lol. Can't say that I have seen that before. I was normally pretty consistent with my 2 handed backhand, but didn't go for many winners.

I have a tough time calling them athletes.
That term to me implies some sort of supreme physical condition. But it is definitely a sport. |

I once played a guy who never hit a backhand. He just put the racquet in his other hand & hit forehands from both sides.

Yep, it takes quite a bit of strength to put all of that weight on the middle two finger tips and the thumb, to keep the wrist properly curled under the ball so you can get a full roll after the ball breaks out of the oil/slide and hits the back end with enough power to generate good pin action. Bowling can also torque your lower back and hips if you put a lot behind what you through (it did for mine at one house where used to bowl that had super heavy oil with a shot that was on the far right side of the lane and you had to throw the ball across the middle to about the four board to get it to the pocket).

I really enjoyed the pro bowlers this year. The new format seemed to really bring out the competition ... oh, nevermind.

I quit league bowling two years ago, after my third injury and second to my wrist. (my shit is getting old) I had a 199 average, but not on the lane conditions and pressure the pros face. It would get my heart rate higher than 4 miles on a treadmill in an hour. Like some golfers, a lot of bowlers have a fat gut and man tits, but they possess a lot of power and strength as well as mental toughness to get the job done. |
