Crimson jackal has been my most reliable ball this year. Urethane carry down , heavy oil, dry, it does it all. You can throw it all 3 games comfortably. That ball is crazy
I just got my widow 3.0 drilled yesterday. I love it so far still learning it. First game 205 second 200 3rd 215. Also haven't bowled in 15 years beside one time in that period.
I'm in the same boat. Just starting bowling after about 20 years. Waiting for my 2.0 hybrid to come. Had to use an old Hammer house ball and rolled 170's. It's like I'm learning to bowl feom scratch again.
4th season rookie bowler here. I'm still learning my P2, P5, BW hybrid 2.0, so I got a lotta room before I outgrow them. Love the channel, congrats on the new youngin' bro.
The Effect is my personal ball of the year. The way it reads the mids but still has good length and pop downlane is awesome. Hardly ever miss the breakpoint. I use it in both my house shot and challenge pattern league. I don't even have to manipulate my hand that much either it does a lot of the work for you. 3.0 is a close second. Hammer killed it with releases this year.
Just ordered my Mesmerize today before watching this. Needed a solid asym for league and was glad to see you confirmed my decision. Appreciate your unbiased and real bowling reviews - you show the bad shots. Congratulations and best of luck with that baby girl!
Have both Crimson and Liberty and i've been averaging 200+ since i got the Crimson. After being stuck on 185 avg for 6+ months, these two balls got me over the 200 mark very consistently. Great units. Crimson i had to hit with 3000 before it really performed for me, and i havent touched the Liberty surface at all.
CHARLES!!! Thank you so much for this! Just came from a Demo Day on Saturday with SPI & B7…and I can see how you came to the conclusions that you have. Although…my late season sleeper is going to be the Optimum Idol Pearl to crack your top 5! And true dark horse…The Hitter Pearl!
Shocked to see the vaporize as your #1 for sure lol. Brunswick is killing it this year. Also Good Luck and Congrats on the baby! May god bless you and your family!!🎉
I definitely thought the hammer effect and the 900 global harsh reality pearl would be on this list. I just got the harsh pearl waiting to see how it does through out the year.
Great list bro. Appreciate all of your reviews! Put the Stealth hybrid in the bag the day it came out. Such a great shape downlane. Vaporize looks like a great ball, my local PSO is raving about it. Surprised that the Effect isn't on the list, its been the best ball in my bag since I put it there.
Just got that mesmerize. Wow. Not a guy who finds himself left of 25 but i was damn near to 30 on fresh. Just has a different feeling. Almost like you can feel it digging in.
Congratulations on your new addition to the family! I agree 💯 with the Absolute Power! Yooooooo! My OG Absolute is phenomenal on sport only. Based on your pick, I think I'll check out the Vaporize.
Love the video and congratulations I was disappointed that I came in from Tampa last week and stopped by to say hi to Toni and was hoping to finally meet up with you..! Say hi to Scott for me lol
I love the Ion Pro definitely one of the top balls of the year for me but surprised that the Attention Star isn't in your top 10 ball is just a monster in so many conditions and versatile.
Interesting list. Kind of surprised the Widow 3.0 and Effect didn’t make the list though. Seems like you’re always using the latter to compare new releases. It was between the Vaporize and the Effect for a pearl house shot ball and I went with the Effect based on your videos. Looking forward to how this list pans out in a few months.
Like the video, very informative. Trying to get back into bowling after 20 years. I throw slow and just bought a 2.0 hybrid. Haven't bowled with it yet and scared I may have bought the wrong ball. Great vid though!
I am a MOTIV guy and I have the Black Venom, Crimson Jackal and I just got the Dynasty, a little late I know. Seeing that shape of the Dynasty, I have to get Liberty. I should have ut by the end of September.
Mr.Charles I wonder how that new A.I storm ball (it’s got glitter in the name plate)that just came out a few days ago would match up with the mesnerize..
I have only been bowling for 6 months, so my opinion probably doesn't matter much, but I love my Crimson Jackal. I still suck, but with that ball I can throw 200+ regularly. Of course I usually throw a 110 game right after, but oh well 😊
Love the content. I’m just returning to league bowling after a 10 year layoff. I’ve had the Black Widow Venom since 2008 and it was good to me but I feel that now that I’m back , I should upgrade. What do you recommend?
Man Charles that is one I bought 3 weeks ago w/the hazmat. I hope the hazmat is in the 10… Bruh’Bruh’ 16:06 Wow the one I wanted to see. I believe this ball will be in the top 5 when the new heat comes. I know it. I got this and the hazmat, and the hybrid stealth in my bag for hse. 697,731,788, scratch of the beginning of this yr.
Had it in my mind I was going to drill the vaporize, but after putting compound on the widow 3.0 and shooting 805 last week I was questioning the need...but this list has me second guessing that idea Also was thinking idol pearl instead of track stealth hybrid after throwing idol at demo the other day but I dont know now...
No doubt on shape difference. I was debating if too much overlap with the theorem but i think i will keep some shine on the theorem and layout the vaporize a little different as well. Likely drilling one this week to feed my addiction 😂
Need help picking up another bowling ball. I currently have black widow 3.0, phaze 2, black widow ghost pearl but i feel like i need something else the petal is pretty beat up so a pearl recommendation would be nice
How about that BEST ball of the year that nobody will throw? Now it doesn't make the top ten...... I have one and its one of the best balls I have thrown period.
Charles how do you play the lanes with your Scorpion Low Flare compared to the Ion Pro? Im interested in both but am only getting 1. Just trying to figure out which would suit me best.
Mesmerize will be more down lane, conspiracy will give you more control over the pocket. On house the edge goes to the mesmerize and tougher flatter patterns I would lean towards conspiracy
I purchased 3 new balls for the fall session. Your #8 Motive Pride Liberty, Global 900 Eternity, Roto Grip Attention Star. Too bad my other two didn’t make your top 10.
@@TheHype-Bowling The man shoots 212 with it but he's not a fan. I get it, you showed more love to "Newer Released" equipment that may not make the bag otherwise. Cool.
Vaporize is this years Theorem. It does everything the Theorem does but is imo a little more versatile. Can't wait til we can talk about the new Ebonite toys lol.
Pride Liberty fresh off the press 288/722 and I went to it on a blind ball change after a practice during league having never thrown a shot with it. I use the Max Thrill Solid (Superman) more than I do the Pearl because of the layout, it has to be a desert for me to get into the Pearl, but the Solid on fresh THS MONEY! I have the Crimson Jackal but don't throw on a lot of conditions where I can use it with any consistency; I agree its a good ball. Loved watching you and your content this year, keep up the Solid work.
Oh wow! Congrats Charles and your family! Great selection of balls. I'm working on a new arsenal since I'm switching from 12 to 14 lbs. So far, I have the Motiv Jackal Ambush, Track Archetype Hybrid, and the Hammer Effect (obviously I took your advice. Lol!) Since I currently have all asyms, I was thinking about the Stealth series and the Scorpion series to round out the bag. I've dropped from a 16-20 mph player to 10-15 mph, high track, low-mid revs, left-hander. Any advice on the best options for mid-high diff balls (current or at least available to purchase) that you think might work well with my build so far?
Charles HELP!!! Would you carry both the scorpion low flare and ion pro in the same bag?? Or are they too similar? Lol help me out before I make an unwise purchase.
Shocked by the Absolute as Number 1 we have similar games and the lower has been trash for me except on sport shots but mediocre on house. Gonna play with the surface a bit and see if it changes my mind.. Its very niche to me and far from super star but i keep thinking I'm missing something.
@TheHype-Bowling Thank you, sir! I've been looking at the Artic Vibe. Everyone seems to like it a lot and it's very affordable. I'll do some research on the Envy Tour. Thanks again!

How the Hammer Effect wasn't in the top three at minimum is a crime. That's all, lol, but respect your top ten, though.
I agree, absolutely love the effect!
Talking quiet so you don't bother the wife. I get it. 😁
lol exactly! Happy Wife happy life!
🤣🤣🤣
Thank You for the awesome videos, between you & Brunsnick are my favorite of all to watch,learn, and choose my balls by the two of yous for my 6 pk.

I'm about to order one myself. Beautiful ball!
Count me as a viewer for the cross brand comparison videos you mentioned. It’s a good niche you have with reviews!
You're showing the wrong clip on the Max Trill Pearl. But I agree good ball.
Opps
Was thinking the same thing

The low flare is a hybrid. But all in all good list!
Btw Nice pop figures in the back. I got a Collection myself
True true. Funko for life!
I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a Brunswick Mesmerize. I care about both performance and look of the ball, and it has both in spades.

Great vid. I have an Absolute Power, so Charles, what surface do you put on yours? Congrats on a baby girl, very cool 👍
I love mine I have mine at 3k
I keep mines at 2k.
I think the Track Blue Tundra Fire belongs here. I can play right or get deep with it and it just keeps digging. So much ball for so little dough.
The tundra blue fire is definitely a goodie.
Great face at 3:39 😂
Could you do a video of how to keep your body aligned with ball swing I struggle with opening up my body when throwing the ball please and thank you
Try and mimic a 2-hander or hockey player swinging a hockey stick. Your shoulders should be perpendicular to the foul line during your approach.
That’s something I can definitely work on!
@@TheHype-Bowling I do appreciate it
I like Mark Baker's advice about keeping your breastplate toward your target.

Mesmerize vs Radical Conspiracy??
Might be a good video..
Which 1 one is stronger with more backend on extra oily lanes?
Mesmerize will be more down lane, conspiracy will give you more control over the pocket. On house the edge goes to the mesmerize and tougher flatter patterns I would lean towards conspiracy

How similar are the crimson jackal and the pride liberty?

Both lol. Fresh 2k or lane shine works.

Yep than I threw the one Reverb and vaporize. I lean towards those balls more.

Vaporize is 1 and absolute power 2, but drill wise. Did you drill it really strong or really weak?
People still don’t understand how good the absolute power is
What surface on yours?
Money ball!
Hard to go for it when Hitter solid is like $70 less
What do you think of the Intense Mastermind and Hyper Venom?
Surprised the Black Widow 3.0 is not on this list...😲
How does the Stealth Hybrid compare to the Widow 2.0 Hybrid? Would it make sense for me to have both in the same bag?
Yeah you can definitely have both in a bag. Stealth is going to be cleaner and hair smoother down lane compared to the widow.
