    Man, what a match! I'm a Belmo fan, no doubt about that, but how could you not be happy for Norm Duke after that match? To see how much this win meant to him, is priceless. I've watched him bowl for what seems like forever, and I will admit, I teared up when he dropped 8 pins in the 10th frame to win his 39th title. What a special moment for him and his fans! Congratulations Norm! You absolutely deserve it!

    DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!!! Talk about legends, Norm Duke will always be my favorite bowler and he will always be my inspiration to never give up! I have watched him bowl ever since I can remember watching TV as a little kid, and I've always wanted to be even half as good as him. I've practiced hard and have developed my throw almost exclusively around his, even going as far as throwing around the same mark as him (opposite though, since I'm left handed). Norm has always been my role model in sportsmanship, and performing well under pressure, and if I can even be half as good as he is, I'd be a lucky man. Great job Norm, you've earned it! I hope you get into the TV finals next time the PBA tour comes to Ohio so I can meet my favorite bowler of all time! Let's go for 40+ titles, Norm!! Last but not least, hats off to Belmo for a great game, and great job to Rhino, Wes, and Tom for making it to the TV finals and bowling their best!

    Great win for Norm.....got the honor of meeting him in San Antonio last year....he is just as classy in person as he is on tv. I was shedding a tear for him at the end . I think even Kimberly couldn’t keep it together at the the very end as she left very suddenly with a trembling voice. Keep it going Norm!

    Consider this. Norm Duke's been around long enough to have actually bowled against Earl Anthony on TV, which he did in the first match in the TV finals when he won for the first time all the way back in 1983. And as this upload proves, he's still winning.

  • @mariojordan6859
    @mariojordan6859 5 лет назад +2

    I used to bowl & I can honestly say that it was one of the best parts of my life.🎳 When I look back on it & see some old good friends I bowled with, I can't help but think if only I could turn back time & hit the lanes as an Jr bowler. But I still have love for the game & it's been so long yet I wanna throw a ball down a lane again.👍🎳👍🎳👍😎 Thanks for uploading this.

      Absolutely. With all the changes in the game during his career and going against much younger 2 handed power players, he somehow manages to adjust his game, not complain, and find a way to win. I admire his respect for other players. He’s a class act. I hope to watch him bowl in person soon.

Norm is an inspiration and a very sensitive human at the same time. I'm so happy for your win Norm, you were overdue.

      Norm Duke can easily hook the ball stanging over the left gutter cap, like pretty much any top pro can. He just chose to play the angle he did as a strategy. Norm doesn't have the power and revs of most of the top players today. But, man, can he execute under pressure. Maybe the smallest guy on the tour, but owns the biggest heart.

    • @TheCheerleaderKiller

  • @getreal6124
    @getreal6124 5 лет назад +1

    100% class all the way! He just beats the best in the world, keeps his emotions under wraps, CONVERTS a lousy break 4-9 and solid 9 to win...THEN first words out of his mouth is to pay major respect to Jason Belmonte? If Norm Duke were a company, people would have been rushing out to buy stock in him for those heartfelt words and that kind of stellar performance.
    The quote is "everybody loves a winner." Who does NOT love Norm just for his words to Jason? Made me tear up.
    This should go into every uber-serious bowling fans archives. It's in mine already.

    I could see the realization on Belmo's face in about the 6th frame - Belmo had to throw everything perfect to win the game. But he knew that the better he threw, the sharper Norm was getting, feeding off the tight competition. Does that make sense? Then the 7th frame, Belmo walked back from the line sort of flailing his arms, which is a body language of resignation and desperation. What else can he do at that point? He's throwing almost perfect, and Norm just never falters. An epic match, with two of my all-time favorite winners.

    175 Best out of 4 last night. just three days before I meet up with Dick Webber oil pattern. An epic practice session on a pro setup. I will practice on this until I can throw it perfect with the same hand position each time. Don't want anyone comparing my bowling with 31:00 using a chainsaw for surgery, LMAO!!!! I love the announce color team. They really make the game more interesting.
    Was waiting for the league to finish up at my lanes and one bowler got a 300. Everyone cheered him on, and he made a few more strikes on his next game, then started losing concentration and his hand started going astray, and his swing wasn't the same. He was at the front desk asking if he would get a trophy. It was his 3rrd 300 in league play, and he was only entitled to one trophy per lifetime. He was very discouraged, and took it out on his teammates by blowing the 3rd game completely. I heard him mention that the reason for a decline in bowling is the lack of trophies and recognition for bowling 300 on house-shot. He fully expected media coverage, and a band and all. I once thought that 300 was fantastic, but it only really counts in pro play where a million bucks is riding on it. I need to be the one to step up and get a 300 on demand on Dick Webber-shot oil in order to satisfy my inner urge to be the best of the best. Wouldn't it be great if Dave Lamont was praising my technique and style???
