I think Pete is suffering from the same disease that gets all bowlers eventually. AGE.. The big crankers and high back swingers have to tame everything down because the body simply can't respomd anymore. Flexibility is lost, pain racks joints and areas that it didnt before and we all creak and leak oil. I can say personally although I am no pro bowler nor to I ever expect to be but I have had to change my own game over the years. I had a lot more pace on the ball when I was 25 than I do now at 45. My wrist, fingers and elbow hurt a little more now than they did 20 years ago and I have learned that naproxen is the greatest thing for a mid-40's bowler with minor arthritis. As far as fire in the belly, we all mellow like wine with age and I think that's what's going on with Pete.
