Pete could have been throwing a ball with robot arms, nobody was beating TJ today.

When I saw his first shot, I pretty much knew it was over. Anytime he can wheel it right at 21+ MPH, he's gold. The only other person who can compete with him is Maximum Bob.

Awesome display today, fun to watch.

I think that Weber's problem is not with his physical game, but i believe its all mental from his previous two shows this season. I mean we are dealing with a 20+ year veteran to the sport who happens to be on of the most successful bowlers ever, his game isnt gonna just fall apart like that. He averages close to 250 all week, which leads me to think its all mental.

Im going to say that the fact that he preformed so poorly in his last two telecasts, with just bowling poorly and tripping over himself and fouling just got to his head and is freaking him out. I think its pretty difficult to go and average 250 for a week and then just suck, especially for someone of PDW's ability.

man Tommy was THROWING the ball hard. ringing 10 pins 6 was FLYING over the 10.
if he was throwing that hard all week I can't believe the shape he must be in.

does TJ put his thumb in 1st all the time or was that an adjustment or an illusion?

Nope. I think he was pretty far off in 2 major aspects: timing and release mostly. It really looked like he didn't want to be there.

Pete's lost his spark, his demeanor that has made him so successful on television. He's a different man and I don't think we'll see him win another title the way he is now.

Yet we saw him make the show and lead the pack up until the final match on a pattern that he has rarely had success on? I think you're barking up the wrong tree...

I don't think so, qualifying and the show are too different animals. You have to admit that he has carried himself differently this season then in the past, he looks nervous and uncomfortable out there and he has only looked good once or twice in the past 5-6 shows.

at the end of the match, pete said that instead of trying to play where he was all week he should havee played what was out there. so i dont think that speed was an issue for him.

another issue/s he seemed to be having trouble with was his foot speed and letting the ball off of his hand. he was falling out of a lot his shots.
--------------------

I do believe that is close to what Pete said. He almost looked like he was forcing the reaction he had during the week instead of adjusting quickly to what was left out there from the previous matches.

Either way, something doesn't seem with Pete this year on the show. The fire is not there and he's almost constantly in a state of loss with his reactions. Still has the best form on tour in my opinion. Even in his epic match with Rhino a few weeks back, he just didn't seem like the old PDW..

Is it me or are both PDW and WRW both getting frustrated a lot quicker on the shows. My g/f and I both discussed it, and it just seems like with these two being a couple of the elders out on tour, maybe age has something to do with it.

Parker even this year when he let a shot go that maybe he should have struck on, had a look of frustration, even when he was ahead in matches..

And I feel the only reason we didn't get the same reaction out of Norm at the world championships was because he was sick.. Cause when he asked for Tape he had a tone that was less than pleasant.

TJ puts thumb in first and twist it around to his fingers each time..Don't know why, but I sat and watched him bowl in person for a day and he did the same thing all day long..

Lately, Pete has looked like a man with a LOT on his mind. Almost seems distracted some of the time.

I think something is going on with Pete, either personally or professionally, that has him not being able to give his bowling 100% concentration and effort.

Whatever is causing it, I hope it is only small and temporary. While not Pete's biggest fan, he is great for the game and a very talented bowler, both of which make him good for me in the long run.
