  Don Genalo (born February 21, 1958) is an American right-handed ten-pin bowler and former member of the Professional Bowlers Association.
  
  ## PBA career
  
  Genalo joined the PBA Tour in 1981, and won a total of 6 PBA nationally televised tournament titles during his career.
  
  Genalo is a right handed bowler, he notably uses the finger tip grip, and places his pointer and little fingers very close together with the other two. This allows his hand to stay behind the ball, while allowing his unusually long fingers to maximize the lift upon delivery.
  
  He was inducted into the Ohio State USBC Hall of fame in 2003
