So I'm browsing old videos because I'm making a new ball vs old ball comparison to show they're not that different which is sure to piss people off, BUT I came across this video, and once it gets off the lane level view, I start paying a lot more attention to the kid throwing it than I do the ball. I would KILL to throw the ball like this. Honestly, I want somebody to find something wrong with this kid's game, cause I'm not seeing a thing. He's got that effortless combo of heavy roll, but great push down the lane, really nice looking roll, and super solid form. I watched it again just because it was so nice to watch the first time.

I can, and it is less about being something wrong, and more of a nitpick.
All we saw were strikes. And that isn't necessarily a bad thing. But nothing on spares; in particular, corner pins. Everyone works on their strike game, which is great, but how are their percentages at single pin spares? accuracy as those go?
My coach in collegiates back in the early 90s made us, in a 32 lane house, take the 7 pin and 10 pin
*only* off the rack on each lane before going home one night. If you took anything else off, you stayed on that lane and tried again. Take them off, go to the next lane and do it again. All the way down to the end, then you could go home. Fastest person finished in roughly 30 minutes. Most of our teams took a good hour and a half.
That, in addition to a solid strike game would be gold.
Sig says 241, which seems to be from a summer league. I can't make that up but you can't hide from google.
IIRC, you should be able to grab his name as well. plug that into bowl.com and you'll find all of his stats.
