I like the extras section at the end. Doesn't make it seem like if you buy the ball you'll get all strikes haha, good to see some off target shots and how it reacts
The "Extras" are the best shots really. What you want in a purchasing preview is, what does the shape look like when it's "on" and what do misses look like.
Thank you for this video, great work, especially the "extras"
love this ball it hits like a freight train
Just a review from the future: I have a high rev rate and I have a short pin layout on this ball and it's a beautiful thing. I took the polish off and I can still play nearly the same line as I can with urethane. It responds well to hand adjustments and is perfect for playing straight on most lanes, but is especially good for opening up on really dry lanes. It's probably going to be a permanent part of my bag.
my cousin's name is Antonio Reyes i think he was in this video because it said on there Antonio was two-handed and my cousin is two-handed.
Yeah, nothing hits like a hammer..... Until now.....
One of the guys I bowl league with threw the timless this past week, first shot out of the gate he blew the 4 over the 7 (righty) then sheeted it for 290 and each shot pounded like a sledgehammer. There will be one waiting for me at the pro shop this week!
Nice video, good to see a variety of different bowlers rolling it using different lines and angles,even if the last 2 bowlers shots were very similar. Very strong ball,seems to blast thru this pocket with little to no deflection. Reminds me a lot of the Code Black with a little less snap and angle and more of a sweeping motion. Definitely a little cleaner thru the midlanes as well. I can understand your complaints about wishing it were a little weaker but this ball isn't designed to be weak,its clearly designed with higher rev bowlers in mind,I mean the most powerful PBA bowler endorses the ball lol. Anyways I can understand what you're saying but not exactly sure that should warrant a lower review score. Maybe a slightly less aggressive drilling pattern may counter this?? I'm looking for something that reads a little earlier than my Alpha Crux Pearl and Daredevil,didn't really like the Code Black, this may be exactly the ball I need!
Thanks for checking it out! We certainly didn't give it a low score nor did we lower it because it was "too strong". It was just a wish based on what Storm described the ball to be, taking queues from the IQ Tour and Hy-Road. Neither were this strong. Otherwise, I think it is a usable shape. If you are looking for earlier than the Alpha (not sure if you meant Alpha Crux or Crux Pearl) and Dare Devil, sure you could consider this if you take the polish down...or take a look at the Dare Devil Trick. We will be testing that as soon as we get our hands on it.
TamerBowling My bad meant Crux Pearl lol. Didn't know about the Daredevil Trick, I'm a huge fan of the original Daredevil so I'll have to look into it.
Yup, Trick's a solid and we should have the video in the next 2 weeks if you're not in a rush.
Saw a new video when i logged on. I was hoping it was the united revolt! Anyways looking forward to that video. Keep up the good work
i keep seeing you around on these vids and come to realize we are both big motiv fans. must be a dave thing lol. still loving my ghost! As always, great vid tamer. Always look forward to your reviews
David Haney it's coming soon, stay tuned.... thanks for following us!
Can you please review the Hammer Gauntlet?? I'm buying it soon and your way of reviewing sounds like it would help my final decision.
10/10, price didn’t bother me because it was a gift from my coach who used it max 5 times and got a new ball
Interesting, everyone is saying how strong the ball is. I've thrown 3 different ones and in two instances it labored in the backend. And it looks pretty sketchy on TV. Guess it goes to show lane conditions are very different everywhere.
Marcus Cheung I agree. For me, it doesn’t nearly have the amount of hook as advertised and labors. When it’s on, it’s great, but very temperamental. Just recently got the Black Widow Gold, better results from it and is strong.
This ball indeed has a great shape. I love to get a super strong solid and use it with full ballspeed and almost no hand but when it's type to open up, this type of shape is perfect because it allows me to put more hand, slow down and still without seeing a reaction that would be too snappy for some type of patterns. Although, it seems to hook too much for me. Even my hyroad tends to be a little more than I would like sometimes so this ball wouldn't fit for me. But I still think Storm is doing the right thing. The hyroad was VERY strong when it came out too and that's the reason it kept going with the massive increase of volumes over the years. I indeed expect the timeless to be the second hyroad.
I agree, the HyRoad was pretty strong out of the box as well. I don't think this strong but still. That's why I liked my HyRoad so much more after about 50 games on it. It just tamed down and became an amazing benchmark ball for me. I would love for that to happen with this ball but I rarely get 50 games on anything these days :-)
i'll gladly bowl 50 games on it for you! However, bowling left handed I'll be lucky to keep it between the ditches lol. Great review as always
What procedure do you use to take the shine off? I have this ball and I need it to start a little earlier.
Mark Jaggers you can go to the pro shop or buy yourself some abralon pads. You can find those online and buy a pack with 4000, 3000, 2000, 1500, 1000, 500. 4000 will be the lease aggressive. Start by scuffing it up by hand lightly and work your way down as needed.
Can we see more of these high rev bowlers? I'm a two handed bowler and I've been trying to figure out what I should get. I made a choice to get the black widow gold and the match-up hybrid and both are super strong. With weak drills
I like the original lock.
Tamer, my style is closest to Dave Staboleski, with that said, what kind of Storm & Rotogrip arsenal does he use for league shots? Note I tend to like the controllable look of symmetrical cores but do on occasion use asym balls for more oil situations.
I'd like to see the answer to this question as well..
Will you guys do a video on the Hammer Gauntlet?
Yeah i wish my house had normal oil. It's heavy oil considering it's a house shot. I actually don't know if they use a sport pattern or not, but i wouldn't be surprised if they do. I do not get these kinds of reactions with my timeless. This is more so the reaction i get from vg nano. Haven't picked the sure lock up yet. I want to though.
895takashi And I wish we had more oil so I can use some of the heavy oil balls😉
Am I correct in assuming that it sits between the rotogrip hectic and the lock well? The lock rarely comes out unless I'm on real heavy oil and the hectic is my go to ball.
PokeAsh That's a big gap but safe to say yes.
Yeah i think my house just uses a lot of oil because i can’t get mine to hook. Idk maybe i need to re-evaluate my whole approach and release
Kinda wish Storm would change it up a bit. Yeah having a ball that hooks a lot is great and all, but they need to bring something different to the table sometimes and that's coming from a Storm & Roto Grip guy.
XTREMEPYRO144 I hear you. Unfortunately every time they try, they get criticized. The Phaze got ripped by a lot of people because it didn't hook like your typical Storm...
TamerBowling The phase was never consistent you would throw similar shots and the ball would roll massively different and the match/match pearl died within a 100 games. It feels like storm just doesn't put any research and development into the lower hooking balls
I hear you and would agree the original Phaze was not the best effort in my opinion. I am hearing something about second batch Phazes rolling really well but I haven't seen anyone around here give it a shot.
Huh, I found the phaze to roll like a smooth pearl with a nice arc backend, and the Dare Devil to be inconsistent... Dare Devil literally doesn't have any backend for me, so I can only ever use it when I need little backend.
The Pitch Black / Pitch Blue are lower hooking and they're showing up on TV and WSOB events pretty frequently.
I would agree that more RD almost certainly goes into the higher hook balls because of target audience. Think about it this way... how many guys / gals are in the 450+RPM range in a given league. 1? 2? How many grandpas are in the league at
do you think this would be an ok step down form a strong ball more specifically absolute nirvana, if not what do you think would be.
Sure would. These medium hybrids are great step-down from strong rolly balls as they allow you to slow down, get more hand in it and move in when the strong balls aren't getting it done.
how would this ball compare to the tour fusion, I'm currently between this and the track kinetic emerald for my next ball.
The Timeless will be longer and a bit sharper downlane than the Tour Fusion.
compare timeless and IQ tour fusion?
The houses in my area are all light oil and the oil seems to just disappear after 2 games in league, could you please do a review on the widow spare?
Just get some urethane
@@nathanvault1524 Urethane is more for keeping lines simple or in front of you, on dry lanes it often takes off super early.
I learned nothing as none of these bowlers bowl like any league bowlers I know.
I would like to see some low rev/slow ball speed bowlers playing up second arrow to know how it would work for the common man.
Did you watch Dave (bowler 3) throw the ball?
Yeah. Dave is a little closer to the normal crowd but he still has good hand and higher ball speed.
Please show us some really "normal people" using these balls so we can see how the ball does at 12mph with 150 rpms going real straight.
nordattack not everyone is a full roller
nordattack just cuz you can’t generate revs doesn’t mean u gotta complain about it lol
Some time later and this ball hasn't been seen ever since...
i saw it yesterday
Few bowlers here and there throw it still. Time revealed that this was definitely not the next hyroad.
I had a timeless a few months after it came out. Like with many others, the ball was very over under for me. Couldn't get a consistent reaction out of it. Sold it cheap to a 2 hander and he loved it and did very well with it. I do wonder if Storm will make another ball with the core though, or at least another variation of a core inside another core.
I am a full roller bowler,can i used storm timeless?
Johnny Tan full roller is no reason why you can’t throw this ball. Just have to figure out if it’s the ball reaction you want.
will you guys be reviewing the storm torrent
NightwingsMask We will be reviewing the Torrent soon
compared to the snap lock?
Snap Lock is more of a strong control pearl. Has an asym core which gives it a different shape. Timeless is a bit cleaner and later hooking.
what weight is guy poors ball
Planet Take Over 15
How the hell you gonna have 625 with one hand?
T Acosta very very few people can do it. This “Guy”, Robert Smith, a few others... crazy😱
TamerBowling like, I have about 500, but holy crap
Timeless vs code black vs snap lock??
Brage Solvang Nese timeless reads the mid a bit sooner
Good video. Not a ball I would ever buy because it hooks too much.
Why would one want a weak ball... that's why I got this ball, of how much one can do with it, my average is now a 190 from 170
You may find conditions that a ball like this is too strong, say if there is very short or low amounts of oil. It doesn't become obvious until you see those conditions. Also, as your average raises and you learn nuances of your ball reaction, you will see more differences and more need for different level balls.
Just give us back hyroad
just put a weaker drill on it....very simple
I dont know but this is like cheating in some way! what is next?
Guys outfits are awful who dresses him
would not use it if you gave it to me
