I've never forgotten this tournament! Bo was locked in and loaded! Though it does look like a sweet shot was laid down in a oil pattern for the pros to hit.

bo went and pumped up the guns before the show!!!!!

Man... Bo was in dead stroke on that day. That Black Hammer was quite the ball back then... and I remember those "star balls" like in the photo Pete bowling as a child as well. We all used to put just our fingers in the Star ball, no thumb, and hook the lane as if we knew how to do that :)

I remember not only this tournament, but also the articles written about Bo following it. In one article, it had Bo talk about lining up his shot using 1/4 boards. Not a board, not 1/2 board - he was aiming at a mark that was just a few centimeters wide. Most people at the time thought Bo was full of crap. But even today, I haven't heard anyone speak of aiming at a mark so small.

Pete Weber doesn't remember this match.

I loved this show as a kid and Nelson Burton Junior I hadnt seen win too many times, seeing how late this was I didnt even know he won a title in the mid 80's but I see this was indeed his 17th and last! What a way to win his finale winning 4 games and setting a record!

This was a great show.....I remember sitting in my beanbag chair, and amazed by Bo's concentration.........

I've always loved that this is the AMF Angle open, and Bo is shooting the lights out with a Faball Hammer!!!
