2017 FireLake PBA Tournament of Champions Stepladder Finals 

pdw is awesome. he's super nice too I met him

Tommy: "Randy, I figured out that over the years my rev rate has gone down, so I realized that I need to slow my ball speed down"Randy: "okay, so what's your game play going into today?"Tommy: "I'm gonna move right and throw it as hard as I can"

UNBELIEVABLE ENDING!!! O_O

Tommy Jones had some serious balls making a 3-2 left on that last shot. I would have totally pussied out and made a 2-1. It may have been the wrong move, but making that big of a move on the last ball for a major takes moxy and courage. Both players showed determination and desire to win we can all strive for. EJ never quit, even when his shotmaking was failing him, and Tommy created a look all his own and made one of the ballsiest adjustments I've seen a pro make. Great show for everyone involved!

12:10 4-9 split conversion 14:13 2-10 split conversion 25:52 1-2-4-10 conversion 1:27:02 bad break

32:02 is one of the luckiest breaks I’ve ever witnessed in bowling. Good job Dom 😂👏🏾

The way Belmonte finished off Qualifying and Qualifying for Barbasol championship plus the final he is tearing it up with his new ball Timeless

That's twice EJ started crying before the match was over and ended up winning.

NOOOO I WANTED TOMMY TO WIN SOO BAD

That ending with Jones and Tackett was intense, didn't think that would happen. 👀

EJ has a Jackal Ghost?? Nice!! I've been looking into that ball for quite as while now. Looks like a beast on the lane.

What an awesome finish in the final! Damn, that was unexpected :D

Yea, Smallwood is always a blast to watch

I love how Randy is resurrecting Rob Stone with the "back to back jacks" line! lemme hear ya say hambone!!!

Congrats EJ Tackett🥳

Bowling is my favorite sport to watch on TV. Men or Women matches equally. Match play that is. Not team play. Just wish it was on TV more often.

The high angle camera is a treat for me. It shows everything about the ball motion much harder to see from lane level.

50:33 Wtf was that all about: "oooOOAAAHH! oooOOAAAHH!" That scared the shit out of me!

will tommy ever figure out he needs to slow down

I'm looking forward to the 2018 Tournament of Champions when it returns home to AMF Riviera Lanes in Akron, (Fairlawn) Ohio for the PBA's 60th season.

Even my bowling league mutes music whenever it comes on. Why does this big event have a MC. God.

30:05 just the way the camera pans to reveal that guy in the blue horse mask man that had me dying

I like EJ but he needs to control his emotions when things are not going his way. It was really unnerving and embarrassing how he lost it at the end of the match.

Congratulations to EJ Tackett on winning the tournament of champions

that was a heart-breaking ending for Tommy Jones, he choked. Congrats EJ

Don't complain about the DJ. It all started to go downhill for bowling when the pros started to wear Nascar jerseys, had WWE music between frames, competed outdoors under the sun (still unbelievable), and rodeo commentators. Totally classless.

EJ is my favorite when he won I ran out of my house

What an ending!!! Get rid of the MC. It's like having a clown running around or something.

Yeah EJ!

E.J. wow, what a beast!

are these lanes being manually reseted? because somebody reached in and grabbed the pin 54:57

Firelake about to be firelane, that lane right lane was crazy.

this is what bowling is today we can't live in the past we live in the now actually making bowling look brilliant it's making me want to safe up and go to one of these tournaments having a Mc is pretty awesome i would love one at our tournaments. he gets the crowd going people that's better then just watching a tournament. Bowling now is way better then it use to be it's changing to young bowlers are taken over you hardly see Chris Norm or pdw not even Belmo it's the youth that are taken over

Those spares at 12:06 & 14:09 ... wow !

WOW... STUNNER Hate it for TJ, but he let this one go twice, shame. congrats to EJ again... next numerous in row player of the year?

Randy Pedersen makes some of the funniest comments!!!!!

That spare at 14:23. Wow!

Finally the cheering stuff after each strike or split conversion is over.... That cheering 123 strike was really annoying. Thanks PBA---

Bring Mike back! Bring Mike back!

WOW LOOK DID I SAY EJ WAS LUCKY AF?!

round1 Japan cup, remind you of anything?

Dude that was the biggest choke ever

The first, semi final and title matches were exciting and close

Did anyone notice how crowded the old tournaments were. This place here today has so many free seats. Sad

Oh my goodness! Tommy Jones need Mark to win but he leaves the washout 1-2-4-10 conversions and then he didn’t converted that. Then EJ Tackett wins the 2017 PBA FireLake Tournament Of Champions. What a bad day!

bruh how tf did tommy miss that

I don't mind the arena finals, but build more than just two lanes. Build 4 or even 6 lanes. The Firelake bowling center should be sufficient.

Dom Barrett has a great form. I wish he won but he just couldn’t get into a groove on the left lane. And Pete Weber man I swear I think he lost his flair more than a decade ago. He used to be a force to be reckoned with on tv. Now he’s so inconsistent. Shame..... Still he’s a great bowler to watch too. His form is still perfect and he’s almost 60.

What kind of urethane ball was TJ using ?

the title match between E.J. Tackett and Tommy Jones had a dramatic finish

Is it just me, or did Tommy look like he pulled that last shot on purpose?

Does anyone know what ball that is at 1:11:00 That EJ has? Is that a 900 pearl?

where is Tracie?

not so invisible hand 1:04:04 why?

When you got a ton of people telling you what you need to do to win, or what ball to use, or where to throw it etc and etc., and you cannot think for yourself, you lost already the game. If you watch Weber, and some others they actually depend on their advisers believe it or not aka as their sponsors that they have a contract with for a period of time. Two things I would like to see come back. #1, during the title matches those bowlers should figure things out on their own regarding its conditions. #2, I would like to see the PBA present the trophy and the check to the winners rather than them picking it up. That really sucks. Return back to the days of old.

Is net neutrality already active cause holy shit there are so many ads

Im new to the whole professional bowling seen but how can two lanes with the same oil pattern play differently

720p... really? - C'mon PBA !!

noooooooo!!!!!

Kimberly is so 🔥!😘

Man poor tommy. That had to hurt

My boy TJ got robbed. He should have made that 10 pin the 5th frame and he wouldn’t have needed that mark in the 10th.

To this day I still think Tommy Jones gave Tackett this win

and thats why you bowl all ten.

EJ Tackett is the young Pete weber with a bad temper.

1:20:40 "You can say 'gosh darn it' and not get fined" I wonder what happens if you just abbreviate cusses, like "F'n A," I wonder if players get fined for that?

Anyone notice that hand 52:59?

Ej,daisuki

im dreaming big but i want to be a pro bowler

I like EJ tacket

it is like norm duke-mika koivuniemi finals.mistakes and mistakes.

Wow of all the rotten luck. The 10th frame is the worst one to mess up in. What an ending....

45:15. Anyone ever leave that?

Come on tommy. wtf. get your shut together you could have just thrown a strait ball to win.

Wires Jason belmonte

why does pete wear a golf glove?

Tackett acted like a bigger baby than Sean Rash here

1:27:35 Tommy Jones fails to convert the 1-2-4-10 washout when he needed a mark to win the 2017 Firelake PBA TOC just like Lonnie Waliczek did back in 2004 at the PBA Earl Anthony Classic Presented by Storm against WRW and the Medford Open against PDW.

오마이갓 토미존스 다이겨놓고 뭐하는짓인가여? 상대선수 졌다고 좌절하고 있었는대 볼링 참 어렵네

That guy in the horse mask was hilarious.

EJ tackett was shocked to win the fire lake tournament of champions when tommy Jones could not convert the 1 2 4 10 washout in the 10th frame

Really, Let's get rid of the DJ ! If you want bowling to be recognized as a true sport, stop treating it like a freaking game show. I have enjoyed bowling for over 50 years. I watched it since it came out in the early sixties and I have been bowling that long too. Unfortunately, it has devolved into something that many avid bowling viewer barely recognize. If you want bowling to ever get to the Olympics, you better change the format, the surroundings, and quit trying to cater to the young and hip.

"

i wanted weber to smoke all of them.

If you think this commentary is bad, how about the idiots we have to put up with in the UK when the Weber Cup is televised. They don't know the difference between a split and a washout and haven't even a clue about which number pin is which.

I know it's a stretch, but I can't help but feel T Jones threw the match. Whether on purpose or just out of consciousness, I feel as if he let Tackett win.

what is MC and why is everyone saying fuck MC?

the DJ stuff is completely STUPID.

두손볼러 없스니깐 존나 쳐재미없다ㅡㅡ

F ing terrible !!!

I'm a big fan of EJ and I understand the pressures and hard work but I just didn't like the way he acted at the end there. I get it but just didn't sit well with Me, but he won congrats

kinda crybaby-ish for EJ? Wanna gosh darn it and smack his hand when he didn't carry the 10 pin instead of being a true professional and act like a pro bowler? Just my opinion..

Thank god no shitty 2 handed bowlers made it, back to reality.

They need to get rid of dave. He is the worst commentator.

I feel like Pete Weber and Donald Trump would be best friends
