Just look who made the show and who makes the show every week. The straighter guys are more consistent than the hookers!! I disagree, the ToC pattern was a multi-angle pattern. PDW and Shafer made the show hooking the ball and Barnes and Haugen played straighter. It looked like the straighter players had a slight edge on Sunday, mainly because Weber and Shafer burned up the inside during the first match. I do agree that Barnes isn't as willing to make big moves as the greats like Norm Duke, WRW and Pete Weber are. It seems to me when he loses his look on TV, he panics becasue he knows it's a 1 game match and he has to make a perfect move, what usually happens is he either tries to "Shim to win" which doesn't give you much room for error or makes a ball change that usually doesn't work out. I think (and I am by no means an expert) that he needs to trust his instincts more like the greats like PDW, WRW, PBIII and Norm Duke do and if it's not your day, it's not your day. If he trusts his instincts more and just bowls on Sunday, Chris will win more tournaments than he loses. As far as the ToC goes, although Barnes whiffed the 10 pin, Haugen deserves a ton of credit for not giving up and giving himself a chance.
