He didn't, but his issue was trying to throw way too hard.  In general, high school kids aren't good spare shooters, but all the ones I know that take Jr Gold and other high profile sport youth tournaments seriously are very good spare shooters.  Oh well, whatever. 

As I said, they are high school kids.  Your expectations are way too high. 

I've been around bowling a long time and I am yet to meet someone at that age I would consider a good spare shooter.  For most at that age spare shooting is optional and the reset button would be just as effective.

I'll have to watch it again, but I don't remember him hooking it at any spares.

Because my comments about the telecast were a broad all encompassing critical analysis of his entire history, future, and overall skill level . .  His spare shooting on the telecast was not good, he was throwing way too fast, even Randy said he was too amped up.  An excerpt from one of my earlier comments:

I don't think those kids won their divisions with the same types of performances they had on tv. 

I am, and have been talking about the telecast, and the telecast alone, and everybody is trying to take it elsewhere and make it a broad conversation.  So because they're high schoolers, it's suddenly inaccurate to say they both had bad outings on the telecast?  Has zero to do with expectations, zero to do with the rest of the tournament, zero to do with their skill level or them personally.  Chris Barnes had a bad day too, but is that ok to say because he's an adult, or are you going to accost me with career facts about him too?  Them being high schoolers doesn't change definitions of terms regardless of expectations.  My daughter bowled in a high school meet yesterday and made several bad shots, bad decisions, and had some mental errors.  That's not based on her skill level, that's not based on an expectation, nor does it reflect or is it indicative of any past, current, or future success, it's simply based on standard definitions of terms. 

I watched the telecast . . I know that this is the second year in a row he's won it, I heard what Randy said about him, and this: "You dont get to the level he is at not making spares" is one of the most simplistic statements I've ever seen.  Chris Barnes didn't make the RPI finals shooting 150 or 160 every game either, you got any other gold nuggets of wisdom to drop?  Every time I say something, somebody has to turn it into drama and take it completely off track.  You don't think I can't figure out my form sucks?  Hence the REST of the videos about coaching myself?  If I thought it was perfect, and I was the elitist ass you thought I was, I'd post videos of myself every other day and put scores all over the place, not post videos explaining in detail how bad I am and how much help I need.  My daughter isn't going to get any better if I just say, "Eh, she's just a high schooler, I shouldn't expect too much."  As soon as I go back to explaining absolutely everything I say a hundred different ways so I don't get misunderstood, I'll get lambasted for being too longwinded again.  As it is, I'm already gonna get criticized for getting defensive and pissy.  The only way to win on this site is to just not post anything. 

is there a link to these video's on youtube i'd like to watch these and see what the big dilly is about....

It doesn't warrant this type of response, but the bottom line is that they missed a lot of simple spares, them being younger doesn't change that.  They also aren't your average high schoolers.  I'm sure they're better spare shooters than they showed, but it wasn't a great day for either of them, that's just how it is.
