What pro would you pick for Strike shot and/or Corner (7 or 10) pin?

[NewToBowling]

Like Space Jam, let's say Aliens came down to earth and to save humanity us humans had to make a corner pin (7 or 10 depending on lefty/righty) and get 3 strikes in a row.

So who would you pick for corner pin and for 3 strikes? Assuming THS because I doubt Aliens know anything about sport patterns :)

1) Corner Pin = WRW or Scott Norton. WRW is king of spares. Scott Norton is an odd pick for me but I saw somewhere he was 100% on all spares and had been running good on corners.

2 3 Bagger = Belmonte (although he has slipped a bit) because he is king of pressure moments.

CORNER PIN - John Petraglia, Sr., or WRW

3 BAGGER - John Petraglia, Sr., or Parker Bohn III

[ChuckR]

Spares - Norm Duke
Strikes - Wes Mallot (now that he is healthy)

[fordman1]

Too many variables. Is it fresh oil or burned up?
Did they get practice or just walk in off the street?

Norm Duke or WRW would not be bad choices if it was a few years ago. Now the new people don't have enough of a resume. Tackett looks good so does the Brit. Pick up the ball and throw no fooling around.

[NewToBowling]

Fresh oil. No practice. They are aliens after all.

[fordman1]

Oh fresh oil then you have to go with lefties. Their shot is the same all the time anyway...

[Goose]

Spare would be Walter Ray
Strike I like Mallot also but will say PDW

[JasonNJ]

Spares would be WRW

Jesper Svensson for the strikes.

No Belmonte love?

[RobLV1]

Strikes... Belmonte.

Spares... Duke - his conversion percentage is actually higher than WRW.

[JasonNJ]

Is that overall spare conversion or single pin conversion? I remember Duke missing single pins a little more than WRW miss them.

[NewToBowling]

I would need someone who wouldn't buckle and with absolute certainty would hit that 10 pin, to me that's WRW. Duke isn't a bad pick though.

Duke keeps track of everything! He told me that his conversion percentage is higher than WRW, and I tend to believe what he says.

1) Corner Pin: WRW

2) 3 Bagger: Tommy Jones / Pete Weber

[fordman1]

A few years back you could answer both with one name Mark Roth. But that was when the bowler did the work not the ball.

He was one of the best ever. For a man who admittedly tried to rip the cover off of a ball, his accuracy was deadly.

[fordman1]

I knew we could agree on something!

[1VegasBowler]

This one wasn't difficult either! LOL

Mark Roth is my all time favorite bowler, and it was such a shame his career was shortened from a stroke.

I can watch old videos of him hundreds of times over.

No love for don carter?

[fordman1]

What percentage of bowlers would know who Don Carter was or would have ever seen him bowl. In those days strikes were harder to come by than today. He was great though and made a lot of money bowling.

He was also the first pro athlete from any sport to get a million dollar endorsement contract.

By the time I started paying attention to the PBA in the 70s Carter would mostly be shown in film clips from the 50s and early 60s, or as the owner of the center hosting the tournament.

[Blomer]

Walter Ray Williams and Duke for spares.
Probably Belomonte for Strikes.
