[Doza418]

maximum bob's forearm is the size of my calves. LOL!!!

[TrendSettaRico]

can we get some sub titles, english dubs, hell even bad voice overs would do lol

[ZoaN90]

Lobato Sumitsu xD

[Booker435]

sickest human alive

[HDRider2002]

Everyone always wants more revs, Norm Duke and WRWJ have done just fine over the years playing awfully straight. I'm a power player and have spend countless hours trying to learn to throw it straight!

[derekli04]

man... that was a tough break at 5:35 with the washout. really good attempt.

[99girth]

robert smith/tommy jones both put more revs on their ball than i could ever hope to, i am jealous i need more revs

[PlaceInHistory]

@99girth

How many revs does the greatest bowler ever (WRWJr) have on his ball? It's not about who has the most revs. It's about who is the most versatile, consistent and knowledgeable bowler.

[bowlerdude95]

@PlaceInHistory I'm with you, but being versatile includes knowing how to put some revs on the ball too ;)

[amescher100]

@PlaceInHistory walter still gets more revs than the average league bowler

[i3enthebowlerkid]

@99girth Tommy jones rev rate is not that high he maxes out around 500

[nookd4ddy]

that is just ridiculous lol who else can here their ball rev downlane thats insane...

[awall017]

Robert Smith looks sooo different with long hair! i had no idea he grew his hair out like that. its wierd seeing the same movements made by a man that looks so different

[s9439486d]

is tat robert smith!?!?!?!?

i mean he looks weird.....

[Nofearjay88]

he totaly fucked it up at the end hHAHAHHAA

[crusader13]

What makes this so cool is like the ball even has like a sound effect behind it, lol, it just makes the throws even better. I guess it could be just uneven oil patter or uneven woodboards all I know is that it sounds cool.

[parkit56]

The sound you hear is the track flaring over the engraving. Both Smith and Shafer had the same layout, but you can hear the difference in rev rate.

[gurowiczw]

that first shot by smith makes me think

HOLY SHIT!!!!

[Robry789]

You think the lanes are just a little on the dry side, I don't think i've ever seen shafer stand that far left ever.

[Skatemafia4lyfe2K6]

Then you need to watch the 2006 US Open. He actually had to zig-zag in front of the ball return.

[derekli04]

shafer's a power player too, just an older one with less revs but still quite a bit. he's also one of the most consistent bowlers on tour.

[sourcetags]

Its a shame because he does make top 10 consistantly at events but doesn't get much creadit.

[s2dio]

In a few parts, due to the camera angle, it looks like Smith is trying to use the Force on Shafer...

[Jason29n]

you guys are all over smiths balls but did you fail to realize he bowled 170 lol??

[s2dio]

But a Maximum Bob 170 is more fun to watch than 250+ from most pros.

[Skatemafia4lyfe2K6]

It's true. I'd rather wat Robert Smith shoot 170 than to see WRW shoot 250. I just want to know how he gets all that hit on the ball.

[Wolfman12395]

ONLY 2 STEPS!!!

[GrKaNgEl10]

I agree.. Thats's like WOW

[Yustynn]

Those guys SO beat me

[GrKaNgEl10]

Haha me too!! by umm a lot of points XD

and wow how smith releases the ball.. he like throws it half way through the lane and what an amazing curve!!!

and I thought my curve was a lot!! pff I was really wrong. XD

[MyVideosRLame13]

smith is a beast

[antivanity]

Weird approach!
