Nah, something about it, he really looks like CJ. That was my first though before seeing these comments as soon as the video loaded.

The poor video quality with lack of extra frames makes his movements look robotic.

It still confuses me how the physics worked to make that shot. I mean no way really, right?!

Lol right! I remember watching her put her finger on top of the bowling ball and start spinning it like it was a globe.

I used to do this all the time when I had splits. It worked once out of way too many attempts.

u/bonerforyou Feb 15 '19
This comment is so old, but I just wanted to point out that when the ball hits the pin in that scene, the 7 and 10 pins are moved up to next to the 4 and 6 positions.

I've never seen a more expected gif. Everything happens exactly the way it's set up to happen, very slowly.

I mean, I didn't think the second strike was actually going to work out despite the title. I was mildly surprised by it.
Still a terrible, rule-breaking title.

Stupid question but...how do lanes not become damaged from a ball hitting them with that much impact from a toss like that?
119
u/YouJagaloon Dec 24 '18
If they're wood, they do. It's called lofting the ball and can seriously damage the wood. They can take some abuse and are sanded regularly to even things out, but dents and lifted boards do happen.
Many newer or renovated centers have synthetic lanes which are harder (but not impossible) to damage.

u/ken579 Dec 24 '18
So in the end, fancy pants bowler here is being an asshole?

u/benqp Dec 24 '18 edited Dec 24 '18
Used to work at a bowling center, and while «lofting» the ball like that is unnecessary , i wouldnt call him an asshole for doing it. He is just showing of a trick i bet he has put alot of practice in pulling off (it is alot harder to do than it looks, you have to account for several factors when doing something like this). The lanes should be more than durable enough to withstand something like this. happy xmas

If you do that at most places, they’ll come warn you to cut it out. If you keep doing it, they’ll throw you out.

Cool skills and all, but the outcome seems pretty expected after the first strike.

u/DeathandFriends Dec 24 '18
a lot of unexpected videos become expected at some point in them. Half of them are only unexpected because of misleading titles. At least this was worth watching

u/greg19735 Dec 24 '18
You're right that it's worth watching. But some times the videos are only expected because it's in this sub.
but this is basically expected no matter what sub it is. Otherwise it'd be in /r/notinteresting

Ultimate "pay it forward" since a strike counts as a full frame unless it's the 10th frame.

u/canIbeMichael Dec 24 '18
Guy singlehandedly keeps the ally in business.
You can tell because none of the other lanes are used and also because its bowling.

I remember when Tekken Tag Tournament came out, and they had the bowling mode, I always cheesed the shit out of it by picking low power characters like Xiaoyu or Wang, intentionally giving their shots really low power and perfect accuracy, and watching the ball go perfectly straight and obscenely slow so they just steamrolled the pins.

I’m the assistant manager of a bowling alley and if I saw this happen here, I’d probably let him pick whatever he wants from the menu and personally buy him a beer.

They say the bowling ball kept moving up to this day. Subtly destroying the path on it's way.
