Picked up this ball a few weeks ago as a step down from my Jackal Ghost as a strong benchmark ball and a gap between the Ghost and my other balls and it is a very strong but controllable ball. In fact I am able to use it more than my Ghost on most THS as it is very predictable and responds slower to friction than the Ghost. I can see this ball being very versatile on many patterns and conditions.
after almost 7 years in my arsenal, total 10/10 Value! found it funny when back then only rated 8.5
I can’t argue with you there. I still have one in the bag, albeit my second. Thing is when balls first come out, it’s hard to give a clear indicator of value since that bears out over time. Suffice it to say the p2 way surpassed anyone’s expectations.
@@TamerBowling I think this is the only item I can say that never regret have bought it during its launch.😄😄😄
The ball smells amazing as well
Definitely makes up for when you're bowling league after eating Taco Bell and farting up a storm all night. No pun intended.
This was filmed in Limerick, Pa I was just there
I like the original Phaze color scheme a lot more.
I'm around 19.9 mph what is that for my revs
Can u include the cover and the core in the video or description
I'm looking for a good bench mark ball. I've got a code black which i think is a lil bit too strong at times. Which ball would you recommend for a THS 39 ft oil pattern?
Ahmad Zaiem IQ tour solid
i'm around 17 mph, ~400 revs. my house pattern is 42' long and super oily. do you think this would be a good ball for me to pair with a hyroad?
If you're looking for a step up with a strong symmetrical solid that has strong motion down lane, then absolutely.
hello tamer bowling i have a no rules to start off i have a octane burn for second game when lanes start to dry up and i have a iq tour when lanes get dry but the iq sometimes doesn't turn will the phase 2 be a fit between these or can you suggest a ball for me
Phaze II would definitely fit between the No Rules and IQ Tour.
What’s the difference between the black conspiracy?! I’m getting this ball this weekend
Hey Tamer, I know this is an old review, but what do you think about this vs Hammer Sauce? The Sauce is my house benchmark, but it’s extremely limited in scope on sport patterns. Does it cover the same boards but shapes up more in the back? Curious what you think
Curtis Lenox phaze ii is one of the best solid stronger benchmark balls on the market. It’s proven itself for a long time. The biggest difference that I can recall is the sauce being much more forward off the end of the pattern. That tends to limit how much left to right adjustments you as a bowler can make.
TamerBowling Tamer you’re the man, thanks!
Question about the phaze 2. Why do I see high rev players playing far inside for balls such as the hyroad and idol pearl but then move right when using the phaze 2? (For right handers)On the same lane. If the phaze is stronger shouldn’t it force you the opposite way?
Tiffany St. James that is a very good question. The phaze 2 is meant for a little higher volumes. When the volumes are higher, you really don’t want to open up your angles that much or the ball will not make it back. On the other hand lower volumes tend to force higher rev players in to find more oil. But if you uses a ball like the phaze 2, it will carry less. Why? Energy retention. Shiny pearl balls store a lot of energy so when it hits the dry boards it turns more violently. Something with a strong cover is bleeding energy due to friction. So even if it can make it back it loses too much energy by the time it gets to the pins. It’s about using the right ball at the right time.
TamerBowling ok I understand. I was a little confused by this because I’m a no thumb bowler with lower speed. (14.5mph) on the house monitor. And I have an og hyroad and an iq tour. The hyroad I gotta get way in and still hits brooklyn or worse splits because of how much it moves on the back.But my iq I can move right and it’s smooth on the back end and hits pocket. Now I understand why thanks a lot for the reply.
How does the Phaze 2 compare to the Code X. Thank you for your videos they are so informative.
Robert Sneed phaze II has a more controllable roll to it. Code X seems to roll a little later and stronger.
HELP?? im a lefty also. i just got a hyroad nano a week ago and i bowl the same angle as you do; but i throw slow between 12-14 mph and a slower rev rate. it works amazing with a med-light oil pattern but anything heavier than that i just cant throw it consistently. i want a stronger ball for heavy oil is this it? for my hy road on heavy oil or (house shot) i have to throw straight close to the first arrow which is difficult for me because i prefer throwing out over the third arrow standing far right
evan bowling sounds like you need to consider a heavier oil ball. Something like the Halo, Crux Prime, or Sure Lock should give you a better look.
TamerBowling thanks i appreciate the help. you got the best page for ball reviews!
I’m looking for a symmetric solid and deciding between the phaze 2 or the idol. Which do you prefer over the two?
Good question. I have to say Phaze 2. Idol feels like a jack of all trades. Phaze 2 can be a master at times. They roll very differently. Phaze 2 almost rolls like an asym initially. Idol is very rounded and smooth.
Both are good I just got the idol to add to my phase 2 good one two punch
Im interested in this ball. I just got the phaze 2. For some reason keep hitting it through the head head pin no matter how much angle I get. I throw the ball slow at round 13-14mph. I feel like the phaze 2 has to much grip on the lane and I cant get enough on it to get it down the lane before it wants to grip/hook. Should I consider a pearl ball instead of the phaze 2? thanks love the content.
You can either work with your PSO on changing the surface to maybe shining it or look at a complimentary ball that is better suited to the condition you are bowling on.
I had a similar problem and put some polish on and it was good to go, been sitting great with it since.
How would you compare this ball to say the torrent? High speed, high rev cranker?
petros mikalef phaze ii is stronger and more defined responsiveness downlane. Torrent is earlier rolling and smoother.
What is this similar to or compare to with all the new balls today i.e. code x, drive, soniq, hyroad nano etc.
Honestly, the Phaze II rolls quite different than the rest of the balls, hence why it is still in the lineup. Maybe if you compare with the Code X, might cover similar boards, but the Phaze II is earlier rolling with a more setting type of roll. If you watch the 2 videos, it should be very clear. I also found it stronger than the Drive with similar midlane control but with more continuation. Hyroad Nano is a bit more even front to back.
If you couldn’t get a Phaze II, I would pick up a Drive and work with that.
Hi tamer , how is this for a stroker female ( 11-13mph speed) throwing a 14lb ball for tournament use? Do u think it will be suited for my arsenal? Thank u so much
Ps hope to see a review on the hammer obsession!
For a little higher volume yes. Phaze ii or axiom in the strong control slot.
@@tbsports5658 awesome thank u so much!
What's the difference between the Phaze2 & the IQ Tour?
Jimmie Brown phaze ii is much stronger
Is this Limerick bowling center in pa? I go there
backflipz_ 4_dayz yes it is.
TamerBowling if you ever want a two handed tester please hmu some time man that's pretty cool
How does it compare to the snap lock
Alex Balok you really cant compare it to the snaplock (i do have both). The snaplock was made for being a high performance ball, while the phaze 2 was made as a upper-mid performance. Also, the snaplock is polished while the phaze 2 is matte, so thats another reason why you cant really compare them.
Hey Tamer, How does the phaze 2 compare to the web tour?
Jerry Alexander phaze ii is a lot stronger benchmark. Stronger cover and stronger core.
@@TamerBowling thanks ☺
How does it compare to the the Marvel Pearl this a good step-down are step-up?
Perfect compliment to the Marvel Pearl but Phaze II is definitely a step up.
I have the Marvel Pearl-Pitch Black-Storm Ice. What do you think would fit the best with the balls i have now looking for something a little more then the Marvel Pearl? Phaze II-Soniq-Drive what i've
been looking at.
David Martinez phaze II is a great compliment to the marvel pearl in terms of shape as a step up. We will be testing the drive and soniq shortly if you want to wait a couple of weeks.
Sounds good. Thanks
So is this phaze 2 ok to use when the lanes dry up?
Only if it’s really old or shined up.
how does this compare to the ebonite futura?
Luke Adams phaze ii is stronger out of box and almost rolls like an asym until it settles. Then the balls get a little closer.
Does anyone know how this compares to the drive?
Brand new, the Phaze II is stronger with a a stronger downlane motion that can look a little asym like. Once the cover gets used up, the Phaze II becomes longer and smoother at the breakpoint; they get much closer.
@@TamerBowling Thank You!
What would you recommend as a step down and a step up to the drive?
Hello tamer bowling I am a 2 handed bowler with low speed but a lot of revs, what ball would be best for me?
Max Hollmann what ball do you have now?
I just got one for 80 bucks off amazon!!!!
That's a good deal
can you assist me with a drill to put on it
What layouts on the other equipment do you have now?
How is this compared to the idol?
cadenm25 idol is earlier and much less motion down lane.
TamerBowling just wondering, what do you mean by motion
cadenm25 the idol is much smoother so it will look like it hooks much less when it starts to hook.
to me it kinda gives at the end... it flips and doesn't drive...
Yeah from the shots here, it turns and then drags towards the pins. Weird.
Casey Custer it's a solid ball but trust me it carries almost every time. I've thrown many balls and this has some of the best pin action I have ever seen.
+jack17393506 I believe it's a great ball but we will see with storm after 25 games.. definitely an improvement over the original phaze.. it smelled like a toilet cake😂
They give every ball an 8.5 lol
:)
When you make your ball review we don't want to see just strikes
Have you watched the complete video? We show non-strikes and discuss the ball reaction.
TamerBowling I meant to pick up spares with it
Miller Moore in my experience, most people dont use a high hooking ball for spares, they usually use a spare ball (typically plastic)
