I have a Crux Prime which used to be the strongest ball in my bag. I just got this Proton Physix and it's at least 5 boards stronger in terms of overall hook. If you can't hook this ball, you need to just give up conventional bowling and go either 2-hand or no-thumb.
I can’t hook this ball for shit I got for free it’s 14lb and I think I throw it too fast average 18 mph I had a hy road when I was kid and that shit hooked like a mf lol
im still rocking it in 2023 as my main go to on league just first ball out, got my highest score in league with it a nice 280. so i mean i looked at the gem and DNA but idk i just still really like the proton.
Our Governor is better in California. Put everything back into outdoor and on top of that add a curfew as well, but again he got caught going to a gathering even tho he said not to again rules don’t apply to him.
The back ends absolutely fly at that house compared to the other center you usually record at. I'd be interested to see some of the other pieces you recently reviewed there too.
Your best options are: 1. Reduce your ball speed 2. Increase your RPMS 3. Adjust your axis of rotation so the ball looks more like it’s doing a burnout straight towards the left gutter (assuming right-handed), and less like it’s spinning towards the pins Try working on these things one at a time, rather than all at once. Consistency with your shots and being able to predict where the ball will go is the key to success
I bowl there sometimes, and tend to do rather well, but yeah it’s…different. Many of the lanes have a slight ridge at the foul line from the approach area being slightly sunken in. The lanes have joystick controllers, it has an old-school vibe. The place has a very fun and cool overall layout
@@neooooo6127 this is true. This is why I love watching JR’s videos because he’s the only guy I know who throws all companies and throws almost every new ball released
@@tsandofficial7454 i use the phase 3 as well, and it performs great. I recommend the proton physics as well because it is used for heavy oil say at a gsr alley and is classified as higher performance
House shot underneath this pattern?? They don’t strip the lanes when they put a new pattern out? I can understand a fill shot but never heard of this that’s weird
Machines just don’t clean the lanes very well. There will be memory of the pattern out before the new one. It’s why some tournaments double and triple strip before running patterns to try to get them as close as possible. Also why patterns at events get tighter each squad the patterns applied
Isn't a solid supposed to start hooking early? You put a 5 inch pin on everything and make every ball look the same . Try drilling the balls and make them do what they were meant to do. Get a solid and drill it to go deep like a pearl? Thats a special kind of crazy there
Hmm darren tang also drilled his proton similarly 5x5x5.5 on the middle finger. A couple people I know drilled their solid ball into the pin in the ring finger, including storms drilling for brad millers proton physix. So you’re saying keep the ball strong and drill it what its meant to do? To read early?
Join the Club? Here in Canada and mostly in Ontario we have had a shut down in March and have slowly reopen with restrictions, now with some peoples bad choices, we are heading back to a shut down again. Most importantly we have lost a few bowling alleys already and some owners I know are talking about up to 40% of all alleys may close for good. So enjoy to short shut down and please keep helping a great sport we all love, keep living.
"Because our stupid governor shut down the State again" ... I love you man! .. that is EXACTLY right!!! .. so good to hear someone come out and say it out loud! .. refreshing!
That’s false. It is Whitmer making the decisions, just the legislature can’t do anything about it because her decisions are backed by the health department.

Straight up😂😂💯

I need a new solid for my bag, may have just found it!
I got one and it is definitely my favorite ball.
Pin up or down for heavy oil? Tournament oil
Threw mine for the first time last night and loved it!
im still rocking it in 2023 as my main go to on league just first ball out, got my highest score in league with it a nice 280. so i mean i looked at the gem and DNA but idk i just still really like the proton.
The Axiom has the same cover stock

That's because the back half of the lanes are wood and the front half are synthetic.
Yup that's kinda my point. Makes this ball look alot more snappy off the back compared to the last 4-5 solids that were reviewed.
Best reviews in the business!!
I’ve been waiting on this!
Used my protron for the first time and it didn't hook very much what should I do

Do the lanes go from synthetic to the old wood style? If so, that's kind of cool
Yeah the fronts are synthetic and it transitions to wood backend. Ball reaction is different in that house.
@@Fluffyguy958 Ah alright. Thank you for verifying. I've never seen that before
I've never seen that before, is it common?
@@machinethesun9243 I don't recall seeing it anywhere besides New Glass Bowl, but im sure other houses have it. I wouldn't call it common.
@@Fluffyguy958 interesting, thanks for answering.
Yup Michigan guy hear too, sucks I can't bowl right now
That center looks like a science experiment. No reset buttons. Half synthetic half wood. Strange oil pattern. Lane looks uneven as hell lol. 🤪

Hey JR why do you always use a 4-in pin on most of your bowling balls do you use them for tournaments or just examples for the videos
best intro ever lol love it
Now a comparison with Proton Physix and the Hammer Black Widow 2.0. Throw in the Axiom Pearl as well.
90% of storm users don’t throw balls outside of storm/roto. Plus all those balls are completely different
@@neooooo6127 yep, I throw an old Ebonite. I’m aware they’re different. I’d like to see how they react after each other on the same pattern.
@@mmarr6580 ... same.
@@neooooo6127 this is true. This is why I love watching JR’s videos because he’s the only guy I know who throws all companies and throws almost every new ball released
This ball will be bought. Thank you for the video of this ball. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
JR. dont forget to do a different grit zenith video. I wanna see it at 2,000 or more.
2:55, holy cow that thing hits!!!!
What’s this layout? Can anyone help me?
Shut things down to keep people safe....
How would this compare to the jackal ghost
I'm wanting a new ball I was looking at the roto grip ufo or the roto grip halo pearl or the proton physix which 1 would you recommend.
The UFO is a great Solid for heavy oil conditions I personally love the ball. My go to is the Phase 3 though
@@tsandofficial7454 i use the phase 3 as well, and it performs great. I recommend the proton physics as well because it is used for heavy oil say at a gsr alley and is classified as higher performance
So where does this ball rank in strength to others? Is it the new strongest, or is there one or more that are stronger still?
Strongest ball that you can buy.
Looks the same as the last review. JK, I think the roto grip ball on the last throw made it back because you put more revs on it upon release.

I just noticed something... Do they have guardian overlay over wood to about 20'?
Awesome ball, just picked up a ball going to drill it myself 20 dollar drill from walmart vs 70$ from pro shop.
Your pro shop charges $70 to drill?!?
@@emmettzaczepinski6565 yup , with thumb slug amd grips. I got a guy that drills for ebonite.
Thanks for the videos you do!
I like them a lot!
You think you’ll be able to do a video showing the proton physics against the axiom solid?
I definitely one day want to go and bowl at that house myself and test it out lol
My son has bowled there.... its .. interesting but scoreable
I tend to bowl really well there, the layout of the place is really cool and has an old school vibe. Could definitely use some touching up though.
The reset button is on the panel at Glass Bowl.
So what one do you think is better on the oil zenith or the proton or results?
I’d say proton
Gotta have this one.
We open in Missouri. Full capacity still in my county

Throw some shine on it your going to like it
Great ball
Solids burn up for me
Looks like guardian
Greatest into ever!!!
Just saying JR.. The governor has no more say in Michigan right now.. It's all the health department.
That’s false. It is Whitmer making the decisions, just the legislature can’t do anything about it because her decisions are backed by the health department.
C'MON MAN! lol xD
Join the club, Our idiot Governor just shut everything down in Illinois as well.
Yeah, living in Michigan sucks. She’s such a tyrant
Waiting for our Governor to do the same🤬🤬🤬
washington shut us down for a while too. terrible governors!
