He seemed to be throwing the rock pretty slow. Especially the shot on the 3-6 spare that he chopped.

It looked like the right lane might have been a T road solid and the left a Rapid fire

It looked to me like Pete was intimidated by Jones' power and tried to match his hook to Tommy's.

pete started with a jolt pearl on the right lane and a gravity shift on the left lane....he later went to the jolt pearl on both lanes, then at the end of the match threw his rapid fire on both lanes....

The Thunderstruck does not have a deep purple PEARL cover and solid neon green engraving.  It was a Jolt Pearl, he went to a gravity shift and then a Rapid Fire at the end.

He said at the end he just played them wrong, he tried to play them like he did all week and didn't actually play what was out there.

I think Pete ran into the area Delutz and Walter was playing.  The ball did not project to the outside as well as it should have.

Yeah, I agree, I think Pete was having problems playing the same general midlane as Walter, Tommy D. and his own practice shots, it was just too messy when he got out there.

Tommy never had a problem because he was throwing it through their lines and out to his own breakpoint, much further out and down than those guys.  Their lines never had any effect on his ball reaction at all, so well played, that was a great show.
