20LB bowling ball VS 8LB bowling ball (INSANE SCORES) 

Anyone got any wireless iPhone microphone recommendations? Audio’s been pretty hit and miss with mine lately

The ball weight didn’t throw him off his game, talking to his neighbor did 😂

Great bowling either way. I was rooting for him to get that 300. But I knew as soon as he started having a conversation with the other guy that it took him off his game.

I love how you say "carry" as the 20lb ball approaches the pocket and then the pins explode.

I'm scared of how easily he uses that 20lbs ball 😂

Pretty impressive. I figured weight difference would wreck mechanics/muscle memory. Bravo.

I normally throw a 15 lb and was doing some messing arounds at the lanes yesterday and grabbed an 8 pounder for the kicks. I basically tripled my rev rate while not losing a lot of ball speed. Then it would hit the pins and the lack of mass meant a lack of momentum so it just kinda bounced off. It was so weird, but also understandable.

First bowling video I’ve ever watched on RU-vid. Good stuff!!! After the first 7 strikes with the 20 lb. ball I thought, “geez, how many 300 games does this guy have?” Looks like a lot! I don’t bowl much, but I’m a subscriber now.👍🏻👍🏻

Great job and you do a great job with your channel. Very real and you show the average bowlers how hard it really is to become a great tournament player. Keep working and love the content.

Awesome video as always Michael. Ive been a fan for while now since there was 1 to 200 views per vid. Here we are with over 3000. So happy for you man. You make really fun and creative content about something us bowlers love. And, I am very new to the sport. I've only been taking bowling serious for one year. So when I found your channel I fell in love. Great stuff my friend. Wish you the best. Do a collab with Darren or something to boost your numbers and you can become huge with some help from the algorithm. Plus, people coming over from Darren's channel. It can really help the numbers. Much love.

So damn close. Remember the rule. Never speak about 300 until you actually hit the 300

I used to bowl back in the 80's competitively with a 16.4 pound ball and that was the biggest at the time you could get. So the PBA increased pin weights to counter that. 20lb ball is insane.

Holy sh*t my man, you throw so consistently it's insane. This is coming from a guy who only ever played Junior Varsity bowling for all 4 years of high school. My freshman year tryouts, my average was like 60. I only got on the team because we didn't have enough others try out that year. Even at the end of senior year, I averaged around 110ish. My best game is a 186. I understand the fundamentals and how you're supposed to do it, but with the way I throw, consistency isn't easy for me. My coach said I have a "helicopter arm." When I throw, it's not a straight back and straight up into a handshake position, my arm goes behind the back. He tried to fix it by having a pool cue under my arm and telling me not to drop it, but I couldn't do it. I just had to adapt to it. Funny thing is, I now work with my coach from high school at a factory in town.

Are they made with safe performance stock and with the same drill holes? I bowl a 180 with a 14 lb plastic, I needed something that could go straight. I would like to know if you can recommend the best bowling ball for 12 lb. I have a terrible pinky finger and a bad back. I used to play with a 15 lb. and had a 198 average. I am still determining to get back to bowling but I have to get a light ball that give me the best reaction for a 12 lb.

Incredible score, very cool video, I wondered about the weights and impact

The pin action & power of the 20 lb is insane. The 8 lb was struggling. Cool video, Thanks. Rock on 🤘😎

That 20lb ball is a fcking truck 😍, it's so satisfying to watch all the pins getting carried down

nice video, surprisingly the heavier ball is more effective than the less heavier in terms of spinning and impact to the pin

I would want to use a bowling ball with different weight what would be better to pick up a spare a heavy ball or a lighter one

You make it look SO easy FFS. Beautiful to watch.

You should get a high rev 2 hand bowler to throw that 20lb ball Would be interesting to see what they could do with it and the crazy pin action that will occur

Yo idk if I’m pretty dumb or what but can someone tell me what shoes he’s wearing in this video?

I wonder if the weight once it hits the outside oil gives it less of a chance for a snap back to the pocket than a 15 pounder.

I just love how nice he is to his neighbor.

What you did in the 10th frame on that 300 game is what I do on my 1st frame of my 300 games.

What mic did u use for this? I need to know what NOT to buy

I'm curious as to what the speeds of the balls were. I'd imagine you couldn't put too much on the 20lb just cus of how heavy it is.

My spine is two solid rods from top to bottom. In order to bowl I had to go to a 12lb ball. I've found if you hit your marks they'll all work pretty consistent when you figure it out.

Where can we purchase a 20 lb bowling ball like that?

That's quite a feat switching balls like that being two extremes and bowling that good with each.

Where do you get a 20 pound ball? I thought 16 was as heavy as they come?

And it would be awesomely hilarious to see a particle ball from the mid to late 2000s modified to be 20lbs. It would destroy everything in sight.

I miss being able to bowl, great seeing someone have so much fun with it.

How’d you get this bowling ball?

I normally use a 6lb house ball should I upgrade to a custom 8lb?

I love watching that 20lb ball go down the lane. It's like a Mack truck speeding down the highway. Slow to get started but once it picks up nothing can stop it. Get it to the pocket and there's no chance of not striking. You should join an unsanctioned league and throw this ball, use the 8lb ball for spares. Then maybe you'd be the 250 avg bowler.

Imagine being this good at bowling

Where can I get a 20 lbs ball

How much did it cost you to have that custom ball made?

Thanks , great demonstration

I really wanna try out a 20 since I have a naturally super high backswing and have trouble slowing my speed down. Of course wrist cupping would probably be non-existent.

Where did you get a bowling ball that’s heavier than 16 lbs?

How do u determine the handicap

What weight do you normally throw?

Great video!! 💪🏼

Where can I get a 20 pounder

Just checking, because I haven't bowled in a while, but 16 lb. is still the max legal weight, right?

Picking the heaviest ball always seemed like a flex to me. The lighter the ball, the harder and more accurate I can throw it. Can manage a few strikes a game. I need like a kiddie ball. Or candle pin bowling I do well. But a heavy ball I get nowhere. Cant even hold it with my fingers in the holes. I can swing it, get some momentum, but it’s much more effort for far less result. Usually get a gutter from fatigue using heavy ball.

I actually did this same test over a week ago, but I used a 16 pound ball and 10 pound ball the heavier ball was always more consistent

Ay was that at delta bowl in Antioch if so I bowl there almost every day

A full rack of pins is 35 lbs. 20 lbs. is 57% of the total weight of a rack of pins. 8 lbs. is only 23%. You could measure your speed and rev rate of each weight to make it very math nerdy cool. Good job 👊

What alley was this at?

What is the 20 pound ball...who is the manufacturer, and model?

How many years have you been bowling? You talk about knowing about bowling and working out. I assume you have done both for a while. When did you start bowling, and when did you start taking it seriously and practicing and working on your game, instead of just for fun?

NeXT time you should do 10(12) frames of each ball, not switch in between the two. That should make it easier to ”remember” your shot. Great vid tho! Love the explosions on the pins with the 20lbs

I low key wanted to see the mph on the first throw with the 8 pounder. After the 20 pounder, I thought you might hit 20+ mph with the 8 lol. You could also do a bloopers with this where you throw the 20 pounder, then on the first shot with the 8lbs just loft it into the pins.

Best demonstration of how weight equals more pin action which results in more forgiveness down the lane!

How'd you figure that handicap? I haven't bowled since I was a kid but I got 200 a few times with a 10 pounder so I guess I should have really bowled 250 right? lol

Imagine a sanctioned league where you have to change ball weights every other frame. Common use to 8 lb. That’ll add a dope dynamic to the game.

Quick question but how do you manage to get a bowling ball in 20 pounds when the regulation size is 16 pounds, I watch this video plenty of times and ask myself that question but overall I like how each bowling ball performed considering the 8 pound is 12 pounds lighter than your 20 pounder you throw

Serious question , why aren’t you on the tour ?

That NFL game in the background was Dolphins @ Raiders. On August 30th, good times!

8:24 _"He blew it"_ In Mike Wurme's voice.

Nice xbox mic lol

Nice video bro keep up the good work

Are you using the 20 pounder for your bowling ball workouts?

Bro lost focus talking to the neighbors I was clenched up hoping for that 300 lol 🔥

Hey man I’m getting back into bowling and bought a used hammer vibe ball and want to learn how to hook it what kind of ball should I get

Is the mic worse this video??? Any way, liked the video! Great content as always!

I love this test. That 20 lb ball just throws pins everywhere.

1:29 “Come on! Get it! That’s what I’m talking about!!!” Randy Pedersen, 2007, PBA Pepsi Championship, Ryan Shafer got a messenger.

You should try a game with that 20'er bowling Ron Swanson style (Straight down the middle, no hook, no spin)

Dam I was hoping for that 20lb 300!! Great vid man!

where the hell did you get a 20 pounder?

Just curious, I haven't bowled in quite a few years. Did they change the rules? I thought 16 pound was the max weight?

there are lots of impressive things that happened, but I like how you called the 69 pins of handicap and that wound up being pretty close

How did you make they ball 20 lbs since they don’t make bowling balls more then 15.8 lbs?

So close bro. Anxiously waiting for that 300 with that 20lb monster.

Those were some great scores. Out of curiosity, where is this bowling alley at?

I suppose that this goes to show that a talented bowler can play with anything and still do well.

I like this premise, but I’d play 2-3 games straight on each ball, & take average or a best-of-series from both. It’ll let you get a rhythm going, for science :)

What’s the little bags he keeps picking up ? Anybody ?

I threw 16 lbs through my late teens and early twenties. So many taps that were mystifying. In my 40's I've found 15 lbs to be the sweet spot. I can throw with more accuracy, at the expense of less pin action. Shot 714 scratch the last time I played sanctioned league. I'm still hunting that elusive 300.

How did you create the 20lb ball?

I haven’t bowled for over a decade. I kind of miss bowling with my old trusty combat zone bowling ball (16lbs). But I have my deformed fingers from bowling to remind me the good old days.

I've yet to see any ball manufacturer make a 20 lb. ball. The heaviest they make is just over 16 lbs. so when it's drilled it ways 16 lbs. or less for it to be legal in certified league bowling.

You are a real good bowler switching that big a difference in ball still throwing strikes. I thought I was a ok bowler but not compared to you. Great job

Are 20lb balls legal for tournaments (or competitive bowling in general)? I didn’t even know they made them heavier than 16,

When did they start producing 20lbs bowling balls?

My kind of content. Keep it fun...FIRE !!

Just going off physics the heavier the ball at the same speed will cause a lot more damage/action. I never went to college so that basic physics. It like a semi vs a mini cooper hitting the pins.

Where's that 12 lb. Idol Helios? Would you give it 10-15 HDCP over the 20 lb.?

When did they start making a 20 lb . Ball in my day 16 was max

where do you even get a 20lb ball?

Where do you get a 20lb bowling ball?

Where do you get a 20 pound bowling ball? They only go up to 16.

Can you recreate this video with someone who plays with an 8 pounder? I feel like it’ll yield better results. Love what you’re doing bro.

Was considering buying an 8lb brunswick twist, after watching this might have to reconsider getting a heavier ball

Still amaZed how much you can hook those t zones 😂

the neighbor guy is going to start practicing this way thinking it is some kind of pro tip!!
