When Jason Belmonte shoes up for the 2025 PBA Tour Finals this weekend, he’ll do so as the number three seed.

It’s the last national tour event he plans to bowl this season.

Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with Belmo while he was at home in Australia.

He discussed a noticeable change in his demeanor on television over the years, winning a title with Bill O’Neill and witnessing his PBA Hall of Fame induction, and the controversy at the Players Championship that spilled over onto social media.

The 2025 PWBA Tour is off and running with three events in the rearview mirror and a crop of young stars emerging before our eyes.

A Wisconsin native is among those rising stars, and she's received a boost from Bowl Forward to help her along the way!

Kelly Whipple of Sheboygan was recently named Bowl Forward's Future Stars Award winner to the tune of $1,500, the richest prize of the three awarded in late April.

Whipple has plenty of other supporters along for the ride, too. One of them, that isn't typically linked to bowling, remains the talk among her friends and social media followers.

In a part of New York that's a lot closer to Canada than it is to Manhattan, a teenage bowler often turns heads. The thing is, it's not just for what he does on the lanes, but back behind the masking units as well!

Joey Dayer, the fedora-wearing, Buffalo area YouTuber who has grown a huge following on his youtube.com/@Joethepro181 channel, doesn't just fix out-of-range calls and continuous cycles. He has disassembled and reassembled all 12 machines at the center where he started bowling, now known as Cloverbank Bowling.

When previous guest Yvonne Bennett took to Facebook and posted about a 97-year-old center that had not had working pinspotters in years, Joe The Pro was on the case. A few months later, bowlers were celebrating a big revival on the lanes, which are housed in a church. Dayer is who Bennett credits with making it possible.
