I agree with Russell on this one, cool and congrats to the man that shot a 300 from a wheel chair. I am sure it is a very special occasion for him along with anyone else who shoots a 300. Bowling though has got some very high scores being shot all over the place with the frequency that is unheard of. I will take it one step further and add Kamron Doyle to this thread. We have a 12 year old not only competing with the top pros of the game, but winning. Granted the kid has got something special going on, but where else you gonna see that. Maybe golf, but it is usually on the womens side and they rarely make the cut against the top players in the LPGA.

 Don't get me wrong, I applaud these competitors for their accomplishments, but what does that say about the overall difficulty of the sport they succeed in ??

Tracy Austin, Lexi Thompson, Paula Creamer and so on. All women and all well into their teens when winning, not 12.  I am not trying to belittle bowling or take away anything that these people have done.  The fact of the matter is, I am sitting here watching a ball game and I do not see any 12 year olds on the field or see any guys in wheelchairs.

 As I said before, good for them, I have bowled with a person in a wheelchair and I have the utmost respect for him and this guy. But what does it tell the general public who knows nothing about bowling ? It may be different for all of us and if I come off as narrow minded because of my thoughts on it so be it.

Congrants to any one who shoots a 300. Especially to the guy in the wheel chair. Who never gave up on himself or the sport. I bet he does not complain about being in a wheel chair as much as some of you complain about the THS.

Some guys bitch the THS is to easy , then you go to the Nationals and bitch the shot is to hard and not Fair. You sound like the occupy wallstreet bunch /99%ers.
If the sport is going down hill get involved and help try and make it better. become a coach promote & our sport to the youth, that is who will save our sport for the future.  Get a well known Top coach and have a clinic in your Center, so bowlers can get better. try and get a sport league in your house to show bowlers what real bowling should be. Bowl in a sport league etc. There is a lot we can do to save and improve the sport we love.

I do practice what I preach, I am a Silver Coach, I bowl in 2 sport leagues and 2 ego booster leagues (aka THS). We have a Clinic every year with Fred Borden & Ron Hatfield, I bowl in as many tournaments as my time will allow and I do what ever I can to help promote our sport in a positive light. Get off the couch and get involved.

Sorry for the rant just my .02

This thread proves bowlers aren't smart enough to think out of the box. Bowling is one of the few "sports", and I use that term loosely, that allows kids to participate. There are prodigies in every sport. They just are not physically able to compete in the NFL and NBA, because in real sports you have to have athleticism.

The guy shoots 300 in a wheel chair and gets blasted, but Matt Mcneil is placed on a throne because his 300 wasn't on a "ths". Sounds ass backwards to me.

Kudos to the guy in the wheel chair to do what will most likly never be done again and to continue do do what you love even though you lost your ability to walk.

And to Russell you sir are a tool. The bowling industry will be better when you leave the business. My shops manager just lost his leg and is going to try to continue bowling and according to you coming back and shooting 300 is tainted because its not a sport shot. But Lebron James stubs his toe comes back and he would be miamis hero.

Right on, Free Agent.  Russell's just an angry young man who has a lot of growing up to do.

One of the worst things about all the high scores in recent years is that a truly great accomplishment like this is buried in the middle of all the other 300s rolled on easy lane conditions with the help of too-powerful balls.
