It’s a shame bowling never kept pace for prize funds through inflation. What a grind. But, what it does say is that you guys out there love the sport and have unquestionable dedication considering outside of a few players, most aren’t even cracking 6 figures.

@mrb43605 3 года назад

$60K back in the 60's worth what they are bowling for today! Not much room for profit! Sad! Plus bowling way more popular in 60's and 70's!

@deadpolymers3416 3 года назад

I would love to hear a break down on how gear acquisition works for the pros. Us amateurs are paying full price for the ball, plus another 60 bucks to put holes and grips in it. I would expect to pay $250-$275 out the door for that Dark Code Black you were throwing.

@maxstbergh3994 2 года назад

in norway we would probably have to pay about 300$+ for the ball

@SKRUBL0RD 2 года назад

pros are allocated free balls and equipment by their sponsors, up to whatever limit which is probably relative to how much they cash / win championships. it's not uncommon to hear of pros having dozens of balls drilled up for 1 competition, they go through them like we plebs drink water.

Great vlog as always. Thanks for the behind the scenes cost analysis!

It was so much fun watching you have fun that I forgot this was a budget video until you brought it up again. Thanks for sharing joy and keeping the sport fun for everyone. Looks like you had an amazing time.

@jdnance168 3 года назад

Great to see the proam footage and your interaction. Too many times I see pros not engage. Great to see you make it fun for everyone. Please came back out to the NM Open this year! Steve is open and it will happen, bring evryone you can!

I live in Springfield Oregon which is like right next to Eugene that’s wild. I bowl at emerald lanes and hold 165ish average with 2 years on competitive bowling. I’m currently 15

Loving the breakdown of expenses. Also digging the outro!

@scottmoore1419 3 года назад

I’ve bowled some Pba 50 regionals their. It is kind of nowhere, but stayed extra and drove 1 1/2 hour to Newport Beach. Another time I was stuck at PDX, flights were canceled to get home. Nice small alley.

@t-dubgaming3259 3 года назад

I grew up Eugene Or, currently serving in the us Airfoce so I’m in Albuquerque NM right now but I miss home a lot

@frenchfrey65 3 года назад

What an interesting bowling alley, AMF pinsetters, Brunswick 2k scoring on overhead monitors. I would be on sensory overload at that place.

@billysmith7590 3 года назад

It's a shame that pro bowlers don't get paid like other sports. I briefly saw David Haynes in the back ground. Another great bowler from Vegas. Great bowling Darren.

It even more when you are trying to get experience. This guy makes some sugar even when he does not win the tournament.

@Duser1 2 года назад

Take into this is professional bowling not like league type style bowling you should be fine with 1-2 balls and some shoes thats about it unless you want to take bowling seriously and competitively.

@1521FredShane 3 года назад

Come out to Suburban Lanes in Morgantown WV for their regional and pro am on the weekend of June 25th.

Dark Code 300!!! Good job Darren!

@Ironfangzu 3 года назад

Can you imagine Jordan Spief or Phil Mickleson saying in golf, "Yeah we need to make top 5 to cover our expenses. It cost over $800 to come to this tournament and you take a loss if you don't finish top 5...". Such a disparity in prize funds. But I guess only bowlers watch bowling tournaments, and the people who watch Tiger and Mickelson play are richer than most bowlers.

@kevinroche6717 3 года назад

Where do all the old bowling balls go? I've seen the arsenals you all have every week, and I assume a bowling ball on tour doesn't have as long of a shelf life as it does with me. Keep it up, I love watching these!

@adventuresfloridatothailan5217 2 года назад

yeah I could use a new ball. I still have my hammer from the 1970's

@theoneandonly6451 Год назад

That trick shot you tried was so funny 💀

@tylerdrehs1816 3 года назад

Also thinking about expenses what did it cost for you too check your bowling balls as luggage? Or is it the same as a normal bag because it fits under the weight limit?

@adventuresfloridatothailan5217 2 года назад

put 3 balls into 1 bag its overweight. How much to check it?

4:38 So I think his style's changed a little, otherwise I'm just seeing things. It's like an inverted, forced 2-handed release. I like it

@cthebeastyt5107 3 года назад

@modernpoet3997 3 года назад

Except for majors, it seems like bowling prize funds haven't kept up with the times at all. I watch a lot of bowling from the 80's and 90's and they're making 40k for 1st a lot of times. Also, it's probably because of Covid, but it seems like there are less stops.

@truebloodsteven 3 года назад

Hey I have always wonder pro bowlers don’t use a pinky hole in there bowling ball

@christophernodurft1868 2 года назад

The expense and the fact that my talent was far less than I imagined is why I stopped bowling. Busted my hump to average 200-210. Thought I was really good, but then my friends, once money was on the line or we went to tournaments, would shoot lights-out. And I just shot 200-210, if I was lucky. Opted for a career in the Marine Corps instead. I miss bowling, but I miss my friends and the fun we had more.

@boostyou6256 Год назад

This is why I never went pro there are alot of expenses each week and you have to bet on yourself to always get a check. Just stay here in the Midwest and do some scratch tournaments and have fun. I have a good transportation job so I definitely made the right choice

Bowling should have higher purses in my opinion these guys grind day and night to perfect their craft just like any other sport!! And it is a sport it takes lots of skill and practice to maneuver through those tough oil patterns they have to deal with!!!!

@billyfontenot8866 3 года назад

Some sponsors work different ways though, if you lose week after week some will want there money from previous then split the profit. Although some will accept the losses and just move on.
