Robert tends to spray it a bit, but he's still a very good bowler.  I thought I was the only one that saw rollout with Steelsmith . .  He wasn't throwing the ball that great, but my only point is that if the ball wasn't rolling out, what was it doing?  That looked to be the same ball roll he's had for a long time.  He was throwing a Power Blitz in KC exactly the same way, and it was reacting pretty strong.  That Slay/R was just dying.  So that is my question to those that didn't think the ball was rolling out.  If it wasn't, just what WAS it doing?

Hamster R-
    Yes, Steelsmith's ball was rolling out. Perhaps, he was doing that on purpose, like Amleto does. However, at the end of his match, did you notice he seemed to soften his speed a bit, and the ball turned the corner, hit & carried? He's probably kicking himself a bit, as he "found it" when he was already beat.

That's what I thought . . .  I did notice he softened his speed and came a little more around it in the tenth frame and as a result threw some pretty good shots.  Just wanted to make sure I wasn't totally crazy.

Look, if he softened his speed & the ball started to turn the corner, then it was NOT rolling out in the first place.

Roll out is caused by the expenditure of too much energy, this causes the ball to quit hooking as much because there simply isn't the potential energy left in the ball to continue the motion. It also contributes to lackluster hitting power.

Hence the reason many slower player have begun having so much trouble with rollout in the days of high load particles.

What I will say is this. With ANY ball, to maximize your hitting power the ball needs to be in a roll. If you are throwing the ball through the breakpoint (ex. Steelsmith) the ball will maintain its skid too long & not finish like it should. On shorter patterns & carrydown this can appear to be roll out.

So, it wasn't a matter of the softening of his speed to stop the ball from rolling out. It was a matter of giving the ball a chance to hook up at the breakpoint & not skid through.

I think that the ideal ball for Steelsmith probably would have been a Moster Bruiser on that day. A smooth reacting core like the Slay/r, a polished cover to get through the heads, but a little more bite from the PK18 coverstock.

Good points, but it was a shorter pattern, and Brunswick likes to hook early and sharply.  If nothing else, I love how clean Brunswick coverstocks are.  When they start moving, they move.  Man I want another Raging Red.

All I can say is that the camera shots are very crappy. Why focus close up on their faces. Let's get close up of where they are standing, their releases, follow throughs and the path of the ball. Keep those signs and scores off their bodies put them after or before the shots.

WRW started with a Track Magic. PBA pattern E is easy to PBA players and would probably be a shot a decent league bowler could average 200+ on. When 4 bowlers out of the total field are under I dont care what ANYONE says it is a soft shot. Is it a house shot? No. But if anyone watched the show it was very easy to get to the pocket. Us average bowlers would probably have to figure out a way to carry.
