I wonder how many hurrican lamps had to be swept up during the filiming that didn't make the cut, LOL The man was unbelievable, he was not only a trick shot artist he was a HOF bowler....I consider myself fortunate to not only have seen him practice and perform his trick shots, but to have gotten many pointers from him when I was a young pup. He fitted me for my first bowling ball That vid was in 48, so that makes you ... let's see ... carry the seven ... OLD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was still sharp as a tack, and remember me. Due to aging problems he had switched to bowling left-handed and was still far better than most people half his age. He lived into his 90s. My grandfather had bowled against him in money games many times long before I was born. I'm guessing they still had manual pinsetters back then?

There probably were some in backwoods towns, but I never saw any. Sorry, by "back then" I was thinking of your grandpop's money games ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
