If you made Chris Barnes 30 years younger, had him bowl 2-handed, and give him a deadly stare that reflects an ultra high level of intensity, you would get Ryan Barnes. This kid, if his arms don't fall off mysteriously, will be someone to reckon with in the PBA for the next 20 years.

[@brandonortega5326]

His dad got shook in the big moments, his son looks like he lives for those big moments

[@tynosille6747]

Hope he doesn't choke as much as dad!

[@tynosille6747]

Did Chris ever even have a good game against Walter Ray Jr? He bullied Chris like no other pete weber too

[@TrevorPrinceMusic]

​@@brandonortega5326 facts

[@BeefandBarnzy]

@@tynosille6747 actually beat him for titles 3 times. He did beat in the finals of the masters (I was the 1 seed) twice. And I think I was 3-0 against Pete on tv. Cool story though 😂

[@NathanMoist]

Maybe a good thing Chris didn't have a mic on him for Bill's Brooklyn shot. lol.

[@JohnAckerman31]

Just so happy for Ryan. I know one day he will be like his dad and win titles, rack up lots of cash, and have a spot in the Hall of Fame. Wish you all the best Ryan!

[@TylerDunphy]

Thank you for uploading this! It was tiring having to wait so many months afterwards last year.

[@giganerd896]

Everyone else's resolution: "Win more." Packy Hanrahan: "I don't know, I'm pretty great."

[@everettgloverlll9052]

1:27:10 almost a 7-10 split

[@zaknapp]

I loved Packy's resolution. I agree with him, they should at best be goals you want to do like read 10 books this year. They shouldn't be lifestyle changes, if you didn't already have the motivation for those things, you aren't magically going to in January

[@edoardovecchi1161]

Like father, like son.... The same Little shimmy to the right before starting the approach and the same first step

[@vinyanleo2320]

Stubler’s approach reminded me of Ryan Schafer.

[@RichardRitenour0522]

With a crack commentator crew and a handful of future Hall of Famers what more can you ask for? Ryan Barnes will prove to be a very special bowler in years to come! Nobody does it like the PBA!!

[@TrevorPrinceMusic]

I'm excited to continue to see him bowl. Met him about a month ago. Great kid. Fierce competitor

[@gccorbitt2]

@1:11:37 & 1:12:10 hmmm B.O. and Randy have a very short memory. And that right lane was actually a shot making surface that could hold oil as opposed to Delaware Left Lane

[@MasonTake5]

AYYYY ITS MEL IN THE BACKGROUND

[@lucidxchrist2133]

7:48 I find this funny. Because you can see the same thing between Kyle and Guppie Troup

[@electrician240]

Bill has won more than a few matches with a lucky Brooklyn shot....

19:23 jinx

[@lumberlikwidator8863]

It sounds like they are rolling over the finger holes almost every shot. I saw it in the 2023 USBC Queens. Is this a new thing? If so, what is that doing to the surface of the lanes?

[@bowlersunanimous1983]

I’m wondering the same thing. Very apparent in the Barnes vs Via match too.

[@joellee2748]

Wondering if the sounds made by the bowling balls are actually the revolutions. Sounds similar to Jesper's ball in the 2017 World Championship

[@sejinJ]

Urethane and small tilt

[@lumberlikwidator8863]

@@sejinJ Thanks for your reply. Sounds possible to me, I’m not very much into bowling science. But I have a theory of my own, that the combination of heavy, asymmetrical cores and very high rev rates can actually cause the ball to “jump” or come up slightly off the lane with each revolution of the ball, and what I’m hearing is the ball touching back down. I’m not sure whether the centrifugal force of a rapidly spinning asym core could actually make this happen. I came up with this idea because I never seem to hear that sound on an LPBA broadcast. I think that the ladies, with generally weaker equipment and layouts, as well as lower rev rates, can’t make the ball leave the lane surface like that. So tell me what you think of my theory?

[@ErickBone-o7s]

Which event was this?

[@nickyg3000]

Players Championship

[@skater92123]

Stubler out here looking like Elijah Wood

[@AdubsMMA]

Not taking anything away from mini Barnes, but acting as if he didn't have a blessed life with many doors open due to who is dad is, is ridiculous.

[@TrevorPrinceMusic]

He still had to earn it. You really think chris handed it to him? Ryan beat him in match play for heavens sake. It's always been who you know.

[@vergiljerome9126]

I dont know how to feel about the new commentator.... idk

PbaBowling, Thank you for uploading the Stepladder Finals of the 2024 Pba Players Championship. Also, Did Bill O'Neill faced Tom Smallwood in the 2nd Semi Final Match of the Pba World Championship that is held in Northrock Lanes in Wichita, Kansas during the 2009-2010 Season on the Pba Tour that you upload on KZbin?

[@ДмитрийВолков-ж2ю]

👍👍👍👍

[@chrisascolesi5885]

Ryan should of won, just couldnt stay consistant

[@leuguimnieves3318]

My dream one day is to bowl on TV ❤🎳

[@foxwolf316]

not bad show, ryan barnes proved his skills in match 1, and match 2 was dramatic ending seeing that nate should of won that match, but it is what it is if you don't strike on the last ball but good match, and match 3 bill was just lucky to win that match is ryan didn't miss the 10 pin on the first frame still an okay match, to bad tom smallwood and bill o''niel are passed there prime and that final match was real sloppy seeing how bad they were not making good shots, but bill had to do what he had to do, both men were in there 40s and both were former players champion, so good job for bill winning after 4 years since his last win on players championship I'm giving this show an 8 out of 10 or as i would say a B Grade

[@Krranski]

I am going to take issue with you saying Bill and Tom are "passed there prime." Smallwood was top seed and Bill was the second seed in this major. I'd say they are still doing fine. Bill, in particular, has been consistently successful across tournaments in recent years. Bowlers in their 40s often do very well on tour, in fact. Anyway, the last game was exactly that, one game. It's difficult to judge someone's overall skill when considering one isolated game with the players being under extreme pressure and in an unusual setting. If you haven't done so, I'd suggest you watch the match play portion of this tournament. Both bowlers were awesome in this tournament.

[@NathanMoist]

One thing for sure is Bill and Tom have more talent when they were younger, now, and when they are about to die than you will ever have foxwolf316.

[@Ironfangzu]

Bill got pretty lucky with that critical Brooklyn. But hey, breaks are part of bowling. It was just his day.

@ I think his name is Braden. He shows up on a couple videos with the house Bowling he’s a really good bowler.

[@claytontanner5686]

[@alonzotanner1226]

All these people saying like father like son. If Chris really did Ryan right he’d make sure he’d not bowl with two hands. So fucking stupid. What a horrible bs form. Totally took the fun out of watching bowling. What a joke. As of Chris didn’t do enough to make me dislike him. Bad enough this whole league is being taken over by dumb two handed bowling.

[@DoomSlayer3493]

Keep crying.

[@TrevorPrinceMusic]

Don't watch 💁🏾‍♂️
