Title: Bouncing Bowling Ball
Post by: aguynamedpat on December 19, 2007, 02:23:48 PM
We got bored one day, and after the mechanic kept sending our balls back with tape over each hole, we decided to make use of that tape. So we got some ideas. Fast forward a few days until today. We get some packing tape, about 15 napkins rolled up, and have some fun after finding my buddies PAP....

LOL. That's hilarious. Never even thought about doing something like that. I'm surprised it came back down the ball return.. Or did it?

So what's up your *ss? Have a sense of humor man. You've got to be kidding. It's old grumps like you that keep kids from having a good time every now and then. Give me a break.

I'm an area mechanic for a chain that consists of 5 bowling centers.  Foolish kids like yourself who think your having "fun" end up breaking something.  Would you like to break the pin deck light and spend an hour of your day picking up glass because some punk kid is being funny?  Would you like to replace a ballast or rewire a light because your dumb joke of a bowling ball hit the pin deck light?  

It's not about having fun, when your acting like an axis hole, and I would throw you out in a second.

Your a joke and a disgrace to this great sport.  You should be ashamed of your self.

You don't have foolish sophomoric fun on my watch.

Speaking of pin deck lights getting knocked out, we had a pro-am day at our center and Tomek Jr was trying the flying eagle trick shot and he hit it wrong and took out the pin deck light. lol it was funny, but just wondering if it was a pro that was playing around on your lanes and broke something, would you kick him or her out? just wondering?

It's fun until someone wrecks some equipment <lanes, pinsetters, etc.> in the process.

Lil sidebar....I used to work at a smaller house few years back.  Ignoramus puts his foot thru a fiberglass ball return hood <the old style Brunswick>.  I approach him and say "you'll have to pay for that".....he says "I'm not paying for anything!"  I say...."no problem which car is yours out in the parking lot because I am going to take my foot and put a nice huge dent in the side of your car."

So can kids bowl in your center? Cause they drop balls and do stuff like that. Kind of strict saying pros can't come in there and put on a show for your paying customers. Do you even have anything special for the customers and paying bowlers out there? I bet you don't. Nice customer appreciation.

While this one stunt didn't seem to harm anything, I have to side with Bowling 300 900.  If that ball would have hopped a little more, it could have taken out a light or something.  There's lots of expensive mechanical things back in the pits that most of us don't know about.  I broke a light by dumping my spare ball in the ditch right in front of the 10 pin.  It jumped straight up and glass went everywhere.  They spent about 20 minutes with a shop vac, and still balls were scratched up all night.  I felt bad for everyone even though I hadn't done anything wrong intentionally.

On to the pros; if they had permission, it means the center is aware of the risks being taken should something go wrong.  On the flying eagle, a flying pin could hit all kinds of stuff.  You don't think the displays on the masking units at some centers are expensive?  I know center managers must cringe on the "skills" challenge watching them heave balls half way down the lane.  Drunk idiots and flying bowling balls aren't a good mix.  Older lanes are much softer than new synthetics.  I don't like bowling on dented lanes, do you?  What if they miss and crack/break the gutter cap?  What if during their big wind up, they lose control of the ball and hit someone?

No one is talking about the things normal kids do.  Some of that is a little hard on the lanes, but it's not intentional and not by people who should know better.  Again, if a pro doesn't have permission, he/she shouldn't be doing crazy things either.

I agree with you about that. No, people shouldn't just do things to jepordize the place in breaking stuff but things are going to happen that you can't always prevent like what you was saying, but like if you have a pro-am type thing and charge people $50 to attend just to meet and greet and bowl with pros then loosing a light or two is not going to hurt your pocket. Im sure you would have well over 200+ people there for a pro-am event and at 50 buck a head that would get you about $10,000 for one day and if he can't afford a few lights to give bowlers something to really look forward to and enjoy them selves ever once and a while...something is wrong.

Way I see it is you get your normal amount of money then you have a day where you can rake in over $10,000 from customers and losing a couple hundred on light bulbs, to me is worth it.

So I guess if you don't want to fix stuff and just let it go bad on its on, then yeah don't have any nice benifits for people by having the pros come through and putting on a show but really when it comes to having them there your going to make money period, if that means lose a light bulb or two...so what?

Now if its just a drunk slinging the ball around at stuff and people just being stupid then yeah they need to learn to respect things that are not theirs. The video of the bouncing bowling ball is kind of stupid and not that funny really cause I take my bowling serious and don't like people who play around or have no respect for others or their property, but you can't own a bowling alley and expect nothing to ever happen and when it does even if its an accident just tell them to leave and never come back. Just not a smart thing to do unless its the same person all the time doing it then yeah maybe.

Most of the money for a pro am goes to the pros and the PBA.  The center will make money on the food and drinks from the extra bowlers, but won't make much on the event itself.  And that's once a year at best.

Where did anyone talk about letting things go and not fixing things?  Off topic.

The problem is that once someone does some crazy stunt, 10 people try to copy it or beat it.  There's been a few videos posted here by kids hitting the ceiling with house balls, hitting people in the next lane...  And that's just the ones stupid enough to tape themselves.

A little goofing around is one thing, but once something goes wrong and damage happens, everyone who goes to the center pays for it one way or another.

Well we had a Pro-Am at our center and it was a benifit and all the pros that wasn't on the show came out for free. They paid their own way and paid for their own rooms and everything so that was really cool.

But yeah goofing off and being a butt head is stupid enough then the people recording it is even more stupid.

I work at one of the alleys Bowling 300 900 works at as well. If your there, your gonna be bowling and bowling right. No excuse. If you want to cause trouble, you can do that elsewhere--not in the bowling alley. We've already had an employee's car get vandalized for throwing out kids acting like idiots. In that respect, we wont and cannot tolerate this behavior in and outside our building. It's enough trouble to be cleaning up after the many "slobs" who leave their trash everywhere, let alone to deal with physical and intentional damage to the fascilities.

Dont get me wrong, I'm 18 years old and I like to goof off as much as the next guy but you have to know where to draw the line. When it comes to potential damage to machinery, equipment, or lanes, that's where we have no toleration and will not hesitate to tell people to leave. Apparently you guys who approve of this stupidity within a bowling alley have no respect for the sport and the way it is to played. End of story.

As far as I'm concerned, customers acting stupid like this are going to be costing the alley more money to fix machinery, lanes etc when things get broken. Therefore, if they cannot respect the rules of the game, then they can leave, or the security officer might actually have to his job.

The intention of the sport is to knock down the pins that are 60 ft. away. They did it with a bowling ball that had napkins taped to it. Like I said the object was to knock down the pins so how do you figure these guys had no respect for the sport by trying to knock down the pins? I can agree with what you're saying, just word it correctly because it wasn't not showing respect for the sport but it was kinda immature. I still don't think it's something you kick someone out for. All you have to do is ask them to stop, you don't have to be a d!ck about it.

Wow, look what I started. Anyway, sorry for having fun. We werent damaging anything, the mechanic is a very highly respected mechanic in our area, used to work on the machines at one of the centers out in Vegas. He was laughing right there with us, he even told us it wasnt going to tear anything up. It was half his idea. I have seen people cause way more damage in actual league play, or just people in there during open play. There is a guy who lofts at all of his spares, well it was the third game of league one night and his thumb had swollen up some. He went to loft at the spare, it stuck on his thumb, hit the edge of the lane at the right gutter about 50 feet down the lane and took out themasking unit. They didnt make him pay for it, he did not intentionally tear anything up, nor did we.

We werent kicking anything, throwing things, hitting the monitors, slamming things down, we were rolling the ball at about half speed to watch it bounce. The worst thing that would have happened is the napkins would have fallen off, big deal. They could not get jammed anywhere in the machine, they would shred to pieces before that happened. They would not get stuck under the lane on the ball return, they would have either fallen off or come all the way back up. They never once came off, never got torn up, nothing happened.

Yeah, sorry 300 900 for being "a shame to the game." Thats me right there, a shame to the game. Helping younger kids out, helping them get into the sport, giving them pointers, giving them equipment and getting them into the sport, Im such a terrible person. I dont kick ball returns, I dont punch tables, I dont punch monitors, its a GAME. Pull your head out of your butt and lighten up dude, if your machines cant take a few napkins then you might want to look into getting new machines. What can a napkin do that a flying pin cant? You're whole zero tolerance policy is bull crap. Let people have fun, it doesnt come out of your paycheck if something gets damaged.

You going to kick this guy out for "horsing around?"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64vbnwtL7I8

Or how about Norm Duke comes in your center and wants to perform this for a few kids, you're going to tell him he cant do it?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LFUVGaasAc

Or how about this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcqOM1o6LHk&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCgxgXnOd2A&feature=related

Or how about one of the oldest trick shots in the book?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQxrLJcJXI4&feature=related


Seriously dude, lighten up. Its obvious that its not only "kids" that like to do this kind of thing and horse around. You can tell the pro's enjoy the hell out of doing the trick shot shows, probably enjoy them more than the real events due to the laid back atmosphere and the creativity involved. Go up to Norm Duke, Brian Voss (the bouncing bowling ball videos were taped at the center that Voss coaches at and came from), Chris Barnes, Parker Bohn and the rest and tell them they are a shame to the sport for having fun every now and then. You sir are the shame.

Maybe they shouldn't allow slam dunks in the NBA since there is a chance that the backboard could break and glass could go everywhere. Ask Shaq about this. he knows firsthand. That makes a lot of sense huh? No slam dunk contest in 300's gym, something could possibly go wrong. Ohh no.

The rules are the rules and you play by the rules in all of the bowling centers I do work in.   That's why we run the best bowling center chain in our area.  We are the largest bowling center chain in the area.  We also do the most business of any center in our areas.  When centers close they come to us to purchase them and take them over.


We simply care about bowling, and how bowling should be done.  We do not tolerate stupid sophomoric behavior.  You act like a adult or a mature adult or you do not bowl.  It's as simple as that.  

We don't tolerate the things that other bowling centers do.  If you want to act like a child than you can go there.  If you want real bowling, at a real bowling center that does not tolerate stupidity than we are the bowling centers for you.

We run a tight ship, and we do it right and respect the sport.

Bowling, a simple game that has been made difficult by humans.


There is a difference here man. Just because we are having fun does not mean we dont care about the sport. Again, I use the PBA reference. None of the guys on the trick shot shows must have any respect for the game, because they are having fun. Bowling is a SPORT, SPORTS are about having fun and goofing off every now and then. If it was serious 100% of the time no one would do it, its as simple as that. Get that through your head, that goofing off and having fun are not disrepesctful, they are part of sports.

I strive every day to make my game better, I practice at least 4 times a week, on house shots, patterns, whatever it takes. I try to bowl a tournament every weekend as well. During practice I turn the scorer off and just practice.  I practice spare shooting, practice throwing a different ball each game so I can learn my equipment so when it comes time to make that ball switch in tournament play, I know what I can go to. I practice different hand positions, moving forward and backward on the approach, practice my release and footwork. I work very hard to make my game better, and everyone that knows me knows that. But, on the other hand, you cannot be serious 100% of the time. One of the guys that was doing that with us was a long time member of the PBA Regionals before developing testicular cancer. He now realizes that life is too short to be dead serious 100% of the time, you have to have fun and let loose sometimes. Just because we did this does not mean we dont strive to make our game better.

You never bowl opposite handed? Or turn around and bowl between your legs? You never bowl backup? You never HAVE fun? Say you go bowling with some friends who are nowhere near as good as you, you never bowl opposite hand or granny style? Personally, I dont like bowling dead serious with people that arent up to my skill level. I dont like shooting 230's or more when my girlfriend struggles to break 100, it makes her feel very stupid, so when I bowl with her and other friends like that I dont try, I just HAVE FUN. What a concept.

So do you let children bowl there?  Bumper bowling and all that?  What about groups who come in and want to do a candlelight bowling event?  Birthday parties?  Old people with ramps?  Cosmic?!?

If you allow any of the above, then you are just spouting useless drivel.  The guy was having a bit of fun, and if the mechanic or the owner had a problem with it they wouldn't have been sending back the ball with tape over the holes.  It's called screwing around, you know escaping from everyday life and having a bit of a laugh.

Please, tell me how this is relevant to this topic? Vandals being angry and tearing up the bathroom versus rolling a ball down the lane with a few napkins. That is COMPLETELY different.

It's relevance relates back to the topic in the sense of strict rule placement. Due to people that act in such a manner, immature and insubordinate, we can not afford to take the risk of allowing actions such as this to occur. This specific demonstration of 'bouncing balls' may in itself not be so destructive, but it only paves the way by setting a precedent of lax regulations. It is for reasons such as these that the rules have been instated.

You're 30 years old, give me a break.  You're practically part of this generation of youth.  You obviously have a chip on your shoulder about your troubled youth.  Don't act like todays youth get eveything handed to them, none of us want to hear your pity party.  There's just as many rich/middle class/poor kids now as there was 10 years ago and as there was 40 years ago.  So you grew up not having alot, blame your parents for not doing something about it.  Don't come to a bowling forum with your nonsense when you know damn well you did the same kinds of things as a kid, whether it be at an alley, on a ball field or wherever.  Cheers to you and your "tight ship" captain!

As a center owner, if someone pulled this crap in my center, OUT THE DOOR THEY WOULD GO!!

With that being said, the lil ba$tard that did this would probably be the first one to cry if his ball hit the pinsetter because of his stupidity, and got damaged, and he would want a NEW ball.  Ummm, right.  You want to act stupid, go audition for JACKARSE!

It's relevance relates back to the topic in the sense of strict rule placement.


Rule placement for bowling, not for how people go to the bathroom. Lol. Another pointless arguement from someone trying to defend this dude. I can understand being strict, but it sounds like this guy is so uptight he squeaks when he walks. I understand and abide by the rules at our house but people are going to be people, most of us have a sense of humor. I don't see what it would hurt to go over to them and ask them to stop instead of trying to act like a hard*ss and just kicking them out. Have some respect yourself for them before you start telling us to respect the sport. Be courteous enough to walk up to them and ask them to stop instead of just kicking them out. How do you know that they mean harm? What if someone gets their ball stuck on their thumb and they loft the ball really far down the lane, are you going to kick them out because of a total accident? You couldn't pay me to bowl somewhere like that.

Dude, serious, stop with the personal attacks. Stop calling us punk kids, stop calling us sophomoric, stop calling us clowns. Stop saying we disrespect the sport, stop saying we are a shame. I have not personally called you out once, so Id appreciate it if you would stop. I have a real job, have been working different jobs since I was 15. I work for a real estate company doing Property Management, last time I checked that is a "real" job. But maybe its one of those fake jobs, just like I dont bowl at a "real" bowling center like yours. Mommy and daddy dont pay for anything for me. I live on my own, I pay rent, I pay bills, I pay for all my bowling stuff myself. So stop acting like Im some spoiled little brat who doesnt know right from wrong. You are being very stubborn and hardheaded here. You may run your center like this, SWEET, thats your choice. Was this done in your center? NO. So have a laugh with everyone else. Do you even remember the last time you laughed. Let loose, stop being so uptight.

And stop with the personal attacks.

Wow lighten up, I work on A pinsetters and he could hurt nothing but the deck light. If you break that it takes like 5 minutes too change if you know how and being a pin chaser you should probably know how too do it. Man, I hate too know what you would say if you see the things me and my buddys do after hours.

The person throwing the ball like that should go play with some fireworks in their living room and play in some traffic during rush hour. The fact that you premeditiated this immature behavior with a video camera just goes to show you and your idiot friend have the IQ of an unripe tomato.

You're a disgrace to the game, and give it the black eye it has today.
Damage or not.

Exactly how would you figure out the IQ of a ripe tomato? What a waste of a post.

Your actions are not defendable, nor should you be proud of your video.
You're 19, the game has a lot to offer to people in or searching for a college.
Be something more, be more than "that guy" everyone points at for the wrong reasons.

If you had a coach, or someone young watching you do this in person (or on youtube), what would you think as a role model?

For us to bring this game back to where it belongs it starts with each person stepping up to the plate to make it better.

Waste of a post? Waste of a game.

I got permission to do the video from the general mangager and the head mechanic.  What is up with you.  I have been in the bowling business for 15 years.  what I have been through in the past year, I have learned to have fun in my life and I dont take things as serious.  This video shows the lighter side of bowling and you can have fun while doing it.  I used to bowl in the PBA and now I bowl out in vegas every year.  Plus I might be on storm staff at the new year.  Just have fun in life.

It's not about having fun, when your acting like an axis hole, and I would throw you out in a second.

Your a joke and a disgrace to this great sport.  You should be ashamed of your self.




your a TOOL

You don't have foolish sophomoric fun on my watch.

An owner of a bowling alley responded saying that he strongly disapproves of the act. Nuff said. You've heard it from the mechanics, employees, and finally the head hauncho.

The ball bouncing is funny I'll admit but stupid and wreckless if you ask me...

Yes I agree bsiballer & bowlingnut.  I'm 46 years old & when I watched these videos I had a good laugh.  These guys intentions were not bad at all.  They didn't harm the lanes or the returns or anything that I could see.

I've read all of the replys & the replys to the replys & the ones that were the most immature were the ones bashing these guys for having a little fun.  That's just the way I see it.  Merry Christmas & Happy New Years, lets move on now please.

I could not agree with Monster Pike more. This has gotten way out of hand. Some of you really need to lighten up and have a little fun sometimes.

1909 views and 64 replies, and its not even to 48 hours yet. That is plenty, time to end the fun.

Bowling 300 900, numerous people who have replied here have contacted me, and one of them has reported you to BR admins for personal attacks. You were very persistent about bashing us for having fun, so people singled you out. I have gotten PM's about certain other people that responded with personal attacks here, but the majority of them were about you.

Here it is straight from the rules:

6. Attacks on other users or moderators is not acceptable.
These attacks will be cause for removal of
your account from ballreviews.com.

Calling people tools, punks, clowns, saying we are a shame to the game, etc. are personal attacks. Saying we are punk kids, how do you know our ages? One guy in that video is 31 years old. But according to you he is a kid. I am a moderator on many car forums, and while we allow profanity, we do not take kindly to personal attacks on others (unless in a joking manner, and you obviously were not joking). You spouted off at the mouth your very first post, bashing us for having fun.

So you have been reported, you might want to lighten up. With this said, again I could not have said it any better myself. Im locking this up before it gets even more out of hand.

SOME OF YOU NEED TO LIGHTEN UP!
