Smith Wins In Japan Throwing Back-up Balls?!
« on: July 07, 2005, 02:23:26 PM »
If I read correctly, Robert Smith won the JPBA Kirin Cup throwing back-up balls. Man you know the left side is easy when ever you see a pro throwing from it to win. I wonder what his rev rate is. My guess is maybe 500 something. Pretty crazy though. I'm sorry if I'm wrong about this, I may have read the article too fast.

Nope, I read the same thing.  He didn't throw a back up for the whole tournament, but for the final 8 games.  That's just sick.  At least he's honest and admits he's a freak.

LIke dan said, he threw it for the last 8 games because the right side was becoming unplayable.  Oh and BTW, it wasn't the japan cup, it was the Kirin cup (don't ask me, that's what CJ said).  

Rev rate....I'm guessing probably had 500 as a back up ball.  But normally he's over 600.

WOW, he's got too much skills.

BTW, that bit about Mika K defeating Paul Moor - Paul is one of the best players in England. Just so you know.
