Favorite: Fagan.  So smooth it's crazy!

Balls in the bag and order they come out:
#1-Anarchy #2- Virtual Energy  #3- Virtual Gravity #4- Gravity Shift #5- Big Hit (spare and really dry)
#6- Teal Rhino Pro (oldie but a goodie)

I'm only listing favorites:

 

Bohn

Scroggins

Ciminelli

Page 

 

That's right, all lefties...

 

On the right side, I'm also liking Duke and WRW these days...

 

There's enough guys on the tour who grip and rip (I guess Ciminelli is one but he uses urethane to go straighter).  I'd rather watch guys who throw the same or similar lines as me because honestly, I learn more watching guys that throw it like me.  Watching Belmo and TJ is nice but I can't really relate like I can to the other guys.

Wow, I have to agree with ya on the least favorites.  I love how Stayrook throws both arms in the air "stick 'em up!" style at release.

Favorite growing up was probably Tony Westlake.....believe it or not.
 
Worst: Devers, Joe Salvemini and any of the two-handers (just hard for me to watch for some reason)


Instead of "A Future For The Sport", it really should be "A Sport Without A Future"

Yeah, I like Mike Wolfe's style as well. I'm not sure you will find smoother bowlers on tour than him or Fagan.
