Sam Vang
The older one
Started the whole thing. Runs the tournament brackets, chases the pocket, and will absolutely tell you the lane was oiled wrong.
Visalia, CA · Central Valley
We're Sam & Danny Vang. Some nights it's a turkey, some nights it's the gutter — either way we're back next week.
Meet the bros
We grew up rolling for fun and never really stopped. Neither of us is a pro — we're the guys who look up what a "Brooklyn" is on the drive home. That's the whole point.
The older one
Started the whole thing. Runs the tournament brackets, chases the pocket, and will absolutely tell you the lane was oiled wrong.
The younger one
Handles the camera, the posts and the payouts. Still working on a repeatable release, still convinced the next frame is the one.
The scoresheet
Ten frames, ten things that are actually true about us.
Our story
Two brothers, a couple of house balls and a standing excuse to get out of the house. Then people started asking when the next one was — so we made a next one.
Before 2024
Open play, rental shoes, terrible form and a lot of laughing. No plan, no averages, no pressure — just two brothers on a lane.
December 2024
Our first-ever VangBros Tournament, and it actually worked. Jacob Asleson took home $680, everyone who cashed got paid, and we caught the bug for good.
Now
More leagues, more tournaments, more Central Valley bowlers. We're not the best in the house — we just really like being in it.
The gallery
Real photos from our lanes, plus a few things every bowler knows by heart. Tap any tile to open it.
Nothing in that category yet — check back after the next tournament.
