I think his problem has been no confidence in his ball reaction and the reps pushing the latest and greatest on him to throw on TV. Last season on TV he was throwing an invasion and was clearly to strong for a guy that likes to let the ball work. I think the Marvel was the wrong ball to, just by watching what everyone else was throwing and by there ball reactions. I know it your job as a staffer to sell balls but how good is it gonna sell when you make it look bad by not using it on the right condition.

According to Schlemer's writeup on the Storm website, the exact opposite was the case:

All four finalists on this year’s telecast showed you at home how they played the lanes throughout the week. The only difference was three of the four elected to use a different ball than they had used to make the show. The only player to stick to the ball that got him there was Pete Weber. Even though the lanes were a little different as expected on the TV pair due to the lights and dust particles that come along with building the set each week, Pete still felt the pin up Marvel with 2000 Abralon by hand, was the ball for him. I suggested a pin up 2Fast with 4000 Abralon by hand, which we drilled earlier in the week as an option for when the front part of the lane started to hook early, but he felt the Marvel was still his best option. To be honest I even suggested a ball change again during the commercial break of his match because I could see that the Marvel was just too strong of a ball for what was out there. Yet Pete still felt he had made a couple of bad shots and that it was not the ball. In times like that, I try not to force the issue of a ball change. I merely make my suggestion as to what I see. I do not see the lane the same way that Pete or Patrick Allen do. They see the lane through how they are throwing the ball and I see the lane how their ball is reacting. Sometime we match up and sometimes we do not.

being from missouri i'm a little biased as i have met him and his father. both gems of our sport

bottom line is he made the show beat out the best the world has to offer to get there and he lost a close match.

he is getting up in age now but in my opinion looks good as ever.

flame all ya want we are sitting here behind our computers while he is traveling to the next pba event....
