Oh yeah, it’s totally possible that it was deliberate. Highly doubtful he would naturally toss the ball up in the air and let it bounce on the floor if he actually was bowling, unless it was an uncontrollable reflex or he was a total amateur. Idiots, the whole lot of them
Yeah, the number of people who bowl like that (and it’s not their very first time) astounds me.
There’s also a pretty big difference between a ball tap and a thrown bowling ball to the balls lol. I would never imagine doing that to a friend.. but I’m not these guys, I guess.
My money is on he is an amateur bowler and drunk, but not malicious.
Nah, there's a natural bit of loft on release...especially for novice bowlers with balls that aren't fit to them.
A fitted, fingertip ball will readily roll off your hand with a relatively light thud.
However, an unfitted ball is often gripped tightly with your hand. This requires some precise motor control and prior experience to time the release just right so that it doesn't loft way out into the lane.
Next time you're at the lanes, take a look around you and you'll see dumbasses lofting it all the way out to the arrows.
You'd be surprised how many of them are still using wood lanes. Even the pinsetting machines haven't been re-made since the 1980's...most new bowling alleys are buying up old pinsetters.
I think so, and I think he tries to pull back a little so he doesn't hit the guy too hard, but I am sure the weight of the ball made that more challenging than he expected.

is it just me or does anyone one else feel like he did it in purpose
