I hate watching Pete Weber, I know a lot of people like his flambouyant nature and all but I think he is just a prick.  He has great bowling ability and is one of the greatest talents of all time, but to watch him bowl bugs the s**t out of me.

I can understand that about Pete. Over the past couple of years, I have been getting tired of watching the king of the sport Walter Ray Williams Jr. All he does is complain about carry, even when he doesn't throw it very well. Annoying to watch sometimes.

Worst lefty: Scroggins - has a robot arm, horrible form, the ball basically does everything
Worst righty: McCune - horrible form, falls over after every throw, basically just launches the ball straight diagonally from the 1 board probably the worst bowler on tour today

If you had McCune's release with Scroggins aim you would have one hell of a bowler!

Good bowlers let the ball do the work, so what's your point?

Exactly.  The bowlers who try to create their own ball reaction are the ones who struggle with today's modern equipment.  That's why Amleto Monacelli struggled for many years after reactive resin got stronger and stronger.  It took him awhile to get used to the idea that you don't need to hit up on the ball a ton these days.  It's all about roll and letting the ball do its thing.

interesting how so many posters hate watching scroggs.
however the highest rated episode of PBA last season was when he ran the gauntlet at the Dick Weber.
I don't really have a least favourite bowler.  What I find hard to watch is when there is simply no shot out there and the bowlers shoot brutal scores like the feldman/bellinder match a few weeks ago

Why?  His form is close to perfect and he puts some crazy revs on the ball.  One of the most entertaining left handers of all time I think.
