I love watching Norm bowl. After rolling a game with him at Hollywood bowl in Portland Oregon, I worked hard to emulate the impressive forward roll he put on the ball. What a great bowler and even greater sportsman.
Norm is just metronomic. I wish I could bowl even 1% as consistently as he does. And what a cover in game 1 to fill the 10th! A true legend of the game, and a great sportsman, too.
Norm seems to be a very cool person to know. He's a great coach toooooo! Got some great advice in his videos. Badger oil pattern 52 feet!!! I need to try it. Norm said it best, strike or go home. Strikes are better.
Norm was just as cool back when he still bowling in Mt Pleasant, Tx. at Dukes Lanes. Always has had a magnetic personality, it runs in his family. I know them all, and of course, I knew his dad, Dave, as well. His mom is one sweetheart of a lady, his brother Micah, is also someone, anyone would wanna hang out with too. Norm surprised me one afternoon. I went out to get the mail out of our mailbox & inside was a smal USPS mailer box & it had a return address in Clermont, Fl. I immediately knew who had mailed it to me. I waited until I was in the house, I called over my wife to come check this out, because I told my wife I thought it was from my long time, home-town, friend, pro bowler Norm Duke. She, being skeptical of everything I did or said, she lets out a uh-huh, sure it is. Then says, quit lying, you don't know him. A few weeks later, I talked to Norm about pranking my wife. Knowing she was answering the phones in our fam's rv resort, I got Norm to call the office. It took her a few seconds to realize it was really Norm Duke calling & asking for me by name. So, I hit the speaker button, so my father-n-law & mom-n-law could listen too. I knew Norm was busy on tour so we talked a minute or two then sadly, it was time to hang up. That was the first time in almost 30 yrs, since last talking to Norm. Nowadays, we do like the rest of the world, I see him online, remembering his 'down-time' is his free time, so I'll drop him a quick howdy Norm, to let him know, an old voice from his past is still trying to keep up with him. I've never even seen photos of his wife Karen or his son Brandon, but, I know they gotta be good people too, if they're with good ole Norm. He will always be a class act in my book !!! Love to watch him do those trick shots, like his speciality trick shot, using a towel !! Yeppers, a towel !! Search on youtube.com for it, I can only shake my head in wonderment. What he lacks in height, he makes up for it in sportsmanship & class ! Proud to call my friend, Mr Norm Duke, my friend !! I predict 2020 is a year for 'Dukeness !'
You prolly dont care but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
+Sole Purpose You probably won't believe me because most people don't, but Norm's son Brandon bowls league with me saturday morning and Norm is in the center helping kids every weekend he's town. He is by far the most knowledgeable bowler I've ever spoken to and he helps me with my game every week. He's all around a great guy on and off the lanes.
I met him and Petraglia a couple years ago at a Sr. tourney in LV. I asked them how much fun it was in Portland, Me.bowling in front of all those Maniacs. They laughed and said they had a great time.
@@jeffhodge7272 that’s so awesome, I had the honor to bowl with Petraglia when I was twelve (Petraglia and Duke are my all time favs) in a pro am at Carolier lanes in NJ, 2006. As scared as I was, Something about bowling with Johnny made me feel such at ease and wound up shooting a 258 with my favorite pro at such a young age. He took a bunch of pics with me, signed them, and signed a Brunswick bowling pin that I have on top of my guitar amp. Bowling with him was one of the greatest days of my entire life. What an honor.
Speaking of the 8-10 split at 11:10, I actually made that split by barely hitting the 8 pin on its left side and the pin barely fell over and rolled into the 10 pin, knocking it over. Not sure if I could do it on national television, but whatever... lol
I made it once ever, and I unfortunately leave it a lot on a pocket shot. I know it's my entry point though. I made it by just skimming the left side of the 8 pin, and it tipped to the left, sliding over the the 10, and the bottom of the 8 pin is what hit the 10 to slowly knock it over. :-)
Tight 3 board break for Duke. Super bowling for both. I wonder if Belmonte ever threw a straight first ball. He is not a down and in bowler. His ball is like a frisby in results. Both of these guys will excell
Was this on the badger pattern? Cause I understand that pattern has a lot of carry down and the bowlers have to go more straight into the pocket or have slower speeds with their revs involved.
I have picked up the BIG 4 twice by shooting at it like Norm... sliding the 6 pin over. The six pin slides vertically and then it falls. Finally, it spins between the 4 and 7 taking them out. I've also picked the 4-6 and 7-9 by sliding the right pin into the other.
I noticed people mooo-ing while applauding to Norm (or while Norm's ball is on the way). As far as I know, that mooo sound is connected with unsympathies and I noticed it in some other games, where Norm played and never for other players. What is the reason for that?
I have played on similar pattern..It's too much work to get strikes..Speed and Angle need to be perfect to get strikes..Easy to get big splits..Only concession is that, Spares are comfortable to make..Do not go fast on this pattern! Not good!
I love watching Belmonte lose. The only reason that he wins is his 600 revolutions per minute buzz ball. Lets face it, you don't need a lot of accuracy to scatter the pins with a ball like that. I see drunk league bowlers muscle the ball straight down the lane and overpower the pins. The oil pattern doesn't matter when you can overcome it with that many revs.
If it takes no talent or brains to do what Belmonte does, than why don't you do it and win a PBA Championship? Just throw it hard and eliminate oil patterns and overcome your lack of skill.

Norm is an absolute class act. That’s what the game is all about. As great as he is, I can’t stand guys like Pete Weber. Duke is king.
You prolly dont care but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Carl Gunner Instablaster :)
Norm Duke a perfect example of a gentleman and Sportsman.
Great for the sport all around!
Norm duke my favorite bowler. Good sport all around and just very fundamentally sound. No wasted motions in any of his actions.
+Sole Purpose Keeping it simple as always. And still proving that the straight down and in ball can still win the trophy.
+Soapstreet and he is a very smart bowler. He knows exactly what to do

Southeast Sole
+Southeast Sole What alley and town is this at?
Every time I see Norm Duke, I want to give him a big bear hug.
That's why Norm is a Hall of Famer!
My favorite "Bowler" Norm Duke.
Norm Duke is simply consistent with his straight approach.
Crazy match between Chris Loschetter and Norm Duke 41:39.
I would love to meet Norm Duke and bowl with him.
I met him and Petraglia a couple years ago at a Sr. tourney in LV.
I asked them how much fun it was in Portland, Me.bowling in front of all those Maniacs.
They laughed and said they had a great time.

Norm is brutal.
THEY NEED TO BRING PBA BOWLING BACK TO ANTENNA TV 📺 , ESPECIALLY DURING JANUARY AND FEBRUARY!!!

Randy Pederson has the best quotes. "No badjers were hurt today" and " putting braces on dentures".
Keeps fit and dresses neat, too. A disciplined guy.
Who’s watching this in 2019
I'm watching it in 2023
2024
I don’t know I’m watching in 2024 lol
Duke is like..."hold my beer!"
I wonder what song that is playing at the beginning of the show?
What ‘s the name of the song on :030 seconds of this video?
Tight 3 board break for Duke. Super bowling for both. I wonder if Belmonte ever threw a straight first ball. He is not a down and in bowler. His ball is like a frisby in results. Both of these guys will excell
7:50 after "come on Norman" strikes are better Norman.
interesting that on such a long oil pattern that Loschetter and Duke are both using pearl bowling balls.
I try to imitate Norm. I even throw the same balls.
wow amazing between Duke and Loschetter.. totally even (and even the same pins left in each frame!) for the front 8 frames LOL
Yeah. That was funny. Lol. That's the first time that I saw that happened and I have watched a lot of the PBA on TV for the past several years.
It is now the power, the hook or whatever, the bottom line is it is the actions/movement of the pins.
tell us about the big four 10 more times, please
Who's the guy at 27:14 sitting behind Duke with the hand prints on his shirt?
WOOF!
Jeff Bear a man/person
Talk about grinding it out. The Badger is the toughest of the Animal patterns.
Was this on the badger pattern? Cause I understand that pattern has a lot of carry down and the bowlers have to go more straight into the pocket or have slower speeds with their revs involved.
Badger 52Ft
Sports, Video Games, Vlogs and Randomness do TX x XY chi XY x
I never saw two bowlers match each other shot for shot so exactly so many times unless every shot was a strike.
Amazing 😍
10:10 Nice Shot, Man!
seems like a demanding oil pattern
+Leon Tan Yeah considering the hook is VERY minimal and room for error is small....I'd say so! >.
at 29 minutes when belmo is bowling, theres a woman in the back with red hair who is asleep.
Lol
I have picked up the BIG 4 twice by shooting at it like Norm... sliding the 6 pin over. The six pin slides vertically and then it falls. Finally, it spins between the 4 and 7 taking them out. I've also picked the 4-6 and 7-9 by sliding the right pin into the other.
I picked up the 8-10 with a back-up ball on normal league night
I noticed people mooo-ing while applauding to Norm (or while Norm's ball is on the way). As far as I know, that mooo sound is connected with unsympathies and I noticed it in some other games, where Norm played and never for other players. What is the reason for that?
+Lukáš Řádek It's note a moo sound, they are saying - Duuuuuuuuuke! :)
+Stoffe N yes!!! it got on my mind after a while as a possible explanation :)... but really (not being a native speaker) I cannot distinguish that :)
they are saying Duuuuuuuke...
Mooooo
@Lukas Radek. No. The fans are saying Norm Duke's last name and they're stretching the "u" in his name. That happens quite often.
Love the woman falling asleep in the background meanwhile i would love this lol
Chris Barnes looks like a average dad
Walter Ray vs Patrick Allen
다른건 몰라도 머리 숱 위너.......
Stressed him about the wedding lol missed two pins
20‘09“：太準了，保齡球練到這樣已達化境
I have played on similar pattern..It's too much work to get strikes..Speed and Angle need to be perfect to get strikes..Easy to get big splits..Only concession is that, Spares are comfortable to make..Do not go fast on this pattern! Not good!
great ball this smack down baying this now 206 alredy
sven sweden
Brilliant Performance!
Wait hold up Randy Peterson said these two have never met up on TV before (belmo and Duke) and I find this lol. The PBA needs to get it right lol
Joshua slosser it’s from 2013 dumbass
This ain't an official PBA title.
Straighter is greater
Belmo!!!!!
Wow Jake Peters tour rep was absolutely abysmal! I'd let him go like, he couldn't be arsed to do his job.
Del Ballard Jr isn't just a "tour rep," he was a force back in the day.
@@mmaxon888 Del Ballard is not his tour rep he's not even with Storm dude
Norm Duke: 220
Jake Peters: 190
Norm Duke: 258
Jason Belmonte: 226
Norm Duke: 207
Chris Loschetter: 205
Norm Duke: 222
Chris Barnes: 213
Duke Wins!
Thomas McCarrick why do you do this
What an asshole
2019 anyone?
7 yrs. later Duke will referre to Belmonte as the best ever.
Sometimes Randy is just 100% annoying...
The proud tip consequentially stuff because atom feraly radiate afore a well-to-do period. fuzzy , domineering engine
Go go Duke! My fav bowler to watch. :3
David ozio vs Bob learn jr.
the video bowling match of David ozio versus Paul learn learn jr. play it
Bellmo is not a proper bowler.
WSMDSA what do You mean? He's prob wagon more national titles than u
I love watching Belmonte lose. The only reason that he wins is his 600 revolutions per minute buzz ball. Lets face it, you don't need a lot of accuracy to scatter the pins with a ball like that. I see drunk league bowlers muscle the ball straight down the lane and overpower the pins. The oil pattern doesn't matter when you can overcome it with that many revs.
pfretman it actually does matter because ur not gonna stand all the way left and throw it all the way out to the right on the badger
If it's your job to knock down pins then what is the problem? Why does is matter how it is done?
If it takes no talent or brains to do what Belmonte does, than why don't you do it and win a PBA Championship? Just throw it hard and eliminate oil patterns and overcome your lack of skill.
