    Default Whos your favorite bowler past or present

    I have a couple first off being dick weber because he was the first bowler i began watching and i like his smooth style. Once i began to learn my style better i started watching more pete weber for his arm swing and axis tilt, chris barnes for his set up and cupped wrist staying behind the ball in the swing. With that being said id say my style is more closely related to sean rash than anything.

    How about you?

    Still haven't decided. Gun to my head, Walter Ray Williams. Maybe Earl Anthony as a 2nd. Maybe Carmen Salvino? If I had to go with a newer bowler...maybe, maybe Scott Norton? But I have a feeling given my attitude, age, preferences, turn-offs, and old school approach...I'm gonna end up with a PBA50 favorite more so than the young pups.

    Definitely not Belmonte or Rash...too immature. And even though I like Norm Duke and Pete Weber's technique...I don't like the arrogance.

    My all time favorite would be Dick Weber. A great ambassador for bowling, a true gentleman and a great friend. Of the modern era players PDW and Chris Barnes
    Still love the game but had to quit because of my left leg amptation

    Hmm I'd probably say I'm more on the Hall of famer side, I guess. Guys like WRW, PDW, Parker, Norm. Veterans like Chris Barnes, Mika, Wes, TJ. Younger guys, I'd say Ryan Ciminelli, Sean Rash, Belmo, etc. I like watching all the pros. I just enjoy watching bowling itself(:

    Growing up I was a fan of Earl Anthony. Of today's current players I'm partial to the older guys (PDW, Duke, WRWJr and Bohn). I also like Doug Kent, Ronnie Russell and Chris Loschetter since my son bowled with them at the Masters pro-am in Feb.
