I remember watching Belmonte's match with a lot of people during a collegiate tournament in Indiana. To say everyone was shocked was an understatement.

“Oh my god that’s a loser” funniest thing I’ve heard a commentator say

I commend Chris Barnes on the first clip for not just picking up his ball and chucking it through a solid window lol. Stone 8 followed by a 10 pin to lose. Both looked like perfect shots. Although Walter Ray i could see it too lol. Leaving the 8-10 on a shot that nice? Wtf lol

Bowling...such a simple game to play, but incredibly hard to master.

Randy’s stone eight was absolutely horrific and what made it worse was Schlagel being a jerk about it. Not gonna lie I lost a lot of respect for Ernie after that one.

Part of the Petersen brutality is the completely awkward reaction of Schlegel after. I saw that live as a teenager and it still haunts me.

Randy: That is the worst luck i have ever seen 4:03 Also Randy: 7:20

The ESPN Broadcaster Randy Pedersen leaving a solid 8 pin and losing by one pin in 1995 will still be unforgettable.

One bad break not on here.....Pete Weber’s US open trophy breaking

Yay another thing to watch in quarantine

Missing Belmo’s 7 pin from the 2010 Plastic Ball Championship rolloff. There’s rumors that the head pin is still in orbit over Babylon Lanes to this day.

I remember being a little kid in love with the PBA and finally got to hit the lanes IRL and go so HYPED when I left a Stone 8 just like the pros

I loved bowling as a kid. Couldn't afford to keep doing it. I was good to, at 12 I was bowling between 150s and 180s. Had to quit and give it up for years. Bowled a half a dozen times in 20 years and could barely break 100. Finally convinced the wife that I wanted a couple of good bowling balls and finally got them before the quarantine and got to bowl 5 or 6 times trying to start over and find a mark. Slowly improving my game. I hit 200 just before the quarantine when everything shut down. Been bowling once since it reopened and came so close to breaking 200 on my last game, but got screwed by the 8 I believe, got that, then on the shot I got 9. Total score 199. I was so freaking mad. Can't wait to get back on the lanes. Maybe tomorrow. All in all I think I'm doing good for not doing it everyday.

Everyone knew what was coming when they saw the thumbnail 😖😲

IDK if it was PBA but Del Ballard Jr. guttering vs Pete Weber on the final shot gotta be up there

"He just lost the tournament!"

In a tourney I bowled in years ago, missed out on $10k that would have been a 300. 3 solid 8 pins in the game. Best game I have ever thrown with every shot in the pocket. I've had 300's before with a little action but never perfect shots. I feel for these guys.

It's 1:57AM and I'm watching a top 5 video for a sport I haven't played since I last went to a birthday party as a kid. Thanks YT algorithm!

Trolling poor Randy. "They won't put two solid 8's in one video, will they?"

I once witnessed a 298 by my doubles partner, the final shot was the 7-10 split. That is really odd to carry that well to then lose carry of both corner pins on the same shot

In 2009, my friend and I were in the finals of a pretty big Bakers Doubles Tournament at Circle Lanes in East Haven, CT. So he's going to bowl the tenth this game. He needs two strikes and at least 9 for us to tie and force a rolloff, or strike out to win. He throws the first two ten back, 12th shot pocket 7-10 and we lose by one. That was a long drive home for us. Great shot that just didn't carry.

This is such a painful video to watch but love it regardless

I once bowled a solid strike and had a pin bounce off the lane and stand up again! I was completely dumbstruck!

Randy Pederson does NOT approve of this upload 😂😂

Barnes' BACK-TO-BACK 7-10 during the 2011 PBA Playoffs were AWFUL!

I lost so much respect for ernie after that 8, c'mon man, at least tell him that he did a good job, dang though that is harsh...

Honorable mention: Mika Koivuniemi at the PBA’s Lumber Liquidators 68th U.S. Open in 2011 _whiffing_ the 10 pin in his final frame of the championship match against Norm Duke.

I knew Randy’s stone 8 would be here! Yikes, always gives me the chills 😖😬

Malory: hit high pocket with a 8-10 degree entry angle and your ball will NEVER touch the 9-pin. Some other pin has to take it out for you. Most of the time it does, but don't cry if the 9-pin stands. On a proper strike the ball is supposed to get the 1-3-5 and 9 pins. The resin ball giveth (sick carry on light hits) and the resin ball take the away. Barnes: tough break, no doubt about it. The head pin got in between the ball and the 5-pin and prevented the ball from pushing the 5 into the 8. Ditto with Peterson's solid 8. Belmonte: same thing happened on both 7-10's. Light hit, head pin caromed off the front of the 2-pin and came across the lane, missing both corner pins. Ball hitting so strongly that the 5-pin blew over behind the 7-pin, instead of knocking it over. Ball hitting so strongly that you see something that almost never happens on a half-pocket hit: 6-pin wraps around the 10-pin like a ringing 10. Don't complain about it, Jason: the resin ball giveth and the resin ball taketh away. I have gotten so sick of leaving high-flush 9's and light-pocket ringing 10's that I have cut my entry angle down to about 3 degrees and dropped to a 14 pound ball. Now I almost never leave a high-flush 9 or a ringing 10. On the hit where you see a lot of ringing 10's by high entry angle players my ball deflects a bit so the 6-pin will snap out the 10. I might leave an occasional 5-7 or 8-10, but to me that is better than looking at solid 9's and ringing 10's all night. Deadeye: made two great shots, going for the high hard one on the last shot. Threw a waterball and got just what you deserved.

I feel Walter Ray's 8 10 should've been number 1, by far!!

Pba bowling what is the name of the song in the background

The late, great Don Johnson, 'The Kokomo Kid'? 1970 on PBA Bowling Show, left a solid 10 pin when going for a perfect game in the finals.

You could add (yes it's internet fed TV): Andrew Anderson (2018), Osku Palermaa (2015), Bill O'Neill (2014) with pins the stood back up !!!

Actually the Randy Pedersen Stone 8 against Ernie Schlegel is the worst break in all of televised bowling history...

The Ballard Ball missing from the list?

The worst break in bowling history is ABC not recognizing Glenn Alison's 900 because they didn't have an award for it!

They will NOT leave Randy alone. #freestone8

Honestly, I think Belmos 7-10s are worse than Randy's 8pin. Although, I think that cost Randy POTY too. Can't exactly remember for sure 🤔

Schlegel with the class move

The cleanest, nastiest, disgusting 8-pin in history. That thing was so clean, it's almost "unbelievable" 🤣

#4 doesn’t belong here. He was down by 22 when he left it.

Randy Pedersen after every leave: "I know a little bit about that."

Leaving a solid 8 pin is the worst break in bowling next to a pocket 7-10. Jason Belmonte left two ringing 7-10 splits in one game which is really rare.

I CANT BELIEVE HE 8-10d ON SHARK... Cheetah hoss..

1974 Cleveland Open (it was televised): Earl Anthony leaves a stone 9 on his 12th ball for a 299.

I remember watching that 8 10 by Walter Ray live, but I knew something bad was going to happen when he missed left and didn't get the ball to the dry part on Cheetah.

How Randy didn't tackle Ernie I will never know.

I still love bowling but tbh I haven't watched much of the PBA in many years now. About ever since the two handed bowlers really came into play, though that's not my reason. I miss seeing these names on Sundays 0:20 Tommy Jones, Parker Bohn, Pete Weber, Jason Couch, Mika, Mike Wolfe some others that aren't on that list. I mention Wolfe because I see him frequently at my bowling alley in Louisville, KY. He owns a shop inside.

I still feel bad for Randy because No One will get over it

I have had this happen to me. I bowl on my high school’s bowling team and we were in the state semifinals. I needed a double in the 10th to send us to the state championship. I got the first, but then left a solid 8 and it cost us a trip to the state championship

I bowled 35 years and had 5 290 games with leaving one pin on the first ball. Never shot a 300..

anyone know the soundtrack

Maybe I'm a bad guy, but I'm going to go ahead disagree that a high pocket 9-pin leave is one of the top 5 "bad breaks" of all time in the PBA. Also, I was in the stadium for #1 in Pittsburgh, as I had been a youth that had bowled in the TPC Pro-Am in Harmerville.

I don't know why you show the text of what's going to happen before it happens. Isn't that the point of WATCHING the video?

For Chris Barnes, both have happened to me in that exact order. Worst feeling cuz both were amazing shots

PBA we need the greatest comebacks video.

Yay! Friday Five... poor Randy... Thank You for making my Fridays... #PBABowling

“He 8-10’d on Shark” kills me everytime

Ernie and Patrick should still be embarrassed for their reactions.

What about Del Ballard Jr.?

Replace WWR Jr's 8-10 and in its place Don Johnson's ringing 10 on his 12th ball for a 300.

The PTSD is real. Especially numbers 1, 2 and 4

You throw a bowling ball with two hands, you deserve every bad break you get.

Randy with ‘Oh my God, that's a loser!’ followed by him losing on the next shot! 😂

What is a "break" in bowling?

The music sounds like the song safety dance, u know we can dance. We can dance everything is under control!!

How is earl Anthony's stone 9 299 game not on here?

I will never forget when I fit my ball in between the 3-10 without touching either

Let's not kid ourselves, who DIDN'T think Randy Peterson's stone 8 was going to be number 1 🤣🤷‍♂️

Can anyone tell me what ball Wes threw? The gold and green ball. I assume it’s RotoGrip.

I always remember the "Oh my God, that's a loser!" more than the actual 8-10 Walter left.

Imagine that. Bowling pins that don't fall down. Shocking.

The lack of class is disgusting. I used to think tennis players were the worst

Awesome vid

About that first one, Chris Barnes: Is it being a d___ to ask if it wasn't all that perfect a shot? It looks to me like he was extra-tense (which is understandable, and not fatal) and that he sort of 'dropped' the ball, let it go a smidgen early and didn't really get lift on it. I don't find it surprising that it didn't carry.

Now you see them now you don't now you see them wow

Funny to hear the announcers SCREAMING to desperately try to drum up excitement. The overhyping here would make Gus Johnson blush.

One of the worst breaks I've ever seen even though there's only a short clip of it online, was the 1974 Cleveland Open where Earl Anthony left a stone 9 on his 12th shot when going for a perfect game.

There was also Chris Barnes losing to Michael Haugen Jr. at the TOC. Mika's bad break to Patrick Allen at the US Open, and PA going off about it. I feel for Randy Pedersen about that 1995 event. I watched that one on tv and I couldn't believe how much of an asshole Ernie Schlegel was about that. Such poor sportsmanship, and during his 2 matches, you can hear him going you're mine. Another thing I couldn't stand either was Earl Anthony praising Ernie throughout the telecast.

IMO, Belmo's shots were late into the pocket. From my experience, late into the pocket leaves 10 pins. The fact the 7s were left too was just rubbing salt into the wound. Walter Rays shot was also a tad late and flat. That's perfect for leaving an 8 pin. Not enough drive for the ball to take it out. .

LOL @ Patrick Allen saying Walter 8-10ed on Shark. They weren't playing on shark.

OMG that was riveting - he missed a pin. I'm hooked now, I have to watch bowlling all day LOL. ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................

you could do a whole segment on the numerous times Barnes lost(blew) a finals match

what does breaks mean

I wonder if Belmo's intense hook doesn't make him more liable to the pocket 8-10(?).

Where are the breaks? Breaks are when the pinsetter stops a pin from falling or a pin sliding sideways and not falling. These are just missed shots.

Turn the music off in the background

WOW

Wished i kept bowling. My best game was a 257 at 12 yrs old and 223 in league

No Del Ballard gutter ball?

Stop Malott’s shot at the pocket and it’s pretty easy to see why there was a nine pin there. I’m surprised there wasn’t a seven pin as well.

Schlegl was erg onvolwassen op de TOC van 1995

The 2 belmonte shots were almost identical.

Too be fair Belmo has had some of the luckiest major matches I've ever seen. Not that he didn't bowl well but his opponents had the same luck he did here.

1986 Kansas open p ba 8 10 spilts

sounds like someone is trying to connect with aol

"Omg that's a loser" lmfa9

PA!.....WRw deserved that plaque 8-10

It still hurts watching randys stone 8..

the Solid 8 pin that was left by both Randy Pedersen and Chris Barnes were brutal
