I had bicep tendon and rotor cuff surgery ...was out last season... trying to get my rhythm, timing and swing back on point. Put an updated arsenal together Motiv Evoke, Thrill solid and Roto Idol pearl... the many releases are tempting. I'll go with the Sublime. However, since i'm no longer doing 3 leagues and bowling in the same house...yada yada . Keep the bowl ball reviews coming...and what you think are top balls for league bowling.
Thanks and I will do.. top balls for league man that’s a tough one. The reason why it’s so tough is because it depends on the type of bowler you are. For me it’s simple the Magic Gem, Xponent, Arctic Vibe, venom shock, Evoke, thrills ball both of them, scorpion strike just to name a few
It’s coming!! But I’m going to have one of my students throwing it. Shape/motion wont be any different no matter who is throwing it. All of the videos are actually being recorded today the line up is as follows. Mantra, Cuda power, crusher and Hammer pure envy. Coming later on during the week a ball from Swag, and the Subzero
Thanks for keeping it real Coach. Mad respect 🫡. I have and love the Exponent. And for u to say that u would throw it before the focus is y i keep watching ur channel. U keep it 💯 always
Hey Coach! Can you make a video on what you did for your rehab on the torn bicep? I just recently torn mine last Aug 13th. I did therapy and felt great but over did it again last labor day and had another set back. Currently doing chin ups and bicep curls for rehab. How long did you stay off the hand? I switched to 2handed lefty until the hand feels 97% ready. Let us know how to avoid injury after the tear please! Thanks Coach!
Well rehab is rehab!! However I don’t listen to doctors very well. I didn’t tear it off the bone, but what happened to me is the muscle split. So I told the doctor I wasn’t going to stop bowling, and the doctor advices me that it would take a lot longer to heal. So I bowled thru it just not very well, and lost a ton of ball speed. A smart person would rehab, and take time off. I’m just not very smart 🤷🏽♂️
@@badbadbowling101 totally feel your pain coach! My muscle split on me on 3 occasions last one on labor day. Now I’m trying to bowl with the left hand for couple months but still have to use the right since I’m 2 handed bowler. Acupuncture helped me a lot but I’m gonna give it more time to heal and not over use it like how I did before. It sucks not bowling w/ the dominant hand.😫
@@pho_bowler well giving it time to heal already makes you smarter than me. The pain of bowling thru it wasn’t good, but I’m to stubborn for my own good.
These mfg are doing it again! Way too many new releases. They need to spread it out more. At some point the balls are starting to cross over and produce the same shapes. BTW so glad to hear you are healthy again coach! I was finally released from the hospital as well. Can you believe I was in the hospital for 4 weeks this time? I spent a total of 48 days in the hospital between all 3 stays. Brutal! The good news is I sb able to start healing and get back to normal. It's going to take about 3 moths of PT to get back to 50% and about 9 months or so before I will be close to 100% but they removed my colon so I shouldn't have any more setbacks from here on out. I am so weak right now It's hard to imagine getting back to 100% ever but day by day and one step at a time I will be back on the lanes soon enough.
Man congratulations on being home. Don’t worry about the lanes just focus on getting better. You can live on the lanes thru me until you’re back on your feet. Now about all these bowling balls!! Yeah just way too many it’s like 10 balls a month with all brands. However for them all to be dropping so many people must be buying them. Yes at this point it’s just repeats, but with all the ball reps screaming next big thing it’s like catnip to bowlers 🤷🏽♂️
@@badbadbowling101 "catnip to bowlers" that is such a great way to phrase it! You should do a video talking about how the mfg are handling the market. They put out so many new balls each year that it becomes too much and if these new balls were so great then why do they discontinue them in just a short time? Hell some pieces of equipment don't even last to the end of the year! Maybe this would be a great topic for your podcast. I am really excited to join you next week and be part of a live conversation. Man I wish I lived closer to you. I would love to hang out and talk bowling.
@@badbadbowling101 what about sublime focus compared to the hazmat solid. Thanks again. I am looking for a ball above my vebo for 1st game league play that I can play inside in the oil.
If you haven't torn the bicep yet then you need to back off and give it the rest it needs. It's hard to stop doing the things you live but you will cut your injury time in half if you start a good rest and PT routine now before it's too late.
@@badbadbowling101 I just can't believe you were able to rehab that injury while still bowling. I feel like you probably could have healed a little faster with rest but hey, your on the mends now and your game is looking so good bro! I think once you get back to 100% you're due for some tournaments and some big scores.
That my friend is a pretty dang on great question. I think that if you’re a big time tournament bowler you need the options. However top bullies like EJ Tackett has a small selection, and he is amazing. Sam Cooley. Said this year that being with Motiv was a really good thing because he had a munch of fewer options. Sometimes it’s tricky for be because I have so many options. I tend to take balls not because I want to throw them but to just see if I can 🤷🏽♂️
Absolutely 100% the market is literally saturated with balls that do the same thing. At this point you can just start buying the ball that has the colors you like more than the other 10 options that roll the same.
Need ur help Coach. I’m making the move from 15lbs to 14lbs. I’m looking for a 3 ball league arsenal for THS that will cover most situations. Looking at the new SPI lineup. Wats ur suggestion? Ur one of the RUclips bowlers whose opinion i value. Thanks
@addictedTobowling so you need 3 balls so let’s look at ball one. If you want asymmetrical cheap option is Magic Gem if money isn’t an issue Ion Mac also I can’t forget about the Black Widow 3.0. If you want symmetrical you have Sublime Focus which is stronger but a little weaker you can get the hazmat solid which is awesome. Medium ball Hammer Arctic vibe is a can’t miss with or without the polish. The storm the road is also a great middle ball choice as well. However if I didnt go Arctic vide I really would go hammer Effect. Now on to ball 3 the cleaner version!! Attention star is everyone first choice, but it’s not mine because I can’t see it, but it’s one heck of a ball.another asymmetrical choice is storm DNA coil. As for symmetrical choices thrill max pearl, optimum idol, but my first choice is the one and only Hammer Scorpion Strike. Yes the theme here is Hammer 🤷🏽♂️
@Keyz424 heck yeah!! Unless they cutting that check you better use it all. That’s the benefit of being able to use them all. You can take and use the best from all lines 🤷🏽♂️
Good video!!
Thank you

Now I’m not saying it’s not a good ball because it is. However I personally don’t need it at this time.
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
good video keep putting out good content.
where do we put the series guesses
I’m going to be posting a thing in the community tab here shortly that will link to a shorts video

Nah 😂😂
Hi Coach is the focus much stronger than the hammer effect? Is the hammer effect stronger than a vebo?
Sublime Focus is stronger than the Hammer Effect. I would rate the hammer effect a little stronger than the VEBO. Why HK22
@@badbadbowling101 what about sublime focus compared to the hazmat solid. Thanks again. I am looking for a ball above my vebo for 1st game league play that I can play inside in the oil.
@@jbin2756the sublime focus is also stronger that the hazmat solid. If you watch this comparison you can see how much stronger it is.
@@badbadbowling101 yes. Lol that was the point of the video. Been watching so many comparison videos forgot this was the comparidon 😅
@@jbin2756 😂😂😂
Battling the same thing bicep supposed to hold up. Killed mine in December

Need ur help Coach. I’m making the move from 15lbs to 14lbs. I’m looking for a 3 ball league arsenal for THS that will cover most situations. Looking at the new SPI lineup. Wats ur suggestion? Ur one of the RUclips bowlers whose opinion i value. Thanks
I wish I had a chance to watch you roll the ball before I recommended something. Question are you just looking for 3 ball in SPI line?
@@badbadbowling101 I’m open to whatever works best. I usually throw it up 10. About 15 mph around 315 rev rate. furthest i move left is 25

@addictedTobowling I mean you actually really could, but I would say you might have to play with your surface a little with that line up.

@@Keyz424 it’s only cheating on storm if they’re paying you 🤷🏽♂️
@@badbadbowling101 you right about that 😂

Nah not at all if I didn’t have the top of my bag set I would keep it.
