I agree with Merkins.  After watching Rev-O, there's no way I would have believed that he averages what he does.

From what little you can see on a short clip, every video I've seen posted on this site looks like a wall.  You people can claim to see that his is a super wall?  Give me a break.  His launch angle to the break point is pretty consistent.  I suppose the 300's many of us have shot were all picture perfect with no help from the laneman???  Tons of young people who haven't had years of practice at honing their skills average 220.  So this guy might have beaten you to it.  Jealous perhaps?  Sure, there is tons of stuff to not believe about Mushtare's story, but I don't see how you can look at his video and say he has no talent or thrown on a super wall.  Like Fatboy says, someone find out some info about the center.  If the high average in every league is 240+, it's super easy.  If the kid isn't full of it, maybe he just matches up super well to the conditions.  I've seen plenty of people who average 20 pins higher at one house for just that reason.

Telling it like it is.


Nails brings up some good points.  I know there are alley's that everytime I bowl there it's seems like i'm cheating because it so easy.  I know that I have struck and made it to the pocket on some bad shots.  These bad shots on a tough pattern would have never made it to the pocket.  When your on a condition that is that easy all you have to do is throw it right with close to the same ball speed and it's in the pocket.  It's like a funnel and you can't miss.

Well since his dad owns the center and probably knows which lanes the kid was going to prebowl on, it probably wouldn't have been too hard to custom oil it so it's taylor made for the kid.... super-mega-ginormous wall.

Even if the shot is valleyed to the pocket he still has to repeat shot after shot....I have a wall in the house I bowl in but I still have to carry.....so I give him props if he did it and it was legit....but if not well that why they say don't believe everything you see on TV.

You know what... in all honesty, I don't know the kid and I like to believe people on their word until proven otherwise. AND I would have believed one 900 series with no problem. BUT to claim 4 (I don't care if they're practice or sanctioned) when no one ever has had more than one? It does tend to stretch the credibility to the limits.

Until the USBC actually does something with rules concerning "house" shots (which I don't ever see happening) this type of thing is possible (however unlikely).  From the video, his form isn't bad for a kid, or a lot of adults for that matter.  If someone isn't being truthful, so be it.  I know of at least 2 people whom have recorded a "hole in one" where it did not happen, and all they get is the knowledge that they are cheaters (along with the 3 in the group).  With all of the abnormalities surrounding the "900", the USBC won't sanction the score, even if his dad has the best lawyers to do the arguing.
Think of the FREE marketing dollars generated by all of this for the house he shoots in.  It would be interesting to see the increase during this period.  I won't call the kid a liar.  But like many of you, I am waiting with great anticipation for him to shoot at least a back to back 300 in a sanctioned setting.  It would be even better if it was in a different house.
