Earl makes one shot and switches balls and is good thereafter. "He" made that choice, no running to the back to whine to a team of ball reps begging their help. Earl managed his "own" game, he was a true Champion.
Loved watching the old shows when bowlers were shot makers with 'full rollers' before the days of hooking the poly-balls like Sandy Koufax.........such is progress I suppose.
I've been revisiting a number of your great uploads and I don't know why, but each time it shows I'm not subscribed to your channel. Although I push SUBSCRIBE each time, it still shows I'm not subscribed. I wonder how many others this has happened to.
Dude, more like 250 at peak. Those guys were averaging 230-plus in league settings with no free hook back in those days. Remember, house shots before the mid-1980s would all be considered sport shots under today's definitions, and even the short oil patterns of that era would meet those definitions, though I'd love to see how modern bowlers would react to 24 feet and 2:1....😂😂😂
As would many. As would many who quit averaging 210-220 in the late 1970s. Me ... maybe. I made a cut in 1978. Earl managed 159 in one match of 24. Me 188. I quit in 1978 when Brunswick "flaked off" with the Automatic Scoring Tournament.
As far as I’m concerned, Earl IS the GOAT. With the equipment available to him, yeah, he’s the GOAT. Don’t much care for the escapee from the down under, penal colony.
Rubber hooks more than plastic for two reasons. Even though rubber balls are commonly referred to as hard rubber they are actually softer than plastic. Even when polished they have a rougher surface than plastic balls. Both these features create more friction and allow them to grip the lane and hook more than plastic.
Earl was a machine. My idol in bowling back in the day. Met him in Milwaukee in 84. A true professional and a helluva bowler.
I actually met Mr Earl Anthony back in 1984 he came to my hometown that had a bowling alley and our bowling league got the chance to meet him

3:26 - Perhaps the most perfect strike I've ever seen.
These commercials are awesome!
Nice to see Earl play the track and a righty play the 2 board-4board line.

Earl Anthony would avg 240 plus with todays equipment.

lanes look so small
Soutar was 18-13 in championship matches.
Odd that, because he was better than most he competed against.
I wonder how fast it took Pete Rose to gamble away the endorsement money he got from Grecian Formula.
