Ryan Shafer until he releases the ball. The form is bizarre, but damn that ball hits!

Scroggs is hard to bear, he is an awesome bowler and proves it every year.

Watching Mike Mineman was hard watch also from a few years ago, he looks like alot of us old guys like myself stiff and up right.

So, my question is a tag along to mainzer's topic.  Why don't you like them?  Is it their technique/style or their antics on the lanes?  I think it's a two pronged issue here.  

I can honestly say anyone that has gotten to this level has to have game.  I really don't dislike any one of them....walk a mile in my shoes kind of thing.

Any bowler I don't like watching is merely about form. Take Shafer...even though I thought he "big timed" me at the Masters in 2004, he may have been having a horrible day and not willing to talk or he didn't hear me. Ther are a few others who's form is horrendous, but there are no style point.

I'm shocked that only one person said Eugene McCune.  He's the only one I really can't stand.  Other than that, haven't seen much worse than Ritchie Allen.  Maybe he throws it better when he isn't on tv, but he grabs the crap out of it at the bottom, almost full rolls it, his speed and revs are terribly mismatched . .

actually in the first part of this thread someone mentioned mike mineman, i bowled with him 10-15 years ago in league and he still operates bowling shop here, he had a beautiful aproach and was very good, so yeah age caught up with him and doesn't get no where near how he used to. i have to laugh bc everybody said the trabers likethey were reading my mind. and of course wrw with his goofy approach and if he misses looks like a lil kid with hand in pocket and looks like he kicking dirt walkn back. ritchie allen, y let the ball touch the lane just heav it in mid air to the pins. almost all the players that make it to tv evry 2 to 3 years and they look so seriious and take the game slower than what it should be. yeah i know they trying to make their 15 minutes of fame but just sucks the life out of watching the program. o and the next time shaefer gets on tv will be too soon. 1 more time got to hear him whine about he doesnt get respect and pederson makes excuses bc he is diabetic. if it was that bad for him he wouldnt be out there day in and day out so that shouldnt be an excuse.

I see you're NOT a diabetic, are you?  And he's never used it as an excuse, as far as I know.  Get off his back about that.  Maybe Peterson is pointing out that diabetics can do the same things that you do.  Geez.

have u heard pederson talk he throws it out there for when he starts to get bad breaks or bowling bad. if you read my point i said if diabetes really was a factor only shaeffer would know that and he wouldnt be out there day in and day out, so technically i am complimenting him on that and yes my dad has diabetes and takes shots before he eats so i know what it does.
 and its not just shaeffer, pederson seems to throw excuses out to bowlers when they arent bowling well all the time. just listen to how he talks through a program and then when and if the bowler gets hot he makes another excuse to dig himself out of his original excuse.

If you're saying Pederson does that for every bowler, then why are you specifically calling out Shafer for it?  That doesn't make any sense.

And for what it's worth, I remember an old telecast (maybe the 2001 Louisville show) where they mentioned how Ryan Shafer has to be extremely careful about when he eats, etc. or he has trouble making it through a block during tournaments.  So I guess the diabetes is a bit of a factor...

do you guys have freaking common sense?? if the diabetes was a factor with shaeffer he would know when to quit or pull out of a tournament. again and again and now again he wouldnt be doing this day in and day out you morons. i was saying shaeffer in beginning bc as this topic is named people you dont like watching so i used him , hence someone i dont like to watch. as for pederson he does this quite often with bowlers who are just bowling bad for the most part. sure sometimes he dont but for most part he does make random excuses. just because your a "pro" isnt an automatic freedom from saying hey im having a bad day of bowling. the bowlers themselves admit it and all im sayiong is why cant pederson just say it instead of making lousy excuses.

You're getting boring here.  Diabetics (as you should be aware with your dad) have good days and bad days like everybody else, and I'm pretty sure Shaffer knows how to prepare for a set.  He also threw in the ToC this year with basically the flu if I remember right.  Following your logic, that shouldn't be an excuse either...

and yeah its official bunch morons, if he would have withdrew from that or any tournament due to illness or diabetes then HE can decide that, im saying PEDERSON is making the excuse for him and making excuses for other bowlers just bc they are bowling bad. and do you withdraw from league nite when you arent feeling good, i usually make it when i dont feel good and if bowling was my main income i would be out there. i have bowld some my best series being sick bc i just bowl. i dont overthink or anything just bowl. so yes this getting boring bc your not getting my points just a certain word or 2. like i said these are regular people that can do something  better then i but yet arent gods so yes they can and do bowl bad games and its not just  transition or whatever. WE all have bad games in evry sport and evrybody.

I can understand that about Pete. Over the past couple of years, I have been getting tired of watching the king of the sport Walter Ray Williams Jr. All he does is complain about carry, even when he doesn't throw it very well. Annoying to watch sometimes.

Worst righty: McCune - horrible form, falls over after every throw, basically just launches the ball straight diagonally from the 1 board probably the worst bowler on tour today

If you had McCune's release with Scroggins aim you would have one hell of a bowler!

Worst lefty: Scroggins - has a robot arm, horrible form, the ball basically does everything...

Good bowlers let the ball do the work, so what's your point?

Exactly.  The bowlers who try to create their own ball reaction are the ones who struggle with today's modern equipment.  That's why Amleto Monacelli struggled for many years after reactive resin got stronger and stronger.  It took him awhile to get used to the idea that you don't need to hit up on the ball a ton these days.  It's all about roll and letting the ball do its thing.

Worst righty: McCune - horrible form, falls over after every throw, basically just launches the ball straight diagonally from the 1 board probably the worst bowler on tour today

interesting how so many posters hate watching scroggs.
however the highest rated episode of PBA last season was when he ran the gauntlet at the Dick Weber.
I don't really have a least favourite bowler.  What I find hard to watch is when there is simply no shot out there and the bowlers shoot brutal scores like the feldman/bellinder match a few weeks ago

Why?  His form is close to perfect and he puts some crazy revs on the ball.  One of the most entertaining left handers of all time I think.
