i think it will depend on the shot and the approach, for example Jason has problems with synthetic lanes, he gets stuck, so he will proly slow down, but i would say he can easily make it 19mph
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

Osku's spare ball was clocked over 30mph, 2-handed I'd guess 20mph

I have heard osku throws 30 at single pin spares all the time.  

I have watched Brian Valenta throw 25mph plus for 8 games, and once saw him hit 35 on a speed gun.

Us 2-handed bowlers are "usually" around 20-21 mph at release with the ball being around 18 mph at the pins.  I, too, saw Valenta at the Hoinke last November.  I actually got to bowl with him on the same pair of lanes during qualifying.  He was around 20 mph at his release.  What was he using to get to 35mph?  I was pretty sure that Robert Smith had the fastest speed clocked at 33.

We work with the same coach and ball driller.  We were just seeing how fast he could throw it.  I hit 25 he just smoked me, lol.  

Don't know how accurate it was as we were just using a speed gun, lot of variables could have raised or lowered the speed.
