1996 PBA Ebonite Classic - Holman vs. Webb (Part 1)

[royplayer]

@ dunner228. I would bet a dollar to a dime that the ball Wayne is using is a Columbia Piranha.

[brian1969a]

@royplayer Piranha had a more "pinkish" tint to it, almost a flourescent color.

As for the comment about Webb not being friendly in the pro am, it should be noted that a lot of pros do not like bowling in the pro ams; not sure why. I knew a couple of touring pros and during a conversation they indicated that a lot of pros would smoke weed before a pro am so that they would not be bored out of their minds. I kept score in a pro am at Winser Locks lanes in Ct. in the 70s and two of the pro bowlers who were bowling on adjacent lanes were very much stoned.

[TylerBowlJohnson]

[kboss2011]

webb had a 101 in match play???????? 1:34

[TyRTi]

Marshall holman scares me.... lol

[sommerssmith]

3:56: Marshall and Wayne met after 1981. How about you watch the 1985 U.S. Open???

Wayne Webb says "business up front, party in the rear"

[staxcentral]

i love the marshall holmans and pete webers of the world. mainly cause im emotional on the lanes like that. bowling does that to you

[odiedude]

You know, I think that's a reason the PBA Tour has gone down in popularity. There really aren't any bad boy personalities or characters on tour anymore. They need more of them and people will watch.

sean rash was trying somewat to fill the void then he went soft and down the drain just like chris barnes

[i3enthebowlerkid]

your a fegot dont talk shit about barnes are rash they are both 10 times the bowler you will ever be

[pokemon989359]

of course im not gonna be better than them, thats y theyre professionals. Also, its an opinion, dumbshit

[Nakalisci]

I hate the bold player

[earnhardtlivesE]

marshall looks better without a mustache

[deesyphrr]

By cracky.

[Curtie555]

6:18, when was the last time you saw 6 of the same balls being used?

[dunner228]

They're not all the same. Marshall was using a red Pulse and Wayne was using a red ball called the XTC made by Dynothane, I believe. They look similar, but they're not the same.

[Curtie555]

My mistake.

[vanni9283]

@dunner228

Well, they're all red...LOL!!!

[yonstizz]

does ne1 remember when holman thru a double gutter on national television???

[syntonik]

1992 ABC Fall Classic, I believe, against Kelly Coffman. Weird thing is, he still almost won that match! :)

[bsynth8]

Correct tournament, but it was in 1990.

[syntonik]

Thank you...couldn't remember the exact year of that!

[vanni9283]

@syntonik

I think that was 1990.

[voodazz]

Man, I would NOT mess with that mullet.

[NYDanno85]

The Kansas City stat ESPN gave is wrong - Holman and Webb faced off in the 1985 U.S. Open. I don't know who has it, but the video is up here somewhere.

[odiedude]

I noticed the same thing, NYDanno85. You'd think ESPN would have had that right as the U.S. Open is one of bowling's premier events. I believe mrbowling300 has that match on here.

[ccastro306]

I bowled a pro am on Long Island about 10 years ago, was paired with Wayne Webb. I was surprised, he wasn't very nice to anyone, wasn't friendly, it was quite obvious he didn't want to be there...

[Wolfman12395]

O_O

[top2pear]

With his old game, Webb had way too much hand with the newer equipment

[JordanTaber49ers]

Man, Webb's shots are beautiful.

[matthewcw]

In the documentary, "A League of Ordinary Gentleman" there is footage of Wayne rolling with his 1980s form (letting the ball hang, bouncing it off his thigh, etc). I wonder why he switched in the 90s...and why he switched back...

[vanni9283]

And he threw a gutterball too!

[pbateson]

Webb bowled a differnet style than 1980 style?

[Wolf12395]

O_O Webb sure looked a lot different in this compared to the 1980's.
