What was Smith throwing?
« on: October 12, 2003, 12:29:06 AM »
Barbed Wire, Big Hit Pearl??
His seemed to have much more blue than any of the balls on the website so I couldn't tell.

Yep, it was a Boost.  That, his Hot Wire, the Deuce and for a short time the Tour Power was what he used this week, but either the Boost or Deuce for most of it.

Missed the show but had taped it. In the last game I paused the tape on a frame and the shock trauma logo was on the ball. Boost also has mica shimmer look this was a very dark blue.

The Storm website says a Boost.........I thought it looked like a polished Shock Trauma......I emailed Storm for clarification........

Robert used  a number of Boost's in the last 3 days  He had a hell of a struggle with PDW  & finally beat him with a Tour Power. We sat 3 rows behind him on Sunday & if I recall correctly he did try 4 different balls before the show in warm ups.

Yep, one more confirmation on the Boost.  I too looked for the Power Ball logo, and it was clearly evident on over half his shots.  StormLefty made a good point of giving that definitive "piece of evidence."

Yup, is was a Boost with the pin over the middle finger it look like a 6" layout but anybody take a close look at his Tour Power it had the pin pass  the track that look like a 7" layout.

Yes It was a boost and I agree with what ih8stupid10pins said because when I meet Robert smith last oct I took a pic of his boost that he was using and his dexter spare ball I can try to send it to someone if they want to see and I am 100% about it being a boost because you see a purple swirls in the ball that the shock does not have and he did use a tour power for one frame at the end of his first match play and he was using a deuce when they did the pro approach. I am going to be drilling a boost soon can't wait to try.
