I would love to se it against the Summit so we can see the difference between a strong symmetrical and asymmetrical. Also, WE WANT CHRIS! 😂 I would to see what he does what that ball!
Chris is so fun to watch man, I agree. I love seeing both Luis and him it adds more to the review for sure.
I want him more on the channel also!
Lou, I always love it when you say you are starting out a "little straighter" and you are crossing 15 out to 5 and back. 😂
This ball rolls really smooth and heavy for you. Very nice.
It’s all relative right 😂😂
I would definitely buy one of those except I just bought an eternity pi. After one of your videos I bought the eternity and drilled it pin down and I love it. You can gloss the ball for a certain lane conditions and it works amazing
I’ll have that comparison coming soon!
Luis another Great Ball Review... Keep it Coming!!!
Thanks! Will do!
Arsenal is currently the Zen, Exotic Gem, Phaze 2, and Fatal Venom... Averaging 700 the past 2 weeks with them. Our league has adopted the gems like crazy. Looks like a ton of superman ice cream on the ball returns.
Yea it’s pretty insane how many gems there are on the racks
It looked really good last night in league and also in this review. Winner here for the good bowlers with speed and revs
Yea im loving it!
I like this format where you've thrown it before and aren't trying to figure it out while you're reviewing it. Would love to see this ball with surface adjustment (polished, hint hint 😉)
I can maybe work that in!
Your release is looking good.
Thanks!!
Nice looking ball.
Thanks!
Nice video Luis; you really seemed to like throwing the ball.👍👊✌🖖
Heck ye!
Since I love my Reality (polished), I look forward to that comparison!! I'm sure they did some research at Roto Grip, but you always wonder why they made it 2:1 more solid?
im sure they have their reasons about everything!
Wait!!!!!!we had a lil back and forth about the gem brand😂😂😂 it warms my heart to hear u like the gem now❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha took long enough!
*ball will never go high”
•ball goes high
lol
Tbis is your best review yet
Thanks so much for that! Always looking to improve so this means a lot!
Time to unload some of my old equipment!!
Do it!
Looks like it’d look good on long patterns with less oil.
Even with lots of oil also!
Would love a Reality Check comparison. Both really strong Asym hybrids.
It’s discontinued now though!
You must have a crazy high average in that League. You are a really awesome bowler. Congrats on the 290.
I’m at 228 right now !
@@LuisNapoles That is amazing!!!! Keep on having those big games and series!
Looking forward to the Pi comparison
Coming very soon!
Another great video Luis. 2 Questions: 1. How would Magic Gem compare to Eternity Pi? and 2. If I have a Duo in the middle of my bag, would this Gem be a good ball up from that since they are both of the same coverstock?
With the Duo, I can roll over the middle arrow at the release, get it to first arrow downlane and shape into the pocket, but I can't play that line until middle of game 2. It looks like I can use this Gem to play that line earlier.
Magic pi comparison is coming soon! Magic into duo should be money!
I currently have a purple hammer urethane and an eternity in my bag, I’m looking for a new ball and wasn’t sure what to get
Hopefully you’ll love this one!
I would like to see the Magic Gem compared to the Nova (another hybrid asym)
That’s a good one!
I’m looking for a new ball that would work on dry to heavy oil. I bowl high school and heavier oil patterns were added this year so I’m looking for something that could work for all patterns. Would something like this work even though I have a high rev rate. Or should I look into something like the phaze 2 thank you!
P2 for sure!!
Nice ball review only thing I don’t like is most ppl don’t have the same speed as me or hand.
What’s your style look like?
Cool video talk tech bowling bowling ball Luis
@scottythompson940 UNCOOL TROLLING by the "KING" of BOWLING TROLLS ...... Scotty Thompson.
Thanks!
@@ibpsupplyman um I'm just talking to Luis napples about bowling
@@LuisNapoles your welcome
Would really like to see a heads up comparison of the GEM vs Magic Gem. I have the Gem already. Was drilled poorly and needs replaced. So I have a decision to make. Rolling a Clone at the moment.
I need to drill a fresh one
Did you change the surface on this ball! You did on the exotic and then loved it! And if you did change surface what Ctd pad did you use
Nope! This was right outta the box!
Great video, Luis! Magic better than Exotic on houseshot?
I think so yea
But I like smoother ball motion anyways
This ball seems way too strong for me to use in league 🙁. What I am excited for is the TNT infused (hybrid of the original TNT). The TNT is my favorite ball right now for league as it has a good balance between motion and strength for my game.
That video coming soon!
Would you do the Dna Coil or the Newer absolute coming out but i think they are overseas so they might not be relevant (i wish they called the DNA Coil the RNA the set up was right there)
Never heard of them
I love the Zen Soul which I think is the best hybrid ball SPI has ever made. I know the Magic Gem has a stronger core and is asymmetrical but with all things being equal how would you compare the two?
I thought the zen soul was terrible lol prob why it was discontinued so fast but the magic is gonna be stronger earlier and more rolly when compared to the soul
Compare it against the TNT hybrid - DTang tried it but I wanna see how both flare up with your Pin to PAP !!!
I’ll hand up work on that!
I would like to see how smooth it is compared to the tour dynamix, and just for fun the revenant
That would prob make a good arsenal !
What are your thoughts on lower rev mid speed bowlers. Looks like it may work well?
Yea! I would recommend a surface adjust just in case though
The Defiant was my favorite ball, but I have not thrown a Gem yet 😢
I haven’t thrown a defiant in YEARS
RST X-1 was microtrax hybrid, 2 parts solid, 1 part pearl. Biggest difference is the RG should make the Magic Gem much earlier.
And way stronger also
I've got the proton and I love it and I've liked the colors on the OG gem and all but it was a bit stronger then proton but not a big difference, with this magic gem I'm thinking about if i can maybe go pin down on this Magic gem and it would be strong but I little bit more length Maybe? Than the proton cause I've got a similar layout like you do and maybe I could have both but I can do pin down. What do you think? I'm mainly on league house shots and my rev rate is 420. Throw it maybe 15 16mph.
Yea that could work actually! Plus change the surface a little!
@LuisNapoles Cause I keep my proton very dull. And of course, the strongest piece that I use every league. And then maybe This magic gem could be say if I have more left and it's not picking up and my nuclear is going late, so it would maybe go in-between the proton and nuclear
I honestly think you should try to get an og Gem to compare it to. You could technically compare it to the Absolute since they're both hybrids but I don't think they even close to being similar. Only other ball besides what you mentioned would be the DNA
I want to!
Would it be worth having all three in your bag?
You’d need a ton of oil
How would you compare the rst x3 and magic gem?
X3 will be longer and quicker than the magic
its actually 2:1 Pearl to Solid ratio. I think the Citrine and Rhodonite are the Pearl parts and the Black is the solid. Shine a flashlight and you can see the pearl sparkles through the cover.
No matter what its a GOOD ball LOL
@@LuisNapoles
I was just going to post this as I just watched your review…
Just bought this for my wife and we were watching I’m like wait a minute, I bought this because it was two parts pearl and one part solid … And she looked at me like WTH
So o had to show her the spec sheet … lol
Expected that you would drill this pin down as you did the GEM. You appeared to enjoy the pin down version of the GEM more that pin up? Is that still your preference for the GEM?
I probably should have haha
I’d like to see it compared to the Black Widow Hybrid 2.0 👌🏻
Check out The Hype!
So will they make a hybrid in the eternity series also??
I’m sure they will eventually
Can you find a Defiant to show us the change/improvement?
I wish!
Defiant soul comparison inbound?
If I had one!
Please compare this to the gem proton and supernova
I dont have them
2 handed review next possible?
Hmmmmm
When you're done reviewing it, just package it up and send it to me 😆 🤣 but frfr lol
Maybe a giveaway soon!
@LuisNapoles that would be sweet, the wife is getting mad at me for all the balls I buy 😆 🤣 so winning one would be awesome
What's the drill layout
30x4.5x30
can you compare it to a Storm Proton Physix
I don’t have one 😭
Compare to Brunswick Quantum Evo Hybrid or Pearl
I’m on global staff so I can only throw the storm Roto and global stuff
Smoother and earlier than the Nova ? Not for me then for sure.
Nova was too smooth. Ball was so early dull, shine it? It went 96 feet
Yup!
Please do the proton physix, or clone
Clone for sure!
Magic Gem is 2 parts Pearl and 1 part solid
Doesn’t matter what it says it rolls like 3 parts solid 0 parts pearl
Do the Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid
I can’t 😭
I agree with you that id like you to throw the balls before you review them. You can get a truer roll, and get a handle on your thoughts
Yea! Plus once there’s some
Oil on the cover it really shows what the balls about
Reality Check? Also hybrid reactive
Yes but not even close from a reaction standpoint!
Are we sure it’s two parts Solid and not Two parts Pearl?
So I guess the marketing material is showing as two parts Pearl and one part solid. But honestly it doesn’t really matter what it says. This bowling ball rolls so much more like a solid than a pearl.
Absolute
Super different balls there!
@@LuisNapoles I said absolute because it’s also a hybrid asym
I have mixed feelings on this ball. If someone has the Gem, what's the point? Its seems too close to the original. Especially if it's a solid-dominant hybrid. Not too excited for this one.
It may be similar to the gem but it appears it’ll have that little bit of shape potential that the gem doesn’t quite always have.
Yea I mean they definitely are very similar but the magic will shape more when the og Gem wants to roll substantially more forward
magic gem vs tnt infused
Oh yeah! Great 1-2 combo!
Clone comparison
Definitely!
Please make sure you tell us that you’re pin up our down
30x4.5x30 is the layout
She pretty 🤩
FACTS!
COMPARE IT TO A CLONE,
I like that idea
They really failing on all the gems color ways, it's called the gem and you don't use any gem colors, let's use big bird yellow instead of topaz, let's use double bubble pink instead of ruby, let's use turquoise instead of sapphire, I swear Roto got a deal on the cheapest colors out there and got to clear stock, imagine the looks of these balls if they had the !Q colors that actually look like gem stones
Even rolling down lane it looks like puke. Roto definitely fumbled the ball. They need to get some colors from 900, they have all yhe bright shinny colors
I actually really like the colors 😂
