Bet Belmo is practicing and fine tuning his backup ball skill as we speak.  Can't let this youngster best him as the "king of the lanes". Stay tuned!

Kudos to the kid.

He has a style and ability that few, if any, others could hope to do.

 I’m 58 now, and have only one issue with what transpired, and it’s NOT what he did.

 It’s that he had to do it.

 I mean c’mon, it’s 2018 man. With all the great technological breakthroughs we’ve had in bowling in the last couple of decades, why are we still struggling along with playing surfaces and conditioners that just won’t stand up under normal playing conditions?

 I guarantee you, throwing a backup ball is NOT his “A” game, and, even though he is evidently proficient at it, it is disappointing that he would have to go to it as his emergency backup plan. (No pun intended)

 He did it, he’s good at it, and he won with it. Congratulations to him all around.

 Just disappointed in the playing conditions he must’ve had to deal with to make him have to go to that shot style to compete.

 Oh well, guess I really am just an old fart anymore.

You know, after the 2017 us open, where people were lofting the gutter at the beginning of the squad, I'm surprised this hasn't become a.weapon in lots of games.
