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

I believe that the Excalibur was out a while in league but it was the first time on the PBA show.


Check out www.mrbowling300.com to see other vidoes.  He gives introductions at the top and he stated that this was resins debut as well

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..

McDowell had a reaction Holman could not duplicate and the off hits McDowell carried were obvious.  His first four shots were not exactly flush shots.

(1) Wally shot, Resin hit
(2) Light carried, Urethane leaves corner
(3) Cave in
(4) Mixer

Holmans over hitting of the ball and his eyes told the story... i am beat.

We were lucky. Once we saw the show we contacted our distributor and they had 12 in the warehouse and we bought them all.

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.

Where it is obvious that resin makes a difference in scores.....Holman missed 2 spares that game or he is right in it. Missing spares is not out bowling someone.

True - But i "think" those misses were Holman being his typical negative self when he knew he was at less advantage.  Holman was the bully on the lanes and McDowells reaction out bullied him and after 4 it was over.  Only my opinion however... the topic should be that ball being debut, i simply thought Holman was beat after seeing those wally shots .... by the X caliber.

I remember this match.  I was watching it, wondering " How in the HE77 is he getting that yellow dot to hook and finish like that"?

  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.

This video shows the difference between the new and the old very well.  When Holman missed a tad, he left pins on the deck.  Meanwhile McDowell was basicly carrying regardless of high or light shots.  Anyone who watches this, and thinks McDowell is just 'better', really needs to reevaluate what they 'think' they know about bowling.

I was told that show was not the debut of resin. Tony Westlake used it earlier, probably late 1991. However, the first title was won with McDowell using a resin.

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.

Resin balls hit and carry better.  I don't see how anyone can argue that!
