What does the BEST of the BEST PRO Bowlers Lose First!!

[got_a_300]

Pete Webber lost his personality many years ago

LOL!!!! I think PDW was born without a personality to start with.

I think the main thing that goes first with older Pro's and older regular bowlers in
general is the knees I know WRW and several other Pro's are now wearing knee
braces because of all the stress on their knee joints. I have to wear a knee brace
myself when I go to bowl because of the Osteoarthritis in both of my knees.

You can't really say age as an immediate factor, because it all depends on different categories, wether the person has good motor skills, still able to lift weights, is in good enough shape to pick up a bowling ball and throw it.
So as long as you feel as strong as a horse, you shouldn't care, like they say age is just a number

Age is the immediate factor of ALL sports. It's the basic cause of deteriorating motor skills, joints, arthritis, etc. As for age just being a number, to a point. I feel the same at 43 as I did at 23. Problem is by 23 I had already subjected my body to enough brutality to have been diagnosed with degenerative arthritis, PTSD and nine right knee and one left knee surgeries. After the last knee surgery I was told I would need a knee replacement but should put it off as long as possible. At that time they only lasted 20 years on average and you could only get one in a lifetime. I've heard that's changed but I haven't been back.

Pete Weber. He has a personality. It's all about him. Seemingly born at the wrong time, to me, because he could be the poster boy for the me, me, me generation. Definitely has little man syndrome and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a few of his peers have hit him. Then there are times I wonder how much of it is just a show for TV.

I remember Carman Salvino saying that his family and the Webers were staying at the same motel. Pete was about 7 years old. One morning the kid walked into their room, changed the channel on the TV, flopped down on the bed and said "get me a bowl of cereal". I guess the me me me thing started young.

Sounds like nothing has changed in the last 42 years.
Before someone tried to correct me, he is currently 49, happened when he was 7. That makes 42 lol

Better living through chemistry didn't help matters any.

What surprises me most about PDW is that his dad was the total opposite class act of a bowler

I think a lot of what we see with PDW is a result of him dealing with being Dick Weber's son and establishing a unique identity.

So true as that is such a humongous shadow to try and live in, never mind attempt the same profession as.
