[arhsmacdude]

[Dragon4eva]

@madman102792

lol

[95hammerkt95]

My family and I met him at the 2007 T of C. We were walking out of the casino, and my dad spotted him. He's one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.

[kboss2011]

you know it's weird cause i bowl right handed but i pick up the 10 a lot more than the when i shoot the 7 i usually hook too much or too little

[MrWweman2009]

im a lefty and i hate the 10 more than the 7 because I always overshoot or undershoot it

[LeftB3hind]

orly

[sniped101]

@MrWweman2009

I'm a lefty and I dont have any problems with the 10 pin or te 7 pin. the problem is that im too good at spares but suck at strikes. I'm always hitting a Brooklyn.

[madman102792]

@sniped101 its all about the spares man, strikes dont win you anything, spares do.

[sniped101]

@madman102792 pfff, if i could get all strikes then i'd win it all.

[derekli04]

19 career titles??? what happened to his 32 titles?

basically, duke's showing how to throw straight with a reactive (hooking) ball.

[eliteWarriorSpb]

this show is from like 1999

[derekli04]

oh, thanks. Still, good tip, not just for beginners.

[thizzney]

its so wierd,i met him at the QUBICA International.me and my mom won here at our local tournament,got a free trip to the National Bowling stadium,took first there then went to Baton Rogue Lousiana and bowled there for the QUBICA Finals.we got to meet him and Mike Mchugah and got them both to sign our QUIBCA shirts and our name poster.he isnt very tall,roughly about 5'7,realyl skinny same with mike,but hes a really nice person,and has theres amazing blue eyes.

[stillrob420]

norm duke is big!! hes like the big show!

[apathy25tx]

I've always had a problem with the 10 pin. I throw with two fingers and I had the Lane 1 Diamond. It worked okay, but I went back to the fundamentals and threw it with three with a Silver Bullet and now I can honestly say I'd hit it 9 out of 10 tries.

[BJ1047]

I'd be bowling LOTS of 200 games if I could only pick up the evil 10 pin...

[TraumaER]

I'd be bowling lots of 220 games hehe. I already average 210 :D.

[heatblaster0]

I will try it this weekend and let you know !!

[Vulture629]

I usually just loft my spare ball out to the third arrow at 10 pins...or I flatten my hand out like Duke does.

[ClintLickler]

I switched to a plastic ball 4 months ago for spares...it took me that long to get it right, now im making at least 95% spares...c.h.

[kypersonality]

At least the 7 pin u can curve it. With the 10pin, if you curve it, it will spin into the gutter or curve just left of the pin. Straight is best... Now I just need to follow my own advice......

[hhhfan75]

ive picked up the 10 pin with a curve you have to know how much curve and to put on it and where exactly to throw it

[oThe1AndOnlYo]

i find the 7 pin is harder to pick up, and im a righty...

[ziggitydog]

I am the same way. I am righty and my percentage of making the 10 pin is higher than the 7 pin. There is still more room for improvement on bot pins for me.

[ziggitydog]

Isn't there a certain board that a bowler should stand on and a board a bowler should roll the ball over on the alley.

I don't understand the 1 o'clock and 7 o'clock

concept. Should your thumb be at the one o'clock position and your fingers at the fingers at the 7 o'clock position. I personally stand left and when I release the ball my thumb comes out of the ball first and then the fingers come out and the ball goes end over end at the 10 pin.

[AES90210]

Im sure you know better then a bowling living legend

[etsschu]

I bowled a 139 today!!! Guess why it wasn't 140!. Cuz I couldn't hit the 10 pin!

[PatJK910]

I learned how to do that, when I played bowling I wanted to made that ten pin, but then I finally made that ten pin when I was on my youth league and it felt great.

[wiibowl]

did i say i was?

[wiibowl]

or you could do what i do and grab an alley ball lol

[Curtie555]

thats why your not norm duke.
