Default All Time fav........
Mark Roth.
I feel Walter Ray Williams Jr. is the best player of all time. To this day a player of the year candidate every year, and of course the all time title holder.
On tour now, to me Wes Malot has the nastiest game right now! He's fun to watch!

Earl Anthony was my idol.
A personal favorite was Ed Lubanski, an oldtimer from Detroit. he used to practice where I worked, the guy had huge fingers and only used two holes, thumb and one finger. i couldn't believe that a hall of fame pro bowler would use a two hole grip.

I do not think Jim understood the SHOCKER reference. But I personally got a good chuckle out of it. Nice Job Kev!

oh no, i got it.

not everyone is familiar with the two-hole grip. apparently it was popular with the old-timers.

If we are going old school here I have to stay with Carmen Salvino as the all time clutch guy.

Weber's dad was pretty much a bad ass as well.

In Boston Jim it was all candlepin bowling which is an incredible difficult way to bowl where 100 is good 120 great averages.

Bob Gamere and candlepins for cash was on forever during the week after Channel 5 Saturday show which was the #1 rated show of the weekends back in the day.

Mark ROth a legend no doubt but damn did he look awkward but sure as hell got the job done

Johnny Petraliga dont like that elbow bend but also a legend

Brian Voss--one of the more perfect bowlers style wise ever

Parker Bohn--sweetest armswing in the the business
