OMG @ Duke’s 7-10
I used to bowl with Mika. Yes!
Amazing 🤘🏽👀🎳 I’m a younger bowler but I learn a lot from watching these older guys on the lanes . They really make the game looks simple 💯🏆 which is amazing
You have to realize they play in very tough conditions unlike league which is very high scoring. They have out of bounds and flat spots so very accurate shot making and spares are the keys. Also notice that they did not hook it tremendously toward the end – or at least sent it out to the gutter – it would have been dead. This is why when you practice at home, a good practice method is to play each game using a different arrow – regardless if the shot is there or not – try to hit the pocket from all arrows. That makes one very accurate and able to adjust for these tough conditions.
These guys have decades of experience and grew up at a time when balls and lane conditions were much more challenging than they are today. You can learn a lot just by watching how they play the lanes
it was an excellent stepladder finals in the Suncoast Senior U.S. Open
54:44…WTF …Okay this can’t happen Richard Nixon cannot hijack the show and erase the tape…lol…As for Mika his bowl rep should of showed up instead attending Hooters for chicken wings…Mika really needed him or at least the chicken wings.
Dude finally showed up at the end with a strike. He was lofting and double skipping the ball the whole game!
@Christa ray 29 That’s been his style forever. It’s not Mika without a good amount of loft.
Congrats Tore!
Mika is looking more and more like Walter Ray jr every time i see him.
Bring Marshall Holman and Mike Durbin back for Commentary!
And yes, bring back the camera work like they did for ESPN.
Appreciated the commentary from Haugen and Clark.
Grattis Tore!
Love Michael Haugenn Jr. Great bowler and he seems like he may be the nices human being ever haha
I met him once at carroler lanes n Brunswick he is as down to earth as they get real easy to talk to just a great guy
Mika looks like the kind of guy who would yell at kids for playing in front of his house.
Wow! I’ve been shooting professional videos and worked in live TV for the past 35 years. I’m also an avid bowler and was at the first PBA50 tournament in Clearwater, FL this year. I watched the FloBowling crew knock over cameras, get their feet tangles in cables and delay the finals by an hour because of inept staff. I don’t know if these people are actually being paid to work but it looks like they are volunteers without much an acumen for what Live TV should look like. I sincerely hope they can get it together or they’ll be looking for real work soon. America doesn’t settle for what appears to be high school level production work. Another disappointment from the PBA….
Beware the sound boost at 50:12
I never have never seen such a ridiculous ball lob in the PBA. The results were so inconsistent.
love it when the shout casters understand ball motion and really appreciate that type of commentary. its so great for the sport imo. the terminology and the way they speak about ball motion in regards to what the players are doing/need to do. this will help spread the right knowledge because, as we bowlers know, there is so much false information being spread for a lot of casual/league bowlers.
there are too many bowlers who have no accountability whatsoever. bowlers flipping off the pins and flailing their arms out when they leave like single 4 pin, 4 – 9 split, or stone 9 pin as a righty. earth to bowlers, if you leave these it is either because of they way YOU threw it, where YOU are standing/looking, or even the ball YOU are using. instead of getting mad at the pins, think of what you did differently and try to adjust…
Looks like Norm has changed to Storm Fire. A little stronger ball than Intense.
A tighter angle would make this easier to watch.
Awesome
Tore aged very well at this time, damn
