The show started out great, with Angelo and Couch going at it, and throwing some great shots.  That stone 8 pin really took the wind out of Couch's sails.

Then, the Rick Lawrence fiasco began. I'm not trying to say the guy can't bowl, but he's, ummmm... shall we say, less than impressive to watch.  To the untrained eye, it looks like he has no backswing and gets about 3 or 4 revs (which you can count watching the ball going down the lane), all of which are provided by a robo-brace.

Actually, it probably looks that way to the trained eye, also.

Those two nose jobs which resulted in strikes really made me want to puke, and completely ruined the show.  For WRW to lose in that fashion, after all the hype about history in the making, was very depressing.

This guy Lawrence was real lucky to get past Williams. He gets 2 ridiculous strikes through the nose, but those are the breaks. He also has a hitch in his arm swing!! I'm amazed that he won. His game is very weak compared to Williams,Angelo and Couch.

Man, I just got home from traveling league and read this post and can't believe all the comments about Lawrence getting all the breaks and how he throws the ball like crap, etc.. Big deal if he got a couple of breaks, I guess Walter Ray has never gotten a break before has he?? Come on..

The bottom line is he is a PBA champion and all of the people complaining about him are not!!

He has been on tour 15 years and won 2 tournamnets and I for one am happy that he won instead of the same old people every week..

Way to go Rick Lawrence, congrats to you!!

If they only made a ball that would carry that da_n 7 pin (and I am right handed!!)
