That's a first.  Never heard Randy do that before.

if you go to buddies pro shop they say o'neil was throwing a tornado and barnes was still using the U2



I would have to dispute that. Never could make out what Barnes used on Cheetah but an all black U2 with neon green logos would be hard not to spot. I did hear that he used one during the week but I don't think he did for the show. And I've seen a Magic in person and it looked just like what O'Neill was throwing.

Didn't the PBA used to do a segment called WHATS IN THE BAG?

Buddies corrected their thread. Barnes' other ball was an Arch Rival and O'Neill had an Ebonite Magic.

For those who asked about "What's in the bag?" - they did this on the broadcast when Brunswick was a sponsor.  It was only done for players that were using big B equipment.  Back then, there were more guys on staff (e.g. WRW, Barnes), so you would get lots of "What's in the bag?" segments.  Basically, it was a Brunswick commercial.
