Is the audience on crack?

I don't think anybody has had a better approach to the game over the last three decades than WRW. No matter how much the equipment, lane surfaces and oil patterns change, he has had the most deadly accurate and consistent shot in the game.

Couldn't agree more. I think a lot of it has to do with his release - he throws a fairly straight ball, which isn't affected by lane conditions quite as much as the wide hook balls that most of the other players throw. That and he has his approach, however unorthodox, completely down to a science.

Why were lanes 1 & 2 set up with the regular white pins, while 3 & 4 had the gold pins? I know that 1 & 2 are used for warm ups and also in the event that another lane breaks down, but if you're warming up, wouldn't it be best to warm up against the pins you'll soon be knocking down in your match?

cause 3 and 4 were the tv pair

Plus the gold pins were maximum weight, 3 lbs. 10 oz.

[terpdx]

Is it just me, or is Walter Ray Williams revving it up a lot more than he usually does? Must be the lane conditions.

IMO, the randomness of only bowling 1 game has a far greater effect on the outcome of the television matches than any theoretical advantage a player may have going into a TV match. Anything can happen on TV, and I think it's worthwhile to have these exciting arena finals, even at the sacrifice of any slight advantage a player may have, in theory.

Speed, indeed.
