i listened to him on youtube livestream(Bowling with the Fef) a couple days ago and he said he be doing all the majors and a few select tournaments on the 50+ tour next year
haha i agree, only thing i can think of is eitehr that robert was only taking 4 steps, or the video started before they showed it missing the first step he took
What I meant to say was, was this U.S. Open pattern not like the normal one? Really, these guys are playing outside, you always play inside on the U.S. Open.
question for irishpogi. There was a tournament that Robert lost to Pete Weber each while throwing a Piranha. I believe this was very early in Smiths TV career, but I havent been able to figure out if this tournament is online here. Lemme know if you got it or can upload it. I am not sure if it is 2000, 1999 or earlier.
I just spoke to Robert the other day at the 2017 Masters. I told him I remembered the day when he picked up two big fours in a single JAT tournament game. He told me he actually made them both by cutting the pin across. Now that is jaw dropping accuracy. I was impressed anyone remembered that. Year unkown but it was publicized in the youth magazine that covers JAT and YABA. It was not televised.
Wrong, this wasn't your typical house shot. Norm just happened to make exceptional shots up until those two very small errors. The point of a US Open condition is force players to throw really good shots and to magnify errors and shots that just slightly off target.
Both of these guys are the nicest people you'd ever want to meet!!!
I like both bowlers ALOT! Duke already at 40 titles and Smith was always one of my favorites.
robert smith with tears in his eyes, and you see him say "god damn it bobby", gives me chills everytime i see it
When you take a rerack, you effect your own rhythm.
Maximum Bob was using a 4 step approach, Randy lol
lol randy goes, robert has 5 step
and bobby starts with his right foot
BIG LOL
Can you picture Robert Smith on the PBA50 tour? Be afraid, y'all.
Maximum bob! To me had the best ball and release I’ve ever seen.

Irish!! You're the man!
7:14 RS
Would've liked to see just how good he could've been had he been able to stay healthy
He still bowls now. Just not on tour. Still good but more tame and slides
nope lol.
ive seen him bowl, and the pressure just makes hum crumble. however, thanks for the vids!
Do You know which balls were they using?
That is Jan Schmidt
smith's rev rate is so high that the ball changes colorsxD
honkindonkey lol
Robert Smithhhhhhh
so this was not an inside shot?
it feels good to win a major title
wow, thats a different strike line for the us open pattern
偉大な2人のボウラーは既に引退しています。😢 わたしだけ取り残されたようで とっても寂しいかぎりです。お２人供お元気で‼️
HOW MANY!?
You've got to be kidding me!!!

Yeah, I know, I posted that comment a month ago.
Wow, Randy was really hyper when he first started out as a color analyst. He seemed jumpy with his words too. Slow it down, Randall!

That’s a four step approach, Randy cannot count
choke shot by norm but a damn good match still

mpup54 Someone already posted that. 1994 Cal Bowl Lakewood, California
AC Delco, I guess I thought Norm was Pete. ;P I loved the Piranha, and the U2. My fav balls back then

I believe his JAT's were 1991 or 1992 @@mpup54
Biggest ball of his career at the time, and Duke comes up light, scrambling the pins leaving the 8... Norm choked!
Robert Smith is Da Man...!!! The most Awsome Hook Shot in Bowling History...!!!
@@Kr7Svehn What the guy can do with a bowling ball is unfathomable to many people.
He carried a couple lucky light hits that match to be honest. Norm always had some great luck In my opinion lol
Already dialed in against an opponent who left TWO 4-6-7-10 splits = choke?

You are entitled to your opinions but you don't really need to say he sucks. Next time could you just keep negative comments to yourself please.
this old pattern looks like a jouse shot now days
Robert Smith 202 - Norm Duke 201
and thats only because god gives out luck now days like a doctor gives children candy.
@Musicalbowlrkat300 well its pretty tough to be a pro and suck.... sorta opposites....
@Musicalbowlrkat300 come on man he just a rookie sometimes they win
DUUUUUUKE
smith is good but hes a choke artist on tv.
robert smith sucks. how unfortunate =(
now's he's retired and moved to hong kong
