In this video we are going to look at what I think are some of the most impressive PBA records of all time. We’ll look at when these records were set, who set them, and discuss whether or not they will be broken. All of these records came from the PBA website and you can find a full list of PBA scoring records here: https://www.pba.com/pba-tour-scoring-records

Hosier is at 236 I believe right now. Bowl with him often, he’s a machine! Even better guy!
Definitely more a "feat" than a "record", but Pete Weber's 5 US Open victories over 4 different decades will NEVER be broken, eclipsed, or even flirted with. Definitely a worthy video project in and of itself BTW!
Who has the most Tournament of Champion titles ?
The only scoring record I think is completely safe is mika's 199 pin victory over Tom Daugherty. Every other record I could see being broken with the scoring pace now a days. Are they all impressive absolutely. But with scores year over year going up all these are possible to beat. No one will ever win by 200 pins.
These were all monumental achievements from some legendary names, but the greatest bowler of all time, Earl Anthony, winning 43 titles while bowling only 14 years full-time cements his place at the top.
lefty records dont count. lol. there arent as many lefties, so their shot stays consistent a lot longer.
1:59 The record prior to Mike Scroggins' 79 game streak was none other than Walter Ray Williams Jr, who had 61 in a row.
Don't ask me how belmo with his major wins is not on this list, but ok. I guess maybe it will be more impressive in like 2 years when he laps 2nd place in major wins.
Andy Neuer is over 320 300 games now and over 300 800 series now as of 2023. He has 5 300’s this year alone.
Pretty sure you get 30 bonus pins in the PBA for each match play win, so it's conceivable someone gets hot and goes undefeated in match play, and eventually break Dave Davis' record.
I think “Packy” Hanrahan got close to Mccune’s record, Sometime in 2023 it came down to the end missed by a few pins.
Hmm, maybe I should ask Mike if he knows about that record. I bowl in a league he's in on Wednesday nights here. Good vid.
All I can say is… who do you think you are, I am!!!
The 5 player team record for a single game is 1,457…..Only 43 pins short of perfection. While only one game of course, this is an astonishing performance i think.
You. didn't do much research. You just went to one old out-dated website. I mean, it wouldn't have taken much research at all to find out Mike Scroggins' thoughts about his streak. Instead, you just wonder?
You forgot the 8 game scoring record (2165 pins) set in 1968 by Full Roller Billy Hardwick (averaging 271 for 8 games) with a simple cork filled rubber ball at the Japan Cup.
That record stands even in this day of Two-Handers and modern cheater tech.
Did Scroggins win the 2 tournaments he was in when he set the 200 game streak record?
Don’t know if it was a record, but a long time ago Bob Strampe rolled 37 consecutive games without an open frame.
900?
Guinness Book of World Records, the most 300's is Bob Learn Jr.
If you shot 300 do you stop the number of consecutives 200's?
Scroggins did 79 200s in a row in 2005. 1:50 you then say that his record has now stood for 23 years. That math work does not add up. That is 19 years.
The 9 game rec has been beat in 2021. . But McCune's was 9 in a row. Recsnik's was a double's and singles event. So McCune still has the PBA 9 game record. Recsnik opened the weekend with games of 300, 256 and 269 for an 825 series and added 822 in doubles (289, 264, 269) and 836 in singles (259, 290, 287) for a 2,483 all-events total, a 275.88 average.
What's not as impressive anymore is throwing a 300 game (on local level). Back in the day the entire house would stop to watch your 10th frame. Today it's nothing more than a hi-5…or hey good game. Mild, forgiving, consistent house conditions and advanced ball tech have ruined that accomplishment.
Walter Ray Williams Jr also holds the MOST earned ever of ANY PBA champion of over $5 million! Old dead eye! horse shoe champion too.
Adam Barta has around 250 300 games, he'll definitely be breaking that record.
THIS is greatness: The narrator referred only to "Walter Ray". Not "Williams", not even once.
I feel that Walter Ray Williams Jr. is the best right-handed bowler of the bowling era . Jason Belmonte is the best two-handed bowler of the Era. And the late Earl Anthony will always be the best left-hander bowler of all time.
