It looks like he muscles the ball. And like he tops or spins it a little bit. It certainly isn't how most coaches teach it, but we have to give the guy credit. He can score doing it his way.

Don't forget the lack of knee bend and standing up at the line. Textbook, not by any means, but the guy is able to repeat shots, which all of us strive to do!

His track is 5" over. he doesn't spin it.

Hey site administrator !!!!!!
I want it made mandatory that the users age is posted with every post they

He's smooth now compared to his rookie season. Trust me lol
Yes indeed to say the least. I couldn't find it on the internet, but I have the 1988 US Open where Pete Weber goes up againt Shafer in the semi finals. Ryan used to rip the holes out of the ball like I've never seen plus how fast his ball was. It was close to Eugune McCune speed. I don't remember why he changed but somewhere I'm assuming in the early 90's he went from cranker to tweener. I couldn't imagine what that would be like to see him live back in the day. He also played the lanes using the dots. I'm not sure if he uses the arrows or area now. I do wonder if he could bowl like that now at 40. Put some accuracy behind it and would be a devastating ball.

Wow, it's amazing how disrespectful y'all are to some of the best bowlers on tour. Learn some fu<king manners.
You're a f***ing a5shole. Go waste your life somewhere else.
Thanks for breaking the rules and using profanity. You're being reported loser.
I'm a loser? You are the one insulting someone who is 100 times a better bowler than you will ever be because you don't think he is good looking....... And he could make more money somewhere else being a scarface replacement or a male medusa? Why don't you go bowl him and he will clean out your entire bankroll, however small that bankroll is. Your an idiot and an a55hole.

shafer was burned on his face as a young man hence the scars. pretty sad to rip on a guy that had to go through that.

His first show was the 1986 Brunswick Memorial World Open, and when I saw him on it, I couldn't believe the difference. A bunch of head movement and even more hit at the line than now.
And say what you want about his ball, he is not spinning it.

I dont know if now is better but patience is a virtue.
Thank to djrs could see the show. Great show, great bowlers but Ryan Shafers stile is not exactly what i like to see in a TV Final. I know, i know the name of the game is knocking down pins.
WATCH OUT SPOILER
Fagan was way more fun to watch especialy when he was forced to loft the gutter.
--------------------
yes and i like this one also
don't go for a strike, go for a sure spare, we need 5 pins to win
