Worst of: 2023 PBA Tournament of Champions

[@Bowling_Planet]

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

[@robertreyes5036]

Marshall was really cool when he heard Randy 😂 love the interactions between the bowlers, crowd, and commentators. Need more bowling on TV

[@adamlorenz4748]

I was livid at home for him. Randy and Rob have to cool it a bit. Norm was really good and actually gave some information on technique

[@ambiarock590]

I dont think Rash would have handled that as well

[@purplepainandgoldsuffering]

​@@adamlorenz4748hey come on man, it's all good. They all laughed and had a good time, I think it's okay to have that in bowling sometimes. Now let's just say Randy was lucky that it wasn't Pete, he would have had the Webersaurus Rex biting his head right off

[@Lexzim9098]

6:08 "I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!" This was an absolutely brilliant telecast, thx so much for uploading all 4 of these shows BP!

[@johnathanhemmingsen6001]

That was so funny

[@shawnmorgan7436]

That did get me laughing, especially coming from Norm!!

[@Krranski]

My fav part too. It's so unlike announcers to joke like that, that it was like he broke character.

[@devinspradling]

This made me cackle

[@hiit-itxr-fitness1962]

And that's after Randy told him STOP IT too ☠

[@guitarzan5328]

I will NEVER get tired of Norm giving Randy the "Ernie Schlegel"... that was just the funniest shit ever: *"I DON'T BELIIIEEEVE IT!!!"* 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀

[@holifyre]

Definitely a lot of interesting off-hits in this year's TOC, the lanes seemed really diabolical during the extended stepladders

[@colindeguzman610]

Here's my take: Seventeen of the worlds best pro bowlers... MISSING THE HEADPIN SO MANY TIMES! Unreal! And also... JASON. BELMONTE. This man was in 58th place after the first round of qualifying and somehow ended up winning the whole dang tournament. INSANE. Keep in mind that EJ Tackett was undefeated heading into this tournament. Belmo just handed him his first loss of the season, and the GOAT is on his own undefeated streak as he starts his season 6-0. Side note: Anyone else miss Chris Via's 1-2-3-4-5-7-8-10 washout at 5:23? 😂

[@Lexzim9098]

Absolutely incredible to say the least! :)

[@Krranski]

I had never thought of that as a kind of washout before, but I think you are right to put it in the category. Nice

[@sonicfanatik]

I remember as a child watching the '94 TOC on tv, from this same Riviera Lanes, and witnessing how many bowlers could not string strikes together. I don't know whether it's the lanes themselves, or the oil pattern that they put down for the TOC, but it goes to prove how difficult this tournament is to win.

[@DeadMeatMorgan]

The lanes looked brutal during this event! Made for some really interesting viewing

[@AceInTheHole900]

It was a shit show

[@SirJoelsuf1]

5:50 That's what I like to see. Kent just laughed it off instead of getting all mad about it. Good to see that.

[@krisherdown]

I've been bowling for over thirty years and I have never seen a 2 count like that. Also, Andrew owes a lot of beers for that one - and I saw Lavoie trying to cash in.

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

A guy I've bowled with has been trying to collect all the 290 games for quite a few years. Last I knew he still hasn't got his 292.

[@Chicken_o7]

You should watch AJ Chapman's 2 count 😂

[@eurosimpliciti259]

Some of the breaks were the most surprising I've ever seen, if it wasn't an 8 pin, it was a 9 pin, then a solid 7, madness. I've hit my slump so seeing these guys struggle so much makes me realise that everyone has their off days

[@ChanceOfOne344254]

These low scoring matches are what I like to see, it goes to show how difficult the conditions on the PBA are.

[@picklesdidsell_6816]

Believe it or not some of the animal patterns they put out arent super difficult, I bowled in some summer league and they put out a bunch of pba patterns and some of them were not that difficult, but alot of them were. Then again there wasnt many people per pair and we wernt switching lanes so thats probably why I think that 😂

[@scottwilson6712]

Great breakdown...keep 'em coming.

[@davetimmons2757]

I feel a little better about my game after seeing this!

[@chasbari]

I suddenly don't feel so bad about struggling on a PBA pattern tournament yesterday..

[@purplepainandgoldsuffering]

My god, this telecast was gold. I can't believe I watched it in a bar off my phone with the volume down.

[@brandonwilliams5563]

Those patterns look hard as hell

[@danielmaddox7792]

“HEY RANDY” That’s so hilarious

[@lonewolfx499]

Of course the one time I don't raise my hand for the 5-pin... Thanks Andrew!😂😂

[@christopherdunne7848]

I have watched pro bowling on TV (and now streaming) for about 60 years now. NEVER have I ever seen a pro miss the 5-pin… until now.

[@TheOtherCaleb]

I’m loving these challenging patterns

[@TLUAdvice]

The condition must have been really hard! Nothing Worse than when 1 inch left or right is all it takes to go nose or light.. good bowling overall. These guys are the best of the best and still couldn’t throw quality on every shot. God speed folks ❤️

[@coopergates9680]

Marshall was the only one playing in the gradient of the pattern, the rest were deeper in the flat stuff. Simo was in a pretty good spot, just had that one bad tug for a split. Marshall is pretty up the back with his hand, so it didn't read the gradient much.

[@hongphucnguyenbuiphuchands6480]

If these bowler keep doing that the rate will fall down😢

[@AnnaCassandraSophitia25832]

6:58 Reporters: Get Down You Stinkin Pin!

[@cliffsta87337]

Yikes haha that pattern must’ve been brutal.

[@JonHop1]

That dont explain all the missed single pins tho.. Pro's were just off this week bad. And the spares are straight shot spares that have nothing to do with an oil pattern. They just missed and were terrible shots.

[@TheMichiganMetalhead]

2:27 I say the same thing except my name is Aaron. When I throw a bad spare shot (especially on single pins)

[@JoshuaSlosser]

shotmaking and spare shooting ability were generally terrible amongst all the pros over the course of the four shows. I was very surprised.

[@Fluffyguy958]

You're not the only one.

[@jakeyrunescape9219]

another amazing showing for Jason

[@pensnut08]

These huge hooks and all those RPMs sure leave some "interesting" leaves...

[@kyle18269]

Love how Tom Smallwood & Wes Malott both called themselves by their full names after a bad shot 😂.

[@josephbellotti1007]

do you know when the pba will air it on youtube

[@braydenmbve545]

Belmo is at it again! 15 majors for the #1 bowler in the world!

[@GaiTheEspy]

wow i didn't think the pros could have my ungodly luck from time to time wonder how they deal with bad breaks 🤔 how they keep their cool

[@Lexzim9098]

*5:04** "Guy's got some serious pipes going!"* Very sus Randy lol! *9:15** "Double finger insert sound edit??"*

[@iconredesign]

Jason being Jason, violating the laws of physics and hitting the ball twice smh /s

[@mikeyvance3230]

I legit remember feeling nothing watching the third ladder. We had tickets for the Finals and Belmo being my favorite I obviously wanted to meet him. Thank god for the 10 pin 😂

[@tenfourproductionsllc]

Some serious,serious reverse block going on... But these are professionals and it makes for the very best moving on. And at 5:25 the very rare 2 count on the first ball.

[@TheCulturedMan34]

Never seen that happen even at local lanes

[@jonathanmoor7035]

Oof 😥

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

They have GOT to do something about the horrible sound of a bowling ball rolling on dirty plastic. God I miss the sound of wood lanes and wood pins.

[@Codnitive]

Love the content

[@3000shorts]

0:44 messenger fails

[@aydengianes2515]

I don't understand all of our professional bowlers are all over the lane barely hiting the head pin even missing toooooo many spares💀

[@YourLocalBowler]

That looked like a really difficult tournament for everybody

[@christopherguzsaly6528]

Love watching the pros bowl bad. Makes me feel better when i bowl good on the sport shots

[@teejay6063]

The thumbnail reminds me of when we had to pick cards for the "big jackpot" at moonlight bowling. I picked. I picked a 2 and a 1. Tried to chip out the ol' 6-9. Didn't happen.

[@PointyTailofSatan]

You would think a simple light hook from the right side (like a right handed Earl Anthony) would be better for an oil pattern that makes the big hook so erratic.

[@charlesljones2454]

That's why I like norm duke and Walter Ray Williams .....they throw conventional lazy curves that stay the same when the lanes break down .

[@danakim0508]

What can you not believe it

[@edwardranno7119]

How do you miss a 5 pin????

[@hongphucnguyenbuiphuchands6480]

What going on with these bowler are they falling down?

[@jerrynash8920]

After the spare fiasco I just witnessed at the TOC, I'll go back to watching Top Star Bowling, Championship Bowling, and ABC reruns. At least the bowlers on those shows knew how to bowl. Especially when it comes to picking up spares. By far the worst I have ever seen. I don't care if the shot was named after the legendary Don Johnson.

[@sashasshenanigans7319]

"oh jesus thomas" LMFAOOOOOOOO

[@taylorluvshorses16]

Watching pros make mistakes makes me feel a bit better about my own blunders 😅😅

[@FranBushardt]

I feel Sorry for the Bowlers BUT it prevented Randy From using his STUPID HAMBONE Label.

[@EdwardTunilla-zn2ch]

I shoot my 10 pins much worse than these guys are.

Never see the worst of tournament of championship😢

[@johnburden9109]

It was weird when ol' boy got 2 and they said "Have you ever seen that before?!!" I've probably done it myself at least 20 times. I'm just that bad!

[@christopherdunne7848]

Yeah but my 2-counts never were picking out the 6-9!

[@arethereanyuniquehandles]

I have generally liked Randy Pedersen, but he needs to keep his yap shut a lot more.

[@hongphucnguyenbuiphuchands6480]

Eh the worst tournament ever what is going on i think lane too difficult or did not prepare well. Am i right?

[@Gamemaster-jv1ws]

I just love watching Belmo win tournaments

[@mikeyvance3230]

Andrews downfall was him saying go blue 🤣. That’s not allowed in Ohio 🤣

[@williamhrivnak7345]

Randy Pedersen’s whole personality is that 8 pin. It’s kinda annoying to see an 8 pin leave because he always feels the need to mentioned his bad tournament and it gets old hearing the same joke every time

[@300deebo]

Are Wes' knees that bad? He was barely bending them.

[@Aviation_811]

4:05 indeed thats a 9 lol

[@RobH0421]

Wes, learn from your mistakes and play it tighter!

[@edwardranno7119]

Wes has major back problems,so he is lofting the ball a lot more than usual,causing him all kinds of trouble

[@RobH0421]

@Edward Ranno Well that sucks, hope his back gets better over time.

[@edwardranno7119]

@@RobH0421 he wasn’t even going to bowl he was hurting so bad ,but he hung in there,and did pretty good!!

[@n9wff]

I wonder if they switched to urethane or even plastic and go more straight.

[@iconredesign]

What’s with the absolutely horrendous spare-shooting? No one can shoot a damned 5-pin half the time

[@JB-bs1se]

Geez I would just switch to throwing straight at the pocket.

[@edwardranno7119]

That’s the only problem with having a big hook ball,

not an easy Don Johnson Pattern for me i would average 180 to 190 on it my very favorite pattern is Viper average 220 on that one I'm bored of house shots unless you're in leagues

2023 PBA Tournament Of Champions Lowlights, and the disaster continues...

[@InspirationalSmilingPupp-qc1md]

1:49 2:28 10:43 10:53 Missed it Open frame.

[@JonHop1]

TOC was just straight up ugly for spare shooting. Unacceptable for pro's to mess so many straight single pins and buckets. I dont care about missing on the strikes shots on a hard pattern, as that is normal, but missing so many single pins, and AA almost missed a 5 pin like what... You rarely ever saw spare shooting this bad back in the day. EJ missing TWO 3-6-10's in a championship match. Its crazy.

[@Lexzim9098]

AA actually missed a 5-pin when he left it for the 2nd time at 7:43!

[@iconredesign]

Jason Belmonte basically got gifted so many pins by his opponents whiffing so many spares

[@randomhuman2116]

ngl thats really part of the game today, the players focus so much on power that they have trouble dialing it back to hit spares, vs back in the day when the game was all about accuracy

[@iceman5117]

@@randomhuman2116 if you don't think the game is about accuracy anymore, I don't know what to tell you.

[@JonHop1]

@@randomhuman2116 good point, also, it was harder to strike back then, so spare game was all the more crucial. Regardless, its still unacceptable. I can assure you, I am a better spare shooter than a lot of these guys. I am no where near their level of bowlers, but my spare game is rock solid. I average 226 in league, and last year I missed 1 10 pin in 96 games, and only 2 single pin spares. I am a super accurate spare shooter, as I was taught from a young age that making 10 pins and spares are the most important aspect of bowling. So my dad would coach me every week and we only focused on spare conversation and spare tactics for each spare. Greatest lessons I have ever learned. I am sure someone will bring up being on TV or on the big stage, but these guys missing spares are the best in the world and have tons of experience in these situations. Its so sad to see a title game destroyed over simple spare shots.

[@douglasskaalrud6865]

How many of these guys would be proficient at throwing back-up balls?

Maybe if Malott would stop lofting it so aggressively

[@jakesnussbuster3565]

He literally has to, and he made the show doing it, don't see you on there

You call them all professional....to me professionalz don't miss spares... I'm a real professional that's why I retired of all the wannabes

[@mofo7689]

I began bowling in the late 1970s. The first rule taught was to make the ball release SILENT; making that point almost always the same point. The moment you have a blob on the lane throwing and dropping the ball, you might as well play horseshoes with the pins at the end. Bowling and billiards are games of finesse.

[@ronwest217]

Sure you need a spare ball!
