After speaking to Marshall Holman notlong ago, I came to realise how marriage can change a man. Whereas, at the time of this match he was an self-important little brat that was probably never spanked as a kid, he now is a reflective, self-deprecating, doting husband. He mocks his behavior as juvenile and foolish while making constant reference to his wonderful wife. Just goes to show how the love of a good woman can change a twerp into a really great guy.
Marshall brought that up years later in an interview, and then made fun of himself about it. Something to the effect of "Gee, look how mature I was there." :)
Absolutely true - he struck a bunch, which made him extremely successful. He also had an extremely simple game - while most bowlers would move their feet left or right, or use different hand positions, tilt, etc., he didn't mess with any of that - he just used speed and s#!t tons of loft to control his shot, which allowed him to play straight. That's what made him dangerous - a simple game with tons of power. Was he accurate? Sure - as accurate as he needed to be. But he was no Earl Anthony.
Roth was an animal. If he had all this fancy equipment 40 years ago he would have been the best ever.
Great bowling! It was also cool to see the ending credits.
wow that was awesome!!
finally, bowlers that make the old bowling look as easy as todays!!!
thanks mr.300!!!
Roth invented the style of "cranker". He threw more ball then anyone did by quite a stretch. He was unbeatable for quite some time.

Sounds like he is well trained.
Yes. They are Linds and were very popular among the PBA guys in the 1970's & 1980's. Also common were the silver and two-toned pink/black.
The closing song is Walter Murphy's "Midnight Express" from A Fifth of Beethoven album. Same Walter Murphy who did most of the music for Family Guy.
Holman keepin' it classy.
Wow! Is there any way possible you can post the semi final match featuring the late Dan Roche? Thanks!

I know Roth is a legend, but are they gold shoes he's wearing?
