He claims 199 – 25 year ABC average and a 210 Masters average for 264 games. He was elected to the ABC Hall of Fame in 1978.

Smith has ten PBA titles to his credit and has been elected a member of the PBA Hall of Fame.

His best series is an 847 and has six sanctioned 300 games to his credit.

Called “Tiger” by his bowling rivals because of his fierce competitive spirit, Smith joined the PBA staff in 1977 as assistant tournament director.
