[mm7759]

Norm Duke!! Recently got a chance to meet him where he did several local clinics. He is a class act. Great ambassador for the game.

[Gryndryno]

of the guys I have met.....

Chris Barnes is a guy you could hang out with, shoot some hoops and grill some steaks with the easiest, very laid back.

Wes Malott

Mike Scroggins

watching Tommy Jones play with Chris Barnes' twins changed my attitude about him, he is much cooler and friendly than he comes across on tv.

Ryan Shafer bowling with an insulin pump on his belt makes me a fan of his, just because of how much being a diabetic would be a drain on him physically, and yet he competes as hard as anyone, I never met him though.

but my all-time favorite character is Dino Castilllo hands down.....he is very light hearted and yet a fierce competitor,

I pull for all of the Hammer guys of course, but have never met any of them.

[BubbaRay]

I wanna hear too.. You must have some decent pointers too, eh?

[dw800seeker]

My favorite bowlers to watch are:

1. Any of the pros currently throwing a Hammer ball.

2. Pete Weber

3. Mark Roth

4. Norm Duke

Fictional:

1. Bill Murray character in King Pin

Dream Team Bowlers:

1. Will Farrell playing Walter Ray Williams and Dana Carvey playing Pete Weber in some to be made movie spoofing the League of Ordinary Gentlemen. Other comedians could play some of the other bowlers, and perhaps Chevy Chase could play an aging Johnny Petraglia:D The movie could be set some time in the late 80s to early 90s when haircuts, music and clothing could be really entertaining.

[Cashbowl Matt1103]

Walter Ray Williams Jr.
Chris Barnes
Tony Reyes
Norm Duke
Robert Smith
Patrick Allen

That's about it..

[blistershurt]

bah at all of you who said chris barnes, he looks like an action figure to me (plastic)

[Cashbowl Matt1103]

He does look like a major geek. I can't tell if he is a stroker or tweener though. He's bowls with a really cranked wrist.

[idlehourlegend]

Im more of an old schooler.

Earl anthony#1 by far in my books.

mark roth

Mike aulby

parker bohn
Jason couch
Pete weber and dick weber
and robert smith

[blistershurt]

Pete Weber is #1 on my list really, he's from the same area as me...he used to live where I do now, Dick Weber had lanes here and Pete used to live here before he went on the Tour (then he moved from Florissant to St. Anne)

[xGatez]

Billy Oatman
Chris Barnes

I would like to someday look as good mechanically as chris barnes.

[blistershurt]

You'll get there...I'm starting to get my form down pat and my scores are showing, yours will too :D

[rattyhammer]

Have a few, no particular order :
Marshall Holman
Earl Anthony
Walter Ray Williams
Parker Bohn III
Brian Voss

Haven't paid enough attention to the newer Bowlers to know who's who anymore.

[Street Racer]

Walter Ray Williams Jr.
Chris Barnes
Tony Reyes
Norm Duke
Robert Smith
Patrick Allen

That's about it..

nice way to bring back a 5 month old subject.....

[blistershurt]

You can have jim carrey play the part of norm duke and adam sandler either mike machuga or danny wiseman.

[Sin City Hammer]

Mark Roth *was also the first bowling book I ever read.
Earl Anthony
Doug Kent
Pete Weber *after beating his drinking problem
Walter Ray Williams Jr. *I became a better spare shooter from watching him.
Norm Duke
Tony Reyes
Big Wes Malott

[BubbaRay]

My favorite women bowers all time are,,,,,,,,, Patty Costello and Lisa Wagner.

[Rowdy]

Sorry guys,but I'm mostly gonna go with the bowlers from the 50's,60's,70's and 80's. When it was more on the bowler,not the ball.
Earl Anthony will always be the King. Apologies to Walter Ray,but Earl won all his tournaments in HALF the time it took Walter Ray.
Dick Weber is a close second. The man was pure class. Smoothest roll there ever will be.
Marshall Hollman for the fire he brought to the lanes. You went to a bowling tournament and a boxing match broke out between Marshall and the pins.Marshall usually won. Only pro who could scream a pin down.
Okay,Walter Ray! Come on down! World Champ in horseshoes and bowling! Deadeye gets the nod here.
Chris Barnes for the game between the ears as well as on the lane. I'd like to have your style,but I'll settle for your bank account!
And last but certainly NEVER last,(are you ready for THIS?) GUPPY TROUP!! Didn't win all that much,but man oh man,what clothes this guy wore! You were always looking for the "off" switch on them!! Guppy won a regional the other month and cashed for $1600!!! Way to go,Guppy!

[Rowdy]

Women bowlers,Liz Johnson back when she bowled in a miniskirt!! Thanks for the kiss in Florida,Liz!
Carolyn Dorin before she added Ballard to her name. One tough cookie to roll against. Tougher than most men!!
Diandra Asbaty,if she goes pro some guys are gonna go hungry!! Hey Brian,put a Hammer in that girls bag!!!

[Da Hamma]

1. Dick Weber
2. Amleto Monticelli/Parker Bohn
3. Doug Kent

cool:

[5chmitty]

Billy Oatman
Chris Barnes

I would like to someday look as good mechanically as chris barnes.

Norm Duke
Chris Barnes-Class act right there, also my brother and good buddy of mine say that I look like Barnes when I bowl, so its funny you say that xGatez. I'll have to try and get some video up so you guys can see if you agree

[Stampy79]

Well let me see. There isnt anyone on earth that I enjoy watching bowl good than Myself, so I would have to say my fav bowler is me ! LOL

Earl Anthony
Mark Roth
Webber (Dick,Pete, John and Rich and even Juanita when she gets on)
Tommy ( I havent even reved it up yet) Jones
Steve Ford (Regional Player and my Boss)
Chad Kloss (Tommy Jones the 2nd)
