Candlepin Bowling - Tim Soucy vs. Tom Olszta

[@kylebertulli4435]

Thanks again for all you do

[@takeitzenman7894]

I put this on to watch. My wife sees it and say "Oh yeah, they have those tiny little balls." 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@kylebertulli4435]

Observation: Olszta slowed his ball down considerably in 90-91 and here, a year later, he was throwing a super fast ball again.

What is the ball speed for these high level players? I enjoy watching these matches, But I don't know this type of bowling very well (it's not available where I live).

[@kylebertulli4435]

@@blockcl pros in those days threw between 30 and 50 mph.

[@kylebertulli4435]

​@blockcl the fastest throwers I've seen are Joe Ashline and Lou Alberghini.

Thank you Wolfman, and thanks also to the Olszta family for providing this match ! :)

Ever notice how when Don says "Let's talk to today's bowlers" he always does 95% of the talking.

[@TheRealDannAlexander]

Not a bad thing. I felt he went out of his way to make everyone feel at ease and tries to keep focus on the game ahead, and what everyone will bring to it.

[@Pronzini1]

He is a lousy announcer. Talks too much, and is Captain Obvious

[@gingerbaker1]

Did Tommy ever make the high-low jackpot? I don't think he ever did?

[@karlschneider9479]

I've only seen that made once and you may be right I can't recall ever seeing him hit that.

[@markabraham2367]

A little surprised Tim's avg is 122 and only has a high of 175.

[@karlschneider9479]

I'd give anything for a 122 average and a high triple of 375!

[@markabraham2367]

@@karlschneider9479 I avg 110 and my high is 175 and triple is 402. Which is why I'm surprised his is 175.

[@OldDekrepitKegler]

I was 23 at the time, and was ending my 5th year in adult leagues. I had bowled in the juniot leagues years prior, but I had not really bowled the 5 years prior to joining the adult leagues. This was either my first or second year averaging over 120, and that was only because the house I was bowling out of had just replaced the side walls, and replaced the cushion back wall with properly distanced curtians. Brattleboro was a tough house, high triple in there was a 458.

[@markabraham2367]

@@OldDekrepitKegler I figured maybe there weren't many years behind it. That's usually the case

[@Zurround]

I knew Tom would win ahahahah.
