Don Johnson and Don McCune, both from Indiana, were doubles partners around 1972-73. After McCune learned that Columbia was making balls with a softer surface for Johnson he asked for them to make him some. Not being a bowler regarded as Johnson was, he was ignored. He sought the help of a chemist who found that MEK would soften an ordinary plastic ball. Suddenly the man that barely hooked three boards was curving twelve. By the time officials caught up with him he'd already stolen the season.

@kinectaddict just regular old tenpin. Its kind of funny how nobody has ever got a 300 in candlepin or duckpin...is it that hard?

That's my grandpa, Eugene Mccune is my uncle, and Kristina Hall(Mccune) is my mom. my grandpa lives in Vegas tho now so I never can c him

I recently received the honor to have a ball drilled by Don himself at the strikezone proshop in henderson, he is by far the best ball driller i have ever seen. He is the only driller who on his first try got my fit 100% correct and im very happy with it.

I never realized how much Eugene's style emulated his fathers.

Wow. I didn't know HBO televised sports, let along bowling in .74. Very interesting. Great clip--thanks for posting.

The style of the approach of Eugene is nothing like that of his father

mrbowling300.....noticed that you are from the Detroit area. Do you have any shows when former Detroiter Bob Kwolek made the finals, circa 1966 or thereabout?

repoocdoug, sorry, I do not have anything with Kwolek on it.

I was at a PBA Tournament at Mohegan Sun Casino in CT a few years ago and was wondering if that was Don McCune's son bowling? Great matches all the way through!

Absolutely...Eugene McCune is Don't son.

McCune IIRC is considered to be the father of the "soaker"- treating the polyester ball to a chemical soak for a few hours in acetone or (possibly) toluene. I think he was from Muenster, Indiana...
