12 years ago today - Pete Weber delivered the best bowling moment of all time.
this is 100% correct. He was irritated the entire day, heckling into the crowd, not really directing his anger at anyone.Nobody was heckling him. He imagined it for motivation.
Me too! I've followed Pete from the first time he was on TV in 1980.My favorite bowler of all time and the reason I got into bowling to begin with

I've been bowling about once a week here in Costa Rica.
They call it boliche here.
I'm in the neighborhood of 170-180 with a house ball.
Don't fully understand the finer points of the game, though I am aware of the game's important nuances.
Need to get my "rev rate" up.
That's critical for pin action.
I don't "play the arrows" nor do I have a consistent strike ball.
I do cover most every single-pin spare.
One realization: House balls don't grip the lane like a higher-quality ball does.
Realization #2: If you're not recording consecutive strikes, you'll never average 200+.
That is correct WD......and that type of game is called a "Dutch 200" lolIf you alternate every frame a Strike and a 9/Spare, the highest you can bowl is: 200.
I think. I know MB300 will let me know if I am wrong
JK, the defense in bowling, especially in high stakes action matches is trash talking and mind games.Bowling, for me, is the definition of a game, not a sport.
You cannot defend your opponent mano a mano.
In my world, the lack of defense classifies bowling as a shot-making game similar to golf or darts.
Still, however, have a lot of respect for bowlers, golfers and dart-throwers.

Coincidently, Pete Weber may have started it all with the croch chip and bad boy image that the PBA cultivated back in the early 2000s when they were on the brink of bankruptcy. That opened the door to a new image of the PBA that was marketed to ESPN, etc. Many others latched on, it became almost like the wild west, i.e., Chris Rash, Belmonte, etc. Plus the new age millennials have an entirely different outlook on life, and life on the lanes, like Anthony Simonson, resides locally in LV at the mansion of professional poker player Chris “Huni” Hunichen, which is referred to as the compound. He has 2 bowling lanes in the mansion that Simonson practices at.When did bowling take the turn from a respectful gentleman's game to today's contrived trash-talking seemingly made for television?

He is. He has competed in some pro events during his off season. He had some respectable showings, even bowling a perfect 300 game at one event.Isn't Mookie Betts close to pro level?

When he made his first TV appearance at age 17, he was already a father and married.Pete Weber had all the vices as a kid…his life story is amazing….
I didn't know there was a seniors tour for professional bowlers. You don't think of bowlers losing anything since
it's arm swing and placement. But I guess like a baseball pitcher, if the velo is down your PBA days are numbered.
