@dsny11 It was sad to see that place go. The ladies pro bowlers tour held a stop in this bowling center in 1997 and it had been the first tine that the women professionals bowled a national event close to the big apple! The event was won by Carol Gianotti-Block.
Kinda new to bowling.. and im quickly figuring out Pete Webber is a bad bad man when it comes to the sport lol.. I enjoyed the vid thanks! Im headed to the alley in about an hour.. excited after this!
So i see. This past Wed. night at the local bowling alley, the last game i bowled a 223 with my 8 lb. bowling ball. =) See, i'm a straight thrower, i don't hook mine one bit. I start out in the middle and aim towards the front arrow, or the 3rd left or right arrow and the middle front one, and when i do that, my ball ( most of the time ), goes into the pocket. If i get a nervous feeling, my wrist will sometimes go "lazy" on me, and the ball misses the pocket.

I'm not new to bowling, but i am new to trying to throw a hook ball like Pete does. So, someone tell me, how do you properly throw a hook ball? I've thrown a straight ball & have been bowling since i was around 12 or 13, i'll be 30 in a few days from now. I've tried a hook ball a few times, but was unsuccessful about it. Do you flick your wrist somehow?....i'm very curious about it. It looks like the hook ball gets more strikes, versus the straight ball, towards the pocket.
@Sammydavisjrsr That's funny, I heard someone else talking about him doing the same thing about fifteen years ago. Thought they were joking at the time. Guess not.
jp v no. Local high average bowlers from the area won spots to compete in this tournament. These guys carry 228 average in their league. They Walked away shooting 170 after 8 games.
Awesome video...he was on fire this year after struggling the last 2 years before. Thanks for this post!
wow...great video....!!! This is like a time capsule....hard to believe this is more than 10 years ago
hard to believe this was 23 years ago
Hard to believe this was 27 years ago

Good home made vid...thanks. He shot the 7 pin spare from way left as well.
Check out the shot at 1:25. So pure. Great balance, timing and tension-free turn and leverage. Vintage PDW!

The place had just opened, the lanes were brand new and very lively.. i never had bowled on synthetic before.

this is awesome
@001GenLee don't break the wrist, keep your hand behind the ball...notice the thing on pete's wrist that helps with it
At 6:05, is that Bo Burton?
Who do you think you are? I AM!!!
Why does Ricky Ward still have a mullet in 1997?
Was that Robert Lawrence at the 1:47-1:48 mark??
Wodka has a "WTF" look, lol
@Sammydavisjrsr That's funny, I heard someone else talking about him doing the same thing about fifteen years ago. Thought they were joking at the time. Guess not.
Yeah,Ricky Ward thought it was easy shooting a 168
Very. Looks like a house shot.
Adrian Anderson not even close.
The best have a way of making most shots look like house.
@IveGotYourChange I agree with you. More oil would be a great thing,, Problem is people would rather shot a 260 and lose.
Is the Jr at end? 6:07
toscodav yes. NB Jr.
I guess he was full time on tour by this time since ABC just dropped bowling the year of this video.
i don't think pdw is afraid of oil
Pete has at least 5 boards room for error
not easy at all... the pros just make it look easy because they're that good
holy 0:50
is it a house shot

man is he far left!
Sports Plus was a rather tacky and poorly-maintained facility, but I could see a LOT of potential if they would have simply kept it up to speed.
Not sure why they have AMF Pinspotters when everything is Brunswick
@mrtvmankiller01 well not for you, with your insane amount of revolutions.
0:47 thats not hard
easy oil...
Sia Baltcamp lol. High average amateurs all left after 8 games averaging 170.
