I'm willing to bet Duke is going to really be tough to beat. If he didn't get injured last season, he would of probably won a few more titles than he did.
I'm also curious to see how Robert Smith does. I wonder if his hip will hold up. I also read somewhere that he's cut down on his revs a bit to gain more accuracy.

I hope Jeff has a fantastic year and I could see him do really well now that he is no longer a rookie to the whole tv thing and the way the tour is run.
Though I would put money on it that Tommy Jones dominates this coming season, I see him as the one to beat.

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment
When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

Wes Malott will take POY and win 2-3 titles, including a major.
Tony Reyes will win 2 titles, including a major.
Billy Oatman gets his first title.

), but I personally look at ball reaction over the course of making multiple TV finals. Our own Jeff Carter had wonderful reaction all year. Some of his opponents' reactions got a little squirty at certain times, but Jeff was torching the pocket on his telecasts. Plus, he looked quite comfy out there. His modesty would not allow him to say so, but he really did look like the cameras really didn't affect him at all.
Tony Reyes had wonderful reaction all year. From the 300 to the year-end major showings, he had great looks all year.
Norm Duke.....who knows? That toe injury kept us from a really compelling POY debate.
Doug Kent....hard to count out the reigning POY. How solid is his game? Sheesh!!!!!
Sean Rash and Big Wes will probably make 40-50% of the TV finals this year. Don't forget, these guys are young and have PLENTY of time to get even better.
All in all, I am looking forward to this season and for wonderful things from the above players.

I think Tony Reyes may make many shows this upcoming year, capturing multiple title and his first major.
I also think that Park Bohn III, Patrick Allen, Jason Couch and Tommy Jones can make a run at POY
I can't count Duke or Walter Ray Williams out of the fold.
Next tour season should be good.

Sean Rash will make more shows.. I think hes going to lose one this year though.. not saying hes not going to win at all.. but his streak will come to an end.
Parker is gonna be POY

How about it! This guy's balance at the line is flawless! I can't for the life of me figure out why this guy has not won more titles in his career. He can swing the lane or play the gutter. He's great at doing both. I'm curious how he's going to do with the BWP in his hands.

Tommy Jones
Wes Malott
Sean Rash
Patrick Allen
Kent (at his age he is impressive as heck but age will set in)
Ones to see from time to time:
PDW
Reyes
WRW
Barnes
Mika
Duke
with the exception of Reyes all are getting ack hum "up there"
i can say that as i am as well....
People I would love to see win as they seem to be good guys:
Carter
Ciccone
I normally am a Duke fan but I always root for anyone who hasn't won before I love to see the look in their eyes especially when it is likely they won't win again.

Well, I think Big Wes Malott will be dominate. I think since he is back as a Columbia staffer he will win 2 or 3 titles. Also, I think Duke will have another great year. I think Norm will be back in the hunt for player of the year. Also, I think Patrick Allen will do great with the newer Ebonite equipment coming into play. And of course the man himself, Jeff Carter. I'm rooting for him like the rest of you are!!

I believe Jeff Carter will win a title next year. The changes he was working on last year really helped in the second half of the year.
Post by: calrajada on June 19, 2007, 01:16:22 PM
Of the 20 scheduled stops, not counting Dydo Japan Cup,
2 titles will come from 1st time winners, 8 titles from
the older bowlers (35 yrs old and over) and 10 titles will be
from the young guns 34 yrs old and younger... I just think
the young guns to be more dominant this season.
My 69 cents...what's yours ? Don't over quote me...

I think Duke, Kent, TJ and Reyes will all be very strong this year.
I also expect to see Chad Kloss make a show or two, he fought his way all the way through a few TQRs and nearly into the championship a couple times last year, I expect a good showing from him now that he got his exemption.

Mr. Lebowski, this is Bill Salnicker with the Southern Cal Bowling League, and I just got a, an informal report, that a member of your team, uh, Walter Sobchak, drew a firearm during league play. If this is true of course, it contravenes a number of the league's by-laws, and article 27 of the league...

Second let me address a few things in this thread. I think that Sean ( my illegitimate roommate !!! ) will continue to progress. Some people dont like his attitude, and i agree that it holds him back sometimes, but i do think he will only continue to get better
I personally think that Chris Barnes is ready to totally break out. I think Chris will admit that he is the main thing standing in his own way, but i really think that greatness is just around the corner ( i personally think hes already there, just doesnt know it )
The other person i think is in for a career year is Mike Wolfe. I watch Mike week in and week out and i think its only a matter of time before he heads to the top
Others that i think will be in for big years are :
Mike Devaney
Michael Fagan
Steve Jaros ( he's a free-agent right now and his ball reaction is looking good )
