Loft much?? Good lord. Most bowlers I see set the ball down much smoother. Only time ive loft that much is when the shot was really starting to dry out. Nothing against him just to me thats kind of unusual. Looked like he was using a Storm Paradigm too.

He does throw a good shot, I'll give that to him.  A little loft, that kind of angle, and that reaction, and I can believe he shoots some high scores.  The ball reacts so clean and strong on the backend that I imagine he carries everything.  The reaction shape of the ball looks just like Mika's, and we all know how effective it can be.  More than one 900, or the first 900 period?  Believe it or not, I can see it.  I had the back 18 the other night, and if I'd have been a little slower and smoother the first game and a half, I'd have thrown 30+ strikes in the set.  There's a guy here in town that shot 856 last year.  Had 33 strikes in the set.  Down and in, consistent and clean.  I don't think anyone ever deserves 900, but I could see this guy doing it too.  I'm pretty skeptical about the whole deal, especially because this kid is claiming to have a bunch of them now, but I've seen the Paradigm in action, and you get that ball in the right hands with a decent reaction that holds up, and it's dangerous, no joke.

He mentioned going on tour, if thats the case, he needs to learn how to talk while on tv then. His style is different that much is obvious. He threw some great looking shots but the question is, how many takes did it really take for those 5-6 shots??

We got to remember that this kid shot his 900 series in a center that his dad owns.  And he said that he shot two more of those in practice, IN THE SAME CENTER.  If this kid thinks he can throw that same shot in different houses, lane surfaces, and lane conditions, he'd better think again.  I wonder if this kid could handle sport conditions or PBA oil patterns (that are not layed out by his dad or home center)in real competition.  Then I'll believe if this kid is the real deal (no pun on hammer!!)

Hes a big guy and look like he has alot of power but he wussies the ball down the alley? Is there such a thing as powder-puff bowling ?

Things that make you go Hmmm.  a 900 is supposed to be almost impossible.  Yet, this house has had 5 of them in a little over a month.

He's also got one more 900 than most of us, wall shot or not.

I can't believe how SOME of you are on this site! Instead of congradulating him, you BASH him! Some of you say he only did it because his dad owns the house he bowls in, well, if your daddy owned a bowling alley, most people would expect to see you throw some big games! Get off the kids back. He threw it, you didn't so GET OVER IT!

Why do you think my White Dot's pink?

Five 900s in a month?  All I want is one 700. *sigh*

Inverted 1, you're too kind.

However, there's still the matter of executing correctly(or, close to it) for 36 consecutive shots.  Then, after you've controlled everything that you can, it's up to the almighty.  If had nights where I've thrown the ball pretty well.  "900" well?  Probably not.  Even so, it's a lot to ask for.  It's as much luck as is it skill.

In any event, he's got me beat by 66.

In the mean time, pencil me in for a trip to New York for their next scratch tourney.  I'd love to shoot 1056 in four games and worry if I made the cut.
