Here’s Why Anthony Simonsen Is The BEST Bowler On The Planet 

Y'all should have seen him when he was 15. He bowled a sweeper at Forum Bowl in Grand Prairie, TX. He got in all the brackets and won $5,000.00. I was bowling something different there. He was outside waiting for his Mom to pick him up. I said to him, " Your gonna be a star one day!" I knew him from Plano Super Bowl. He, Anthony and Sean Lavery-Spahr use to work there together. Anthony Lavery-Spahr use to work in the Proshop and drill my equipment. I think Dino Castillo owned it but can't remember for sure. The last time I've seen Simo, Who we use to call Little Anthony, I bowled with and against him in a regional in Greenville, TX. He's amazing.

Simo is the coolest dude ever. I'm a mechanic in rowlett and I was stuck on some problem with fuses and wiring on a gsx. He sat on FaceTime with me for a good 15 minutes walking me through the problem and how to fix it. Such a down to earth guy.

PBA bowlers just vibing gives me life. Love the intro

Loved the behind the scenes stuff, Darren's enthusiasm as a fan, cheering on his mates, also that first minute with them all relaxing in the break room just messing around killing time with Belmo just messing around with them also.

I love the way you freely talk about your opponents with praise, class, respect and enthusiasm. My son and I have been bowling for just over a year. After my wife & his mother passed away. I figured we could spend more time together and we both enjoyed it. He started to watch your RU-vid channel and then he was hooked.Thank you,we are extremely grateful for the sport and we are thankful for moving here to Las Vegas. For what it’s worth we are big fans of you and your style. Good luck and Stay strong -Jadester and Evanator

Love this content! Such a great behind the scenes look and yet in the middle of the action feel!

What a fantastic video to watch with the nail biters. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of the tour life!!

Great to see all the guys there supporting each other.

SIMO made this pattern look like a house shot and we bowled on this pattern at OUR masters this last weekend and he makes it look so completely different it’s insane

Man I'm gonna have to watch more of your videos if only for the comment section...lol. I also got a good chuckle out of the title then Belmo is the first person you show. Good stuff man. And Simo is flat rolling it! Good luck man.

We’ll be seeing you bowling for the next title! Believing in you DTang.

Good stuff! Thank you for sharing!

Love these kind of videos, keep it up!

Listening to you guys talk about Simo mad me laugh out loud! Appreciate the great content

That aiming play with the basketball can develop into a new double handed front power release throw. (I saw a special bowler girl doing that throw for an instant power strike). Boom!😊

845 series. 281 average. Nuts. I don't think I can get to that in 5 games haha. I love what he said after his win. Kimberly asked how he is dominant this year not finishing outside the top 10. With 2 tournament wins. He said I practiced a ton before the season. Now i know you all do but something definitely clicked with him. Anyways the world series is gonna be nuts. Good luck hope to see you on TV a few times Darren!

Volunteered on the low end and by far, the Keven Williams, Simo match was off the charts. Both undefeated, they just threw haymakers at each other. Final was like 730 to 720. In qualifying I watched Simo throw it straight and fast, medium with a little belly and slow hook the entire lane, all in the same game for like a 240.

Can't wait to bowl this when I get older! Especially against Russ Oviatt, he's a guy I know and look forward to best in the future!

ive been watching videos to get better at bowling and have seen a few of kyles videos not knowing how high up he was. nice to see

Your physical game looks very good to me, better than many of the bowlers who are having better years than you in the young season. You are one of the most fluid bowlers to watch, and I particularly enjoy watching you shoot spares. You are one of the very best one handers. If you keep doing what you are doing, you will probably be very successful when you hit the right matches for your game, oil patterns, equipment, and moves. Unfortunately the prize funds are way too low. Keven has excellent form shooting a basketball.

Have you ever bowled with Bill O'Neil? He was one of my favorite bowlers to watch growing up, and I have one of his jerseys that he signed and an autographed picture that he sent me when I was sick in the hospital as a kid.

The Tang's vs Brad and Kyle in a doubles match is what we all want to see

Nice video. I noticed at the 5 minute mark in the video it was almost 2:30pm and then at the 5 minutes and 15 second mark in the video it was now 2:15pm. Nice editing. lol

Kyle had such a great run this tournament. Was very fun to watch!

That match between Kyle and Chris was epic!

Sick bayside hat !! Maine loves the tang

Darren you should try making the switch to two handed or test it out more and see how you like it.

Nobody is better than Earl Anthony RIP.... He was truly the GOAT.

but yooooo belmo with the tekkers !!! ⚽️⚽️⚽️🔥🔥🔥

Of course, I'm thinking...what cinema did they get that JBL 4507 LF cabinet speaker from and how did they rig it up there (in the game room, at the beginning of the video)? That is a particle board cabinet and normally not suitable for rigging. Hopefully, it is reinforced at the rig points.

I believe in you!

Love that the best bowler in the world was in the mix!

When referring to a two handed bowler do you mean granny style or thumb out , usually every bowler starts their approach holding the ball in both hands

Thank you Norwegian ancestry for giving USA such a good bowling player.

Must have been super slick for two handers to use surface relatively straight up the lane.

Cool tech bowling Darren tang

Belmo is probably out there like hold up no no no I am the best in the world

The way I roll the ball keeps me way inside the ball which gives me more than enough to carry.

From my perspective, Simonsen is the most versatile bowler on tour. Massive career ahead of him

Is an advantage of the 'two-handed' delivery that the other hand helps to keep the ball in closer to the same position for each roll more than the traditional 'one-handed' delivery?

Chris is so smooth with it.

Belmo w his fly kicks Shadows 😂

IMO this season was the passing of the torch between Belmo and Simo. However EJ might have something to say about that, we’ll see how the rest of the year plays out

The magenta idol is the best ball I’ve had, Simo’s Arsenal is perfect

kyle got that dawg in him 🤣🤣🤣

Simo is easily tied for my fav 2 hander with Osku Palermaa (ik Osku hasn't won as much as Simo, but I've loved him since the 2014 Japan Cup). He is so accurate, so versatile, and soooooooo entertaining to watch. Like Michael said, he's a mix of Norm, PDW, and Belmo. If I could bowl half as good as Simo, I'd be happy with how far I've come. That being said, I aspire to one day be better than him, so I'm studying this man's every shot

Simo is definitely a bowler with many tricks up his sleeve.

Someone please tell me why Keven shoots basketballs like a right hander but bowls as a lefty.

That song 🔥🔥

Belmos titles: Am I a joke to you!?!

Go getem❤

Good luck in Milwaukee, man.

845 on that pattern is pretty sick

I am going to learn to bowl 2 handed been bowling one handed since I was 5 years old

Have to wait and see how the rest of the year plays out first. Definitely the man to beat but Belmo, Tacket will in my opinion have a say in whose the best, not that mine matters much. 😂🤣.

what layout did Anthony have on that exotic gem

I like how everyone is cool 😅😅

Kyle bowled his ass off

Simo's up there man don't sleep

Jesse!! What music track is that when Chris match played with Simo?

i literally cant tell, are they bowling with drilled bowling balls or not?

Long live discord squad !

Wait is this at thunderbowl?

Watching 2 handed bowlers is just amazing. I love the style and looks super professional. It’s hard to learn personally so it takes a LOT of skill!! Also love those messengers Chris Via got. Super satisfying.

Anthony Simonsen is as good as he is because he doesn’t let his brain interfere with his shotmaking. It’s a rare gift.

Why did they bowl on half of two pairs? They used 10-11 rather than 11-12.

Guess I've been in a hole. When did two handed bowling become a thing?

When Darren says he doesn’t condone how Simonsen acts what does he mean? I don’t know much about simo. Do people dislike him?

Deo is a machine...

Simo beat the shit out of me in a final qualifier for Junior Gold about 10 years ago. Dude shot 269 in the final XD....while I shot 190

How long ago was it that so many great bowlers start using two hands?

From just reading the title, I thought you were going to say Belmo died or something.

Agreed

I was told to fight the negative people.

Updated Bowling Ball Arsenal Video?

Belmo in jordan 1s 🔥🥹

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Simo will likely be forced to retire before Belmo is done bowling. Simo gets really low on his shots and parallels his back to the floor even sometimes. This is really bad for a couple of reasons. He puts a lot of force into his swings (which is overall good). However, he doesn't raise up off the shot at the end to relieve the pressure this would otherwise exert on the lower back. This will likely result in serious back pain and potential injury over the years if he doesn't work on that part of his game. The good news is that he's relatively young and fairly short for a man. This will help him overcome some of it, however, the writing is on the wall if he continues this way. I wish him all the best and continued success in the future. Jason Belmonte is obviously the greatest thing to happen to bowling since lane oil. He fathered the style in which Simo uses and has pretty much mastered it. I won't waste the time typing all of Bemo's accolades. However, I doubt there will be anyone else in my lifetime to impact the sport not just in performance and wins but innovation and inventing a style of bowling that's hands down the best performance version of bowling yet.

This season is simo and ej, they’ll prove me right

First 💪🏾 love you Darren

Via’s bowling literally matches his personality

Is Belmo the sneakers king?

For a moment there, I thought they were bouncing 6LB bowling balls 🤣

You mean on the plane?

DTANG VIDEO IDEA: 😅 Can you do or have you done a video explaining the House Bowling? I gather who's involved mostly, but could you explain it in its entirety? Like, where it started, who is all in it, why is Packy the house bowling channel on RU-vid? Is he the creator or what. I need the pieces of the story, lol. Love your vids. Love the look on the lane you have, release and ball motion is on point. Keep creating content, and I'll be here to consume it 😂 Thanks for the content and the efforts that go into it!

EJ would have something to say about that

He is by far one of the greats with all the majors he has won.I am concerned on long time wear and tear on his hip with that low knee bend .I do hope he has a work out regime. He is one of my favorites I hope he's around a long time.

The best 2 hander.

I agree, Simonson is the best in the world.

One of the best dont for get! Who's one the most

What was the red and blue ball Via was using? I saw others using it as well like Darren

What ball is the purple pinkish one?

What's the purple ball Via is throwing a few shots?

How the hell do these guy’s bowl 2 handed?

Hm, that's a funny way to spell "Jason Belmonte"

Definitely respect for how good he is. But I think he needs to maintain it for years at that level like Belmo has to be considered the best.

Discord Gang

odd seeing how many guys using bowling two handed

Funny peeps on here

I’m usually against 2 handed bowling but he is clearly the most talented. Huge difference between him and the S. Maldonado type that just dump urethane.

Is Belmo secretly playing for the NBA?
