Is it just me or is Earl's backswing quite a bit higher than normal in this match? It looks almost as high as he had it when he was on the Senior tour in the late 80s/early 90s.
Yeah I think he might of been trying to put a little extra speed on the ball. Also, is it just me or is Billy Welu a horrible commentator? I mean he barely says anything and when he does it usually doesn't make sense. Nelson Burton Jr. and Randy Pedersen are definitely the best to enter the bowling commentator's booth!
Uh no! Earl Anthony very rarely did commentating and even his was very so-so. Even though Billy Welu was a great bowler in his own right he was not a good commentator. I mean face it a guy who says two or three sentences throughout the entire telecast and just lets Chris Schenkel do all the commentating isn't a very good commentator whatsoever!
Earl did the fall tour with Jay Randolph in the 1980's on NBC and did a great job! Did you watch this tournament? Welu explains the shot Earl's throwing, not to mention the excitement during the introductions!
The guy that was so-so was Dick Weber, who would whisper about how so and so needed the next two "hits" to win...
Usually when a bowler's feet are in that type of position at the start, it is to help them open up the lane. Also, it could be a timing trick; maybe his feet were too fast and he used that trick to buy time in his approach.
4:00 great shot of Earl's perfect form...

Like the reaction by Earl on the Brooklyn strike at 7:50

I sure wish that someone out there has Don Johnson and his 1972 US open title.

"..and he looks good in it, Chris" Man did that sound hard gay.

Welu was the best bowling broadcaster except for Earl Anthony...

Earl Anthony did PBA commentary on ESPN as well. He was a very good commentator.

Whatever Mike McGrath wants to do is OK by me. Both top notch bowlers.
