I can't keep track of how many balls came out already in the span of 3 months. I feel like I see a new ball video every two weeks. Hopefully they make a whole lot more for next year. Hopefully another reality ball type would be nice!
But what's worse is it seems every new SPI ball costs $175-$200 now. So if this ball is the weakest ball of the lineups, why $200. It's not a new core or coverstock.
Have a good 2024 Darren. Thanks for your videos the past year(s). I haven't bowled anymore for about 6 years but your videos keep me attracted to the sport.
Thanks for the videos Darren. I just subscribed and have learned a lot. Bowled in my 20s and I’m now back into bowling at 60. Can’t wait to learn more! Good luck in 2024! HNY
I love the new style of ball reviews, it’s so much better than the hyped up “clickbaitly” content before. I also love the more general bowling specs, and approach tips as well. Keep up the great content.
I have the original absolute and tour dynam x as first two balls out of bag with the tour being first. Maybe need to look at this one to replace the tour
Look forward to seeing what Storm, Roto Grip, and 900 Global offer in 2024, I like the hybrid balls, I get 2 of them have a strong layout with a dull surface and a weak layout with a polished surface.
Yo Darren, your vid's are super entertaining. Also very helpful. I'm a younger bowler and your tips have helped out so much as well as just watching your vids in general. Thanks for the amazing content
Hey Darren! Love the vids!! One thing I was wondering if when you put up the oil patter and show the shot shape going down lane, would it be possible to show the ball go down the lane on the oil grid? That way we can see where your ball is going through the oil and where it exits etc
@@ChrisUlrichI still dont understand what that all means. It all looks the same to me. Sometimes they hook a little more or a little less. And when he changes the ball layouts to weaker or stronger doesnt that void the differences?? Shouldnt he of drilled them all identical layouts so we can see the real difference?
@@feverdream2661 most of the balls that are compared to the newest releases are just what happens to be in my bag at that time. You won't be able to see that 1/4 of an inch difference in layout. I'm here to explain where these balls fit.
@@feverdream2661 Earlier and smoother means: The ball will read the lane sooner Smoother means less hockey stick and more roundish. It's not going to be super quick once it sees friction. People love to look at hook for it's movement left to right (or vice versa). It's actually front to back. That's how to gauge how strong a ball in almost every situation. Moving where the pin is does change things, but the cover is still different. Could you in theory get them very close if you put put lighter surface on the solid and more surface on the pearl? Probably, yea. But they will still be different. One cover will also react to surface a lot more than the other. But the general idea of the Absolute vs Absolute Power will be pretty noticeable. The Power will start to read the lane earlier and start up sooner.
Darren, how about a video of 12 lb balls, maybe 5 of them, to see which one hooks the best for older bowlers who cant handle anything heavier. My Storm Surge-11 lbs isnt hooking well. Want to upgrade to a 12 if it would be worth it.
@DarrenTang Great ball review! I'll be in Vegas Jan 13-20 for the Military bowling championships at South Point. I know the tour is starting up but would love to talk bowling with you or just bowl with you and get beat.....maybe. Keep making great content!!
I have a question for you Mr Daren is the old tropical storm bowling ball better than the storm surge or is the storm surge better than the disconnected tropical storm ?
Hey Darren, I was talking with your uncle last night about this ball in league @Dublin Bowl. He asked me, "why do you want it?" I think you just answered this question. 😂 I like the Absolute but I don't bring it out until later games. I want this ball!
Darren, I'm 68 years old currently don't have a solid in my bag. I'm coming back from a quadruple bypass surgery. I'm a low rev player. Mostly bowl on a house shot. Would this be a good ball for me? Thanks.
Do you mind explaining why? I’m a lefty 2 hander. I really liked the hyroad pearl and was pretty good with it. Would absolute power be a good substitute for the hyroad pearl?
I wanna try the power sooooo bad but I absolutely(no pun intended) HATED the og absolute. Idk if I just never found the right situation for it. But that was part of the problem I could NEVER find a situation where it looked good for me. And my pin carry with it has been awful if I ever could get it there. Sadly turns me off from anything related to it
Can you explain what the drilling layouts mean?? How is someone supposed to know which number layout to drill. Does it depend on your release?? Its really confusing
It depends on your pap, release and other factors, your pro shop operator should be able to determine layout for you based on what characteristics you tell them you want.

Watching a lot of videos lately about bowling and I don’t understand half of the slang terms used, so it’s hard for me to get much value from them. I’m going to try to get lessons from my pro shop owner, so he’ll probably explain some of the slang to me. I wish some of the bowling content creators would realize that their videos are like Greek to many of us wanting to learn, but not yet understanding all of the slang terms.
It’s kinda like curling. If I was to put that much time and effort into a pro sport it would be baseball. You’re outside and have a chance at signing a $10 million a year contract. Nice videos.
I love this new format with the data provided! Jesse, please keep doing this format for ball reviews!
I can't keep track of how many balls came out already in the span of 3 months. I feel like I see a new ball video every two weeks. Hopefully they make a whole lot more for next year. Hopefully another reality ball type would be nice!
That’s funny cos I just got a used altered reality drilled
New Reality is coming, it’s called “Harsh Reality” saw it in a pro shop magazine the other day.
i was gonna say the same thing im waiting for the new year to buy anything
haha nice try ! probably will fit in your bag @@coreythomas-hq6mg

The ball review videos just get better and better!

The editing is top notch jessie! Waiting for that summit peak review
wow, you guys are doing a great job on these, pretty cool to see the detail, good luck in the upcoming season!

Love how this is edited!! Great job!
much better video production with info on targeting really helps... thanks for this video and best of luck on tour in 2024!
Video quality has definitely went up in value. Props Jesse!
Good job of providing the foot/arrows/break point numbers. Somehow I understand what the ball, and you, are doing.
I can't wait to get it. I was doing demo day with it, and I bowled a 251 with it

THIS IS AN ELITE EDIT!! AWESOME JOB JESSE!!
I would love to see a comparison with the VEBO , though it sounds like the Absolute Power is a bit stronger?
Hey Darren, if you are still in reno can we do a pro vs. Am. I saw you at syc reno
Love the colours of this ball
The ball's look reminds me ALOT of the old Brunswick Copperhead with the bronze and grey colors mixing
Great review, as always!
Happy New Year!
love this balls motion next solid in my bag forsure! thanks darren
The only thing I am wondering is why not compare the Absolute to the Power. To see the differences.
Gonna be earlier and smoother with a similar shape.

I like how this video is it looks the same as the Korean storm bowling at thunder lanes I think where they do their videos.
I like the liminal look of the bowling center
Question hopefully someone can answer. What pattern does the stadium put out for hdcp tournaments?
Darren, how about a video of 12 lb balls, maybe 5 of them, to see which one hooks the best for older bowlers who cant handle anything heavier. My Storm Surge-11 lbs isnt hooking well. Want to upgrade to a 12 if it would be worth it.
love the new breakdown!!

Www video was waiting for it glad to see
i love the music in the last few videos Would be fun to have a link to the songs
Awsome review
I thought the clone was the weakest solid asym
I have a question for you Mr Daren is the old tropical storm bowling ball better than the storm surge or is the storm surge better than the disconnected tropical storm ?
If you like what that ball does, but you can't get past the color scheme what other ball would be its equal?
Would the absolute power and summit peak be good ro have borh in your bag? Or are they to similar?
How do you know when to change ball layout from pin up to pin down
I have the absolute, hyroad pearl and IQ 78u for spare. Would this be a good addition for something stronger, or could you give me a suggestion.
Hey Darren, I was talking with your uncle last night about this ball in league @Dublin Bowl. He asked me, "why do you want it?" I think you just answered this question. 😂 I like the Absolute but I don't bring it out until later games. I want this ball!
I am 75yrs of, I had total knee replacement on my left knee. I bowl left handed. I want to change my hand release. I need lots of help 😫
What is Darren's rev rate/ speed? I am looking at getting this ball
I think we need an update on the 6 ball bag videos
Really like the cover combo of this ball as well.
Music source??? Soooo gooood
How would you compare the absolute power to the DNA? Also to the summit?
Might have to get one! ☝️
Thank you for making this amazing video about bowling ball
Darren, I'm 68 years old currently don't have a solid in my bag. I'm coming back from a quadruple bypass surgery. I'm a low rev player. Mostly bowl on a house shot. Would this be a good ball for me? Thanks.
I wanna know if you can help me Which Bowling ball It's good I'm heavy oil. And on Sports short Lane condition
Crazy good editing.
This is probably going to be a 2-handers dream.
Do you mind explaining why? I’m a lefty 2 hander. I really liked the hyroad pearl and was pretty good with it. Would absolute power be a good substitute for the hyroad pearl?
How does this stack up against storm optimus (pear)?
What do you personally run as a spare ball?
If this isn’t a top tier solid from Storm why is it insanely aggressive when it reacts?
I wanna try the power sooooo bad but I absolutely(no pun intended) HATED the og absolute. Idk if I just never found the right situation for it. But that was part of the problem I could NEVER find a situation where it looked good for me. And my pin carry with it has been awful if I ever could get it there.

Above or below the Storm Phase II?
How does this compare to magic gem?
Does the tape on your arm help?

Weakest asym solid? What about tour dynamx
It was mentioned but not included during editing.
I have the Eternity Pi and I would put it in the nut category.
The Pi is beast
The more new ones that come out I kinda just want a hyroad pearl lol
That ball was beast one of my favorites
This ball review 🎉
What is the poundage of the ball?
Darren uses 15lb balls.

Absolute power or attention star
That ball screams on the back end.
Hi Darren
Jesse’s cooking 😮💨
Nice might have to slow down on buying a clone
This comes out on 1/19/2024
It’s kinda like curling. If I was to put that much time and effort into a pro sport it would be baseball. You’re outside and have a chance at signing a $10 million a year contract. Nice videos.
Looks like every other ball released😂😂😂
I’m surprised you haven’t reviewed the track stealth pearl. Have you ever tried it out?
He’s a storm staffer lol, he won’t be throwing anything other than Storm, Roto-grip or 900 global
@@coreythomas-hq6mg gotcha, makes more sense. I love storm, so I can’t complain about that much.
W tarren
👍👍👍👍
How to say you don't like a ball without saying it lol.
Made a tv show with it. Who says I don't like it?
@@DarrenTang Roasted by D Tang. My bad lol.
I love you Darren

I have this ball when I bowl with this ball it hits with force when it hits BOOM 💥🎳
