@@kellibrenneke2253 well he was 1st seed so he did well if he makes one of those 7 10s split he wins that game as randy said so he would havent had to do the extra 9/10 frames a break for the other guy you cant predict a 7 10 split well let someone slse make some money someone commented on i answered tat the 3 pin split was a pin in the pit and it was mechanical error i cant believe people dont know thats legal the pin in the pit are ok its an automatic machine just as if a pin is struck on the pin deck just a break good to hear from you i remember theolder bowlers im a senior go to utube search they have alot of old matches if you want to
Same. I respect most 2-handers, but overall I don't like it. I do love EJ but I also really like McCune. Haven't seen Kevin on TV before but I remember his dad Eugene, and the 'hard and fast' style reminds me of guys like Robert 'Maximum Bob' Smith who I used to love watching.

@@Nocappucino97 yea true but it’s some trash 2 handed bowlers out there as well you either got it or u don’t because if it was easy every two hander on Earth would be pba hall of fame
Guarantee EJ isn’t a fan of this format. Dominated matchplay, which normally would mean he’s the #1 seed in stepladder finals yet again for a fourth major this year-instead eliminated in Top 8, despite the matchplay performance.
Well they bowl how many games in match play? If you’re #1 through all of them you should be able to handle winning 2 of 3 against anybody. Stepladder’s such a lazy format, I’m glad to see them have to actually win instead of just get lucky for 1 game (normally it’s because the guy who’s climbed the whole stepladder gets tired and has a bad game that they win rather than they actually have to go out and beat somebody in a competitive match).
@@matrixphijr stepladder is an objectively terrible format. You make the lowest qualifying player play multiple games from easiest to hardest, meanwhile the number one seed plays one game on broken down lanes. Bracket tournaments make far more sense. Let the first and last seed play it out first and everyone bowls on the same breakdown, and the same fatigue level
I hope I see more Kayhko his unique, unorthodox form is one of my favorites to watch. His consistency is on a different level. (Compared to me that is)
What a wild tournament pattern. always crazy to see guys easily dropping 250, 260 on league, struggle to get 210. Not like a lefty, or righty, or anything else makes the difference.
I honestly think that they should’ve done the same format as last year. Because this looks like a playoffs tournament. Don’t read this if you haven’t seen it yet EJ was robbed in the 10th frame of the first game. Even though he didn’t throw the best shot, with all that power he creates, it really doesn’t make sense to leave a 7-10, it would make more sense if it was a 10 pin or a 7 pin, not both of them
7-10s happen to everyone, they just happen to power players less frequently. And in my opinion the only bad break in bowling is the solid 8. A ball hitting pocket perfectly doesn't leave a 7, 10, or 7-10. It happens, I don't think thats getting robbed
IF EJ happen to throw a PB or PH he would have at least 3 to 5 more title ... LOOK at this TANK.... look at last year PlayOff when EJ throwing that Blue Tank and this TANK
EJ just seemed to have a couple mental lapses. If he knocks down either the 7 or the 10 in the tenth frame of game 1 on his spare attempt, McCune has to double to win. Maybe would’ve been a different outcome.
McCune showed some disrespect during the game and especially when he threw straight ball like his victory was clear, even though the game was not over. But EJ defeated McCune in round 2, and that final word "Not Dead Yet" was so sick. Great Work EJ🔥🔥
@@vin004 You're right. But if you compare McCune with Svensson, Svensson had focused till the last frame, even though he is certain that he had lost. But in McCune didn't, even though the game was not determined. I think he should've focused on the last shot and THEN pray for god, not just giving up the last shot and let the future decide. The broadcast teams also said "oh no..." in a slight negative way, so still I don't think that was a best behavior. Thanks for the different view.
@@vin004 I went to another channel and saw the full game, and I could hear them saying that cuz they were shocked at the ball's speed. thanks again for correcting ;)
@@Eric42RandomVideos imagine it being the first time u made the top 5 in ur career and now instead of u making the show u have to bowl this match play format.

Also has to be killing business from all the manufacturers and Pro Shops cause why buy I reactive ball at an astronomical price when everyone see's their favorite bowler only using Urethane every time they are on TV.

@@MetroBreezyy no it's called i can't roll my wrist with one hand I'm too weak or i don't get enough pin action with my low rev rate. Either way evolution has nothing to do with it.
@Iceman511 if I kicked a bowling ball down the lane would I be a bowler? I better question for you. Why are Men and Women's bowling separate. Like PBA/PWBA? What's the exact reason men can't bowl a PWBA tournament?
@@thebriangroves do the rules allow you to kick the ball down the lane? If so, then yes. The difference in averages between men and women are so different as to require different leagues. This is t the case between one handers an bihanders
@Iceman511 I bet there are similar differences between 2 handers and bowlers that there are between men's and women's bowling. Let's say avg 2 handers has maybe 500 Rev rate and throws 20mph, the avg bowler has 350 Rev rate and throws 17mph. The avg woman is probably 15mpg and 250-300 Rev rate.

@@thebriangroves I wholly disagree. The highest averages on my league are 250-350rpm one handed men. The hot shot bihander might be in the top ten. Do you have any evidence that bihanders are posting significantly higher averages, to the point of similarity with men and women?
It’s crazy to see someone make EJ’s throw look slow 👀
That’s what I thought
Those are some really good bowlers.
Yup

Can’t deny the success the two-handers bring to the game, but also can’t deny that I’m a traditionalist. If EJ is in the game I’m cheering for him.

I bowl 2 handed still takes tons of skill to hit that same spot on the lane consistently to strike
I’m a newer bowler. I bowl one-handed but most of my favorite bowlers are two-handed

There was no "matchplay" in this tournament. Matchplay is 1 versus 1. There was only qualifying. You're thinking of qualifying.

When you understand a specific pattern it becomes easier than any houseshot. They are pro because they can play all type of patterns.
@@TheHabstrickreally? Interesting why does a pattern become easier than a house shot?
The scout thrown at 25:15 was just disgusting lol

Why the massive space between paragraphs? Never seen that before unless it’s a joke.
Man, watching Kayhko hurts my eyes!
I love watching him, so unique!
Mccune begged his ball to much. Shows throwing it hard gets pin carry even when you miss your shots.
Brutal pattern
IF EJ happen to throw a PB or PH he would have at least 3 to 5 more title ... LOOK at this TANK.... look at last year PlayOff when EJ throwing that Blue Tank and this TANK

Not a fan of the new format, but that fits today's PBA!
Simo was lucky on this one !
Ej Hackett with the choke again
I can't stand this format, they should bowl the qualifying rounds the 6 match play rounds then the 5 man stepladder finals like they used to
4:25 This is why you wipe the oil off your ball before every shot. EJ didn't here, and he paid for it.
You can't wipe oil off of urethane without cleaners. Your towel can take some of it off, bust most just gets smeared around the surface
McCune showed some disrespect during the game and especially when he threw straight ball like his victory was clear, even though the game was not over. But EJ defeated McCune in round 2, and that final word "Not Dead Yet" was so sick. Great Work EJ🔥🔥
He threw it straight because it wouldn’t affect the outcome, EJ would still need 2 strikes regardless.
