Known Norm personally, for over 40 years, never see him throw any differently & the reason he ranks what he does, but, after watching EJ, his were on the mark consistantly. Noticed he takes control of match, when he feels pressure, as he did in this match against HoF Inductee, Norm Duke. EJ will be a force to be reckoned with for many long years to come !!

@travishanson1662 жыл бұрын
Same as any hook ball, but he snaps his whole arm from the shoulder, elbow and wrist. Hence why he has to sprint to the line. Wrist alone is good for around 425, elbow another 50, and shoulder probably 75, add the sprint to the line, 650 is probably possible, stacking the momentum of the approach with the snap of the arm.

@@cleswag2419 279 is still really good on THS. Top-tier pros such as these two probably average in the mid-240s on THS. Duke did merely average by this standard, even when he pretty badly missed two shots whereas Tackett did very well, leaving only a ring-10 due to poor ball motion entering the pocket, and a 2-pin because it didn't matter on the 12th and was an unfocused attempt. Everything else Tackett buried with almost ideal ball placement in the pocket.

Yeah it's really pretty rare not to see Norm throw 12 into the pocket. It's usually a matter of carry and sometimes him being off a quarter inch here and there. Of course on this night he ran into EJ in locked-in mode. Not going to be too many guys who can beat EJ when he's throwing it pretty much dead flush with that kind of ball speed and rev rate. Skill and precision can often beat power and revs, but on this night EJ had it all going.
