- The Storm Marvel S is one of my favorite bowling balls I have EVER thrown and the only one I have ever shot multiple 300's with! So glad I got my hands on a NIB one!

Absolutely LOVED my Marvel S!! Had so many high sets with it!!
Ugh I wish we could bring it back!
4:45 "Hook!" and it hooked hard! This ball is truly a Marvel and the layout is perfect for it. Great video.
agreed! I think this layout will go into my rotation!
I just had my best game this last summer league (241) with a Zen Soul drilled pin down. I’m just now getting back into bowling after a 10 year break.
Welcome back!
Thanks for the steady stream of content Luis! Would love to see pictures of the core and specs of the ball as you go over them.
Thanks for that! Yea I will do that going forward!
lmao I loved the video and loved the ending!! One of these days you'll hit the camera with the tape. :)
Eventually!
@@LuisNapoles Oh Luis I meant to tell you, I finally got my hustle USA and I love it! Drilled 5x4x3 2LS and it is a smackeroni, an absolute rack avalanche. Great review on it and comparisons.
Congratulations on the views! Awesome video.
Thank you very much!
The Mustache we have Pablo Escobar now lol like it man!!!
Pablo Escobar the bowler! haha
That Super Nova looks like it's working real nice for you!!! I was contemplating it but for some reason A/Sym balls and I don't get along too well. I ended up grabbing the Roto Grip iDol Cosmos and it's a BEASTTTT
I agree that the Marvel S is one of my all-time faves and is tied for favorite scent(the spearmint on this one and the pear on the Virtual Energy). I think I may have an honor score with the Marvel S as well
yum! LOL
i had 2 of those,, loved that ball and its spearmint scent :) aved almost 220 with it in 2018 one of the most consistent balls i ever threw
It was so good!
I do drill balls pin down. I often struggle with early hook and not enough downlane motion. Pin down layouts help me get the ball down the lane and actually store energy, instead of burning up.
Thats exactly it!
I personally love the Marvel S, super strong and heavy rolling ball. My personal favorite symmetrical bowling ball that I HAVE drilled pin down is the Helios. That thing POUNDS the pocket pin down and is one of the most rounded shapes ive ever thrown in my arsenal. LOVE symmetrical balls!
Bring back the marvel series!!!
Yes yes yes Lou great video. The closes you can get to that ball these days is a Super Sonic with 1500-2000 grit finish. I have 2 Marvel S and 2 Super Soniqs.
But even that one is long discontinued unfortunately
Absolutely love the content! You do a GREAT job of self analysis. On the fresh house shot, you were playing so far to the left! My God! And I think that's part of the problem with all these high performance balls. They just suck up the oil and destroy the pattern. 2 weeks ago in league, I had to put away my Hy-Road Pearl after 8 frames in game 1 (8 to a pair). Started over hooking and once I started chasing it in, I started leaving half pocket hits. Went from what should have been at minimum a 230 game to a 208. Fill ball in the 10th, I took out my Columbia Freeze and finished off the night using a ball that was drilled 10 yrs ago. Got super pissed at the owner and said maybe put a heavier volume out there cause you keep drilling Gems, and other high end balls that just suck up the oil in no time. He chirped back and then I said, order me a Brunswick Twist and out of the box the following week, I go 235, 248, 223. I like to play down and in and let the lane do the work for me. In my twenties I avg'd 220+. I'm 42 now and more around 210. I stand at 15 and play 8. Would love to hear your thoughts on all the high end stuff destroying the oil. Thanks!
I don’t really think they are destroying the pattern. I think bowling is a game of adjustments. I do think that the higher end stuff is just way to strong for house shots of today
awesome vid. only two balls l have had multiple 300s and 800s with are the OG Rotogrip Wrecker drilled label leverage and the Brunswick LT48 Vintage rerelease. I never owned the marvel S because l never really matched up with Storm, only 2 that l did was the Virtual Energy and Tropical Breeze. for burnt out conditions...
I heard that Wrecker was NUTS!
@@LuisNapoles it was a great ball. I bought prerelease when I saw the cover and core. You could throw any condition it was so controllable and predictable. And it hit like a rotogrip. Unfortunately. 2 yrs ago I was on a 10 strike game. Tossed the 11 and ball sounded funny when it hit. Came back cover was cracked all the way around. They need to rerelease that ball as it was og made
I loved my Marvel S! Delivered a pile of honor scores for me (multiple 800 series). Someone gave me a used one last year and not the same magic but still solid.
A friend of mine texted me today and told me that the Marvel S was a Phaze 2 before then Phaze 2 was a Phaze 2 LOL
Luis, I have the overseas Marvel Maxx Elite, and LOVE IT. Maybe you could throw it in a video asking for Storm to bring back the Marvel line?! I’ve asked Chad McLean multiple times for us to get a stateside release of the Marvel Maxx Black, to no avail lol.
I WISH!!!!
@Luis ...you're awesome...congrats on 5MM views bud!
Thanks so much for that!
Pin down layouts reduce flare and are great when straighter angles are needed. I typically use this layout with high differential cores, but if you track close to the fingers or thumb you should probably avoid this layout. Marvel S is one of my all time favorites, the Axiom Solid seemed pretty close in terms of shape.
I can't wait for our next big symmetrical solid!
I’ve had a marvel solid and a marvel pearl, the R2s one, not the R2x remake, both balls have been in my bag for a couple of years, I loved the pearl the most, it took a long time before I had found a good replacement for that ball. Marvel series where great!
Marvel Pearl was cash money!
5 mil with only 17k subs? Y'all need to hit that button
FACTS!!!!!!! Hit that sub button y'all!!!
Thank you for doing this ball I wanted you too !!!!
You’re welcome!
This was one of my favs till it crack a pin down marvel s was sick. I love the down lane motion and hit like a tank
I see allllll that!
I've never had a ball drilled pin down but I just had my Pro Shop Rep get my PAP for my Hustle USA I just drilled on your recommendation. First words when he saw they way I throw was wow your ball rolls very early, so maybe Pin Down is something that will help me puch it down lane more. Something to consider.
Good stuff! Def something to consider!
I have never thrown this ball but is is famous and I've seen great things from it. This is going to be great
One of the great ones!
Every time I've asked my proshop operator about pin down they laugh and say "you don't want that" and "that's just bad".
If they aren’t telling you why or anything like that and just saying you don’t want that and it’s just bad, then you definitely need a different pro shop operator. Bowling balls are tools and how we lay them out will fine tune the reaction. Definitely find you a new PSO the one you have now sounds very inexperienced
I never had the opportunity to bowl with the Marvel S. My favorite ball is the Storm Zero Gravity and the Hammer Black Widow Assassin. I’ve never thrown 300 with either ball, but I have endless 770 plus series with both
I LOVED the marvel s RIP 🪦
Storm needs to bring back the Marvel Pearl and Marvel S. Also the Marvel S on League Night?! Bro..........
FACTS!!!!!!
Maybe drill an idol with this layout and show us the difference? Might help some of us see what exactly your talking about and give us some ideas for our own game
Yea going forward im gonna drill more pin down balls like this!
I still have a Marvel S and still love it!!
such a good ball!
That ball looked super quick to me. Even quicker than a P2.
You'll see a comparison coming soon!
I think the marvelS is earlier than P2. I have them being equally as sharp. The P2 just does it later
Luis,. My favorite b have been Marvel S, Virtual Gravity Nano, SNAP lock and illegal pha4e. I find that taking them all down to 4000 sinair, just like new.
P4 isn’t illegal lol
Nice . A old faithful paired with IQ tour solid and phaze 2 along with a hustle camo or usa and you good just add a plastic ball
Facts!
I had 2 one of my favorite symmetrical solids for sure
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
This 80’s mustache trend should have stayed deceased. Jk, but not really… Loved that ball.
I'm with you on the mustache 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
People love tap;king about the stash LOL
Pin under on asyms are money my guy. They don't lose their energy too early when they are pin under. Pin under syms didn't look that good for me because I still have to be left with my rev rate, however, with less diff, they didn't want to come off of the spot the right way.
yea I wanna drill more stuff pin down for sure!
Take care of it and make it last for years. My dad has the original marvel and original marvel s
I will def def try!
How did you like the Marvel Pearl? I have an undrilled 15lb Marvel Pearl collecting dust
That was a Zen before the Zen! I loved that ball! I would love to buy it or trade it if you're willing! Send me a message on Facebook or instagram and lets make a deal!
Marvel S 815/290. Summer of 2018 SANCTIONED. Nothing else to say aside from I miss mine. Lol.
God its so good lol I can only imagine what it would do with a two hander HIGH rev rate lefty that actually likes to shape it like you LOL
@@LuisNapoles I actually threw it straight up 9 for the 815. The layout was a 45 X 4 X 40 for me and there was so much shim to the right that trying to play the track was almost impossible on the fresh at the time. The house shot was a 43 footer with really high volume from 9-9. I sent you a video of when I first got it on IG from my team/bowling crew page.
I would love to see a nex cover with the velocity core as storms next sym solid, even though we are getting the phaze 5.....Final Phaze??????????
oh man that would be AMAZING!
I find it interesting that you also like the Phaze 2 so much. The Marvel S I was still using until about a year ago, what I loved was that it hooked gradually until it reached the end of the pattern, but still had gas to finish strongly. I feel I could still be using it. The only other ball that I loved from back then was my Storm VG Nano, both balls I still have. I’m wondering how you were able to get a brand new Marvel S? I’m not real knowledgeable about layouts, but I am told my Marvel S is actually pin down, with the pin pretty close to even with the finger holes, kicked over about an inch to the right. I currently am using a Brunswick Quantum EVO solid, which to me has a similar look to the Marvel S, but a little more subdued. I have to share: Thursday evening I went 267, 289, 257 - 813 with the EVO. This is my second 800. I am 65 years old. Have you done any videos about any of the EVO’s? I’m getting a slightly used EVO hybrid, next week.
I haven’t no
I have not drilled any pin down balls as I don't know if that's a good idea for slow 13.5 speed bowlers. But I have wondered if I should have drilled some of my too snappy and early hooking balls this way. Hating my Helios too, it hooks way too early and I can only stay in it about 3 frames after practice.
Pin down with lower ball speeds is a good idea if you want your ball to not hook as early
@@LuisNapoles thank you.
I was told by SPI a when I asked what core was in the 12&13 lb storm balls and they replied the Centripetal core. I looked up and found it was in the Marvel line.
nice!
You need to throw this ball between now and the regional, so you know how it responds to speed, hand position, and lane changes/moves.
Check the league stream from tight I threw it a lot
Jim.... I love mine. I think it's drilled 45x4.5x 45. That should give you pin above bridge, CG a little right of center and Mass bias just right of the thumb hole. Kind of a stacked drill. I rip up THS and lower volume PBA. Keep it at 4k for league, take it to 2000 for regional PBA50. Luis. Cedric says Hi
Now that you live in a world where there's a Phaze 2 and a Marvel S, what's different? The specs are very similar. I've had a Nano ball before, but off the top of my head I'm not sure of the differences between covers
I would imagine that the Marvel S will be stronger earlier and more forward where the P2 will be cleaner and be more continuous off the spot
First time catching a premier
Welcome!
Hey Luis your 30×4×70 on your marvel s is like the one I had from my dad after he shot 300 with it. Switch it to left handed so the pin is down under the ring finger for a Lefty but have it out to the left. and have at 2000 trucut and a 2000 trucut IQ tour solid with the same layout on your marvel s and they were the BEST one two punch start with marvel s then when I need to stay in the same spot while have it go longer I went to the IQ tour solid. And my hyroad x is pin down under my middle finger and my current IQ tour solid is pin above the bridge just more length and weaker then my pin down is tour solid that cracked all the way around in 2018 season
ugh! I hate when balls crack!
I always have my balls drilled pin down because here in the uk I am classed as a full roller(tracks between my finger and thumb holes over the full circumference of the ball) with a low rev rate, I don’t know what you would class me as in the United States.
that would still be full roller here as well!
@@LuisNapoles I wasn’t sure if I was classed as a stroker , as you don’t see many ball reviewers that call themselves full roller’s on RUclips especially from the United States
Looking for a replacement for the Dark Code, I am not fond of how it rolls through the fronts and into the backend. What would you recommend?
Literally anything 😂😂😂 Naw stuff like the Infinite Physix or even the RST X3
i have never drilled a ball pin down i do not want it screw w/my ball motion i am used 2 seeing,do you have any advice on moving forward in trying pin down?
Yea lol drill the pin below the fingers lol bowling balls are tools and we need different shapes to succeed!
Which Marvel character do you transform into while using this ball? Super Bowler?
Hmmmmmm I think Thor!
Tempo looking better I can tell
Work in progress but progress is progress!!!
Cool video talk tech bowling
Thanks!
@@LuisNapoles yeah
Cmon, you know the Zen Master is one of your favorite Symmetrical Solids!
😂😂😂😂😂
See if you can find a virtual gravity nano pearl that ball is a beast
I wish!!
You got a little NBC action going on with this ball
what's NBC?
How is this ball compared to the phase 2?
I would say the Marvel S Will be earlier stronger and more forward when compared to the Phaze 2
10 pin ball. Hated that ball 😂
oooooof LO L
I like pin up drilling because i'm a low rev bowler
nice!
I still have my Marvel S
soooo good!
haha i joined a pba trios league and im the only bowler xD. whatever, Dragon kicked my ass yesterday i averaged like 160 with a 210 high game O_O (30 games after league for practice, league games were lik 166 165 156). my wrist hurt but it was the best practice yet! P2 definitely GOAT ball though lol.
Luke talks about marvel pearl all the time. stick to what you know though! but pin down sym solid seems interesting.
and funny thing, where you play on bear is where i play on dragon. SUPER useful information
and yes. pin down ftw :) gonna have to try it on my NightRoad for different reasons though
At the end of the league you'll find yourself a MUCH better bowler for it!
Nice. Btw what's your average speed?
Thanks! About 15 ish
