    Really enjoyed this Luis. Nothing wrong with strong opinions. Some balls just don't match up, and you gave it all context, so really appreciate your honesty.
    Can't wait for your Brunswick list - I can see a "certain" pearl being somewhere near the top, heh. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

    Luis hope you get well soon. I had the original Covid-19 and almost died. Covid is no joke, I think you are really tough to do videos of any kind under the circumstances. Very interesting list you have. I think its worth noting that the old balls still have overall the top shelve. Great job and get well my friend.

    Luis .. Thanks so much for pulling this together, especially since you are "under the weather"!! Love what you did with the Storm Family of Balls ... would love to get your thoughts on ranking the Motiv balls as well and what would be even more interesting comparing your "Top 10" Storm Balls to their counterparts over on the Motiv Side. Best wishes for your improving health !!

Enjoyed the tier list and your unvarnished reviews and opinions are very useful to build an arsenal. I know I am interested in several of the balls here and this video will help me make good choices.

    Liked the video. Its good to mix things up sometimes and not just do the same style video every time. Even if you didn't plan on it (thanks COVID). I mostly like the honesty you put out there. Every bowler is different and they will match up with different balls. Someone who bowls similarly to you can really find this type of video very useful. Speaking of that, what's your average ball speed / rev rate? Hope you get better soon and thanks for continuing to put out good content!

    Hey Luis, greetings all the way from Singapore!
    Your content has definitely been growing on me and I do use your videos as a truly unbiased source!
    I have an idea for a video that I believe the bowling community would absolutely adore.
    It would be awesome if you could compare all the GOAT balls across the various brands that you have thrown + other honourable mentions. Would love to get your take on how Motiv stacks up with the SPI/Brunswick products!
    Some GOAT balls that come to mind are the Venom Shock, Forge Flare, Desert Tank from Motiv + Obsession Tour, Purple Hammer from Hammer as well as those GOAT balls from SPI as per this Tier List video. Comparing these balls can really educate us when creating our Arsenal!
    Once again, thanks for your content!

    Pretty on point with ball reactions I’ve seen on your clips. Only surprises were that you didn’t have Hyroad Pearl in GOAT, and maybe the same for PhazeII since on clips you throw both really well. Otherwise the only real shockers are seeing the Zen Master and RST-X2 so far down a list, simply because of popularity reasons.

    Hope you feel better.. You deserve a much needed break anyways. I like the tier lists. It gives a better idea of where u guys really like certain bowling balls with as many as you touch upon through out the year. I was just glad to see you put the Altered up there.. As I just purchased that along with the Pride to pair up as both work really well together for me Along with my Rubicons Oirignal and UC2) and Supra(haha still love that ball for the dry). One of my personal favorites over the last year or so. Only one I was kind of shocked on was the RSTx2.. I thought that one would of been a little higher for you, but this is what is good like you said and I shared with my son. Every bowler is different. What works for some may not work for others. Either rate good stuff. Happy Holidays and feel better.

  • @KennyGrinols
    @KennyGrinols 2 года назад +2

    Hey Luis,
    Few things. 1: For YOUR tier list, I find it odd you were lower on the Trend 2 than I expected. I've watched pretty much all of your videos since you started reviewing Storm products. Like you mentioned in this video, during your review, it looked like you genuinely couldn't miss with the Trend 2, and had more miss room than any other review I can think of. It's surprising that it hasn't worked out for you beyond that review. I don't own one, and likely won't, as it doesn't fit my bag, this is purely based on my perception of watching you throw it.
    2: To have that much success with the Alpha Crux, combined with having the ProMotion as a GOAT (meaning you understand SPEC) it's mind blowing that you haven't drilled/thrown an Omega or Prime. I haven't thrown them all, but I own 9 of the 10 Crux's produced. I've never matched up with a core so well, my Prime has surpassed the Virtual Gravity and Pink Panther as favorite ball of all time.
    Hope you feel better!

    • @LuisNapoles
      @LuisNapoles  2 года назад

      Thanks Kenny! Yea I don't know why I just didn't click with T2 beyond that review! Yea I LOVE that pro motion and the alpha crux! I am actually looking to pick up an Omega crux so bad!

    • @cryptonator1988
      @cryptonator1988 2 года назад

      Omg the virtual gravity was that a nano ball from storm? That ball was an absolute monster everyone shot big games and series with that ball on my league.. i never owned one but always wanted one i was like 15-17yrs old when that ball came out so i didnt have a job yet thats why i didnt own a lot of balls i wanted.
      Most of my grandparents friends bought new balls once a month and they would give me there old balls or balls that were old to them and new to me.. so i didnt have to buy balls back in the days but i didnt have a choice eithers beggers cant be chooser so i had to take what i can get from them.. i remember i got a ebonite apex loved that ball, my grandpa original black widow pearl i think amazing ball and bunch of balls in between i cant even remember got my grandpas prodigy etc... ive always bowled with balls for years until the core were dead some never die though lol..

  • @Les177
    @Les177 2 года назад +2

    The one ball you did not rate is the Electrify Pearl. I bought that ball a few months ago and I did not like it because it was too long and too snappy. I then watched your video about the Hustle Camo and I changed the surface to 2000 and since then it has become one of my favorite balls. It has similar specs to the Hustle.

You both loved and used the phase 2 quite a bit but didn't even throw or review the phase 3. I'm just curious is all. I recently got one and wondered what your take is on it.
    Have you ever thrown the phase 3 and if not why?

    Nice video Luis, so my choices were the X2, Hyroad Pearl, Wolverine, Zen, no particular order. I have the X2, had the Zen, and looking to get the Hyroad Pearl and the Wolverine, or at least 1 of the last 2 I mentioned, I don't want it to be overkill with the Hyroad Pearl and the Wolverine. Which 1 would you recommend, my style is slower ball speed, but a lot of revs(right handed no thumb bowler ).

    • @LuisNapoles

    Luis said it perfectly. Never knows what you’ll get with the Dark Code. I’ve bowled my best game with it (279), but it’s never the first, or 2nd ball out of my bag. Trident Horizon and IQ EMERALD are 1a and b. If I could carry my Reign on, it would be ahead of the dark code too. If you’re just a little off for the day, dark code isn’t an option what so ever

  • @donhughes9743
    @donhughes9743 2 года назад +2

    I almost drilled a phaze 2 instead of a phaze 3. I still may add that ball to my arsenal. Btw... I cleared the front 9 with my phaze 3 in a senior tournament recently and blew my tenth frame with a missed seven pin.
    I agree with the ranking of the Dark Code. I've seen people pummel pins with it and others not able to keep it on the lane. In my opinion, it's an overhyped inconsistent ball that takes a certain bowlers touch to be effective.
    I would like to see the Phaze 3 and the Squatch ranked. I hope you feel better.

    • @donhughes9743
      @donhughes9743 2 года назад

      @@LuisNapoles perhaps it's just me and my rev rate, but the Phaze 3 almost seems to rev up on the back end rather than die. It will probably end up that you don't like it because it is an angular ball and I've seen that you like balls that are more continuous. However, that could be merely the lay out and I'm sure you and I differ there.
      Looking forward to seeing that one in your hands.

    Hustle camo is legit, just got it yesterday and went 277 (zen master) ball changed because I missed back to back left side in the tenth and pulled out the camo and went 235,220. Very controllable and I think once I get a few more games with it it’ll because my favorite go to ball. No offense taken on the zen master being a hate ball lol I just tend to have success with it first game. 18.75 mph 480-520 revs depending on lane conditions.

      Read that the ball is doing. Bowling is the only sport where you get instant feedback. If the ball is hooking to soon to late too much not enough. Understand that bowling balls are NOTHING except tools to get the job done. Understand that every tool may be used a little different. Understand that all tools have a function and finally understand what that function is for you!

    Sorry if this is a personal question, and no judgement if you choose not to answer, but do you think you got Covid from the bowling alley? I've been going once a week but not removing my mask. I've been safe so far, but I'm not bowling in a league either. Early reports are that Omicron is more easily contracted than the main strain and delta strain.
    I wanted to start a short season league in January, but starting to have second thoughts due to Omicron and the fact that I was dealing with cancer last year.
