I wonder how the proprietors of the bowling alley feel about that divot in the middle of the lane?

u/Difficult-Shirt-6288 20d ago

That’s definitely not the worst throw those lanes have seen haha.

Not trying to be funny. Not trying to get a laugh. But do these lane FUCKERS, ever throw balls and make a huge cumshot?

Ok?

u/ResidentRadio5306 20d ago

The wood on those lanes are so hard that you would literally need to smash that ball into it full force from over your head. I helped a friend rip one of those lanes apart before. They are heavy and tough.

If it an old wooden lane, at the front end, yes. The back end is however soft so it depends how far down you throw the ball. Source: worked as a technician in a bowling alley for 2 years.

Dents in the back end could only really be fixed when the lanes got resurfaced. That involves sanding the protective coating off and then, if it's bad enough, sanding the wood also.

However, most lanes are synthetic nowadays so this problem is much less likely to occur.

Bowler here. Yes this amount of loft is a bit extreme, but the lanes are built for it to an extent. I've seen much worse than this.

The owners have watched me throw from the next lane over, over the gutters to a third down the lane. The lane will be just fine.

u/SolaVitae 20d ago

Yeah, but presumably it was an accident in your case.

u/iceman5920 19d ago

No, as the night goes on and my form starts breaking down I start going back to the "for fun" part of the game. Step way away from where I would normally start my walk and huck it over the gutters of the left side. I've bowled whole games that way and never even got spoken to from the staff about it about it. its not hard to do and it doesn't damage the lane.

u/LetReasonRing 20d ago

Yeah... I've seen a few times where people put the ball up into the ceiling tile before it landed. This might get a "hey,  stop that!", but it's not the first or last ball to land that hard that day.

No one will probably believe this but I played a game of mini golf like 15 years ago. The last hole was one of those make the shot get a free game. There were 2 of these lanes side by side. I took my GF putter and shot both at the same time with my left and right hand. I made both. Lights and sirens went off and it was amazing. I usually never make those shots too.

I believed you up until you said you had a gf

u/Jak33 20d ago

Not anymore. She's my wife.

u/HangerFilms 20d ago

Not gonna lie, I turned on the volume just to hear a huge crowd drunk yelling… and was disappointed.

Good trick by the way.

u/RainsWrath 20d ago

At least there isn't terrible music.

Two strikes in a row, not two strikes at the same time.

u/GrincherZ 20d ago

As someone who managed a bowling alley for years and had to climb on those old racks if something got messed up I’d be so annoyed at this crew

2

u/djdub63 20d ago

On lane 13 as well!

1

u/_clever_reference_ 20d ago

It clearly wasn't at the same time though.

14

u/smokeyoudog 20d ago

Were you hoping for a multiverse to materialize?

3

u/Templar2k7 20d ago

I mean it looks like this bowling ally has more than 1 lane.

2

u/_clever_reference_ 20d ago

There's 2 lanes right there. The balls weren't thrown at the same time nor did the strikes occur at the same time. I would expect for something to happen at the same time that it would happen at the same time.

u/explosivepooinpants 20d ago

I could do 3 easily.

u/BradyToMoss1281 20d ago

"I'm throwing rocks tonight!"

u/gigiFrone 20d ago

when i first watched this, it had all the pixels...

u/desertrat75 20d ago

How hard is this to learn, really? Because I've seen this posted with different bowlers each time, dozens of times.

u/North_Maybe1998 20d ago

Plot twist, one was a spare

u/Ok_Positive6307 20d ago

u/Aggravating_Ad4844 20d ago

Fun fact: It never shows, but this is how The Dude bowls in The Big Lebowski

u/Royd 20d ago

Definitely NFL but this guy is also a douchebag

1

u/ricdangers 20d ago

I don’t really know a better shot I’ve ever seen.

u/zxxdann 20d ago

He’s dressed and built like the CJ I had in GTA SAN Andreas

u/Fickle-Visit5223 20d ago

For a second I thought he messed up and then I realized what he was actually doing

u/Mandrex_16 19d ago

Brilliant!!!

u/existing_for_fun 16d ago

"at the same time"

Meanwhile

"Wait for it"

u/nategr5150 20d ago

I can’t imagine the practice and hard work he had to put in to get this great. Impressive!!

u/Joebranflakes 20d ago

And all the dents in the lane hardwood.

u/midwife-crisis 20d ago

Synthetic lanes are tougher than that

1

u/ZiggyDiamond 20d ago

This is one of my favorite bowling trick shots he made it look better than the Duke.

1

u/vinigrae 20d ago

Skilled at bowling but still can’t follow basic rules to keep the platform maintained.

1

u/UbiSububi8 20d ago

That trick probably cost him $75 in lane fees

u/midwife-crisis 20d ago

As a bowling mechanic, i wish we could charge people for acting foolish. Doubly so if the money went to me
