Bowled the qualifier for this tournament. Walked in the first day and there was a line for the ball polishing machine. Guys were polishing blue dots! Scared me to death.
Was this in the truck or the center? The Lustre King at Dublin was renowned for always being in top notch shape thanks to being serviced regularly. Scratch bowlers would travel from many miles away to use it.
They mentioned Stonehenge in Cuyahoga Falls and Fred Borden...thats about 15 min from me....The Akron area was a hub of professional bowling for years. Including Mike Durbin..
McDowell bowled well in this event…but the lanes seemed drier than in previous Kessler tournaments. It required a lot of speed and loft to conquer. That being said, this seemed taylor made for Soper, as he bowled well all week and always had the ability to throw hard and straight.
The winner did not mention his sponsers. Isn't that the purpose of sponsership? Unless they were friends or others who simply had a stake in the winnings
Marc McDowell: 267 Billy Young Jr: 175 Marc McDowell: 214 Norm Duke: 205 Marc McDowell: 241 John Mazza: 210 Butch Soper: 220 Marc McDowell: 192 Soper Wins!
Commercials on the video are worlds better than social media ads these days. Nostalgic and after 12am like sleeping pills lol

@@bengrimm1222 the center.
@@bengrimm1222 just like the one at the old fremont family bowl
Butch Fckn Soper! Probably the greatest character the PBA has ever seen. Love that guy....scrappy as hell.

These were the survivors of this tournament, these bowlers wer the ones that could adjust to the lane conditions!
Wooooah dude, you might make the universe explode with revelations like that
Ah, the pearl red hammer. I won a lot of tourneys with the ball when I was in high school.
47:25 unbelievable!
8:42: Hooking a Blue Dot!

Is the camera man 👡 all I saw was Billy youngs form never his ball motion
the camera man should have been fired on the spot what a terrible job.
Word is that nobody beats a deal at Lancaster Dodge!
Interesting to see plastic, love it. Oh and who ever is controlling the cameras needs to be fired
2 blue dots and a red pearl hammer, and Butch throwing a blue hammer. Just like when he won at Alameda on fried and he used a Gold Angle.
Tried watching but when the camera stays on the guy posing after his shot and you don't even see the ball going down lane....enough.
20:35
Probably would've made the big 4
Dawn Soper was absolutely smoking hot!
Blue Dot good ball
Shows how little oil there was on the outside... pretty cool to see a plastic ball hook
Loved the Blue Dot. Shot 300 with one on a scorched condition in a military bowling center in Incirlik, Turkey.
Still carry a blue dot as my spare ball, shot 266 on the burn a few weeks ago.
I can't remember a blue dot hooking that much ever. Old Earl was skimping on the dressing...
This was an excellent finals, some exceptions but for the most part good adjustments.
just wow. The camera work on this video is just as bad as having to listen to durbin's drivel
somebody PLEASE put duct tape on durbin's mouth to SHUT HIM UP. Thank GOD he does not commentate on games anymore.
Chris Forry is a ball-drilling WIZARD.
Norm the man, all 130 lbs of him. L
TOO MUCH GAB!!!!
