As written by Lefty in the Zone...it was in league with everyone else bowling.
What happened to when prodigies came around and people admired them and tried to emulate them.
I've watched the tape and I have always wished I was a better walled condition bowler.
Bowled with a guy this week that went like 27X 26x to finish night and the 3 times he didn't strike were bad luck! He has a GREAT area release though He doesn't throw it as powerfully as this kid.
You know what I'm talking about ...the area release thumb out a long time before the fingers ball staying on the fingers forever! In bowling secrets of the pros
High Scoring Made Simple..by Bill HorvathBill explains the secret is this early release of the thumb which leads to tremenendous area. Having a great match of speed and revs also helps and strenght like this kid appears to have doesn't hurt much either.
Thsi kid has what Bowling Secrets above talks about...it will not surprise me if he throws ANOTHER 900 or two in the next two years(OF Course on a walled condition!)! And some might be in practice and some might be in prebowl.
If people had reacted like this when Roger Bannister broke 4:00 in the mile or Vasilev Alexeev broke 500 pounds in the Clean and Jerk these guys may have been burned at teh stake.... Instead the 4 minute mile was broken many times immediately after people believed it could be done. Instead the 500 pound clean and jerk was broken about 30 times in the next two years....Now people believed. But times have changed...Disdaining accomplishment is a national disease!
And so it is with this accomplishment....those that quote statistics in their heads about why it is improbable to throw the next strike...Won't. Those that don't think they can or are ahead of their average so maybe they should get back to normal...WILL! Those that say...."I've only been bowling for a year and I'm not even lefthanded...I can't win this tournament...WONT!
However, those that think.. "I can do this". "Isn't accomplishment FUN".
"Just because others can't doesn't mean I CAn't".
But like Robert Mushtare thinks...."I have this ability to throw strikes on this type of condition....and I'm just going to keep doing it....OVER AND OVER AND OVER....this is fun!" "I can see it and I can feel it"
I say it every day when I post...."Open the door(your mind) see what's possible...and walk right thru!"
He has shown you the possible...accept the gift.... walk thru the door and explore your OWN personal potential! This is the old style of encountering accomplishment...it is so much more fun than bitterness! And leads to greater accomplishment for you ...whereas bitterness leads to stagnation at your current level!
