The Xponent pearl is a monster! House shot killer!
FACTS!!!
I love my absolute power. Im planning to add an attention star to my arsenal soon. Thanks for the video!
No problem!
The placement of the flower on the front bottom of that jersey! ......*giggle
I like how your xponent pearl is 3/4 black with the blue part in the center. I think that is a awesome pour pattern.
Thanks!! Me too!
I am very new to the sport of bowling. Great video and very helpful! I currently have a phase 2, probably going to end up with an attention star very soon.
Appreciate the shoutout brother! Keep up the great work!
Any time! You’re killing it with that ball
Best explanation for a league bag on TH-cam. Thank you showing why bowlers need these options instead of suggesting to buy bowling balls. As a lower rev 2 hander I bag:
Black Venom
VIP Sigma
Hustle Rip
I keep my speed slow but I like using all kinds of speeds and releases.
I appreciate that!
Enjoyed the video and great meeting you when I was bowling Nationals on the weekend of March 2/3/4.
Same here! I bowl this week
As a lefty stroker I go with Absolute power, Sublime, and Xponent pearl .
I'm a lefty stroker as well... I've been utilizing pin down Parallax Effect and Night road on drier conditions, and pin up Clone and Summit Peak on heavier conditions
For me I bowl on old wood on the burn from what is left from the league 2 hours before mine and I can have the hyroad x, badger , IQ tour emerald, dark code , ebi overseas magenta urethane hammer, 2016 forest green quantum, quantum leap, short pin balls like a 1 inch to a 1/2 inch pin layout and my favorite is sanded plastic and everyone hates it especially the Lefty's throwing reactive and urethane. But I score well with spi balls more then motiv and Brands of Brunswick combined.
Sublime is such a sleeper ball
I have never drilled a pin down before, just curious how it works for you ?@@yukiinglis4948
Yes it is! I put a 2000 grit on it, and it"s the 1st ball out of my bag.@@LuisNapoles
Loved the video. I wish i could throw the ball like u. I don’t understand why ppl be hating on ur game. It looks good to me. Keep making great videos. 👍
Me neither but it’s okay! Let them hate!
Luis, such shots where your ball isn't matched up well with the lane (due to lack of transition) makes for excellent study footage for many of us typical house bowlers - it helps us capture the nuances of our ball motion, understand the mechanics at play (from your commentary), and to learn how to adjust. So please don't apologize for these shots that look bad, it makes for great learning! Thank you for putting out these videos consistently! ❤
I'm thinking of getting a magic gem (low flare layout) to complement my ZGL as the zen struggles on the fresh/flats sometimes.
I appreciate that feedback! Really means a lot to me when deciding what videos to put out!
I am a lefty I like to stand middle and play down an in wile I can we have high friction on outside my arsenal is typically exponent then reality check then xponent pearl
Nice!!
Hell yeah, i feel like i caused this video lol!
I know most house shots are different, but i think the bigger asyms are going to be better because they allow more room to miss for the typical league bowlers. Right now in my bag for league that starts in a few weeks i have a Harsh Reality, Zen Gold, and IQ Ruby. In my other bag if i need them, I have a Summit, Summit Peak, and VEBO. My house likes to flood with oil and there are quite a few "old timers" in the league, and many in the league throw only urethane so i was trying to build my bags based on the high volume oil house as well as different pairs i may be up against causing different transition times and different shapes during the transitions.
Overall, love the video.
You might have! 😂
I didn't have any options below my Zen the other night and I paid the price. Now I'm bringing a Raw Hammer or Ruby to league in addition to my Infinite Physix and Zen.
That’s a solid arsenal ‘
Both look good, I mean depending on what you see in practice can prob judge which to start with. I like to have a little fun w my league arsenal, so right now I’m actually in the process of retiring my 3 league balls, which were a Reality Dark Night, Black Idol Pearl, and a 1500 grit Idol Cosmos. Replacing them with a Gold Idol Pearl, Physix Inspire, and the new Optimum Idol. The Idol line has become my all time favorite line, as you can obviously see, so I was happy to see them release the Optimum.
Yea practice will determine everything
I think you’ve mentioned that you were working on your physical game recently but it’s looking improved in this video for sure. I noticed right away it looked different but not sure what it is specifically. 👍🏻
Thanks so much!!! So much to work out!
Hey Luis! My league bag is currently 4 balls - Phaze 2 / Duo / Hustle M-M / Pitch Black. I like to shape it into the pocket, but if I am shooting for score, I just cut my angles and chuck my Pitch Black straight down the 4 board. Urethang on everythang!
NICE!!!
Just drilled sublime and attention star. Looking forward to Tues night league... now to find that new solid to replace axiom
Hope you love them!
My current 3 ball league bag is
a Phase 2, RST-X2, and an IQ emerald.
Emerald is soooo good
THS varies from house to house. For heavier patterns I throw Sublime, Vebo, Journey/Xponent. For the standard volume I throw Vebo, Journey, Absolute. For light oil I throw Journey, Xponent, Absolute. And for the bullshit at my home center, I throw Purple hammer, Journey, Xponent
Smart choices!
Optimum idol/hy-road and a purple hammer for when there is a ton of under over
I like that idea!
The Sublime got so short changed last year! Just bought one. It impressed me way more than every other ball at the MatchMaker live event. Journey was a close second.
Other balls:
Optimum Idol
Attention Star
Summit Peak
Harsh Reality
Absolute Power
DNA Coil
Nice vid dude! I'm rollin with Magic Gem, Hammer ExtremeEnvy, BW hybrid 2.0 ... but I'm thinking of a Symmetrical ball but can't decide (I'm a lefty) 🤷🏾
Hmmmmmm maybe an Xponent pearl!
Luis how are you? Great video question for you. Would you apply these tips when it comes to building an arsenal when you are bowling open play? Also, what about sport shots and depended on the sports shots plus ever going to an actual tournament? If you may be able to do a similar video to this with a different variation of patterns and situations that be great. Take care thank you again.
Yes!
Love the video! I was fortunate enough to get a Alpha Crux this season off a friend who didnt match up with it. It replaced my Reality which was a little too much with our higher ratio. Then i still love my Altered Reality and Hy-Road Pearl at the bottom of my bag. Been a nice combination
I miss that ball so much!
Love the video Luis!
Thanks!!!
I got a Roto Gem & Storm Journey. Still deciding on that 3rd
Xponent pearl !!
@@LuisNapoles 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Just started bowling and learning. I will join a league or two next year and try tournaments. I’m thinking Venom Shock, Primal Shock, and Sniper (spare). Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Good stuff !
I’d prefer the Optimum Idol over the Absolute Power
That’s good!
Good morning Luis Napoles
Hello Chrstopher! 👋
@@user-gt1wr1vh3i how are you doing this afternoon
Hello!
@@user-gt1wr1vh3i how are you doing today
@@LuisNapoles how are you doing today
What do we need to do for you to do a Nationals practice session so we can see what to bring? That would be awesome even though I know the front house plays different we can get an idea...
They won’t let me film the practice session 😭😭
Brotha we need a comparison video between the Idol and the Tour Dynamx. Make it so, #1 lol
I might make that happen!
Wrap 10's the move is usually to the right (for right hand bowlers).
That would be incorrect
@LuisNapoles Wrap 10's happen because the ball isn't slowing down in time. Moving into more oil doesn't slow the 0:32 ball down or you would have pushed 10 back. th-cam.com/video/BQM56rNj_D8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lGDKLIP2sMhcvyZc
I do also have a phaze2 and iq tour emerald and a reality uc3 purple hammer and fate
Nice!
Luis, really like this type of video. Appreciate hearing the logic and reasoning behind the decisions. Wondering what your thoughts are on the Harsh Reality as a 1st ball option, and whether the Sublime might be an alternative to the Exponent Pearl.
Harsh will just depend on the volume of oil you're experiencing and your game~!
When I have to get right and really open up my angels the xponent pearl and reality check are home runs
It’s a good one!!!
Love this video would the orginal zen be close to xponnet pearl or is the zen stronger than that
Zen is stronger. More diff and much stronger cover
ruby iq, black venom and old rst x1 polished. I keep trying to get the Xponent solid to work for me, but lanes I play at just don't have enough oil to make it work.
Oh wow!
Have you tried the Absolute power or Attention star pin down?
Last Thursday i had a two handed lefty on my line using URETHANE 😢. He took me out of my Nova immediately and it was too early for the Gold Label. My eternity DIED out of nowhere and i am now in need of a middle of the bag ball. So would i do better with the new Idol, Phaze 2 or a different ball. I am a lefty stroker who really uses hand positioning over speed on my release. I bowled awful due to lack of proper equipment for sure.
Really enjoyed this. Two ball challenge in summer is the attention star and xponet pearl so can’t wait to get them and throw them. Thinking of pin down on one of them probably the star Pso says we will talk about it before drilling. Your thoughts
Thanks Larry!
I have a paragon track phase 2 and rhino are those good three
You mentioned when to switch to the next ball in the bag, but what would be your suggestions on how to line up with the next ball. Is it comfortability with the next ball? Same line and see how it reacts (as examples).
Oh yea so for me I usually stay in the same area that I was at with the previous ball
2hander here. Plastic up 10 is highly underrated and over hated
Yes and yes haha
URETHANE ON TEAM OR DBLS/SINGS AT NATIONALS
YES
pretty vague@@LuisNapoles
Cool video talk tech bowling ball Luis napples
Thanks!
My 6 balk is summit, black widow 2.0 hybrid, idol cosmos, revenant (depening on house i use a hussle ink) , purple hammer, and a white dot. If I have to only bring 3 I'm going summit idol cosmos and spare ball
Nice!
At the bottom of my bag I'm still pulling out the Hustle Camo. If the lane conditions fit I've never thrown a more consistent ball for my game.
It a gooooood one if you have enough friction
How do you feel about the Zen Gold Label for league?
GREAT ball for the burn
@Luis, I still rock some older equipment (Omega Crux, Parallax, Phaze III, etc.) and most 4-man and 5-man league nights I never transition out of the bigger balls. This might sound like a godsend for some bowlers, but honestly, I feel guilty for bringing so many balls to league and not using them. I feel like picking up some of the newer releases, but at the same time I don't want to abandon my tried and true pieces. Is this a normal feeling? Have you or anyone you know ever experienced this? Do you have any ideas for which new releases will compliment an Omega Crux or even a Zen? Thanks.
Don't get new stuff just because you feel obligated to do so! If you're current arsenal is working then stick with hit!
I unknowingly assembled a 900 global arsenal: Eternity Pi, Sublime, Xponent Pearl. I think I will hit Sublime with 3k. I haven’t decided if I want to break the box finish on the XP. Thinking 4/5k surface
Honestly a good arsenal!
any opinion for layouts for arsenal? I'm upper 300's revs, slightly speed dominant, but not much (19 off hand, read on monitor around 16.5 for speed). transition ball further, closer, or the same for pin to PAP? Any layout difference between assym and symmetric for arsenal?
I always recommend that surface is WAY more important that layout. Find a few decent layouts and play with surface
How do you see the Sublime fitting in this three-ball sequence? It is too much out-of-box for the first ball? If not, what if it had a little surface? Or do you see it better as the second ball? Thanks!
If you knock the shine off it can be a great option for the fresh!
@@LuisNapoles Thank you so much! You are now (by far) my favorite bowling ball and lane play resource...
Im a higher rev player so i typically have a Phaze 2, !Q Tour Solid, and a Track Tundra Fire for the burn.
Good stuff !!
i have a gem and phaze v right now, want to play my first league soon what ball do you think im missing in my bag? i was thinking either phaze 2 or the new idol
!Q Tour Solid for sure
👍🏼
👍👍
How many balls do you take to league?
I usually take 2 3 ball bags with me
Summit hype is over.
Nah its still a tank
It’s still a really good ball
hey LUIS for my 4 ball league arsenal i use my tropical surg. defender. exotic gem. knock out. pitch black is this a good start for a THS ?
👍👊✌🖖
Thanks!!
