Bill
then got together with retired engineer, Claude
Giguere and they came up with an idea for a much
better bowling device.
Bill is a co-founder of
the corporation that has designed and manufactured a unique device
that allows most wheelchair users to bowl.
|
We
then graduated from bowling badly with the pushing
method |
 |
To the
I can (IKAN) bowl Way better method! |
And then the "IKAN
Bowler" was born. For more specific details
about the birth of the "IKAN Bowler", checkout their website
at
http://www.IKANbowler.com.
Being involved in the development of
this product that could truly enrich the lives of the disabled
community has been great. My bowling average is actually
better now (with the "IKAN Bowler") than my able-bodied bowling
average was. My high score to date is a 152.
Once a caddy places the bowling ball
on the device with direction from the wheelchair user, the
wheelchair user is in complete control of the ball's release.
My injury level forces me to be completely DEPENDENT on others.
So for me personally, the overwhelming feeling of independence I
get when bowling with the "IKAN Bowler" is great! It's
awesome to participate in a sport that I thought would never
again be possible.
