That semi and final match.. epic. PDW, Norm and Chris just executing shot after shot on a pattern I would probably struggle to shoot a buck forty on. Well worth watching! Thanks for posting this.
On Norm's second shot in the tenth at 20:55 he hesitated before taking his second step at that point it was highly unlikely he was gonna strike. Another great match that came down to the 10th though unfortunately for Norm not one of the best 10th frame performance.
We use our CBS Strategizer to help bowlers develop a strategy when playing different oil patterns. It is a great visual tool for league and tournament players. Some bowlers use it to compare PBA bowlers play line with their own.
Even a 2 handed bowlers rev rate wouldn't bite on this oil pattern. I like them a bit dryer, more splits and wash outs statistically on dryer patterns but still fun to watch a tougher pattern for these guys.
Although Norm lost game, this match was a great example to show revs are irrelevant when the ball is thrown on a tough pattern. 400 rpm Chris Barnes leaves a stone 5, but a 250 rpm Norm Duke shreds the rack, enough said.
Chris Barnes represents what is wrong with the game, Duke represents what is right. Duke plays the game like an artist. Barnes plays it like an overly specialized robot. Nobody needs to tell Duke how to bowl.
Thank you so much for all your post.. i work overnight and getting to see all the shows gets me through the night.. ty!!!

hard to see Duke loses but Barnes is also a great champion congrats to him

You could see Norm shaking his head before that last ball even hit the pocket. He knew it was going to be a flat 10 pin.
Thanks for uploading!
Some great shot-making here.
WHAT A FINISH!
Does anyone else have trouble getting the video to resume after the commercial in the middle?
Is this the match were Chris had to take back the ball he signed to play?
Tareq Bamuqabel yes
7:15 Wow! You don't see many of those left standing on the tour!
can you change your thing to 'I knew Chris Barnes was going to win because of his post on FB' it makes it grammatically correct ha :)
The last time I saw so much oil on the lanes, we were holding a Turkey Bowl fundraiser and throwing frozen turkeys down the lane.
do they oil the lane with lucas oil ?
That football player is always on his phone no matter what match I'm watching, I wouldn't give him anything
Ben loves bowling
Kristy Bryant huh?

Terrell Owens at 16:20
Isnt it beautiful not having any two handed bowler on the show? thanks god!
Lucky Chris Barnes, but a great champion
Anyone knows name of the bgm they use?
and no one is noticing T.O. in the background at 9:04?
He doesn't, he puts his thumb in first and has to really jam it in to keep a good grip of the ball
Are we going to have soon the king of swing? :D Thanks in advance
Strike songs?
Terrell Owens watching in the background.
I'm sorry the question is quite stupid.. where is WRWJ ?

What the hell are you talking about?
+Polarcupcheck Someone forgot to take his medication.
Polarcupcheck you lowkey dumb
What are you even talking about? You obviously don't understand bowling.
You definitely ride the short bus.
Barnes ftw xD
All other professional sports should take a serious lesson from the pro bowling community in sportsmanship, character on and off camera.
