He was lost the first half of the game and it wasn't from lane transition. Good for Page.

i'll guess he was trying to stay ahead of transition.  he made that move from 2nd arrow to about 13 and also slowed down.  he was all over the place then.  my timing goes bad more when i slow down than when i speed up.  he'll chock it up to experience and be better next time no doubt.

There goes the old argument about the lefty having the advantage when he’s the lone one on that side. Wes proved that it isn’t always the best to be alone on your side.

He was lost from his rhythm, he was in sync the whole first game, and then he pitches out 2 shots wide and missed a ten pin, and struggled the whole game to get it back, which he did eventually.

I don't know what exactly happened but I do know the first two shots of the championship game looked like something I'd throw.

It seems anyone who bowls a big number in a semi this year subsequently falls on their butt the next game. It's almost like they throw the big one, then make a mistake or two in the next game and panic.

Sorry guys but Didnt Wes say something about he need tape during the first two frames.  Cant tell you how many thimes I need tape in league and didnt put it in and pitch two shots out.  And we you pitch a shot out on those kind of conditions you cant help but miss unlike when you pitch one out on THS!!!

Yeah, he did say that. Said something like, "You know you needed tape, add tape!". But that goes back to focus. You just shoot 290, I suspect the ol' confidence level is running pretty high and you might get complacent. Winning on TV isn't easy but if you get lazy with your timing or your adjustments you just make it that much harder on yourself.

I thought it was about the 4th or 5th  time I've seen him throw it near perfect right when he needed to in the last frame to win and get a vicious tap!

To bad.

I felt he was right where Parker was the game before as far as transition when it got tough for him.

Not easy stuff for sure!  That transition point on that shot makes it real tough right in that game where it hits.

REgards,

Ding, Ding, Ding, theres the answer. Even though the ball might not have felt 100% on his hand he had just come off shooting 290 and I know after I've shot a big game I'm a little more hesitant on making a change. Lets just forget that he covered the 2-4-6-10 and only focus on that he missed the 10 and made a few bad shots. Gotta love Monday morning quarterbacks, they know all the right answers after the fact.

Oh please, let's not start that BS ("Monday morning quarterbacks") again.

If bowling wants to be considered a sport, it should be comfortable with fans discussing whether the bowlers made the right or wrong calls, or whether they bowled well or not. Because that's what real fans of real sports do.

It seems like a lot of people want to squash any discussion that might be considered critical. If you're that self-conscious about the sport, outsiders looking in will think you're being a puss.

Go to any MLB, college football, NFL, NHL, etc., website and try to sell that attitude and you'll get laughed off the board.

I think it he threw a few bad shots because of dropping the ball and after that he was in trouble. I really can't believe that the lanes could have changed that much aftert h bowled 1 game on them. He was the only right hander and the lanes had a lot of oil on them. I was rooting for Wes and what really cost him the game was the missed 10 pin. Those guys just can't afford to miss spares.


the girls bowled on the lanes before him.

They did, but they wouldn't have shredded the lane condition enough for that kind of quick transition.  IMO, it looked like he over-thought the situation after that game against Parker and tried to stay ahead of the lane changes instead of just playing them as he started last game and then make changes as he saw fit.
