I just got back from watching Thursday evening block of 64, and all shifts on Friday, so I got a REALLY good look at Rhino's game. He is the real deal.... a lefty with POWER. He just destroyed that shot, as did almost all of the other lefties. I also bowled in the pro-am today(Saturday) and asked some of the pros passing thru our pair, including Tommy Jones and Wes Mallott, if they felt the shot was unfair to the righties. Some of the comments don't bear repeating, but did say that the right side was inconsistent and/or broke down much quicker, which makes sense since there ARE more righties than lefties. From what I observed the left-handers could stay on their lines with fairly minor adjustments, while I saw many of the right-handers start from an outside line standing right of center and by the 7th game playing DEEP inside lines. Thus, the resulting inconsistencies in carry and scoring. I did see a lot of first balls find the gutter from the ones that started outside.... Sean Rash in particular ditched at least one every game yesterday. But I tell you what, when all 64 were bowling, it was a SCARY thing to see that many good bowlers all at once, and I've been in the business a little while! GREAT fun, and very enlightening!! Recommended to all that get the chance.....
