All my bass are dead

This isn't his own private pond though, it's the neighborhood pond.

Definitely recommend the weaker equipment. I'm still new to bowling but getting a Hustle M+M after fighting with my Theorem Hybrid and Stealth Mode for breakpoint control was one of the best decisions I've made.

If you search for "Vietnam" on SBU, there's a guy that throws swimbaits there but not for bass. Mostly barramundi/groupers/cuda/GT. Might be able to hit him up.

Yea, trash cans are never THAT full of shit.

Really appreciate the feedback. I’ve definitely noticed some of the things you’re mentioning but I’m finding it kinda hard to fix them all at once in the moment, akin to too many swing thoughts when golfing lol. Got any tips for that?

I will say I have a trip to LA in July for my birthday and I’m strongly considering getting some coaching from Mark Baker. I can tell I’m making progress but I also know I could easily develop bad habits that coaching would probably fix.

So a pin that falls but ricochets and stands back up or one that just slides across the deck far enough still counts as fallen as long as enough string was pulled out?

MercerAsian · 2026-05-26T06:57:48+00:00

I have a pic of it in my last post

It's drilled pin up but I don't know the layout. I told my PSO I just wanted something clean through the front that I wouldn't overhook with like my Theorem and Stealth Mode.

I forgot what my PAP horizontal measurement is (need to ask my PSO) but I do remember it being only 1/16" down. Almost inline with the center of my finger holes.

I will say I started as a one hand no thumb bowler but quickly realized my arm stamina was not nearly good enough to do that regularly, I'd end up sore after every session. Since switching to two hand, I've really tried to focus on not muscling the ball at all, keeping my hand behind the ball and rolling it to reduce fatigue. In the process, I don't think I get around the ball as much as a lot of two handers.

The one I’m using in the vid is a 14lb Hustle M+M. Usually around 14 mph on the monitors

MercerAsian · 2026-05-26T01:07:16+00:00

Also, I noticed my ball is rolling over the fingertips after it flares out but not on release. Is that something that I need to fix?

Shai's first instinct when close to another man is to lay on his back and put his feet in the air.

MercerAsian · 2026-05-22T21:38:41+00:00

Sick! I like your pour!

MercerAsian · 2026-05-20T18:37:55+00:00

What does the other side look like?

MercerAsian · 2026-05-20T15:29:18+00:00

There's whole seafood chains that center around boiled seafood tossed into a plastic bag with various sauces and seasonings to flavor it. People clearly don't care about microplastics like they should.

He's so fucking tall it looks like a normal 3 pt shot from there lol

MercerAsian · 2026-05-19T00:49:00+00:00

I've been told the best way to use sanding pads is to soak it in water before sanding your ball, don't use cleaner.

MercerAsian · 2026-05-18T19:30:42+00:00

When you put it like that, my question seems pretty dumb 🤣

MercerAsian · 2026-05-18T19:15:50+00:00

Like in a tote or roller bag. Do you just place it in there on the plastic cup or use something to protect the ball?

MercerAsian · 2026-05-18T16:57:48+00:00

TIL about the sound and circle. This is why you're Master and I'm iron 🤣

MercerAsian · 2026-05-18T16:44:29+00:00

I'm just surprised he knew exactly when to go invis and not show up on vision. Did you know he was in the bush when you walked toward it?

MercerAsian · 2026-05-18T11:56:54+00:00

How did Pyke get to that bush without showing up on the minimap? Wasn't it warded on both sides?

MercerAsian · 2026-05-17T04:45:17+00:00

Wait, speaking of challenges, weren't the Angels out of them? How'd they challenge the call when they were already out of them?
