Tell me who your favorite bowler is,and why!
« on: August 14, 2009, 09:18:02 AM »
I'm asking the question;who is your favorite bowler.I don't care if this bowler is a PBA member or not.
I want to know why they are your favorite.Give me some reasons why.
Are they from your home state,hometown.Did you grow up with them,go to high school or college with
them.Did you bowl with them in junior leagues or adult leagues.Do you like them because their game is similar to yours.Do they have the attitude that you like.Or do you just like them because of  their talent.
I'm not asking this to be intrusive. I enjoy the differences in bowlers styles and ability,and what draws
some people to certain athletes and not others.

I have two favorites.

Norm Duke - very versatile. love how he attacks the lanes and even wins when hes sick. I also find it impressive that a man that skinny can bowl so well (im not much bigger then he is)

My friend who I've grown up bowling with. Hes the only bowler I know that can grab a ball off the rack that doesnt fit him is all beat up and had no practice... arrives late and throws the ball smooth and flush right in the pocket. hes just a talented bowler... not 220+ material or pba but he can hold an average in the 2-teens and doesnt seem to take things too seriously and I like that.

I have two favorites also:

1. Norm Duke- Such a great bowler and competitor on the lanes and a great guy off. Also, his versatility really inspired me and helped me raise my game, especially on Sport Shots.

and

2. Tim Mack: He grew up in my hometown and I remember being 5 years old and just watching him in awe at what he could do. Simply an amazing physical game.

Michael Fagan
I could watch him throw a bowling ball all day long.Such an easy fluid swing,simply effortless.

Robert Smith.
