Will Carmen Make it?
« on: January 27, 2005, 12:18:15 AM »
In case you don't remember, one of the all time greats, and defending champion, Carmen Salvino was granted the exemption.  

So where do you think he will place?  Even though I know it won't happen, it would be awesome if he made the show.

He will finish in the bottom 4. I know he was a great bowler and am sure he still throws it better than most of us on this forum, but he is bowling against the greatest bowlers in the world today.. I am afraid the technology of bowling today has more than likely passed him by..

There was a great article in a local paper recently (Dan, you may have seen it, it's in the Sun-Times, don't remember when it was) regarding Mr. Salvino, stating that he's been training for quite awhile for this tournament, and he's planning on competing with the big boys.  I think he will make the cut, but it'll be close.

He's been working out at Les Zykes' house (Beverly).  I would assume Les has been helping him.  I think he'll either make the cut or be within a few of 32.

Well, his first game was 170. Good for 63rd.

DOH!  He's still got 13 games left to make up some ground.

I'm not so sure that technology will have passed him by.  Remember, Carmen Salvino was/is one of the innovators in ball design.

2 games and he averaging 150's I don't see it happening fellows.

I should just quit bowling, oh wait I already tried that.
Now that I am back and my Saws are sharp again, I am ready to cut some wood.

No, he won't even be close.

Rags,  maybe back in the day of yellow dots and the black angle he was a big innovator, but not anymore with the equipment coming out today..

Carmen did lots of work for one of the ball companies fairly recently - I think it might have been columbia.
Ball technology has definitely NOT passed the man by.

However, with ball speed being a huge factor on today's tour, opportunity may have.

I also don't get it.  Lizzi has one of the best physical games out there.  He's been touring for a long time, it's not like he's nrevous.  How do you go from 240's one day to 'buck 80's the next?  I thought the tournament pattern would at least be simmilar to the PTQ.

Well he must have gotten back on track, cause he slipped into the bracket in 31st.
