Lavoie is such an underrated bowler!

[@Ironfangzu]

Lavoie and Prather are the new monsters in disguise. They don't have super high rev rates or ball speed, but when the money is on the line, both of them seem to be able to reach down and make really great shots to grab the win. Simonson is usually incredible as well so it was a shock to see him throw that ball through the nose for a 4-count, basically ending the match. Everyone is great at this level, but I think Lavoie and Prather have a quality of calmness that serves them particularly well in these TV matches.

Lolz but we can all agree F two handers ha . Jk i just think its weird. Being removed from bowling and not seeing Belmo bowl before I started again. Made me kind of just look at two handers weird just because I never seen it . But then I saw it once and just couldn’t get away. I think it’s here to stay too. But yeah. Do what’s comfortable and repeatable. Lolz i look dumb ass F throwing two handEd 😑

U need Shotlink. U need a hand angle, ball speed, arm speed, rev rate. Plus shot tracer. Which they could do too. Without turning the lights out. If you need help let me know. A graphic that has all of that from the second it leaves their hand would be perfect.

[@annwatts7002]

Muscle memory is a great thing like Earl said. I started bowling at around 9 years old on an instructional league at Blue Crystal lanes on Bank st about a half mile from my house that was on poplar Pl off Stockbridge rd in Kalamazoo MI. Stockbridge rd crossed Bank St where Blue Crystal lanes bowling ally was. I was born on 6-19-1958 so when I was 9 yrs old it was 1967 in the summer on a summer league. I have always been in top physical condition even today 9-29-21. I enjoy bowling 30 games within 3 hours for the workout & to keep in shape. I'm like Earl said muscle memory. my high game is a 299. I KNOW I need to practice a lot more to get 300 games more often I hope oh wait at lest once any how heheheHA! I have bowled 33 games within 3 hours of Glow Ball that my highest amount of games within 3 hours. I have bowled 150 straight non stop games. I know of a few good bowlers in Kalamazoo MI: Charly Tapp, wes Gibson/dr hook & the guy with the most 300's in Kalamazoo & the surrounding area Dean Cardella he bowled a 300 when his team bowled my team at Hapo's lanes its the first live 300 I ever saw bowled oh yeah Randy Rawlson & his son Adam. Adam & Dave Clinginpeel bowled on my summer league or I mean we bowled on Clinginpeels team hes a 230 or 240 avg bowler. any how I like to bowl at continental lanes in the summer because all open bowling is FREE so in the summer I bowl 30 games daily I am 63 years old & enjoy it. I was sorry to hear Dr Hook died of lug cancer about 3 years ago, DAM! he use to drill my bowling balls I had 63 balls at that time then I sold them all & this year 2021 I did really good in the stock market & bought 30 new bowling balls heheheha! & got back into bowling again after a long streak of not bowling from 2007 to April of this year 2021. I am so glad Im still in top physicals condition even today 9-29-21 YEAH! I've had the front 8 so far, the back 7, back 5 a couple times with a high game of 249 on leauge & a high game of 256 on open. I probably bowled a thousand games this summer. when you bowl 30 games like that its your legs that you feel the most. I never feel it in my arms or hands, its your legs & I went 20 miles EVERY day on my peddle bike since 2014 because that's all I had & I slept outside every single day in a sleeping bag before I bought my truck on March 6th this year 2021. I slept outside & had to get up at 2am 7 days a week to go 2 miles to FedEx until I retired on 10-17-20. I'm am retired now & for the rest of my life. if you need a bowler: right now I'm about a 160 avg bowler. I bowled 570 this TU so it will go up a little. before I stopped bowling in 2007 I was a 180 to 190 bowler. if you need a bowler I can bowl any day or time I'm retired just let me know when & were. I live in my truck it wired with everything I need to live. its a 2002, Ford with a V10, black 4 wheel drive with 8' bed that has a box on the back with a door in the back. I'm 150lbs & 5'3.75 tall so I made the box on the 8' bed of my truck 5'5" tall so I can stand up & walk around without touching the ceiling . its nice with a 35 gallon gas tank. let me know when & were I'll come bowl. I made some nice money in the stock market the most I ever made in one year of working EVER by the end of April this year 2021 YEAH! let me know when & were to bowl on a team FULL time only I don't do subbing! I ONLY do every week league bowling. I will be there EVERY week with the cash! I DO NOT MISS days or nights. just respond to this comment thanks oh another guy I know because he use to bowl right next to me during the summer this year is Tom Youngblood in Kalamazoo MI. I think he said hes like 56 years old & wants to bowl on the senior tour. I'm a vary YOUNG 63 & in shape! my Name is Dann Watts I graduated a couple years ago in 1977 from Loy Norrix on Kilgore rd that was the HAPPEST day of my life getting out of school but then since I got paid to go I went to KVCC for 2.5 more years. school aint that bad when your paid to go.

45:30 “Messenger coming across would’ve made Chuck Norris jealous??? WaitWhat??🤔

[@LordMagnetron]

They commonly refer to the 7 Pin as the messenger, since it comes across the lane to send a "message" to the 9 or 10 Pin, knocking it over and allowing for a strike. The Chuck Norris reference was likely due to how the 7 Pin looked as it flew at the 10 Pin, as if the 7 Pin was roundhouse kicking the 10 Pin.

[@andrewphillips2179]

was that the first time that the 1 5 was made on the Pba Tour?

[@Ironfangzu]

Why would it be? It's rare to see a 1-5 spare leave, but to make it is child's play for pros at this level. They just throw their normal strike ball and it will pick up the 1-5. Although it takes a particularly bad shot to leave a 1-5, with today's very tricky oil patterns, it's not that uncommon to see even a top pro throw a ball out to the gutter that just won't come back, and you can leave that strange 1-5.
