Holman was getting out bowled by a ball that day. I remember a few of McDowells shots and thinking WOW......

Ahhhh..... The Excalibur... The ball i never got to throw.. I was pretty young then and the latest craze was the Excalibur.. I could never get hold of one because it was sold out in every proshop.. That and the Purple Rhino Pro.. I ended up getting an Ebonite Turbo X in early summer of '93.. Was amazed and got my old man to buy another one for me and got it drilled different.. Won a youth tournament about a month later.. Great ball..

One of the greatest balls I ever owned.
I believe the ones he (nu-line) made by hand where better balls than the Columbia made ones.
I can still remember the sticker shock of the $140 price tag, little did we know.
Some bowlers loved them, some hated them, and regardless you had to learn a whole new way of adjusting. But the extra pop made them carry so much better than anything else out there.

Wasn't until about the 7th or 8th frame that I was able to see enough of the logo to see that it wasn't a yellow dot. Little did I know what it was, but I knew instantly that a new day had dawned in the bowling world.
I had already gone through the " urethane is better than plastic " stage, and had FINALLY switched over to urethane full time. Just as soon as I saw this, I knew I would soon have to change again.

Nelson Burton Jr. probably didn't know or knew little about resin reactive being so used to urethanes for so many years and plastics in between and before that. He said he had never seen a ball hook like that. Granted McDowell was a cranker/power player with or without the ball.

Yes he was out bowled by the ball and bowler. I understand what your saying. No one is knocking the guy with the resin ball. It's just obvious that the guy with the resin ball had a major advantage.
I wonder what it would be like if someone back then had a NO MERCY or TNV or some other awesome ball of today.

Taking from comments and responses:

Or, it could be viewed as "the day bowling joined every other major sport in America in using technology to advance itself."
We frame the resin discussion in terms of good vs. evil way too often. Change is change, nothing more. How you adapt to it determines if you use it to your advantage or get run over by it.
I see a lot of people who have gotten run over by it trying to change it back now, and there are few things more potentially dangerous than reversion.
Our sport is different. It is not worse.
