I hope Maximum Bob is a mainstay on these videos from now on. He was the first bowlers name I remembered.
Hell yeah, loved the two videos he has done so far. Give us more, please.
I'm really impressed with how well Bob is able to articulate what motion he is wanting to see and why. Entertaining and educational.
Man, i wish every ball review would be as well explained as robert did here.
Robert Smith is the GOAT!
I was wondering who it was until I saw the approach, the high back swing and the release. It's Robert Smith, the one that I used to watch back in the days on TV. Wow, amazing how he can still bowl like he was a teenager! Lot of power!
Robert is always great at explaining his viewpoint on new equipment. Need more Maximum Bob👍🏼🍻🇺🇸
Robert's explanations of what he is doing are so valuable and well articulated. Looking forward to more videos with him.
I have thrown a lot of urethane over the decades, both Vintage and Modern urethane and have never had any urethane ball go into the left gutter when throwing up 5 board.
I attribute that effect not to the ball, but to Robert's insane revs and heavy roll!
And by "breaking in," note he was not wiping the ball, he was just letting oil build up into the cover to lubricate it and cut down on the friction potential.
If he had cleaned the ball to get the oil off and moved back right, it would have gone back into the left gutter.
This is my next ball. I got an IQ78 a couple weeks ago. I moved 7 boards right in a game and a half as it got oil on it. Used it a couple days ago and was only one board left of my C300 White Dot. My purple was 5 boards left of the IQ.
Definitely gonna need more Maximum Bob on ball reviews!!
Absolutely keep him doing reviews. The way he articulates what he's doing and thinking is very very good
I have a feeling that BrunsNick is recording these for hammer lol. Looks exactly like his vids
Bob’s a natural on camera, great breakdown of Urethanes!
I hope to meet him if he bowls the pba50 tour. I miss seeing him bowl on tour
I like the way Bob has shown us how to break a urethane ball in and I sure hope he stays on these Brunswick videos. Thanks Bob. 9:55 Wow
He explains way better than anyone ive ever watched
Damn dude. Last time I watched Bob he was a young buck on a PBA broadcast. I love you man, you always cranked it so hard, so fun to watch
Thats how I feel. I was like..woah..I think injuries and "meds" have something to do with the way he looks and sounds.
I didn't know Robert Smith was with B7 now? Bad ass! One of my favorite players of all time and super cool guy! Seeing this video was a huge gift! Love me some Maximum Bob.
Great video, Nick! I love these long form videos where great players just play and talk. I've learned so much from these.
I'm so happy that we've got Maximum Bob on the internet. Between his channels and now hammer, fantastic
Also, thanks for those shots at his feet, his rev rate you can absolutely see it cling and make the move early
The shot around the 9:50 was gorgeous - hot damn. It's great that Uncle Maximum is back
one of my favs growin up. loved watching him in his prime, wish I could get another 10 years of prime maximum bob
It's GREAT to see you bowling again, stay healthy! God bless you Bob!
wow man that is cool! Kept your normal type of release but articulated how you were going to make it work - moving left, taking speed off it, but still sending it directly to the friction quickly. I misunderstood when you said get to the friction quickly before you actually demonstrated it. I correlated "friction quickly" with increased speed, but you basically made your angle very steep (the friction quick part), and the slower speed was so it doesnt actually GO in the gutter with that type of move. My throw on the right side of the lane, especially with urethane, is a change in hand/wrist position alongside more speed. Basically trying to take shape out of my normal throw. I will have to keep this adjustment in mind > throw to friction earlier & slow it down.
I was ecstatic when i heard this Bob signed with Hammer. It just makes sense. Hope to see more of him!
You were the most entertaining on TV ever!!! Loved it every time you made a telecast win or lose. Good luck on the PBA50! I can't wait to watch.
That was probably the best bowling ball review I've ever er seen
Rob I loved the way you throw it. I would love to see a video with an old timer who threw the original black hammer. Go get Nelson Burton Jr. He set a record on TV with the black hammer. I would love to see him throw it.
The 1984 AMF Angle Open. One of the greatest urethane performances of all time. Bo rolled it straight right up 10/11 board. Hit like I have never seen before.
Check out pre-resin John Gant for some powerful Black Hammer action.
Rob You Bowled some action in the NYC area. You are a beast. Love the way you kill those pins.💪💪
I love me some Robert smith!!!
Thank you Bob! You put into words what I have been trying to explain to people when I use urethane in league.
Reminds me of the pre-resin days. Best of luck out there Robert.
Wow that was very interesting. I never knew urethane had to be broken in. Great video
More from Mr. Smith please. thanks
More Maximum Bob!
This is what people need to see when they ask if they need/want a urethane ball
Cool video talk tech bowling ball
excellent explanations by an all-time great ! i don't even like urethane, but couldn't stop watching this crazy vid - please treat us serious league bowlers to more of Maximum Bob !
Just perfect!
Super Nice guy. Always helpful. Great Video content
This was very informative and actually showed me how to use my purple and blue!
Love hearing your process Robert.
First shot and second shot that ball looked as if it wanted to break 3-4 times before it finally started to hook HOLY MACKEREL that ball is super super aggressive right out of the box but awesome awesome action.
Great video maximum bob
Robert, I have the double X from Radical. The house that I shoot at is squarely. What I've found out after today is the first game I can throw my DNA pin down from around 17 and out to 8 and be ok. The second game goes to hell. Can not make Pocket and Carrie at all. Went to Double X last game and like you outside line two early. My trick which I saw a guy do in the mid 90's was to stand about 40 and throw 3rd arrow. This ball likes oil because it would go out a little and pop into the pocket. I am a senior(64) so I do have low ball speed. My game is still good though, my average is only 189 right now. The house has new owners so they have changed the shot. I shot 216, 157 & 220 for 593. Hoping to get to the low 200s. by season end. Oh yea, the question is why does this ball seem to like oil?
Hope we see more of the goat on here
robert don't often stone 9 pin as right hander.keep the great content coming bro!
This ball is great. I plan to get it after my tournament in Montana. I already have a purple hammer.
Wow what a great and informative video!
LOL at first shot
Good to see you back pal!
bob makes a black hammer look like a purple hammer.
Thank you
How were you able to move the ball so much. Rev rate? Hand placement ?
Hooking the whole lane with hard urethane lol. Even with grayer hair dude still has a ton of hand.
Fire it up the shim!!!!!!
heyyy.... i know these lanes... brunsnick fans where u at
Do you not wipe urethane balls in general or just when using for the first time?
Wasn't he in a band?
Do you recommend from the left side ?
what caucaisian chester stone doin????
Robert Smith making urethane shape like reactive...and now this ball is banned right after it's been released. 🤣
Maximum Brands of Brunswick
I like to see that Bob likes to tuck the pinky finger.
Maximum Bob: "This Urethane ball isn't gonna have a ton of backend, or at least it shouldn't.
Proceeds to hook the first ball into the left gutter...
Ok this is where I should introduce myself. Hi, I'm a Pro Bowler my name is Robert Smith, a.k.a. "Mr. Backend", "Mr. Hook". Google me, RUclips me... you'll understand.
"Maximum Bob"! .......lol
Is Bob throwing 15 or 16 pounds? I throw 14 lbs
👍👍👍
Can't sale it, Bob. It needs a re-work and everyone knows it. No one is using it in all 3 leagues I throw. Try harder, not quicker! AND, you do not see ALLOT of people on Tour using it either.
I still make people watch what Smith did in Chicago in either 06 or 07. Just put on a fucking show that was amazing
