    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!

    • @LuisNapoles
      @LuisNapoles  2 года назад +1

      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

    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 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 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.

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
