I was livid at home for him. Randy and Rob have to cool it a bit. Norm was really good and actually gave some information on technique

I dont think Rash would have handled that as well

​@@adamlorenz4748hey come on man, it's all good. They all laughed and had a good time, I think it's okay to have that in bowling sometimes. Now let's just say Randy was lucky that it wasn't Pete, he would have had the Webersaurus Rex biting his head right off

That was so funny

That did get me laughing, especially coming from Norm!!

My fav part too. It's so unlike announcers to joke like that, that it was like he broke character.

This made me cackle

And that's after Randy told him STOP IT too ☠

Absolutely incredible to say the least! :)

I had never thought of that as a kind of washout before, but I think you are right to put it in the category. Nice

I remember as a child watching the '94 TOC on tv, from this same Riviera Lanes, and witnessing how many bowlers could not string strikes together. I don't know whether it's the lanes themselves, or the oil pattern that they put down for the TOC, but it goes to prove how difficult this tournament is to win.

A guy I've bowled with has been trying to collect all the 290 games for quite a few years. Last I knew he still hasn't got his 292.

You should watch AJ Chapman's 2 count 😂

That dont explain all the missed single pins tho.. Pro's were just off this week bad. And the spares are straight shot spares that have nothing to do with an oil pattern. They just missed and were terrible shots.

Marshall was the only one playing in the gradient of the pattern, the rest were deeper in the flat stuff. Simo was in a pretty good spot, just had that one bad tug for a split. Marshall is pretty up the back with his hand, so it didn't read the gradient much.

You're not the only one.

That's why I like norm duke and Walter Ray Williams .....they throw conventional lazy curves that stay the same when the lanes break down .

Jason being Jason, violating the laws of physics and hitting the ball twice smh /s

Yeah but my 2-counts never were picking out the 6-9!

Never seen that happen even at local lanes

Oof 😥

Out of thousands of spare attempts, I've done it a total of two times. Not an easy thing to do at all

You must not get out much

@@jakesnussbuster3565 yes, i don't spend my life in bowling alleys. shocker.

Only time I saw that on TV was Mark Roth do it in Milwaukee back in the mid 80s.

AA actually missed a 5-pin when he left it for the 2nd time at 7:43!

Jason Belmonte basically got gifted so many pins by his opponents whiffing so many spares

ngl thats really part of the game today, the players focus so much on power that they have trouble dialing it back to hit spares, vs back in the day when the game was all about accuracy

@@randomhuman2116 if you don't think the game is about accuracy anymore, I don't know what to tell you.

@@randomhuman2116 good point, also, it was harder to strike back then, so spare game was all the more crucial. Regardless, its still unacceptable. I can assure you, I am a better spare shooter than a lot of these guys. I am no where near their level of bowlers, but my spare game is rock solid. I average 226 in league, and last year I missed 1 10 pin in 96 games, and only 2 single pin spares. I am a super accurate spare shooter, as I was taught from a young age that making 10 pins and spares are the most important aspect of bowling. So my dad would coach me every week and we only focused on spare conversation and spare tactics for each spare. Greatest lessons I have ever learned. I am sure someone will bring up being on TV or on the big stage, but these guys missing spares are the best in the world and have tons of experience in these situations. Its so sad to see a title game destroyed over simple spare shots.

That’s the only problem with having a big hook ball,

Wes has major back problems,so he is lofting the ball a lot more than usual,causing him all kinds of trouble

@Edward Ranno Well that sucks, hope his back gets better over time.

@@RobH0421 he wasn’t even going to bowl he was hurting so bad ,but he hung in there,and did pretty good!!

Malott has serious back problems,he’s just hanging in there

Very demanding lane condition. Miss a little, end result miss a lot. Not to mention, the immense pressure of this tournament

@Stormsfury777 I agree but this caliber of bowler should still be better. Missed hitting marks , missing single pins and chopping spares. Nah it was pitiful. All the way to the first seed. Strike or nothing

@@charlesellis792 yeah, we do expect better but that human element of pressure does weird things, even to the best in the business

No one asked

Nobody asked

Why? I dont care who it is, people like Belmo are the people we need in Professional sports. People showcasing not just their skill, but also their mental strength and durability. Belmo is cold as ice and he has that mental strength all the greats have to shut out the anxiety and nerves, and do his job. Its what pro sports are all about. All you can do is respect Belmo and his game.

@@JonHop1 his style is just super ugly. I really like two handed but he has the ugliest form of all of them. I really wanted Tackett to win.

@@joaobaeta5440 Bro, who cares what their form looks like.. If it works, it works. Belmo's style and form is proving to be the most versatile and successful. Moreso than Simo, Jesper, Troupe, etc.. He has more side-axis rotation that allows him to come into the pocket super hard at more extreme angles, which is how he carries so well. For example in the TOC, look how many trip-4's and trip-10's Belmo had. The form is irrelevant if the result is successful. This is a true example of dont judge a book by its cover. Altho, Belmo's form and style isnt even bad. There are far worse than Belmo.

nah the conditions were insanely difficult not to mention all the people on the show made it through 6 rounds of match play to get to this point. If they weren't the best they wouldn't have made it to the show, regardless of how they did on the show

Are you new to the sport or something

Man doesn't understand what lane conditions are...

Try doing it,some of these lane conditions are horrible

You would have been lucky to shoot 150

He literally has to, and he made the show doing it, don't see you on there

Wes Mallot has problems with his back,he can’t bend,so he lofts the ball now
