Which pro will dominate next season.
« on: May 20, 2008, 06:35:09 AM »
Which pro will dominate this next season?  

Here's my 3 scenerios:

1. This just very well maybe the year Chris Barnes get's the monkey off his back and crushes everyone!

2.  This may be the season Duke stays healthy and wins 5 or more titles!  We have all seen what he can do as a part timer! lol

3.  WRW!  Not much to say because the guy will always be in the hunt to capture titles every week until he decides to retire!  The only thing I can really say is the other guys on tour better hope WRW doesn't learn to carry the ten pin a bit better otherwise he's going to win 5+ titles in 08'.

4.  I also think a new face will grab the top 5 this next season.  Maybe our very own Jeff Carter will tear it up.  You know he's itching to get out there after missing most of last season with an injury!

I think O wins one finally but dominate nah he is no scroggy, scroggy is better than most think he kind of sneaks in and usually wins a match or two before going out.

If you talking about left side domination it will be Rhino who will be in every tournament now and has no pressure from making TQR's anymore.

I've gotta go T. J. & Mallott. They're just too good to leave out of the top 5!

My vote is for Rhino Page and a healthy Jason Couch!

While it is hard to make a pick for the top, even though I can't really stand him Barnes has got to be in the mix. As well as Malott, I think the change to RotoGrip and a chance to be the "top dog" will prove out for him.

As far as Rhino goes, while I think he will have solid season and remaining near the top, im thinking top 10 or 15. While it is a longer road to bowl the TQR's, it is also 7 games of practice on that week's pattern on that week's surface. With his talent level and that small added knowledge, I think helped him have such a great year. Without that extra practice, will it make a difference, I think just a little. I think he might win once again, just not a totally dominating year like some here are predicting. But I have been wrong before.

I've got to think that Tommy Jones will get his swagger back. But looking at the recent USBC mag and you see WRW as the only bowler in the top 5 in average for all the patterns I think he could have a big year.

It really is hard to say who will dominate since we don't know who's coming out of the Tour Trials.

On a side note I want to see 900 Global on TV.

My choice right now would be the Big Nasty Wes Malott. Him throwing a cell or the Grand Illusion when it comes out could be a deadly 1, 2 punch.

Let me add saying I think a good sleeper could be EVD, Eddie Van Daniker. I compete with him in the East Region and this kid is only 22 but does have some unbelievable talent.

Ed Van Daniker is one hell of a bowler. He bowled a regional here in the SW region between tour stops in Vegas and El Paso. There were about 4 TQR guys that showed up to bowl. I crossed with Ed on Saturday, and while not really overpowering, he was smooth and consistent. He threw the same shot on ball 1 and the last ball of the day.

WRW
Mallot
Barnes

Scroggins would be my fourth choice.  After that, you can't count out Duke or Weber if they are healthy. They will win more than there share. The young guns will show up, but they will not dominate the likes of Williams, Mallot or the new Chris Barnes.

walter ray williams, jr., was the only player in the top 5 in average on each of the 5 basic patterns that the pba uses-----this includes pba player of the year chris barnes. i'd say walter ray is still the man.

I think TJ will get a few wins this season.  If he wins four times, which is very possible, it will be hard to top him.  Barnes and Walter Ray are so consistent and will still be in the hunt, though.

I can't say.  Jason Couch and Jeff Carter could come off of injured reserve and have huge seasons.  A healthy Norm would be dangerous to anyone.  WRW is tearing the tour up still.  My personal favorites Jason, Jeff, Rhino, Barnes, Scroggy, Big Wes, T.J., Mike Wolfe, Tony, and Bill O'Neill (I got alot of favorites I know I'm missing someone) all have chances to really bring down the house.  Also, look for PDW to go on a tear if he decides to adopt his bad boy image again, I'd rather that Pete than the new nicer Pete.  The only thing I'm definite on (I know this is shallow of me but I can't help it) is I want to see Diaper make like three shows and lose all of them in the semifinals.
