900!! AGAIN!!
« on: December 26, 2005, 06:26:31 AM »
Robert mushtare is claiming to have shot another 900 in league on the bowl.com message board!?!?!

I think it is the biggest load of c**p that has ever hit the sport. it is said that he averages 250+ but no one else in the center averages 210.

I think this is nonsense, also no word on the sanction from the usbc.  Is this the biggest hoax ever??!

I agree... the boy's game was nothing to write home about.  I was rolling my eyes when he stated that he stuck in the thumb for # 36 and still struck.  Figures he was on a RAY CHARLES CLASSIC shot.  Mind you I have seen area and tossed the first 21 this season and I have a lefty on my team that can XXX with the best .. but 4-900's in a month span??  

Sounds fishy.....

Yes,if he DID do it then my hat is certainly off to him and he has done something that all of us dream of doing. I hope that it is proved out to be true.I really do.
 I'm simply pointing out that there are rules about what he did. Reading about the Steve Cook league humbles me. I'd love to be in a house with a shot like that so that I could learn to throw the ball really well. But, I'm also not complaining about the house that I do bowl in. Yes, the shot is there and pretty much the same every week now,but I also agree that you do have to be able to execute a good shot. Sometimes you get rewarded and score well,but I've also had those weeks when being off just that same amount left you spares and splits,not strikes.

The guy in our league is super fast super high revs...built like Tim Mack and lots of economy of motion.  He does not do as well on slick but he has built his game on our shot.

An even better more versatile bowler in the area was until recently listed by the ABC as the second most 300s in his bowling carreer.  I saw him shoot 868.
At a house with about 3 or 4 a year.

At another center with an easier shot I bowled with him and with a couple of missed 10 pins he shot 760 ...258.  I felt he should have gotten results of 879..300.  Only one shot was even slightly off.

I think this kid has just the right mentality(doesn't overthink) and a very powerful (good loft game) and a very powerful physique.

There was a guy named Billy Dunk in Australia.  All over Australia he broke course records...very often he wouldn't win the tourney.  He'd go like 73...62..71..70.  He was not greater than Jack Nicklaus but Niclaus would travel over there a bit and could never break the course records that Billy Dunk could.

One thing most of you are right about....most of you could never shoot 900...you'd probably get in your own way....calculating quadratic equations regarding the probabliliy of you doing it after about the 15th ball.

As a guy who probably isn't as good as most of you....I'll tell you I have had 24 out of 26 twice while in competition(once for HUGE money)..unfortunately 7 to 9 were in warmups.

I thought everyone of the 26 should have struck....again I am not as good as many of the big guns on this site....the difference I think I CAN!

Everyday NO...but when right...I'm a gonna get out of my own way!

REgards,

PS Jon Brandon on this site went into the 9th frame of the 3rd game going for 900 this year(BigBully).  It can BE done!
If I had the power of this guy Robert M I think I would have a few myself!

Ok, if this kid shot 4 900s, shouldn't he average 250+ ?

Think about this for a second people...a 900 is 36 consecutive shots in a row that carry. I'm not talking about hitting the pocket every ball, I'm saying carry. There is no way in all hell do I believe that this kid could carry 36 consecutive shots FOUR times, none the less in basically a 2 month span. Lucky, enough with the crap about golf analogies, FOUR times, THIRTY SIX straight shots carrying. I don't care if he thinks or not, no one has that much luck/skill, even on the wall of china x2 I don't see him CARRYING that many shots built as well as he is or not, I'm just sorry, I don't buy it. The first one I could believe and it was quite a feat. When I heard he had one in practice that was fishy. Now 4? Come on, be realistic. Wouldn't we have heard of him before at least?

You know it sounds fishy all around.  But I just watched his interview and both my better half and myself have decided that he seems really really mellow for a kid supposedly shooting a 900.  I think honestly he is lying and and I think as well that all these others are hoax's.  I do pose this one question.  When you get on bowl.com why doesnt any of his league stats or even any of his previous acclades appear there.  My guess he is a hoax and thought it would be funny to get noticed this way.  

BAN HIM IF THIS IS SERIOUS.  If not then I apologize but right now I think he is fake and will always be fake.

We need a mathematician to figure out the probability that the same person could throw 4 perfect series in the span of 45 days.

Perhaps I'l pose this question to the calculus teacher where I work to see what she comes up with.

Guys, you guys now is arguing whether 4 900s in a short time is possible or probable.  I don't think its fair to knock this guy down at this moment since only the poster starting this "news/rumor" yet to verify.  Maybe is some joke you never know.  

Maybe next week someone will start a thread saying he saw a kid shot back to back 1200s

Yes,,, I believe two are in league...two were in practice.

I've seen the video...I believe he has the ability to do it!
On a very sweet condition.

I believe from listening to him that he is the perfect guy to do it!
Not a rocket scientist just straight forward powerful guy.  No second thoughts and once he did it!

Just had a guy in our league shoot 770.  He throws it great but puts it on the lane too quick.....what is that,  5 10 pins?

I like the way this kid throws better.  A really high scoring game lots of hand speed and loft from a very powerful lookin kid.

In Baseball there was Babe Ruth at 60 and no one could past it.  In running the 4 minute mile and no one could get past it!  After he did it many surpassed it in weeks.  In weightlifting for the clean and jerk 500 pounds no one could past it...once one guy did it many did in the next few months.....in broad jump there was 27 -10....then one night in Mexico City a man goes 29 feet 2 inches and no one could believe it...then it took 25 years for someone to believe!
and surpass.

REgards,

Luckylefty
Instead of complaining about this kid...maybe it's time we all get out of our way and tried to shoot one ourselves....didn't Norm Duke shoot 1200 over two squads(4 games) on the tour once?

Luckylefty,
 I believe he did---Norm Duke that is. But you're talking about a pro of such good caliber that I can see that happening. And there would have to be one of the pros at one time or another that has shot back to back 300 games during their week of qualifying.
 But look at what you said---Didn't Norm Duke do it once?????---ONCE.
 For this young man to have done it 4 TIMES in 60 days is just statistically almost impossible.
 Lucky, I'm not insulting you or arguing with you on this point. I'm just respectfully pointing out that this is a little hard to swallow is all that I'm saying.
 Even on bowl.com, or maybe it was the Tour site, I saw an odds calculation that a man bowls a 300 game once every 3,000 games. So,he's bowled 36,000 games worth of perfection in two months.
 Whatever he's on, I want some------------lol.
