@@adamlorenz4748hey come on man, it's all good. They all laughed and had a good time, I think it's okay to have that in bowling sometimes. Now let's just say Randy was lucky that it wasn't Pete, he would have had the Webersaurus Rex biting his head right off
Here's my take: Seventeen of the worlds best pro bowlers... MISSING THE HEADPIN SO MANY TIMES! Unreal! And also... JASON. BELMONTE. This man was in 58th place after the first round of qualifying and somehow ended up winning the whole dang tournament. INSANE. Keep in mind that EJ Tackett was undefeated heading into this tournament. Belmo just handed him his first loss of the season, and the GOAT is on his own undefeated streak as he starts his season 6-0. Side note: Anyone else miss Chris Via's 1-2-3-4-5-7-8-10 washout at 5:23? 😂
I remember as a child watching the '94 TOC on tv, from this same Riviera Lanes, and witnessing how many bowlers could not string strikes together. I don't know whether it's the lanes themselves, or the oil pattern that they put down for the TOC, but it goes to prove how difficult this tournament is to win.
I've been bowling for over thirty years and I have never seen a 2 count like that. Also, Andrew owes a lot of beers for that one - and I saw Lavoie trying to cash in.
Some of the breaks were the most surprising I've ever seen, if it wasn't an 8 pin, it was a 9 pin, then a solid 7, madness. I've hit my slump so seeing these guys struggle so much makes me realise that everyone has their off days
The condition must have been really hard! Nothing Worse than when 1 inch left or right is all it takes to go nose or light.. good bowling overall. These guys are the best of the best and still couldn’t throw quality on every shot. God speed folks ❤️
Marshall was the only one playing in the gradient of the pattern, the rest were deeper in the flat stuff. Simo was in a pretty good spot, just had that one bad tug for a split. Marshall is pretty up the back with his hand, so it didn't read the gradient much.
I legit remember feeling nothing watching the third ladder. We had tickets for the Finals and Belmo being my favorite I obviously wanted to meet him. Thank god for the 10 pin 😂
That dont explain all the missed single pins tho.. Pro's were just off this week bad. And the spares are straight shot spares that have nothing to do with an oil pattern. They just missed and were terrible shots.
The thumbnail reminds me of when we had to pick cards for the "big jackpot" at moonlight bowling. I picked. I picked a 2 and a 1. Tried to chip out the ol' 6-9. Didn't happen.
You would think a simple light hook from the right side (like a right handed Earl Anthony) would be better for an oil pattern that makes the big hook so erratic.
Some serious,serious reverse block going on... But these are professionals and it makes for the very best moving on. And at 5:25 the very rare 2 count on the first ball.
After the spare fiasco I just witnessed at the TOC, I'll go back to watching Top Star Bowling, Championship Bowling, and ABC reruns. At least the bowlers on those shows knew how to bowl. Especially when it comes to picking up spares. By far the worst I have ever seen. I don't care if the shot was named after the legendary Don Johnson.
not an easy Don Johnson Pattern for me i would average 180 to 190 on it my very favorite pattern is Viper average 220 on that one I'm bored of house shots unless you're in leagues
TOC was just straight up ugly for spare shooting. Unacceptable for pro's to mess so many straight single pins and buckets. I dont care about missing on the strikes shots on a hard pattern, as that is normal, but missing so many single pins, and AA almost missed a 5 pin like what... You rarely ever saw spare shooting this bad back in the day. EJ missing TWO 3-6-10's in a championship match. Its crazy.
ngl thats really part of the game today, the players focus so much on power that they have trouble dialing it back to hit spares, vs back in the day when the game was all about accuracy
@@randomhuman2116 good point, also, it was harder to strike back then, so spare game was all the more crucial. Regardless, its still unacceptable. I can assure you, I am a better spare shooter than a lot of these guys. I am no where near their level of bowlers, but my spare game is rock solid. I average 226 in league, and last year I missed 1 10 pin in 96 games, and only 2 single pin spares. I am a super accurate spare shooter, as I was taught from a young age that making 10 pins and spares are the most important aspect of bowling. So my dad would coach me every week and we only focused on spare conversation and spare tactics for each spare. Greatest lessons I have ever learned. I am sure someone will bring up being on TV or on the big stage, but these guys missing spares are the best in the world and have tons of experience in these situations. Its so sad to see a title game destroyed over simple spare shots.
Randy Pedersen’s whole personality is that 8 pin. It’s kinda annoying to see an 8 pin leave because he always feels the need to mentioned his bad tournament and it gets old hearing the same joke every time
@Stormsfury777 I agree but this caliber of bowler should still be better. Missed hitting marks , missing single pins and chopping spares. Nah it was pitiful. All the way to the first seed. Strike or nothing
Why? I dont care who it is, people like Belmo are the people we need in Professional sports. People showcasing not just their skill, but also their mental strength and durability. Belmo is cold as ice and he has that mental strength all the greats have to shut out the anxiety and nerves, and do his job. Its what pro sports are all about. All you can do is respect Belmo and his game.
@@joaobaeta5440 Bro, who cares what their form looks like.. If it works, it works. Belmo's style and form is proving to be the most versatile and successful. Moreso than Simo, Jesper, Troupe, etc.. He has more side-axis rotation that allows him to come into the pocket super hard at more extreme angles, which is how he carries so well. For example in the TOC, look how many trip-4's and trip-10's Belmo had. The form is irrelevant if the result is successful. This is a true example of dont judge a book by its cover. Altho, Belmo's form and style isnt even bad. There are far worse than Belmo.
Worst TOC ever. Bowlers were awful and it made me feel like I could’ve gone out there and really given the “pros” a run. Horrible bowling this weekend and I was extremely disappointed. Atrocious.
nah the conditions were insanely difficult not to mention all the people on the show made it through 6 rounds of match play to get to this point. If they weren't the best they wouldn't have made it to the show, regardless of how they did on the show
Hi everyone! It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider supporting my channel here! www.buymeacoffee.com/bowlingplanet
I will NEVER get tired of Norm giving Randy the "Ernie Schlegel"... that was just the funniest shit ever: *"I DON'T BELIIIEEEVE IT!!!"* 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
Marshall was really cool when he heard Randy 😂 love the interactions between the bowlers, crowd, and commentators. Need more bowling on TV
I was livid at home for him. Randy and Rob have to cool it a bit. Norm was really good and actually gave some information on technique
I dont think Rash would have handled that as well
@@adamlorenz4748hey come on man, it's all good. They all laughed and had a good time, I think it's okay to have that in bowling sometimes.
Now let's just say Randy was lucky that it wasn't Pete, he would have had the Webersaurus Rex biting his head right off
6:08 "I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!" This was an absolutely brilliant telecast, thx so much for uploading all 4 of these shows BP!
That was so funny
That did get me laughing, especially coming from Norm!!
My fav part too. It's so unlike announcers to joke like that, that it was like he broke character.
This made me cackle
And that's after Randy told him STOP IT too ☠
The lanes looked brutal during this event! Made for some really interesting viewing
Definitely a lot of interesting off-hits in this year's TOC, the lanes seemed really diabolical during the extended stepladders

Absolutely incredible to say the least! :)
I had never thought of that as a kind of washout before, but I think you are right to put it in the category. Nice

5:50
That's what I like to see. Kent just laughed it off instead of getting all mad about it. Good to see that.
I've been bowling for over thirty years and I have never seen a 2 count like that. Also, Andrew owes a lot of beers for that one - and I saw Lavoie trying to cash in.
A guy I've bowled with has been trying to collect all the 290 games for quite a few years. Last I knew he still hasn't got his 292.
You should watch AJ Chapman's 2 count 😂
Great breakdown...keep 'em coming.
Some of the breaks were the most surprising I've ever seen, if it wasn't an 8 pin, it was a 9 pin, then a solid 7, madness. I've hit my slump so seeing these guys struggle so much makes me realise that everyone has their off days
I feel a little better about my game after seeing this!
I suddenly don't feel so bad about struggling on a PBA pattern tournament yesterday..
I’m loving these challenging patterns
Of course the one time I don't raise my hand for the 5-pin... Thanks Andrew!😂😂
“HEY RANDY” That’s so hilarious
My god, this telecast was gold. I can't believe I watched it in a bar off my phone with the volume down.
The condition must have been really hard! Nothing Worse than when 1 inch left or right is all it takes to go nose or light.. good bowling overall. These guys are the best of the best and still couldn’t throw quality on every shot. God speed folks ❤️

6:58 Reporters: Get Down You Stinkin Pin!
I have watched pro bowling on TV (and now streaming) for about 60 years now. NEVER have I ever seen a pro miss the 5-pin… until now.
These huge hooks and all those RPMs sure leave some "interesting" leaves...
If these bowler keep doing that the rate will fall down😢
Belmo is at it again! 15 majors for the #1 bowler in the world!
another amazing showing for Jason
The thumbnail reminds me of when we had to pick cards for the "big jackpot" at moonlight bowling. I picked. I picked a 2 and a 1. Tried to chip out the ol' 6-9. Didn't happen.
do you know when the pba will air it on youtube
wow i didn't think the pros could have my ungodly luck from time to time
wonder how they deal with bad breaks 🤔
how they keep their cool
You would think a simple light hook from the right side (like a right handed Earl Anthony) would be better for an oil pattern that makes the big hook so erratic.
That's why I like norm duke and Walter Ray Williams .....they throw conventional lazy curves that stay the same when the lanes break down .
LOL... I knew someone was going to do one of these vids after watching.
That looked like a really difficult tournament for everybody
Love watching the pros bowl bad. Makes me feel better when i bowl good on the sport shots
shotmaking and spare shooting ability were generally terrible amongst all the pros over the course of the four shows. I was very surprised.
You're not the only one.
2:27 I say the same thing except my name is Aaron. When I throw a bad spare shot (especially on single pins)
Love how Tom Smallwood & Wes Malott both called themselves by their full names after a bad shot 😂.
Watching pros make mistakes makes me feel a bit better about my own blunders 😅😅
11:23 what a lovely message
"oh jesus thomas" LMFAOOOOOOOO
I don't understand all of our professional bowlers are all over the lane barely hiting the head pin even missing toooooo many spares💀
I just love watching Belmo win tournaments
Pls upload funny moments of last year's pba season
I feel Sorry for the Bowlers BUT it prevented Randy From using his STUPID HAMBONE Label.
Belmo is a beast
Some serious,serious reverse block going on... But these are professionals and it makes for the very best moving on. And at 5:25 the very rare 2 count on the first ball.
Never seen that happen even at local lanes
Oof 😥

Now I know why my mom won't let me play crosslane
Never see the worst of tournament of championship😢
That ravine right around the track area looks miserable to bowl on
Reminds me of the lanes I shoot on for league... brutal leaves.
It was weird when ol' boy got 2 and they said "Have you ever seen that before?!!" I've probably done it myself at least 20 times. I'm just that bad!
Yeah but my 2-counts never were picking out the 6-9!
*5:04** "Guy's got some serious pipes going!"* Very sus Randy lol!
*9:15** "Double finger insert sound edit??"*
Jason being Jason, violating the laws of physics and hitting the ball twice smh /s
good thumbnail hahahaha
Andrews downfall was him saying go blue 🤣. That’s not allowed in Ohio 🤣
0:44 messenger fails
Looks like a Thursday night beer league.
How do you miss a 5 pin????
What going on with these bowler are they falling down?
wow I have never in my life seen a right hander chop a 4-7
Out of thousands of spare attempts, I've done it a total of two times. Not an easy thing to do at all
You must not get out much
@@jakesnussbuster3565 yes, i don't spend my life in bowling alleys. shocker.
Only time I saw that on TV was Mark Roth do it in Milwaukee back in the mid 80s.
not an easy Don Johnson Pattern for me i would average 180 to 190 on it my very favorite pattern is Viper average 220 on that one I'm bored of house shots unless you're in leagues
Geez I would just switch to throwing straight at the pocket.
That’s the only problem with having a big hook ball,
Oof 😥
I’m from #StormNation & Belmo gets to win the tournament of champions.
I wonder if they switched to urethane or even plastic and go more straight.
Wes, learn from your mistakes and play it tighter!
Wes has major back problems,so he is lofting the ball a lot more than usual,causing him all kinds of trouble
@Edward Ranno Well that sucks, hope his back gets better over time.
@@RobH0421 he wasn’t even going to bowl he was hurting so bad ,but he hung in there,and did pretty good!!

AA actually missed a 5-pin when he left it for the 2nd time at 7:43!
Jason Belmonte basically got gifted so many pins by his opponents whiffing so many spares

Ah ah ah se eri a Ronta di Cesena li facevi tutti di persona la settimana scorsa
Did he buy drinks for missing the 5 pin
Omg
Maybe if Malott would stop lofting it so aggressively
He literally has to, and he made the show doing it, don't see you on there
Wes Mallot has problems with his back,he can’t bend,so he lofts the ball now
0:33 0:44
I have generally liked Randy Pedersen, but he needs to keep his yap shut a lot more.
What’s with the absolutely horrendous spare-shooting? No one can shoot a damned 5-pin half the time
Dick Weber would have made hay on these conditions.
Eh the worst tournament ever what is going on i think lane too difficult or did not prepare well. Am i right?
Should this be called the worse of Malott instead of 2023?
Malott has serious back problems,he’s just hanging in there
Andrew Anderson got what he deserved for calling "Go Blue" in Ohio.
Sure you need a spare ball!
Some serious reverse block going on here. Why not just throw a plastic ball?
5:22 ???? 2 pin
The worst of 2023? Well, besides the announcers, Belmonte beating EJ
Hard to watch😊
wait this is the best of the best ? good grief
Very demanding lane condition. Miss a little, end result miss a lot. Not to mention, the immense pressure of this tournament
@Stormsfury777 I agree but this caliber of bowler should still be better. Missed hitting marks , missing single pins and chopping spares. Nah it was pitiful. All the way to the first seed. Strike or nothing
@@charlesellis792 yeah, we do expect better but that human element of pressure does weird things, even to the best in the business
The slow death of the PBA.

Man doesn't understand what lane conditions are...
Try doing it,some of these lane conditions are horrible
You would have been lucky to shoot 150
