What about Mike Scroggins sweeping Chris Warren and outscoring him 1001-670?  Closest game was 65 pins and he lost two games by 100+.

Some of you guys are absolutely clueless.  Dave had a lousy day bowling...it happens to everyone.  As far as making some sort of adjustment goes, he might not have been able to.  Billy O was obviously locked in, and maybe DD's only chance was to try something risky.  Cheetah is high risk/reward anyhow.  You go out and do the best you can.  I can promise you that anyone that has had any success on Cheetah over a decent amount of games has dumped a few in the ditch.  You message board champs would get run over by these guys.  Just keeping it on the lane isn't always good enough.  It certainly wouldn't have been against Billy.  

Borincano-
  Have you actually ever seen DD bowl?  He has PLENTY of hand.  That was not his problem.  Your comments were way off.  Like I said earlier, I'm sure he could have kept it on the lane but he needed to take chances to match Billy's scores.

Then you need to get out there on the tour and show them how it is done.

i've bowled 4 pba regionals on the cheetah pattern for a total of 32 games with no gutterballs----does this mean i should have won those tournaments based on this one statistic ? i think not.

And are you a better bowler than some of the guys that HAVE ditched a few?  The point I was trying to make was the guys that are saying that DD sucks because he threw 4 gutters really have no clue.

I love how almost everyone on this site vigorously defends every pro out there(except the leftys, lol) like they take personal offense to the comments about them. Take this thread for instance, or every thread about Chris Barnes that has been posted basically, and use them as an example to prove my point and tell me I'm wrong... The best part is they are probably the same people b!tchin' and throwin' popcorn at the TV when their favorite QB throws an interception. HAHHAHAHHA a bunch of hypocrites on this site for sure.

That was the shark, not the cheetah.....

quote:

The Cheetah pattern like all PBA patterns you need to have a good hand and arm coordination and the proper bowling ball to attack them from any angle. Robert Smith showed how to do it one way and Mika did it in a very opposite way. If Mika had started with the ball that he finished maybe, maybe the final results could have been different.

I find it interesting that all of you that are bashing Dave's performance aren't exempt PBA players.

It seems he is bowling for a living and all of you that are bashing his performance are writing about it on Ball Reviews for a living.

When you have done what Double D has done in his career, you have the right to criticize. But I suspect that NONE OF YOU can even hold a candle to Dave's accomplishments.

As far as not liking him on a personal level, that is certainly your right. Years ago, I too wasn't a fan of Double D. But over the past few years he and I have become friends.

You may not respect the man, but you have to respect what he has accomplished.

Is this post really going on. By a show of hands answer the following questions before you post about an exempt touring player.

1 I am currently on the pro tour
2 I have regional pro titles to my credit
3 I bowl numerous high ranking amateur events which I win all the time.

or this suits most of you. (Not all don't get your panties in a bunch)

4 I can strike on the wall of China and think I am god. I also can talk about exempt pro players like I am better than they are.
5 I average 225 in my 3 leagues that I bowl, BUT yet won't put up 40 dollars on myself in a local tournament. (Not because you are scared of getting your teeth bashed in by the local people, you are just all around better than they are.)
6 My personal favorite, I could go out on tour but I just have too many ball companies looking at sponsoring me and I can't decide which company I should  throw.  

I understand that this is a ballreview site, I come here to get information about ball companies, new products, ball layouts, and just overall chat about different topics. It is a sad day when an exempt pro touring player makes it to the TOP 16 for the week and all you can do is put him down. When you beat ANY of those guys out on tour, let me know.  

Oh one more thing whoever said I haven't guttered in 5 years yeah, but you probably haven't struck more than 5 times in a game in 5 years either. LOL
