Hey hey Jack! Awesome to have this randomly pop up in my RUclips (bowling algorithm!) Good to see you're still destroying those pins! Miss bowling with you and guys on fridays at Classic. Greetings from Ross (now in Portland)
@@AnnLippert1 oh I don't post really I just read...I'm glad you can delete them. I didn't know that was possible. I've bowled most of my life and getting back into it now. I sure would love to be that consistent or even able to bowl in my older years...which I'm getting close to now. I sure feel the pain at times. Kudos to all he is able to do still!
Great story. I bowl in a senior league. I used to average 215 and have shot 300/298/289/289 and some tournament stuff in the 2000's. Am 67 years old. This gentleman at 90 still has great form and follow-through. Thats rare. I had a hip replacement and inguinal hernia repair and was out 2-3 years. I am back and up near 200 average. BUT the best part are the people I bowl with. OLD PEOPLE I am bowling with OLD PEOPLE. Then I think about it and I am now one of those old people. Its a blast! Been bowling off and on since 1968. Its a great way to keep going strong.
Jack. God Bless you.🙏 You Look Great for 90. It gives us younger guys hope to make a comeback in Bowling. Some of us had to shelve the equipment due to financial or other reasons, but we still Love to Bowl and when I get my union pension, I want to get back to League bowling for Sure. Great accomplishment Sir.👌👌👍👍
Congratulations Man on your 300 you will do it again the first one is always the hardest 12 gets take it from me I've bold 6 in my life and I'm 35 years old almost 36 this year I bought my first woman of 21
you would think!?! he must be lucky. he eats cookies with his coffee every day. eats red meat and has a Gin and Squirt a few times a week too! However, he DOES go to the GYM!
A sanctioned event like a league or tournament means that the 300 would go in the USBC records because there is guaranteed to be witnesses to verify that it happened and the player didn’t cheat. Non-sanctioned 300’s by USBC policy don’t get recorded because there aren’t the systems in place to prove its legitimate. Unfortunately for him, his 300 won’t officially exist, but its still very impressive and I’m glad he could pull it off
@@williamhrivnak7345 I bowled under ABC jurisdiction for over 20 years back when honor scores were harder to come by because the lane conditions were more difficult and the ball technology wasn't there. Back then if you rolled an honor score you got a ring. Now it's one and done no matter how many you roll because I doubt that the sanctioning body could afford the hardware. While I congratulate today's bowlers for their consistency the rewards on the lanes are getting out of hand.
I bowled a ( non- Sanctioned 300) during pot games at a Bowling center in the Bronx, NYC back in 1998. Although it was not sanctioned, a buddy of mine was keeping score, and gave me the Scoresheet after we ended the pot games. I still cherish those 12 Strikes, because I know I did it. I would have preferred it be sanctioned. The center had Real Wood alleys and no computerized scoring!! Number [2] Pencil and a Large Sheet of Genuine Paper.lol.😅😅🤣🤣
@@ripvanrevs It was harder in the 50's & 60's but not 100×'s harder!!! Ball technology, better oil, and better Lanes do factor in to higher scoring. One thing we must remember is that whether scoring becomes easier or harder, every bowler still has to come through in the clutch!!! The highest score wins, and whether 164 wins or 299 wins, it is still a [ W ]
Good for him. But as for me. A professional candlepin bowler,try the New England version of bowling. Candlepin, found in New England, and Eastern Canada, has never had a perfect game. Try it.
@@AnnLippert1 He probably does have some genetic advantages. I was wondering how close he eats to the blue zones around the world. Blue berries and cereal is very similar to the trends you see in those locations. What about tea, coffee, chocolate, cinnamon, eggs, vitamin supplements, vegetable intake and beans? I personally like to review research for nutrition and aging, and he looks about 10 years younger than anyone else I ever saw that was 90. He looks like he could be anywhere from late 50's to early 70's. I am going to see if what research show any effect from blueberry polyphenols and cereal grain fiber on gut bacteria and short chain fatty acid production.
@@Polarcupcheck Even though certain diets and foods may come into play, also consider that he was happy all throughout his life, may not smoke much (if at all), did not drink much and did not let things stressed him out much. Also exercise come into play also to slow down aging.
That's so great! I shot my first sanctioned 300 last year at 72 and just got my second one last week at 73.
Thats fantastic Jim!! Very cool. congrats

This man does not look over 70. Wow!
Nicest guy you could ever meet. Had the please to bowl with him for a couple years. Congratulations Jack!
All these haters. The man is 90! Give him his props. People 30+ years younger cannot even handle bowling 1 game. Great bowling Jack!
Lucky for me its my channel and i posted the video. Haters (trolls) gonna hate and i can delete them. * boink! *

I recognize the name Gregg Zicha.
Fun Fact: Two handers can bowl one handed, it's just not their preferred way to bowl. Plus, two handed is one handed in reality.
I would have never guessed he was 90. Wishing him many more years and 300 games.
Jesus if I can just live to 90 I'd be happy lol that guy has some amazing genetics and probably lived a good lifestyle too.

That’s amazing! Holy sheet!
This has to be a record for his age? Chart his DNA. If this guy is 90 then he's found the fountain of youth.
you would think!?! he must be lucky. he eats cookies with his coffee every day. eats red meat and has a Gin and Squirt a few times a week too! However, he DOES go to the GYM!
Dang! I wish it was league! Congratulations!
Everyone ask me if I lift weights, I tell them I play Cornhole and Bowl...Lol
awesome haha
Congrats Jack ,from Skip Pearson
i told him!! He said Hi Skip!!
Great !
If I can still bowl at 70 I'll be happy. Good for him. That's fantastic.
Nice!! 😁 closest I ever got was 288 when I was 19!
Me too, except I was 18. Spare in the 1st, then 10 in a row, so no pressure for the 300. :)
Let's start do bowling!
Zen ball good
After seeing some of the scores I've been seeing of late what does a sanction prove?

It's 60-100 times easier to bowl a 300 than it was in the late 1960s.

I'll be 176 before I bowl a 300.
I'm still trying to break 200. My high is 188.
I do have 2 sanctioned 300 games and 2 more not sactioned games
i refuse to believe that yall didnt click on this video because of the thumbnail
hahah Good one. Never thought of that.
Bob Learn Jr. is MR. 300
I'm sure you are correct. Do you have a video link you can share?
he raised his hand up cause he threw the ball
Good for him. But as for me. A professional candlepin bowler,try the New England version of bowling. Candlepin, found in New England, and Eastern Canada, has never had a perfect game. Try it.
Can't say I've ever seen candlepin bowling. but I do KNOW of it. wow! never a perfect game? no one?
That dress is to tight
Baby got back. 😀
I SHOT MY FIRST 300 AT 26
Ok? That’s not that cool 🙄
@@chinanumberone7723 YES IT IS YOU COULDNT DO IT
I want to see that guy's blood work. Ninety? What does he eat?
i can tell you. He eats blueberries and cereal every morning. Then it's just regular food. Yes, including junk food. He just has good DNA.?
