2009 PBA Geico Plastic Ball Championship - Chris Barnes vs. Pete Weber (Part 1)

Here we go to an old school type tournament where everyone was forced to use a plastic ball to bring back that retro type of bowling that peaked back in the 60's through the 80's. Here is part 1 of the first match between Chris Barnes and Pete Weber.

Enjoy :)

i wish jason belmonte was in this tournament!

good for you crash i think you have strong hands to hook a house ball that strong. Well all bowling balls hook the difference is how it carries the pins when it hits the pocket. Bowling balls of today doesnt need a very strong hand position to creat that good pin carry in the pocket unlike the old bowling balls. Thats why scores of todays game soars high.

brand new plastic balls from the shop hook much less than house balls because theyve been used forever with awful care.

bowling with those looks like you have extreme heavy oil on it, -no room for flare

@TheBrassHole That seems like kinda harsh language since he won the mvp that year. Just my 2 cents.

[BIGGREENLEAF1]

Anthony, Roth, Holman would kill guys like Wes Malott or even a Jason Belmote because those guys knew how to BOWL when BOWLING WAS BOWLING not the laughable joke it has become of super powered balls or the rocket flying pins, walled lanes, and even synthetic lanes and the latest the USBC has approved the spring loaded flat gutters just to help you bump the corner pins that you should have left for coming in light.The big names stayed away, what Malott didn't want you to see his old school ave?

@TheBrassHole yep 

[TheBrassHole]

Every one remember that Wes Mellott ran away like a titty baby from this tournament. Don't ever forget.

it's not the ball that makes a bowler good, it's the skill level of the bowler that makes a bowler good.

remember this u can use any type of ball if u put ur mind 2 it and if u dont strike or leave a spilt then its ur fault not the balls fault
