Saw the end of first shift and beginning of second shift.......first things first..... 25 at the arrows to about 10-12 at the break was VERY common to see!
Except for Mike DeVaney, who was at 30-32 to 5 with a Boost !! Rippin' the Rack! WOW!
Lane changes after each game 'usually' meant different lines and balls...kinda fun to watch. Some lanes were really screamin' some were holding up pretty well.
Before second shift , squad A, started, I'm watching people wrap up and all the sudden Randy Pederson is standing next to me talking w/ someone and watching someone finish,...2 minutes later, it's Tommy DeLutz Jr, watching the same pair finish and looking at the standings board....well after about 5 minutes, I figured, what the hell........."so, what ball is tearin' it up for you Tommy?" He says, " well, one of my round ones I hope !
" I cracked up......we chatted / small talked for a moment and he had to go get ready, ....said he had to go, "nice talking to you"...and left....NICE GUY !! Like the guy who lives next door...Others..........the Traber bros. are huge ! No offense, but they are, saw them talking to one another before their set, standing next to eachother...big boys!........Saw Jason Couch, kinda walking around the place like he owned it (MY opinion!)..Parker Bohn chit chatting w/ everyone, Steve Jaros chatting it up with people....
All in all, a "woulnd't miss it" kind of afternoon.........let's face it, when you get a chance to see the best of ANYTHING in the world, it's great !

There is a huge disparity in scores at the WC,
almost 1000 pins between top and bottom!

scores? Because a bunch of locals show up who have cards and kill house shots and they're there to have an experience.........my opinion.......

I thought it was one ticket for everything on Saturday. The price ranges were from like 11.40- 32.00 or something like that depending on what section you pick to sit in.

Maybe that's it Ken, just haven't paid attention to it......Trust me, I'll report out if I go back. MrsRevs is home with a Migraine....might be able to go see Squad B at 530 ?!?!

I'm considering coming up Friday if My buddy Jim Hilligis (b squad) is still hanging in there. He told me he could hook me up with a free pass, so I might make the drive. He's been bowling really well so far.
Damn Ken, I'll be coming home from a business trip Friday, ....I'll miss you unless you stay for Sat.....keep me posted via this post.....

It was built after I left in '89....Kretzer is struggling, I saw him throw about a dozen shots today and only saw 1 strike I think....he looked frustrated!

was there for all of the game sin the morning and left after the first 3 in second squad.
Watch devaney alot
started with a xxx factor 27-5 or so
drilled pin under and between fingers and cg way out-5 x 3 or 5 x 2
started to hook way to much-switch to the boost you talked about
that was drilled 5 x2
much better reaction
a ferw friends bowling most not well
kreft did look good-did miss hole for the 3 game si saw and was about 100 over
traber are huge and obviuoslty one much bigger than other-thoguht i might see them in the snack bar
straight lefties look like they were doing ok
hooking lefties didnt far as well to me.
most popular ball was the ultimate inferno, then the xxx fator
some were going with the ult dull-which was puking all over it self towards the end of 1st shift and second shift. If you had hand and had it dull, you should have been in their hands.
Question
when did himmler go to the 2 hand thing?
Its anmazing how much the lanes chenge in one set.
think about it. Each lane had 12 games on it(or pair 24). on a typical night a house shot get 15 and 30. We dont have to move like them-thats what make the tour so much harder.
also -if you grab it on tour-it only leads to major over under.
lot of 2-10's
thats all folks
