Unusual Pro TV Ball Choice......
« on: April 23, 2006, 06:09:37 AM »
When it comes to the telecasts do/have any of the pro's made an unusual/different ball selection to the norm?

What I mean is most of the time you see the bowlers using mostly top end/highly aggresive balls,but has/do any of them ever bowl with something mellow/entry level on the telecasts such as a plain urethane ball or something like a powergroove etc?

I would have got away with it if it was not for those pesky kids (Behind my lane) and those blasted 10 pins.

Also, someone threw an x zone a few years ago, and that was a very old ball at the time.


That was Lonnie wallazckiek ( or however u spell it )

Joe Ciccone threw a Raging Red Fuze a while back as well.

I remember Couch throwing the Skull ball for strikes and whatever Matrix ball (I think the black/silver one) for spares on TV one time

Norm uses milder even rolling equipment.  When he was with AMF, he used the black tour menace quite often as opposed to there stronger stuff.  My guess would be he likes to get a more even consistent read.

that ball was a dark columbia pulse with amf logo

No, Lonnie hasn't been on the show for 2 years now I think.  That was Jim Pratt who was the no thumber, and lost to Mika in the finals

That's what Pratt did year before last in the Geico Classic.  DT Eagle ball for strikes, playing around the first arrow.  Energy for left-side spares.  Shame he lost to Mika in the title match.
