One of the Greatest Shots in Candlepin Bowling History! 

The only possible shot given the lay of the pins. A good shot given a miraculous pin arrangement.

0:18 He knew he had it.

My dad made the spread eagle, with no wood, on this show back in the mod 70s. Sadly, I don’t think there’s any extant video from those days.

I miss watching Tommy bowl…

I've seen crazier shots, but that was placed perfectly 👌

I wonder if the 4-6-7-10 or 7-10 has ever been made in candlepin without wood?!

Big four candlepin conversion, That was a huge spare

One of the Greatest Shots in Candlepin Bowling History! 0:16

It's Tom Olszta. What else is there to know.

Olszta never lost his prime

that shot looks pretty obvious if you know how to play the wood. not sure about the greatest shot but def one of the greatest bowlers

need to find a candlepin spot near me been like 25 years since i have played...

that should count as a strike

Just another example of why Tom Olszta is the GOAT of Candlepin bowling.

This is a lot better than trying to convert the 5-7-10 in 10 pin

I don’t think this was even the greatest shot in the history of that night. The three and one (no wood) McKinley made to force overtime against Al Johnson is the biggest pressure shot I’ve seen on what used to be the biggest stage for a single competitor.

I remember watching this on tv when I was kid. Such a great shot on that stage

Perfect!
