Loved this Era of bowling. I grew up watching this tour and was privileged enough to compete with these guys in the mid 2000s

Before the two handed takeover lol it's also nostalgic to see and hear the sports news and scores at the bottom of the screen

The Semi Final Match of the Flagship Open was fantastic. Also, Chris Barnes had an amazing performance.

この時代のPBAツアーは、見ごたえがあります。私は日本で観てますが、パカーボーンのファンです。ボーリングは、30年位現役でした。PBAの配信有り難う御座います。

They bowled 48 games back then. Today’s “tournaments” 4 300s would be like 1/4 of their games so that would carry someone much further.

In the title match, you see the difference between a local hero with a good game and a real professional bowler. Rudy was a great story and entertaining though 👏

Couple odd occurrences for Steelsmith during the 2nd game, leaving that nosedive hit at 21:36 and then at 29:37 it's not very often you see that spare leave, the 4-7-8 from a light hit.

OP, Marshall Holman mentioned a 2OT CBB game, which suggests a late start. Do you have any idea what time this telecast actually began? All I know for sure at the moment is the scheduled start time was 2 PM ET.

No idea. I remember watching it live. I can’t imagine it was delayed by a significant amount of time.

If Rudy never whiffed that 10, both his & Barnes’ career would’ve played out VERY differently IMO…

I sincerely doubt that. As much as I can’t stand Barnes, he’s one of the most physically talented players ever AND the most knowledgeable player ever. You’re just never holding that combination down for long.

On the topic of athletes with "Barnes" as the last name MIKE BARNES from Karate Kid 3 would absolutely destroy Chris Barnes in a street fight but at bowling my money is on Chris.

Sorry, I don't like where this has all went. Grew up watching the PBA in the 1960's &70's. Even in the 1980's the game has some integrity. The PBA has done a piss poor job promoting. The Prize money is a joke. I left the game in the early 1990's & haven't looked back.
@beeemm2578 4 ай бұрын
They started trying to make it into something it wasn't. As I've stated, Chris Schenkel calmly calling the action WAS a huge part of bowling to me. He epitomized the sport then. Not Rob Stone screaming, making up catch phrases, and just being an annoying jerk. Let alone some of the arrogant douche canoes throwing the ball.

@@enigmazero8624 I really was talking about the product, the golden pins, crowd noise, they were making it like pro wrestling. You are correct, the current tour is haphazard I wish they would just have a set tour with finals on Saturday don't worry about college football. Get and keep your fans I would rather watch bowling for 90 minutes than college football. Maybe incorporate some form of in game betting or prop betting, who gets the most strikes over/ under strikes per game. I think bowling has always been action oriented. Take advantage of that fact.

@@johncavanaugh2517 I like a lot of that actually, though I think the gold pins should make a comeback. It’s just too easy for the top players now. All the patterns play the same and they manipulate them with their practice time anyway. I can do without a police siren telling me someone has front 7 every single game.

@@enigmazero8624 Rob Stone just makes it too much like wrestling for me. People screaming, catch phrases, bad attitude, head case players. Remember when Chris Schenkels classy Midwestern demeanor ruled over the show? That was bowling to me. A circus atmosphere has no place in professional bowling to me.
