Barstool Bowling Presents: Carl Does The 2020 PBA Playoffs Part 2

I want to start again by thanking the the PBA for having me out to one of the biggest bowling events of the year. This is part 2 of a 3 part series where I'll take you behind the scenes of the PBA Playoffs. In part 1 we learned how they oil the lanes to make it very difficult for the players in a championship event as well as how the players pick and drill their balls. We met a very interesting, passionate cast of characters that you can check out here. 

This Friday we're back to meet some more characters, except this time we'll be with the bowlers. I had a chance to walk around the Friday practice session and connect with some of the biggest faces on tour. It's my goal to get a lot of them introduced to everyone around here and this is a fantastic start. From Jason Belmonte ripping on me to picking my hair with Kyle Troup to playing a little grabass with legend Norm Duke. It's crazy how nice and friendly everyone was on the eve of the big event. It really is an amazing sport filled with amazing people. 

As you can imagine this is a big deal to me so thanks for following along. I'll be back in Part 3 literally behind the scenes as these guys battle each other in the opening the round. If I got any closer to the action they'd call me for a lane violation. It's that kind of look at the competition and you won't want to miss it. 

You probably also don't want to miss any of this awesome bowling merch. Maybe a loved one could use a new ball under the tree? Maybe a new bag? Either way the pro shop isn't going anywhere anytime soon. That's my commitment to you guys.
