Man he is looking bad on T.V but I wouldnt be in his shoes either. That much pressure to perform in that setting with that much money and the title of being The TOC champion is nerve crazy!!! His performance today doesnt reflect how well he bowled throughout the week..

I think a 'house hack' got whacked yesterday, all this talk of we'll see him again and how good he is I decided to do some research: Tom is a talented Regional player- however 4 wins in ten years does not qualify you as a 'beast' in the region. Speaking of regionals I have bowled in 1 and attended many, 95% are house hacks with inflated egos and pricey equipment. You may ask how I did I averaged 190 for 8 games, missed the cut by 65 pins. In answer to other blasts I am a Med-High rev player with average speed, how my rev rate/speed with a bowling ball compares to my knowledge of bowling I do not know.

I am willing to bet this guy disappears as fast as he appeared.

MCP,

What makes you think I want to bowl professionally? I am too old + I have a nice job, when I could have bowled pro I had other interests. Bowling will never be more than a distant pasttime to me, I only bowl now because my elderly father needed a another guy. Bowling has become a Joke-even at the highest level. The person at ABC that inked the deal for the show has probably cleaned his desk out. When hitting a target repeatedly became a thing of the past I pretty much quit bowling.

This part made me chuckle a bit.

Seriously though, the guy bowled phenominal all week long and he will be unfairly judged on his 1 game performance on TV. I'm sorry, but no one on this site will ever know what it's like to bowl for $250,000, so it's pretty hard to know where his head was during the telecast. To be able to compete at all with those guys on the tour, you have to be pretty darn good so to say that he's a hack is a bit ridiculous.

He definitely deserved to be in the position he was in. I watched him bowl on xtra frames and the guy just couldn't miss. I was surprised that he didn't make some sort of change early in the game. Not that it would have mattered with how Mika was bowling.

Cause im sure you were splitting boards missing the cut by 60 @ a regional. Wow, youve got to be joking.

Why feel bad for him?....Christ, how many shots have to go through the face until you realize a move is needed?....Seemed so obvious that either a downgrade of ball was needed or back off the ball with a flatter release. He has to be the most stubborn bowler as far as adjusting out there....WOW

And besides, guys: Bowling is so EASY these days, right? All you have to do is think about throwing the ball and it will strike, right? Equipment has rendered the game playable by even farm animals, right?

I love to hear people talk about how "easy" the sport is and then try to justify how a guy who bowled 50-70 games in a week against the best competition and beat them all, ends up struggling on TV. If bowling is as easy as we claim it is, why, he and Mika should have both shot 299, right?

Cue up the replies that start with "But, but, but..."

I would say bowling is easy as long as your throwing the ball good. If you leave lots of splits, get 1 pin on the second attempts and miss easy spares you will likely bowl bad. Maybe 100 bad. His day was over after the fourth frame. He still threw the wrong ball and continued to struggle. Ten frames isn't long if your lost.

Be good, or be good at it.

I second that. Who exactly are you? I missed that big list of accomplishments of yours. Wow! You bowled in one Regional, missed the cut by 65, so now you can tell us all about how you're better than a guy who, by his record, has accomplished more than you can ever hope to on the professional circuit. So far all I can tell is you'd make a great caddy for Daugherty, Ahhbach. STFU!

I bowled on the TOC Pattern Monday Night and moving left is not a great option, taking hand out and bowling down was the better choice. So do not complain about him not moving I am sure that is why he didnt move left, He probably should have bowled down, or taken a weaker release.

Cuts if i were you I wouldn't rip him to much, I am sure he would smoke up and down the lanes any day of the week and twice on sunday, remeber he beat the best in the world just to get to that spot and made more money losing than we will see in a year.

Well, that just proves you're the tool we all think you are. If you interpret that as me saying you wanted to be a pro, you're mixed up. But then again, you did bowl in a Regional which means you thought about it. You got your can kicked, found out you couldn't cut it, and now put down guys that can do it and are better. You win the Tool of the Year award.

Actually your the tool MCP. aahbac just proved that by his last post.. LOL your such a dumb a**

A - Tom Daugherty is a good guy. Now that he's married and a dad and all, he's settled a bit from his less-than-desirable days a few years ago.

B - I bowled in several tournaments with him. He's good. Not just "house" good, but really good. Once he gets in a groove, he's damn-near unstoppable.

C - Criticizing a bowler that can literally mop a lane with your beaten carcass is just stupid. I've been out there before. I cashed in my first 2 PBA events. It's hard work. It's mentally grueling. 8 game blocks were tough, so 70+ games is a HELLA long time to stay focused.

You finished 65 off the cut in a PBA tournament. That makes you 1 - a donor, and 2 - unqualified to speak about PBA tournaments.
