wheel chairs
« on: December 21, 2008, 07:22:26 AM »
What is the best wheel chair bowling you have seen (highest game/series).   Do you know of anyone who does bowl from a wheel chair and how do they increase speed without throwing out their arm or dislocate their shoulder?
--------------------
High game 300
High series 804
High triplicate 774
High average 221
best game. when I was 6 I bowled a 158

Guy (Peter Arbalo) in our association averages around 180 and he's in his 70s I think.  He's pretty famous for wheelchair sports in general and does a lot of clinics around the world helping others learn how to play in wheelchairs.  

I'm not sure how he generates the speed he does (its not extraordinarily high or low)except he is fit.  He locks the chair at the foul line and leans over a bit, taking an extra swing to build up momentum he releases the ball on the second.
