      I wouldn't say that - the only difference is the way the wrist flicks and what fingers do the lifting. I've back-up bowled my entire life, my wrist just refuses to turn the 'right' way. Just means I look like a lefty until you watch my hand.

    I was a backup bowler before it was cool. Not sure if that guy had his ball custom drilled or if he just uses a lefty ball, but I had mine drilled custom just for backup bowling. For a long time before that, I had just used a lefty handed ball and thrown right, then I finally paid to have a ball custom fit and drilled for me and my game improved. Backup bowlers used to be pretty rare, but I hear its more common now. I have yet to ever meet another backup bowler though.

    I have been bowling in league since 1979 and I used to have a rule - there is always one guy who is a backup bowler. But it has been a decade since I have seen one that is any good. I think they disappeared with the advent of two handed bowlers. This amateur definitely has a lot of power for a backup bowler. It is a strategic failure to shoot for the 10 pin with the 4-10 split.

    • @Ironfangzu
      @Ironfangzu Год назад +2

      Yeah, IDD. The 4 is as easy as the 10 to pick up if you are just going for one pin. Bu why not give yourself a chance at making the spare? The 4-10 is by no means easy, but for a lefty, or a guy bowling a backup ball like Gee, it's actually not super hard to make. I mean, if you leave a 2-8-10 as a righty, you basically have no shot at covering the split. But lefties have a decent shot at it, as does anyone throwing a big hooking back-up ball. I've seen Anthony Simonson go to his backup ball to make the 2-8-10 split. Gee is nowhere as good as Simo, but I don't understand why he shot at the 10 and didn't give himself any shot at covering that 4-10 split.

    This guy looks really good, and he started with a scary double. But he ended up with a 165 game. I think the pressure of going up against DTang made him tighten up to throw way too many bad balls. By himself, with no pressure? I bet he throws 230 games easy. Haha
