I would love to see a throwback review of the Phaze II. I know it's been around forever, but there's so much good information in your brand comparisons and arsenal recommendations, it would be awesome to see.
Ben, really learn from and enjoy your commentations on the bowling balls you demo. Understanding what and why these balls react as they do is easy with your statements. Got a question, what type or specific bowling ball would you recommend for lanes with medium oil conditions and hardly any backends? Don't know why or how but heavy hooking balls don't drive thru unless they are thrown at high speeds. Your suggestions are really welcome and appreciated, thanks.
Great, concise review without all the fluff and bullshit. Good comparisons, even between other brands, in addition to SPI's Optimum Idol Pearl. Good stuff.
Hey Ben, thanks for the video. How do you think this ball compares to the IQ Ruby pearl? I really like the idea of pairing this with my Phaze II, but if don't want to grab it if it's too similar to the Ruby (like the Optimum Idol). Thanks!
I’m trying to rebuild my arsenal, does this sound good as a rev dominant bowler ? Harsh reality, Attention star, phaze 2, phaze ai, lighting blackout, spare ball.
That's a tough one. I think there's a chance that could lock you out of certain parts of the lane if they're your only options, but in a league setting, they'd probably work pretty well for most bowlers.
@bowlersparadise2255 i do have a Summit as well. But I also have an Ion Max. But that ball is too early for any house conditions.. Which I do only bowl on house, or a Modified House.
Longer Pin to PAP distance will cause the ball to start up later, so it will make a touch of a difference, but not much more than what most bowlers can do when they adjust their ball roll.
Would it make sense to have the Phaze AI and the Brunswick Beyond Infinity in the same league arsenal build for a Rev dominant bowler? I have a feeling a weaker sym pearl would be a better pairing with the Beyond Infinity. Thoughts?
There’s definitely SOME overlap, but not a ton. Those two fit different places on an arsenal, and if you replaced the Harsh Reality Pearl with an Attention Star, that would also make for a solid 3 ball arsenal.
I was nowhere near a fan of the Phaze V personally, and I think this is a much better option, but I also wouldn't carry both if I already had a good look with the Phaze 5. This would be better as a replacement for that piece than one to add alongside.

Another good one, Ben. I liked seeing the Gold Rush go down the lane for a couple shots as well. Phaze AI is Awesome indeed
Glad you enjoyed it Don! Be well my friend!
Love the videos. I can't wait for the blue balls.
Coming Soon! Gotta get that one right!
@bowlersparadise2255 for sure. It'll be worth the wait

I can dig it. I’d consider replacing the lightning with an iQ tour ruby, but that would be about it.
"That black and white sucks!" Good stuff
I did giggle a little after saying that to be honest lol
I'm ordering a Phaze 2, but also pre-ordering the A.I. would these pair well the ION Pro? since the Ion has the TX16 Hybrid?

do you think this ball would be a good 1-2 punch with my optimum idol (solid); i also have an attention star
I do!
How much of a difference does a 4.5x4x4 layout make compared to a 4x4x4, which I use on pretty much all my pieces now?
Longer Pin to PAP distance will cause the ball to start up later, so it will make a touch of a difference, but not much more than what most bowlers can do when they adjust their ball roll.

I think those two could play well together. Going to be good in the same part of the lane, but should get through the pins in a much different way.
Whats your thought on the AI vs. the Raptor rush? Both pearls and symmetrical
Was there something missing from the cross brand comp in this video that you’re curious about?
So is there overlap with the Attention Star? Do they complement?
There’s definitely SOME overlap, but not a ton. Those two fit different places on an arsenal, and if you replaced the Harsh Reality Pearl with an Attention Star, that would also make for a solid 3 ball arsenal.
Is there a big enough difference between Phaze AI and Phaze V to keep both in a league bag?
I was nowhere near a fan of the Phaze V personally, and I think this is a much better option, but I also wouldn't carry both if I already had a good look with the Phaze 5. This would be better as a replacement for that piece than one to add alongside.
Peace ✌️

Looks same like the peak.
I don't think this and the peak are really even close to each other to be honest. The peak is much more like the Raptor Rush IMO.
