Jack Jurek Throwing a KE
« on: March 09, 2008, 10:32:51 AM »
Heard from one of my guys at the Show today that Jack Jurek was throwing a Kinetic Energy and looked to have the nuts but he thinks the Storm Rep. (Chris Schlemmer) Talked him out of it. He Thinks it cost him the title. But in the End it's Jack's decision so I feel bad for Jack. Congrats to Rhino who's had a phenomenal rookie year.

However on the positive side it shows that guys on tour are using the New TRACK stuff and obviously having success with it.

Dude,

Jack wasn't talked into anything...he threw both Storm and Mo all week.  If you read the context of the OP, it was "thinks he was talked into it".  I was there and talked to both after the show.  He (Jack) used Schlem as a resource.  Jimmy Tomek (Mo's ball rep) made himself available to Jack as well.  It was all Jack's decision, influenced as well by what Mike Edwards was doing breaking down the lane  outside of where Jack wanted to play...Mo's stuff looked great in warmup, but they were opening up spots to throw to...

Bill, you were there so you would know what went on.  Plus even though a ball rep may have pushed for the bowler to use a specific ball or layout, the final decision is up to the bowler!

You do have to admit that some of the ball reps on tour try and push the bowlers to use a particular layout and or ball.  Ryan Shafer has said in BTM that one of his best attributes is to NOT let ball reps talk him into a layout that he knows doesn't work for him.

Also do we know if he was offered an incentive to throw a certain ball?
