    I like this content and I like the lane tracking. I think it’s funny when a bowler like Barnes misses one out of twelve and says he doesn’t like the ball or it’s not for him. I think the TNT looked good there.

    I tried this ball (drilled neutral, I am lefty) at a local Storm demo day rolling 5 strikes in a row. I don't buy into so many of the reviews over-analyzing the ball, the surface and the lane. With everything, there are always variables to take into consideration and one must also be able to adapt, adjust and correct.

      100% Idol line was the absolute best, especially Idol Pearl. Out the box when it first came out I went 267,279,300 and immediately bought 6 more to drill a new one every year. Currently have around 12 300’s just with the Idol Pearl and 5 800’s. Right now bag is The Fate, Idol Pearl, Eternity, Zen, Blue Wolverine and Phaze 2.

    The thing with this ball is the same issue I had with the hyroad max, the strong cover means the ball dumps all its energy trying not to hook immediately off the friction so it ends up hitting like a marshmallow

    • @TrueHouseBowler

  • @Mulelicious

    You were bowling exactly the way that ball works. It works great for me. Not a ball for high rev high speed. Lane shine changes it quickly. It's excellent for the house oil spill pattern, I love it. Edit: Gave up using TNT after good first results. Seems like the surface wears out. Ball has so many scars on it. My other balls don't

    • @TheOtherCaleb

      Out of the box it had too much surface for me on a house pattern. Once I got into some oil it looked better but on some wet/dry patterns around 3000 looks best with this particular layout. Thanks for watching!

    I doubt this ball was developed with the house shot bowler in mind. (Low rg, medium dif). However, I was at the US Open and was watching a 2H bowler throw this ball and he had great control of the pocket. Smooth predicable roll.

    As a youtuber myself I appreciate this content man. Damn good. I just bought this ball yesterday and used it in league last night and practice today. I’m a hybrid new and not new bowler. My sister toured like 2nd tier WPBA and we grew up in the bowling alley with the Prather family and other great bowlers in Pensacola. I haven’t played league since I was 8 years old until the last 6 months. I avg about 175 and just now in this second season I’m getting into it, so I bought this ball.
    I’m kinda hating it. Same problems Darren Tang and others are having, I’m also having. I feel like I have to be perfect or I’m either Brooklyn or punching through or I send it out and it never comes back. Guy next to me this morning was practicing with his and said the same. He took it all the way to a 6000 so he could get it down the lane. Pro shop guy, who is one of Hawaii’s best bowlers, said that no one likes it out of the box. I am no exception.
    I’m going to take it to 3000 and see how I like it, but as he said in the vid, I think this a specific and unforgiving ball for certain conditions and not even 3 full games, but idk much.
    Last thoughts:
    - this ball has made me learn a bunch of technical terms and get the lingo down just trying to figure it out, so that’s good I guess haha
    - Lastly, I should’ve gotten (and if you’re reading this and newer, you should get) a Phaze 2 instead 🤙🏽

    Lot of the complaints of the ball have been the surface out of the box for some reason isnt absorbing oil how it should. Lotta folks resurface it and it looks 10 times better.
    Something wonky has been happening with SPI out of box surfaces lately dull and polished.

    • @TrueHouseBowler
      @TrueHouseBowler  Год назад

      100% I think the surface out of the box is way too strong for the core and it just doesn’t match up well. Same thing happened to me on the Eternity video I just filmed. It actually came with reacta gloss and needed some surface to look better. Crazy. Thanks for watching!

  • @jah9253

    Maybe it works better on house lane conditions and not as good on sport patterns?

    • @TrueHouseBowler
      @TrueHouseBowler  Год назад +1

      I actually found it better on flat patterns as it matched up better for me with surface on it. It was too over/under on our house shot. But our house pattern is extremely wet/dry. I’m going to try to throw it again in league with about 3000 and see how I looks then. Thanks for watching!

  • @BowlingDad
    @BowlingDad Год назад +1

    I disagree with the bad reviews. Out of the box, yes it’s very early but once you get it up to 2000 / polish or 4000 it’s much more controllable and has some shape for heavier volumed patterns.

      Yeah I think this ball will match up with most bowlers if they can find the right surface for them. I think the people that it don’t look good for, need to have some shine to it since out of the box it’s at 2000. Thanks for watching!

    Different strokes for different folks. Some balls suit the style of certain people and not the style of others. Some balls are versatile to where they fit many different styles and some are niche. I don't necessary think a ball is bad or the worst ball ever. It's just a niche ball which quite frankly most balls are unless you talk about things like the Venom Shock, Phaze 2, etc...

      It definitely didn’t look good to me with the out of the box finish on a house pattern. On flatter patterns it seems to look better. I’m going to try 3000 on it and try it again in league. I think out of the box surface is just too much for house conditions. Thanks for watching!

      Thank you for your question. It’s called StrikeSeeker. It actually shows a front view, back view, and the ball going through the pins but I trim all that out on the videos just to show the lane and line. So according to Kegel when I went to their camp they said it was 450ish on Specto. But I’ve calculated it with high speed camera and I think I’m around 400-430 depending on how I’m playing the lane.

    @TheClovvn Год назад

    Talking about getting left on house isn't correct, it all depends. All houses friction is different. I bowl at some houses where its extremely high friction, others soup. Also rev rate/ball speed, example 2 handed bowler you won't find on house shots playing right unless they're using urethane for house, which not many do. Also, the amount of games you bowl. Some are 3 games, some 4, and so on. You also have to factor in the equipment and rev rate and number of people you're bowling with. So pretty inaccurate statement.

    • @TrueHouseBowler
      @TrueHouseBowler  Год назад

  • @aleffel9668

    They wouldn’t have released it if it wasn’t any good. No ball matches up with every bowler. And from what I’ve seen if the surface is changed it looks better for those who had initial struggles with it.

    • @TrueHouseBowler
      @TrueHouseBowler  Год назад

      I wouldn’t say they wouldn’t have released because they have had some duds over the last few years that were hated by 99% like the hyroad max, hyroad-x, timeless etc. Not every ball will be great like the Phaze II.
