    @@robvoyles Walter Ray makes any ball look like a beast. I found one video on here where it's the early 90's, resin balls have come out and are being used by all the pro's and yet Walter Ray bowls in a tournament and winds up using a plastic ball and then goes on TV with it and wins the tournament with it!!!

    Also watching to remember what these star players looked like back then and seeing them age over many continuous tournament videos. It's crazy to see time passing like this. It takes me back to being a kid and watching bowling after 1) waking up to watch Saturday morning cartoons, 2) go to my YABA league, 3) eat lunch before sitting down to watch. :) So much simpler back then.

    When Bo Burton was commenting about Lane 35 at Carolier, now Bowlero, and how on all the other pairs in the house, the right lane was tighter, he mentioned that 35 was tighter than 36. He's right, I know from personal experience because I have bowled a few Junior Bowlers' Tour Events there, and have bowled on that pair a couple of times. Lane 35 is about 2-3 boards tighter than Lane 36.
