It was my impression from what was said that it was a professional photographer whose camera flashed. If so, he certainly should have known better and deserved the chewing out he got from Pete and hopefully will get more grief from the PBA staff.

I think you have to give him a break. This was a special tournament for him and obviously, he wanted to win it very bad. He tried too hard and sometime tonight he will realize that he could have handled the camera person in a more professional manner because at the time the match was over. When winning is everything, unfortunatley your brain tends to take some time off.
the match was and wasn't over.. he needed 9 in 2 balls and with the reaction he was having i could have forseen a 46710 or worse, but with that toss and getting 9 then it was over. that is where Pete had to do what he did to prevent it from happening in the next match.
Its to bad that to get a pay check from storm he was throwing a ball that was way too much. So much for the "latest and greatest" a ball rep for him (or anyone he would listen to) should have got him to change balls and not just to a diff drilling
I cant think of the last time Pete won this tournament (i think once if ever) and again WRW took him to the boards. Not sure why it happens to PDW when against WRW but he needs to find the answer.

Was there a flash? (Anyone who has this recorded should be able to see it clearly happenning) I thought it was a noize or was it that monitor. WRW was having trouble with the monitor in the upper left corner when it was switching camera angles. I wonder if this is what Pete was getting upset about and blamed the photographer by mistake.

Actually. Yes. It was the ball choice plain and simple. Ever try to play 5th arrow with a pin down drilling on a dull solid coverstock? The ball loses energy fast and has nothing left for the backend to carry corner pins. Then, enter Fagan. Shiny pearl cover, pin OVER his middle finger. He had way more room at the breakpoint then PDW playing a similar part of the lane and his carry % was wayyy better. If PDW tightened his line and got out to where Oneill was too quickly, the ball checked up at 30 feet. He moved inside and the ball labored on the back BADLY. It was ball choice my friend and it was horrible. If he threw the Reign, it would have been a different story.

This was evidenced even more if you look at Ryan Shafer's ball of choice...a Virtual Energy?!?!?!? WTF is up with that??? He should never even consider picking up that ball...EVER! Did it not seem as though the ball was overreacting? Ya think??? Maybe a less aggressive ball would have helped? DUH!
Schlemmer should know better....match the ball to the pro and let them make the BRAND look good...forget about the individual ball model...make the brand look good and then putt he model choice in the pro shop guys' hands to pick the right ball Storm ball for Joe Bowler.
Am I wrong or would a Hyroad/Reign or Fast/Furious have been better choices for either of the Storm guys yesterday?
C-300 had a fit when David Ozio wanted to use a Blue Dot in the finals at the Mechanicsburg Open one year (he threw it all week and led the field by 500 pins)
Brunswick execs. had a coronary when Brad Angelo was using a Powergroove on TV the other year.
Remember when Walter Ray won a title using a Maxim a few years back?
Personally I think it's a feather in the cap for the manufacturer...."Hey, look at that! Our guy used one of our mid-price balls to whoop up on their guy and he was using their high end ball. Guess our mid-price stuff performs better than their expensive stuff eh?" The fact that it isn't 100% that simple is another story but it makes for great press :-)

Maybe the shot played tighter in practice before the show than it did all week? (Remember, the shot never plays the same on Sunday as it does the rest of the week. Heck, it never plays the same on Friday as it does on Thursday according to everything I've ever read!) If that's the case, they probably all liked the reaction they got with stronger equipment in practice. But after they burned up the lanes, they started to create an over/under look, and yet they didn't really feel confident changing balls? I wouldn't just immmediately put this one on Schlemer wanting his staffers to throw the new strong stuff.

Pete Weber has ALWAYS bowled better with lower level equipment....remember his days with AMF and the Bobcat?
Ryan Shafer also typically does better with rollier, less aggressive equipment (i.e. Tourpower, Tidalwave Wipeout solid, Shock Trauma).
The point here is the fact that the balls these guys had in their hands were not the ones for the shot. Pete's showing did nothing to improve the public appeal of the Invasion. The Mission looked like wayyyyyy better of a ball in Fagan's hands.
I would think that both Storm and Chris Schlemmer would be able to predict the fact that the lanes would break down and that both Pete and Ryan were going to have problems.
If it was a dictate by Storm to use the balls they did, shame on Storm for not knowing the strengths of their "employees".
If Schlemmer made the call, shame on him for not thinking ahead and playing the "what if?" transition game.
If the balls chosen were the choices of the bowlers then shame on them for not knowing their own games and the equipment capabilities.

Apparently the manufacturers are indeed pushing the "make the brand look good, not the ball" mentality these days.
I remember the day when Norm Duke was with Columbia and Bryan Goebel was with Ebonite. The finals that day featured the Beast vs the Gyro Pro...a battle of who could win with the least expensive ball. Gotta love it.....
Again my apologies to the Storm faithfuls for the bad information...it appears the bowling business may have a chance afterall...

Binky, If Pete stayed with this ball too long, I can believe there was a reason...
If your company has just brought out a new ball, the last thing they probably want to see is you using an older model...
I remember when Barnes was with Brunswick... He hardly ever used their current ball... He was using some extremely weak entry level ball...
That didn't help sales for their new high end releases....
And since the bowlers using Ebonite's new Mission don't seem to be having a problem with it, I can see why Storm MAY have wanted him to stay with the Invasion....
And are you saying that companies don't push their new releases...
Where you from....

Camera's can pick up how it see's light frequancies. I don't know if you've ever seen a news telecast and see them flashing or have a dark bar scrolling on the monitor, that's because the camera is picking up the 60hz. (how many time's the screen refreshes in a second) LED Light is much slower, so while it look's like the scoreboard is turning off/then on during the bowler's approach, it's really not. I've been to several PBA TV Final's and seen this scoreboard, it stay's on the entire time.

To answer your question about why I am not on Tour, it is because my kids need more more than the Tour does. I made decisions in my life years ago that I have to deal with. Being able to spend time with my kids will give me way more excitement than the Tour would ever give me.

The incentive money is peanuts. A lot of the companies are starting to care less about the ball used, but focused on getting the W.
People talk all the time about how Brunswick forces bowlers to use balls. Ive chatted with Rick Benoit here and there, he doesnt force any B ball on any player. The win is the important prize.
Schlemmer is the same way, he doesnt force balls on players. They all believe in Storms line up and the ability of Chris Schlemmer.

Actually he does....Ok lets review what balls have been used over the last 6 weeks....
The Pure Swing, Evil Siege, The Mission, The Invasion, The Total Bedlam, The Reign of Fire, the Break Out, The Jigsaw Corner...
And all of these balls are new releases...
Now why is that.....I firmly believe that in some cases, the Ball companies do want their new product used on TV...
I still remember when Barnes was with Brunswick... He won using a 2 year old purple DQ entry level ball.... And won,,, However that did nothing, nothing at "tall" for any of their new line of balls, at that time...
So yes, I do believe they want to see their staffers using their new products...
Seeing Pete with the Invasion is probably better then seeing him throw a Triple X....
So yes, I think he does indeed know what he is talking about...

It is a simple question, buy Dinky has no answer, so all he does is bash...
And then he must have called you to come on and help him...
I took the time to clearly point out that ball companies do not benefit when an old DQ ball is used... The Barnes example many years ago...
But dinky can't address that, and all he is capable of doing is posting stupid talk...
Now maybe you would like to address that...
Why are JUST ABOUT all the PRO'S on TV USING the LATEST RELEASES...
Is it because they match up to the shot.... Or could it be that it makes good BUSINESS sense to have their new releases seen on TV...
Especially since many of their old models are out of production...
Now I don't know you, but I do know that Dinky is not able to address the topic...
He would rather just attack people in the business...

Thats not a "new release".. At the rate these balls are being pumped out its about retired.
How can throwing the Invasion in the match against WRW show how good the ball is. To me it looked like a turd.
why on earth would he be throwing the latest "hook monster" when a VE or Regin would have been better.
The mission isn't a "heavy oil ball" and look what it did. (2 shows in a row).
either PDW had something to try and prove (to himself or what), he ws going to get an extra pay check, or he has lost the what it takes to make a good ball choice for the tv shows. shomewhere it was said he threw a regin in the earier (no tv) rounds. If it worked then why not for tv....

As for calling Doug ignorant, I don't think he was trying to say it in a demeaning way, he just chose poor wording, I think he was trying to say that without personally talking to someone with a said company, one shouldn't make general assumptions, but it's ok, I think he and Doug cleared the air on that one.
I don't actually post on here as much as I would like because it seems that many are not too keen on constructive criticism, even when said politely, and for the most part if someone doesn't see something perfectly like someone else, a war of words ensues, I think if everyone here just took the time to read what everyone thinks, and takes it in and thinks about it, whether they agree or not, we can all provide constructive advice, and learn a lot more.

either PDW had something to try and prove (to himself or what), he ws going to get an extra pay check, or he has lost the what it takes to make a good ball choice for the tv shows. shomewhere it was said he threw a regin in the earier (no tv) rounds. If it worked then why not for tv....
Sir, the Mission is for med heavy to heavy oil...2000 a pad oob...
And maybe the success the ball had the last two shows had some bearing on why he used the Invasion...
The Invasion is Storm's new Oil ball....And to my knowledge, had not made a show..... Until Pete uses it... At least, I had not seen it used...
Now two weeks ago, all the hype was on the new Storm release, the Invasion...
But since the Mission has won 2 straight events... The hype on the Invasion has cooled down... And the hype on the Mission is at an all time high....
Now this person Dinky, seems to feel that Pete Weber is an idiot when it comes to bowling... Yes he may be cocky... But I think he does know how to bowl...
And for whatever reason, he did use the Invasion...
I think what Doug and myself are saying is, yes it could be possible Storm wanted the exposure for this new release... Especially since the Mission is being used on the same shot......
This dinky person once again has clearly shown his age... that be 9...

Upon edit, yes the Mission has huge hype right now, especially with how good Kelly made it look at the TOC, also Ebonite has been on the fade recently with the success of Malott and Storm/Roto in general on tour, but I think it''s good for Ebonite that may have a new great ball like the original One was, pending longevity of course which has yet to be determined.

I didn't actually see the show this week, so I can't say how the Invasion looked, but just speaking from knowing how PDW likes to play the lanes (inside) I think the Invasion was probably a poor choice, expecially on a TV pair which breaks down faster and differently. Now, I base this on what I have seen in person from the Invasion, that is, a smoother rolling asym ball, which when playing the inside, eh idk, would one not want a little more skid/flip ( Reign ). Idk Like I said I can't personally say, and I will say yes PDW knows how to bowl, he's on tour, I am not, but he is kind of a D-Bag, and I personally don't like him much, but to each his own, right?

Sir, I can't argue with that... I don't Like Barnes for much of the same reasons... But I do know Barnes can bowl...He's not an idiot... He did have a problem adjusting last week.. But that does not mean he can't bowl....
Now more then likely Pete had the Invasion polished, much like Mika had the Mission polished, and more then likely so did Fagan...
And since both new releases are similar, I can't see why anyone would think that Pete was using the wrong ball...Maybe the results were not good... But The Mission seemed to work...
To me, it could have been poor adjustments....
But once again... Go back about 6 shows... Most of the balls used were new releases... That right there should tell you that the ball companies want them on the show.... Otherwise, they would not be used...
Dinky is nothing but a child trying to act like a man...
He's a sad little poor excuse for a human.....
BTW, how many titles does Pete have again.....

Hey jl you must have really made an impression on Binky as he chaged his screen name and you are part of his new name. I wonder if he dreams about you at night or maybe even in the day time

All that's ok, it's cool... He screwing around... He dishes it out, but he can take it... And He doesn't cry IGGY LIST... He's cool...
I do indeed see his point. But I do really believe that it was and is in the best interest of any ball company to have their latest releases on the show...
And I for sure can understand why he dislikes Pete... Kinda Sorta the same reasons I dislike Barnes....
Now they are both Great bowlers... It's their attitudes that I think we both dislike... For Blinky, it's Pete, and for me, it's Barnes..
Now the Missions should be hitting the door shortly...So I will be busy getting caught up...
Also just took 2 orders for the Invasion...
Could be a busy day....Talk to you later
take care guys

I know Mr. Pacman Ghost.... He and I are good pals, and to anyone who thinks negatively, he is a fine bowler and competes at the regional level. He is also very knowledgeable and generally a very friendly, decent chap, however, it would appear jls attacked first, thus inciting the thread this has become, that's all, thanks.

I know he's your friend and he's a good guy and all that, but he was attacking right from the start, before jls even arrived on the scene...
