  • Anyways, what year was this tip filmed in?

  • Mid 80's....

  • Bo is cool.

  • Yup, beats working for a living. How many of us bowlers would love to be in his shoes. Give a video lesson here, enter a bowling tournament there, be on tv. He has my vote !

  • And he barely makes the first spare. Bo's tips were virtually worthless. lol

  • Thats right, he nearly chops the headpin straight through. Shouldn't the ball come into contact with all 3 pins...?

see all

  • This is from 1987, the same telecast as Pete McCordic's perfect 300. Even though Bo missed by a couple of inches, pay attention. Your spare making may improve. He and Mike Durbin give us good tips in between matches.

  • He should of missed the 1,2,4, what a luck biatch, haha

  • not necessarily. What I would do is move right since I was taught to move in the direction of the error. Since the ball was right, move right. then find the 1-3 pocket. with the right angle, the head pin would bounce into the 2, then the 4. spare + I know where my setup position for strikes.

  • That's what's even funnier about it...that you know they took several takes, and this is the best they got. lol

  • Brian,

    Don't you think they'd do several takes in case he misses it! lol!!!

  • I love Bo
