I wish i had that many revs! But really, revs dont mean anything if your not consistant with them.

Just goes to show you, not everyone who has a lot of "hand" Just likes to see the ball hook hook hook. This man has a great understanding of the game.

I bowling at Robert's home lanes during the '04-'05 season, and got a chance to bowl with him and also tALk "shop"; he's an AWESOME dude ... very down-to-earth and just a real nice guy !!! (He gave me a few tips too).

BTW, I beat him the first game that we bowled together with a 244 ... but he was just practicing, and I was in AWE !!!

You know, I have to wonder, if the story about him achieving the majestic 700rpm is true, how come they didn't have him at least try it in the clip?

I can't watch the clip at work, but I'm wondering if it has to do with his grip.  Is he still using the Sarge?  The 700 RPM was with a regular grip; the Sarge is aimed at reducing rev rate, so that might be it?

Before he had sarges he had about 560rpms. When he went sarge the revs only dropped to 540rpms.

He's using that grip in the clip; however, he changed back to a regular fingertip back in '05
