Watching him make the change to the backup ball in matchplay to make the run just to get on to the show was wild.

I think it's hilarious with all the people who hate it. That is a major skill/talent and not easy to do

Exactly, he just didn't all willy nilly decide to throw a backup ball and hope for the best.  Obviously he's practiced it, and have to have the guts to do it for a national title is pretty impressive.  Congrats to him.

We have a one (Right) handed bowler in a league who can throw it equally well with a hook or a backup ball. His average is around 215.

Most of the time he uses the backup ball but some nights he simply switches to throwing a standard hook ball and throws a backup ball at all his right hand spares.

If you have the skill more power too ya.

Same with bowling 2 handed. If I thought my old bones would let me I would try but I can't get into those positions.

I bowled with a guy 40 years ago who could average 200+ with a backup ball if the left side was better than the right.

Tell em, I also walked 40 miles one way to the bowling center in a blizzard. With no coat or shoes. I shoot 535 and let me tell you, they were really tough. Back when bowling had integrity!

Sheeeeiiiitttt, that ain't nothin. I used to have to carve my own ball, out of wood. And, and I also had to make my own pins. We didn't have any namby-pamby lane oil. We had bacon grease and was glad to get it.

Oh wait, I only started bowling 10 years ago, so I might be mistaken. My bad.

But stay off my lawn anyway...

For it to be “bowling” the release must be AS I DEFINE TRADITIONAL!

As long as you throw it similar to me or worse, it’s fine. If you do anything that I cannot release wise I want it outlawed.
