Try the Texas Hop.  Shawn Maldonado has won four regionals(SW) in a row last time I looked.

It's bad technique that Maldonado can successfully repeat and get away with. Attempt at your own peril.

I wouldn't call it "bad" technique, but it's certainly not something you would be likely to teach. Still, it shows yet again that it really doesn't matter what you do as long as you can repeat it.

Semantics aside, if it's a technique you wouldn't teach, it isn't good. I was also thinking as much about the stress that a plant-and-hop puts on your leg. It's not a technique you'd likely take into your middle and senior years.

Trying to beat another dead horse Bullred?  (2 handed deliveries), as long as the ball goes over the foul line, who cares how it gets to the head pin?

Naw Bradley, just trying to get an intelligent bite to continue the subject, but just got a smarta__
nibble.

Some bowling alleys aren't as well kept and cleaning your shoes regularly isn't a bad idea. Amazed the kinds of crumbs and other junk you may be walking through

Far from it.   I have been privileged to bowl with most all of the young breakout bowlers from this area.

A lot of them I watched through the TBOA days, TTBA,  as Sasba guests just kids, to the regionals, and some to national level.

I remember Lacy,  Richard Howell: The  "Tazmanian Devil"  from Memphis,  a left handed  cranker named Smurf and many others.

Remember when Richard came to SASBA tournaments with  A.D. Byrd.  He was the first  no thumber, one handed bowlers most of us had ever seen.  He was scary.

All we gentlemen, had the repect of us "older" bowlers.

The post was to just 'boost" Shawn is a light way
