Today on the show, I’m joined by PBA star Tom Smallwood, the current leader in the Regular Division at the USBC Open Championships in Reno. Tom breaks down what went right during his tournament run, his mindset heading into the event, and how his team approached the lane conditions to put together an impressive performance. He also discusses what clicked during singles competition that led to his outstanding 836 series and what it takes to stay locked in on one of bowling’s biggest stages. In addition, Tom shares his thoughts on the latest equipment from MOTIV Bowling, discusses the USBC’s decision to create three separate competition divisions, and explains why he hasn’t traditionally been a regular participant at the Open Championships. Finally, Tom talks about the importance of teamwork, information sharing, and making the right adjustments throughout the week—factors he believes are critical for success in Reno. Don’t miss this in-depth conversation with one of bowling’s top professionals as he reflects on a remarkable performance and what it takes to compete at the highest level.
