This channel just keeps getting better! Great recap. How about the 08-09 season? Walter Ray’s 8-10 against PA, Malott’s double 300s and POY dominance, Rhino Page’s 4-count, amateur winning the Masters and Duke taking back-to-back-to-back majors!
Hi Right Lane! You NEED to cover the ABSOLUT CHAOS of the 1991 and 1992 seasons! So much insanity! 1991: Dominance by Ozio, the resurrections of Norm Duke and Bob Benoit, Pete Weber's conduct suspension, Pete Weber breaking the US Open trophy with an accidental assist from Bo Burton, multiple choke jobs by Mike Edwards and Mark Thayer, Danny Wiseman continuing his best ever record on TV (at the time), TWO bomb scares, TWO 7-10 split conversions, and, of course the infamous BALLARD BALL! 1992: 30 different finalists in the first 6 telecasts, FIVE first-time winners in five consecutive weeks including three multi-time champs (Scroggins/Forkel/Learn) and 12 out of the season's 35 tournaments being won by first-time champions, the average score on TV being its lowest in 20+ years for the first 13 weeks, the first ever all-lefty telecast (Quaker State), the INSTANT CLASSIC finals matches between Forkel/Husted (Flagship), Warren/Vespi (Florida Open), Salvemini/Ferraro (Petraglia Open), and Devers/Lawrence (US Open), Bob Vespi's futility as the top seed and top seeds on the winter tour going ONLY 3-13, and Dave Ferraro stealing PoY in a nail biter over Marc McDowell
The Right Lane, The 2009-2010 Season on the Pba Tour was both Crazy and the best. Also, My favorite Moments were Walter Ray Williams Jr and Mike Scroggins winning 2 Tournaments. Also, Kelly Kulick making history in the Tournament of Champions. Also, The Season I would like to see you recap is the 1995 Season on the Pba Tour.

Notably great recap! As it progressed, my brain "Damn, all of these events DID happen in one season!" Quite eye-opening!
I think for Smallwood and Kulik alone it's probably got to be the winner with how much those two events still come up today.
Recaps of years would be a cool format. How about tournaments that were won by a certain ball. For example, a Roto Grip Cell or Black Widow.

I agree with all of your statements. This really was a great season! ❤
I feel like 2022-2023 season are the best seasons for me.
Belmonte also made his TV debut this season I believe.
No that’s was 2008-09
They need to bring back the plastic ball event
