I know it's not legal to switch hands say to pick up the 10
pin because you have to use the hand with wich you established
the average for the entire league unless you have an injury,
but does anyone knwo if it would be leagle to bowl backwards
to pick up spares since you would be still using the same hand.

I was bowling the singles/doubles squad after the gentleman. It was an experience to say the least to watch him (in person no less). He really was very good at doing this. If anyone ever gets a chance to see it, I recommend watching. But please, don't try that at home.

I would be curious to see how the ball is drilled seeing as how it comes in from the same angle as a left handed bowler. Also would it be legal for him to switch to a normal forward bowling style which could be considered an advantage when trying to pickup for example the 6-7 split?

LOL I can only imagine walking backward and bowling.  I have enough trouble walking forward and bowling.

Amazing. ALthough I think his swing is a bit muscled.....

I have a hard enough time right now trying to get to the line and throw a decent shot. Cool stuff.
