Today's telecast was fun to watch, and I agree I thought it was informational the way he was explaining his equipment. Too bad Walter Ray didn't do the same thing with his equipment.
Watch out, Barnes has room to grab the spotlight away from Big Wes

I honestly don't think that every bowler can!! Every bowler isn't as technical as Chris Barnes is and might not be able to communicate their gameplan as clearly. But it would be cool if their ball rep could speak on it for them.
As far as the format, I liked it. If Strike Pass would invest in some better cameras for strike pass then you could get this every week
then maybe get interviews with players as to where they are playing and ball selection and what not. That way the info that Randy gets during the week we will have too but for every player, not just those that make the show.Dang, PBA needs to gimme a job!! LMAO

It was a great job by Chris Barnes today, not only coming back from early disaster, but to never give up.

I'm under the impression that Walter doesn't use different drillings. Everything is pretty much drilled the same ball to ball and he makes his adjustments the old fashioned way - with his feet, ball speed and release.

No, he isnt a cranker---but he makes things work for him.
A side note---I like that Barnes beat someone who averaged 230 on the show. Thats good. Im just waiting for that "3 strikes to win" situation though. If it happens next week---Ill be honest---Im not betting against him right now.
--------------------
Chris Barnes is not a choker---he is just a great opponent to draw on TV.

i agree. did you see wrw after it started transitioning he moved 1 board then a few shots he lofted it more and then took more hand out then had to split boards more than he already was just so he could still play up 5. people that keep saying he can hook it are full of crap

I call BS on this. I've seen him hook the lane. I've been on the pair next to him when he averages 225+ for 15 games standing in front of the ball return. Walter is as one dimensional as a cube.

He made 4 tvs and has 1 win this year at age 49.
Thats enough said. I would bet money that jones, simard, smith, and all the other power players will not be on tour past 40 let alone 49.
You want a high rev power player fine, but dont complain when they are burnt out and used up, and guys like duke and walter are still winning a few years from now.

Dude I hate WRW, but your dead wrong. He can hook it as well as anyone, but his rev rate rarely allows him to. You don't win that much and make that many shows only doing 1 thing your entire career.

I missed this show and really wish I didn't, I'm glad Barnes won and that he's doing better on TV right now.

Walter Ray is just so one dimensional with his game. If he loses his carry on that down and in shot he is cooked. Did anyone else here him talk about starting to use a two handed release? He is practicing it because he knows he can't hook it. My grandpa would spin in his grave if he sees Walter throw a two hander on tv.
One dimensional my azz.... You don't win the most tournaments in PBA tour history by being one dimensional....
