I also gotta throw another name out there: Mike Lichstein. I'm not sure if he's a huge name nationwide (pardon my ignorance), but he's a huge name in the New England area. I know he made a doubles telecast with P.A. back in '92, and the guy is downright nasty. Real nice guy, too...

Here's the link to that doubles telecast:

Quick apology...

Mike Lichstein never won a singles title on the PBA Tour. His father Larry did (he's a Hall of Famer, no less), but Mike never did. I guess I got confused switching between the "ugliest form to win" and the "prettiest form to never win" threads. It's late, so give me a break.

But the point is still valid. Mike is still a tremendous talent (for those of you familiar with the NEBA tournament series, you all-too-well know what I mean), but if you happened to stroll into the bowling center and saw him practicing, you'd wonder if he realizes he looks completely ridiculous up there.

Huh?  Ozio is has an absolute text book form.   No way he is in the same league as guys like Devers and Traber.

Cant remember if he won or not but what about Brad Snell? Funky pose/follow through and ball looked like it rolled out off his hand. Otherwise, Devers get the nod for me as the fugliest.

Vespi was aweful and yes I believe he won---probably in Mechanicsburg once. Terrible.

Ok here is one Ill throw out there. Probably not the worst, but the guy stiff legged every shot just like Traber and pulled out of it bad-----

Butch Soper. I know he may have been likeable---but if you are going to say Traber, Soper is really not better---just not a jerk.

I know that I can't come close to beating this dude, but PA has an ugly approach. The release is okay. Everything else is, um...er....odd looking.
