1984 Pete Weber vs Mark Roth : Championship Match Greater Detroit Open “The Million Dollar Mark”
Great stuff ! Love the Angle shirts, I had one back in the day.
Classic
YUP I WAS AMF MAN TOO!!!!
USED ANGLES AND COBRAS
Black Faball Hammer vs The Black Angle…
I think Pete Weber is related to Earl Strickland
And Roth is Efren the magician Reyes in this game
Pete before he fought not only the pins but the crowd!
He had just returned from being suspended so he had to be on his best behavior.
My two all time favorite bowlers. Remember when I saw Roth in person when the PBA had a stop in Houston.
piping the ditch is truly a lost art
On short patterns 🤔
On long….
I used to bowl at Satellite Lanes. I knew the owner. I met Mark Roth there.
YES! I loved this bowling alley! I was born and raised in Dearborn Heights. I was so heartbroken when Satellite was torn down. Garden Lanes was a good house. I spent my Friday nights on league there. My toughest house was always Oak Lanes. I practiced there alot to keep my game sharp.
@Kevin Scarborough I have a few 279 games at Oak. I liked that center.
Three of the greatest natural talents ever to step on the lanes. Roth, Weber, and of course Anthony. They did not need two handed or easy conditions to dominate. Each one had a different
style and different release but they all made it work every week every year.
I have heard Norm Duke say in an interview that 2-handed wouldn’t dominate back in the wood lane and urethane ball era.
Because of the lanes played on and balls thrown today, 2-handed is able to be a very dominating style in the right hands in today’s game.
Anthony did have a huge advantage of being a lefty, quite often, lefties would cash in more than righties even though only 10 percent of the population are lefties. One time, 15 of 16 cashes were left handed bowlers because lane conditions back then would break down for right handed bowlers.
@spatrick1964 I don’t really think so – remember Mark Roth dominated the late 70s and many righties came up. The only other dominant lefty in my opinion was Mike Aulby because he won most of his titles in the 1980s. Parker came later. In the 70s you had Petraglia, Moser, etc but it was rare for them to win all. Now as far as wins, Anthony would have not won many titles today because it is a power game and not accuracy. The oil is heavier and he would have left many corner pins with his delivery. Even Roth would have had little success because although he turned it a little more than others, his release was a semi-spinner. This is why Weber is still bowling well because his release is transitional. Back then you had wood or lacquer surfaces and less oil where the shots would roll out so Anthony’s typical “poor weak release” worked very well.
Can you imagine if Roth had reactive bowling balls? Good Lord
he would have quit
@Gary Grieves why? you know him personally?
MARK ROTH MORE RELAX & BETTER THAN WEBER
Whoever you think you are… he is!!
where are his sunglasses?
Boy, bowling technology sure has come a long way since those days. Back then, I think the best a guy could hope for as a bowling aid, was having the most perfect perm, and the best 70’s porn mustache to go with it lmao 😂.
Wow look at petey. I wanna see that, who you think he is, I am
He hadn’t started that stuff yet, besides the tour wouldn’t have allowed it back then.
RIP Satellite Bowl
No “messengers” back then because you couldn’t get the angle of today’s balls and oil conditions.
lf anyone is wondering the play by play announcer is Jay Randolph, who was the play by play man for Cardinals baseball on channel 5 the NBC in St. Louis, the color commentator is the late legendary Earl Anthony.
Who does Pete think he is? I AM!
Do another line, Petey.
Lol Roth. Huckin’ it out there, fallin’ all over the place, how does he do it?
