Title: For those that think Rudy stinks.
Post by: absoluteisanidiot on December 16, 2005, 12:31:28 AM
This is just to show how good he really can be and that there are going to be off weeks.

Missed the cut:

Patrick Allen
Parker Bohn
Norm Duke
Tom Baker
Jason Couch
Brian Himmler
Joe Ciccone
Dave D'Entremont
Rick Steelsmith
Steve Jeros
Bob Learn Jr.

Just to name a few stars and those are some of the best.  

Way to go Rudy and good luck man way to grind.  I'm sure Triggerman will chime in and take my side here.

Not knocking on rudy but just goes to show ya revs aren't everything.  if he could learn to back off his ball and go straighter on those lighter patterns he would kill.

I love Rudy and he knows it but it almost seems like his versaltility has vanished. Even Couch has been working on toning it down for the last 2 years. Rudy seems to have the same problems as I do when I bowl the finals in Regionals. He usually bombs them after they transition and you never really see that early enough in match play. He will pick it up in the second half. I am sure of it. I would like nothing better than to see him exempt next year.  beans

I agree Lane1bowler Rudy is still a great bowler and let's get behind him the rest of the year and give him the respect he deserves.  This is who we have this year in our corner let's stand behind him.  

Go Rudy....

I personally think the problem is the equipment Rudy is throwing.

I personaly dont think he will make a show this year. He is a great power player and like all power players he needs area down lane and that is something that is not conducive to todays pba patterns. In regional competition he isnt competeing against the best in world but maybe the best in the region. So when the lanes do play more in favor for power ther are those who are just better at it than he is out there on a national level or world level. All those exempt guys on tour can throw it and throw it good but it comes down to breaks and luck of the draw something he hasnt had yet. If he does get the breaks and a few good draws he could make it but I just dont think it is going to happen. Hang in there rudy and keep adjusting your game untill you get the right combination to work for ya.

I enjoy the little I've seen of his game and I like Rudy Gulianni even better!

I was talking last week with the pro shop operator as he was bowling and unable to see the show. When I told him the score an that they were bowling on a reverse block and shooting in the 180 190 200 range his first comment was to the effect that when the average league bowler sees that then they think that they can beat the pros now.
 We all know better,or should. Those guys are shooting on tougher patterns that most league bowlers will never see,and if they did,they would only shoot 150.
 I include myself in that category. I know to move and change balls,but wouldn't even dream of beating those guys on that pattern.

I disagree.

If you are a guy who consistently is pretty accurate but have trouble carrying on league conditions....You may go up on PBA patterns.

I do...when I bowl in PRO ams I am often just slightly trailing the pros which is higher than my normal league standard.  Many of my acquaintances go from the 1902 to the 130s.

Because PBA patterns in general have a lot of backend and they are tough to find the pocket...often with a lot of head oil in the front and a pretty flat pattern.

This is a shot that is not that hard for me.  However I struggle in league often if the requirement is speed.

REgards,

PS however one time I took in my league stuff(high flare stacked stuff I was killin our local shot with) and embarrassed myself like everyone else!

Part of being a great bowler is being able to adapt to the conditions and Rudy hasn't been able to do that.  Robert Smith throws the same way and shoots just fine and has won on tour.

lucky--you know they do not use the same oil pattern for pro am's as they do for the actual event!!! they use a house shot..the number of folk that tell me they shot higher than the pro's at the pro am is crazy...its totally different.they would not get folk signing up if they could only shoot 120.

Actually it depends.
Went to Indy 2 years ago and they put out a house shot but at Chicago they put down the tourney shot (Shark). I know this cause I asked the guy that was oiling the lanes.
I shot better in Chicago than Indy.

It varies and depends on the house, some use house shot and some use the pba pattern that is used the rest of the weekend.  Most alley owners would rather have a house shot for their scores to be up in the pro ams.
