Thoughts On Todays US Open (Spoilers)
« on: March 30, 2008, 06:42:24 AM »
First let me start off by sayin that i was pulling for Doug Kent to win the event, im a huge fan of his.

With that being said, Congrats to Norm Duke. He put on some performance today, proving that he truly is one of the greatest bowlers to ever hit the lanes. He was consistent, accurate, and he was fun to watch. As you can tell im a Duke supporter, and i just felt like saying some words about him on here.

This guy is one of the best guys to idolize out on the PBA tour. His game is simple and to the point. He is accurate as all hell. He doesnt try to play the lanes, he lets the lanes dictate him. He is exciting to watch. He is a nice guy, nice to his fans and the audience. He shows the perfect amount of emotion when he wins, making it fun to see him win. I feel that Duke just helps bring this sport to the next level. With todays performance im dubbing Duke, IMO, the greatest bowler ever. I know that WRW has way more titles, so does a bunch of other greats, but i feel like Duke is more the type of person you would want your children to grow up watching, idolizing, and copying out on the lanes.

Again, Congrats on the win today Norm, and being the fifth person to ever capture the PBA's Tripple Crown. You truly are one of the greatest bowlers.

I saw the switch from the gravity to the shift. Was Duke throwing a paradign at the end??

He looked like he was using a Shift today. And Mika was throwing an Avalanche.

I was just watching the replay and I am pretty sure Duke was still throwing a Shift at the end.

No, I don't think so.  But I thought he did use a Gravity for some of his spares & that could've been what you saw him throw for his fill ball at the end.  I could be wrong, so I'll wait for the Schlemer report & get back to you.

I just wondered. It looked like at one point he was throwing a paradign. I am going to watch it again, and see if I can key in on the game. I know when I saw it, I said to my boys that it was strange that it looked like Duke had change to the ball.
