Pete Carter, Don's brother, was a part of the great Stroh's teams out of Detroit, and I was blessed to have him at the Camp Pendleton pro shop in the early 80's. The stories he would tell, and the little things, like before pre-fab finger grips, where bowlers would glue pieces of tire inner-tube to the finger holes for more grip...priceless. When I see videos like this, I think of Pete. Much appreciated!
incredible upload as usual keith, fun to see billy hardwick crank up that powerful ball with the thumb pointer finger and middle finger. ahh the days when bowling was king.
I know a lot of people like to see the big crankers, but I love to watch these bowlers that rely on accuracy, hand position, and such. Great and priceless footage. Thank you.
@steelydanbowler Agreed. Granted, this is probably about the hardest I've ever seen Dick Weber throw it, and he looks like he's hitting it pretty hard, too. And check out Hardwick's grip - he's bowling with his thumb, middle finger and pointer finger.

@MikeHL78 I love it too. I remember watching the PBA in black & white. How about Chris Schenkel smoking on the air!

When bowling was bowling, and not the two-handed chucking we're getting nowadays. Great find!
