Remember When?
« on: March 28, 2005, 10:05:48 AM »
Remember when you needed Technique and Fundamentals to rip racks? For those of you too young to remember the old days, here's a clip from 1977. Wood lanes, NOT A WALL SHOT, and a 3-piece plastic ball.

Would he be able to survive bowling like that today? And how the heck did he not have loops in his back? O well he is one of the greats, and you won't see me questioning him. Great clip, thanks.

With all due respect to Marshall (that was an awesome release), those pins were likely no heavier than 3 lb 4 oz, and could have been as light as 3 lb 2 oz.

I think the important question is, did he make the comeback?

But thanks for the clip, that was neat watching some "history".

I may post some other clips from time to time, but the problem is that there aren't too many places that let you post videos for free. The Site where this one resides only allows 9 Megs, and this small clip takes up 1/2 of the allowed space. Somebody find me a better place that's free, and I'll put up a few more "Classic Clips".

Just make a bunch of accounts with different email addressed (yahoo has easy email set up).
