robert smith

This is the clips section of PBA bowler Robert Smith. The right-handed bowler is considered to be the world's most powerful bowler. Smith is able to do things with a bowlingball that were thought to be humanly impossible. During a test he threw one ball with a speed of 34 mph, which is like the speed of light for bowlers. Other top PBA bowlers throw their ball with 24 mph at best. He also creates a lot more revolutions than other PBA bowlers. During the same test he threw a ball with 720 revolutions a minute. Top PBA bowlers achieve 16 revs on an 18 mph thrown bowlingball, while Smith achieves 27 revs on his ball at the same speed. Need I say more...

I have got two short movies of Robert Smith.

• Robert Smith throwing his ball around the fifth arrow and keeping it inside, resulting in a strike. The other person in the clip is Doug Kent.

• Robert Smith throwing his ball around the fourth arrow towards the gutter. The ball goes straight long (due to a lot of foward on the ball) and comes hooking back into the pocket, resulting in a strike.
