Between all the bowling yt guys, as many times as i have heard "Ball Of The Year" and its not even June yet. we still got more balls coming in the next 6 months. at least 2 to 3 more "Balls of the Year"
As a two handed bowler it's super dope to see Chris out here.. Just to see how he rolls, how he plays and how he matches up with balls..it's nice to use him as a 2 handed reference.. Great video tang! 🖤
Ion Pro looks a lot like my Motiv Black Venom. Benchmark is the ball that one throws to get a feel for the pattern that is in front of them, then you can decide to ball up, down, or stay.
I almost forgot Chris was doing Twitch. Chris explaining ball motion on this video reminds me of when he talked bowling on his Twitch channel. He explains about as good as you Dtang. Great perspective from both of you.
The definition Chris gave for "benchmark" ball is the definition for "versatile" ball. This ball is uber-versatile. It is also truly benchmark: i.e., the ball you throw first out of the bag to get a read for the lane condition, and decide things you'll need for the condition, like ball speed, cover strength, down lane motion, miss room at the break point. When this ball matches up with all of those, or most of them, throw it. Otherwise, go up or down your cover strength scale and core combos until you're close, then fine tune the speed and type of roll/amount of axis rotation. By all means, correct me if I'm wrong.
Just got my Ion Pro and love it to death! I just kept going left and no problem with loss of energy and was soo forgiveable if missed a little bit right or left.
Cool video talk tech bowling ball storm ion pro bowling ball with Ai technology in the bowling ball more strikes and spares hitting power at times Darren tang
The only way to know if it the truly the best benchmark ball is to compare with another bowling with the same RG, Diff and ASY with the same surface and layout. Buy doing the true comparison would the differences in weight blocks.
I still like my IQ Tour Ruby but I could be convinced to add this one to my "arsenal." The local house shot is weaker than a solid five pin. It doesn't need much ball to score.
I mean, I know this is a couple of the best bowlers in the world atm, but damn that ball looks hella good. I've been looking for that smooth early roll that isn't too strong. Like a beefed up IQ Tour Ruby, this seems like the ticket. May have to go see Mikey sooner than I anticipated.
I threw Ion Pro at Storms first demo this ball was available 3 weeks ago, I saw everything Darren and Chris mentioned with it. Ordered it immediately, and it will be here Tuesday before league, and I cannot wait! I was looking for a stronger ball for the fresh, and by the time my demo came up lanes were starting to see some burn, kept moving deep and it found the hold and came to the pocket every time. Definitely seems like the new benchmark of benchmarks, and then some.
I was thinking I didnt want this ball because it sounded like it would just be another tour dynamx (which i have and like). but now i want one after seeing this video.
Kinda have a similar question, I am looking at this as I have a Pi, OPT, eternity, and summit peak. Just retired my iq tour and reality/reality check and looking to replace my tour and reality and I’m thinking this might be perfect!
I feel like a benchmark ball is a ball in the middle of the bag that is predictable and allows you to get a good read on the lanes. Almost every style really likes the Attention Star, but I wouldn't consider that benchmark.
Best Bowling Ball of 2024 until they release another ball 3 months from now. This is a complete joke. You are a fool if you fall into all this ball hype.
I can’t understand why the IQ tour is still around. One of the worst balls I have ever used. I struggled an entire season to find a spot to use it because everyone said it was a fantastic ball. Got it redrilled and same trash. I was actually excited when it finally cracked last week.
I mean not every ball is for every bowler so just because you don’t like it (which is normal and doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you or something) doesn’t mean there aren’t a bunch of other people who do to the point that it’s still around
@@chuckbaughman6337 funny I did win a tournament that I cashed out at $5500. Have you done that? You cashed at the national tournament? I have every year I've bowled it. Darren Tang has more talent than I will ever have. I want that kid to win so bad , it makes me sad that he hasn't won on tour yet.
Darren be like: "I don't like talking up Bowling Balls..." yet the title of this video is "..... THE BEST BOWLING BALL OF 2024" 🤣
I think it's just because of the spot it fits. It's a ball that could likely go in any bag for any conditions
Bruh they’re on staff, they basically have to.
Wait until next week’s vid when this ball is forgotten.
This title has been reused countless times😂
Darren's probably trolling us
Oh no not ANOTHER ball of the year. That’s 12 and is only 1st of June!

Thanks Chris for the explanation of 'benchmark'. I've always been confused about that term attached to bowling balls.
2 ball videos in a day??? This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

I like watching both of you in ball videos. It's kinda refreshing
man, when that ball turns over a few feet from the pins, it dives so hard at the pocket.
Back to back 2 videos in a single day nice
I almost forgot Chris was doing Twitch. Chris explaining ball motion on this video reminds me of when he talked bowling on his Twitch channel. He explains about as good as you Dtang. Great perspective from both of you.
Nice video Darren. I can't help but notice the amount of 9 pins being left since Gold Coast went to the GSX pinsetters a number of years ago.
Thanks Chris for the explanation of BENCHMARK. My personal benchmark for quite awhile was a Revenant. I could go up or down from there.
2 bowling ball vids today nice
Yeah tang new vid
Looking good Darren. Looks lkke your trying to smooth out that hitch.
"just set the bar low so we can just keep crushing it year after year"😆
Definitely seeing the strength with where it is exiting even after all that moving in front of the return. Looks great 👍

Got to meet Darren at The Orleans today🎉
A million cuts in this huh 😂😂. Chris talks alot doesn't he lol
Just got my Ion Pro and love it to death! I just kept going left and no problem with loss of energy and was soo forgiveable if missed a little bit right or left.
Dang, that red guy in the back was there for both videos today lol
Awesome
Cool video talk tech bowling ball storm ion pro bowling ball with Ai technology in the bowling ball more strikes and spares hitting power at times Darren tang
Chris Via is spot on regarding bench mark ball.
that Ion is 🔥💪🏼
What specs allow the ball to hook like that?
Would love to see a comparison ION and Attention Star
I would love that since I already have and love the Attention Star
I'd be interested with the phaze 2 as well

the best STORM bowling ball for 2024. Hammer has some excellent balls for 2024
What size bowling ball should I get
How does it compare to Xponent?
Sounds like ion pro is similar to Xponent more?
What's it smell like?
What about if you throw down the 2 Arrow?

Are you gonna be at the open championship tournament in Vegas in a week or so
Golf vlog when?

is it a pearl? what is it

What finger pitchess do each of you use? You lightly mentioned they're different, but just curious what you guys actually use.
Where would this ball fit between Harsh reality, Opt. Idol Zen and Attention star
Kinda have a similar question, I am looking at this as I have a Pi, OPT, eternity, and summit peak. Just retired my iq tour and reality/reality check and looking to replace my tour and reality and I’m thinking this might be perfect!
How much stronger is this compared with the IQ tour
I still love the Rubicon UC3 for games 2 and 3 in league. Maybe this will replace it.
Once that ball hits the pocket it shoots inside so fast also
You should name this one Agent DDT... 😜
Woohoooo
Hello
When does team usa bowl, or is the trials that darren won the end of it?
Got to change Darren's Stats when he's bowling 2 Handed. His Rev Rate has to be 450 ish 😅 or higher
I thought OOB it was too strong down lane to be a benchmark ball. Adding surface made it more usable for me. Phase 2 still the GOAT.
Why isnt Mikey your doubles partner?!?!
because Mikey has a baby. and he said personally he is going to want to focus on being a father more than bowling rn lol.
@@84-Po-209 👍
I my getting this one because I need a stronger bowling ball because I am a two hander
W VID

Chris vi
Bowling balls are like iPhones. I be like “I want this” and then it’s like …yea I’ll just wait. I’ll get the next great one in 6 months
So can i have this ball and iq tour solid and my 900 global xponent?
These guys are robots. 🤖
i wonder how much storm is paying them for the hype
I bowld a 300
Every ball you get you say it’s the bomb or ball of the year.
So this is not a ball for me cause I only throw 13 mph lol
If you love bowling, you'll either have
Ion pro
Or
Eye on pros
🤷♂️
Every dimension of the ball but the weight.
Best Bowling Ball of 2024 until they release another ball 3 months from now. This is a complete joke. You are a fool if you fall into all this ball hype.
6/10/2024 - watched this again as suggested. Thanks vitamin_dtang
venom shock better

@@tonitovarona8487agreed! I love my IQ tour but I only use it in certain situations it's not something I use all the time
Ok. Enough.
You bowling two handed now?
Is that the goal? Or just for fun?
Or....like Simo. Inventing new options.
He needs to improve for others especially beginners..not for him to show how good you are with the balls...?
woah IM EARLY
Best ball ever is proton physix
No
Why n9t just throw the ball tang
STOP DOING THAT IN THE TITLE!!!!!!!!
8 seconds ago? am i first
Didn’t age well imho
how about winning an actual tournament before you post a ball video.
Meanwhile he would house you
@@chuckbaughman6337 funny I did win a tournament that I cashed out at $5500. Have you done that? You cashed at the national tournament? I have every year I've bowled it. Darren Tang has more talent than I will ever have. I want that kid to win so bad , it makes me sad that he hasn't won on tour yet.
