i could never do that on TV. i got the front 7 and like 30 ppl gathered, i got nervous and fucked up. imagine that only in front of millions of viewers. nerves of steel
thats the key to it. ive blown about 5-6 300 games in the 10th frame because i got too excited or rushed myself. concentration and no emotion until the job is done is so important.
When I bowled my 300, I bowled against The Blind, so I had very little pressure. But my teammates, and my family and friends that bowl in the league were there too. I felt a lot of pressure, but not much since there wasn't much of a crowd.
@GriffinMcCarley I shot a 96 the very first and only time I played a round of golf. Yes it was 18 holes. Let's just say, I like bowling and you like golf. nuf said.
That guy is amazing! It's interesting how dramatically different the two top holes are. Is that a usual thing with pro bowlers? I wouldn't know, cause I only played for about a few years. My best is 201. He looks like he has a perfect line.
I bowled a perfect series. It was 3 games together as one and got 36 strikes in a row for 900 points! A strike for every frame for 3 games in a row without missing one in real bowling with no bumpers.. Try to beat that.

He was using a gold Rhino Pro which was one of the top resin balls of 1994. I remember wanting one so badly when I was 9.
Was VERY HAPPY for Butchie! Thanks for posting...
RIP Don Glover
My BEST game was 296 in 1996.
11 in a row ... one more to go.
I guess I choked ... got sooo NERVOUS.
Blew my chance on that beautiful 300 ABC ring.
WRW Jr. made $4M emulating this shot.
Nobody rolls that Gold Rhino like ol' Soapy. Greatest televised 300 of all time.
Butch Soper had the best hair ever in the PBA.

i agree ... less time you think about a shot, the less time you get to OVERTHINK a shot...

The technology has changed greatly from then to now, the ball makes the difference.
Those pins were going down no matter where he hit on the head pin and or lane movement, sick.
Respect. I wish I could do that. Bowl a perfect game, and then receive a 10,000$ check right afterwards..... Perfect day I'd say.
Good combination of both, I'd say.
IT'S OVER 9000
@terryfez He was playing against Bob Benoit in this match. Benoit himself had a 300 game on television in 1988.
My god, he sounds and looks just like Michael J. Fox with a beard! :D Excellent shooting!
@GriffinMcCarley I shot a 96 the very first and only time I played a round of golf. Yes it was 18 holes.

Wow, did he have pull area. He pulled around 4 shots and they held.
man, i wish i can bowl like that
yeah sure they did they added a squishy noises that were all ready there
"I don't have time to get to the gym so i have to sculpt my guns in the office..."
"I don't know if you heard me counting, but I did over 1000"
lmao at the end: "got some gambling money!"
Did they add the squishy noises? haha
you have to realize that some people cant shoot spares, and every spare you miss is at least 11 pins lost
Its because its a spare ball he's using.
@GriffinMcCarley So much more a sport than golf.
that man can roll a ball lol
I use a size 14 Rhino and i get a few strikes like 6 every game only a beginner and it is really good spin ball.
Throws the ball: POP!!!
the dude at the end is so much taller than butch lol
htcoolio, bowling is a sport !
That guy is amazing! It's interesting how dramatically different the two top holes are. Is that a usual thing with pro bowlers? I wouldn't know, cause I only played for about a few years. My best is 201. He looks like he has a perfect line.
I bet he gets alot of blisters with how tight his thumb hole is!
@TheMusicjuice he probly bowls right and relaxes his thumb like he is supposed to..
were there really 11 300 games bowled in a week?
dam, well 12 if you count his
Just noticed this myself :D
Nice.
I wonder what the lane condition was? If it was a sport pattern, it must have been Cheetah.
wow!
Badass
but thats cause you can spare shoot. try throwing 5 strikes and miss every spare. you might bowl a 180 if you are lucky.
I can't tell exactly but i think that is a gold rhino pro
ha thats my best game too.
Always liked Butch. Not in Tustin anymore, from what I understand.
Lake Havasu City, AZ
Dana Danarosana Thank you. I'll have to look him up.
1 minute in...Is that Jerry Seinfeld in the purple on the right? lulz
Roy Munson

haha i read this comment before i saw what you where talkin about
WTF are you talking about? It's league play! They alternate lanes.
Is butch still alive?
Either he is really short or that reporter is super tall
Same for me.
he bowls just like me i just dont have the 3 finger roll down perfect yet so i just fingertip it with no thumb
:49 Walter Sobchak top right
1:00 Jerry Seinfeld far right

dude, this is a video about bowling... what else are you going to comment on? leave him alone!
:49 Walter Sobchak top right
If you can go on forever it pretty much means anyone can do it =|
omfg
Apotless 300
he's 5'6" i guess he had to resort to bowling
I'd hit the 7 pin...lol
Was he playing on his own?
must of been the moustache

@KishKiai NO THIS IS SPARTA!
I bowled a perfect series. It was 3 games together as one and got 36 strikes in a row for 900 points! A strike for every frame for 3 games in a row without missing one in real bowling with no bumpers.. Try to beat that.
