1988 Columbia 300 Open

[@BaddogSports]

Columbia300 was my favorite line of bowling balls when I bowled. I had, at one time or another, a; Yellow Dot Beast Bud II Aftershock Kaboom Action Max (this is actually the last bowling ball I bought. Haven’t bowled in 15 years) Watching these makes me want to go bowling again. If I ever go back, I’ll probably buy a Ricochet Pearl lol

That news segment at 1:22:04 is great. That mural behind them is a wall of carpet. Still there to this day.

[@andrewphillips1011]

The first, second, and title matches were exciting and very close

[@BagelzNLockz]

Baker was amazing just couldn’t make a spare on tv. Gagged off a lot of titles. Still a great bowler.

Hard to believe that not once in 30 years did Dave Arnold think about changing his hair style.

[@Riz2336]

That is a very weird armswing Scott had

[@thomasmccarrick4169]

Kent Wagner: 186 (39-38) Mark Baker: 186 Dave Arnold: 218 Kent Wagner: 178 Dave Arnold: 258 Purvis Granger: 191 Scott Devers: 207 Dave Arnold: 185 Devers Wins!

[@andrewphillips1011]

Do you have the lpbt Tempe open from 1989?

[@andrewphillips1011]

Scott devers prevails when Dave Arnold left the 1 2 8 10 washout on his first shot in the tenth frame to win the Columbia 300 open

[@andrewphillips2179]

the 1st match was low scoring

[@1USACitizen192]

These kats barely can hook the ball compared to today's pros.

[@nukiepoo]

Yeah. The technology that ruined the game. Everybody thinks they can beat the pros these days. And, if you can’t throw the ball 19-20 mph, you might as well hang up your shoes; it’s a young mans game now.

[@1USACitizen192]

@@BrianGreenwood1352 Looks like lack of skills to me.

[@jordanwildey9439]

It doesn't have to hook much, the straighter the less room for error, however a big hook opens up the pocket more, they both have benefits

[@Igloo3471]

Impossible to know now but I'd love to know how many feet and volume that conditioner was. Looks to be very long with a pronounced OB and the pocket carry was abysmal even by older equipment standards. Wagner leaving a 1-5-7-9 and Arnold 5-10'ing off the pocket. Wow
