patrick allen is the best!
« on: August 15, 2005, 03:18:58 AM »
i was at the pro am in liverpool on the 12th and PA was their but i didint get to bowl with him durring the pro am. but after it was done me and my friend(sexybeast) got a pair and started throwing a game and PA walked up and started throwing next to us. it was awesome but i was suprised to see him throw an ultimate inferno and a ebonite xxxcel. i asked him if he was sticking with hammer this year and he said no he is going free agent this year. any way why he is the best is we shot about 1.5 games next to eachother and then he started giving me tips on were the lanes play. then he asked me if i threw 15 and i said yes and then he said try this and threw me his UI. i was in shock and then i took a few shots with it and then he just packed up his stuff and left. he gave me his UI! patrick allen gave me his UI!

It is great to hear you tell this. The one problem I have with pros giving stuff away is that people start to expect it. When I was in Birmingham I overheard a few people say this person did not give anything to their caddy and then complain about it for the last two days. It is awsome they do that don't get me wrong. Hope that ball works for ya.

I'm more excited about a great bowler like PA being a free agent than being under contract to one ball company. It'll be interesting to see and know what he uses each week to make the show, and how he makes those choices. Well, not that we would hear it anyway, but my wish would be for him to say something like "Yeah, this week I needed something with more of a skid/flip look so I chose to use ###### ball."

you know this would be great but since the pba is not gonna give free advertising on their show, we will never know what balls they use.  one of the biggest things i would love to see.  "whats in the bag"

Which reminds me....I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that again this year (like I did last season).  Afterall, I'm not nearly as keen as I used to be at naming a ball strictly by its colors....

Andy, you've always seemed to know the color of SteveSmith's balls.

monstercrank i was there too. i did get to bowl with patrick and he gave me a tutorial of how to play that pba pattern (first time i have ever done that). he was very nice to me as well. i had also heard he was a jerk but i wonder if that is just sometimes jealousy. i had a blast bowling with him tommy delutz jr, joe ciccone, as well as a few other talented regional pba players. and kelly kulick is a cutie and one heck of a bowler. everyone was great and michael tryniski did a great job organizing it.

yea mike is awesome but for some reason just about everyone hates him, i dont know why, this confuses me. but the people who say PA is a jerk brobably dont even talk to him. the first time i saw him at the pro am he looked extremely unapproachable. but he broke the ice by saying "your not going to get it back to the pocket from their, nobody is." he seemes pretty nice. and when he gave the ball to me it wasent like a publicity stunt like on tv because it was his ball he was throwing and nobody else was around. and as for throwing big b he looked pretty un impressed the way the UI was reacting, but the xxxcel looked pretty good in his hands.

oh and by the way joe was the last person i shot with so if their was one more game i would have shot with PA.

PA throws it pretty good for a guy with Down syndrome.
