For some reason, you reminded me of Jesse from Magnificent "Gem"stones in this video: "Seee yah!", "Get that outta your mouth...what are you doin? That's gross, you're drooling in my thumb...that's weird."
JR how would you compare the Gem in comparison to another video review you did on the DV8 Collision. I get one chance to purchase a new ball and would value your opinion. I am a lower speed bowler with decent rev rate and am looking for a first ball out of bag. I’m asking you this because I won the Collision yet I can trade for the Gem. I just want and value your opinion TY
Hey JR I’m looking to get into doing ball reviews. I love your style of ball reviews and wanted to incorporate elements of your reviews into mine. What kind of equipment would you recommend starting out? Camera/mic setup specifically. Thanks and keep up the great reviews!!
I wish i could find a bowling coach near me. I live in , Elizabethtown, KY and dont know where to even look for coaches? I also want some beginner level bowling ball buying advice.
I can help you out with suggestions. I moonlight in a pro shop in the Phoenix area. Might not be able to give coaching advice but can help you with ball selection.
Do you remember the original defiant? Since this has the same core. The og defiant really loved when you slowed it down and give the ball time to read the lane and shape up.. it also would keep continuing through the pins it loved oil and loved when you came around the ball. The gem reminds me of that but cleaner in the front and little sharper in the backend compared to the og defiant man i miss the defiant. Be nice if they came out with a core half defiant and half critical theory lol that would be insane-!!!!
@@cardinalcopium5088 I have a Proton and will have to disagree. My Proton was strong at first, but then became weak with more games. I tried surface on it but it’s still weak. My Altered Reality is stronger than my Proton. I will give the Gem some time before I would consider buying one.
It puts just a little bit of moisture from your breath into the thumbhole. Not so much that it gets wet and slips out...but some people have trouble holding onto the ball if it's completely dry especially if they use a rosin bag a lot.
The strongest ball ever is going to still be the AMB Particle from Visionary. That ball was stupid and laughable when I tried to throw it out of the box. I had to take it all the way to 4000 and polish for me to be able to use it.
You got that right.! I still throw the amb solid quite often because it hits like a train . Actually I finally just bought a used amb partical off ebay. Can't wait for the plugs to be done so I can try it out.
I don’t mind the burnt up conditions for the balls people are gonna play on those conditions but literally no one is going to throw this on the burn. I’d like to see you just throw the ball on the condition it’s kinda intended for
Dammit JR, now I gotta go buy another ball
😂
How does it compare to the Nova? I throw the Nova now, but have the Gem pre-ordered.
Luis Napoles did a comparison the other day between the Gem and the Nova.
How would this compare to the jackal ambush?
that's what I want to know..
Hello. I throw suitcase style. Without seeing me bowl, what ball would work best for me? Thank you
Looking for something to replace my proton how do you think this compares?
Jr I just bought this looks like a great ball I also have the proton physics which I love
how does the gem compare to the jacal ambush?

Great advice ball, have you class on line,
Let me know, thanks👍🏻👍🏻

What was your most comfortable lineup with this ball? Foot and eye?
hi JR, what is the weight of the ball you are using?
Always love your ball reviews! This one looks like a beast, how does it compare to the Helios?
Helios is more sexual
I just ordered radical maximum results how does that compare
i would be interested in seeing what the ball does when it has some lane shine.

Still throw my halo one of my favs of all time
Halo pearl and vision
Both 60×5.5×80
I get I’m replacing my altered reality with this Gem
JR,I HAVE THE NO RULES FROM ROTO GRIP AND IT WAS A NO SHOW IN LAS VEGAS AT GOLD COAST FOR OUR SWEEPS THIS WEEKEND. ????????
You sound effects are funny but that ball is 🔥
Cool video talk to tech bowling ball Jr Raymond
Hey JR, how much did that GEM weigh?
IIRC he always throws 15#
You should try the RST X 2 Squad
What if you change the surface to 1,000 and then hit it with either Finish Compound or Polish? Left hander that likes his Altered Reality.

I had all the defiant. I miss them. When I heard about this ball I may or may not have gotten a little too happy
Please test against the Paragon.
Do you think it might be stronger than the Proton?
I threw both on an oily league shot last night and the Proton was stronger.

@@michaelfinley9988 I compared box condition to box condition.
@@michaelfinley9988 Did you bake oil out of the proton yet? It might tame down upon absorbing oil unlike a crux prime.
I really can’t wait until I learn bowing language
Why in the low end of the house vs where you’ve been doing the reviews?
wonder if the ball review for black widow ever come out
Bar open?
just bought this ball yesterday cant wait to use it
So 2 months out, how do like the Gem? What do you think about it?
@@jackburton4892 ive used it a couple times been too busy to use it…. i like it alot
After having this a few weeks and 30 plus games on it. I am definately not impressed. I have several ball way stronger.
Definitely rolled well all over the lane
Still like the zen master video
I’m new to bowling so I’m not being rude why do i see bowlers blow in there balls. I’ve seen a few guys do this.

You must be new here…..
@@Tenpindoctors nope watched every video you’ve made for probably 2 years on both channels. Huge fan.
Roto Grip Gem Ask do it what ( Serial número ) ??
Do it. _____ X ______X ____?? Número Serial?
First
It isn't better than the Paragon. Not by a longshot in my view.
Have you played both back-to-back? Both ball are on my short list for a new tank (along with the Proton Physix).
A whole lot of cuts in this video.
