It's always good to say Ray Bluth on Championship Bowling and Top Star, but is there any surviving footage of him on the PBA Tour?

7-oh-5! Ray Bluth kickin' more ass!

@ 9:50 why would Ray go so far left on the approach giving less angle to the pocket- leaving 8, 10 split on the deflected entry to pocket ?

The conditions back then were so different than today. Especially if the house had a very worn 'track' area between 10 and 15. If you threw right of the track, the ball would often not make it back to the pocket. If you threw right 'up' the track, the ball would hook too early, or, even if you speeded it up, it might 'roll out' before it reaches the pocket and guarantee a nice flat hit (flat 10, or 8-10, or 5 pin). So many pros chose to start the ball 'left of the track' so it would skid further, and grab the track right near the end for maximum hitting power. Unfortunately if you hit the track a little too late, you would also get a flat result. Great example of 'playing left of the track' was Johnny Guenther when he shot his 300 on TV. If you watch replays of that, it almost looks like his ball 'backed up' into the pocket. Part of that was camera angle, but he played left of the track and tried to hit the very 'gripping' track just ahead of the pocket - and it worked real well for him.

good info- wow, what a tricky shot they had. I watched my dad bowl in very tuff Tourney conditions at The Hamtramck in Detroit and Glass Bowl in Toledo, his 200 would win jackpots@@ajankowski2

wow

Wonder who the beauty is @8:24?

Her name in other episodes is "Isabelle". She is in a lot of these always seated in the same place.
