Research Request
« on: January 30, 2004, 03:27:20 AM »
Hi all,
I'm doing some independant research on what pro bowlers use during telecasts.  I am using this year as a period for sampling, and would appreciate some help from the knowledgable people on this board.  I am looking into what type of balls the pros use in each telecast (since getting other info is too difficult) and what the recommended oil usage is for each ball they use is.  My theory is that the pros will rarely use heavy oil recommended balls, but I would like to be able to put together some comprehensive statistics for the year.  This is of course all for personal knowledge.  I'll publish the results of it all after I gather complete information, but unfotunatly what I have is VERY incomplete.  I am basically working off memory.  So if you guys have some knowledge that will fill in the gaps, I would greatly appreicate it.  Listed are the tournaments, participants, and whatever I have remembered about the telecasts.

i'm pretty sure Mika used a Stinger Low-Flare Particle at the Cambridge, and if it wasn't the Cambridge, then it was at the Miller...whichever tournament he shot the 300 at.
