We've had two PBA tournaments on the year so far, with history being made on the new home of the PBA, the CW. Has it been good, bad, or otherwise? The US Open is starting this week, and with urethane completely banned for the event, what do we think it's going to look like, what other balls do we see being used instead, and what are the patterns going to look like since they won't be designed to mitigate urethane use??

About This Video

In this Break Down Pair episode, I’m talking through the PBA being back on TV—now on the CW—and what that’s looked like through the first couple of shows. I get into the stuff that’s working (the overall look, the set/graphics still being sharp, and Rick Allen having a legit TV voice) and the stuff that’s clearly still in the “growing pains” phase. The player intros? Yeah… pretty rough right now. I like the idea of trying something different, but the execution feels stiff, and bowling people can smell “cringe” a mile away. I also break down the reality of live broadcasting from the booth—listening to producers in your ear while you’re trying to talk, keep a thought, and actually watch ball reaction—and why that’s not as easy as people think. Then we roll into early-season PBA storylines: WSU guys making noise, why Brandon Banta isn’t some “unknown,” and how that first show started like a train wreck before turning into an absolute statement (missing early, then a 300 in the title match). Finally, I tee up the US Open with urethane completely banned, and why that changes what we’ll see on the lanes and how patterns may play when they’re not built to mitigate urethane anymore.
