Inside the OC - Episode No. 38 - Tom Hess

Coming up on the Inside the OC podcast, one of the sport's do-it-all guys drops by to talk bowling, equipment, preparation and winning. Vernon Peterson is a 2013 Regular Team champion at the #USBCOpen​, and he moonlights as ball reviewer for Bowlers Journal International.

Before two-handed bowling was so popular, Jim Cripps had the market cornered on non-traditional deliveries. He turned heads at the #USBCOpen​ in 2005 and has been an AMAZING ambassador for the sport and OC ever since. His passion for bowling is unmatched. On this episode of the Inside the OC podcast we talk with The Backwards Bowler!
