Seem so boring? It seems like there is no life or enthusiasm in anything. This season I have been pretty bored watching telecast. I haven't read spoilers or anything I look foward to every season but this season I feel I can actually miss a Sunday of bowling and wouldn't search youtube or classics for it. Is it just more or what?

Im gonna catch some negativity for this BUT I believe the shot may be to hard for tv. Well not hard but this surface is quite honestly just causing havoc. I mean a street rod pearl, natural, and cool noize on scorpion. Now for the drama thing. While yes tough lane conditions may show who the better bowler is on that given day it also shreds the chance of drama. When a match is close it''s not really about who will step up and WIN it. But who will linger around and stay in it til the other person screws up. Who thought people were gonna step up and go pack pack pack to win anything today? Yes I know it has happened. Devaney''s clutch double and Ronnie Russell last week and then O''Neill after that. Who thought that was the most exciting part of the whole world series so far? I did. and why is that. People stepped up and WON a dang title. They didnt just stay clean and watch the other person miss (albeit not by much with these lane condidtions) Yes if Im bowling out there I would like difficult conditions and its exciting however, honest to god if I''m watching bowling I wanna believe that a person can step up and make real good shots not perfect shots and strike out to win or something like that.

Just think, whats more exciting someone stepping up and needed a double to win when scores are like 180 - 190 (meaning a double is highly unlikely) or someone needed one or two hits with a little bit of room. You believe anything can happen, ring ten maybe a solid 8 (Randy Pedersen anybody? one of the most popular videos of all time). Thats where the big moments come from. Hope someone sees what I''m trying to convey here but all you have to ask yourself to realize there was little drama was, did you forsee someone stepping up and making 3 perfect shots to win a match, did u believe that it could happen? And if you believe that the 10th frame between Russell and O''Neill was the best part on TV yet this season then I believe you need to agree with me lol. Just my opninion guys. Sorry for the long post.

Exactly but think about how those reactions are made. Scores were pretty decent on that show and you expect him to atleast put it in the pocket so it allows for the ultimate screw job haha. While today if you get up and leave something its like ok whew no split. Devaney put it best after saying "I was just trying to get 9" I believe low scores are good for the majors cause the wins are so much more important and it can get very dramatic when nobody can seem to find a line and people are putting EVERYTHING out there and going for broke.

Were you bowling on a "flat" PBA pattern or a walled up THS?

Both,I bowled a US open qualifier there about 4-5 years ago.

Those are original Anvilanes, with I would imagine a million frames on them. Reminds me of how the NBS in Reno must have been before they replaced them.

While recognizing that the THS is not the PBA patterns I have noticed that on the houses where I bowl, the more difficult the lanes are the greater the chance that the average players will beat the better players - Lady luck plays a much bigger part in the win.

I like it being difficult. Last week was a little much, but seeing O'neill get up and "pure" that first one in the tenth was great. Today, Devaney searched and struggled both matches and was able to strike enough to win. Like he said "190 is a good game on this pair". I will be happier when the shows are live.

Funny. The PBA "in the Bag" says he was using even a milder ball, the Hot Rod Pearl, a red and silver and black pearlized ball.

But I think that color combination was the Street Rod Pearl.

i enjoyed the women only. i am glad devaney won but the tough combo of pattern and worn synthetics is blah to watch at best. and i have to say their spare shooting leaves alot to be desired. it makes them look like (cue up party at scroggies) house bowlers. it appears the young crop of bowlers now don't believe in the need for spare shooting technique. i don't call throwing advertisement viz-a-ball at 25 mph spare shooting technique. that is spray and pray.

Im surprised by the missed spares. It is boring after a while watching them struggle on a fresh PBA shot that they normally bowl on. I get that the lanes are different from some other places, but they have had to seen this before else where. (im guessing)

It is difficult to watch the show--too many shots are repeated, and from what
week? It is hard to know what is live. Also too much crap (Rob Stone in the
basement) and live shots have to be repeated after commercials. I wonder who
the producers are. Terrible shows.

To me the shows are very boring and the saddest part of the whole show is watching a PROFESSIONAL throw a plugged ball on tv, absolutely embarassing. Apparently DeVaney went back to a normal grip from the sarge easter. Couldn't he get a new ball? just my opinion

I don't think it matters WHAT the PBA does with or about their telecasts, you whiny-azz bowlers will still find something wrong with it...

JOE FALCO · « **Reply #29 on:** November 30, 2009, 09:56:18 AM »

Never stopped to think about it .. learned something new .. didn't know PLUGGED BALLS were acceptable on the PBA Tour!That could be a big PLUS or a PLUG (no pun intended) for BOWLING BALL RE-SALES.
