J-Bomb vs. Urb (highlights)

This is a highlight reel from a 3-string match between Jonathan Boudreau and John "Urbie" Kafalas, which took place at Wakefield Bowladrome, 8/25/09. No, we didn't shoot marks all day -- the final score was 352-326 in favor of yours truly. But why would you want to see the bad shots?

I would describe the pin action as very legit, ya. I like that -- get what you hit. Why do people have a problem with that, these days? They've become like a bunch of whiny t*npin bowlers who throw a fit if they can't break 200 just by showing up....

That sounds a lot like what the Kenmore Bowladrome in Fenway Park's basement (my home house while in college) was. Place was a graveyard, and the 111 and 112 I averaged there in 1998 and 1999 were tied for the high average in the house, and highest in the house all alone. Fast pin action never did much for me bc my style was not based on power -- backswing never got above shoulder level. Trying to tackle t*npins now that I live in Michigan, and it's just not the same!

Ya, the place is "called" the toughest still in existance.....the locals say that if you can average 105-115 in this place, that you're a good bowler. This is where I've bowled all summer, it's a challenge!

Thanks again, Urb! It was a good match, and to those who don't know, Wakefield Bowladrome is not an easy place to bowl!
