Not trying to troll but having a video about beginner balls then talking about friction points and intermediate to advanced concepts is asking for too much for a new beginner. Been bowling for over 40 years, 40 years ago I could count on mid 180's to high 180's average but about 20 years ago went to newer style bowling ball with aggressive coverstock and immediately added 20 pins to my average. Just discovered your channel and really enjoying it.

I just want to say that thanks to you, Pack, 220 average bowler and all your bowler friends, I've decided to pick up bowling again after over 30 years away! Keep making the videos and teaching me the fun part of bowling again. Thank you Darren! I look forward to watching you win a PBA title soon!!!

Darren definitely has the best content of any bowling YouTuber. Props to this man.

Great info DTang… what’s interesting to me is that these entry level balls seem to have a place in league situations when urethane is not used. But the big sellers are the balls with more core, stronger covers…

I've just started league with my hubby amd son and i maybe bowled 30 times in my life. Once we started league i realkzed there was so much to bowling and i have a lot to learn. Just got my first ball and now i need lessons thank you fir all you do

If you feel like your ball doesn't hook enough, roll it slower (believe it or not, it works for house balls too). I threw my solid reactive on heavy oil today and couldn't get it to hook because I realized I was throwing it too fast, hard, and wasn't using the outer parts of the lane (16 lbs ball too). So I slowed down, focused more, concentrated on accuracy and consistency, and it hooked. (I detox my ball 4 games before this specific session and didn't resurface my ball so I'm gonna go do that)

My first ball was a Track Stealth and honestly, I love it. I've been playing for 4 months now and my current HS is 212

I love my Tropical Surge (the red one) and want the purple/gold Surge for this fall. I have really soft ball speed and will try getting that Electrify for my bag as well. This fall is my golden anniversary year of league bowling (50 years, where did the time go??) 👀 Thanks for showing all levels of equipment, Darren!

I only began with house balls, and then I purchased a Zen Soul and ice spare ball to begin with. Now, later on, I've gained further knowledge of the sport, I've now got a Gem, Pitch Black, Phaze II, Rubicon UC3, RSTX-3, FATE, Zen U and to finish it off Exotic Gem.

Darren's knowledge made me the bowler I am today, I'd love to see a video of him explaining launch angles and get his opinion on his strategy.

[bowlcutayden]

I got was averaging around 120 with house balls, I bought the tropical surge and automatically started going 150 and above so it’s a great ball to start with.

[NickBowls]

I’ve been watching your videos since I started bowling Spring 2022 and I’ve improved so much since then because of your tips. I’m not saying this to have better chances of winning but to just show you how much I appreciate you and your tips. I hope to get good enough to play against you.

[ryanrowtie]

Need another calab with Packy youtubers versus tv bowlers. Also, need more of Michael we all miss him.

[stephenwilliams]

Awesome video! I just bought a bsy electrify. I'm having fun learning how to bowl instead of just throwing the ball. (1-6-24)

[anthony]

I have the tropical surge and have it drilled 2 handed it hooks a ton even lane is oiled in the middle and dry on the sides but could be factor they are wood lanes

[aceofdimonds]

My PSO recommended the Surge over the hustle series for burn. The lower RG makes playing the fallback easier. What are your thoughts on this?

[brianwaterman]

my BSY is getting drilled this week. Looking forward to learning how to hook. Thanks for the in depth explanation about the differences between the 2 entry level balls.

Sometimes I feel like Darren has so much knowledge about bowling that it can sometimes be his worst enemy. He will overthink and over complicate the situation that he is in, when in competition, that it just ends up hurting him. 😢 watching him explain the low end balls to new bowlers in this video was a little painful to say the least 😅 but it’s all good. We all know he means well and Darren’s is a great guy so keep up the good work! 😊

I am a new bowler (and now in my first league wish me luck lol) and seeing your videos from ball reviews to literal tips and tricks helped me alot, the league videos are entertaining and the pba tour videos were suspenseful and joyful, this channel was so good and im so glad that i saw this channel and discovered it in the first place.

[BARBELLS-AND-BUDS]

I have mostly strong balls and lately I got a few weaker ones and one of them is that green and black tropical surge and I was amazed at how well it rolled on a fresh house shot.
I couldn't miss the pocket rolling over 4th arrow.
I was amazed
I also have a strong
I went back up to the counter and I asked the guy behind it. Are you sure this is a fresh house shot? He said yes. No one's rolled on it and leak ended so there's no league on Saturdays
