That kids got game!
-
A lefty two-hander? The best of both worlds, not even fair.
-
I'm surprised that Low seems to be unknown. He's been something of a child prodigy for years, and last year became the youngest bowler ever to win a PBA regional at just 15.

I want to say he was in the marketing with norm duke with the original storm prodigy ball, No?
-
He's a great kid. Was on the same pair as my son in Rochester this summer. Gave him some tips for the short pattern. Parents are good people too. Extremely talented and hasn't let it go to his head.
-
I watched him throw some games with the coverage online of the Junior Gold back in 2014. Wesley is the real deal. Do not be surprised if he turns pro because he definitely has the ability to do it and have a very good career.

I bowled the California youth state tournaments and he was just starting to make a name for himself when he was 10/11.

Lefty AND two handed? There has to be a rule against that!
-
And he uses his thumb based upon the weight hole being used. Talented indeed.

Thanks for that Video,
I was really curious with that low Diff what that ball would look like.
Two notes of curiousity, what a unique PAP! Also, When he uses his thumb on a drilling like this, doesn't it really change the dual angle numbers and break point shape of the ball?

PS 900 Global is really creating a heck of a lineup!

Lucky,
Can I ask what do you mean by he has a unique PAP? Also not sure I understand when you ask about him using his thumb change the numbers? As far as I know Wesley uses his thumb all of the time.

Curt Dupree,
Personally I know nothing about him using his thumb or not. I still can't understand why anyone would bowl two handed and use their thumb.
My statement on using thumb is based on this statement from TKKSHOP:
And he uses his thumb based upon the weight hole being used. Talented indeed
.
As to Pap on the video it says L 4 5/8 X 2 UP. I have personally not seen a PAP 2 up.

Oh okay thanks Lucky. I appreciate it. I thought Wesley uses his thumb all the time but I could be wrong.
-
One possibility is maybe Wesley only puts the thumb in to the first knuckle. Not sure, but I know that it's something that Brian Valenta does as a two hander.
-
I was comparing to the likes of traditional 2 handers who were not using thumbs. With the new rules, they have to use a thumb to allow for more drilling options via a weight hole. At his age and size, he is impressive to say the least.
-
I go to many junior tournaments and as you might imagine, I see more than a few two handed bowlers. What separates Wes from most other kids is his consistency and more importantly, his versatility. He is not a one trick pony. He can play effectively on any part of the lane. Long, short, medium. This is why he is someone to watch. And again, I can not overemphasize how good of a kid he is. Very level headed.

TKKShop,
I have no idea after this somewhat vague discussion whether this fine two hander uses his thumb or not.
It sounds TKKSHop like you can clarify.
1. He uses his thumb all the time.
2. He sometimes uses his thumb
3. He never uses his thumb.
4. He sometimes uses his thumb if he wants an additional weighthole.
Any chance you could give us a 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Now I'll ask a question. Why would a two hander give up the extra revs he gets from no thumbing?
Regards,
Luckylefty

I know I'm late, but I can verify that he does use his thumb. Btw, I also happen to use my thumb (two hander) and it doesn't necessarily mean I have less revs on the ball. Perhaps I'm an exception because I still rev the crap out of the ball one handed :)
