900 Global would like to congratulate Walter Ray Williams Jr. as this year’s PBA Player of the Year recipient.
Walter captured two tournaments, the Motor City Open and the 2010 USBC Master’s, while making three other telecasts and earning over $145,000 in 17 tournaments. At age 50, Walter becomes the oldest winner of the award, while capturing yet another record that he shared with Earl Anthony, as he becomes the first 7-time winner of the award.
Walter stated: “To capture the Player of the Year Award multiple times is simply incredible. When I started out, I never dreamed of anything like this. It’s been a fun year since joining the 900 Global team. I matched up quickly, winning with the Bounty Hunter in Detroit, and then I really liked the different look I got with the Break Out.â€
900 Global: What do you see different about the two balls?
Walter: “The Bounty Hunter has a strong motion, but is less violent off the spot than the Break Out. I really liked the Break Out reaction toward the end of the season. Most people don’t see me play the inside portion of the lane, but I was crossing 6th and 7th arrows later in the blocks at Lumber Liquidators Marathon Open and had a good look. It didn’t take me long to gain confidence in the 900 Global line once I started throwing it. I’ve known some of the ball techs for years and knew the quality of their work, and that they would develop a versatile lineup.â€
