Thank You Chris Barnes
« on: March 22, 2009, 05:05:51 AM »
I want to give kudos to Chris in the telecast for telling us not only what moves he is making, but actually going through in detail the balls he is using and in the first game, telling us the pin placements of the bowling balls as well.  After the second game, he specifically mentioned using the Resurgence but if it starts getting too early or too flat, he will switch to the Momentum Swing to give him more backend.  Thank you Chris!!!!  This is what the shows need.  BTW....love this format; not for everyweek, but like the variety of formats this year.

I'm just glad Chris kicked butt on WRW, just to watch the looks on WRW's face was priceless!

Are you guys saying WRW can get in and swing it if the lane condition allows him to?  If so then I agree, even though I haven't seen him do in some older videos where I think they were throwing plastic or in the 90s.  Either way he can do it, it's just that most of the conditions they face on tour have him playing straighter because his carry percentage suffers if he plays in to a certain point, right?

I missed this show and really wish I didn't, I'm glad Barnes won and that he's doing better on TV right now.

Walter Ray is just so one dimensional with his game.  If he loses his carry on that down and in shot he is cooked.  Did anyone else here him talk about starting to use a two handed release?  He is practicing it because he knows he can't hook it.  My grandpa would spin in his grave if he sees Walter throw a two hander on tv.


One dimensional my azz....  You don't win the most tournaments in PBA tour history by being one dimensional....

Briancrx,  If Barnes were to replace Randy he wouldn't be doing too well since that would mean he didn't make the show.  Are you sure that's what you want?
