2008 Dick Weber Open - Scroggins vs. Weber (2)

[tisho91]

This is a great match!

[Taper0000]

That was the same pattern we bowled in at our house for 15 yrs, The manager oiled the lanes by hand using a bug sprayer. It was the only bowling alley around at the time so I had no choice, But at least watching this I now know why I lost my hair during that time period lol

[gobowlingdano]

HOLY CRAP! Pete 3 off the right!

[dillonleetaylor]

The angle that Pete's ball is coming in at is unreal. Thats what you get when you have heavy roll though

[earnhardtlivesE]

pete got robbed

[ennieday1009]

hey Wolfman do u think u could upload the 2001 Louisville Open where it was Pete against Michael Haugen. One of the best championship matches ever

[bigyodatheman]

Pretty sure Pete's throwing a T Road Solid on the left.

[Poundcakebowler]

All we can all say is "Just a bit outside." :D

[FSTCHEMIDS]

scroggins seems like he has really good sportsmanship good job scroggins!!

[musicispower84]

Oh man i've hated everything about him from his form to how he even looks. But when I got to meet him after while he was signing pins and programs, I realized he is like the nicest guy you could ever meet. I still think his form is uber-ugly but he is a real peoples champion. He is truly appreciative of his fans. He made me one that day, even though still Pete Weber is still my favorite bowler of all time.

[2514109]

who r u talking about scroggins or weber.

[musicispower84]

Scroggins. He is really a peoples champion. I still think his bowling form is ugly. Now Parker Bohn III is a true beautiful lefty bowler form. But anyway Scroggins is a very nice guy and was very nice to his fans. I admire him now.

[musicispower84]

Weber tried to escape from the left door of the bowling alley with his wife. But this guy my buddy and I were sitting next to caught him outside so I was able to take pictures with him and have him sign my pin and program. He was cool about it.

[robr2004]

Scrog the Hog strikes again!

[Erdennacht]

great sportsmanship from scroggings applauding when PDW converted the 4-9!

[greenvette]

I Soooooo Hate Scroggins!

[janketti]

thx wolfie1

[alchemyswordball]

wow, the sport shot at our old house was exactly like that pattern. hats off to scroggies. the party is back

[paradigmata]

maybe scroggins worked on his single pins conversion..!?

[jamiemcd1984]

I must say, its great to see the Pros struggling on a difficult pattern. They really should introduce some more patterns onto the Tour to mix it up more.

[jewpactheshit]

pete weber is such a fag. guys like him is why the general population thinks so little of competitive bowling.

[MarciusSim]

Wow, how did that first shot Pete threw in this part not fall into the gutter? Lol.

[DaveBais]

Shut up about scroggins. He can play!! Simpel..When winning at this sort of pattern u should give him some credit.. And dont complane bout the way he looks... Rather ugly and play PBA then be such a cracky bowler like u..

[mrtvmankiller01]

man scroggins is an ugly fuck and he really shouldnt have deserved to win the title

[GraduatedPlum]

The hell? How deserving they are depends on their appearance to you?

[mrtvmankiller01]

yes and if you dont like it suck me off

[syntonik]

Someone have a mancrush on Barnes? :)

[Wolfman12395]

LOL! Ownage.

[mrbowling300]

good post....i really wanted to see PDW win...wasn't meant to be. It must have been tough seeing a picture of your father staring at you each shot (in case you didn't notice, a picture of DW was on the masking unit of the lane next to the championship pair)

[richweb999]

Cheers wolfman i coundnt see Scroggins getting 2 in the 10th for the match.Wolfman i think your the greatest i love you man!!!

[pangreh]

omg i wanted scroggins to lose!

[mrtvmankiller01]

i reckon aye, what an ugly fuck

[jyohnyb]

if espn could get the goddamn transmission right wed be good

[spiff225]

wow i'm looking forward to seeing the other matches...

[jsherfy]

Anyone know if pros use finger and thumb inserts in their balls?

[jyohnyb]

yes

[jsherfy]

Oh well you can't tell from looking at the balls, they don't have colors that stand out it is just black if they do.. I only have finger inserts in mine would it help to get thumb inserts too?

[s2dio]

Depends on a lot of things... If you're serious about bowling, you should make big friends with your pro shop ball tech. I only recommend thumb inserts for people who bowl with arsenals (multiple balls). If you rely on 1 ball... Try to drill into it as little as possible.

[lanirae2]

they usually only do fingers if you have a fingertip ball.

[mrtvmankiller01]

DER

[s2dio]

The majority pros use finger inserts. But it's a toss up for thumb slugs... I know Bohn III and Weber do, but WRW Jr. and Duke don't.

[jsherfy]

What does it do? Does it give you a better grip or... what?

[thegoldsax]

slugs can give you more revs and control on the ball

[jsherfy]

Why are they calls slugs?

[s2dio]

Yes and no... Personally, my pro doesn't use anything, finger or thumb, he's a hardcore purest. Finger inserts do add easier grip. A thumb slug gives you a different texture than just a plain hole drilled into your ball... The key being that having the thumb insert means you know what it feels like no matter the ball.

[lanirae2]

I have a slug in my thumb hole....it is so smooth now and my themb slips right out...no sticking.even if I am sweaty. My thumb always hurt before....I'll never have a nother ball with out a thumb slug!

[2514109]

wats a thumb slug

[Vulture629]

WTF kind of shot are they playing on? 49 ft. Chameleon or something? The ToC shot is easier!

[isaiahb2000]

this is a special pattern the PBA uses only for the Dick Weber Open. it's similar to the strip patterns they used in the 90s.

[mrbowling300]

The Chameleon is only 39 ft.

[Vulture629]

I know I thought they may have added 10 feet or something. Thanx for the real answer Isaiab. And thanx Wolf for uploading

[Retrobowler]
