Analyzing how against all odds, Jason Belmonte won the 2023 PBA Tournament of Champions, and how we can learn from his masterful performance! Music Credit: / @lcsprod Some video used belongs to the PBA and is used under fair use
I also think Belmo plays stronger on TV, he can handle the pressure better than the most. Many were losing the mental fight while Belmo stays calm even on bad shots.
It shows you winners never quit and quitters never win!!! You need some breaks too and he takes advantage of bad breaks from competitors and capitalize on good breaks for him. Didn’t win 15 majors cuz of all luck. He is great great bowler.and all these guys can bowl. He just finds match up and knows how to win!!!
Definitely handles the pressure well. Seems to also play better in majors as well. Although he's really struggled in 2024 so far too. Him and Simo are really off lately.
This was not a 1% occasion. He was able to continue to use his previous games as references and he made great decisions in order to get there. Absolutely a tournament won through skill.
Belmo knows how to adjust to the lanes and won fair and square the only thing we will never know is who is the best bowler ever ? Bowling today is with juiced bowling balls bring back the plastic bowling balls in a tournament where u have to use plastic only and then we will see who the best bowler is
@@mykalhenryYup... Belmo never thinks he's out of it. Confidence is a huge weapon. I'd rather have his mental game than all the lucky pinfall in the universe....
Loved the video. Really appreciate your describing the adjustment he made as it helps me to visualize how anyone can adjust based on ball reaction. Keep the videos coming!
I don't see why he shouldn't have won, yes he ranked pretty low and still got the win, he did the impossible, but hasn't this guy been doing the impossible since he started bowling? This is the guy that introduced a new level of bowling to the world, a level that could increase rev rate and power, he's the best equipped and the best mentally prepared, he deserved it, especially for the length of travel to get to the lanes I mean damn😂
he crushed the tournament after day 1 and clutched several back to back matches on a pair of lanes that the best players in the world couldn't figure out after the first game.
I have been watching the ToC since 1979. Mr. Belmonte is the only bowler to ever win it four times because he is the best bowler in history. He is better than average when on TV. So winning it again should not be surprising. The real reason Mr. Belmonte shouldn't have won the ToC is that traditionally the top five finishers make the show. But this year Fox decided to make a 16 level (17 bowlers) stepladder, which has never been done in history, so they could televise more shows. That allowed Mr. Belmonte to ascend into the top five when normally that wouldn't have been possible.
The "probability of winning" section at the beginning was dumb, winning matches in sports is not like working with a truth table. There are so many variables that go into determining the outcome.
once you open against belmo which every single one of his opponents did in the TOC, belmo takes advantage of that and makes them pay which is why he is the greatest bowler to ever exist.
I can’t believe you made a video about this. Every bowler has luck come there way. Sometimes people get the bad breaks on the other hand good breaks. He won fair and square.
I watched the entire thing and he was never letting go.. I thought he was done right away and just trying to be positive. I would have bet the farm before match play and possibly tv that it wasn’t his time.. what a legend!!
I'd say playing more games actually helps rather than lowering your %. You know how the oils transition more than someone coming cold off the warmup lanes
Agree to a certain extent, but also takes a lot of skill to keep winning. In the matches before Belmonte, many won one game and immediately lost the pocket the next. If Belmo's adjustments weren't perfect, I think he loses to Troup right after his first game.
Saying that Belmo shouldn't beat anyone in the world is just an ignorant statement, he's the world's number 1 bowler, he's the favorite in any match-up.
Belmonte should have won because he played well and is the greatest bowler we've ever seen. That being said, this content and analysis is very cool and interesting. The title is just a bit misleading.
This channel is going to blow up if you keep this up. This is a niche channel about bowling. 36 subs as of 3-26-23!!! I predict 1000 easily in a few months.
I would not go so far as to say he shouldn’t have won it. He earned this title. He made fewer mistakes than his opponents. There’s a reason he’s the greatest
This is why winners never quit and quitters never win!!! Belmo takes advantage of bad breaks from competitors and capitalize on good breaks for him. He matches up and knows how to win. 15 majors should tell you how good he is. Anybody can talk show them with your score.
Yo, absolutely phenomenal video. This is one of the most well-done bowling breakdowns I’ve ever seen. Keep up the fantastic work, this was an amazing watch!
Belmo showed yet again what a great bowler he is, he makes the right decisions 90% of the time; when he's switched on its hard for anyone to beat him and he's showing that again in the Masters, but there is still a long way to go.
Your calculation is wrong. The probability of winning a match in the Stepladder is always 50:50. the previous match must not be included in the calculation because it does not affect the new match.
But he's calculating the chances of winning that many matches in a row, in which case, his math is accurate. However, I would argue that the probability of winning isn't 50%
Yes supersentallupinurmouf I said yes I agree with him I love jason Belmonte I wanna let you know watch you tone he's my favorite Bowler jason is the greatest Bowler ever I love him so much I won't tell you again can you please do not say that please I love him 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
This is the type of reason why I hate these next gen stats. 1% chance of winning? Can’t factor in momentum, the fact he’s bowling EVERY a game so he sees the breakdown and moments. He’s warm and hasn’t been sitting on the bench. Stuff like that. Yeah it was a huge mountain to climb, but in the PBA lower seeds seem to make decent runs a lot
Very nice job on this, its crazy the gamesmanship occuring out there with these guys basically trying to shim-wreck each other, it seems like chess, part of me hates it and part of it is interesting, I say we all go back to two balls you get one yellow dot and one Lt48, lol
The reason he won was because the shot was set up specifically for him so he could move left and it was catered specifically for his shot and ball motion
One thing I would suggest to you is just slowing down a lot when you talk. There’s a lot of sentences that are slurred together and I had to rewind a few times to understand what you’re saying
@@nonamephinsyt lmao are not comprehending this isn’t an insult? His odds of winning were close to none and overcame it. He did the impossible, this is a video explaining that and giving him his well due credit
@@nonamephinsyt in reality he shouldn’t of won cause of how uncommon it is to come from that far back in the standings, yet BELMO found a way like he always does!
@@nonamephinsyt Because a new 17 man extension ladder format was used. Had it been the traditional top 5 step ladder format he would not have made the cut.
Yes I agree with him I love Jason Belmonte I wanna let you know watch your tongue he's my favorite bowler He is my favorite Jason is the greatest I love him so much I won't let you know can you please do not say that please I love him
So one lucky shot means belmo shouldn't have won? Get tf out. He wouldn't have gotten as far as he had in that stepladder, let alone won as much as he has in his career, on lucky shots.
I'm not a Belmo fan so let the bashing begin. 🙄 He showed us exactly who he was when he was younger... playing dirty with the bottle & all the other shady BS he did on Tour. The only difference now is that he has gotten smarter about it. Belmo is not genuine, but people won't see what they don't want to. Just watch his vlog. Better yet, listen to the answers when Kimberly Pressler asks fun facts about the guys on Tour. The one being interviewed will almost always mention something positive about a fellow bowler, but Belmo highlights himself every damn time. The PBA hyped him from the beginning because of the 2-handed style & his insane carry. They needed Belmo in order to save the Tour and FOX jumped at the chance to profit. They've spent the past decade promoting & catering to Belmo while the Tour hung the other guys out to dry. There are so many incredible storylines within the PBA that never get told because it's always about Belmo. I understand the guy is a talented bowler and I've come to appreciate two-handers. With that said, Belmo will never have the tricks or the touch that Simo does. It's ridiculous to compare him with any one-handed bowler, especially legends like Earl Anthony or Walter Ray. He's racked up a ton of titles, but he got the majority of them before he had fellow 2 handers to compete with. If you actually look back at many of the finals, his opponents did more to beat themselves than anything else. This year's TOC is a prime example. I just think GOAT is a stretch & a disservice to the Hall of Famers...you just can't compare apples to oranges.
those are stats on flipping a coin - not winning a tournament as the best bowler in the world. given your "stats" - nobody should ever win a tournament
