Carson Claws I see you on a lot of random bowling videos I watch Carson! I guess just since you don’t ever really talk about it on your channel, I had no idea you were such a fan of bowling dude. Do you bowl league? Or did you bowl for your high school perhaps? What’s your average? Any 300’s or 800’s?

I met him when the tour came to my home lanes back in the day. I was a scorekeeper. (We didn't really keep score just kept track of re-racks and stuff) Anyway super nice guy talked with me a bit. Duke will always be one of my favorites.

7:28 WRW congratulates Duke for basically winning the match right there after the 8th strike, now with the match settled he can relax and enjoy watching Duke go for the 300. Then he plays Duke's line on his last ball for a strike! Possibly the most fun he ever had losing.

@AcessDBpro2 жыл бұрын
You may have seen that the announcer stated that this was the 15th, not 16th, TV 300. The reason is that on May 3, 1997, Jason Queen bowled a TV 300 at the ABC (Bud Light) Masters in Huntsville, AL. However, that event was not sanctioned as an official PBA event at the time. In May 2008, the PBA retroactively upgraded the Masters to PBA event status, and statistics for all PBA members were adjusted accordingly. One of those stats, of course, was Queen's 300, so every TV 300 between Queen's achievement and the May 2008 retroactive upgrade (eight total) was shifted back by one. Hope that clears the confusion.

Duke and Petraglia. Two of the nicest guys in any sport - same with Walter Ray. Duke and Petraglia were able to make the transition from the old lane conditions, and balls, etc to the current lane conditions, balls and other equipment. Norm looked like he was back old school with that game. What a great way to be able to change with lane conditions. No one has had more 300 games thrown against him on TV than Walter Ray. Amazing. I grew up watching Earl Anthony battle against Mark Roth, Marshall Holman, a young Pete Weber, and others, including both Duke and Petraglia. Walter Ray ended the argument over who was "the best" when he said hands down it was Earl. A classy statement. Earl didn't start on the tour until after he was 30 years old! Plus, as Walter pointed out, Earl accomplished what he did in such a short, condensed time. Around 15 years, with most wins coming in the first 10 years. I watched many tournaments in the 70s and early 80s where first place was just a few thousand dollars. As noted by the announcer, imagine Earl's career earnings in today's age. Earl made a living by being a human stroking machine. A totally different style, so comparing then vs now is complicated and probably not necessary. Two different eras. Conditions may have drastically changed, but it still comes down to consistently putting the ball in the pocket. Great to see the sport remaining popular.

That was a lot of fun to watch. It was funny to watch Walter Ray Williams and Norm Duke hug because Norm Duke is 5'4" tall and Walter Ray Williams is 6'2" tall. I liked Walter's sense of humor about how Norm was another bowler who bowled a 300 game against him. You can tell that they're friends. 👍🎳

There should be "less room" between the bowlers and the crowd! I mean really Walter Ray and Norm have room for a chair placed sideways and maybe a foot between the approach and the crowd! Too much luxury for these PBA Divas! .....Geez! Give the guys some breathing room!! 😳😳😜😆
@beaulaplume4 жыл бұрын
wait... so I'm confused. Are you saying they need more room, or not? Reason being, "a foot between the approach and the crowd" really isn't that much room. And not really sure what "a chair placed sideways" means?

People often mistakenly misuse the word humble when modest is the correct word. Being humble means thinking of others as much as you do of yourself. Being modest means a lack of boasting or bragging in an overly self-centered way.
