I saw it today, there is some thing about Dave Traber that I don't like(his style maybe)

many contemporary players cannot relate to throwing the ball that hard and straight. it's worked for him and he does it very well.

I am not saying that he is not a good bowler but his form is weird, to me it is.

See it's funny, because I rather like Dave Traber's style. It's something I can understand & it's similar to my game in many ways.

I have trouble with my knee so knee bend is always tough. I find it very helpful to watch someone like Traber work with a style that doesn't require a deeply bent knee.

It always hurts me to watch Butch Soper. The way he rears up at the line looks painful.

Same here Butch Soper approach does hurt to look at!
More than Dave Trabers

I can see how it helps you because of your knee, I would not mind it if it was because of a injury or sometime like that
