PBA Televised 300 Game #30: Chris Via

[@04zachy_chapy15]

Such a great feat. So proud of Chris. I feel like he was my good luck charm in league last night. Because I also shot 300 my first game out. So Chris not only gave us a thrill on television. But he also was the inspiration for my first 300 in league. My third all-time. So thank you Chris!!

[@cameronbuckler7981]

I watched the vid after league last night, but third game, I got front 4 then spared 5th frame and then punched out for 279. Only shot 670 though 🤦‍♂️

[@04zachy_chapy15]

You beat me in series I only had 646 lol😂🤣. I fell apart my second game from the adrenaline of the first game. I bounced back the third game and still averaged 215.

Watched this East Regional Finals with my Dad today. Did not disappoint. Congrats Chris Via for the 300 game! :D And also your first win on TV!

[@Krranski]

The Players Championship Regional Stepladders in 2021, collectively, are/were very favorable for high scores (it's still in process at the time of this comment). Following a few 270 games and even an 800 series by other players, someone shooting 300 in this event was not terribly shocking to a lot of people. Without a doubt, it's an outstanding achievement to do under intense pressure, under the TV lights, with different lane oil, in pandemic conditions, etc. Heck, it's amazing even under the most favorable conditions. It's something most bowlers, including myself, couldn't do in 100 games, or perhaps even in 1000, given the opportunity. This event highlights how great many of the players are at their mental game and fine-tuning their line to maximize carry, even following flush strikes. Great work Chris!

[@20xx_20xx]

What a show Via put on Yesterday! It was absolutely amazing to watch. This shows how much the PBA and its players are stepping up their game on TV. Remember before the 2020 season the last person to shoot 300 on TV was Lavoie in 2016 at the US Open and now we had 4 300’s in a matter of 2 Seasons amazing. Finally,besides Lavoie in 2016, name the last time a Non-Title Holder bowled a 300 on TV before they won a Title?

[@georgecrenshaw6309]

I believe that was Tony Reyes in 2006. He shot 300 en route to his lone title.

300

[@hankgolfer1]

So I get it. I am a left handed bowler and usually have the left side of lane all to my self then I should bowl 300 too. Yup, all you bowlers its that easy just have no one on your side of lane. 🤪

[@michaelmarsico9740]

@@hankgolfer1 your response is off key. I was referring to his ball reaction, nothing more. He managed to spray it in an 8.5 board window at the breakpoint, and still was able to find the pocket. Couple that with phenomenal carry, and that was the point of my comment. Cheers!

[@Ironfangzu]

Chris Via had quite a few light hits early but carried them all. That's what throwing 19 mph and 525 rev rate can do for you. I am a traditional righty, and I know many of my fellow old style bowlers are envious of 2 handers and no-thumbers for their high rev rate, saying that 2-hand bowling isn't "real" bowling. That's silly. The game evolves, and this is he state of the current game. I wish I could change myself, but, haha..too much of an old dog to learn new tricks.

[@superman46]

here is a question that i have not seen asked nor answered why hasnt belmo been playing and been in a more "tv" role to me it seems like this has happened to allow more of the "unknown" bowlers a chance to be on tv

[@shanedaniels5399]

I genuinely can't stand Rob Stone's commentary. I get it for television purposes. But as a life long bowler, the "character" he plays as an analyst cheapens the big moments. An announcer should never be a bigger part of the telecast than the players. Randy Peterson knows this, which is why he is the best.
