Wow, that is a HUGE hook for that era. I thought the largest hook I ever saw from that era was either Fred Lening or Carmen Salvino. Also, 0:47: the true origin of the two-handed style. Haha Jason and Osku, you're too late, a random man from 1947's got you beat XD

Ned Day did have a big hook. Back then, it was called a "roundhouse" delivery.

2:30 I’m pretty sure that’s the 1-3 pocket. Cheers 🍻

That's a big ass hook! Conventional grip and hard rubber ball?! That's close to what I do with top o the line, 250 dollar wonder of science!

thanks 4 uploading this video... i thoroughly enjoyed watching it

0:47 THE Original Two Handed Bowler 😳

@2:23 error, it is between one and three pins, not two.

Did they even have custom ball drilling in those days? Those finger holes on Day's ball are much MUCH larger than his fingers. It looks like he's using an alley ball.

It's not as bad as it looks - those conventional (deep) drilled finger length holes couldn't be too tight, not unless you wanted to hit the ceiling:) Yeah, they did have custom drilling.

Thank you for posting?

When bowling was bowling.

too right,recently belmo and tommy jones played a game at holler house,timber lanes,an awkardly placed ball return for belmo,and heavier pins like the good old days....needless to say,even with modern bowling balls,both were ordinary.

Is that Joe Besser in this short subject film?

Also, did they not oil the lanes back then? Ned seemed to just amble onto the lane and touch it with his hands without any consideration.

axesebi No, they didn't. In those days it was wooden lanes with shellac finish. The pins were wood and paint, - no plastic or urethane finish. It was also before automatic pinsetters. The balls were hard rubber, - no plastic or urethane.

They used shellac to protect the wood. Various materials were tried, including various oils to protect the shellac from wear. I worked at five different bowling centers, where I also taught bowing as a Certified Instructor.

They put some oil on the lane. Very little though back then the idea was just to protect the lane not to make a shot

Doesn’t appear to be much oil if there is any. They’re hooking the crap out of conventionally drilled balls with no weight blocks.

Used to spray oil on the lanes out of a small bottle, used a janitor buffer to polish it - original DIY.
