i didn't see tim mack's name as one of the entrants in the 2006 pba tour trials. is his injured and surgically repaired shoulder that bad or is he realizing that the competition and lane conditions on the pba tour are a lot tougher than he originally thought ? does anyone know what's going on with him bowling wise ?

I talked to Timmy right before he went to Singapore. There is still pain in the shoulder, but it is improving. The problem is he is still between high 13's and low 14's in ball weight. He felt that in order to compete for an exemption he would need to be closer to full strength and up to 15 lb equipment. He said there was a slim chance he would be there, but he also didn't want to risk further injury just to go for a possible 1 year exemption

Thats not bad at all, Jason Belmonte has been the top amatuer in the world for the past 2 years.

Wait a minute...someone said he was throwing 13/14 pound equipment.  Is he using that in the tournament he's bowling right now?  If he is, and he's doing that well.....Wow.

I knew Mack was a beast, but using lightweight stuff?  Yowzas.

PS-  Kick some you know what this season, Jeff.
