Good video Bro. My League 3: 1Pin up Phase II with 1k abralon surface, 2) Pin down Phase II (box 3k cover w/ lane shine), 3) Pin up Venom Shock or Hazmat *Don't typically get to the 3rd*
My trio is optimum idol, TNT, and TNT infused. A month ago, I shot my high series of 710! (first sanctioned 700 series).
Congrats on the 700. I’m right on the verge of my first one. Keep hitting 680s
Absolute Power, Attention Star, Xponent, ZGL and Hyroad
League gag is Phaze II, Summit Peak, Xponent, IQ Tour Pearl.
I bowl in two different houses. One bag is DNA, Eternity Pi, Summit and the other bag is Eternity Pi, VEBO, The Road
Sheesh lot of oil at the first house lol
Love your content Lou. Glad to see your channel growing. I'm a Hammer guy so my perfect league arsenal doesn't include anything you throw but I do have a Solid, Hybrid and a Pearl.
Sometimes I will use 2 different solid balls and I can go back and forth with the hybrid and pearl.
Great video. Good info about when each ball would be needed.
BW 3.0, Sublime and Scorpion Low Flare. Love it.
For tonight, my 3 ball arsenal will be Black Widow 3.0, Phaze 2, Hustle M-M...and Pitch Black for my spares. I have been able to stay in the BW 3.0 for most of the night tge last couple of weeks.
Today is my last day of league for the season. I plan on getting in shape over the summer before the next season and getting some of the new balls that came out this year.
Do it!!
@@free2befree 10 pounds down soo far.
Thanks for your video today. I got the Xponent a while ago and haven't had good luck with it. I adjusted my thumb tape and moved it farther down. My thumb clears a lot better and I'm going to start with this one tomorrow in league as our lanes are usually pretty dry. Watching you and the Harsh Reality gave me a clue to give the Xpo another go...
Luis, loving the content lately man. Slight course change toward educational/overview stuff without disrupting your flow too much. Really helpful. Maybe it's just me, but when I see reviewers like you (also Luke, Darren and Mike, Forrest, etc.) throw strikes for days with every single ball you review it makes me think they all look equally awesome and like the next ball I need to buy lol, but the arsenal vids, as well as the new rating system, really help me understand how the different pieces work together, which helps me narrow down choices a ton! It's always info-taining, but the education factor goes up a lot for me with a slightly greater emphasis on arsenal building and comparative rating. Keep it coming, bad man.
As a Classic 1960's Style Full Roller Lou, my three ball arsenal is Straight, Straighter and Straightest. ☺
Great advise. Last week of leaque last week used the following (Harsh Reality) Game 1 score 177. When I saw it go high in the 10th frame I used Sublime for game 2 score 266 and when I saw that go way high in Game 3 I switched to Hustle Camo and scored 233. Everybody else was not doing so good. I just followed the ball motion and friction. Now I am going to Practice during the summer and go see my coach to prepare for next fall leaque. I picked up a Summit Peak the other day but have not thrown it yet. I am in the process of replacing my outdated arsenal.
Harsh Reality
Sublime
Summit Peak
Hustle Camo
Storm Plastic (yet to purchase) Will pick up next week because My 8 year old tzone is cracking around the thumb.
Good Stuff
I like to switch up my 3 ball arsenal!
DNA, zen soul pin down, hustle Camo or Zen Master, Zen, BW ghost.
2 handed lefty. All balls are OTB-No surface changes
B1:Harsh
B2:NU(Thank you BowlersMart and Luis)
B3:U78
I do bowl a 4 game series doubles so I do get quite a bit out of my B1 compared to most
Dang you're that guy urethane in league guy huh
My summer league starts next week. Hoping to get a 200 or above average this season! I scooped up a Hammer Effect and I have a Brunswick Ethos as well. The new ocean blue Storm Ice for spares as well in my bag
My first ball out of the bag is Summit. Then gold label or Iq ruby…depends
Gem, stealth pearl with the shine knocked off, sublime
my league arsenal:
1. Columbia 300 Power Torq
2. Radical Payback
3. Brunswick Cutting Edge Pearl
1&2 are used primarily and 3 only used for burnt up oil or extreme carry down. Pretty high volume THS for league and 42' length, so I stick to keeping my angles closed down and keeping it straighter to the pocket. Averaging around 205 and should be higher if my spare % was better.
My bag always has an idol Cosmos and iq (ruby or solid, depending on the mood) and I switch between an eternity, clone, and bw ghost. I'm a lefty, so I can usually stay in the same ball most nights, but having complementary shapes helps me adjust without trying to cross the lane.
If I am bowling at a house with less hook I switch to lane shined Gem, dull P2 or clone, dull idol Cosmos. Same idea, but with more strength. Frankly, I probably use the idol Cosmos most of the time on house shots to blend the wet dry that happens a lot on the left
I do the omega crux at 2000, roto grip tour dynam-x, and summit peak last game
So far a sanded plastic ball that was on a whim and ended up loving it and shooting some good scores 2 seasons ago for a whole season. The storm zero gravity which is a ball down from the infinite physix to me and that is the main 2 but I do use my hyroad x but when I need the ball more rounded but that is for this year in the jackpot classic but for league it was the 2 reactive balls then the ebi overseas magenta urethane hammer.
Out of my 6 ball arsenal. The HyRoad, HyRoad Pearl, Tropical Surge (spare and burnt lanes) would be my 3 ball arsenal on a league house shot. Will cover most every challenge. Have a Reality, Helios, UC3 to complete my bags…
BW 3.0, Hammer Effect drilled for maximum back-end and DNA Coil drilled for smooth continuous motion Bonus: Black Hammer Pearl for 10-pins
Super Nova or Infinite Physix then Fate. Hy-Road is next, but seldom get down there. Thanks Luis!
My league 3 ball arsenal is a jackal ghost, sublime, and black venom for the burn. Really wanna get that lightning blackout when it comes out
I’m a noob bowler but this season I have purchased three new balls. I usually start with my Black Widow 3.0, but if I have trouble with it, I switch to my Harsh Reality. My third ball is the Hyroad pearl.
My 3 ball arsenal is Eternity pi/ phase 2/ and attention star. I am left handed so there isn’t a lot of transition but my league is older people and for some reason plastic balls go down the lane ALOT from the left side.
My 3 / 4 ball league. Summit, Dynam-x, Xponent, M&M.. I love all 4 of these balls.
Back when I was speed dominant my arsenal was the most aggressive asym I can find, a pearl asym for when they break down, and a spare ball. From the 2015-2016 season until 2019-2020 this was Brunswick Evil Siege and Intense Storm. 2020 until 2022 it was Hammer Redemption solid and Ebonite Game Breaker Asym. 2022 to 2023 it was Brunswick Prism Hybrid and Game Breaker 4 Hybrid. Yeah the GB4 hybrid is symmetrical but still very aggressive, angular shape. Can stand left shoot right with it. Hybrid balls in general are just way better than anything else. Tons of layout and surface options no matter what the core is. If I'm able to throw it harder as a 2hander I'd go to both my hybrids in a heartbeat but they are WAY too aggressive. Hard to control.
On that note, controlling the breakpoint isn't an issue with speed dominant bowlers. Carving out a line as close to the gutter as you can is. No speed dominant bowler should have a target inside of the 8 board. Ever. If you are speed dominant (ball speed over 15mph and RPM under 300 at the breakpoint), "control" is never an issue. Getting through the carry down is. Cuz if your ball is skidding/laboring you'll be leaving light 2s, shaker 7s, buckets all the time. Feed your ball to the hold with your piddly 200ish RPMs and you'll get those every time. And NEVER move left off high 4s as a speed dominant bowler. Great way to washout right after. Instead just throw it a LITTLE harder. Or, if you know how to do it right, loft.
Now that I've switched to 2handed I need stuff I can control and feed the hold with. OR something I can feed to the right with that I can control well. The Brunswick Twist I bought from one of my buddies should do that. Still workin on overall arsenal because all the stuff I had before was super aggressive and you can't have that as a 2hander even if you're feeding into the hold. It's why they throw thane all over the place and I probably will too. If a ball is "rolling out" at 500RPM it'll carry...cuz the traction is still very powerful.
I just got into bowling a month or so ago, picked up a used phase II I'm the second drill with no thumb so there's 3 plugs, and I bought a brand new tzone as a spare ball. I'm 1 handed righty no thumb even on spares
Thats a great start to an arsenal though!
Hi Luis, hope you get to 40k and beyond!
Always enjoy your reviews. Love watching you in league this year plus the Thursday night with the two Chris’s was also enjoyable. This year you and Dan and especially Jordan are fun to watch. What is your thought on a phase 11 for low rev low speed 10.7 to 11.5 Curious. Will be watching you guys tonight hopefully
I really did enjoy this video. I'm getting a bit more serious about my league bowling and I really could use some more videos about ball selection. For my benchmark ball, I would easily choose my Motiv Forge Ember. I have shot my highest game to date with it (299) and for me, it is so predictable for game one while also giving me some versatility. Where I struggle is picking out the second and third ball. I have many other motiv balls (hydra, ripcord velocity, villain scorn, jackal legacy) but since I have changed my approach and release, these balls have lost a little bit of synergy with me. Would you recommend talking to my pro shop operator?
Love this video dude!
Ok, so with my collection i wanted some opinions on which 3 i should go with for league...1st game, 2nd game, etc.
BW Hybrid 2.0
Hammer ExtremeEnvy
Gem (pin down)
Magic Gem
Idol Pearl (blue)
3 balls my current league arsenal is built around…
-Harsh Reality
-Phaze ll
-Zen Gold Label
my 3 ball is denfender 2nd tropical surg peal but sanded it down to a 3000grite 3nd IQ tour ruby took it down to a 4000 grite
Phaze 2 pin down, iq tour solid pin up, hy road Pearl. Averaged 218 this year with 2 300s.
I use the rstx3, the exotic gem and the idol cosmos.
Magic Gem, Summit, Sublime
Good morning Luis can give me your advice on 3 pearls aresnal
Louis, question about your layout. Specifically, why do you go with such a low drill angle (30 degrees) instead of something in the more common 50-70 range? I thought total angle sums should be around 90 or so. Your gear rolls good for you, just trying to understand the reasoning. Thanks.
probably wants higher pin ups
i am trying to do this as well i only have 2 balls right now. i have Hy-road Pearl an Hustle USA. i am thinking about adding the PI or something c1 level above Hy road pearl
With my speed I can usually stay in 1 ball for all three game. If I have to pick 3 SuperNova/Reality, Duo/Optimum idol and phase 4
I only own 3, just one alley in Maui, lol. Start with Ebonite One Remix - solid Asym, Hyroad - hybrid symmetrical and Hustle RIP - solid symmetrical. Been wanting to add a Pearl since I sold my Fatal Venom. And a stronger solid for heavier pattern tournaments. If I got the VEBO, what should I take out?
Hi, I’ve been bowling for about 3-4 months with house balls. I bowl 1 handed no thumb. I was just gifted a used hustle M+m 15 pounds and brand new, phaze 2, and a summit peak both 14 pounds. Would these be a good 3 ball arsenal?
My league ars is proton, nuke cell and hyroad. If i was to build a new bag it would be harsh, attention Star and phase 2
My Harsh Reality is too strong for where I bowl at. My 3 balls are Absolute Power, IQ Tour, and The Road.
Like that combination
I did it sort of backwards as I started bowling again, but I have SuperNova, (similar to Harsh) The Ethos, and Raw Hammer for when it dries up. Is that an alright lineup?
Luis, how are you? Great video as always. How do you decide what balls to change for the matter of it for open play league since you were focusing on that in this video versus a tournament it seems like you change balls a lot. You can go into deeper detail why you change specific balls what I say for the most part you go with the newer technology, not always but most of the time newer means it’s better? On the contrary, does older mean it’s better? I think it all depends. when I saw the harsh reality and all your videos, it’s definitely better looking on the Lanes than same with the absolute absolute power. I may have watched you a little bit bit with the xponnet. that looked really similar almost in motion. I’m surprised you did not go with the phase II or you been liking recently, the Roto grip optimum idol. Or even my other favorite ball the IQ tour solid plus you don’t even have a pearl at this time. Feel free to get with me about this stuff because I need to learn more the better thank you take care God bless bless you and your family.
I've been using one ball that's probably my problem, Zen Soul that is probably why I haven't moved up in my average and have been stuck.. I have other balls I just don't understand yet when to use them? It's the hardest part for me. I'm not retaining the information for some reason. I have
Zen soul, outer limits hybrid, iq tour edition and hb intensity.
Just getting back in to bowling.
I have a GB5 as a benchmark ball.
Hammer Effect
Spare ball
What would be a good ball to compliment those in my arsenal?
How does the exponent compare to the Phase ll
My first ball is a Phaze II and my 3rd ball is a Hustle M&M. Looking for a good 2nd ball. What would you recommend?
My first is a Pin up (1k grit surface) Phase 2 followed by a Pin down (3k box surface w/ lane shine) Phase 2. Rarely have to go to a 3rd & rarely have to move much. An old timer turned me onto that with 2 Rhino Pros. May work for you. I LOVE my Phase 2s
@@samsjm11 interesting 🤔. Thanks
@@jeffnewman8261 No problem. If you give it try swing back & let me now if it works for you. Good rolling 👍
Honorable mention to the most important ball in any arsenal.......the spare ball
Usually the widow 3.0 and Attention Star get it done.
My 3 are eternity pi, phase 2, and IQ tour ruby. Rarely get into the ruby.
Can polished IQ Tour Edition replace the Blackout as third ball?
Dude doesn’t answer very much, he really should considering his throw doesn’t exactly attract viewers.
Game 1 and 2. Reality with a 3000 pad or RSTX1 2000 pad. Game 3. Phaze 2 3000 or RSTX2 1000 with polish
My go to balls is my purple hammer urethane, my storm IQ Ruby and my IQ solid
I typically go Sublime, Journey, Xponent. Xponent is unfortunately the weakest ball in my arsenal atm, do you think I should look into the new Hustle Xray or the Lightning Blackout?
My 3 ball league arsenal is as follows.
Track Heat
Hammer Raw pearl
Storm Pitch Black
If the condition has a little more volume, I have a second 3 ball arsenal that is as follows.
Hammer Dark Web or Hammer Obsession tour
Track Kinetic Black Ice
Purple Hammer
This season I averaged 220 game 1, 217 game 2, and 205 game 3...5 person teams. I've tried so many different things... and there's no specific formula. It really depends on who are all bowling... It's a fun process trying to solve though 😂
Idol Optimum, IQ Tour and Phase 2
Hit the sub button bowling nerds!
Care to do a 6 ball tournament arsenal
Hi Luis. In simplest explanation…How is your 4.5 pin Lighting Black out weaker compared to your 4inch pin. TIA. Huge Fan from Orange County 🤙 #ProteinUP Chipotle ‼️🥳
Hey Luis love the vids man! Quick question what does it mean when you say “2 and 1 move” ?
Should be a "2 [board move with feet] and 1 [board move with eyes]".
Is phaze 2, summit peak(pearl) and absolute(hybrid) a good arsenal?
Yea I think so!
1st ball motiv sub-zero 2nd motiv primal shock 3rd motiv nuclear forge
Nice set uo!
Can you explain your definition of 'slow hooking' a ball?
Yes! Its a ball that is very smooth or SLOW responding to friction
Attention Star, Tropical Storm and IQ Tour
Luis, there is no perfect 3 ball arsenal, even todays league conditions require more equipment[maybe I am just not that talented of bowler, lol] btw...I just switched to 14 lb. balls and I have believe it or not a 3 ball arsenal......but its lacking big holes for me, I will just have to learn to adjust more with the 3 balls I have, I guess......... think I am up to the challenge...am about to find out.......lol keep the videos coming....
archetype hybrid, motive pride dynasty [pin down] , Hustle M&M [love this ball]
I use nothing but pearls in league.
Ebonite Cyclone
Hammer Cherry Vibe
Storm Revenant
,y three are Absolute Power, TNT Infused and IQ Ruby
I wish i could have all your bad shots ! LOL
Sad note - Xponent is discontinued
Good morning Luis napoles
Black venom og venom hyper venom
I only use 2 bowling balls in my bowling league Village lanes superior Wisconsin I use the Brunswick igniter soild 14 pound bowling ball reative resin and my radical the spy plastic pound bowling ball my dad only use 1 bowling ball roto grip mvp pearl bowling ball reative resin bowling ball my dad does not use a spare bowling ball in my bowling league my dad is on my bowling league team too Thursday night Village lanes bowling alley superior Wisconsin Luis napoles
Its a breath of fresh air to see a bowler that throws a ball like a "normal" person...not 20 mph or 500 rpms!
99% of house bowlers cannot read ball motion good enough to start with a harsh reality.
Not where I’m from
Also something that strong isn't very useful on house shots
@@vinny702 really just depends on the bowler, there’s a lot of low rev bowlers who use stronger equipment on house shots, me included..
👋👋 I wish I could have someone with me for a 3 game practice and help me understand . I learn better that way. 🫣
Most house shots are high friction so there's no point in using a harsh reality.
