Hi everyone! It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider supporting my channel here! www.buymeacoffee.com/bowlingplanet

[@aldoom4]

Great vid. Further proof that Norm Duke is/was an absolute monster.

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

Yep. When there is a tough condition out there, guys like ND who can play deep, make spares, and stay out of trouble dominate.

[@bhcamaro2002]

The match with Traber and Duke is awesome. Trying to get into Norm's head, then sits there pissed off cause it didn't work! 😂👍

[@dp92492]

He is pissed because he threw it better.

[@dp92492]

Don’t mistake the better bowler with the better shot.

[@tuckerstrack]

@@dp92492 he went high and tripped the 4 pin, duke blasted 10 back on a perfect shot, then traber went high again and didn’t trip the 4 and duke again put 10 back on a perfect shot to win……how is traber the better bowler?

[@jakemiller664]

@@tuckerstrack that’s probably trabers burner account

[@Kevin-bt4wb]

@@dp92492 - LOL... I'll have what you're smoking. Duke flush in the pocket and buries 10 in the pit. Traber goes very high a gets lucky to trip out the 4-7-10. Duke flush in the pocket and buries 10 in the pit again. Traber goes high and leaves the 4-pin. How tf is missing the pocket and going high better than flush in the pocket and 10 in the pit?

[@goldhunter3943]

Poor Major Mika he always seems to be losing against Norm Duke.

[@y2536524]

Same for Shafer

[@dp92492]

Also that Traber is VERY underrated

[@rogerrobertson8506]

That's my little Normy !!

[@robertcuratolo5339]

The most famous one when Mika blew that 10 pin on Duke that cost him i believe the US open....Mika laying down dropping Fin obscenities i think....lol...was epic funny.

[@Lexzim9098]

@@robertcuratolo5339 Yes, 2011 U.S. Open, Title Match.

[@lumberlikwidator8863]

Tom Baker is one class act. I used to watch him practice at RocMar lanes in Buffalo back in the late 1970's. Before he hurt his wrist he had as much power as Mark Roth.

[@Lexzim9098]

8:56 Norm used the full length of that wooden floor, up to the foul line, with both soles of his feet over the edge.

[@Terrafire34]

I love Duke everyone else jumping around getting all hyped up and he’s sitting there like a fucking ninja ready end all their hopes and dreams!!!

[@ronwynkoop9340]

How about a video of all the weird and unusual happenings, like Dick Allen spilling water, switch grips breaking off, Marshall Holman breaking the foul light, lane breakdowns, etc

[@thebowlfosho4974]

I remember seeing one telecast where Patrick Healey Jr.'s sponsor patch fell off his shoulder.

[@wingracer1614]

@@thebowlfosho4974 I've seen that happen to PDW too

[@yaboii9474]

"YEAHHHH FRUIT SALAD BABY COME ON"

[@NateCraven318]

I think what he means by "Fruit salad" is that he chopped those pins up like you would chop fruit up.

[@blackunicornbowling]

😂😂😂

[@ThePatriotsway]

Liked his little slide he did while saying it.

[@PinoyBowlerGS92]

@@NateCraven318 That interesting. I really thought Dave ate fruit salad before he bowls in the finals lol.

[@-mais]

Dude, you NEED to create bowling memes, you are the perfect person to do that

[@thebowlfosho4974]

Almost leaving a pocket 7-10 in the tenth when you only need a mark to win, especially when your career is on the line? That's scary... Tom Baker certainly deserved that win.

[@dormnuke]

man norm just struck so he didn’t have to hear fruit salad again lmao

[@stormconnor5972]

Who remembers when Mika was one of the best bowlers in the world

[@Rick_Schott]

This was something like watching old Attitude Era WWE videos. Nostalgic. Thanks for posting.

[@djrickysmith]

OMG.. that first match with Duke was one of the first I posted and told everyone to type in the URL a certain way so they could see it in HD

[@williamnowacki]

8:45 oh boy looks like someone watched the Wiggles too much 😆😆😆

[@mattpumphrey2619]

Tom Baker needed to win that match to get on the exempt list, otherwise he would've retired. That gave him another 4 years on tour.

[@JH223BowlingVids]

Poor Mika. I'm surprised on how many times he is on here.

[@jinky2629]

Best bowling channel ever!! Keep up the good work!!

[@Lexzim9098]

Missed the premiere, but great to see the return of the OG Bowling Planet series, and a bitter sweet one as well. 😊

[@brandonharrington1422]

Was also a massive choker. Could easily have a bunch more titles.

[@bowlingboi9633]

I'm pumped for this

[@Krranski]

*Sees Shafer* Oh I know how this one's going to go.

[@brianfarrell269]

tom baker might be one of my if not my favorite pba player….what a humble and nice guy

[@NateCraven318]

5:41 FLAMED it. He threw it SO hard. That ball had NO chance of recovery.

[@prototypejack671]

You did Norm dirty with that thumbnail lol

[@markmclaughlin7706]

you could tell traber was like damn i have gotten away with 3 lucky strikes i cant keep this up than the next shot is high shot finally didnt carry LOL

[@danielmaddox7792]

I can fill my entire night with these videos. 2:43am

[@blackunicornbowling]

Ricky Ward 😂😂😂😂😂😂 listen to that yell

[@White2530]

Norm coming in to do a shot and immediately stops himself before he makes a mistake. That’s a true pro, u usually would only end up realizing u make a mistake by the time ur ball hits the lane but he was able to notice before he even threw it and secured that shit in the bag 😂

[@Nlangkirby135]

I missed the premier of this video!

[@iconredesign]

Might as well call this video "Norm Duke: Master of the clutch"

[@dwcavileer]

liked the ending outro vids and music, however the formatting for channel and videos is not working

[@gutterbro]

Video suggestion: Top 5 doubles partners

[@arthurr7866]

Always liked Duke's style. Classy guy too.

[@TheGamingKingpin]

He has a very clean release. I've always loved watching his style when I was still bowling with one hand. 😉

[@treysrailfanning1296]

he loved every comment nice

[@johnathanhemmingsen6001]

I love P.A.’s intensity

[@dormnuke]

hES BACK BOWLING PLANET IS BACK WOOOOOOOOO

[@Priest0311]

Tom Baker and Ricky ward ending are hilarious lol

[@treysrailfanning1296]

aye!!

[@waylandquiaoit3871]

4:01 That spare almost missed like a meter/inch away from the gutter

[@DaveBais]

Poor Mika. Duke is awesome. But the Tom Baker win was so emotional. Briljant.

[@patyarns7760]

Great matches here. None of these wall-babies and disrespectful youngsters nowadays, can perform under the clutch like these guys can. I've spoken with Duke in person a few times and he's great, great.

[@canuck_gamer3359]

5:44 Mika probably should not have played that angle on the final shot because as you saw, if he throws it a pinch too hard...that is the result. With how hard he can throw, he should have moved right and just torched it at the pocket. P.S: Patrick Allen looks like a guy who couldn't possibly do a single push up or sit up if his life depended on it lol.

[@h8m812]

As a finn, i feel so bad for Mika, didn't know he was so unlucky back then.

[@andrescarrascoivich9852]

Are you going to upload the king of the lanes empress edition?

[@Bowling_Planet]

Both shows are up!

[@PinoyBowlerGS92]

2:15 I just look at something for a second lol

[@BakerOrDie123]

Funny how footage from 2002, for some reason looks like the 1980's.

[@user-xl3cd3ws7b]

8:04 Was Traber insulting Norm at the moment in fact?

[@djmeduna2009]

Wow

[@theabner880]

3:27 In what world is that a tough conversion?

[@wingracer1614]

It's not in my world but there are some righties (including a few pros) that really struggle with left side spares. Their arm is just so used to throwing right, they can't go left accurately. That's why some of them hook it at those despite the constant instruction to always go straight

[@Riz2336]

Duke is one the best but damn he cries a lot after he wins

[@dormnuke]

someone really yelled "YES" at 9:14

[@TonyLaspina]

Where are Parker Bohn & Walter Ray finals?

[@phillipburrell5365]

Still trying to believe that 2002 clips are not from the 1980's
