Do you know what his ball speed is? If my math is right he was throwing the ball @18mph. And was he using a 14/15/16???

good style but i dont agree on ball choice, high rev but no enough speed, with such a strong ball, he wont be able to use it for too long til ball change

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.

I believe the "thumbhole" rule is that he would have to reasonably demonstrate that it is a gripping hole. I had massively offset thumb holes but i could still use my thumb to hold and grip all three holes. I'm not sure just being able to cover it with some part of your hand or palm makes it a thumb hole. Could be wrong, massive gray area and all....

The PBA  will not allow two handed bowlers to throw a practice ball during the TV timeout from this day forward. (LOL)

Just curious w/ the "thumbhole" and it having a weighthole, isn't it illegal since he's not using the thumb?  I've forgotten the rules on 2h bowling

If you have a thumb hole and weight hole, the thumb hole must be big enough to get your thumb down inside the hole.  With the new rules, the ball in the video is illegal.  If there was no weight hole, the thumb hole would be considered a weight hole and the center of grip for measuring static weights becomes the bridge between the fingers.  Hope I cleared that up considering I just went through all this recently in Reno.

I thought all balls had to have a thumb hole to be considered legal.
