2011 Bowling PBA Mark Roth Plastic Ball Championship 

This is 2011 but the footage looks like 1989.

I grew up watching Mark Roth and trying to be him. I didn't know he had a stroke. When I opened this video and saw him I actually started to cry.

I love this! Am new to bowling...and a senior. I am starting with a cheap plastic ball. No core. This video shows the advantage of getting plastic with the pancake core. Better for learning a basic hook. Yet still good for spares.

my right ear enjoyed this

They should do this kind of thing in tennis with a wood racket championship.

Ok PBA do the right thing and bring back this tournament permanently for 2022 and beyond in memory of Mark Roth!

I like these events where the bowlers have to use the balls that act differently from the ones they typically use. And Mark Roth, despite the aftereffect of the stroke, he still made a good throw. I imagine the crowd would've gone nuts if he got a strike!

Roth had a 157 while in therapy, and yeah, that's better than most people on their best day.

My right ear really enjoyed this video.

Holy shit, ever since I saw a comment about Ryan’s left arm, I can’t stop staring at it

my right ear really enjoyed this.

Couch was a beast my favorite lefty to watch besides Parker those two guys have some great battles for sure on the PBA tour on the lanes

They should also do this in golf with the old persimmon woods and dead, wound balls.

They make it look so easy, using a spare ball to bowl that’s insane

I bowled with marc in nj in a regionel he is great person good friend in my opion the best bowler there is god bless you Marc Roth

Did anyone else notice that Parker Bohn III looks like Paul Simon without his mustache? I was waiting for a guitar solo.

When they talked about Tom Smallwood’s ball rolling over the thumb when he released it, my mind was already clicking that it just slid on the thumb, the whole way down the lane.

Great spare by Couch at 56:05

In this video we see a very young and skinny Ryan Ciminelli. Except for his left arm. That thing will always be twice the size of his other arm.

If this doesn't happen nowadays, it needs to.

Why didn't they show Bohn's gutter ball?

When pb3 said ‘the last 4 shots have pretty much been a catastrophe’ he summed up my bowling career in one sentence

Whatever happened to this event

So I hear the lanes were not oiled in the old days of plastic. For this tournament, were the lanes dry?

no audio?

300 with a white dot about 6 years ago bowling with JR's. 300 with Black Beauty in 94 on old wood lanes in Troy MO. still throw the white dot occasionally...just fine.

parker throwing some heat.

"This goes out to Del. Not many people know he's battling cancer." Then Del is like, "You motherf*cker" Hahaha

jason couch: “not many people know del is battling cancer” del be like dude rlly why did you say that

AMF bowling centre but using Brunswick pinsetters?, How strange.

What happened? Sorry i was looking at the funny spy camera on the ball return.

My strike shot consists of a T-zone hooking across half the lane, so I would do just great here.

Why put the scores????????? That ruins watching it thanks

wow I'm impressed by their hook they get with plastic

Jason couch and parker bohn iii have bowled some excellent matches

omg cimineli looks little here

Jason couch was in command to win the mark Roth plastic championship

Shocker! Plastic ball and lefties dominate ;-). Just like it used to be! Plastic and urethane move that oil way more than today’s reactive covers

Ball manufacturer made that tournament go away real fast, simple you don't need a$200 ball to score. Friction is the key blue Dot will last for year's, Storm would go broke and there be no sheep 🐑

The first and semi final matches were exciting and very close

damn this vid sent me on a wild trip down pba history and what happend to mark roth : - www.mrbowling300.net/post/the-downfall-of-mark-roths-bowling-career-6310167?&trail=15

Obvious that it’s a pretty dry shot so the plastic balls can hook

it was an amazing win for Jason Couch

Lanes seem burnt to piss

Atrocious audio

Hahahahaha Smallwood hahahahahaha

2011? You mean 2001 right?? 😂😂😂
