    Probably the best ball review I’ve ever seen. I will watch more from you guys. Loved the tri-comparison and showing it on 2 different patterns. This really gives us great insight into each balls strengths and weaknesses

  • @Mikey-1990
    @Mikey-1990 3 года назад +8

    Really depends on what pattern I'm bowling on for tournament or my sport shot league, but just for the sake of conversation, I generally earlier in the set on the fresh play straighter with my hand up the back and faster speed with a solid coverstock, but once the lanes start to transition and force me to move left, I switch to something pearlized, get my hand around it more and ease up on the speed a tad. Late in the block when the lanes are really torched, causing my ball to hook early and I'm as far left as I can be, I'll switch to my lowest hook potential pearl ball and pick the speed back up. I've had pretty good success following this game plan over the years.

    Out of all the ball video's-you guy's have the absolute best. 1. The way you will compare the featured ball against other balls in it's class. 2. The different oil patterns that you will throw them on. 3. And lastly throwing them at different ball speeds. YOU GUY'S ARE THE BEST!!!

    I definitely like playing straighter but I’m working on trying to hook the lane more because I know there will be times when I need to do that… but straighter is greater for me 95% of the time

    Like playing left and hooking, but whatever strikes. Growing up in bowling on wood. Tossed it to the 1 board from anywhere 1970’s. &80’s. Turned 60, now the balls do all the work. Love your videos and explaining how and why on ball motion for ball comparison 😎💪🎳

  • @TrandafirRuby
    @TrandafirRuby 3 года назад +1

    super easy to see if i miss my mark early if i play straight up the lane with my weaker balls going 2 handed. If everyone is playing the same line though, I like to open up the angles so I don't have to start moving left as much and as fast.

  • @connorallen9711

  • @philipmai80
    @philipmai80 3 года назад +1

    Since i only average about 250-300 rpm and still hitting the ball to much up the side, i usually try to stay more straight to blend out my lazy hand. Not afraid to move in if needed, just not as confident.

    Got one of these sitting in the drill for tomorrow, only had it been there Sunday. Zen was way too much Rubicon rolling out uc2 had grip issues this would have been perfect after the rxt after semis. In the damn final match could not get the Rubicon to turn enough and no other options... had never been in that deep prior. This should take care of this if I can only drill up little talent with it 😆
    Ended up a 2nd place in my second ever tournament though:)

    I prefer straighter if forced to answer, but it's whatever I need to do, really. There's one lane in my center where I'm playing 25-8 (feet-target), and another lane close by barely hooks and I have to play 15-10. The inconsistency is something else.

    IDK man I’ve watched a few reviews and I just don’t like the way this thing looks down-lane. Looks like it burns up early and blends too much.

      @@jrproshop True, but in my situation (amateur league bowler) that condition is rare. I have a Hammer The Sauce which is real strong and early, same general shot shape as this, and I barely ever use it. Even on fresh it over-hooks when playing straight and just farts through the pins when opening up angles.
