it looked to me like he was spraying the ball right of target at times. this is probably one of the reasons he's struggled at times when he's bowled pba national tournaments. his type of power game, like many others, doesn't always work on pba lane conditions. i hope his shoulder fully heals so he can try his luck again against the best the pba has to offer.
well when there are no dark boards at the end of the lane it makes your breakpoint hard to tell but It looked consistent to me overall. No one is a robot so people are going to not be accurate all the time.

when i asked my friend who he thought was the best of the amateurs who came to the pba tour since the mid 1990's he mentioned two(2) names: chris barnes and mika. he said these two players were by far the most versatile and adaptable players he'd seen. when i pressed him further about some other players he said the following: "these players are good---very good, however their game isn't versatile enough to win or be in the hunt consistently on the pba tour":
robert smith
patrick healey, jr.
paul fleming
tim mack
rudy kasimakis
chris sand
brett wolfe
i'm sure i've left off some names but you see the point i'm making. all the players mentioned here are good, there's no doubt about that. some like robert smith and patrick healey, jr., have won multiple pba titles, yet don't bowl well enough consistently from tournament to tournament, year to year. i was correct in my assesment of rudy kasimakis not winning a pba national title----he simply wasn't versatile enough and his spare shooting was a bit suspect. brett wolfe won the 2001 abc masters but when he bowled on the pba tour full time the next year he wasn't a factor. i'll be surprised if tim mack bowls on the pba tour full time. other than the usbc masters, the pba world championship, and the us open, he'll have to bowl the rabbit squads to qualify for a tournament. then he'd have to win a tournament to be exempt for the next season. we'll see, i don't think it will happen.

there are those who will say that winning on the pba tour doesn't make you a great player or that it's not the highest level of competition. in fact it's been THE standard of competition since 1959. chris barnes and patrick healey, jr.,( both great amateur players by the way )have both been quoted in bowling publications in saying that they knew they would have to join the pba someday-----that the pba has always had the best players and to be considered one of the best you have to beat the best.

i suppose then that since the pba uses easier patterns tim mack would dominate that tour, right ? only time will tell but the vast majority of power players that have bowled pba national tournaments have not fared well on a consistent basis. mark roth has 34 titles----he's one of the greatest of all time. jason couch is the only other power player i can think of that has more than 10 titles and he's lefthanded.
I'd put Amleto Monacelli with 19 on that list. Steve Hoskins at 10... but you said over 10... and Tommy Jones is at 9 and counting.

Look who has had success this year, Doug Kent, Tommy Jones, Wes Mallot, Norm Duke, Chris Barnes,and PDW to mention a few, none of these guys are one dimentional. In today's game you have to be able to change your game at the drop of a hat if you want to stay competative.
Ron Clifton showed us an old video clip at the clinic he gave last month, and in this video there were two old school full roller type players using old black rubber balls playing straight up the track and they never moved, or had to and the only time they didn't strike was when they over threw the ball and it jumped out of the track. Modern synthetic lanes don't have tracks worn in them and modern equipment wouldn't probably hold a line in one either.
In order to make the tour competative for all types of bowlers, they came up with these 5 patterns which are pretty fair for all of the players, some have an advantage over others on certain patterns, but by and large they seem to play as they were intended as we see some new faces each week and some familliar ones who have learned to adjust and play each of the patterns. The only way you get to this point is competing on these patterns that is why I hope the PBA Experience leagues are a big hit.

another shot for tim. He is a fantasic international bowler. from having to travel in planes constantly, players on tour get to drive from event to event.
I am willing to place alot of money on the fact that Mack has made more money than walter ray has. His international titles often pay as much or more than tour titles do.
in life success is measured by dollars not just by titles in this case. i'll go with the man with fatter pockets.
