SMOOTHEST Bowling Swings in PBA History Part 3

I've recently made two videos where I looked at boulders that I think have the smoothest swings.
There were so many suggestions on both of these videos that I felt I had to make a part three.
There were still some very great boulders that needed to be included in this series but even
narrowing it down to another five boulders for this video was tough and there were some names
I had to leave out. So if your selection still hasn't been included then don't worry because
in the future it might well be that I have to make a part four. But on to today's video and
there are five more boulders that I've chosen so let's start with number one Sean Rash.
That's usually a really good sign. A ton of second place finishes but probably won't get
in because he doesn't have the W's. Brought it back in beautifully. Some of the early nerves
just a great shot here and anytime you see the six pin second to the right on your screen go to
the sidewall and snap the ten pin out like that that's always a great sign. Clearly Sean Rash
isn't exactly everybody's cup of tea. Take that you bottle bitch! However when he burst onto the
scene his power play style caught the eye of many and of course his antics over the years have drawn
attention but he is still incredibly smooth and his swing is extremely efficient. He currently has
17 tour titles including two majors but it's now been three years since his last win. Injuries have
affected him in recent years and 2024 was a pretty poor season as he only cashed six times in 15
events ranking 42nd in points. However he was a member of the Las Vegas High Rollers who did win
the 2024 Elias Cup where Rash himself did put in a very solid performance. Number two Verity Crawley.
Foreseen Verity Crawley starts her night. Ring ten for Verity. Good shot. Has her ten pin, has her mark.
Great shot. Part one saw Daria Payek make the list and she is probably the most obvious choice for
the best swing on the women's tour but a very strong contender also is English bowler Verity
Crawley. For how good she is it's pretty astounding that she only has two titles so far. She easily
could have won more as her first two years as a pro saw her lose in four title matches the most
notable of which was losing by two pins to Shannon O'Keefe 268 to 266 but with her ability I'm
confident she will add to this tally very soon. Number three Nelson Burton jr. He just never lets
lets up he's had now 30 strikes. Surprised the fans here a 10 pin on the left lane.
Final match. Burton jr. when he was 21 years of age. Luckily beating. Nelson Burton jr. aka
Bo Burton wasn't just an iconic PBA commentator he was of course an extremely successful bowler
himself winning 18 titles on the PBA tour including two major championships but his swing and in
his release really catches the eye. The way he releases the ball just looks effortless almost
like he's simply placing the ball on the lane. It allowed him to just repeat shots consistently over
and over again and looking back on his game now it's simply a joy to watch. Number four Sam Cooley.
Knowing how close you are to something like that yeah throw me a fist bump bro
give me something. Top of the seven nine down. Well the last player to shoot 300
in a televised match was Chris Vai. He got a little react right here from
Sam. There we go. As he slaps that one off a bit. Hands in pocket whistling down the sidewalk
for a 300 game. I think I saw him smile. Yeah there it is he smiled Randy.
We got it live on Fox. Sam Cooley smiled. He isn't the most charismatic or expressive player on
television but he does quietly go and get the job done. You would definitely classify his style as
smooth and he is a two-time titlist on the PBA as well as winning six regional titles. He also bowled
the 31st televised PBA 300 game. Number five Josh Blanchard. Don Johnson the 299 game. Josh Blanchard
gets the wife Amy in the crowd flew in last night. Widow Urethane. Sounds ominous. Our final entry on
this list is Josh Blanchard. He had an awesome style but unfortunately he didn't really find as
much success on tour as he would have liked. Although saying that he did win three tour titles
but with the skill he had he could have definitely won a lot more. Unfortunately Josh Blanchard has
now retired from the PBA. And that brings us to an end of today's video. I hope you enjoyed this one
and that you agree with my choices for part three but as always I'd love to hear your suggestions
for any players that I haven't included in the first three parts of this series. And don't forget
