What grips do you use?

2000 grit on road warrior games down the big boomt backend perfectly

Hello! I come to you for a lot of Arsenal help, and was hoping you could help one more time. So I have the Effect Tour, IQ Tour, Obsession Tour, DV8 Verge Solid, IQ Ruby, Hy-Road and Theorem. Would it make sense to add the Summit Ascent?? I’m a two handed lefty and the Verge solid is at 4000 Grit, I just feel there’s a lot of overlap. Thanks for your thoughts!

I have an M&M and love it on dry and heavily transitioned lanes. Would the solid be a game 1 ball on medium+ oil house shot or more of an in-between ball? Also, how about the Hustle USA hybrid? Whare does that fit? Thanks

I have a The one reverb and Stealth hybrid and love both as a 1 2 punch. Great shape the one reverb being earlier. I am low rev low speed 14.5mph. Would the evo be a step down from the hybrid and a good number 3 ball? I am also high tilt. I was also looking at the scorpion strike but but thinking bigger core might be better?? Thank you

Great videos. What is your PAP?

I have this ball, it's one of my favourites.

didnt like the regular mindset, hooked at your toe and did squat down lane,

reminds me of the old black ninja by AMF

I just got this ball yesterday. it is my first ball and i already love it. it is a very controllable, predictable, and hard/late hooking ball. i would say its similar to the pearl black widow ghost but hooks later

THE STAR S2 SHOULD HAVE MADE YOUR LIST...WHY NOT?????

Forge subzero enters the chat 😂. Just got one!

Would this ball have value for a low rev speed dominant bowler who plays fast and direct to the pocket?

the Vaporize is my main ball now. Feels like a cheat code.

Would you prefer this ball, or the hustle M&M on burnt ? Or even another ball

Would this be a good ball to use in between my lane shined phazeII and my Hustle M&M? Perhps you have a better suggestion. Im a low-med speed and rev, tweener bowling on med-heavy house shot? Thanks.

Is it worth having this ball and a IQ Ruby in the same bag?

What do you think about this compared to the Vaporize ?

Seems like a 2nd to 3rd game ball

I want HyRoad Warrior with R2S Deep Hybrid 😆

I was thinking about getting this. If I have a phaze AI and a road warrior is that too much overlap? Or is phaze a step down from road warrior.

On dryer conditions would you prefer this or the lightning blackout ? I’m a 2 hander, above avg speed & revs

Do you think this is a good ball for 2 handed bowlers no thumb?

Break the surface to 3000 and the ball is lights out! Still clean but more angular now.

Lower rev player, 15mph, definitely needs oil. But for me last night at league, throwing it straight down 10 is a strike almost every time. Difficult to use on dried out lanes and he is right, you need to throw it.

The one remix my benchmark was the original one years ago

I picked up the Ethos Hyb and omg is this ball strong. I went with a 75x4.5x30 layout to lean into the smoothness and after breaking the cover this ball wants to make a strong defined move through the pins. Im left handed and average 16ishph at the pins and just over 400 rpms. This ball can work on the heaviest volumes with ease. It thinks is a big asym solid but with way more continuation. Very purple hammer esq

Would you recommend this ball for a rev dominant 2 hander that throws slower than a grandma? Or would this be too strong for a slow roller?

Hi I mean the Riochet and the Vaporize looks like they have the same reaction? Alex ?

dales weston lanes ???

I just had a SZF drilled.. and i did a Pin down (just like my Primal Shock). It was drilled right after finishing league, but i did manage to toss 8-10 frames on used/burned lanes.. wasn't expecting too much especially since i just stood/threw my normal PShock shot.. but holy smokes this ball tore up the pins.. i cannot wait until next week/Tues for league. Nope I'm not speed nor Rev dominate player.. i'm mid... ~ 14-15mph speed and ~350 rev (not positive but pretty good guess i think).. also not one of those .. oh i avg 230 etc etc.. i'm 59 and avg 205.. 3 games a week only (just to hang with the guys)

Hi Ben, with all the new balls coming out since 1st week of Dec. 2024, would you please revise this list? Thanks

They all look the same.

How do you think this ball compares to the new Physix Blackout?

My good sir, please tell us you’re going to be reviewing the phsyix blackout soon 🫡

Love this ball ✌🏻

Game Breaker 2 Was Awesome for me! Still trying to find a worthy replacement since the GB5 was a letdown.

@bowlersparadise2255 Hey ben, I'm a new bowler, about 3-4 months in and throwing a tropical surge, still getting the hand of the one hand 3 finger release, still really working on getting behind and under the ball but I can throw it ok, peobably higher 200's rev rate, and im looking to get a more aggressive ball for league, the surge just struggles with so much oil and no flare and a bigger ball just looks plain fun, SO, if you could pick one ball as a main for league (can throw the surge at spares) ehich would it be? Been looking at attention star, origin, summit ascent, phaze ai, iq ruby, ect ect..... suggestions?????? I've watched just about all your videos and you are easily the best reviewer by FAR, thank you for all you do!

I used their layout guide in 1 and my normal layout on the other. My go to layout is 45/4.5/45 The one using the middle zone and their no thumb guide is WAY better. I have it drilled right in the middle zone for the most control and its layout is 55/6.5/40 The ball is INSANE!!! I sent my PSO to the Brunswick meeting in Denver before release and they spent 3 full hours one day showing them exactly how to drill this ball. I suggest drilling another using the guide and watch and see how much of a difference it actually makes. Check out some of my Heckler videos. I think I have 4 or 5 on it over the last month or so. Drilled that way, I can actually strike from 10 aiming at 8 all the way across every channel as far left as 45 on fresh oil. Even was using from 25 aiming between 10 and 15 on a burned down lane. I have a 300 on fresh oil in league and a 299 and 279 on burned lanes with the one I drilled using their guide.

just got mine today, i absolutely love it there’s more space in it than i know what to do with. for everyone asking what the inside looks like, there’s 3 cups to hold the bowling balls and velcro straps on the sides and the tops to hold the balls in place. the spare ball pocket and the shoes pocket share the same space. i wear a size 13 in bowling shoes and there’s still plenty of room for a bigger size, at least up to a 15. it’s a beautiful bag in person and it definitely feels like quality

Can i pair this with the optimum idol pearl was told it would be a good 1-2 punch

Which is stronger, the ion max or the Origin?

Any other Recommendations for lefties? I want something to handle oil a touch better than my Sublime (only other balls are Venom Shock and Purple Urethane) but as a No Thumb lefty i feel the Rush might be wonky for me

Where would this fit in an Arsenal ? Ball down from the ion max ?

this core can be drilled to be a low-diff tour ball with diff in the 30's with a low pin-CoG, or a high-diff high-intermediate ball with a tall pin-CoG like the one you demo'ed. The difference between the values when you change the finger location is major!

I'm a new bowler with little to no rev because I mostly stay behind the ball. I want to learn how to release a ball properly and increase my rev over time. What ball should I look to buy?

How does this compare with The one reverb? Would they both fit in a bag?

Do you think it's because you drilled it differently than your usual drilling

Have thrown this the last week or so. Probably my most trusted ball in the bag right now.
