Parker Bohn lll puts a tremendous amount of roll on the ball.

[@odellus]

parker's release is the complete opposite of roll, what on earth are you talking about

[@oldsnwbrdr]

@@odellus this doofus writes the exact same sentence on every bowling video he watches. But he’s usually right, Parker (pre resin) had one of the best hand releases and ball rolls in the game.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

I want to point out that after Marshall Holman threw 2 gutter balls in the same frame, he did not sware.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

I didn't like it when this video cut off the end of the presentation of the trophies and it didn't show Parker's wife Mary and his son Parker Bohn IV.

[@theripoffchicago]

I remember watching this live. 2 gutters in a row. Hasn't happened since.

[@irishpogi]

theripoffchicago Justin Hromek performed the honors in one of the ABC shows in 1994.

[@railroadskater2896]

Not to mention Dale Glenn/Eagle in the 1979 Ford open in the 10th frame against Butch Soper.

[@nicetna2010]

Can you believe it!

[@andrewphillips1011]

Do you have the true value open from 1990?

[@andrewphillips7555]

marshall holman was shocked that pete mccordic missed a 4 pin

[@douglasharris5216]

Andrew Phillips, but McCordic wasn’t shocked that Holman threw a gutter ball?

[@andrewphillips7555]

the 2nd, semi final, and title matches were close

[@douglasharris5216]

Andrew Phillips
Mark Roth and Earl Anthony have bowled some exciting matches
George N. Pappas and Ernie Schlegel have bowled some awesome matches

[@douglasharris5216]

Why was ABC (USBC) spending revenue generated by membership dues on a professional event?

[@andrewphillips7555]

[@douglasharris5216]

[@reinnegroni8462]

anandguruji83 2 gutter balls... Jay: "Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, disaster." lol. Earl: "He's not even close." 🙀

[@Jason_Maier]

the only other gutter ball I can think of off the top of my head was Del Ballard Jr. in '91 . . . .
Other than that and this . . . . how many gutter balls have been tossed on PBA telecasts?

[@Dana_Danarosana]

I know there have been a few... one that comes to mind it Pete Weber at the Summer Swing in Milwaukee a few years back. Maybe there's something about Milwaukee and the gutter ball?

[@TimothyLittle13]

EJ Tackett had 1

[@andrewphillips2179]

the 2nd match was low scoring

[@douglasharris5216]

Andrew Phillips could you do better under that PBA condition?

[@BagelzNLockz]

This might have been the weirdest show in pba history. Gutter balls. Missing 4 pins in the 10th to lose. Just wild
