Golf and bowling are consistency sports, which is why they get less respect. Your drunk uncle bowls a 290 or gets a lucky hole-in-one once, and everybody says "How hard can this sport be?" The tiny adjustments golfers and bowlers make are often invisible to spectators and they are what make the professionals really good. But people have trouble seeing it.

I wouldn't miss it and saw a couple practices when you were playing in town. Though other said I threw hard like Mark Roth you were my inspiration! We did meet a couple times when I was younger.

Pete Weber, and the whole PDW pro wrestling character he adopted in the early 2000s essentially single handedly saved the PBA and got back fan interest that was thought to be long gone. Sure it was a bit silly at times. But not only did he work that gimmick, he bowled like a beast while working that gimmick. Without him performing at the level he did, the gimmick doesn't work. If you don't think he's top three greatest of all time, it's just because you don't like the guy, and not because of his body of work.

I'm 59. I've been bowling since i was 8. I've won a lot of money in those houses in Detroit and the suburbs. I've watched PDW my entire life. We act the same thats why they call me spazman. I loved watching him because he took no ahit from anybody. And he definitely let you know what time it was. Throw strikes mofo's or go home. I didnt go pro because i had a family and at 20 you ask yourself do you have what it takes. Sure i had backers but i stayed home. Pete Weber was my way of living vicariously through pete. I just loved watching this guy bowl. My parents loved his dad, my god rest his soul. Pete Weber, brother i know where your at and i know how it feels. But Man you i think single handedly brought bowling and great competition back in the spot light. Forget that mamma's boy crap and lets talk some trash and get on it. Enjoy your time off.

It was both a wise & a healthy decision for Pete Weber to focus on the Senior tour and the regionals if he wants to. He doesn't need to get needlessly frustrated. AND. PETE WEBER DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO PROVE. HE'S IN THE PBA HALL OF FAME. 37 National Tour Titles & 13 PBA50 National Titles. 48 Standard regionals & 8 PBA50 regionals = 106 cummulative titles. That's a whole lot of titles against the best in the world. AND. First & Foremost, PETE WEBER HAS REPRESENTED PROFESSIONAL BOWLING VERY WELL. And, he has quite a fan following. It will be interesting to see where he is ranked among the best of all-time when the next greatest ever poll is published. In the last poll, he was ranked #4. Just my opinion, he's #2. (Norm Duke is #1, Pete Weber #2, Walter Ray Williams #3. After that, in my mind, it's very difficult to say. Different eras, completely different lane conditions, completely different competition, different equipment, even different environments, etc. Just my opinions. Congratulations to Pete Weber on fulfilling his life long ambition. What a magnificent career.

He’s always been my favorite bowler. He made bowling look good and gave it edge. Met him in 2007 at an event after it was over. He was incredibly nice. Especially considering he didn’t win it. Jack Jurek, Tommy Delutz Jr, Mike Scroggins, and Chris Barnes were the other 4. Jack Jurek was off putting cuz he just bounced out after he lost his match. Barnes spent the whole time discussing with Carmen Salvino what he did wrong cuz he lost too so he seemed distracted the whole time even when fans asked him for pictures and autographs. Delutz was real nice and so was Scroggins who won. I went outside and found Weber smoking and asked him for a pic and autograph. He was so nice and did both with his full attention. True class act. Forever my favorite bowler. Sorry to see him quit the main circuit but at least he did it on his own terms.

Did you have to get your ball drilled differently to use a golf glove? I’ve considered it. You just use a standard glove?
@donshields91523 жыл бұрын
@@TraumaER Like Pete, I've taken off the thumb. The inserts for the fingers are a little larger to accommodate the glove. The nice thing is that once you do the first one, every drilling after that uses the same size inserts. Remember to wear your glove when you check the drilling. It has 2 benefits for me: enhanced grip during release and no calluses during prolonged sessions. I usually practice 18 game sessions for a typical tournament. As for the glove itself, just a typical leather golf glove. I use an HJ Gripper Micro-Fiber Right hand glove. This is where it gets interesting. A right hand glove is for Left-handed golfers and vice versa for Right-handed golfers. I've had interesting conversations at the sports store Lol. Also, since the glove does wear out, I order them in bulk from Amazon. I wear a Large size for dress leather gloves but, for bowling I wear a Men's size ML. It gives me a tighter fit. Perfect for my bowling. My suggestion is to buy the first glove at a Sporting goods store where you can try it on for comfort. Sorry for the long post but, I wanted to make sure I gave you as much info as possible. Good luck and happy bowling!!!

@@donshields9152 thanks for detailed info. I thought about it after my January tournament that left my middle finger torn up badly. I literally ended up bowling a month with just my thumb and ring finger. Still averaged 200+ in league, but bowling like that was depressing as my rev rate dropped significantly. I will consider the glove for the reasons you described and also for consistency. Some nights my hands sweat, swell, are dry, already use tape on my thumb and tape on my fingers - all to get a consistent release. Pete was ahead of his time. Might as well just wear a glove and solve all that nonsense. I just bought more tape last week. $20 for like 3 packs. And who is pricing this stuff out LOL? It's just tape. But oh it is VISE so it must be treated like gold LOL! I currently use a wrist brace so I'm trying to get out it it. Never used one when I was younger, and at times, it is aggravating to use - causes my hand to sweat and still feels unnatural to how I used to bowl. Can't really cup my wrist when it's locked in. It's just another variable I hate. But yeah, good info. Thanks!

That’s depressing but I know what you mean. It’s not the way they depict it on TV. It’s poverty money unless you are making shows. You live bad, eat bad, drink bad, and grind daily.

@@bigmike1114 you got that right. I was a season ticket holder for the Washington Nationals minor league team and the players, who might be 5% away in terms of skill from the majors, are making $25-50 per game. That is insanity to me.

@@bigmike1114 yeah the whole system sucks. Just the idea that some of those players are a lucky week or month away from getting pulled to the MLB. I saw him for the Potomac Nationals and now he's making $340,000,000. EDIT: Him being Soto lol.

PDW is the reason we still have the PBA. Without him it didn't stand a chance. A ton more people watched when he made the show. Thank you for all you've done Pete!

I always loved watching him bowl and he was always so full of energy, and he let everyone know what bowling meant to him and whenever he won a major tournament his excitement level was off the charts, and when he was having a bad night he was animated but that happens to pros as well as league bowlers and he was one of my favorites to watch and he had a lot of respect for the game of bowling as well as all the bowlers he ever faced because that is who Pete was whether you loved him or hated him you watched and his father Dick Weber was one hell of a bowler! but his "who do you think you are.....I AM!" is one of my favorite lines from PDW.......And thank you Pete so very much and your mom and dad are looking down on you with big smiles on their faces and saying "job well done son!" and you should be very proud for all you accomplished in the sport of professional bowling and I want to wish you the best of luck on the senior tour and hope that you win many more titles on that tour as well! God bless you PDW!!!

Every time I ever had the chance to shoot a 300, I always remembered the words of wisdom you shared to help make it through the 10th frame, and every time I ever had the chance at a 300, I got it. Thank you PDW for all you’ve given to this sport we all dearly love. Who do you think you are!! I Am!! Will live forever. 💯🎳👍🏼

Ive known about Pete Weber for a while because of the "who do you think you are, i am" video, but it sucks that i recently got into bowling for real and he's retiring. Missed out on his PBA career but have watched pleanty to know how much of a HOF legend pete is. Love watching this dude bowl.
