Huh. Thought this was going to be televised

[@Steve.Orland]

Ben 1014 you would think that...

[@TraumaER]

I think PBA is on CBS Sports now - a network you need to pay extra for despite getting a Sports package or Extreme package from Verizon.

[@douglasharris5216]

Ben1014 it was on television, Flobowling

[@jaysal6133]

It's really sad how the budget for bowling has gone down so much. I truly hope it doesn't completely die out Bc I love bowling. Thought this would be on tv for sure.

[@christopherdunne7848]

I remember when PBA was on network TV, garnering consistently high ratings. But then again, I also remember when baseball was the #1 sport in the USA. Sigh.

[@mathman80]

It's sadly the same with 5-pin bowling in Canada which used to be on tv in the 90s and even 2000s. Not anymore.

[@douglasharris5216]

jay sal it was on television if you have Flobowling, when they moved bowling to ESPN they almost killed the sport

[@calipayflorante]

nice uploads guys...

[@jacewelsh8537]

Oops Chris Barnes leaked a new ebi ball. I think it’s a hammer. I know it’s called web or web tour. Thanks Chris.

[@curtisgarcia6907]

The scoring is slow to be updated. Very unprofessional.

[@douglasharris5216]

Curtis Garcia they could score by hand faster and it would be easier to read

[@anthonymusselwhite8770]

Yes what is tang using to clean with?

[@명가돼지갈비]

Anderson 마지막프레임에 아쉽게7개가 나와서 퍼팩트정말로 섭섭하게 못쳐버렸구나ㅠㅠ

[@abhuda69]

[@cameronmorgan0203]

Damn 2 "8" pins for Kris Prather. Ain't that a ****

[@marharr41]

Glad to have Lucas Wiseman back. I thought commentary from him and Chris was very good. Production quality pretty weak. Scoring display painfully frustrating.

[@douglasharris5216]

marharr41 myself I find Barnes voice monotone and boring.

[@alexformosa]

59:17 Hello Kyle Troup. (Background waving lol)

[@arthurguillaume5977]

What's up with the scoring?

[@douglasharris5216]

Arthur Guillaume Flobowling always uses that scoring system, I think they’d be better off doing it by hand

[@GraduatedIn]

I was hoping tackett would be back for this with the primal rage.

[@cameronmorgan0203]

That was a weird ass 4-10 11:47 for my guy TJ!!!!

[@jnje108]

what was darren tang using to wipe the oil off his ball?

[@HydraliskX]

The world's smallest towel.

[@phillip357]

What’s with the late score keeping? How much are people paying for this again?

[@douglasharris5216]

PanKakes how much does one pay for scorekeeping or how much is the subscription price for Flobowling for one year?

[@Fluffyguy958]

Can you guys ban the commenters that keep spoiling the video?

[@EvelcyclopS]

Massive audience.

[@jaysal6133]

A. All 12 of them.

[@douglasharris5216]

A. Most of Flobowling events are during the daytime during the week, makes it hard for spectators to make the show

[@aenima1_]

What is Tang using to clean the oil off his ball?

[@andrewphillips2179]

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

[@Eikmannn]

yeah,missing the telecast on ESPN too.Looks very poor at the moment....liked the beginning of WSOB,couple of years ago...it's a shame. But,congratulation to the winner.

[@douglasharris5216]

Eikman 81 I like the telecasts on Fox better, we don’t receive ESPN so I’ve not been able to watch these events live. It’s a money thing, $80-100 a month for cable is $10,000 in ten years, I can afford the $24 for annual Flobowling subscription

[@CryAboutHEAT]

Jonah Hill, is that you? Lol

[@americaparts13]

whats the songs name on the beginning hotttttttttttttttttt

[@fabptitpom]

What the hell is this? It looks like an amateur tournament, camera angles are ridiculous, commentators are ridiculous, the bowling alley looks empty, what happened to the PBA tour this fall swing?

[@douglasharris5216]

fabptitpom this is Flobowling, they do not have the money to produce a high quality stream because it’s all based on subscriptions with no commercials. It’s still competitive bowling and the money and titles are the same. Most PBA50 events are on Flobowling

[@zadeee100]

At this point prodigy bowlers has better quality

[@alanlam6483]

Cool

[@Osborne4Life]

I feel bad for Andrew. Missed the last shot for a 300 for a $1,000 bonus, and then lost the final.

[@Kmadams_97]

Used to be $10,000 just a year or 2 ago.

[@Osborne4Life]

Actually, I believe it was just $100. $10,000 is for a television 300.

[@douglasharris5216]

StarryAqua this was a televised event, the difference is there is no commercial support for the extra money in these subscription only events.

[@aydengeist9209]

*Suddenly a tornado hits the bowling alley*

[@emeralddragon3143]

59:16 Hi Kyle

[@andrewphillips2179]

Anthony Simonsen threw a clutch strike to win the Wolf open

[@mikethomas6633]

What's the difference between the first strike and the twelfth? Nothing.

[@_na_lyd]

Mike Thomas Each strike is different. The pins react differently to the ball which is released differently on a different board each time.

[@jacewelsh8537]

Ok. Tell me the difference when you have a chance to get 300 lol. You average 120 with a high game of 175 I’m guessing.

[@StakMusikLI]

Jesus Christ I love my Halo! 😇

[@guitarzan5328]

Yeesh, so much bitching about the commentary here... if you don't like it then turn off the sound 😕 I for one like to listen to Chris Barnes. He is a real technician of the sport and I find his pinpoints about the game and its equipment quite informative. Learn something new everyday.

[@SuperBorg1]

My last tournament I bowled in urethane balls ruined the shot. I qualified 6 with reactive resin balls. Pro Bowlers should be able to adjust to reactive resin on any pattern.

[@andrewphillips2179]

Andrew Anderson almost shot 300 in the semi final match

[@01SilveradoLT]

Wow a bowling finals not in a stupid arena with people on both sides....Reminds me of the old telecasts, and the way it should be. I've lost all interest in watching since the arena thing and the 2 handed bowlers. Maybe things will go back before all is lost? Remember the old telecasts on ABC with Bo Burton and Chris Shinkle(sp)? Been checking out a few of the PBA50 shows on youtube. I like seeing those guys because they were my bowling "hero's" back in the day.

[@joegarcia1193]

Times change what you grew up with is not the same as what bowling is today.

[@Pinoystriker]

01SilveradoLT stop watching then

[@jaysal6133]

The fact that this show is shot like a home movie should tell you all you need to know.

[@jordanstogner172]

ahh yesn the classic "triggered by 2 handers that are better than you"

[@jaysal6133]

No thumb has been a thing since the 90s or maybe even late 80s so idk why everyone worries about that I think it's dying Bc a lot of people use crazy hook balls on easy shots on non wood lanes and it got too easy. Now people aren't satisfied with anything less that an 800 in league. so there's been a decline in playing in leagues etc Bc it's become too easy . That's where a lot of money came from. Personally I'd rather play more challenging shots to become a better player, but oh well

[@Jeon1958able]

Most anticlimactic 297.

[@curtishitech6985]

I wish the commentators would STFU and let us hear and watch them bowl. This is not radio guys!!!

[@Zao911]

Urethane is so cookie cuttingly boring to watch, really hurts the entertainment value in my opinion

[@big9305]

Not if you're scoring good, I think urethane when used correctly is magnificent to watch.

[@blargy7283]

I guess you dislike any footage pre-1990

[@blinkers88]

well fortunately they aren't bowling to entertain you

[@jaysal6133]

Urethane takes more skill to use and score high with. PBA looks like it's dying

[@blinkers88]

It's been dying for years now
