Title: The OFFICIAL Ric Hamlin appreciation THREAD.
Post by: BrunsNick on June 18, 2005, 06:08:18 PM: I don't know of another person that has:

1) More overall experience with the technical side of bowling, drilling, physics, etc.

and

2) Gets so much crap for it.

I'm just glad Ric has chosen to stick around in hopes he will help educate the general public and broaden their horizons. For that, we should thank him... so thanks Butt-head!

Viva La Relocacion! lol

Post by: a_ak57 on June 19, 2005, 02:14:46 PM: See Ric, everyone appreciates you. I have no doubt that even with your beliefs on subjects, if a customer came in saying "I want the CG kicked out", you wouldn't stand there and tell him he's wrong. It may not seem like it on here, but I can tell (and so should everyone) that you wouldn't try to force your beliefs on anyone else...

Now, how's about sending me a zone classic?

I owe him too. Thanks for the new layouts, and especially the new thumb pitch.
They've helped a lot. Now if I can just relearn how to play the lanes...
