too bad mark just missed the 300, it was really cool how the other bowlers and fans came up right away to congratulate him, very touching moment.

If you saw a lot of bowling back then, which I did, you could tell that Mark Roth was taking some of his hand out of the ball. My guess is that if you leaked it right it would never get back to the head pin. Mark and Steve are not playing the track on this show. The track for right handlers back then was usually between the 10-13 board. It looks like both these guys have cut down the hook and are trying to flush every shot so they don't go 5-7 or 8-10. I saw plenty of top pros leave the 8-10 back then. This is a really tough shot to play, because you know you can't swing the ball and you've really got to stuff it in the pocket to carry. Kudos to both these guys for playing the lanes correctly for the equipment of the era. I remember above-ground ball returns and they made it really hard to make the ten pin. I saw this match in the winter of 1974-75. It was Mark Roth's first national tour title, and I was so happy for him. He had been so close many times before. I'd like to see some of today's pros try to shoot 250-300 on this condition, with vintage bowling balls. I recall this was shown live in color, and if I am not mistaken, Mark was using a red plastic Columbia 300, and he carried well with a very flat entry angle. No question that he was flattening his hand release because that's what this condition called for. RIP Mark Roth, an early idol of mine, and an all-time great!

The first game I remember watching on TV...For anyone in the Belmo era, bowling a 299 with 12 in the pocket while half the time your foot is slamming the ball return machine on the delivery is another level of "adjustments"! Of course, Mark Roth was special. RIP.

@onemoremisfit3 жыл бұрын
They had plastic balls back then, the Columbia 300 was popular. I remember a pro in 1975 who showed me his Columbia, it had a small shallow hole drilled near the fingers, this was to test for cover hardness both outside and in the hole. This was to catch the players who dipped their ball in solvent to soften the cover, which at the time was illegal.

Rosanne Casella it doesn't look like much by today's standards, but if you compare the backend reaction of Mark Roth' s bowling ball compared to the average PBA bowler back in the 70's, you definitely see a difference. It was rare for Mark to leave a flat 10.

@StoneCold756 жыл бұрын
Joseph Gibbons I don’t think that was urethane in ‘75. Hard plastic most likely and very hard to hook on wood lanes of the old days
@rosewoodfretboard6 жыл бұрын
That was lacquer finishes on those lanes, my friends. Two-tone rubber balls were the standard. Polyester and plastic balls followed (remember the "soaker" controversy of the 1970s?), with Ebonite leading the charge into urethane by 1980. However, Ebonite did not project consumers paying almost $100 for a bowling ball. Ebonite manufactured AMF equipment at the time and subsequently sold the rights for urethane marketing. That led to AMF's revolutionary Angle series, which caused a seismic shift in the sport. The 1980s saw an explosion of high-performance equipment hit the market as Ebonite would eventually follow suit with its Firebolt family of products, Columbia 300 with its U-Dot series and Faball with the venerable Hammer line. My first urethane ball was a Gold Angle, then I graduated to the Purple, which became my favorite. The last ball I ever bought was a Blue Hammer. The Hammer was great, but boy, I miss my Purple Angle. To David Moore's point, Mark Roth was power personified; he was the original cranker. When Dick Weber said Roth was practically ripping the cover off the ball, that was not mere hyperbole. Nobody injected more raw horsepower consistently into every shot than Roth. Believe you me, if you've seen closeups of his right hand, you'd understand. Part of that was the fact that Roth had his fingerholes and thumbhole drilled a half-size smaller. He would quite literally screw his fingers and thumb into the ball. This gave him, as he put it, "a handful of ball," so the feel was consistent and he didn't squeeze it under pressure. Roth was also incredibly instinctive. He'd take five, six, sometimes seven steps to the foul line. He could make dizzying adjustments on the fly, sometimes in mid-match, and his ability to just flat-out overpower an uncooperative lane condition is the stuff of legend. Years of pot bowling, or "action" bowling, in alleys along the eastern seaboard was his proving ground for the pro tour, and the kid from Brooklyn made good. Sorry to drone on. I could take about PBA history all day.
