parker bohn III on tomorrows telecast
« on: October 25, 2003, 08:18:59 AM »
brunswick pro staffer parker bohn III will be on tomorrows espn telecast at 12noon. he's been going through some tough times but seems to be "getting better". i spoke with him at the greater kansas city classic and he said he's going to keep plugging away----things will change for the better. good luck parker !

Can't really blame the Time-Zone for PBIII's breaks or lack thereof. He struck on every ball he threw well. Ringing corner pins and swish 7-10's are breakpoint and/or rotation issues. I'm sure PBIII would be the first one to tell you that. Lefties seem more prone to these. Although I'm not an expert or a lefty, it's probably due to the fact that they are usually playing more outside lines than the righties, making a late breakpoint a bigger problem. The whiffed 7 pin was the shocker. The whiffed 6 pin came after the match was over, so it didn't really mean diddly. Pretty good telecast overall. It was nice to see a ball reference made. As much money as the companies are paying for registration, every ball used should get a mention, along with the layout, and the 'probable' reasons the player selected the ball and layout. If the PBA wants to educate the bowling public about the difficulties and intricacies and subleties of the game, this would be a GREAT thing to start doing on a regular basis.

i don't know about you wazowski but a pba hall of famer with 29 titles impresses me a WHOLE LOT. parker's the second best lefthander of all time.


it looked like parker had a great reaction and line to the pocket. the blowout 7-10 split was an unfortunate break----if it was a little lighter or higher it could have struck. the missed 7 pin was RARE---VERY RARE. better luck next week parker !

I would also like to have them talk about what ball the pros are using, how they are drilled, and why that drilling works for them (or not) on this pattern.

Also has anyone else noticed that the sound production for the last two shows has sounded like some guy off the street is doing it? This week when the show started I heard a couple of mike tests over the announcers. Last week they couldn't get the sound levels for the different mikes evened out until more than half the show was over. One of the announcers was almost impossible to hear and one of the bowlers mikes was way too sensitive.
