Worst Missed Spares!

[@PBALowlights]

That’s what I’m here for 🙌🏻

[@Mote78]

I thought the same but Belmo leaving the 9 on a 3 6 9, 10 spare wasn’t a terrible miss. That isn’t an easy spare to pick up.

[@GradyPhilpott]

@@Mote78 I agree. That's one of the most difficult no-split spares there is and what makes it worse is that it looks easy.

[@MrFS2004]

Mistakes is part of what makes us human. I’ve missed more spares than I can count. It’s just the way bowling is. We can’t be 100% all the time (If that makes sense)

Roche has one of the most uncomfortable deliveries I have ever seen in bowling..!!

I always laugh at Joe Ciccone air-mailing that ball after being so smug and trying to look cool on the approach. A little hubris goes a long way towards flattening a career. Every amateur knows you never take a spare for granted.

Crazy too how he never recovered. You could say that it was a career defining moment...as in, he never had one.

Used to bowl years ago, for many years. Always enjoyed watching the pros back in the day---Earl Anthony was the best, very smooth, down and in, just like a machine. Saw him in person on the tour when they came to town. Mark Roth, Marshall Holman. Sure miss those days.

[@eauhomme]

Saw Holman gutter twice in the same night live. I was stunned.

[@frootloops1696]

I feel bad for Roche. Wasnt at all ready and had many issues with his form and how he setup and threw the ball. I think personally, he didnt make too bad of shots its just lack of concentration. Really think if he had fixed his style, I think we wouldve seen a higher score and more of him on the tour.

Cause there humans, even the best bowler in the world are not perfect you may become a championship and the best bowler in the world but you will never master it and become invincible that's never going to happen. Everyday is different, every bowling alley is different and every lane is different everytime you go bowling. It's a up and down sport. Scores will never be perfect you'll understand what it's like when your a pro bowler and your bowling in front of the whole world you'll be nervous for your first time being on National Television it's not as easy as you think. When you're bowling on a very tough sport condition and the whole world is sitting there watching you in-person and from home through they're TV.
