first off, i think there should be a forum for PBA tour talk. just a thought.
More importantly, how fast do the pros throw? there is rarely a cats system on the telecast to give speed and revs. Today it looked like Lonnie was throwing around 14 mph. It looked really slow. Scroggins looked like he was throwing no more than 17 mph and 10 revs. and couch looked like he was throwing 20+, but he always looks like that.
Does anyone know how fast most of the pros throw? WRW? PB3? PDW? I've seen such varied info on telecasts. People say PDW throws so fast because of the big backswing, but the last time i saw him clocked it was only around 18 mph, which seems on the low end for the pros. Healey seems like a slower throwing Pro, but last time i saw him clocked it was around 18.5-19. Duke is generally a slower throwing guy with incredible accuracy.
I just want this kind of info when watching a telecast. It gives something to pay attention to when the telecast is INCREDIBLY BORING, like today. Must have been one of the most boring shows I've tuned in to in a while. Thank god couch was on it, otherwise it would have been 100% football time.
And lastly, i really don't understand how it is even physically possible for Smith to throw the fireballs he does. If i hit 22 mph on the gun, it looks like there is not enough time to even make the turn, regardless of how many revs i put on it. i don't see how anyone can do what he does. but that is old news.
