    Not trying to troll but having a video about beginner balls then talking about friction points and intermediate to advanced concepts is asking for too much for a new beginner. Been bowling for over 40 years, 40 years ago I could count on mid 180's to high 180's average but about 20 years ago went to newer style bowling ball with aggressive coverstock and immediately added 20 pins to my average. Just discovered your channel and really enjoying it.

      A lot of bowlers are very aggressive in their style, me included. I have a high rev rate so these types of balls are good for when the lanes are dry. Allows me to keep my angles more closed for longer. I could buy expensive pearls and get the length I need but why do that when I can get the same results out of a cheaper ball. Bowling is skill based. There's no reason to buy expensive equipment

    I just want to say that thanks to you, Pack, 220 average bowler and all your bowler friends, I've decided to pick up bowling again after over 30 years away! Keep making the videos and teaching me the fun part of bowling again. Thank you Darren! I look forward to watching you win a PBA title soon!!!

    @tonynguyen9059 Год назад +8

    If you feel like your ball doesn't hook enough, roll it slower (believe it or not, it works for house balls too). I threw my solid reactive on heavy oil today and couldn't get it to hook because I realized I was throwing it too fast, hard, and wasn't using the outer parts of the lane (16 lbs ball too). So I slowed down, focused more, concentrated on accuracy and consistency, and it hooked. (I detox my ball 4 games before this specific session and didn't resurface my ball so I'm gonna go do that)

    I love my Tropical Surge (the red one) and want the purple/gold Surge for this fall. I have really soft ball speed and will try getting that Electrify for my bag as well. This fall is my golden anniversary year of league bowling (50 years, where did the time go??) 👀 Thanks for showing all levels of equipment, Darren!

  • @crimsontide1980
    @crimsontide1980 19 дней назад

    To me, the Roto Grip Gustle line is one of the most underrated ball lines. Even a ton of more advanced bowlers use these. I find they are great for later in league play, when the lanes have broken down, or for shorter patterns. I have a Hustle Ink and Hustle Wine. Thinking about adding a hybrid.

  • @atbsigma
    @atbsigma Год назад +5

    Great info DTang… what’s interesting to me is that these entry level balls seem to have a place in league situations when urethane is not used. But the big sellers are the balls with more core, stronger covers…

    @richardhopkins9493 20 дней назад

    I’m a 64-year-old veteran who just picked up a bowling ball for the first time in 40 years. Love your videos very informative. I bought the hammer raw for my first ball about a month and a half ago and it’s not too bad for a beginners ball. I just purchased today and have not had a chance to use it yet, but I bought the phase II . Can’t wait to use it. I’m not that good but I sure have a lot of fun. I know this video is a year old, but it sure helps a lot.

  • @jeremyfranklin1510
    @jeremyfranklin1510 Год назад +4

    I only began with house balls, and then I purchased a Zen Soul and ice spare ball to begin with. Now, later on, I've gained further knowledge of the sport, I've now got a Gem, Pitch Black, Phaze II, Rubicon UC3, RSTX-3, FATE, Zen U and to finish it off Exotic Gem.
    Darren's knowledge made me the bowler I am today, I'd love to see a video of him explaining launch angles and get his opinion on his strategy.

    Sometimes I feel like Darren has so much knowledge about bowling that it can sometimes be his worst enemy. He will overthink and over complicate the situation that he is in, when in competition, that it just ends up hurting him. 😢 watching him explain the low end balls to new bowlers in this video was a little painful to say the least 😅 but it’s all good. We all know he means well and Darren’s is a great guy so keep up the good work! 😊

    I bought a ball back in 2010, didn’t know what I was doing, they put tip plugs in and I got a bit… thicker, I can throw is two hand but it bothered me that I didn’t use it like what I saw as a throw… didn’t know two handed was a thing. Since breaking my wrist half a dozen times I have confided in two hand.

    From someone who went from a motiv thrill to a black widow it's a crazy difference I was throwing one handed but now I throw 2 handed and I can't even throw my black widow cause I average 500 revs but only can throw like 17 18 mph so idk I can throw black widow I just have to be a lot left and throw into the oil and throw faster than normal

    I have mostly strong balls and lately I got a few weaker ones and one of them is that green and black tropical surge and I was amazed at how well it rolled on a fresh house shot.
    I couldn't miss the pocket rolling over 4th arrow.
    I was amazed
    I also have a strong drilling.....
    I went back up to the counter and I asked the guy behind it. Are you sure this is a fresh house shot? He said yes. No one's rolled on it and leak ended so there's no league on Saturdays

    Wish I had seen this before I bough my Tropical surge. I like my ball but already see it’s too weak for what I need. I carry a 180 bag with my Surge but I think I can do better. It just doesn’t plow through the pocket unless I’m on almost the exact board I play. If I kiss it by one board it’s high or low. I’m ready for another ball but I really have no idea where to go from where I am ball wise.

    Was wondering as someone who bowls completly straight (no reaction, no spin, no tips or fancy shit needed, 3 holes with thumb) with 170 average what your thoughts are on the Brunswick White dot 300? I was thinking about upgrading from a 12lbs to a 14lbs since I'm missing sleepers due to deflection on dead on shots and over 200 consistently when i hit the spares, also hitting the pocket and leaving 1 up, I have the curse of the 9's right now, currently throwing 20-23mph with a 12lbs, I picked up a house 14 the other night and striked out 6 frames with more control. I really don't know what ball to buy since I don't bowl like everyone else so was wondering if you could offer some direction or if my choice is a good one thanks. :D

    Longhitterz#1228. Love the videos, what would you recommend as the best thing to do if a person wanted to start bowling on sport patterns? Is it just trying to find a sport league or you need to find tournaments to enter in?

      Rhinos aren't really balls meant for a bigger hook but try throwing slower by standing more up because leg speed = ball speed or change the surface with a pad if you have one
