What was the Green/Yellow ball he threw near the end? Toxic? Looked like an old Vicious Particle a little!

Im interested to hear billy's comments on his blog.
He looked so nervous and indecisive, and his body language was nothing like it was on the previous show.  He seemed so much more focused against Angelo and Couch, and appeared that something was really bothering him yesterday

Yeah, maybe his gums were bothering him because he sure did flap them enough.

more than just words.
The first few shots he threw, Billy looked really uneasy.  It wasn't a look of frustration, but a look of just being overwhelmed.
He was super emotional during his match with scroggs (spare conversion)
Billy also got really down on himself after a few frames against Bohn.
There was little positive talk and I really wonder if there was something off the lanes bothering him and preventing him from performing to his full ability

He is way too volatile for my liking, emotion is one thing, what he does is borderline head-case behavior.

He is a little to demonstrative. It will be hard for him to win a title until he tones it down and keeps his composure. Get excited and bring it back down to get ready for the next shot like Norm Duke or Pete Weber.

Billy should practice deep-breathing, relaxation.

Really, who is anybody on theis board to criticize ANY bowler that makes the pro tour and makes the show?

This forum is getting to be rediculous!  Everybody is so cozy here in their internet cocoon.  To all the naysayers and character assassins, GET OUT THERE AND SHOW US THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT!  Until you do, STFU!


The right way to do what? In no way did I refer to his bowling. I was speaking on his on-lane behavior. Ive watched him during qualifying rounds and his act gets old. Now this is my opinion, you do not have to like it. The fact remains, his "highs" are too high and his "lows" are too low. How can you bowl at an elite level when your emotions are up and down like the stock market?

What does it matter if he was emotional on tv about his bowling. He didnt kick anything nor did he yell about a bad shot he just spoke to himself. He was not rude in any way or was angry about the way everything happened. We all are emotional on the lanes in some shape or fashion specially when you have 25k dollars on the line and counting on some shots to carry. I think we all would be angry about losing out on almost 19k dollars more than what he won by coming in 4th place. Then ontop of that he has the entire world watching him compete on a pro level, that is nerve wrecking. I mean personally my heart would be beating like a drum specially if this is only the second time you have been on telelvision. And when he spoke to himself he spoke calmly without yelling, im sure you would hear worse then that on half of the bowlers in the world if they were mic'd.

I enjoy watching him on tv. When we converted that split it was amazzing. I love to watch him on tv because of his emotion. Much better than watching PDW doing his crotch, he just looks like a complete idiot.

I think he's a talented bowler and I would like to see him win. I just think he would have to be the top seed to win right now. With all of the emotion running through him he is either going to throw a bad shot while on that high or pass out before he finishes the tournament.

Hey, I like PDW.  He doesn't act like a turd when he loses.  He actually talks to the camera also, he doesn't act like it's not there.  His personality is great & he gets fired up when he's striking.  He's not screaming like the Deuche bag 2 weeks ago.

Yeah PDW is very good on camera.  I thought there was a lot of good emotion on that show, not just by Oatman.  It all came across really well.  You could tell how bad Parker wanted that win and how fired up Page was getting when he was making his run.
