These video clips were taken during a bowling clinic session by Robert Smith at Hong Kong Bowling City in Oct 2009. This is an original video never published before. Enjoy!

awesome, thank you very much

Interesting. I noticed he has the wrist cupped all the way past the heel and doesn't up-cup until the hand passes the toe. Is that how its normally done, or only he can do this?
-
From what he told me he actually felt like he uncupped and released the ball before (or right when) his hand reached the sliding foot. But usually what you feel is different from what is really happening.

Yeah normally you would try and start to un cup when you feel your hand reaching around your heel area
the delay that takes place naturally from what you feel and what is taking place means that you really dont start to un cup till you are around your toe area (this all happens in a fraction of a second)
take a look at this vid of Wes and see how late his wrist motion is

love robs game, such power... shame about his injuries
-
Kinda makes you wonder if he had been using "this" form instead of his other style, if the injuries would have happend...
I do think this form is alot better and he still revs the crap outa the ball..

I do believe his injuries were eventually traced to fibromyalgia... not really something his style can be blamed for.

pure power

what would happen if he never uncuped his wrist??
-
That's sick! (in a good way).
Did he go away from the Sarge Easter grip?

He would be hitting up on it. Not sure of the results would be but it's probably not a reaction he would want.

I thought he was on 900 G staff I didnt know he went to roto

He told me he was a "free agent" this year. He was only wearing the Roto jersey for that particular trip to Hong Kong only.

During the trip to Hong Kong he was a free agent (mostly throwing Storm/Roto but had a few hammers and global balls). After the Hong Kong trip he signed with Global 900 and is still on there current staff.

Only throw the good stuff, Roto/Global.

yeah Rob hasn't been with the Sarge Easter in a while, he feels he can control his roll now with fingertip.

I wonder if at that point of un-cupping, does it create more revs than leaving it cupped through your follow through?

much more... "snapping" the wrist at the bottom of the swing creates a much higher rev-rate than just staying cupped all the way through.

Check out Osku at the point of release. He does not leave his wrist cupped.
