Am I the only one who enjoys PBA50 events more than regular PBA events? Love to see how accurate the players need to be when they don’t have a ton of revs and ball speed.

[@peterschmidt8287]

I agree with you, watching these bowlers is more conducive to my game. I’m 87 throwing 17mph with approx 350 revs.

[@zedsodead]

Agreed. Seeing Barnes and Mika on the same show brings back all their old battles when the loser had to dye his hair and wear a shirt designed by the other.😂 I get really bored watching children throw the ball with two hands. Half the time they don't even hit the pocket and still strike because they spin it fast. It's boring quite honestly.

[@DS-qz2gu]

@@zedsodead I’m with you on most of that but just want to say that my comment wasn’t a diss on two-handers. I’m a young one-hander with unimpressive revs and I don’t mind two-handers at all. I think today’s game naturally just favors power bowlers, so it is what it is. I could switch if I wanted to, but I don’t, so I can’t really complain when someone carries better than me, lol.

Man this is like nostalgia this is like PBA 2005

[@Ironfangzu]

It's so great seeing Major Mika throwing it exactly like he used to. His ball has the same speed, he still has that same loft, and his ball still destroys the pins like it's something personal. I watch him bowl and almost think that he could still compete on the regular tour. Chris Barnes looks fantastic too. You are right, this was like prime time PBA 2005.

Oh yeah, now I remember why no one should read the comments first!

Happy to see Barnes win. Always been my favorite bowler, met him back in 2015. Great guy and classy, well earned Chris!

[@bowlnow824]

Love these uploads. Watching it on Bowltv is really cool as well. Everyoen should try it one time.

[@BowlerScott]

I honestly think Chris Barnes is top 5 all time. Kudos to Tony, great show.

[@zedsodead]

Mika "I am lefty killer." One of the better bowling quotes.

[@foxwolf316]

hope their is footage of the mixed doubles in 2024 that will be uploaded soon.

[@zedsodead]

C'mon Norm Duke and Patrick Allen, get back on tour. This is phenomenal! Who else needs to un-retire?

[@andrewphillips2179]

PbaBowling, That was an awesome upload of the Stepladder Finals of the Pba50 Del Ballard Championship. Also, There were fantastic finishes in the 2nd, and Semi Final Matches.

I was rooting for JerkinMyGerkin

[@andrewphillips2179]

The Del Ballard Pattern is one of the best Patterns on the Pba50 Tour.

[@Jason_P]

STOP SAYING URETHANE CARRIES OIL DOWN MORE THAN REACTIVE. These people are supposed to be experts but there absolutely clueless.

[@irespectallwood]

Do you know something everyone else doesnt?

[@EirTheGhost]

It's more urethane pushes the oil while reactive picks up the oil.

[@Monk-Amani.]

Lessons learned.
Great telecast!
