Probably the one that fits that description the most for me would be steve cook. Unbelievable power and very smooth for a guy his size.
Effortless bowling
Which guys or women threw powerful balls with seemingly minimal effort? Two that come to mind are PDW and Holman. Maybe then we can find out the similiarities among them. I'm not referring to most revs or hook.

he sure did throw a powerful ball. I think his size helped him. Two others are Goebel and a young Steelsmith. No effort at all it seemed.
The player who comes to my mind is Wes Mallot.Originally Posted by Beagle
To my mind, Holman never made it look easy. Part of it was that look of intensity that he had in competition. The other part was I knew that that long slide resulted from a lot of leg drive.

I watched one of my favorite movies on TV yesterday, "The Legend of Bagger Vance." At one point Bagger says something like, "Find your true authentic swing, and get out of its way." I'm thinking that those bowlers who demonstrate seemingly minimal effort, are those who have figured out how to do this.
Yeah, I was gonna suggest Wes.
The Zen of bowling...
Not too far off base.
That's the perennial problem of mine that's occupying nearly all my attention right now: I've always had a claw grip on the ball and tried to muscle it through the swing.
Norm Duke is my favorite bowler but I think Parker Bohn III and Amleto Monacelli were effortless.
For woman I would say Tish Johnson and Leanne Barrette.
