Who was this bowler??
« on: November 09, 2008, 06:16:24 AM »
I remember a few years ago, it might have been an ameteur and he threw a 15 pound plastic ball with two fingers and no thumb (not two hands). I dont remember who he was bowling but it was on tv. Can anyone help me?

It had to be Pratt... everyone else that's made the show with a unique release has been a 2 hander.

Mike Miller also threw a 300 on TV with a no thumb release, but that was back in 1999...
