GREAT PBA SHOW
« on: November 23, 2009, 02:49:03 AM »
I just want to say, it was sure nice to see a struggle and watch the best bowlers in the world face conditions that were truely tuff. Its ashame the left side was not the same as the right (for the women)... I feel for CDB. It was really great to see true quality shots in the 10th of the final game for the guys. THAT IS GOOD BOWLING.

yeah, watching pros shoot 170's on TV is AWESOME. at least we now know why people dont watch it anymore. no one wants to see pros shooting that low of scores.

Well if you ask me, I think there was something wrong with the lane machine. How the heck can the mids be so burnt if the oiled. Looked like the deeper the men went the sooner it hooked. I mean, these guys were throwing 18 - 20 and still 40 feet the balls were burnt up. Looked like Russell went 28 and started to get his hand around it (spinning it) to get length. In the end it looked like to was matching up... but come on... you call that track burn??


Have you ever bowled on the Chameleon oil pattern ??  There's not a whole lot of oil in the middle to begin with, couple that with the lane surface and you have a recipe for a train wreck.  You can also thank Sean Rash for burning up the inside part of the lane in the first match. Pluhowsky had a great look because the lane surface isn't as beat up on the left side. The finals should've been bowled in the other bay, the PBA and Thunderbowl should be ashamed of themselves for allowing the finals to be bowled in the older bay.  

As for Ronnie Russell's move, he just threw great shots in the 9th and 10th, he had virtually no room for error. It's just a shame he missed those 2 spares, he makes those and he wins. Ronnie will have his day, hopefully someday sooon.

No I never bowled on Chameleon... perhaps you are correct. And you are right.. they did not do justice for the average watcher to see such low scores... but for us who can appreciate it, not seeing 279's is good too (from carrythons).

I agree that Ronnie will have his day. He has been awesome for a LONG time.

I seem to remember the CATS showing that she was spraying the ball.  It was obvious that she had more room than the rightys.

However, the right handed guys were generally not splitting boards either, and seemed to be over balled.

I wonder what happened to Duke and Williams. It would seem that if up 5 with soft hands was the carry area for the entire tournament, Duke would have been there. If Up 15 with accuracy and speed was the shot the entire tournament, Williams would have won.

I think the shot in the finals was not the same as the shot leading up to the final day.

Randy was showing CATS numbers during the entire show.  Shannon was not spraying the ball at all !

As far as the comment of CDB following 4 men bowlers.  They did not destroy the shot, it was already gone before the first match started.  Too bad they did not show the bowlers throwing their practice shots before the telecast.  It would be interesting to see if all of the righties destroyed the shot, or if it was really gone before they started.  After all, Russell trying to roll out the ball and Rash completly lost, they had nothing to do with destroying the condition.

In all, it was a very entertaining telecast.  Kind of reminded me of league night in my bowling center.
