The 'Tiger Woods' of 10 Pin Bowling is Australian, and bowls with 2 hands
Jason Belmonte, from Orange NSW. I'd never heard of him until today.
The Man Who Broke Bowling
Jason Belmonte’s two-handed technique made him an outcast. Then it made him the greatest—and changed the sport forever.

As chance would have it his dad opened a bowling alley in Orange NSW when he was a kid, so he started as a toddler.


Here he is scoring 300 (max score) just last week. Watch what the spin does to the ball right at the end.

Belmonte’s rev rate, which topped 600 per minute when he first joined the tour (most players averaged somewhere around 350-400 at the time), was otherworldly.

He's a member of #sharkcrew
Belmonte realized he could feed off the criticism, like a shark circling a tour boat, devouring the freshly tossed chum.

I talked to him for about 55 seconds at a PBA event once, Absolute gentleman. Him and EJ Tacket throw about the same hook (or they were when I was watching)
The problem with the event I was at is that, It was qualifying, So there was literally 100 people bowling, And it’s slightly underwhelming. I imagine if it was the finals and tv broadcast that would be great.

I did see him before. 10 years ago now he was on a local current affairs show.
