There Is No Oil On This Bowling Lane!

All right, no oil challenge.
So we did decide on a warmup shot.
And I think the first warmup shot,
I want to throw just a regular shot,
like there is oil on the lane and see what it does.
So does it matter that you're throwing strong balls,
weak balls, do you think?
We're going to figure that out.
I wish I had a plastic ball,
but I actually don't own a plastic ball.
So this is what a normal shot looks like on no oil.
Okay.
Oh yeah.
That is drastic.
That is a-
There's no slide.
There's an immediate hook.
Okay.
So I guess the less reverie would be good, right?
Wow.
I was like kind of impressed with that.
Oh man.
I assumed that there being no oil on the lane,
it didn't matter what ball.
I mean, I guess I wish I had a plastic ball,
but I mean, we're going to have to figure out,
dude, the swing's got to be straight today
with no rotation.
Oh my God.
I'm going to fall into the trap
of thinking I can shape it a little bit.
No way.
And it's not a good thing.
It's not possible.
Man.
I think I'm going to be pretty good at this.
I'm a little nervous.
That's pretty good.
Maybe I need to go to the attention store.
Nah.
All right.
Oh no.
God, that's just so drastic.
All right.
So let's get into it.
We have a game.
What is the number that you think we can shoot?
For me, a hundred is pretty nice.
I think a hundred is the bar.
Hundred's the bar?
Dude, making a spare,
I'm not even sure how we're going to make a spare.
No, I have no idea, but I think we can do it.
I think we can do it.
All right, let's go.
Let's rock.
I'm going to go with the strategy of no rotation.
Just like no rotation at all.
What?
That's pretty good.
I don't know if you can hear that at home,
but the ball's rolling over the thumb and the fingers.
It rolled over everything the entire time.
Well, there's no oil, so there's not a track mark.
That's funny.
I was going to show you the flare rings,
but there's no oil.
Oh, so I have to somehow come up with a strike here?
Wow.
Oh, see?
All right.
See, okay.
So this is the shape I'm getting,
is I'm getting hook immediately,
and then it just bails out,
and then it actually turns a little bit to the right.
No, I like what you're doing.
I don't know how you're doing it, but I like it.
It backs up a touch.
Now, the question is, how do I make this?
Because you have to throw it dead straight.
If there's any rotation on it,
you're getting too much hook.
Nope.
So you know what's crazy is,
I normally throw my spares with a little bit of a backup,
but it actually backs up.
I think the key is going to be strikes.
Like, we can get some strikes going.
All right, no rotation.
That's the key.
Oh God.
It just, that was a little backup.
That was a little backup.
A little backup, and it just goes.
There's no forgiveness.
All right, that's okay.
That's okay.
We can spare this.
I'm not sure how you're going to spare this, to be honest.
Well, I can tell you one thing with the spare.
I either know off my hand if I'm going to pick it or not.
There's no, oh, that might get there.
Oh, you got it.
Oh my God, that was so good.
Wow.
You are a strike and a spare.
I'm clean.
You're clean.
We're clean right now.
How's that even possible?
It's good clean living.
All right, so now I'm going
with my hook straight backup motion.
Oh, shaping it like a boss.
Oh.
That was nice.
The five seven blast.
Dude, you're actually like bowling on this.
Like.
Yeah, this is my game.
I don't know why we don't bowl on this more often.
We should, like, why not?
I mean, who cares if it's going to destroy the lane?
All right, no rotation.
Can't even back it up.
Focus.
That's pretty good.
Yes.
Wow.
You're going to get the 200.
Confident in the.
Wonder how the Chinese Taipei would do on this.
Oh, they would destroy this.
Would they?
Eh, maybe, I don't know.
Probably not, actually.
Oh, he got greedy.
Nope.
Oh, I thought that was perfect.
Good luck.
Ah, yeah.
That's all I got to say is good luck.
What am I going to do on this one?
Got to be a little backup.
Yeah, I mean.
Got to be a pinch of a backup.
Go at an angle?
I don't know.
Good luck.
I don't even want to shoot this spare.
Nothing to it.
Oh.
Lock up.
How are you clean right now?
All right.
It's early.
I have plenty of time to mess this up.
Oh, go a little.
The heaters.
Same hit.
Okay.
The messenger five, baby.
I guess.
Come on.
I guess this is not my jam.
Are we getting lane marks on the ball here?
We're going to create a fire?
What a commanding lead early.
Kyle's throwing heaters, dude.
What am I even going to do here?
There it is.
The Brooklyn hit.
I think I'm going to aim there.
Cause I'm getting a little backup at the end.
So might as well aim to the left side of the head pin.
I'm not going to lie.
My original strategy for this was going to say like,
you just got to fluff it.
Like just make sure your hand's in the right spot.
And then immediately went to just throwing it
as hard as I can.
I'm going to try to hit the right side
of the head pin this time.
It was not.
It was going there.
It was.
And then just picked up.
It's like right at the end.
I know I need to just do this.
And then get a little over there.
I'm not moving.
He's got a turkey, man.
All right.
I'm going with the Brooklyn.
Oh, they hosed me.
They hosed you.
We got to reset.
One moment.
We're back.
I'm going to go with the hook early.
It's going to slide over to the Brooklyn side
and back up a touch at the end.
Nope.
Way too much hook.
That's the grab of Rooney right there, man.
You got to be disciplined.
You have to be disciplined on that one.
All right.
Just dead up it.
I think I like Kyle's strategy a little better.
Just throwing the humdingers.
However, I'm a spare master.
Except I don't know.
I mean, what do we do here?
Okay.
So I have to somehow get the eight and the 10.
I can hit the one three.
I think I'm just going with my regular Brooklyn shot.
Yep.
That's pretty good.
Yes.
Yes, sir.
We're both going to get to a hundred.
I'm already at a hundred, bro.
I am fired up right now.
Too much.
No.
Oh.
So what's weird about that one,
I felt like you put a little too much oomph on that one.
Too much?
Yeah.
I mean, it definitely felt different.
It looked different going down the lane.
But I mean, honestly.
Where it ended up was the same place.
But just how it got there was just like a pinch different.
I mean, honestly,
the strat is to just hit the one in front every time.
I should pick this.
I think I have to move my eyes just a smidge,
which could just throw everything off.
Oh no, I hooked it.
Hooked it.
You lucky dog.
This actually kind of teaches you to like come up the back.
No, you gotta be really sensitive with the hands.
If you come around it, like it's going this way.
So the lane tells you immediately
if you put rotation on it or not.
I would say this is good practice,
but we're probably going to get in trouble
for even making this video.
And now we have a 180.
Now we have a 180.
Be back.
Another one moment later.
All right, we're back.
He iced me.
Kyle's got a monster game going.
That's just a good game.
I'd take that like every game of a tournament.
Oh wow.
Give it some more room.
Yes, sir.
Got me shaking.
That was.
Got me shaking.
That was decent ball motion.
That was actual bowling right there.
I want to try that so bad,
but I'm trying to be disciplined here.
Dang.
This is good.
This is better than two handed bowling.
This is good.
Now I have a chance to double
and I don't really want to do what I did last shot,
but we're going to try.
Nope, missed it.
Oh, touch it.
Dang it.
It's so easy to do.
I'm every other shot.
I'm ace on one shot.
The even frames.
You think of all the YouTube channels,
think I have a chance to like set the high games
for the no low challenge?
I absolutely think you could beat it by 60.
No.
Oh no.
All right.
You're the star.
I mean.
Catch a double.
You catch a double and I decide to do something real stupid.
This could get ugly.
I'm just locked.
Come on, come on.
This is where the Mike Jazz now going straight up the lane
with no rotation is going to come into play.
See if he got it.
I really don't like,
I mean, I should probably go cross lane at this.
But something's telling me to just go up the lane.
That's what we're going to do.
I'm going to go dead up the lane.
I don't know why.
It's probably the wrong play.
We're just going to go dead up it.
No, no.
I wish you guys could hear the ball.
The ball going down the lane going.
Oh no.
My clean game is gone.
You jack that up.
I'm going to throw this harder.
It's got a hook.
It's kind of weird saying it's got a hook.
No oil.
It ain't hooking down lane.
That's for dang sure.
All right.
We got a little seven spare here.
I think next frame I'm going with your strategy.
Easy spare, right?
Oh wow.
That's pretty good.
Easy spare.
All right.
So what are we looking at here?
I got 166 in the eighth and you have like 120 in the eighth.
So I got a 40 pin lead.
Oh, and we got a pin down.
That's all you guys, a 40 pin lead?
It's really all I have.
I can come back.
All right.
Just to show that I can do it all.
Just to show.
I'm actually going to shape this one just a little bit.
So I'm going to move my eyes like 10 right.
We're just going to put a little,
put a little touch on this one.
Oh wow.
Back, back to the other side.
That was bad.
It's like this, the littlest, the littlest rotation.
And I felt like I did nothing to that ball.
Oh, I backed it up.
That first shot got me all out of sorts.
I tried to hook it.
And then now when I overcompensated and went that way,
well, it's just this way.
You really jacked the game up.
I am disappointed in you.
We could have broken the record on this channel.
It's kind of like when you, when you got the lead,
what else do you want?
When it's in the bag.
Can I get you now?
If I strike out and you open, we tie?
I need, it looks like seven pins.
Oh, well, you're easy.
I got, I got life.
There is, sadly.
Must strike though.
This is my, oh God.
See, that's what I needed to do on my spray.
I tried to throw the hard one at the head pin.
I just barely backed it up a little too much.
You know, let's take some precision with the old hand.
Perfect.
You know, thinking about this, you know what would be fun
is actually bowling action games on this.
Yeah.
Like that would be fun.
We just wanted to make it dramatic.
Double to shoot 200.
It's going to take a lot of luck.
A lot of perseverance.
I gotta get back to my, just dead up the back.
Some speed.
I think we can do it.
No, hook right.
Oh, he's got the double wood.
Five pin back there.
Oh God.
See, I keep starting these challenges off so hot
and then I just fall apart at the end.
That's what I was talking about.
Too much, like trying to throw it too hard.
Like you got to throw it hard,
but you just can't.
Can't do that.
All right.
So I got to hit this thing pretty much dead on.
I don't know if I've ever shot this actually
with the five pin right behind it.
Come on.
All right.
Good spare.
That felt good.
Get you to almost 190.
Let's end on a strike, shall we?
Let's end on a strike.
One time.
That was actually kind of nice.
I think I'm going to try to play there.
All right.
Finish strong, my man.
Finish strong.
That was good.
190.
194.
Dang, you almost beat it by 100.
I can shoot 160.
It's almost as good as my two handed game.
Oh yeah.
Oh no.
That was a good attempt at it.
That was a good attempt.
That was a better shot.
If I could do that almost every time,
that'd be pretty good.
Boom.
That get me to 150?
Gets me to $1.50.
I'm going to throw Kyle's ball
because I think he's cheating.
That's all you have to exhale.
Wow, this feels terrible.
That was a one, two, three, four,
five, six strikes.
Nope.
All right.
Oh, 160?
150 on the nose.
All right.
So what did we learn here?
We learned that-
We like oil.
We love oil.
I don't know.
I kind of like this.
I feel like I got an edge somehow.
I don't know, man.
I don't know where the edge came from,
but we had 150 to 194.
All right.
Nice game.
Great job.
Nice match.
I'm running hot in these challenges right now.
Yeah, I'm going to the last couple.
I'm kind of happy about this.
It's not great.
I got a lot of making up to do,
but no oil challenge.
Got to shout out the House Bowling Channel
for inspiring this video.
If you haven't, go over to their channel,
subscribe, watch all they do.
But yeah, that was fun.
That was cool.
It's always cool to do something bowling
that we've never done.
And as many games we've bowled,
I've never bowled on no oil.
Yeah, I've only bowled,
I bowled on a 26 foot pattern.
That's the shortest.
That's pretty, I mean, that's basically-
And we had to throw plastic.
And you had to throw plastic?
We had to throw plastic.
Yeah, I think-
But that's wild.
Yeah, the sensitivity of your release to the lane
is like, you don't know it until you try it.
Right.
So-
Yeah, and you know,
you wouldn't necessarily do this out there
in your bowling centers,
unless the owners let you.
Because the ball can damage,
there's a reason there's oil on the lane.
Yeah, there's a reason.
The ball damages the lane.
Yeah, that's why they have oil.
Learned that yesterday.
They put oil on the lane
because it would damage the wood lane.
Synthetic's a little better, but still.
Anyway, that was fun.
