Bowling Tragic
After studying the frame by frame scoring in this week's Australian Open, I saw far too many 9 - frames.
I thought it appropriate to show everyone just how good a spare shooter you have to be if you want to be as good as the bowlers on the PBA Tour. Listed below are the top 24 PBA spare shooters based on their match play competition.
Match Play Single Pin Conversion Pct.
(Rank, Name, Conversions, Attempts, Pct.)
1. Walter Ray Williams Jr., 336-337, 99.70
2. Tommy Delutz Jr., 276-279, 98.93
3. Ryan Shafer, 281-285, 98.60
4. Patrick Allen, 309-314, 98.41
5. Rick Steelsmith, 244-248, 98.39
6. Lonnie Waliczek, 281-286, 98.25

And YES, you read it right..Walter Ray missed just one single pin spare this season.
That's a goal for you all to strive to achieve.
