I love when you see opponents react the same as if they had a bad split in a clutch moment. They understand the pain. Even casual players feel the pressure. It hurts.
One thing about Del Ballard Jr at 5:30. I watched that shot on TV. Next week, he was again bowling for the championship and needed just a few pins in the 10th to lock up the championship. He turns to the crowd and says "Guess where this one's going. Straight down the middle." And that was exactly how he threw it. Straight and hard and right at the head pin for the win. He learned his lesson.
Thats screwed up. I mean I have a 205 average. But never seen a pin slide over and stand and I've bowled a lot of games. I have seen a pin flip in the air and land standing up thou
3:26 as a mechanic at a bowling alley I always tell people it’s that damn deck spray 😂😂. (Deck spray makes the pins stick to the floor better so pins don’t fall so easy) it
My (drunk af) dad was there somewhere bottom right corner lmao, said that nobody would get in the elevator w Walter Ray after he lost cause he was so irate
@@taywoodz after that I can totally see why but that comment by Randy was seriously messed up but at the same time I'm not going to lie pretty funny LOL
Mika Koivuniemi missing the 10-pin at the 68th US Open still hurts to watch. I was happy to see Norm Duke win again, but I was also heartbroken for Major Mika. This was his best season, and that pesky 10-pin screwed him over for a second time (the first was at the 2011 Tournament of Champions just a month or two before this one, where he got robbed of a perfect game in a _major_ during the semifinal match against Tom Daugherty’s 100 game). He still got 2011 PBA Player of the Year, though.
If y’all thought that eighth in becoming a seven pin was bad you should’ve seen what happened at the bowling alley I work at. I am a mechanic and I was just clocking out win from the front desk I see someone hit high on the headpin the three pin kicks off the sideboard and slide the six pin all the way over to the seven spot. The seven pin was already knocked over so the six just took residence. These were on Brunswick fiber decks and we have seen plenty of out of ranges because of the slippery ass decks. I must tell you though the six becoming the seven pin is the craziest shit I’ve ever seen.
I asked my high school bowling coach one day during practice. What does it take to bowl well? Skill or luck? His answer: BOTH. You can hit the pocket 500 times in a row. But, you will not have 500 strikes.
Putting spin on the ball helps it maintain course and not get deflected too much as it rolls through the pins. Sorta like how a golfer puts spin on a shot to counter a strong wind.
@@tegusnakegaming1441 You would be welcome to see our team in action Chris. (I'm Captain of 'Wessex Plus' Div 3 Yeovil Sports Skittle League) I'm not too sure of our average age, but we're certainly not children.
@@tegusnakegaming1441 Nine pin Chris. ruclips.net/video/YdFeFKlnBDw/видео.html Take a look at that video - it's not our league btw. It does generally involve drinking a lot of beer, but once on the alley it can get serious!
5:40 I have to admit... even crankers and high release players aren't guaranteed to strike or even hit their target every time. Watching this segment confirms that. It's kind of a waste of energy to backswing so high, IMHO. You can get good speed and good rotation if you aim better, find your target board, and don't emphasize so frickin' high of a release. If it's your style, then more power to you. Ugh... crankers. I respect your ability, but it doesn't always guarantee you'll hit that pocket.
Sad news in bowling. The bowlers union is very upset that they aren't getting enough money for tournaments. They are very mad. I heard that there's going to be a strike. Do you think the bowlers will strike?
I still can't deal with watching two handed bowling. Ugh... it's legal by PBA standards but it's just... weird.... Never thought I'd see bowlers needing two hands to get extra rotation. Take a cranker who can rock that ball's rotation and speed with one hand. THAT is what I'm used to seeing. It works, though, for Belmonte and Troup and they are smashing PBA tours with their delivery and release using two hands. I'm old school. 25 year+ bowler. Times are a changin'.
I remember the Randy Peterson robbery. Ernie Schagle is the guy running around. It was here in my hometown of Pittsburgh and they had the tournament at my home lanes. (The Tv finals were somewhere else) I know Ernie was happy because he wasn't supposed to compete let alone win the whole tournament but his celebration over an unlucky shot was a bit over the top.

5:58 "Oh my god that's a loser!" that got a good laugh out of me. dang man that's bit harsh don't you think?
That was the best part of the vid lol 😂😂 I've never heard ANYONE say that!
I think Randy rather meant it as a "category" of the throw, similar to winner in tennis, not that WRW is a loser
@@151bar151 yeah, but it's funnier if you don't think of the way he actually meant it.
3:03 I don't think I've ever seen Norm throw it that hard, he put so much into that
I haven’t bowled for years but you still feel the adrenalin and disappointment just watching these. Great compilation.
2:30 is easily one of the most iconic moments in PBA history by far and is ridiculous
These are literally perfect shots being denied by unluckiness.
Stone 8 pins are bad breaks. Stone 9 pins (for a righthander) are bad shots.
@@rowlffffff They are? I thought stone 9s were just the result of the ball hitting the pins at too sharp of an angle. Or am I remember that wrong?
Kenneth Miner Was it because of this video or did you already know that Tom said that to Randy?
Nah most theyre hitting too much head pin or not enough the pretty bad shots ngl
Kenneth Miner uhm yea its hitting too much at the wrong angle
2:33 That's one of the rarest thing I've ever seen.
I would have been ready to fight that 8 pin
Thats screwed up. I mean I have a 205 average. But never seen a pin slide over and stand and I've bowled a lot of games. I have seen a pin flip in the air and land standing up thou
I had once 2 pins move and they went into the machine like nothim happened...
@@ryanscheatzle5904 I don't know what's more impressive, seeing a pin fly and land perfectly or NOT seeing a pin slide after all your career
I once had a 7 pin slide all the way over to the 9 pin.
2:33 When you answered all the questions on the front side
2:37 There's more on the back
YOU KIDDING ME
I didn't know I need to see this but I'm really glad someone took the time to put it together. Thanks a lot!
2:24 "that was all the stone 8/9 clips I could find"
Next clip: solid 8
7.5 pin actually 😂
Gbowl_300X I mean to be fair it wasn't a solid &
It was a sliding 8 LOL

That was was one of the worst breaks ever in Obama’s history
3:26 as a mechanic at a bowling alley I always tell people it’s that damn deck spray 😂😂. (Deck spray makes the pins stick to the floor better so pins don’t fall so easy) it
Deck spray is for lazy lane maintenance folks who don't wash down the pin deck....

It is still painful to watch for me as well. I felt so bad for him when I saw it the first time.
I am a bowler myself and I had days like that sometimes lol! :) regardless I love bowling a lot! I bowl for both Womens league and Special Olympics!
Of course! There are bad days but it's the good ones that we live for and fight the bad ones for!

Tom Daughtery during the PBA League calling out to Randy was hilarious. XD
*OMG THAT'S A LOSER* 🤣🤣🤣
Norm Duke: leaves solid 8
Also Norm Duke: *sniffles aggressively*
I can feel these solid 8's and 9's like a punch in the ball bag.
1:52 Tom: That was for you, Randy! They said i couldn't do it again! 😎😎
Randy: Someone call the medic! I cannot take any solid eight! 😂😂
0:16
I know nothing about bowling, but this edit is amazing lol
2:28 that hurts
Yeah, especially how close the 8 pin was to falling...
And also how he was trying desperately to get back into the match
That was pure qm
@ 5:32 every time I watch this tears shoot out. I can relate.
Lol been there done that in league.
"Call a medic, I can't take any more solid eights."

Just shows us that even the professionals are human just like us amateurs!

Solid 9

Thumbnail change POGGERS. Also, 3k more subs 'til 20k!!

@@Bowling_Planet do you remember it at 29k?
These are very entertaining to watch! Make more
Of course I will!
I have seen a rare 2-6-8-10 split by a few bowlers. A 2-8-10 split is common. It does happen for a 2-6-8-10 split and converting a spare is very slim.
Me: oh yay I got a 9!
Pro bowler: *_confused screaming_*
Is this what my life has now come too, watching bowling videos..
Who said that was a bad thing? 😄
Great new thumbnail
2:04 how the he’ll do you curve like that
First probably a really aggressive ball. Then starting way left, aim center and putting enough spin on it.
Mainly the type of ball and oil patterns, and of course form lol
5:40
Forrest Gump: "And just like that...Joe Ciccone stopped laughing."
0:18 the bad break we still have to hear about 20+ years later...

At 5:17, Page did knock down a 2-5-6-8 pins but leave a 1-3-4-7-9-10 pins standing.
3:40 duke wasnt happy about that
But Norm is always a gentleman.
Am i the only one who heard someone say "ah!" When he threw it?
That was Duke 😂
@@Bowling_Planet Ohhhh...im so stupid 😂
5:58 "OH MY GOD, THAT'S A LOSER! HE JUST LOST THE TOURNAMENT!"
Me: *dead on the floor from laughter*
Thanks for the heart, mate.
Are there any bowlers that actually just bowl straight without spinning ? Or is spinning just an easier way to get strikes like the technique ?
Putting spin on the ball helps it maintain course and not get deflected too much as it rolls through the pins.
Sorta like how a golfer puts spin on a shot to counter a strong wind.
4:26 Belmo converted that same leave in the 10th today to win the U.S open :p
I just had a stone 8 yesterday. Give video one million views.
2:33 When the teacher gives us more homework to do over the weekend.
More like 4:11 xD
3:10 is the fastest I’ve ever seen Norm throw a ball
Right? 😂
I’ve had the 5 pin slide over to the 7 spot and stand, and end a streak at 6 strikes in a row.

The hell is a Stay of Execution?
@@NateCraven318 Postponing (and *maybe* calling off altogether) the execution because some new info has come to light that could break open the case.
Stone 8’s makes me doubt what a strike is anymore.
I remember one video of someone getting a strike only for one of the pins to stand right back up.
The FEELS...
3:18 “WHAT???” Lol😂🤣
We play league skittles in Great Britain and a 'flopper' (what you call a 'strike') is a rare beast!

the 8 to 7 after all the solids, wow.
I can honestly say I've never seen a pro leave 1-3-4-7-9-10 before.

Is it possible to get every pin except the front one?
It's hard, but yes it is possible

you can’t risk changing your form like that, you’ll go out of rhythm and therefore have worse aim

My last league I’ve been always having nine pins in. It drove me crazy.
Yeah, I'm sure it would take a while to go through some of the other videos I sent to find the stone 8s lol
2:05 What's this? Bob Ross is bowling now? Guess the whole painting bit got old.
there is a particular signification when de 8 or 9 pin stay up ? like it is uncommon ?

1:53 I love the Atom Splitter Dexter shirts with the chemical makeups
Anyone can say that one pin is glued
On the bright side. As a righty, the 8 is easier to convert than the 10. 😂
If a pin goes to the position of another pin it should still count as a strike, you hit all the pins significantly out of place
