Exactly! LOL! Now sit still when I'm on my approach! How hard is that to do?! Don't make me come over there....Originally Posted by Zothen
Then of course there's also Mr. "Take that ya bottle b****" Rash. He's fun to watch sometimes too.
Fagan is so weird looking when he bowls, but it's damned effective, I'll give him that. He's also a very nice guy who takes time to answer other bowler's questions on his website. I don't think I could ever adopt such a high backswing though, how the heck does he do that without dropping the ball on his head?!

I can push my ball up like that but whenever I see people push their ball way up high, like can mclelleland, it looks weird. Not a fan of people who muscle the ball after learning so much about having a free armswing.
His (fagan) does seem more fluid though.
Well he's still pretty young. If he's still reaching up almost vertical with his backswing when he's 50 then I'll be impressed. As for me, these 41 year old shoulders are doing well if I can get my arm parallel with the floor in my backswing. For me, that's really all the higher it needs to go anyway. Feels weird to me if I try to go higher than that, plus it throws my timing off.
Why not Fagan? Though his backswing is high, his physical game is among the best in bowling. His swing is the epitome of a free arm swing, and he creates 500+ revs using virtually no effort (he is THE bowler to watch in regards to keeping your wrist in a strong position before release). His timing and knee continuation are excellent.
More importantly, he performs well on all conditions and can play any line he needs to. Whats not to like? I'd kill to have his game.
Rhino Page. I don't know why but I just like him. Wes Malott. He is a nice guy and even showed a friend the proper way to tape his fingers and he showed me. WRWJr and Duke. Two of the all-time best that do what they can to promote the sport. Sean Rash. Why? His physical game is great and his mental game sucks. Always one bad throw from an implosion. Chris Barnes. Simply the most versatile.
Stephanie Nation and Shannon O'Keefe. They have both been helpful in the past, especially when I had question regarding techniques that may or may not work for coaching females. Shannon didn't just write an e-mail back, her and her husband attached videos showing exactly what they were trying to explain to ensure I had no confusion.

I don't like rash at all. In one of his interviews he said that he does everything he can to distract his opponents. He also shouldn't have got player of the year. He had most pins and earnings. But that's not what they emphasize on who is the greatest player for the hall of fame. They go by titles won, which Belmo had, also Belmo was more feared among the pros. I think Belmo didn't get player of the year because he is from Australia, and if Rash didn't get it this year he probably wouldn't get it for another 5. Rash is a great player, but he is to shady.
