Bring back the skills challenges! Love watching all of the content though! The level of talent all of these dudes have, even the guys that didn't make the shows, is insane to try and grasp. Keep on keeping on fellas!
Crazy finish? Thats a weird way of spelling 'both "pros" taking a complete shit" on the biggest stage. There have been more missed single pin spares in the televised 2022 season then ive see total since I started watching pro bowling in 1977. This is why people say bowling sucks now. And when you see all this gagging, what can you say? Hard to argue
How the hell do two WORLD CLASS PROFESSIONAL PRO BOWLERS fail to get a strike IN A ROW (1 for each of them) when there is only ONE PIN? A pro should never fail to get a strike with only ONE PIN.
am on a uscb league and I bowl just like Shawn Maldonado but am a one hander! I have a hop in my style too and I only really it to like 300+400 rbm amd my league am on only uses 45 foot oil pattern house shot easy oil condition to get strikes on not hard! but when the ball dead and doesn't hook anymore need to switch
That "hook rating" has to be one of the most useless stats shown on the PBA telecast. A ball rated 10 on that scale could hook less than a ball rated 4, depending on conditions. It also completely masks the reason why bowlers choose the balls they do, and why they might switch mid-match. The fact that they never go into any detail of how different balls create different shapes is exactly why there is such a gap between people "in the know" and people that aren't. Think about any major sport, and how many complex details of rules, strategy, etc they talk about on tv. Trust me when I say there's a market for this kind of info. You'd get so many more people interested in bowling if they realized just how much there is to it. I mean, they even go over what the patterns are, but for most bowlers that is nearly meaningless because they'll never see that kind of pattern in league or casual play. You could make the pattern discussion as simple as "remember that sport patterns are significantly harder that your typical house shot" and then describe some basic characteristics, like how flat it is, how long it is, and then point out when a bowler makes a big move and describe why that might be. For ball choice, it's so much more complicated because of how much the dynamics of the ball matter. Sometimes Randy will explain the basic difference between urethane and reactive, but usually in only very basic terms. I get that the average viewer might not really understand what's being said, but that's how it is for any other sport. The only difference is that other sports are much more in the mind of the average sports viewer, so they're more likely to know what's being said. We can get bowling to that place too, if we show our excitement for the fantastic complexities of throwing a good shot in bowling. The only way you get the uninitiated into a sport is to both show and explain why you find it fun. Make the viewer want to learn more by giving them some teasers of the kinds of things the pros think about. Putting a simple "hook rating" on screen certainly simplifies the explanation, but it also stops the discussion short by making people think it's that simple to understand. As much as I like watching bowling with Randy as the analyst, I think we need to see bowlers that have experienced the modern game firsthand do the occasional telecast as the analyst. Randy is certainly knowledgeable about the game, but I think we need a fresh perspective on primetime. Most of the major sports have countless analysts, with a few big ones that stick out for their absolutely awesome knowledge of the sport (think John Madden, R.I.P.), but none of the major sports (as far as I know) have literally a single analyst that does every show. Love ya, Randy, but we need some fresh blood in the booth.
An example I would ask as a 200+ average 2 league house bowler is why are they using urethane on a 40 ft. pattern. I understand the use on 32 to even 36 ft but would appreciate some detail. My Pitch Black sits in my bag waiting for its turn.
@@Bamm139 Generally, if the pattern is feeling flat, urethane can carry down oil to fix that for later in the set. It's also useful if the lanes are dry because it doesn't respond as quickly to the friction as a resin ball would. Take what I say with a grain of salt though, I'm certainly no expert.
@@drakedbz thank you for your reply. That's the kind of 'tid bit' I feel is useful information to here during a broadcast. Understandable that their time is limited.
What is up with the damn music between each ball? Had to forward to the final game to avoid watching two handed bowling. The silliest and most unnatural thing I have ever seen.
Prather's a great player, but you can't really blame that loss on luck. He had to figure out lanes that were already broken down, which is hard enough to do if you've been on those lanes through the whole process. As they mentioned, the 1 seed is a tough spot to bowl from because of lane conditions. Had he found a spot to bowl from that wasn't so prone to leaving single pin spares, he probably would have won this match. That can be really tough to do in the few practice shots you get.
Maldonado got us at 16:47

I agree some of my favorites are the skills challenges !
Nah
LOL, at about the 45 minute mark, Rash balks and then burps into his mic. HAHAHA
I'd love to see a match of Sean Rash and Chris Prather
So glad to see rash get knocked out !!!!!
He had a RASH of errors to bowl a 187. 🤣
The Stepladder Finals of the Kia Pba Tournament of Champions was fantastic
LMAO 10:09 dude puts his face in frame and gives a peace sign 😂
I’m that kid right behind him 😂😂😂
I was there and made that poster myself 49:32
44:13 a savage belch? Wtf....🤣🤣
yep, that was quite a burp!
Avon lake hs rooting for Sean rash...pretty cool. Wish I was there. Didn't know this was half hr away...
thanks
heck yea great show
It was a crazy finish in the 1st match of the Kia Pba Tournament of Champions

@@beeemm2578 bruh you're the only one crying
A choke fest down the stretch but the better man won. Barrett should have been a 2 to 1 favorite in the betting not even money.
How the hell do two WORLD CLASS PROFESSIONAL PRO BOWLERS fail to get a strike IN A ROW (1 for each of them) when there is only ONE PIN? A pro should never fail to get a strike with only ONE PIN.
Maldonado was seriously outclassed by Barrett.
Congratulations Dom Barrett. Do some yoga sessions to strengthen your mental game more.
11:22 tribute to PDW
1:02:44 Who bring an air horn to a bowling centre?
Eighth triple crown winner!
Not a fan of the strike tracker that takes up half the screen

Rash working on a double then stalls for time only to get a split?
Tommy's death stare. I wanna know what happened.
randy kinda explains it at 29:30 but it wasn't randy talking if you go back and watch at 25:01.
It always surprises me how many pro bowlers and great bowlers just don't know the angles of entry they should be throwing their balls at their spares.
I don't see you out there strange person
What a strange comment to make for someone who isn't a professional bowler

@@drakedbz What does "feeling flat" mean. I'm new to bowling.
@@Bamm139 No 200 bowler should be using urethane on a house shot. I laugh when i see that ball come out of peoples bags.
Kimberly looking HOT!!🔥
Kris Prather not Chris Prather
GAS STATION SUSHI!
Urethane helped Maldo out so much lmao. He missed his mark every other shot like theres no accuracy in his game.
2 more years ALOT of these bowlers aren't gonna adjust well or have downfall in their game, once urethane is taken out of competition
So in other words, you are a Sean Rash / Cry baby supporter? 😰
@@Frostecy nope. just an observer. Was this observation wrong?
One frame at a time, and don't talk to yourself too much. Don't be the bug and the windshield.
Hi my name isJack Simmons
Sean “I got a” Rash
se ha quedado a gusto el rash JAJAJA
Would it be too much to ask Maldonado to stop chewing with his mouth open...? Dude, really?
Relax.
It’s gum calm down is that really the only thing you can get mad at get a life
What is up with the damn music between each ball?
Had to forward to the final game to avoid watching two handed bowling. The silliest and most unnatural thing I have ever seen.
May be silly and unnatural but it’s very effective!
until i see you on the tour, i dont wanna hear it mike
@@NealMickeyD He has Florida in his name so of course he's going to have the IQ of a potato.
@@NealMickeyD that applies to you as well
@@bunker5696 im not the one complaining bout two handers dummy boi
If I was there I would’ve won
Liar.
Anyone notice the mistakes made on match ups n the tie breaker in match 1? lol
Late
Tommy choked lol
Oh shit its froknow

Man Prather got the worst luck there

He had to figure out lanes that were already broken down, which is hard enough to do if you've been on those lanes through the whole process.

Had he found a spot to bowl from that wasn't so prone to leaving single pin spares, he probably would have won this match. That can be really tough to do in the few practice shots you get.
@@drakedbz no I agree, but there were quite a few shots that were really hood, just didn't strike em. The missed spare killed him
I don't know exactly why...but it's actually hard to imagine Maldonado as a champion...not a good bowler at all..
Two hands should be a different game. Get rid.
Wow！What a match！( ☆∀☆) Congratulations！👏👏👏👏👏
Can’t stand the way Maldonado chews his gum.
Amateur hour....The Thursday night beer league, ladies and gents.
Wild finish? Pffft...ive seen better at Saturday morning junior league.. Im sure the brass was loving the display in that first match. Horrible
Yes because clearly it's impossible for pros to screw up too, right???
Wow！What a match！( ☆∀☆) Congratulations！👏👏👏👏👏
