Awesome win. Rooted for him all the way.

What's the deal with the Storm bowlers using high-performance pieces as spare balls? Osku's IQTPearl and Doughy's IQTour?

Lack of plastic on the truck? Osku doesn't need plastic when he normally throws 25+ mph at the corners and I'm not certain that Tom was using an IQ Tour.

Hey not to sound like a dick coach but who cares what they throw at there spares i throw the same ball at mine just flatten out my hand. We had this same conversation last year when Mike Fagan through his 811 at a spare. I did not care what he was throwing then and I don't care what they're throwing now. if you pick up your spare who cares.

Do you see me complaining? Obviously, there're ways to convert spares with reactives. I just got a Taboo Spare, which saves me the chore of flattening my Hot Sauce Pearl at spares. Just curious, because in every avenue of bowling, coaches and bowlers heavily recommend the spare ball.
That layout on Tom's IQ Tour was odd, and I guess it allows for a weaker reaction. So, to each their own.

I'll tell you, he made the moves and had the right game plan all along with slower speed and lofting the gutter by the end.  At least he will now be known as something other than "that 100 game on tv bowler."

Daugherty is good people? FAIL. I met him at a regional in Florida, what a tool bag he is. One of the most classless bowlers I have ever come across in my entire life. he is a dick to players and fans as well. I hope I never have to watch him ever again.

I have to be honest I bowled in the South region years ago and had the same impression of TD.  Sometimes people can change as I was told he's calmed down his attitude these past few years.  Parenthood can do that to us....

Glad to see him shake off that last performance and bowl well today.

Also have to admit I had the same impression of him after today.  After he made one of his splits, he screams "Take that!"  I wasnt sure of that was aimed at Belmo after Belmo made his big split at the start of that match.  My initial thought was "What a jackass".  Everyone gets a little amped at times.  I get that.  Then, when he was doing the interview at the end of the show, he made the comment that he made sure that the lanes were going to be difficult for everyone else.  Wonder if that is why Belmo and Osku decided to play the outside when usually they might have played in deeper.  Either way.....I wasnt any more a fan of TD after the show as I was before it.

I can imagine he's abrasive because of his critics who pick apart his style. Plus, TD's a bowler, and bowlers have some of the worst personalities I've come across. But, his win was strategic at the right times, and he took down everyone from the four-spot position.

Why was Brunswick Sterner using a Storm spare ball, isn't that a conflict of interest? He was wearing a Brunswick jersey.

He's not on staff with B'wick....he can throw/wear whatever he chooses.  He probably got incentive money from B'wick for using a strike ball produced by them.  Not really sure they care what he's throwing at what's left.

I just want to clarify that I am saying my impression of TD is from almost 10 years ago...and again I have come to understand he has changed quite a bit since those days.  I think judging him based on how he acted on TV trying to earn a living would be unfair.  There are lots of guys that rub people the wrong way on TV but are pretty great guys off the lanes (Shafer).

I thought TD was a little classless when he decided to place another ball on the rack when Sterner was lined up on the approach in the 10th.  TD didn't shutout Sterner, so sit back and let him bowl. Sterner punches out in the 10th, TD goes home and no need for that ball. I guess there isn't any "official" rule on doing that, just my opinion.

I think it would have been a tie if Sterner had struck out, so TD was going to bowl more one way or the other.  But I agree it was out of place.  Let the guy finish his frame then take your next action.

Oh who cares what he yells, it doesn't matter. You cannot tell me you wouldn't yell if you were in his spot. I like the fact that he won stick it up is critics a@#. I don't care if he is a prick or not. Alot of bowlers are dicks or can be dicks on the lanes, if you are honest i am sure you may find you have been a prick to others on the lanes too. We all are human have bad and good days rub people the right or wrong way.

He will always be the 100 game PBA bowler.  That poor and lousey performance will be remembered more than his 1st title win.
