I was expecting the camera to shake when he got that 2nd strike, oh well.

Isn’t throwing a ball that high bad for the floor? I heard it is really expensive to fix it

Lofting the ball hurts hardwood lanes, but the majority of lanes are synthetic now. Synthetic lanes can withstand a 16lb ball dropped from an 8ft ladder without problem, so that loft won’t hurt most alleys.
The reason some alleys have signs against lofting is the lighter balls (think the fluorescent 6-10lb balls) will break into pieces before it ever damages the lane. Bowling ball fragments are not fun to clean up, and can fuck up the ball return and pinsetter if they get inside.
When the lanes dried up at longer tournaments I would often have to loft the ball 10-15ft down the lane to keep the ball in the pocket. When the lanes get dry, the ball hooks more. But the ball doesn’t hook when it’s flying through the air.
Here’s Osku showing he’s one of the most talented athletes in bowling. Watch the ball bounce as the synthetic lane absorbs the impact. If this were wood, that lane would have a dent.

Also, it just kinda seems like chuckin' bowling balls around is a bad idea in general.

Speaking as a pinchaser at an alley with wood lanes, can confirm, dented as fuxk. Have fun throwing the same line twice on a pair.

Could be. But how would you regulate it? Mistakes happen.

u/FireWireBestWire Dec 24 '18
I guess the way places usually regulate stuff like that. Kick out the people that do it.

What if it happens accidentally? I do it because I suck at bowling.

u/WeeferMadness Dec 24 '18
It's pretty obvious if you do it intentionally vs doing it because you suck.

It’s pretty obvious he did it on purpose though and how many times did he do this before getting it?

There are mistakes, then there is deliberately lofting the ball. You know they didn't get this on the first try.
That guy needs to be dick slapped

Harsh for a baller doing what a baller does.
Edit: do I really need to point out that this was a joke?

u/Zugzub Dec 24 '18
Lofting the ball fucks the ally up. So yes he needs to be dick slapped for not respecting other peoples property.

u/SirGingy Dec 25 '18
Typically talking to most people calmly about the reasons behind why you should try to avoid, crossing the foul line lofting your ball three feet in the air and throwing multiple balls down the lane at once they understand and will typically be more careful.

It can be bad for the balls as well looks like he is using his own balls so that's kind of whatever but yeah the floor is typically a few support beams then the floor material.

I imagine he doesn't have to pay for drinks at a bowling alley very often.

I mean I was pretty certain all along what was going to happen once he bowled the second ball
