STRRRRRIIIIKEEEEUUUUUHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[@CeilingF4n]

Holy crap, Tommy Jones was on fire! Props to Mika for being so classy. Such good sportsmanship. Crowd was also great. Thank you for posting these vids!

[@DiandraAsbaty]

@fenndrew Or google: international bowling championships 2012 bowling pattern dhc, then click on the first link and click on the last link that says "oiling patterns used" my link might not work.

[@lukebash323]

Jones really cranks the ball at the top of his swing, great release. Great bowlers, love them both

[@명가돼지갈비]

[@karlchristenson]

The whole sound of this video is like no other bowling vid I've seen...very cool to see these guys bowling in Japan.

[@BCBandofDistinction]

Dang, that Tommy Jones shot at 7:14 is just SICK. Thats truly 10 in the pit.

[@Migabyte747]

When are you going to upload the new one

[@yague123]

The sound when the ball goes down the lane is so awesome.

[@명가돼지갈비]

이야정말재미있구나

[@ポメロン-x1c]

随分古い映像なのに凄く鮮明なのはなぜ？オイラ何時もアメリカの映像ばかり見てるから解らなかったけど日本の技術が凄いって事なの？（２０１８）

[@GearWave]

cant help but think after Tommy wins and they show shots of the crowd the Japanese are saying to themselves "damn americans have won our tournament again"....lol

[@iwasadeum]

It's called a respectful culture...If you're sick in Japan, it is expected of you to try not to spread germs. In America, or really any other non-oriental country, people just couldn't care less if they make somebody else sick.

[@MrJPWR]

it's amazing to see how many americans are bowling over seas these days. more than ever. apparently the top stars in the states saw it coming and the PBA didn't act soon enough.

[@Damianpuckett]

@prankmaster24 it's just a tape I'm guessing he wears it for a little extra wrist support but doesn't want the full effect of the supports made from the factory.

[@DiandraAsbaty]

They are usually worn if you have a cold so you won't spread it around to others. Or if you have allergies as well. It's a cultural thing.

[@mzanesane]

Nice polo outfit T-shirt TJ was wearing wonder what the brand is and the ball he is using,,,anyone knows.. as usual TJ never seem fail to deliver.

[@pab7984]

What pound ball do pros use? Also, whats the secret to curving it in there like that. Its like a draw in golf I guess.

[@okayzimbabwe]

Hmm they're using the same ball...but what about spare balls? There're three balls on that rack for most of the match O__o

[@poseym316]

@jdurnhofer I looked it up, in 1988 Takeo Sakai won it. From 1989 on is when a PBA member has won every year since.

[@ceerocky]

are we suppose to keep track of the scores in our head? smh...

[@BowlerBeast]

Tommy Jones made this look easy. Glad to see him bowling great again

[@creativebowlingsolutions6909]

Tommy Jones has great control with his strong release.

[@munkeyman90]

@IABowling hahahaha i had to look at it twice to see what was wrong because it went so well =P

[@DiandraAsbaty]

@Doza418 He got close to $40,000.

[@iaknesnah79]

@choreandawg TJ used the same ball to take spare. he's been doing that for quite some time.

[@megasixsix]

I wonder if tommy and mike were saying while bowling "what the hell are you saying"

[@bkno03]

ミカの3フレ目のリセットが全てだった気がする・・・。でもトミーが強過ぎた(笑)失投が10フレの２投目だけだったし

[@AndrooKimsterrr]

thats not fair. tommy jones is just a beast.

[@nobe05]

Tommy jones is amazing

[@prankmaster23]

what does tommy use for a wrist brace? i cant seem to figure it out

[@DiandraAsbaty]

Link to Oil Pattern is now in the description of this video!

[@rusty1078]

[@jcbtrackbowler]

[@sully1429]

[@Doza418]

First off... thanks again and again for posting such vids. I'm sure I can speak for the rest of the bowleros out there that we look forward to your vids. Out of curiousity... what did Mika get besides flowers? :) $25,000???

[@9BigGeorge]

Tommy Jones is a beast!

[@MrYeowTan]

Cool : Both using the same ball mission 250k

[@ThatOkayGuy]

@choreandawg Tommy was using his strike ball for spares, just coming up the back of it to prevent any hook, Mika was using a Hammer Axe for his spares.

[@20alphabet]

Wonder if Tommy Jones has all his marbles. Doesn't look like he's all there to me.

[@paddieboi]

Mika needs 11 strikes from the start to beat Tommy. It was an awesome match! By the way, is there any links to the female finals?

[@cozmic171]

How do you say hambone in japanese.... ;)

[@CHarry524]

the ball sounds so weird going down lane

[@cupofjoelm]
