What am I missing?

I'm not the one who made this personal.

My comment in post #18 simply pointed out that Tom Baker was in fact not a full roller.

Your reply in #19 made it personal.

Again, I don't attack your credibility, you do that fine on your own.

I think you both could use a set of drums, instead of beating up on each other, we are all getting SICK OF IT! Buy some FRICKEN DRUMS, and beat the hell out of them!


It's amazing how relaxing the body, and mind become after 30 minutes of the above!

Rob's not exactly wrong Tom Baker (A PBA & USBC Hall of Famer, not Dr. Who!) actually had two releases, The full roll and the spinner.

He originally had a powerful very high rolling release, but do to wrist injures (He broke his wrist in a fall about 30 years ago, when his losing streak started).

He had to change his release because his hand no longer would get into position to do his roll release. So he changed and went to a spinner release.

That 2004 video of Tom Baker is after he changed to the spinner release. You would have to look at the videos from the early 80's to see his old release.

1981, Not a full roller. Harder to see the ball roll due to the solid color ball, but his fingers come around the outside of the ball.

On a full roller the fingers come up the back, and a little left of the center of the ball, and the ball tracks between the fingers and thumb.

Pete Weber uses the full circumference of the ball, but doesn't track between the thumb and fingers, so he's a semi-roller.

My reply in #19 simply said, "Okay, Mike, whatever you say." That simply said that I don't think it's worth arguing about. If you see that as saying something personal, then you obviously are just looking for an excuse to start attacking me again. Please get over it. This forum provides a lot of useful information. I'm sure that there is plenty of room for both of us. We both have a lot to offer without taking potshots at one another.
