« on: February 12, 2006, 03:59:19 AM »
Since were watching to guys that can bring it in Devaney and Rash it made me think about who has the highest.

yeah like 9x more revs than Scroggins...  yet we see Scroggins on TV each week.  But as a throwback to some of Pchee's old posts, I'm sure Robert Smith's rev rate gets him more chicks per lane than Scroggins ever dreamed of...

Randy said that Sean was approaching 500 rpm.  On ESPN Classic they had a replay of the 2002 ToC and Randy said that Robert Smith had 540 rpm (540 rpm = 9 revs per second, right?). I think Jason Couch is in that range also.  Anyone know what Tommy Jones has?

My son used the slo-mo on the vcr today and he counted 10 to 11 revs for Scroggs, 21 for Rash and 23 for Devaney.

I remember back a few years randy pederson did a demp with Robert on TV where Robert hit like 740 on the rev rate.  He is the most powerfrul player on tour, but then again we really dont get to see what these guys can really do because of the conditions.  None of the patterns warrant high rev rates, so no one will really be able to know.

They also said he was able to consisitently throw between 710-720 for some shots, so it's not like he just put everything into it for one shot either.

hard to tell.

most are using sarge/drop ring finger grips to cut down rev rate.

He was recoreded having a 740 rpm shot but the 34 miles per hour was just throwing it straight.  There is now way a person can throw a ball 34 miles per hour using a rev release.  The ball would have to get to the pocket in uder 1 sec.  Not possible.

Robert Smith can put more revs on the ball than anyone on tour.

You're correct, but can you just imagine if it actually *was* a 34mph, 740rpm shot?
