I went up a few weeks ago. I brought the Harsh Reality, original Idol Solid, iQ 78U, Honeybadger Extreme Blow pearl, Hustle Chili solid & Mix. Overall I was satisfied with what I brought up with me. They all had good looks at various times. Only change I may have done is bring up an Attention Star & swap with the Harsh Reality. I think the Idol may have been enough as my #1 ball out of the bag.
Best of luck out there. Of all of the balls you mentioned, I have none of them. It's ok though as I highly doubt there are going to be too many Ebonite Clear Werewolf bowling balls out there as their spare ball. ;)
Speaking of the Tank Rampage, I'm hoping that you are doing a review soon. I'm trying to determine if this ball will work well on burnt up lanes for a bowler with slow speed, high rev bowler...especially when the other surfaces are visiting a certain city in the state of New York.
imo you're very lucky you have people driving and able to take that ruby for you. all your other choices are big balls and will be difficult to use at the end of blocks. good luck!
I need balls that slow down when I get left lol. I'm going to end up lofting it to the arrows most likely, and I tend to tear on it when I have to do that.
I have the exact opposite issue with the hater. When the surface gets filled and lane shined it doesnt look good and loses shape yet when I add the oob surface it is amazing always comes back if i get it to the spot or slight miss outs.
I bowled this weekend, and I mainly used the Venom Shock, Purple Hammer, and Track Archetype. Shot 1691 all events. Used the Venom Shock in team mainly and did great. Tried to use the purple for D/S for atleast a game, but that was a bad idea, but the Archetype saved me. The MVP ball was my spare ball because i could not strike much😂😂
I’m a 425rpm 16mph 2hander with low axis tilts Can you give me some advice for my arsenal? I got Archetype / BW ghost pearl / kinetic black ice / arctic vibe / teal rhino pro /Thrill pearl
2009 Need some arsenal advise. Going to first Jr Gold. Two handed, 18-19 mph, 560 revs. TNT Infused, Gem, Stealth, BW Ghost Pearl, Ovean Vibe, Spare. Limited to 5 balls. Should I look at replacing any balls? Thamks! Great vids.
@bowlersparadise2255 Do you think I need to look at a lower flare option like the Vibe but with an earlier roll like Venom Shock or Scorpion Low Flare for example?
That's a fair question. I actually wrote down all the balls I remember doing well with, and all the ones I remember being awful. the awful list had a lot of symmetrical solids on it. In fact, the only one that made the good list was the Ordnance C4. Basically, when I bowl on USBC patterns, I like asymmetry a lot, and I like shiny stuff a lot, and the Optimum just isn't that ball lol.
@@bowlersparadise2255as a new bowler I did a lot of research on what ball to get as my first fingertip drilled ball…ended up watching a lot of iq tour ruby vids and your best of 2023 video helped me make my decision. Keep up the great work!
Purple by far the best urethane. I even use mine as a ball down from reactive at 5th arrow playing the shim. My low ball speed gets even lower as I bump up against the ball return. It looks worse for me playing up the boards where I like the Pitch black better.

Team is a short inverted house shot (best way i could describe it)…singles/doubles is long and flat

I loved my virtual energy black out at 1k during nationals. It had great motion and a lot of energy still down lane.
Glad to hear it! I'll need all the help I can get!
When are you doing your nationals recap?
I have the exact opposite issue with the hater. When the surface gets filled and lane shined it doesnt look good and loses shape yet when I add the oob surface it is amazing always comes back if i get it to the spot or slight miss outs.
That makes me more excited to hit it with a 4k a little bit before team just to liven it up a touch.
Man, not quite 18, I will be in a couple months, but good luck to all who enter!!! And have a great time at Nationals🥳Good luck!
Thank you my friend!
Surprised Outer limit is only ball from your top 5 making the trip.
Good luck!
That's a fair observation, but it also goes to show how I don't review balls just for me at least?
I’m going to go with 1865. Good luck Ben!
Question I am a 188 average bowler and use the teal rino pro
I’m looking for a ball a level above what balls would you recommend to look at
Good luck! I'll be cheering for you! Also, 2007.
You better cheer loud with a score prediction that high! lol
@@bowlersparadise2255 I have faith!
Submitted! Good luck at nationals this year!

Spare ball as MVP is sometimes a good thing, sometimes a bad thing lol.
Subbed, liked , and entered Coach! Lets GO!
Thank you my friend! Happy to have you along!
Good luck 👍 I enjoy your channel 😊
Thank you my friend!
I’m a 425rpm 16mph 2hander with low axis tilts
Can you give me some advice for my arsenal?
I got
Archetype / BW ghost pearl / kinetic black ice / arctic vibe / teal rhino pro /Thrill pearl
How many games? for the guess
9 games (team+doubles+singles)
I have no idea what Ben's bowling game looks like outside the channel but I got alot of faith in him just from the reviews so I'm thinking 1900+
I appreciate that my friend!
Going with 1700 good luck

@@bowlersparadise2255 Thank you
How’d nationals go?
Poorly lol. Don't bowl 9:30pm and then 7am the next day.
@@bowlersparadise2255 feel that. Bowled 7am last year in Reno and never again haha

You need a urethane option IMO.
Thank you.

Why no Optimum Idol??

Pitch purple is not bad either.
I enjoyed my pitch purple a lot.
