For entertainment... Um... I'm watching women's bowling (Shannon O'Keefe, hey gurrrl).
For technique? Chris Barnes all day buddy.
It's interesting that many of the players that you are choosing are traditional players. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, much of the traditional style is actually adverse to what is necessary to modern bowling. Timing, posture, release, and release timing have all changed considerably to accommodate modern equipment and synthetic lane surfaces. If you are a traditional-style bowler who is looking to modernize your game, there are no better examples among today's pros than Chris Barnes and Sean Rash. Both started with traditional games, Barnes with a lift and turn style and Rash with a turn and lift style, and have adapted very successfully to modern conditions. If you are just starting out, however, you would be much better off watching some of the young power players who grew up in the modern environment: EJ Tackett, Dick Allen, for example, or some of the foreign players like Stu Williams and Dom Barrett.

I said Chris Barnes!! Yeah Me!! I also said Sean Rash...I just think Rash is harder to emulate than Barnes. Kinda like a Fagan or a Tackett...Rash has a nearly perfect stroke...but it's hard to emulate that kind of power.Originally Posted by RobLV1
Again...I SAID Chris Barnes already! Wait...did dhoff just AGREE with me??? OoOOoooooo!!!
I like the ladies too. For more than just the obvious reasons. They just have very technically sound approaches and for a traditional bowler...it's hard to find newer players that are still bowling that way. Their balls don't "hook the lane" or have some angular crazy snap at the end...but it's more like what I'm gonna see when I throw the ball. Like it or not...a lot of us throw the ball like girls!!
But yes...when it comes to "obvious reasons"...Diana Z...heads and tails...smoking hot! Damn you Dave Wodka! Also like Shannon O'Keefe...Ashly Galante...Danielle McEwan...Missy Parkin...all easy on the eyes!! Ahhh...to be 25 again! Or massively wealthy...

Smokey this is not 'Nam', this is bowling. There are rules. Proud two-time winner of a bowlingboards.com weekly ball give-away!
Anybody watch today's PBA viper championship where mika just win?
Oh yeah. Ronnie Russell's another bowler to watch too. Especially in the WSOB
Just ignore the height of the back swing and the wrist action at the top. Fun to watch and very effective but i'm not sure anyone would teach it.
Yeah, that was a really interesting show with the different approaches to lane play and equipment. Glad Mika won and felt bad for Dom.
Feel bad for Dom Barret throwing a 121 . He went with the urethane Pitch Black and couldn't stop going through the nose. Then he moved inside and kept going light. Tough day. Tough conditions. Congrats Mika!
Yeah that was tough to see. It was 126 actually. Still something you don't see very much out of any pro
Yeah I agree. Having that high of a back swing can be risky. Could easily pull something. Dislocate the shoulder, etc.
