Loved watching these 2 go at it! Two of the best power bowlers from the 70’s & 80’s. Also, love those AMF Starlight masking units! House I bowled at had those,always thought they looked really cool!

It was an honor to watch him on tour. Thank you for all the entertainment you provided. I saw both bowlers the night before this match and was able to get their autographs. Real joy to watch.

The bowling sport hasn't been the same since the 1970s and 1980s...you will probably not see a pro winning 5 titles in a season anymore...I watched faithfully then because it was intense competition...today, it's not as fun to watch...I miss the old days...

This was the era where a 210 in league play was excellent (today they are averaging 230-240+ normally) This was the era where you would bring in no more than 4 balls to competition (Today they are bringing in 20-30) This was the era where you had the first 9 in a row, the entire league would pause to cheer the last three strikes. (Today they shoot 3-4 300 games per night and no one claps and 900 series are becoming as common as the old 300s). This was the era when the PBA tour was consistent ever week and the trophies were awesome. (Today they have no solid TV schedules, some are taped like WSOB, and the trophies for the most part suck) This was the era when you had to wait to get your check and trophy when presented to you. (Today they just go grab it before the game is over). This was the era where a bowling ball could last you an entire season. (Today there are 25 new balls per day and they last a few games). This was the era where you did not see blue oil or any assistance to help the bowlers. (Today they are now even turning them red). This was the era where coaching was not seen. (Today it is all about coaching which makes the bowler look stupid or lost). This was the era where there were many good bowling centers around. (Today many are closing and those who are open are doing more open play cosmic bowling than serious bowling. It makes them more money than leagues or tournaments). This was the era where each center had a good scratch league and the regions also had good scratch and travel leagues with big money. (Today most centers lack a good scratch league or big money league). This was the era where you bowled ONE HANDED as the rule book said. (Today everyone wants to be a Belmo especially the juniors and they don't care about spares or anything else - just be Belmo).

As a shitty 2 hander youth bowler myself I totally agree. I find it hilarious when someone wins the first title of the year and everyone is already talking about player of the year consideration. Because that's about a 1/5 of the pba titles they have each year nowadays

Roth was my favorite. Holman was my 2nd. I had a "bleeder" yellow dot and a regular yellow dot way back then. I had to wipe off the bleeder after each shot. I still have it. My back is bad now so I can't bowl anymore.

Mike Thomas sure it was.....give a bowler that plastic ball today and he'd be lucky to beat 120. The reactive coverstock in today's equipment has made the average bowler better...,it is also ruining the game.
@OlympicSeason6 жыл бұрын
Joseph Gibbons I wouldn’t say it’s completely ruining the game but conditions back then we’re definitely much more difficult and that’s what made these bowlers top 10 in history, they were able to execute in these tough conditions

@Marc Sonnenberg That right lane (40) was super tight. Both Roth and Holman came close to leaving an 8-10 split. I wish ABC back then had worked with the PBA to have good house bowlers bowl on those lanes with the PBA oil pattern, record it, and show the ball reactions. I'd bet that good house bowlers on Lane 40 would leave a ton of pocket splits with the same equipment. I'd have been happy to leave 5 weak 10s on Lane 40.
