Career
In her career, Feldman won 14 professional titles: 12 on the PWBA Tour and two more in the PBA Women's Series. She was named 2002 PWBA Player of the Year and was also honored as the Bowling Digest Bowler of the Year in 2002.[1]
She most recently competed in the PBA Women's Series, which was sponsored by the United States Bowling Congress (USBC). She won two of the first three Women's Series events in the 2008–09 season. She failed to win a singles title in the 2009–10 season, but finished high enough in points to earn a spot in the season-ending PBA Women's Series Showdown. Feldman won this April 6–8 event, defeating Shannon Pluhowsky and Stefanie Nation in the finals.[2]
On July 10, 1997, Feldman became the first female bowler to roll a 300 game on American national television. She accomplished the feat at the PWBA Southern Virginia Open at the age of 21.[3][4]
Feldman has a high-powered, high-rev "cranker" style delivery that is uncommon among female bowlers. The style earned her the nickname "Twister Sister."[5]
