He carried more 7-pins than anyone. Great champion. This was his 27th title, but just a few months ago, the PBA recognized his 2 ABC Master's titles, so his final total is 29. 2nd best Lefty ever in my book. (Earl Anthony being first)

I believe Mike like the late Earl Anthony utilized medium speed. In some instances that can be advantageous.

I just realized that this was Aulby's last PBA title. He's a great champion.

You won't learn much about how to bowl from watching Jason Couch. Personally, he's a friendly guy, but if you want to learn do so from the best, like Mike Aulby, and Earl Anthony. They both use a heavy roll and accuracy with lower speed rather than equipment bowlers with extreme revolutions at a general area in hopes of sloppy carry. Ear Anthony Teaches Bowling is here on Youtube. Check it out and you'll be amazed at the difference in perspective!

two lefties going at it, as an entry-level lefty who is starting to "get it" I picked up on a lot of new things to try. for one thing, watching Aulby and the way he holds the ball at the start is totally different than the way i start out, so i think tonight at league, i might experiment a bit in the practice frames. i can see my avg going up already! woohoo!
