South Point Hotel and Casino Opens Doors Ron Boroff wins annual
to $35 Million South Point Bowling Plaza, SASBA Championship
State-of-the-Art United States Bowling Congress Tournament Facility
LAS VEGAS — South Point
Hotel and Casino’s new $35
million bowling tournament
facility, South Point Bowling
Plaza, rolls into Las Vegas
eight months early with a full
schedule of tournament events
beginning on Saturday, Nov.
1. After signing a 12-year deal
with United States Bowling
Congress (USBC), Las Vegas
Events (LVE) and the Las
Vegas Convention and Visitors
Authority (LVCVA) in April
2013, South Point Bowling
Plaza has scheduled 122 days
in 2015, 210 days in 2016 and
310 days of tournament operations in 2017.
“South Point Bowling
Plaza offers a state-of-the-art,

strictly designed with the
needs of a tournament bowler
in mind,” said Ryan Growney,
South Point Hotel, Casino &
Spa general manager. “Having
built five bowling facilities
throughout his career, Michael
Gaughan’s experience in the
bowling industry has allowed
us to create an unparalleled
tournament bowling plaza
that will generate hundreds of
millions of dollars in economic
impact to this city.”
The South Point Bowling Plaza, a spacious
90,000-square-foot facility,
features 60 lanes with two
parallel rows of 30 lanes, a
360-seat viewing area and
a 720-unit locker room. In
addition, the USBC tournament bowling-focused center
includes a 350 seated squad
room equipped with a team
photo booth area, stub lane,
ball check station and bracket
room. For the first time in
history, Brunswick, Daktronics
and USBC partnered to create
two 167-foot state-of-the-art
digital displays with static and
animated advertising capabilities, spanning across the two
30-lane competition floors.
During the design process,
each lane was built on freefloating slabs to ensure the
facility is equipped with
soundproof barriers. Each pair
of lanes has two score boards
for ultimate display throughout
the concourse area. The width
of the flooring between the ball
return and lane spans a larger
length than usual tournament
facilities to offer bowlers with
the maximum angle of attacks.
As a tournament bowling
facility, each pair of lanes
is fitted with ball returns,
undercarriages and round
tables equipped to carry up to
38 balls in order to meet the
average ball-to-athlete ratio.
“Michael Gaughan and
his team have created a
breathtaking arena that is
perfect for our championships
and brings great pride to the
entire bowling industry,” said
Chad Murphy, USBC executive
director. “We are extremely
grateful to have such outstanding support from South Point,
Las Vegas Events and LVCVA
helping create a spectacular
experience for USBC members
as they come and enjoy all Las
Vegas has to offer.”
Over the span of the agreement, South Point Bowling
Plaza will host several annual
USBC events, including the
USBC Women’s Championships
in 2016 and the USBC Open
Championships in 2017. The
partnership will bring more
than 40 additional tournaments, conventions and short
duration events to Las Vegas
including events such as the
USBC Masters, USBC Queens,
USBC Senior Masters and USBC
Team USA Trials.
"We sincerely appreciate the
partnership we have with the
South Point,” said Pat Christenson, president of Las Vegas
Events. "This public/private
partnership allows us to bring
nine major bowling events to
Las Vegas, plus a minimum
of 40 additional events over
the next 10 years. Combined,
these events will bring more
than one million visitors to the
destination. Without the new
facility, none of this would
have been possible."

With a new format for the
Annual Champion-ship, Ron
Boroff Qualified high, then ran
off five straight victories in the
2-game total pin finals to win
his 3rd SASBA title at Cityview
Lanes in Fort Worth, TX.
Ron received a first round
bye for being one of the top 12
qualifiers. He then proceeded
to beat Phil Bailey 473-397,
Tom Crawford 444-437, Vince
Banks 486-470 and Bill Alex-
ander 480-475 before defeating
David 473-427. 69 years young

Robert Steed 406-384, Cordell

Random Thoughts
Tony Franklin, Publisher
Just read an interesting post
from Jeff Richgels. It seems
that while he was out in Las
Vegas covering the World
Series of Bowling last week, he
found out that ESPN is doing a
30 for 30 on the PBA.
30 for 30 is a series of
sports-related documentaries
that are filmed and aired on
the ESPN network. They may
be related to big moments in
sports, small ones, and quiteoften controversial ones, but almost all of them are extremely
well-done and informative.
I am very interested to see
one on professional bowling,
even though we all kind of
know how the story is told.
The question is whether they
will find an avenue that we
haven’t explored before.
No idea when it will air, but
I would guess sometime next
year. More to come.
x-x-x-x-x-x
Genie and I bowled a
doubles tournament in Amarillo two weeks ago, the WT
Doubles, hosted by Mark Scroggins. We had a fantastic time;
got to see lots of people we
haven’t seen in a while, caught
the 4th quarter of a small Texas
High School football game, and
also do a little bowling.
As we were driving along
287, making our way to
Amarillo, Genie noticed that
there was a football stadium up
the road a smidge, and maybe
we should pull in and watch a
little Friday Night Lights. So as
we were driving past I checked
the scoreboard and noticed
it was 20-19, Memphis over
Quanah with about 6 minutes
left…perfect.
I did a quick u-turn, parked,
ran up to the fence in just
enough time to see a couple of
1A schools battle it out. The
population of Memphis is only
about 2200 and it felt like all of
them were at the game. Nothing really exciting happened,
Memphis won the game, the
hometown crowd went crazy,
but all in all it was a pretty
cool experience.
On Saturday night we went
to the Big Texan Steakhouse,
you know the place; eat the
72oz steak along with the sides
and it’s free.
Surprisingly I had never
eaten there before, and have
always wanted to do a food
challenge, but I decided that
this time, it wasn’t for me.
Two of the guys in our
group, did however man-up
and take the challenge. The
game is they have 60 minutes
to eat the 72oz steak, baked
potato, salad, shrimp cocktail
and roll. No leaving the table,
no throwing up, no help from
anyone else, but you don’t have

to eat the fat. If you do all of
that, the meal is free, if you
don’t finish, then it costs $72.
Well Chris Wichers completed the task in 52 minutes,
pretty impressive, AND he
came over to our table and
was picking at our leftovers.
I’m guessing that was just the
adrenalin talking, because I
don’t see how he could have
been hungry after eating that
huge piece of meat!
And then there was the
bowling. Well Genie was an
absolute beast. We got knocked
into the loser’s bracket in the
second match, so that ensured
we would have to bowl every
round if we wanted to win. We
ended bowling in 11 matches,
and I only beat Genie four
matches, and one of those was
by one pin!
We ended up winning the
tournament, which felt great,
but the real joy was getting to
bowl with Genie and having
a good deal of success. That’s
the fun part for me, I just love
watching her bowl and competing at a high level.
When we travel for any
reason, we always tell Tori that
we are going on an adventure,
which helps build her excitement for the journey. In this
case she got to see a football
game, watch a tiny bit of bowling, meet some new friends,
and watch the “crazy boys” eat
all that steak.
And on our way home late
on Sunday night, she says from
the backseat…”you know what
I like best, going on adventures
with my family.”
And to me, that’s what it’s
all about; enjoying the adventure of life with the ones you
love the most. The fact that a
7-yr-old Tori see’s it the same
the way is all I could ever ask
for.

Thanks to Colleen and
Mickey for being gracious
hosts. The center was clean
and machines ran pretty well,
despite one sweep motor going
out.
As always, anytime we have
a match play finals, the competition is compelling. Big comebacks, tight matches and clutch
performances are the norm.
Septuagenarian Phil Prieto beat
two PBA Hall of Famers. David
Anthony lost with a 491 to Phil
Gessner, who had back-to-back
500+ sets. Jeff Janssen had
the only 300 of the tournament.
Pat Stinnett knocked down the
most pins in the qualifying, but
Cliff Barnes led the qualifying
going 14-2 in the matches. Winning matches in the qualifying
was important. If you went 8-8,
you had to average 220 to make
it. If you won 9 or 10, it took a
lot less pins knocked down to
get there.
Next we have a regular
singles event the 8th and 9th
at Del Mar in Houston, TX.
Two weeks after that we have
a 60/50/Guest Trio at Cowtown
Bowling Palace in Fort Worth.

ARLINGTON — Major cities
from across the globe have
put in their bids to host future
World Bowling championship
events, World Bowling CEO and
President Kevin Dornberger
announced Friday.
Earlier this year, World
Bowling put out requests for
bids for the 2017 World Senior
Championships, the 2017 World
Championships (men and
women), the 2018 World Youth
Championships and the 2018
World Men's Championships.
Two cities in the United
States have placed bids with
the South Point Casino and
Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada,
bidding for all four events and
Detroit, Michigan, putting in
bids for the 2018 WYC and
2018 WMC.
Munich, Germany, has bid
for the 2017 World Senior and
the 2018 WYC, Hong Kong put
in a bid for the 2018 WMC and
Kuwait has bid for the 2017
WC. In addition, Tokyo has
put in an early bid for the 2020
World Singles Championships.
"The quality of cities on
this list is a testament to the
progress World Bowling has
made in taking our championship events to the next level,"
Dornberger said. "We appreciate the fact that all of these
cities are showing their support
for the sport of bowling."
The decision on which cities
will host the events will be
made by the World Bowling Executive Board on Dec. 15 and
16 following the 2014 World
Men's Championships in Abu
Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Congratulations 1. Wes Malott, 2. Mike Fagan, 3. Ronnie Russell,
4. Todd M. Book and 5. Stuart Williams on advancing to the PBA
World Championship stepladder final. Telecast Jan. 11 on ESPN.
LAS VEGAS (Oct. 30,
2014) — Wes Malott of
Pflugerville, Texas, captured
the top qualifying position for
the PBA World Championship,
the concluding event of the
GEICO PBA World Series of
Bowling VI, by 118 pins over
Mike Fagan of Fort Worth,
Texas, Thursday at South Point
Bowling Center.
Malott, Fagan, Ronnie Russell of Marion, Indiana; Todd
Book of Russells Point, Ohio,
and Stuart Williams of England
will return to South Point’s
new 60-lane Bowling Plaza for
the live ESPN stepladder finals
on Sunday, Jan. 11. The World
Championship is officially the
third and final major championship of the PBA’s 2014
season.
Malott, a 38-year-old
nine-time PBA Tour champion,
averaged 229.44 over 52 games
conducted on five different lane
conditions to pace the World
Championship qualifiers with
a 12,381 pinfall total, 118 pins
ahead of Fagan.
“I never really put anything
together tonight. I just stayed
out of trouble, and got a couple
wins here and there,” Malott
said. “The biggest thing was
in the second game tonight
against Sean Rash. I doubled
in the 10th to shut him out and
that gave me some confidence
and opened the gap a little.
“I was disappointed with my
loss to Fagan in the last match
Wednesday. I had a big lead
and let him catch up, but I was
able to get past that, focus on
the positive and that helped.”
If Malott wins the title in
January, his 10th title will
qualify him for PBA Hall of
Fame consideration at some
point down the road, but
it’s not something Malott is
concerned about.
“We’ll have a couple of
months to prepare and think
about the finals,” he said. “Ten
titles, yeah, maybe it’s in the
back of my mind, but it’s not a
big thing at this point. It’s not
like I’m going for the most PBA
titles or anything. If my career
ended today, I’d be very happy.
I’m very grateful and fortunate
to be where I’m at, and I’m still
living the dream.”
Fagan, 33, chased Malott
throughout the 24-game match
play finals, but could never
quite catch up. Russell, who

Knoblauch wins 2014
ITRC Super Senior Classic
Jim Knoblauch
ARLINGTON, Texas - Jim
Knoblauch of Waukesha,
Wisconsin, made a key ball
change that ultimately helped
him win the 2014 International
Training and Research Center
Super Senior Classic with a
224-213 win against defending
champion Kerry Painter of
Henderson, Nevada.
Knoblauch, who earned
$3,000 for the victory Friday,
qualified for the stepladder as
the No. 3 seed and used the
last frame of his first match
to try something different.
Although he stayed around the
pocket and remained clean in
his opening game, he knew
he'd need to strike more as he
climbed the ladder.
While closing out his 194170 win over Howard Partell of
Las Vegas, Knoblauch decided
to try a ball that would save
some energy for down the
lane and give him a stronger
reaction on the backend.
USBC Media Photo
The strategy worked for the
60-year-old right-hander, who
earned his ticket to the title
match with a 218-196 semifinal
victory over Ed Roberts of
Braintree, Massachusetts. Knoblauch started the game with
five consecutive strikes before
a 4-7-10 split ended his run, but
Roberts struggled on the left
lane throughout the game and
was unable to take advantage
of the miscue.
"I watched Howard and Darwin (Wimer) start off throwing
strikes, so I started with the
ball I thought would give me
the most consistent look,"
Knoblauch said. "It looked OK
throughout the game but didn't
finish and was bleeding too
much energy. I had a free shot
in the 10th against Howard,
made the change and it gave
me the look I needed. From
there, I was able to make slight
adjustments and get off to

Texan D.J. Archer leads PBA Chameleon
Championship field into ESPN finals
1. D.J. Archer, 2. Ronnie Russell, 3. Sean Rash and
4. J.R. Raymond advance to the ESPN final round at the PBA
Chameleon Championship.
LAS VEGAS (Oct. 27, 2014)
— D.J. Archer of Friendswood,
Texas, stumbled out of the gate,
but righted himself quickly to
take charge of the PBA Chameleon Championship, the third
of four animal pattern events
in GEICO PBA World Series of
Bowling VI, Monday at South
Point Bowling Center.
Archer, a 34-year-old, 12year veteran who is still trying
for his first PBA Tour title,
fought through the emotional
memories of his mother’s death
in September on his way to
the top qualifying position in
the Chameleon Championship
television finals. After rolling
a 175 game to start the day, he
rebounded immediately with a
275 and scored at a blistering
242.29 pace in the morning
round. He only managedPBAto

take a nine-pin lead over Ronnie Russell of Marion, Indiana,
into Monday night’s final
qualifying round, but finished
with games of 240 and 235 to
retain his top position by 35
pins over Russell.
Archer won the day with
a 14-game total of 3,202 pins.
Russell was second with 3,167
pins. Sean Rash of Montgomery, Illinois, qualified third
with 3,158 pins and J.R. Raymond, who will make his ESPN
debut in the finals on Saturday,
Nov. 1, at the new South Point
Bowling Plaza, qualified fourth
with 3,142 pins.
“What’s crazy is that in practice this morning, I threw about
20 strikes in a row. Normally
when that happens, the first

Larsen and 4. Tom Hess advance to the ESPN final round at
the PBA Scorpion Championship
— Three-time Professional
Bowlers Association titlist
Michael Haugen Jr. of Phoenix
jumped from sixth to first in
the final game Tuesday night
to capture the top berth in the
PBA Scorpion Championship in
the GEICO PBA World Series of
Bowling Tuesday at South Point
Bowling Center.
Haugen, who entered the
final qualifying round in 13th
place, fired games of 203, 255,
223, 234, 226, 216 and 247 to
finish the Scorpion event with
a 14-game total of 3,213 pins
and a four-pin lead over Scott
Newell of Daytona, Florida.
Sweden’s Martin Larsen qualified third with 3,206 pins and
Tom Hess of Urbandale, Iowa,
qualified fourth at 3,205 – one
pin ahead of Tommy Jones of
Simpsonville, South Carolina
and four pins ahead of firstround leader B.J. Moore III of
Apex, North Carolina.
Newell and Hess have each
won one PBA Tour title. Larsen
will be trying for his first
when the finals are conducted
Saturday in the new South
Point Bowling Plaza. The finals
will air on Sunday, Jan. 4, at 1
p.m. ET.
“That was a little too exciting, but I don’t do anything
the easy way,” Haugen said. “I
was losing my ball reaction a
bit. I drilled a new ball for the
night round, but it was slipping
game is always bad and I don’t
know why,” Archer said. “I
said to myself, ‘this isn’t good,’
but after that, it was just like it
never happened and I bowled
real well. I bowled 275 the
second game and I just matched
up with the right ball all day.
When you get those things on
the right page, you can throw a
lot of strikes in this facility.”
The Chameleon Championship was the third of four
qualifying events that will
determine the 24-player field
for the PBA World Championship match play competition
Wednesday and Thursday. The
seven-game qualifying rounds
in the Cheetah, Viper, Chameleon and Tuesday’s Scorpion
Championships will be combined to determine the World
Championship finalists.

make better shots or change

and went with it.”
Haugen said an open frame
in the seventh almost ended
his hopes, “but I threw the last
five strikes and the other guys
waited for me. Go figure.”

PBA Viper Championship
— Connor Pickford of Charlotte, North Carolina, who has
never finished higher than 14th
in his abbreviated four-year
Professional Bowlers Association Tour career, will make his
national television debut as the
top qualifier in the GEICO PBA
World Series of Bowling VI’s
Viper Championship.
Pickford, 22, averaged
230.57 for 14 games on the
Viper lane condition at South
Point Bowling Center Sunday,
finishing with a 3,228 pinfall
total to capture the No. 1 berth
in the Viper Championship
ESPN finals by 32 pins over
Ronnie Russell of Marion,
Indiana. England’s Dom Barrett
jumped for fifth to third with
a 223 final game and veteran
Mika Koivuniemi of Hartland,
Michigan, held on to fourth
place with a 3,141 total, six
pins ahead of Australia’s Jason
Belmonte and 11 ahead of

of Apex, North Carolina.
The top four players will
bowl for the Viper Championship title on Saturday, Nov. 1,
in the new South Point Bowling
Plaza. The finals will air on
ESPN on Sunday, Dec. 21.
“I had an amazing ball
reaction tonight,” Pickford said.
“I’ve had all of my success
with a MOTIV Venom Shock,
my purple ball. I told my ball
rep when I got into that ball
tonight, it was game on. I
didn’t realize scores were so
low because my ball reaction
was so good.”
Being in position to win
his first national professional
title is a dream Pickford began
chasing at age 14 when he

ment, with parental consent.
His dreams were temporarily
derailed, he said, when he won
$100 in a youth tournament,
which resulted in a year-long
suspension from the national
governing body. After sitting
out a year, he was reinstated
and returned to PBA competition, earning 2011-12 PBA
South Region Player of the Year
honors.
“That’s when I decided
this is what I’m supposed to
do with my life,” he said. “It’s
unbelievable to know (making
his first TV final) is what I’ve
worked for. A couple of years
ago, I watched Jason Sterner –
a fellow South Region competitor and a good friend – three
all three strikes in 10th to
make the show and I remember
it was an incredible feeling.
Now I get to bowl for my first
title. I don’t know what to
think, but I’m pretty sure I
won’t get much sleep tonight.”

BROOKLYN STyLES make Sean Rash
first pick in 2015 PBA League Draft
PBA World Championship top qualifier Wes Malott goes No. 2 by Pittsburgh Jack Rabbits
– Sean Rash of Montgomery,
Ill., was the first of 40 players selected in the 2015 PBA
League Draft, held Friday at
South Point Bowling Plaza.
Eight PBA League teams will
compete for the Elias Cup
in two days of competition
at Bayside Bowl in Portland,
Maine, March 28-29.
Draft order was determined
by a random drawing. The
BROOKLYN STyLES are managed by PBA Hall of Famer
Johnny Petraglia, who was
watching the draft along with
a crowd at Bayside Bowl in
Maine. Petraglia was represented at South Point by his
son, John Petraglia Jr., who
lives in Las Vegas.
“It’s an honor to be picked
No. 1,” said Rash, who was
re-united with his Brooklyn
team. “I’m looking forward to a
great PBA League competition.
We have a great team. We’re
excited. We have great chemistry, and now we’ll see what
happens.”
Wes Malott of Pflugerville,
Texas, who earned the No. 1
berth in the 2014 PBA World
Championship finals a day
earlier at South Point, was the
first pick of the Pittsburgh Jack
Rabbits’ manager Tim Mack.
With the third pick, L.A. X
manager Andrew Cain selected
Australian two-handed star
and leading 2014 PBA Player
of the Year candidate Jason
Belmonte. Belmonte was L.A.
X’s franchise player the previous two years of PBA League
competition.
In the No. 4 position, the
defending Elias Cup champion
Silver Lake Atom Splitters’
manager Mark Baker picked
Chris Barnes, keeping his top
player on the Silver Lake roster
for a third year.
Picking fifth, Philadelphia
Hitmen manager Jason Couch
selected 2013 PBA World
Champion Dom Barrett of
England.
In the sixth slot, the Barbasol Motown Muscle’s Del
Ballard Jr. picked 2013 PBA
Rookie of the Year E.J. Tackett
of Huntington, Ind.
Dallas Strikers’ player-manager Norm Duke then selected
Bill O’Neill of Langhorne, Pa.
The final first-round selection was PBA Hall of Famer
Pete Weber of St. Ann, Mo.,
picked by GEICO New York
City WTT KingPins manager
Carolyn Dorin-Ballard. By
picking Weber, Dorin-Ballard
re-united the KingPins with
their top player for the past two
seasons. The KingPins won the
inaugural Elias Cup in 2013.
In the serpentine draft, which
reversed the draft order for
all subsequent rounds, DorinBallard picked Mike Fagan of
Fort Worth, Texas.
The 2015 PBA League competition will feature two days
of Baker format team elimination matches with a combined
championship match featuring
singles, doubles, trio and Baker
team contests to determine the
Elias Cup winner. All rounds
of the PBA League will air on
ESPN on a tape-delayed basis.
A special Maine Event
Shootout, a match play singles
event offering a PBA Tour
title, will be held on Monday,
March 30, at Bayside Bowl and
covered live on PBA’s online
bowling channel, Xtra Frame.
All players who were eligible
for the draft will be invited to
participate in the Maine Event
Shootout.

when the United States Bowling Congress and the Bowling

America agreed to co-fund the
abbreviated nine event summer/fall tour for three years,
starting in 2015.
The original PWBA and it’s

on the men’s PBA Tour.
This renewal will provide
competition at the highest level
for nine straight weeks from
July 10 through September
6, with tournaments running
Friday through Sunday across
the country.
The goal is to develop it
as a nation-wide tour with a
minimum $ 60,000 purse at
each event.
Tenpins & More was told
by a BPAA official that it was
“geographically in the mix” as
host Centers are being sought.
The fact that Tenpins &
More has successfully held it’s
own New Mexico Open for the
past eleven years is not lost on
tour organizers.

More Many Mini Tips
 Tucking the pinky of
your bowling hand to the first
knuckle can cause the ball to
hook a little more. When you
first try this, it might feel as if
you’re going to drop the ball.
Keep after it. It will give you
alternative ball motion. You
might want to wear protection
across that knuckle for a while
as a callous might develop.
Keep in mind this is an adjustment. If your ball is hooking
too much or too soon, untuck!
You also might want to untuck
it on your spare shots.
One caution here about
tucking the pinky. With most
people, tucking the pinky will
cause the ring finger span
to be shortened. Be sure and
have your fit checked with
your tucked pinky. If a tucked
pinky causes your ring finger
to bend slightly, have your pro
shop professional shorten the
ring finger span very slightly

(for instance, by 16ths until
the pain stops) or stop tucking.
The added hook potential is not
worth an injury.
 Your non-bowling arm is
as important as your bowling
one. It helps provide balance.
Your non-bowling hand comes
off the ball at the apex of the
push and then goes out to the
side to counterbalance the extra weight on the bowling side
of your body. If you don’t use
that arm for balance, you can
more easily fall off the shot.
“Textbook” says not behind
your body. Tell this to WRW
Jr. or to Carolyn Dorin-Ballard,
both of whom, among many
others, have their non-bowling
arm about 90º to their back at
the finish position. Do what
works!
Another very important
component of the non-bowling
arm is the position of the
thumb. If your thumb is up at
delivery, you’ll have a tendency
to roll the shoulder forward.
It is more effective to have the
thumb down. Check which one
you do and then try it the other
way. You will find turning the
thumb up or down can give
you some options you didn’t
know you had!
 If you want to get the
ball into an earlier roll than
normal, target the dots (which
are usually 7 feet out on
the lane although anywhere
between 7 and 8 feet is legal),
rather than the arrows. The
first time you try this you
might feel like these dots are
right in your face by the time
you get to the foul line. They’re
not, of course. It’s just how
you feel. Be careful not to lean
forward at the waist, allowing
your head and torso to go down
when learning to look at the
dots. Your head and shoulders
must still say up. It’s your HIPS
that get lower.
Some people have success
learning this by pretending
they are looking at their target
through the bottom of their
glasses (regardless of whether
or not you wear any although
it might be a bit more dicey
if you really wear bifocals!)
or that they have a glass of
nitroglycerin on their head
they cannot spill.
To get more comfortable
looking at the dots, try looking
a foot or so in front (closer to
you) of the arrows for a few
shots. Then go two more feet
and two more feet until you
are comfortable. Although
these dots are not on the same
boards as the arrows, they are
still great targeting aids and
are generally used when you
need to get the ball rolling
earlier or when you need to
decrease the distance you put
the ball out onto the lane. The
dots are on 3, 5, 8, 11, 14, 26,

UP YOUR AVERAGE
29, 32, 35, and 37. So, if your
target is the 10th board at the
arrows, you might want to look
one right of the fourth dot,
which is the 10th board. That
is, of course, if you are trying
to lay the ball down on 10 and
be at 10 at the arrows. If you’re
trying to swing 10, you might
want to look at the fourth dot.
That would put your laydown
point at the foul line on 11½ or
12. The ball would be on 11 at
the dots and 10 at the arrows,
etc.

numerous licensed league

These leagues were credited
with attracting tens of thousands of new league bowlers.
“We have developed some
tremendous programs at Strike
Ten and I am honored that the
STE board is giving me the opportunity to continue to work
with our sponsors, partners
and member centers,” Harbuck
said.
Harbuck earned a bachelor’s
degree in advertising/communication from the University of
Alabama.
“The most important thing
I need to do is learn to read
transition quicker and which
ball to go to. You still have
to make the right decisions. I
need to read ball motions better; I’m learning what I need to
do to strike.”
Burkett said he’s planning
to return home, bowl a couple
of regionals if he has time,
and then get ready for the 2015
PBA50 Tour to get underway.
“That’s what I’m doing this
for,” he said with a smile. “I
believe I can win, but I don’t
think I can win, at least right
away, if that makes any sense.
But it’ll be interesting to get a
read on the senior tour. We’ll
see what happens.”

some strong starts against my
opponents."
Painter, who won the inaugural ITRC Super Senior Classic
in 2013 and led wire to wire in
2014, averaged more than 10
pins higher than the secondseeded Roberts over 20 games
to put himself in position for
back-to-back wins.
An 8-10 split on a light hit
in the fifth frame of the finale
proved to be the difference for
Painter. Knoblauch secured the
win with nine pins on his first
shot in the 10th frame. Painter
earned $2,200 for the runnerup finish.
"I had gotten a lesson about
a month before this, and I have
spent every day practicing to
get ready," Knoblauch said. "It's
absolutely awesome to see the
hard work pay off and capture
my first national win. This was
my first time coming down to
the ITRC, and it was great to
get the win against some really
good bowlers."
In the opening game of the
championship round, Partell
struck on seven of his first
eight shots, and he needed
every one of them, as Darwin
Wimer of Mesquite, Nevada,
kept the match close heading
into the final frames. Despite a
split in the ninth frame, Partell
was able to escape with a 234217 victory.
All competitors in the
38-player field bowled 16
games of qualifying over
two days before the field was
narrowed to the top 10 for the
cashers' round. An additional
four games determined the
five finalists for the stepladder
finals.
The Super Senior Classic is
open to all USBC members age
60 and older, and every round
of the 2014 event was broadcast
live on BOWL.com's BowlTV.

Just Paying
Attention

The PBA XtraFrame broadcasters (or live streamers, I
really don’t think there is a
specific term yet, give it a another year, someone will come
up with a clever title) offering
an unexpected treat with Bowlers Journal International Senior
Editor Gianmarc Manzione,
and the newest member of the
XF team, Phil Brylow.
Brylow has years of bowling media experience in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin running
tournaments with local cable
TV finals, as well as part of
the trio of hosts on the Sunday
morning Castle Lanes SpareTime Bowling Show on Milwaukee’s SportsRadio105.7FM.
Manzione and Brylow have
had the knack of getting many
pros with particularly great
insights on their morning and
afternoon XtraFrame shifts.
In the opening match play
block of the World Championships, reigning IBMA Kegel
Bowler of the Month, Missy
Parkin, was asked about Scott
Norton’s strategy on slow-
ing his ball speed on the oil
pattern, rather than using the
faster speed he prefers.
The night before, Manzione
was talking with PBA Hall of
Famer Dave Ferraro. Amongst
questions on modern equipment his son was asking about
while competing in the WSOB,
Ferraro disclosed his family
recently sold the last of its
family-held centers in Kingston, New York. Also discussed
at great length, undoubtedly
enjoyed by viewers, was Ferraro corroborating the people
and stories brought up in
Manzione’s upcoming book on
the New York action bowling
scene in the 1960’s, highlighting fellow PBA and USBC Hall
of Famer Ernie Schlegel.
Like I get with my uncle
and fellow Towel wavers speaking Pittsburghese discussing
the Steeler defensive secondary
and why offensive coordinator
Todd Haley still has a job,
Ferraro happily filled in more
details about what that scene
was like after Schlegel left to
bowl the PBA Tour.
My favorite Ferraro anecdote was his story of how he
became the last PBA player
to win a major title using a
plastic ball, the 1990 Firestone
Tournament of Champions. His
Columbia 300 Black U-Dot was
hooking so much, he couldn’t
throw it fast enough to get it to
read the way he wanted. Like
most players, he went to the
PBA Players Services truck to
find a solution, and that, he
did. He found a Columbia 300
Yellow Dot Legend, one of the
last issues of that classic ball.
Ferraro then explained he
got the reaction he was seeking,
jumped into the tournament
lead in match play and then
defeated his tour roommate
Tony Westlake for the title.
############
Another treat was listening to former color analyst
and bowling legend Marshall
Holman under the headset
with lead announcer Mike
Jakubowski.
Joining the two in the Xtra
Frame booth during the final
round of match play was fourtime PBA titlist and current
instructor extraordinaire and
author Mark Baker. Mike J.
allowed Holman and Baker to
take viewers into a rare inside
view of professional bowling. If
you have a chance to find this
round on XtraFrame, you will
not be disappointed. During the
seventh game, with the position
round game on the horizon,
Mike J. asked the two to
describe what each were feeling
during the match-play position
round game in their first major
championship. Ironically, both
were in the same building,
Riviera Lanes in Fairlawn,
Ohio, longtime home of the
Tournament of Champions.
For Holman, it was the 1976
tourney. His position round
match was against none other
than Dick Weber in one of
his final chances to make the
television finals and Holman
did win the match, moving
from sixth to second, then
defeating Tim Harahan and
Billy Hardwick on the show to
become the youngest winner in
tournament history, which at
age 21, still stands today.
Baker’s was a decade
later in 1986, when he bowled
Holman in position round. But
his memory was more about
how much he wanted to bowl
Holman in any tourney, not
necessarily on the show the following afternoon. Win or lose,
Baker liked to bowl the best.
Holman easily fell back into
the comfortable announcer
mode. Baker, the never-shy native Californian, also sounded
comfortable either talking
about lane play in today’s game
or when it was his turn in the
PBA’s version of ‘When We
Were Kings.’
############
I know the WSOB results
are elsewhere in this issue, but
here’s a nugget of brain candy
for the soon-to-be aired WSOB
finals.
In the Cheetah Championship presented by PBA Bowling
Challenge Mobile Game finals,
Liz Johnson makes her second
career finals appearance on
the PBA Tour. The first made
my Top 25 TV Moments list,
with her narrow 216-205 loss to
Tommy Jones in the 2005 PBA
Banquet Open in March 2005.
I had the chance to bowl a
sport league with the future
USBC Hall of Famer a few years
ago and was able to see for myself the amazing consistency
of her game. For example, not
only was she hitting a given
board, but she would hit the
right half of a given board,
then after transition, the
other half. And yes, she was
striking hitting both halves.
That was the year she won the
USBC Sport Bowling Women’s
National High Average award.
############
Next week, a curious look
at one sports talk show host’s
questions and doubts about
the proposed PWBA tour next
summer. Also, more about
Manzione’s book on action
bowling.
