stroke.
Almost reminds me of big Wes really smooth ball
i stopped eating to give this man a round of applause. well deserved to that man

Now its in the title :(
I respect Packy even more for posting this video. Great sportsmanship. Dude came into his house and said “hold my beer”. Nice job guys.
Love how this guy has only shot two 300s and proceeds to shoot one against a pro on UA-cam. Epic!
Highlight tape for the ages!
two 300s sanctioned. people like this man have 50ish or more 300s in practice
the 220 avg surprises me, Id think a 227+

That’s awesome. Congratulations Mike. You’ll have this memory forever!
Absolute beast. No 800’s? Packs, you got hustled 😂😂. Here’s 21/23 for you
Mike and Packy should have rolled a game #3 to see if he could bowl an unsanctioned 800 series on this channel.
Hey Mike from Iowa ... Im from Panamá, Central America, and i just saw your 3rd 300! Congrats man!
Gotta say both of you great bowling, Mike congratulations on the 300 game. Keep up the work, and the 800 series is coming I believe in you
Mike looks like the guy who says he could‘ve gone pro but didnt because he wasnt interested at the time. I would believe him that story 100% after those matches.😂 Awesome bowling!
Love you packy for doing this. I think this needs to be a regular thing.
Congratulations Mike . That 300 will be immortalized on UA-cam forever. Btw love your game. Very quiet and repeatable.
I’ve always loved the sport and try to bring in new people to the game. I’m always rooting for the opponent. I love when they bowl well. I usually bowl better as well.

That's crazy. Good job Mike.
Hasn't shot an 800, but comes out and shoots a 300 on Camera?! What an absolute beast! Great work!
Crushed me!!

Just had a guy in league shoot a scratch 700 series who had a handicap in the high 30s

I mean I have 5 sanctioned 300’s with a 208 ave but never bowled an 800..but still trying
It was great seeing Big Mike Erikson snapping one off on ya, Pack! Good Show!
I grew up in Galva, Illinois, and we had an Eastgate Lanes there until a few years ago. Cool seeing that same name somewhere else.
Great video Packy. Would you ever consider coming down to Seattle wa hold an event for something similar like this for people to come and bowl against you !
This guy is from my area. Just bowled next to him on league last night! Guy is great!
Mike is a BEAST.
Sick video. More of this.
Gotta find more challengers😈
Nice and slow feet, great release. Congrats Mike!
@8:40-8:44 Ryan was all quit in the back when u said that 😂😂🤣👏
Awesome job, lots of fun to watch.
You got "Munsoned" in that first game Packy....and this is one your local houses too. Now drop and give Mike $100. Hah.
Congrats Mike! You'll hit that 800 series soon!!
What a damn bowler! Got me jumping and cheering when we got that 300, Hell yeah!
That was fun! Great bowling Mike!
What??? The right side appeared to have more miss room than the left. Unusual LOL

That's Awesome!
Congrats on the 300!! Cool it was caught on video.
Love the vids so much. Especially the challenge ones. Keep it up
When I think 'bowling' and 'humble beast' it always comes up The Big Ugly, but this gentleman qualifies as well. Congrats, Mike, ^5 !👍
Awesome video. Nice that your willing to something like this for your fans/local house bowlers.
Hopefully more try and beat me!
Mike's swing is excellent because he doesn't turn his hips when the downswing starts. He creates the torsion needs just before the arm comes down ... like in golf ... you have to 'turn out' your hips before the arms start to come down.
That man deserves a bonus for that 300. Such a smooth shot. Wouldn't be surprised if he had an 8 since this was posted.
Ahhh shouldve bowled another! Give the man his shot at his first 8! Good on Pack for not spoiling the title as well!
Packey your such a great person man. Great bowling match, absolutely loved the video! Love the content. Everyday i come home from work looking forward to a new house video...like bein a kid lookin forward to scooby doo 😂
Bro gave Pack $3 on his own channel! He’s definitely Elite!✊🏾 Good bowling Sir!
That dudes ball makes a cool sound when he throws it
The 5 pin!!! That was us and the teams we went with! I got to be the first woman to sign the 5 pin, although I'm not sure I should be proud of that... lol
Real Absolute sales skyrocketing after this video
When I struck on a ball that I didn't like, I'd always tell my team mates that "I threw that one just bad enough!"
A lot of class was demonstrated by both during this match. Mike reminds me more of a young Wes Malott with his strength.
I feel Packy owes him a 300 ring now lol.

That ball is better than the original - NRG Pearl vs R2S. Matched up perfect to the shot.
Haha that's crazy this guy just showed up out of nowhere and casually bowled 300.
Soo entertaining. I missed Packy’s come on and watching Madison’s eye rolls
Mike throws it like he took no more than 2 months off. Dayum
Teal Rhino Pro is my favorite ball. Used it 4/6 games today in a singles tournament where I averaged 236.. I ended up 2nd. I love that ball.
WOW !!! .. Nice bowling Mike !!! .. what a nice guy .. great match !!
Y'all should've bowled a 3rd game to see if he would have shot 800 for the first time. This pressure is probably more than league and he's on 2 lanes, @USBC give this man another ring.
My boys are both 2 hand bowlers and love your channel. They were pretty excited to hear you bowled at WSU since we bowl at Atomic in Richland.
I love good bowlers....once the outcome is no longer in doubt they always root for the 300.
Let’s go Iowa!!
He's playing that defense with that inhale/exhale question haha
Classic get in your head move. Just sayin'.
I had to try something I didn’t want that 9th/10th roll off lol
That was pretty impressive. Yeah he got a few good carries, but he threw the ball ridiculously well. Nice job Mike! Fun to watch a 300 like that.
This looked really fun. I hope you do more of these pro v amateur matches in the future.
killer 300 from the guest! killing it!
Cool to see someone from Iowa. Me and my girlfriend love Tiger Bowl.
Quite rare to see a bowler taller than Packy.
Gotcha with the old "do you breath in or out" question.
When the 'Joe' made the 'Pro' look average 😅 good stuff. ❤
He did for sure hahaha
@@TheHouseBowlingI’m still the Joe fo sho 😂
That was the kind of video everyone loves to see
Appreciate the love!
Mike is the best bowler I have ever seen in my life.
I worked with an Adam Jeffres in Kansas City is this you???
When pin five stands strong after the first throw, everyone who raises their hand and the thrower misses the pin, they get a Jagermeister shot or beer from the thrower😂 but if the thrower hit's it, nothing happens. That is a fun addition to bowling and creates pressure to the thrower!
Mike said he's never bowled an 800 series. You should've let him bowl one more game Packy! This was his chance!
There are so many great bowlers out there. I am so glad that I participate in the sport.
0:49 LOL I bet they made the re-release better than the original. Had to get the original off your hand pretty much dead on and it was the pinnacle of "Stop throwing urethane or my ball will act like there's teflon in front of the head pin".
Someone in my Tuesday league broke 730 with the re-release.
EDIT: Ok never mind. Pocket 5-10 is inexcusable for resin with an engine if it's 15 or 16 lb lol. Plastic can get that out
Clutch Mike!
Holy sh*t! Mikes a F’ing machine
Should have filmed him one more game... he was on track to shooting an 800!
I’m from Des Moines Iowa! Great games Mike! Way to go dude
Thanks for the kind words man. I bowl Tue mornings at great escapes in pleasant hill.
effortless. thats what Mike is
Awesome video! Super cool to watch a 300 game. Great job!
I loved getting crushed!
I actually rooted him loudly while watching this video. That's awesome
Loved getting crushed!! Was fun for me to sit back and watch!
Packy is the man. He put up with a bunch of random questions before during and still after the match. Always root for him have been for a long time. Go get em this year Packy
I’m so in. My back is bad but bowling is good if I take it easy.
Wow, just wow, what a time to bowl your 3rd 300!!
Excellent bowling Mike! That was epic!!
WoW,, that dude is a strike machine,,GO FOR A REMATCH PACKY !!!!!
I don’t even like bowling, but I enjoyed that.
Smooth dude. Let the ball do the work.
The classic 300 I came close ish to my very first tonight. I've been close 3 times.
Storm gonna sign him to national staff aka the Matt O'GRADY replacement
He's gotta earn it!! ❤😊
Miss Matt O'GRADY 😊
Mike Had a 91.66 Strike %
Hard to beat that
22 out of 24!!❤😊
Say Mike Can u get us Normal folks that Ball with the Chris Via Hookup??
😊
@@ronaldvanengen1887he offered them up for sale in may and I bought one I wasn’t given one lol
Considering that ball was from Chris Via, it makes sense that Mike would bowl 300 when Via did it twice on tv, Via knows his bowling balls!
Great video. Thanks
give him that SPANK lol. love ya pack.
556 in two games. Sheeeesh 😂
Very entertaining Vlog! He kick your butt at your home alley!!😅
Damnnnn mike is a beast!! His consistency is unmatched!!
I would love to bowl you packy. I have been bowming for 9 years. And i love it. I would like to bowl a pro
That Real Absolute is really like that. Amazing ball.
Thank you Chris V for hooking up Mike , lol Mercy . He out here killing it
Nice shooting Mike! I hope to be good like you one day my man
I’m still relearning myself, never give up and take practice serious. You’ll be shooting high scores soon
Hope you threw another for a shot at 800. Great 300❤❤
I've yet to bowl a 300 but have an 800. Its starting to feel that is harder to do than bowling a 300 haha
