Robert Smith my favorite bowler of all time. Man was a beast!!

[@t.r.e.c.elevators8428]

59:28 Robert Smith not only converted the 3-6-10, but he destroyed the hell out of that safety glass due to how hard he shoots his spares.

[@NateCraven318]

God, the things Robert Smith can do to a bowling ball are insane.

[@johncarlton4918]

Dude was an absolute beast!!!

[@tylerberg4360]

Maximum Bob one of my favorite old school players to watch , it's a shame Injuries got the best of him.

[@chaos0852]

He’s still bowling in regionals

[@johnjones3121]

I agree, he was amazing.

[@mpup54]

he came back from the injuries after some doctor figured it out.

[@dmoore0079]

I've never seen another single handed bowler get the revs Robert Smith was capable of. Easily 500+RPM.

[@odellus]

@@dmoore0079 there are a lot nowadays and there were quite a few even 20 years ago. robert had higher ball speed than just about anyone though.

Simi Valley, Ca. I met him at the local bowling alley where I bowled in a league as a teenager early 90's. Great guy. I wish he could have been around much longer

[@mpup54]

he is not dead

[@Cerellador]

I got the privilege to bowl with Robert Smith in Chattanooga Tn in an Pro-Am event , I had an awesome time.

[@od6421]

Omg, the racks are so fast! Unless messengers fly at Robert Smith speed, they aren't getting there in time

[@Wolfman12395]

59:45 LOL!!!

[@mpup54]

Its literally impossible to beat Walter Ray on telecasts at this particular bowling alley, go back and look at those other wins from Walter. So what Robert did here was near impossible bucking with the history of this tournament. This could be considered an upset.

[@BagelzNLockz]

Robert s,mith will forever be my fav bowler. He was the best in the 10th for the wheat On the left is PA Lucky i know both of them Robert simce im 15 PA simce im 6

RIP Golden Pin Lanes

[@mpup54]

I loved all the telecasts they did there. I truly hate the whole Bolero thing and how bowling is only played for a portion of the year, as if it isnt a year round sport. They dont even realize the errors of everything they are doing compared to when bowling was the #1 show on TV.

[@alexischeeseman4699]

Amazing 😍

[@Mainzer74]

Its funny how many dinosaur bowlers complain about two handers "cheating" but Robert Smith put more on it and threw it harder and he isn't "cheating". Only problem with bowling is close minded bowlers.

[@omegavladosovich6757]

Belmo would probably still be able to do 500rpm at age 70 while most crankers start stroking/cutting down revs within the first 10 years of their years.

[@Mainzer74]

@@omegavladosovich6757I believe Belmo has cut down his rev rate in recent years as well citing more consistent reaction. He is super smooth though. And hopefully he can stay healthy. Smith was using a Sarge Easter grip to cut down on Rev Rate and still was capable of getting to 600+ rpm or better. But alas Robert had some hip issues.

[@UhKimboze]

@@Mainzer74 it makes me wonder like was his physiology just perfect for high rev rate or did he understand it better than anyone else ever did?

[@omegavladosovich6757]

@@Mainzer74 yeah my point is that 2hands gives better physical longevity than, whether it is unfair or not. Chris Barnes and Tim Mack used to be hard crackers but struggled with their physical condition and became strokers. Robert Smith tried twohanding for a while but went back to one hand recently.

[@NateCraven318]

@@omegavladosovich6757 Bobby went to two hands because he was suffering from a nerve condition called fibromyalgia; with this condition, even a small cut can feel like a gunshot (depending on the severity of the condition). From what I read that petered off and he's back to one hand.

Certainly played a role but he just wasn't as consistent as some other power players at the time like Tommy Jones and Wes Malott

[@Overcomer1960]

Real bowling using one hand. The way it was meant to be.

[@stratocaster0842]

Bowling began with wooden balls rolled on grass. Balls had one fingerhole and one thumbhole. If you’re a true “traditionalist” who cares about “how it’s supposed to be”, you better only bowl with a wooden ball on grass. Anything else is against bowling origin and tradition. Let me guess, every advancement, every piece of technology is just fine, except the one you DON’T personally use yourself. Am I right? Of course I am. You’re just hypocrite #83,193 on the subject. Reactive resin balls are 1,000 times more against “real bowling” than the two handed approach (release is still one handed) ever was or will be. But you use reactive, don’t you?
