Out of all the channels, I trust this channel the most when it comes to equipment reviews. You tell it how it is and don't hold punches and not being a schill for bowling companies.
Ahhh I bought this bad boy as soon as it was released. I’m a low axis tilt (7/8 degrees) and speed dominant at an avg of 18-19mph. So you are spot on in your assessment! This is my game 2/3 ball for sure! 🙌🏾
@@bowlersparadise2255I also enjoy hearing your recommendations as well and i enjoy the cross brand comparisons. It would be a big help (for me and I’m sure others) if you did a video showcasing what balls work for specific styles. For example, I’m in my 70’s and while I don’t bowl like I used to I still average 200 but my ball speed is slow (13mph on back camera) compared to my rev rate (320) and I have very high axis tilt (40). I’ll watch your video and at the end you’ll say this ball is good for high speed low rev bowlers and I’ll go oh that’s why it didn’t work for me 🤦🏼♂️Having a video showcasing balls for rev dominant, low speed, high tilt bowlers would be great. You could do all variations high speed, low revs low tilt etc… I’m sure this would help many bowlers. Thanks and keep producing the great videos.
This ball is awesome. Track may have the best lineup in bowling now. I just got 5 Track balls and they are all awesome. The Stealth works on almost every. Awesome ball. The original Stealth is the over 45’ pattern GOAT. A must for nationals. 😊
I put this in the bag the day it came out. Its pretty clean and very continuous off the spot. Agree with your take, and it seems very effective on THS from the same spots you were drilling the pocket in this vid. Great stuff!
@@bowlersparadise2255 follow up a few weeks later. Is it me, or does this have a similar shape to the Ion Pro? If I'm putting in some practice, I can find the line and this carries everything. But in league I find I ball down farther to a pearl from my game 1 ball, skipping this entirely, because it wants me to open up my angles to the point where the Effect or Stealth Pearl looks better. Thoughts?
Ben, always find myself coming to your channel for the best, unbiased reviews! I’m torn between this one and the Optimum Idol Pearl for this clean, strong, continuous spot in my bag. How would you compare the two?
Does this count as a "blue" ball or is this black?? I really like the motion of my stealth pearl but rarely see the conditions to get to use it. I'm picking up the hybrid!
Your mentioning of the control of the Pride Liberty got me thinking. What is the most control (non-urethane) ball you’ve thrown in recent months? As a hybrid bowler I’m looking for a slower control piece for when I switch to my no thumb and two handed styles
The Pride Liberty would definitely come to mind. A few others would be the Optimum Idol, Beyond Infinity, Chill Pearl, Raptor Fury and the Outer Limits Pearl.
I don't think there's a ton of overlap actually. The hybrid 2.0 is so strong in the midlane because of the core dynamics that, when compared to this one, I see it as much different from the foul line to the pins.
Considering the Stealth Hybrid and the Xponent Pearl. I am a senior throwing a 13# ball, high track, lower speed 13mph and low to medium rev. For heavy oil I use a Stealth, for medium I use an Outer Limits, and for light oil I use a Nu Blue Hammer. Thinking of replacing my Outer Limits for something just a little stronger core or something that goes down the lane a bit and has more movement when it hits the friction. Any guidance?
If you like the original stealth a lot, I think this could be a good option. The outer limits is going to be slower reacting than this one, but also struggles more with higher volumes of oil, so I'd say the stealth hybrid has a good chance to fill that part of your arsenal well!
What about comparing it to the Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid? I am the lower speed, low/medium rev, high track stroker tossing a 13 lb outer limits currently but want a little more power in the core and maybe a smidgen more length. Thinking the Stealth Hybrid or Black WIdow 2.0 Hybrid might do it.
I’d say the shape is notably stronger overall, with some of that being due to the cover, so slightly stronger? It’s hard to tell exactly with the big differences in core shape.

Much appreciated my friend!
I'm here to support the channel so we can see you painted as Megamind
Honestly I think that’s why most everyone is here at this point.
@bowlersparadise2255 I'll support your channel regardless, blue paint face or not

@@bowlersparadise2255would u put surface on this ball
I like the recommendations on what type of bowler would match with the type of ball you are reviewing
My pleasure! Glad you enjoy the content!

I play the same style. No thumb one handed. Was looking at myself from other perspective)) Added something for myself.
The Stealth Hybrid definitely looks good for a middle bag option. Thanks Ben.
My pleasure!
best ball review channel!
I like the out the window shot that just pured it high flush 😅
That ball had no business hitting the head pin.

How would you compare the two?
I’d lean stealth hybrid. It’s a small edge, but I think the stealth hybrid is going to be more usable for more people.
Does this count as a "blue" ball or is this black?? I really like the motion of my stealth pearl but rarely see the conditions to get to use it. I'm picking up the hybrid!
It’s both blue and black. Those are the two pour colors. I think most bowlers are going to like this one so let us know how you like yours!

@@bowlersparadise2255 thank you
How does this ball compare to the Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid? And would it make sense to have both in the same bag?
Is this ball any different from the gb4 hybrid? Thinking bout getting one but my gb4 is still fairly new
Are you leaning more towards this ball or the vaporize ? As the second ball out of your bag / transition piece
This one would traditionally be the second piece out, but that’s very situationally dependent.
Is this ball too similar to the black widow 2.0 hybrid? I have the bw 2.0 lookin to maybe add this. Thanks in advance!

How different is the coverstock vs the Hazmat (OG Shiny Hybrid)?
I’d say the shape is notably stronger overall, with some of that being due to the cover, so slightly stronger?
It’s hard to tell exactly with the big differences in core shape.
Do you see enough difference between this and the original stealth and the pearl to have all 3 in the bag?
I wouldn’t carry all three, but I’d definitely consider carrying 2/3.
