Interesting that the Japanese fans clap during the bowlers approaches (and not at any other time). I wonder if that's actually less of a distraction for the bowlers--if someone coughs during a backswing, it would probably go unnoticed among the clapping?
@sourcetags I do know of one other match that can be watched here on YouTube where someone did this -- Earl Anthony in a Senior Tour title match from 1991. At the beginning of the match, Mike Durbin says that Earl didn't like in the practice session what he saw from the ball he wanted to use, so he decided to switch to the ball he'd been using to shoot spares all week. But yeah, certainly it's not something done too often lol
could you do me a huge favor and post the whole (or all the matches ESPN classic showed) show. i have always wanted to see this. if not thanks for posting this great show anyway
Duke's spare at 1:20 would've almost certainly made the big 4.

I'd never thought I'd see a pro switch to a spare ball for a strike ball.
