      Not crazy one bit. Two handers continue to look like retards. It's not bowling, more like slugging.

    The crowd went absolutely crazy when Voss converted that impossible split in the 4th frame of the Championship match, UNBELIEVABLE

      McCarrick,I can't figure out why someone gives out the outcome of the matches in the comment section. It's like the obnoxious kid in class that yells out the answers while others have their hands up waiting to be called. Grow up!

      THEGRF124, "Stryker, to be fair you shouldn't read the comments before watching the video"! You know in the sitcoms when someone repeats something that other says but, in a funny snarky voice? I tried that just now but, in written form! It just doesn't work ! hehehe!

    Here’s he deal, I hate it when Randy always says league play is easy, when I bowled on men’s league it was at 8 at night, by the second game there was no oil, at all, it wasn’t easy Randy believe me, and I still finished the year at 208 average, if anyone practices enough you can bowl good on the open oil pattern, I bowled on it in the PBA experience league and it’s not as hard as he makes it sound.

    Pete looks like a guy in a midwestern suburb that runs a lucrative lawn care business, that is a laundering front for his Newark meth hustle.

      @@smokingbluedream I don't think he could take me. He is all mouth, one of those brats that had no discipline learned no selfcontrol and respect. My family was military. My dad knew Audie Murphy. A real shit kicker.
      Dick Weber was real class, his son a spoiled brat.
      All my 8 uncles were bowlers and my dad. Two of them were pinsetter mechanics. My first job was a pinchaser at 15 years old in Burien Washington at High Line Lanes.
      I used to bowl 30 or more games a week. My first 300 game was when I was 16.
      I would work the colorama on Saturday night that ended early Sunday morning at 2:30. I would get off work go turn a machine on and bowl till 7:00 in the morning. My dad would come we would have breakfast and at 8:00 I would bowl pot games with the "old men". I remember my first game I rolled a 271 and won $70 in the pot.
      I was gifted natural bowler but I went another way in life.
      And I can still through a 200 game at 62.

      @@smokingbluedream my dad was stationed at fort Lewis Washington. He was at the top of his class.
      Hollywood wanted to do a movie about Audie in ww2. And it was at fort Lewis and the Yakima firing range where most of "To Hell and Back" was made.
      The casting director looked at my dads record and looks and used him in many parts of the movie, as my dad put it "because I was a mean looking sob to make Audie look better."
      If you look at this utube video, you can see my dad next to Audie at the sand bags.
      Audie and my dad became good friends during the making of this film. My dad is featured in 21 different scenes with Audie.
      The utube video is " To Hell and Back Audie Murphy US most decorated." 5.43. This is a short movie clip.
      My sister has a picture of my dad and Audie on the movie set in black and white.
