Fav: Duuuuuuuuuke, PB3, Belmo, C Barnes, Mike Wolf, TJ b4 injury, Bob L jr
 
 
Least: Shafer (but i think hes consistent as hell, just bowls bad on tv) Mcune (i have to give him ticket for speeding and boring) Chris Warren (bad example for kids whos learning to bowl, high swing and pulling it down... its just bad)


When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.
