THE PBA50 IS THE CREAM OF THE CROP// THE DUKE/ WEBER/ WILLIAMS/ BOHN/AND PATRICK ALLEN, NOT 50 YET?THE GREATEST PLAYERS INCLUDING BARNES, NOT SURE IF HE IS 50 YET. THE GREATS LIKE VOSS/ WEBER/ WILLIAMS/ DUKE/ ETC.... HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS// THEY CAN STILL COMPETE WITH THE YOUNG LIONS LIKE BELMO./ SVENSON/ AND MANY MORE YOUNG AND FEARLESS FUTURE HALL OF FAMERS// AND COMPETE IN PBA50// IT GIVES GUYS LIKE DUKE THE CHANCE TO MAKE MORE MONEY.THEY DESERVE MORE MONEY/ THIS IS A NERVE JARRING AND TREMENDOUS SPORT OF SKILL/ ATHLETICISM AND ENDURANCE.
Thanks to Flobowling for making this available to watch, but please stop the frequent icon and diagonal screen wipe. Extremely annoying, and hard on my old eyes.
MR. GOEBEL IS IN GREAT SHAPE// HE HAS WON BACK IN THE DAYS OF CHRIS SCHENKEL(RIP) AND BO BURTON ON SATURDAYS// NEVER MADE PLANS ON SATURDAYS WHEN PBA TOUR CAME ON CHANNEL 7// THOSE WERE GREAT TIMES.
BOWLING IS A GREAT SPORT// IT DOES NOT GET THE RESPECT IT DESERVES// IT TAKES A LOT OF SKILL// EQUIPMENT KNOW HOW// STAMINA AND MOST IMPORTANT NERVES OF STEEL* I HOPE THE GREAT PROS GET A BETTER DEAL AS FAR AS MAKING MONEY IS CONCERNED AND ALSO SOME TYPE OF PENSION FOR PLAYERS WHO COULD AFFORD TO PLAY EVERY SEASON*
I am in no way a purist, but am in complete agreement with you. Most of those people were just a bunch of crows cackling to hear the sound of their own voice.
Actually I like this, as it allows you to not have to worry about adding it up yourself. It gives easier calculations. The place where I bowl doesn't even give the 30,60,90...etc. when you are bowling a 300 game. No score numbers at all. It is annoying.
It does that yes, but that's where you have to remember that the way the bowling format works, there is a little bit of difference between the players. Don't take this the wrong way, but for some people who don't understand how to do the calculations for the scores, they don't know what the actual score is. This is not talking about you, since I don't know you. But I do know how to do the calculations, and so it makes it easier for me with this scoring graphic. Less calculations.
It's a shame what a small crowd these PBA events have....In the 70's there would have been 3000 people in attendance....even for PBA50 ! A great sport is now dead ! In my city there were 40 bowling alleys in the 1970's...now there are 7....including the suburbs ! The game is now a joke ! UNFORTUNATELY ! When a 300 is equal to a 239 in the 70's , no wonder the lack of support !
Robert - This tournament's stepladder was the Tuesday after Memorial Day. Harvest Park Bowl is a small bowling center (32 lanes) in Brentwood, a community with just the one center. While I was there Sunday and Monday, I imagine those who have a regular 9 to 5 were back at work Tuesday.
@@ringchann2400 So no retirees have any interest in bowling. Nor would anyone play hooky from work to catch the finals live you say. No, the game is walking dead.
The sport is completely ruined. Google Championship bowling from 1954 to 1967 that's when bowling was pure and natural it makes me sick to watch Modern Day bowling
love watching PBA 50! classic style and great bowlers
No offense to the guys out on the regular tour but these PBA50 matches are SO much more enjoyable to watch. The skills these guys have are amazing
i know right!
Chris Freemesser no offense to the PBA50 players, but the patterns they bowl on are typically easier.
No screaming crowd😃

Typically easier? WAY easier. Frankly, boring. Not one single ball out of the pocket the entire match, really. That's silly.

Man, Parker still throws it great! Great bowler with a ageless style!
Man alive these were some good matches. Geez, that last one got my heart pumping a little bit
Excellent matches all around. Duke makes bowling look easy and *we* know it's far from that. What a legend
MR. GOEBEL IS IN GREAT SHAPE// HE HAS WON BACK IN THE DAYS OF CHRIS SCHENKEL(RIP) AND BO BURTON ON SATURDAYS// NEVER MADE PLANS ON SATURDAYS WHEN PBA TOUR CAME ON CHANNEL 7// THOSE WERE GREAT TIMES.
Bowlers don't get much sun. It shows later in life with no sun damage wrinkles and spots. .
Awesome 9th frame, Duke! You got it right on the money!!
I live 15 minutes away from this bowling alley!! It’s crazy to think Duke was in the neighboring city 7 months ago😂
Norm Duke does not change balls every game like alot of these guys do. He just adjusts his spot and speed.
NORM IS THE GREATEST READER OF ANY LANE PATTERN.
They’re not booing when he bowls. They’re Duke-ing
great match by 5 greats. What a finish! Parker hang in there. Duke you too.
Skip Pavone shout out! :)
He's my pro shop guy!👍
@@iwuzbornintheUSA hey, I’m going to the shop next Monday if you wanna meet up! 😊 bio means
Norm Duke and Bryan Goebel have bowled some exciting matches
it was an exciting stepladder finals of the Northern California Classic
Awesome show but don't know why they need to use such a "misleading" score board. Very often the numbers show the guy traling is actually leading.
Agreed.
I was glad to see the old man win Parker Bohn is 1 enough they're both great bowlers

NORM DUKE IS A BOWLING MACHINE( IF I HAD TO BET MY LIFE ON ONE PLAYER TO HIT THE POCKET UNDER PRESSURE, IT'S NORM DUKE ALL THE WAY) GO NORM!!!!
Awesome! Thank you so much
Camera position during play is awful.......great to watch what I could see though
Jesus Parker. Bowling is what it is 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Is PDW still bowling. Haven't heard much about him since Tracy left.
Yeah. He is bowling on the pba50 and pba tour. Just like duke and barnes.
would love to see PDW Pete Weber make it back to the regular tour and compete in another PBA50 he has a effortless approach and release
It's too bad, but Pete hasn't been the same since his hip injury.
damn, so close.
Who calls a 10 pin a sleeper??? smh
These pba50 commentators seem to root against the successful pros like Duke . Guess they get tired of him winning
I’m just glad this isn’t in Portland Maine. What a s**t show that was.
I am in no way a purist, but am in complete agreement with you. Most of those people were just a bunch of crows cackling to hear the sound of their own voice.
It's like the Waste Management Phoenix Open in golf. It's OK to have rowdy bunch once a year, but not on the regular.
The scoring graphic is annoying. I've never seen a system track like that.
Actually I like this, as it allows you to not have to worry about adding it up yourself. It gives easier calculations. The place where I bowl doesn't even give the 30,60,90...etc. when you are bowling a 300 game. No score numbers at all. It is annoying.
@@DeanMcCain but these "temp numbers" are very misleading. A lot of time it shows the trailer is actually leading.
It does that yes, but that's where you have to remember that the way the bowling format works, there is a little bit of difference between the players. Don't take this the wrong way, but for some people who don't understand how to do the calculations for the scores, they don't know what the actual score is. This is not talking about you, since I don't know you. But I do know how to do the calculations, and so it makes it easier for me with this scoring graphic. Less calculations.
You also have to remember that one player is always going to be one frame ahead, making it seem like they are ahead, when in reality that aren't.
Thank God Walter Ray didn't qualify so we didn't have to listen to Sassy or Precious or whatever her name is screaming like a freaking banshee.
lol
I'm probably the only player that dosnt use tape on my thumb I have gotten good sores with out it it depends on the player
Aine Lawler I also don’t tape my thumb...
.

I use 2 hands. lol

3:44 how bout the sleeper!
That diagonal screen wipe is like a physical assault on my optic nerve. Please stop it.
26:10 Norm with the cheaters on ... lol Sucks we all have to get old...
This seems to happen to Parker on this tour every single time he will lose his look n someone gets lucky n has career game at the time
Textbook.

My grandpa was an Olympic bowling coach for the 1988 Olympics in Korea. I can confirm he disagrees with you.
