Hmm....400 is a stretch. A friend of mine, a two hander, was clocked at 440 via Ebonite's BowlersMAP in the last session I had with him and he's throwing WAYYYY more ball than this kid. An old Kegel document I have lists Mike Devaney at 368 rpms(I'd say he's close around 400 now), Jason Couch at 405rpms, and Robert Smith at 450 rpms. Mushtare from that short clip looks between 290-320 and that's only by my eye(but I have conducted and help administer over 50 BowlersMAP analysis). I actually believe 900s can be shot with 3 or 4 good trips per set. My two hander friend has actually come very very close in the past few months, running off a 279 triplicate with 2 9s and a 10 pin, an 864 with 1 open the whole night(300, 266, 298), and spare-next 27. Seeing thousands of bowlers all over the country, not just in my area, I'm hardly impressed by Mustare. Not saying he's a bum because his game is more than condusive to yeilding alot of strikes on any house pattern(but then again, who's isn't?), but what I've seen out of about 5 or 6 shots on that little news clip does nothing for me to put him in some sort of golden figure as superhuman 900 machine Robert Mushtare.
