Lefty vs Righty on recently finished WSOB
« on: December 27, 2015, 11:13:49 AM »
I hear that a more lefty's than normal made shows and cuts this go around
with Belmo, TJ, Ronnie Russel shut out
I'm sure there was plenty of whining if this is actually the case

A product of the environment references having the ability to adapt to the environment...there were other lefties that didn't bowl well...and you can't simply apply one player to a time or place and simply assume they will play well...no matter their perceived abilities...there are no guarantees or givens...still gotta throw the ball

Perfectly stated. Thank you.

A couple of lefties that have made the show wouldn't be in the top 5 of my Wednesday scratch league

This could be the most ignorant comment I've seen on this site in a long time, and that's saying something.

They should change the game.
Make every player use both hands.   :)
You start the tournament with your left arm, and switch over to the right arm halfway.
That could be fun to watch, and then it would be fair.
In the one game finale on tv you play the left line with your left and the right lane with your right arm  ;D

Ive been thinking that avabob has lost his mind, that comment confirmed it. Sad, because he usually brings good thoughts to the table.

You guys have no idea how good some of the so called amateur bowlers in the Spokane area are.

There's a lot of very good amateur bowlers all over the country but to say they're better than guys that make a show is asinine...it's easy to say sitting at home...
Ya I'm good for 3 games a week too

I watched Jacob Butruff strike for what seemed like 100 times in a row in the team event. That kid is going to win very soon. I don't see many people that can match that carry percentage when he's lined up.

Rico, seems to me that Bob is in a better position to make the call than you, unless you have actual knowledge about how well the bowlers he is referring to bowl.

Otherwise, you are just making a bunch of assumptions about how good the guys Bob is referring to bowl. There are some on this site that would call making such uninformed assumptions "asinine."

Butturff's composite averages last year were 235 for 387 games and 212 for 108 games sport.  He joined the PBA and made a show within 6 months.  Please send me the league sheet of the league he isn't in the top 5. 

Cane is a former Team USA'er, Moor is the leader in all-time EBT titles, so that leaves one, Bolleby.  There may be a few leagues with 5 guys better than him, but probably only if you bowl league in Wichita or Dallas.

Butturff not only made a TV show, he also helped lead his team to a top 3 finish in the PBA team event. On a team with Cain and Haugen, he was picked to be the anchor.

It's an odd shot to watch, but he sure knows how to use it.

I'm fairly aware of the bowlers on the west coast as well as the NW...and if there were that good of league bowlers, with the way the schedule is I'm sure at some point they'd shoe up...and not in league...
You guys think what you want but GIVE SOME RESPECT to the guys that SHOW UP and bowl...and it's a bit harder than bowling 3 games a week in league to make a show now matter the hand or the PERCEPTION of those on a social media site

In 1992 I bowled the Brunswick World Championships.  I just came off of winning the Amateur Championship and the FIQ Youth Masters so I was bowling well.  Crossed with Pete Weber and Eugene McCune.  I bowled pretty well that week and PDW beat me by 300 and Eugune by 200 in qualifying. Pete was able to play a part of the lane that no one else could. The fronts dead hooked and the backs were tight. So he just floated through that hook and soft hooked it around the hang.  It was impressive to watch and gave me an appreciation of just how tough it is to even make top 24.

What you see in league is nothing compared to what they see.  The dry hooks more and the wet less.
