    Default Who's your favorite pro bowler?

    It doesn't have to be who you personally like the most, it can be who's your favorite pro bowler at this or that. Like for me, Walter Ray is my hero. I must say that he wasn't my favorite until I discovered his home alley was within driving distance from my house. I've been in there numerous times, but never got to see him personally. I have talked to a few people about him though, like he's a real nice guy who carries around a bunch of pictures and a sharpie to sign for people. For me, my pro shop operator was kind enough to have walter sign my 16 pound ball that's sitting on my shelf at home. I was going to let a bowling ally display the ball, but my mom wouldn't have it. I payed for the ball, but my mom doesn't ask much of me, and when she asks something I just oblige. Walter doesn't have my favorite bowling style though. I'm not so sure who my favorite is, but I like certain things about each pro bowler. Like for Chris Barnes I like his mental game, and how he executes that game. I like the look of Tommy Jones physical game, I even tried to emulate his style when I first began bowling without success and later realized that I do better with a low back swing. Anyhow, for those not mentioned, there is just something about each bowler that interesting.

    Physical game, I think PDW and PBIII are tops but my favorites to root for are Rhino Page and Ryan Shafer (Ryan being someone I used to bowl with in Elmira Heights, NY).

    Mike Fagan because of how smooth he is...Sean Rash because he came from Alaska! And lastly, Osku Palermaa just because of his physical game... especially that one handed straight ball he does... lol!

    I like to watch Belmo because he's just a genuinely nice guy and I like to watch PDW because he's not, LOL...
