Title: Robert Smith
Post by: bct on October 05, 2007, 12:29:32 AM: Last night Robert was at Jeffs pro shop in Bay city Mi doing a meet and greet for Elite bowling. He show cased there balls and other products. I have had the pleasure of meeting Robert in the past and he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. What I want people to know is that my friends son who is 7 years old was there bowling and Robert was talking to the adults at the time, he excused himself and walked over to Ethan and spent some time helping Ethan with his timing and release. People need to see and hear about the great things that pros do such as this. I want to say thank you to Robert and good luck with Elite our sport needs more people like you.

Great to hear he is doing well and that he is a nice guy. Maybe I'll bump into him if I go to the Big Island or if he comes out to Oahu.

He lives in Ohio now... I think after being layed up like that Hawaii got a little too expensive.

He said HI was great to visit but when you are on an island that you can drive around the whole thing in 5 hours that it doesnt take long to get bored because you have seen everything there. I am glad hes moving to ohio that way I can compete against him in more regionals. I dont find it weird that he was using the cheetah on the shark. With his revs he could probably use plastic.
