Lavoie is one of the most underrated bowlers on the tour, IMO. Not only can he strike consistently, but he may be the best spare shooter in the PBA right now. He showed me the easiest way to pick up a washout and it's worked every time.
If Hupe would stay in the shot and stop popping up at the end of every swing I might agree that he has the smoothest current swing, but if you watch BJ Moore bowl, it's like buttah, oil, silk and black ice all wrapped into a sweet jelly roll. I have no doubt he will make the next list.
You have to include Bo Burton, one of the smoothest deliveries the game has ever seen. His performance in the 1984 Angle Open was epic and record setting. And don't forget the great Full Roller and stylist, Ned Day known for his smooth and artistic delivery.
hey i met franky (lavoie) at the wsu bowling camp a few years back and he was so kind! definitely the smoothest form ive ever seen in person. very talented bowler! he knows so much about the game.
@krump Blanchard is a good call. As for Wilkins No offense, but I don't see any two handers as super smooth or particularly graceful. Full on power, but I don't think they use gravity as much as single-handed bowlers, which I feel you need to look super smooth, just my opinion.
Back in the late 1950's and early 1960's, Joe Joseph was described as "the smoothest bowler to ever roll a ball". I still marvel at how easy he made it look - and with a 16 pound ball, no less. Old school bowling at its finest.
I went to a Brunswick camp about 10 years ago taught by so many of their top staff. The joke was made that "this camp is basically to teach you how to bowl like Parker Bohn"
These swings from the pba pros you mentioned seem smooth… the only thing that wasn’t smooth… those dang twister pins… sounds less iconic than the wood pins.
I was waiting for Mitch and Frankie to be on this list. Glad to see them here

Hupé is statistically the best spare shooter on tour currently
Ozio! Glad to see him on this round. Whenever I got into a slump I would visualize his swing and it often got me fixed. Thanks!
I would like to nominate AJ Chapman and Nelson Burton Jr. for future videos!

Nice tips, thanks for sharing!
Said it in Part 1 and saying it again. MOOKIE BETTS, despite not beeing a full time bowler, has one if the best swings ever.

Thanks for including Lavoie !
If you plan on making a third part please look at cooley's release !
I don't think he's been televised yet but Israel Potter has one of the smoothest 2 handed laydowns ever
300 at the us open is absolutely insane

Glad to see 1 of my 2 previous suggestions make this video - PB3. Now for Anthony Pepe in Part 3. 🙏
So glad to see Mitch on the list. He’ll always have a fan as long as I’m still around

Might wanna put EJ Tacket up here. His whole Approach is smooth.
Forest kritzer has a smoooooth action as well like easily on of the nicest actions
Dan MacLelland has a gorgeous swing
incase if youre making another video, im surprised i havent seen josh blanchard or zach wilkins, two very smooth releases and forms
Couldn’t agree more on the Ozio choice.
Rhino page had a nice swing
Betty Morris - Classic

David Ozio has the prettiest release ever, it is pure perfection..
Lavoie won the Jonesboro trios this year

For my nomination for smooth swings from a pba pro… Nelson Burton Jr.
David Ozio... Almost too perfect. DIRECTLY from the textbook!
Let's not omit the ladies! Danielle McEwan, Verity Crawley, Diana Zavjalova, Lisa Wagner, Leanne Barrett, etc.
Mike Fagan imo
Wed Mallot should have been #1 in part 1, get him in here already.
Earl Anthony Brian Voss David Husted Pete Weber Don Genelo also had smooth swings
andrew anderson is pretty smooth to me
Kyle Sherman throws a pretty shot
How about Steve Jaros?
Another one from the PBA's early days: Joe Joseph.
Bo Burton
Lavoie Is The Best Bowler He Bowled A Perfect 300 Game.
Lavoie is not the only one t make televised 300 games
He’s done it twice.
But Jason Belmonte has done it 3 times on TV.
Gotta add bj Moore in the next one
Johnny Petraglia?
Burton Jr Joe Joseph Joe Kristof Danny Wiseman
Bob Benoit.
Make a "ugliest two handers" 😂 Pakistan hanrahan and Keven Williams,
Scott Devers???
no way, Jose
I’m not jose
ボウリング界から両手投げを禁止するべきである。
Um you missed Mike Fagan! Really?
He was in Part 1
