I love the announcer - in the last match with Bryon Smith - he kept saying the left lane was his bad lane. He tugged one shot, but at that time, he had his only 3 strikes that game on the left lane - he had 9 counts on every shot on the right. The speaker (don't know which one - and I don't care) obviously hadn't looked at the scoreboard - which just happened to be shown on the screen as he was making his "bad lane" comment for the 3rd time in 2 minutes...

The Boost is the same ball he won with the first stop of the season.  That ball is NICE, I need to get another one . .

Make up your mind.  In the Lane #1 forum, you said Steelsmith's reactions is what you see.  If you hit the very outside, it better be 40' down the lane at 20 MPH.  That wasn't the normal dry outsides that a typical house shot has.  With the parade of honor scores (especially the blind guy, LOL) you report from your home lanes, they can't be incredibly difficult.  After the first game shootout, the world's best only averaged 217.  Walter Ray was fishing looking for the best reaction and carry.  I don't think Ciccone would have shot much with his hook set reaction after the lanes transitioned.  He would have pinged more 10's than Steelsmith.

Those Brunswick coverstocks . . See what happened to Rick Steelsmith? My Lane 1 stuff does that. Then you try to get around it, and it overhooks or hooks early


I thought maybe WRW started out with a Crunch?

Where is that individual. By the way...if you never tried laying down and looking down the lane...try it. Then come on here and post what you see.

This doesn't really have to do with the telecast, but where did Robert Smith get the name "Maximum Bob"?

First of all, my home house isn't the one I report the crazy scores from.  My home house sucks, lol.  Secondly, the lanes were fine, it's the Brunswick and Lane 1 stuff I don't like.  My X-Factor works great.  Brunswick and Lane 1 hook/set/roll out.  Was anybody else's stuff rolling out on the show?  Walter Ray didn't have such a great angle of rotation his first game, but the ball still turned the corner and MOVED towards the pins.  A couple of Robert Smith's shots would have rolled out big time if he'd have been throwing a Brunswick/Lane 1 ball.

Riiiight.

Because everyone knows that PK18, or PK/LS are so susceptible to rolling out. <rolleyes>

Bottom line Hammy, Steelsmith was NOT rolling out. If anything it was a case of not using a ball that was aggressive enough.

The stuff about ALL of brunswick's coverstocks hooking at your feet just isn't true, as anyone who's thrown the slay/r can tell you. It IS true that they don't skid/snap as much, but for many people a strong arc is exactly what we like.

"Bob" is short for Robert... he has a drilling that INTENTIONALLY lowers his rev rate, he ALWAYS throws a huge hook at 22+ mph... come on now. lets put 2 and 2 together.

i don't care who makes it, how much it costs, or how sexy the ball looks. can i carry the 7 and level the deck with a $60 ball?

I'm serious!  The stuff hook/sets, geez.  The only ball I could get to pick up and actually roll at the pocket at the same angle it rolled the first 35 feet was my Raging Red Fuze.  If Steelsmith wasn't getting rollout, what was he getting?  The ball was definitely burning energy too quickly at the breakpoint.  Even Ciccone's stuff was doing the hook/set/roll out thing, and he was coming a lot more around the side than Steelsmith was.  I guess I'll have to make some videos and post them since nobody believes me.

I hope we get pattern E for JOG in July. Am I the only one not that impressed with Robert Smith?

Agreed,

Rat, i would love to see you on pattern E. It is easy compared to other pba patterns but still not bumper bowling like most (90%) house shots.
 As far as the brunswick roll out issue. Yes, I throughly thought Steelsmiths ball reaction was rolling out. I thought his belly out angle hit the dry too soon and he didn't get enough bounce to carry the ten. Joe Ciccone made one bad release and paid for it. I really thing he had the right roll (tilt and axis rotation) for that shot even after transition.
 Maximum Bob threw the ball great and deserved the championship especially with the move he made in the last part of the final game. One note here: I thought he was using a Ultra Hot(will check the tape again)drilled basically label 105 degree drilling. All in all a great telecast with a good first showing for Ciccone and a great final match between two monsters of our sport.
 And for the idiot who talked about Walter cheating you have no clue. If he was going to mess him up he would have pissed the plastic up the gutter to delay his break. Walter was burning too much up front at first and tried inside more to get more head oil push to increase entry angle.

Okay, well I mean, Robert definitely is good, and I am impressed with how much hand he has and his game in total. And I am not bashing the guy, its just everyone seems to think of him as great and what the PBA needs, and I just disagree with that. I dont mean to bash him, he is very good, no doubt. I have favorite bowlers and some bowlers I cannot stand at all, he is just one of them in the middle who I have no feelings on. I just do not see all the fuss on him, thats all. And the thing will Walter cheating? He doesnt need to cheat at all. But even with people who do that, I do not see the big deal, its part of the game.
