[–]Manofpesto 1 point2 points ago

Brooklyn, pocket, Greek Church, Big Four, Break-Point, Turkey, Four-bagger (sometimes called hambone).

Plus, most leagues have a Sgt. At Arms, who is tasked with throwing out unruly bowlers.

[–]tonytwotoes 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nope! .. he's a right handed bowler and hit the 1,2 pocket.. just happened to throw it with a left hand curve (or back hand)

[–]DrTobiasFunkeMD 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Technically at the point of release he was throwing it from the left.

[–]tonytwotoes 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

agreed, just being pedantic with the definition... he's a righty and he hit the right pocket ... looks good to me!

[–]FooingBars 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

it's not technically Brooklyn if he's a right hander. but even still he hit the pocket shallow, this was slop even for Brooklyn. He should have left the 7 or 10 cold.

It almost looks like he messed up at first.

I want to believe the ball was stuck on his fingers so he tried to save face by doing a backflip.

"Ball stuck... only possible way out is to do a backflip."

doesn't matter how you do it, as long as you hit between the 1-2 and 1-3, you'll knock down the majority of the pins. That's the secret to bowling.

[–]Manofpesto 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There's more to bowling than that, when some of my competitors get large amounts of spin on their shots, they can carry 3-6 hits.

I'm a pro at the between the legs shot.

This is not me though, I wasn't cool enough to have a Motorola Razr at the time that this was probably filmed. Or enough of a pro to get a strike.

It looks like the ball the babies played with from Rugrats

[–]hotakyuu 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Actually, the trick is that he is throwing a left hook which curves right at the pins, thus the left moving motion sets off the pins on the left, and the contact on the right knocks those down. This is interesting for two reasons: one, he is throwing the traditional way as opposed to clutching the ball, which is what most hook-curve bowlers do. And two, he throws a left curve with his right hand, which is abnormal for most right handed bowlers.

tldr; guy throws like a lefty as a righty and throws a curve instead of straight ball.

That's almost as good as my standard bowling throw.

It sails through the air for about 5 feet, crashes down like a fucking cannonball, and MAYBE picks off one lonely pin in the very corner.

That's how it's done, people.

[–]CatMinion 0 points1 point ago

Anyone notice that the ball hits the pins and bounces off them and into the gutter to the right? As if the ball is really light weight? Don't bowling balls usually plow through the whole rack of pins instead of hitting them and then flying into the gutter? Either way, very impressive, regardless of what ball he used.

I'm glad we are seeing evolution in the game of bowling. Jack Handey said it best:

"I think a new, different kind of bowling should be "carpet bowling." It's just like regular bowling, only the lanes are carpet instead of wood. I don't know why we should do this, but we've got to do something!"

I tried doing something similar to this when I was younger. I tried to do a baseball windup before my took my shot or whatever. It bounced into the other lane and back into mine. tl;dr bowling≠baseball

Yes you will, only, for a short time you will think about this guy. Then, and I'm talking months from now, you will gradually slip back into the groove of just being able to enjoy yourself without all the bullsh*t comparisons. I'll be waiting for you when that day comes. I'll be holding that door open for you.
