Love them! I’ve had a pair of the SST6 BOAS ever since they have been released.

When is it best to throw this on a house shot?

@@mattraugh8748 if you have enough volume I would use this on the fresh. Most of the house shots around me I can start with something this strong/early.

@joshshoemakerballreviews8616 so right now I'm 2-handed and typically start with the nova, how does this compare?

@@mattraugh8748 this will be earlier and stronger than the nova

The RIP is overall much newer technology but a much weaker ball. I think with your lower ball speed, the RIP should match up beautiful to your game on most standard house shots!

@@joshshoemakerballreviews8616 - Thanks for the reply & info. Much appreciated. Continued success with your reviews & career !

We have a pretty high friction house shot so it’s tough to move much further right than where I was. When I threw it on a sport shot over the weekend it allowed me to play a similar part of the lane as I would be able to with urethane. Super smooth and controllable.

@@joshshoemakerballreviews8616 very interesting ball, thanks for sharing your experience

You realize RUclips allows you to zoom, right? 😂

Most of the balls I was throwing a year ago have been swapped out with newer releases. The Altered reality for me is the perfect step down from my Proton when I need a little more shape downlane. The Spectre would be the 3-4th ball out of my bag when I need a ball to shape more at the end of a tournament block.

@@joshshoemakerballreviews8616 Thanks for responding. Since I have only three balls, not including my spare ball do you feel the Altered Reality, Spectre, UC3 in that order will suffice for a typical house shot? Or do I need something stronger before the Altered Reality? Or should I get a ball between the Altered Reality and Spectre?

@@johnmays6845 you could benefit from something like a nova or X1. The UC3 is also another good option for the fresh.

@@joshshoemakerballreviews8616 Thanks. THis is where I get confused and maybe I shouldn't pay much attention to it. The UC3 says for light - medium oil conditions. Most fresh house shots would be medium to heavy right? I always think of light - medium is when the shot is breaking down.

@@johnmays6845 the UC3 is more of a control piece and is great for blending out fresh patterns. I pay more attention to how the balls respond to friction and that determines when they’re in play for me.

Hey John! Altered reality, spectre, UC3 and a spare ball is a really solid arsenal to start. I might do a review of the UC3 in the future but I don’t have it planned currently. The next “urethane” ball that SPI releases will most likely feature the UC3 as a comparison ball.

Yeah the stronger cover really keeps it from overreacting in the friction

It has additional additives that reduce the friction created with the cover and the lane. This promotes more downlane motion compared to something like a pitch black. It’s a proprietary blend so I have no insight on that end.

@@joshshoemakerballreviews8616 Ok, thank you!

Yes. I have it a touch earlier and more overall.

45x5.5x35

@@joshshoemakerballreviews8616 see I went with 4x4x2

I wouldn’t say garbage at all. I just think it’s a little more condition specific compared to other Hyroads. I actually polished it up and shot 290 game one of league. I like how it rolls much better now!

I just polished it up so I’m going to give it one more go! If not, I’ll make a local youth player very happy lol

@@joshshoemakerballreviews8616 there ya go lol

All bowling balls start with a urethane base. Most balls (including this one) have additional additives which create a vast amount of shapes accomplished by friction created/oil absorption. The fever pitch, pitch purple, fast pitch and purple hammer all have these additives which allow them to absorb oil. This is why they all hook so much more downlane. Balls like the black hammer and pitch black are solid urethane. These balls do not absorb oil.

@@joshshoemakerballreviews8616 Oil absorption can be a contribution, but isn't necessarily always one. I have two particular resin balls where the one that is slower to absorb oil is more skid flippy. I also have a non-resin urethane from 1994 that is longer with more back end (shape wise) than pretty much any non-reactive ball I have seen rolling, purple hammer included. If it absorbed oil, I would have noticed it burning the heads up, but it doesn't.

@@joshshoemakerballreviews8616 Have you considered Motiv's Microcell polymer balls, which are not urethane based? The covert and desert tanks looked pretty nice.

@@coopergates9680 most urethane covers are extremely weak. They are so early and round due to the amount of surface that is applied to them. With the proper amount of head oil, you will notice none of the above mentioned balls slowing down much at all. Oil absorption is very important because you’re talking about the molecular bond the oil has with the cover stock as it rolls down the lane. The microcell balls are very similar to our SPEC covered balls.

@@joshshoemakerballreviews8616 Ok, maybe the effect is due to adsorption rather than absorption in some cases, where the cover chemistry attracts oil, but the coverstock is not permeable so the oil doesn't soak in.

Bowling ball review yes. If going for a 6 ball bag you would definitely benefit from something stronger (UFO or Omega Crux) and something to fit between the axiom pearl and pitch black (Hyroad pearl or IQ tour nano pearl).

CleSwag24 correct. I use much weaker layouts on my #16 hyroads to compensate for that!

Nate Henderson I would say it is slightly earlier and stronger overall compared to the super sonIQ

Dan Shrader i do not, sorry!

Alexander Worschech currently I have an Omega Crux and Gravity Evolve at the top of my bag
