Great advice regarding hitting it with some surface. I have a Teal Rhino Pro that jist wasn't turning the corner and was coming in light. I git it with some surface and got better results this past week. Hoping to repeat the shots I was making in game three last week as I felt I was consistently hitting the pocket flush. Had a couple of tough 7 pins. But I was happy about being consistent.

Love the video, my tilt is naturally low or track near thumb and been trying to do the opposite ( your before shot ). Nice Video ! Thanks

Did you change your layout with the new track location?

Bought an Effect to transition from the Widow 3.0. So far, it’s great on light conditions. But I can’t get it to flip when the lanes transition. Should I be playing more in the oil or stay where I left off with the Widow? Not are drilled about the same except the Widow had a 4.5 inch buffer while the Effect has a 5 inch buffer. Thanks in advance.

I think the flaring is more related to drilling/core position than cover..

I am struggling with this. I learn it that way with lots of axis tilt 10-15 years ago and stuck a habit with it until now. When I don’t axis tilt, I tend to not cup the ball and it forward rolls and the ball goes straighter, with less revs too. I am gonna try this method and see if changes anything. But I can see that it strains the wrist less and more efficient during bottom swing to hold briefcase style.

ok this is good information; I've been struggling with the same issue and for the longest time. I did not understand what was going on, I was feeling like all my equipment was hooking too much and I could not understand why, so now I do like you say, I keep the index finger close to the middle finger and spread the pinky out a little and when I release, I'm focusing on staying more under the ball and I really just let the ball roll off the hand without any turn knowing that the ball will hook on its own, and its been working out much better with good predictable smooth ball motion.

Suitecase release I use when bowl on house pattern😀😀😀😀

Thank you so much for sharing I am a low track bowler and I am excited to try it tomorrow

My track is always closer to my fingers and farther from my thumb. Not sure what that means. I also am more up the back of the ball but mine don't do what yours is doing i think because I'm not as much under the ball. I also have 20 tilt with 35 rotations. I'm definitely going to work on these drills more than what I have. Great video

Awesome video. My coaching videos please

What about if you need to rotate the ball as you move far left? More axis rotation. That should not effect your track?

I just figured this out last week. Thank you

Thank you ! This is so helpful.

What you are saying is true. Axis rotation isn't always bad. It there is dry boards to the right you get some extra area to the right. The trick is to increase or decrease rotation when it is called for.

Thank you! That was great! Very helpful.

Valerie, it would be nice to see how you hold your ball in the beginning of your stance and then how you turn it back like you said to be behind it and then your full release with the full approach maybe even slow motion… can you do that? That’s what I’m trying to do which is not have so much tilt.

Thank you! Great video

I have one. I just recently got my wife a bowling gauntlet. A robbie rev 3. She's having difficulties using it. She wants to suitcase it, but ends up holding onto the ball for too long and the ball ends up spinning 120 degrees (Backwards). I'm trying to get her to come up the back of it, but she feels defeated. Might be a topic to touch on, how to use one.

Nice video. I’ve never been able to read the lanes like that. Never figured out how to read the front part of the lanes. I’ve always figured if my ball is hooking to much just go to something that hooks less instead of what it’s doing in the front part of the lanes.

Skill and accuracy is off the charts with this shot.. well done girl 👏

I love mine Great ball

New Subscriber Alert!! I absolutely love everything about your game. You deserve more titles!! Keep up the good work Valerie ❤❤

Thanks for the info and I love the outfit.

Have bowledfor over 40 years and I can't get my ball to curve like that how the hell do you do it

Nice video. I didn’t realize the widow was that strong. I just purchased a Mesmerize, haven’t thrown it yet.

Good ball comparison! Was wondering if you could compare the BW 3.0 with the BW 2.0 hybrid. Thanks Valerie!

I could watch you bowl❤ all day love ya stay pretty

I liked this review but I still want to see the Strike and the Sting comparison. Both Scorpion line made by Hammer. They seem very similar to me in shape but I haven't seen anyone compare the two. Nice work Val. Keep it up.

I really need that hammer effect, great video.

Very smooth controlled bowler! You know your game & equipment well! When I started bowling in 80s, top balls were amf angle, columbia red dot & brunswick rhino which just came out of the factory! I guit bowling in 2012 & reactive was the ball of choice by any brand. Watching you bowl & hearing your assessment of the ball is qualified! Very good bowler! Aloha

Nice balls!🎳😂 All of them! Though I’m partial to the Hammer Effect 💪🏻!

👍👍👍👍👍👍

clean ass swing

I would've rather seen the Theorem than Hazmat

So the Effect to me is very niche so this just tells me to stay away from the Vaporize lol. i haven't really matched up with the effect i just put some surface on it and now it reads like 5 ft earlier lol

Thank you for doing this comparison, I have been contemplating these 2 balls but unsure what to get. My first ball out of the bag is the 3.0. Thank you

Awesome comparison video! I can't wait until next weekend when I hopefully pick up my Effect from my PSO. If he drills it as well and pain free as he did my Trouble Maker Pearl, then I'm in for a great bowling experience.

Good 3 ball arsenal

Great video, Valerie! Love seeing the comparison between these balls, and have the Effect and the Hazmat Hybrid. I think the Widow 2.0 Hybrid is very close to the Hazmat Hybrid.

Would you say that the biggest difference between a asymmetrical and symmetrical is how far left you can go? I ask because I have a Hazmat and I struggle with that ball. I changed the surface, I adjusted my speed, etc and I can’t get it to work for me at all. Yet, with my widow 2.0 hybrid I have success in the same exact spots that my hazmat struggles in. 21/22 in my average starting position and I feel comfortable throwing my 2.0 hybrid from there already out to 30. I stay right and try to bowl straight, or I move left I still struggle with my Hazmat. Aside from being symmetrical vs asymmetrical both the hazmat and 2.0 hybrid are similar balls, so I don’t why I can’t get figure it out

Nice video. I was thinking about getting the Effect or Vaporize. From some of the other videos I’ve seen it looks like the Vaporize might be a little more over under than the Effect. Good job.

I'd love to get the Hammer Effect. Its an homage ball to a video game franchise (unofficially) called Mass Effect .... that my wife makes! My entire league team are from the video game studio Bioware, except me. They were really jazzed when that ball was released.

How do these 2 balls compare to the hammer effect as well as the summit ascent? Thank you.

@bowlwithVALue drinks on me

@bowlwithVALue u ever been with a Spanish guy?

Beautiful, oh sorry, nice throw ❤ Princess 🎉 Enjoy your day

Jopo thumbs will change your life.

Good viedo. I have the low flare. I like it. Better on sport patterns. Then I do on house shots. In fairness though. If a bowling ball thrown by me, and a snail had a race. The snail would probably win.😃 Also I don't think the center I bowl my house leauge in believes in oil.🙄 Not really a good sign when I'm actually bowling better in my sport shot leauage. Even if it is a different center.

I love the 9" of total flare I get out of the scorpion low flare. The ball is a beast. I'll use it on anything. Lofting gutters or playing up 2. But I ordered a strike to compliment the low flare when the miss room isn't quite there.
