Didn't realize that winning and succeeding in bowling involved a beauty contest.

It doesn't and never has - obviously. This is just entertainment.

Scott Devers...I didn't bowl back then but watched.

And Rick Lawrence...not pretty but effective also!

REgards,

Scott Devers is definitely on the list, but I remember Brian Kretzer when he had the 12-13 step approach.  I know he's hasn't won, but that was painful to watch.

Only one answer to this question...Wrongfoot Lou Campi. He won the 1st PBA Title.

Vespi was pretty terrible. He also had a terrible attitude.

All time Devers and Rick lawrence, recently Mineman nice guy but it is hard to believe he made it exempt status.

Stormfrenzy,
             Wayne Webb had one of the greatest releases ever. His form was far from ugly.

Agree very much with Ron Williams and Scott Devers as styles that are not to be imitated (but it certainly worked for them).

I believe that the greatest bowler with the worst form of all time (and many people think he may be the best of all time) is Don Carter.

Here's a clip of him:

Devers had an awesome ball roll.  Pins only react to the angle and velocity the ball is coming in at.  Devers found a way to reach optimum velocity for his low revrate that turned into awesome carry.
