I have a very low rev rate (175-200) (and yes I’m trying my hardest to improve that) and I’m wondering if this is a good ball for me? I throw my ball about 15mph
I'd actually suggest the Sure Lock over this one, this one is a lot of hook but is pretty smooth, the Sure Lock hooks even a bit more plus has some extra pop on the backend to help you out.
If you don't already know, the sure lock is more on the back end whereas the NRE is more smooth. Both are excellent heavy oil pieces, while the sure lock is stronger, I perfer the NRE
What lane condition does this prefer? I currently have a Snap Lock and a Lock. This ball has been recommended as my next ball. I bowl on medium to light oil conditions league condition.
It's a heavy oil ball, but if you have high speed and/or a low rev rate, you can use it on lighter conditions. If it's been recommended to you by someone who knows how you bowl, I'd trust they are giving you a good recommendation. Especially if you can handle the Snap Lock and Lock, you should be able to handle this one.
So i recently moved up in weight to 15lbs. I have a motiv jackal le , Code red and a motiv tank rampage. I am looking for 2-3 balls to fill out the bag. I am lower tilt with decent rotation. 16.5mph at the break point. I get to throw Asymmetrical a lot. I am looking at show off, no rules exists, motiv forza ss, trident, (in 14lbs i had a sure lock no rules pearl DD trick so i am pretty familiar with them but with worse #'s (rg/diff) than 15lbs. Any suggestions of what 3 balls to add to cover as much sport shot as I can. I am averaging 193 for sport shot with the 14lbs i threw for 9 weeks and my 15lbs i threw for 2 weeks during summer sport shot league.
David Haney Definitely would get another Trick. A Hustle Ink taken to 2000 I think would shock the shiatsu out of you. Show Off is a great choice when you need to get left but still need traction.
The thing is i really hate my current 14lb trick. If i could throw my trick due to strong cover I could throw my surelock and create a little more angle down lane for better carry. When my surelock would start to burn up I couldnt step down in the stronger cover trick. Id have to go to NRP or eternal cell box or a code red.. Trick was like a niche ball for me.
David Haney Angle isn't what you want on sport. 15 Trick has a significantly lower RG, would likely be quite a different reaction. I don't want to talk you into anything though. No Rules Exist may be a good compromise though.
Alex Sayan That's tough, none of them really act like the Eternal. This one WOULD be the closest, but it takes some serious cover work to shine it that much. I tried polishing over the box finish and didn't get anywhere really. Will likely have to go 3k, 4k, then hit it hard with polish. No Rules is too clean, Sure Lock way too snappy.
Hi Luke yes the person who has recommend this as my next ball know's my shot they have drilled all my balls. I have low rev's. I live in Brisbane Australia.
Adam Atkins The Hot Cell actually got pushed back to September for release because everything is so popular right now they can't keep up. Good problem to have, but will be another month before I have access to it.
Not quite. They look the same going down the lane until they hit the backend, then the Sure Lock takes off and this one kinda walks in. I think that's a good thing though, Sure Lock is too bouncy for as much as it hooks.
Nice... New Roto stuff is looking pretty dang good so far.. Excited to check out the Hot Cell as well, wouldn't mind adding another red ball to the bag. Would look good beside the Code Red haha.
CleSwag24 The No Rules Pearl is a beast. So disappointed in myself that I didn't throw it at the Storm/RG Demo Day but I was trying to decide between the Code Red and Code Black and I ran out of time.
luke other than the hyroad pearl what are the other two bowlingballs that are your favorite to throw

Luke Rosdahl ok thank you! I’m also looking at some motiv balls but I know you don’t really review those.
Virginian Yeah, I’m on staff with Storm, so just Storm and Roto stuff for me.
Luke, what is the difference between the "No Rules Exist" and the "Sure Lock"
If you don't already know, the sure lock is more on the back end whereas the NRE is more smooth. Both are excellent heavy oil pieces, while the sure lock is stronger, I perfer the NRE

If I wanted to almost "recreate" the eternal cell, would you think it would be better to buy this or the no rules and polish it up?
Or the sure lock with polish?

Luke Rosdahl thanks for your help! Eternal is my 2nd all time favorite so trying to recreate it without buying a NIB one for an arm and a leg

Ben Cool, sounds good. Always wanted to visit Australia!

Luke Rosdahl thanks
Stronger than the Sure Lock or nah??

So you think this with polish is like a better no rules pearl?

CJ Cobb I gave my code black away ..absolutly hated it , it was way too long n never turned the corner in time unless I babied it out there
luke you say put some Polish on it
It didn't look so great for me with polish, it could be different for you, but I took it right back to box.
