I think Norm Duke is officially the GOAT. he’s been too good for too long, his longevity puts him over the top imo. He’s 55 and still making finals in the PBA
Love to see Kyle Troup in a throwback jersey, going back to the same design as the Motiv Jersey he wore when he won his first PBA title, which was also the Wolf open several years ago
Being a family man has really calmed Rash down and given him more focus. He has always been talented but too often you can see him letting his emotions get ahead of him in the big moments. This was a really good tournament for him. He stepped up and beat some really strong bowlers. Troupe, Dude and Simonson are all heavy hitters who hardly ever give you an opening. BTW, Sarah Rash still looks hot, lol.
I really enjoy watching Norm Duke bowl! He plays the game with a positive spirit and doesn't wallow in his bowling mistakes! Thanks Norm for being a fair and trust worthy player!
I hate the camera angles, plus FloBowling needs to upgrade their quality. I mean the show's alright because I like bowing in general, but there are so many factors that need to be improved. I feel like Fox does a lot better of a job then Flo does.
Agreed. The camera should always be from behind the bowler so that you can see the ball's path down the lane. If you watch PBA50 tournaments, most of the shots are taken from the side so you just see the delivery and then the ball hitting the pins, and you have no idea whether the ball will be light, flush, or high as it travels down the lane. Seems that they should understand such a basic thing, that viewers would want to be able to follow a shot as it goes down lane, but I guess they feel that a side view is what we want. Go figure.
I also wish that, on ALL the telecasts (FS1 on down) that commentators would explain that the urethane balls of today have bigger and more dynamic cores than the old Hammers and Angle's of the 1980's. :)
Some do, some don't. The Pitch Black has a weak core and does not flare at all. Chris even mentions this. The Hammer Black Widow Urethane and the Roto Grip Hot Cell flare an insane amount, and neither would have been at all usable on a pattern like this.
none of the staple urethane balls of today have weight blocks that are any bigger or more dynamic than vintage urethane balls. they all have high to very high RGs and low to extremely low differentials. as for vintage urethane, the faball weight block for example was actually fairly low RG and had a very high differential that was double or even triple that of modern urethane balls. yes, we have asymmetrical urethane balls but no one uses them and i don't think there are any in production right now as a result.
Wolf is a hard pattern. It starts off easy w/urethane, but then the carry down becomes a mess. You try switching to a polished resin, and try to get the ball as deep as possible.... Wolf=starts off fun, quickly turns into a nightmare.
I am puzzled as to why these bowlers need to bounce the ball off the 1, 2 board on this 32 foot pattern when bowlers in the 80's were bowling on 24 foot patterns with urethane going directly up 10, 11 board with no fear the ball would break loose.
More power from these bowlers, different lane surfaces better ball technology and probably a lot more reasons as to why these bowler cant play it as straight as the 80s.
Watch Nelson Burton Jr. Bowling in the 1984 AMF Angle tournament if you want to see one of the most dominating urethane performances in history. Straight up 11, the high hard one with a Black Hammer.
1:17:55 wow, that is some saltbois lol. Nothing compared to Troup's salt scream earlier tho. But I'm not gonna lie, I'd get salty at this level too. Hell I blew a 700 set at league and I was salty about THAT lol
*JOKE COMMENT* Sean Rash colluded with the Russians to win the title. I mean isn't it a bit odd that the organizer came away from this swing with a title?
Wow has bowling gone in the shitter. What kind of grade school production is this? A few on lookers from the snack bar . What a fall from the hey day of Chris Schenkel and ABC Pro Bowlers Tour.
This idiot always posts the spoiler. He even thumbs up his own comments. What a real loser. Thank God I always just watch the whole video, then read the comments. Only losers spoil it for others....

I love seeing how mature Rash has become. Kudos!
Exactly. He's turned classy.
Being a family man has really calmed Rash down and given him more focus. He has always been talented but too often you can see him letting his emotions get ahead of him in the big moments.

LifeWire what where
I really enjoy watching Norm Duke bowl! He plays the game with a positive spirit and doesn't wallow in his bowling mistakes! Thanks Norm for being a fair and trust worthy player!
I love how Troup, after a mobile phone timely going off, is easily able to knock out a strike.. so awesome
Congrats Sean. You look great out there.
Great to see Chris Barnes again. Really good commentary! Sorry you did not make the show, but your commentary is the best!
Agreed. I like Chris Barnes' commentary.
I am always happy to see Kyle Troup, I break out into "Atlantic Avenue" by AWB😎
it was an excellent stepladder finals in the Wolf Open
Yes sir!!
Sean Rash did not have any open frames in all 3 of his matches
Good group of guys bowling tonight! Good Luck! May the best man win!🤩🤩🤩🤩
We all know that the Duke is the tops of this pretty good lineup...
Great play Sean! One of the best out there 👍🏽😊👌🏽
Match 1 - 4:25 Match 2 - 26:54 Match 3 - 48:17 Match 4 - 1:08:45
What the heck do these numbers mean? Please explain them to everyone.
@@alanconnelly2953 Time stamps of the matches.
45:51 great 6-7 pickup for Troup
Great job Sean good to see you back on top
The Melee Jab SE looks great!
Thank you for uploading this!
Got to say two hands bowling is no joke. It's like a full body workout that leaves you sore if you not well stretched.
3 times a head in the way of the camera... good thing this is free
fox/cbs have multi-million dollar setups when they do these, Flobowling doesn't.
The day Simonsen leave it behind debuted was my 22nd anniversary of my life changing brain operation in 1997
i like the new intro.

@Craig Laycox They could at least do better on the camera angles, and the commentary. You can't argue with me there :p
@Craig Laycox Are you saying that changing camera angles so we can better see the ball reaction is considered an expensive thing to do :p
Just realised Kyle wore the same fit from the 2015 wolf open.
Except he was Motiv Back then
If we can't see Chris Barnes bowling, we should have his knowledge on commentary.
That's one BAD RASH. CONGRATS
45:50 6-7 split converted
Hey Kyle, great score! I really like your new outfit! You look cool in those colors!
I thought he looked like either a Lego set or maybe a Rubik's Cube, haha.
congrats to Sean

THEY SHOULD HAVE A VINTAGE URETHANE ONLY TOURNAMENT, U DOTS / ANGLES/ HAMMERS/ CALL IT THE PANCAKE OPEN!!

Rash with the swift wedgie pick 24:20 😂

yeah...when that happens,you just gotta increase your angle thru the heads and cut the speed down. no fun at all.
Who's the dude eating the microphone for the intros? :)
Kirk Von Krueger - National tournament director and former great western regional PBA bowler (left handed).
Dang those patterns are tough 1:11:20 gutter thrown

Good to see the bowling groupie getting herself back in the middle of the action
42:58 I don’t blame Troup for being frustrated
sounded like a dogs barf xD
They definitely don't need an announcer telling everyone there score and whos ahead. They can see the score above the lanes.
Perhaps its for those who cant read...
Work on better camera cutaways.
1:21:47 Sean Rash "F*** Yeah"
1:17:55 wow, that is some saltbois lol. Nothing compared to Troup's salt scream earlier tho. But I'm not gonna lie, I'd get salty at this level too. Hell I blew a 700 set at league and I was salty about THAT lol
Troup looks like Cookie the Clown!
Congrats Sean!
Did Simonsen kick the ball return or utter any "F" words?
18:11 messed up messenger right there 🤦♂️🤦♂️

Well it's not really a televised event. It's just recorded. So it wasn't a "big" event.
