2017 USBC Masters Stepladder Finals 

Michael deserves a round of applause, fantastic performance on his first TV final show. Belmo....simply a next level player. Phenomenal. Congratulations once again.

Belmo is back. :) Michael Tang did an amazing job, hope to see him soon. :)

I didn't realize how well Michael Tang threw it. He's a solid player for sure

Congrats to Belmonte, I was hoping and rooting for Tang but congrats, the fifth year in a row a two handed bowler won this Masters.

The pins start sweating when they see Jason throwing his ball.

BELMO! He looks more focus this year and his FIRE is showing, glad to see him back as a Champ!

when your last boss is jason belmonte.. u know this is gonna be very toughXD

Congrats to Belmo my fav bowler, but major applause to Tang for the great effort.

Its nice to see Tang bringing back some old school bowling :)

I hope to see the Tang brothers make more telecasts, they're an alright pair of bowlers.

Cheers to Alex Hoskins!!!! What a story. Along with the Tang Bros. This was such a great Masters to watch! Jason Belmonte, showed up and took strikes home like it was his job. Michael bowled so well, but he got a lesson. I can't wait to see Michael, Alex, and Darren in the future!!!

That Michael Tang is something else. Especially at 21 and his first TV appearance. Impressive.

5 years in a row a 2 hander has won this event.. 2013: Jason Belmonte, 2014: Jason Belmonte, 2015: Jason Belmonte, 2016: Anthony Simonsen, 2017: Jason Belmonte

Thanks for the upload!

Well done Alex, you bowled great all week, and were pure class on TV. Way to go Idaho!!

good to see a lot of younguns qualifying for such an impressive finals match!

thanks for upload

Me and my brother are a fan of PBA

Tang is a beast but this is Belmo at peak domination. Great event

Damn !!! All these kids are Great ! Cheers ! 🍻

Belmo the best Bowler

Thank You ................

I love seeing the Tang brothers.

Belmos last shot lol. "hey kid watch me throw it dead straight at the head pin and still get a perfect strike...Belmonte out!"

I saw Mike Fagan watching having seen him in awhile I'm 12 and he is my favorite to bad he retired

I really am enjoying watching the Tang brothers bowl.

Thanks for the upload anyway

The Tang brothers throw beautiful balls.

Michael tang is a good bowing from pba tour too me right now

BELMO you are my hero. Win them all my friend

First time watching this sport.. honestly was amazing.. it was like watching tom Brady vs Matt Ryan in SB 51... both played very well but belmo was just too good

Awesome bowling everyone.

Oh yeah, 2017 is going great. Belmo is back to his old self giving his fans a good show and making his critics look foolish.

Thank you Jason, your best.

Kind of like A Williams Sisters Match....pretty cool! They will be back....

jason belmonte is my fav idol

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Jason BELMONTE will be the 2017 PBA PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Jason is too good lol

crazy matches

I just talked to Michael at a tournament. Gave him my RU-vid channel!

Hey wait a minute I know that beautiful family sitting in the front row..Very nice you guys ....

1:26:31 The guy in the background is my hero. xD

What about Alex Hoskins though? Good fight. Loved this show as a whole. Really stacked in terms of bowler ability.

Welcome back, Belmo!

Ok that was a comedically abrupt discontinuation of cheering at 39:22, right before Darren’s 6th frame

After watching this game, I personally think Belmo throws the Pitch Black better than Svensson. Jesper just uses it more often.

I love you Jason Belmonte

appreciated the brother Tang

I remember seeing Michael at JBT in the 2016 Las Vegas main event now he here on national tv wowo

Great tournament

My Nemesis ='s That damn 10 pin...!!!! Tang was ripping his fingers out of that ball!!!! I have no doubt that he could throw an RR ball with a massive rev rate and have it return back from any point on the lane!!!!

lol the two tang clan? fuckin genious!

Jason Belmonte does bowl amazingly well in the USBC Masters

Really Dave? The Two-Tang Clan? He couldn't have come up with that on his own.

Yes yes yes

Bill Chrisman must have loved this with 4-5 people on the show Showing the Brand Storm

Way to go Jason Belmonte😊😊😊😘😘😘

Interesting to see that, in this time period, Randy does a bit more technical talk about equipment and lane play etc. Nowadays he focuses on match narratives, player style, and explication of the scoring. I know Randy catches flak from fans on his commenting content, but it seems like it might be network notes that drive what elements he's hammering home

hey niko.its roman! lets go *B O W L I N G*

Belmonte can loft and throw it over the gutter and also create some pretty nice results with going straighter. Really rare to see a 2 hander go urethane (me)

what are belmo's speed and rev rate on this video? any guess?

it's the hair i's tells ya. it's the hair.

Nobody can beat Jason Belmonte :)))

#300 Jason Balmonte!!!!!!!!!!

i love the tangs hahaha

Brincadeira da infância preferida. Mais sempre gostei De assisti competição quando passava em cadeia nacional. É raro depende do tema e pais onde vai ocorrer as olimpíadas. Jarline

"T-7th Greg Nidiffer" Someone's getting fired.

BELMO looking great

Michael Tang was probably tired at the final match. But J Belmonte was just dynamite! i mean he's #1 for a reason.

Nice job to Darren too

Damn that is daunting, 11 strikes and a 9 spare, almost perfect game. That kid was literally out of his league.

1:20:01 incredible 4-10 break!

Darren and Michael the two brothers

He is a monster

hey everyone,. he's back

Would like to have seen Belmo back on the real tour with 18 games of qualifying and 24 games of match play and a different house every week.

벨몬티는 진짜 너무 잘한다 볼때마다 퍼펙트에서 아깝게 놓치네ㄷㄷ

you better believe im jacked up

amazing...he is back but ej is still the best rest now...

So I decided to bowl in a league and is my first year. I used to suck at bowling before I actually used to practice. I got like a 60 every game😂. Then I got my first ball, a plastic t zone edge. Then I started getting around 110s. Then after I got an Ebonite plastic a couple weeks ago and I’ve been getting like 120s every game. Is that good? And I’m gonna be getting my first curve ball sometime between April-August. It will be a Brunswick Edge Pearl. Should I get a different ball or go with that one?

My favorite part was when they got the strike

yea words can't describe it... yeah.. ahahah

M Tang showed up strong 💪🏻

That flashback shown that Rash and Robert Smith still put more on the ball than just about anyone. Tackett and Kent come close but id have to give Rash and BIG ROB the nod. IMO OFC.

Ill tell you guys a fun story. I lived on the same street as The Orleans that year for one last week and attended most of the days of this event. I think I started attending on the second day of qualifying. I believe Michael Chang was leader at that time. On a subsequent day during the brackets I sat next to a dude as he was sitting behind the settee area. We shot the breeze a bit as people normally do waiting for bowlers to return from break to compete. His GF showed up with chicken nuggets and I got to talk to her as well and through some of the matches. I enjoyed hanging out with them, all the while originally being clueless to this guy competing in the event! I just happened to randomly be sitting behind the lanes he was about to bowl next match on. The effin dude ended up being Alex Hoskins, who at that time was a pure unknown. I sat and watch him bowl all his bracket matches from then on. I had to skip the TV finals due to the WSOP, but I saw it online later. Alex spent zero matches in the losers bracket as he gets seeded as #2 for TV finals. Each match Alex seemed to go up against a household name. It was surreal when you see his name paired against a legend, he has amazing focus though. He managed to find ways to beat each of the following players, Chris Barnes, EJ Tackett, Pete Weber, Martin Larsen before finally losing his first match in the final winners bracket against eventual tourney winner Jason Belmonte. Thats like a fricken dream come true. he fell again during the stepladder but it was still an amazing run. We wanted to see him get revenge on jason, but im ot sure anyone could beat Jason at that center. He was striking at will. I sort of knew Alex could pop up on TV again, and it didnt take all that long. Another Masters and another TV finals and he fared much better after a slow start. In the show he was a strike away from a Masters title. I just loved the fact that I went from talking to some random Joe to him being on TV twice. Best of luck to you Alex, maybe we will cross paths again or ill come get to see the Storm facility and see what fun he has there at that facility.

Wow. $30,000 for first place in a major now? So viewership supposedly increased, but prize money goes down again? It's getting harder and harder to consider professional bowling as a career. :/

I just can't remember Belmo using URETHANE, and it shocked me to see him using it. But as usual he was getting some crazy carry -- the 3rd frame strike was really crazy. Almost a 4-10 split but then over they go. I like Michael Tang's style -- but not his brother's style very much.......

BELMOOOOOOOO

Sounds like they got a demolition crew doing a project in the background damn

I hate this...the lanes looked dry all the games when they were qualifying, then on TV the lanes be looking oily as hell...

1:34:25 Wasn't expecting that!

Look at D.Tang face hah. stressed out so much. lol

Was this the first time brothers made the TV finals for a tournament?

Anyone else die when he said cash me outside?

I never understood why bowlers never tried to use a straight bowling technique, they are so accurate with the straight ball rather than urethane/resin. I understand the whole science to the reason why they hook but still.

belmo is unreal

I like Michael Tang's game better than his brother's. Darren tends to tug the ball during release and Michael has a smoother swing and soft hand.

Jason slims down OMG he looks so good bow😎

Such a handsome audience.

Can i know what oil pattern and how long?
