I like independent reviews like your channel. Staffers are on staff to push product. Company marketing departments push the hype. Extra sweet coolaid. Staffers are drunk on the the coolaid. You never see a Staffers say "this ball sucks". Let the ball sell itself. I enjoy your honest opinion. Keep the honesty flowing.😅😅😅
It’s not that I’m abashing it! I just feel like there is a ton of other options for asymmetrical hybrids. Example Magic Gem, The Hater by DV8 just to name a couple. Now I know what your going to say well coach the ION Pro is a bench mark ball. Well I would argue the term benchmark is used way to much now a days. It’s like every other ball that comes out is said to be the next big benchmark ball. The reality is you can make any ball your benchmark ball sure, but I pick my own like you should. Secondly I don’t think I would ever use an asymmetrical ball as a bench mark. I like my benchmark shape to be rounder, and slower which we don’t have here.
See now that’s what I’m taking about right there. Your eyes, and bowler IQ is what I like to see. Now what happens on my house shot is inside of 8,9,10 is a big puddle that tends to make the ball slide. So the goal is to get around it, and with the ION that was the goal.
Hi Coach, If you're going to compare some balls to this one, I'd like to see you try The Road. When the Ion was introduced, I was looking for it to replace two or three in my collection like the IQ Tour (solid), Code X, Rubicon and perhaps the Torrent. The Road looked good in your hand, but the Ion unfortunately didn't. Maybe you need more time with this Ion and get some lane shine on it or something. Like my trying the Sublime a couple times and I was sorry I bought it. Now I'm looking forward to using it again as I found it breaking hard on the backend... 🙂
@@wingmann29mann31 my opinion is it’s not for me. Now don’t get me wrong it’s an ok ball, but it reminds me of the storm summit. The summit was very strong symmetrical, now the Ion pro is like the asymmetrical version of that ball. If I want a benchmark I’m going to stick to the phase 2/Xponent or a number of others. That just my opinion 🤷🏽♂️
Thanks for for noticing I appreciate it. Lots of hours has gone into my release, and it would be farther along if I didn’t get hurt. However I think the progress has been a success so far, but the test is coming. Nationals the end of July!!
@@badbadbowling101 Yes sir! Your way more behind it longer at release and you can see the increase in power/control. It’s for sure going to help on the team pattern, seen a lot of folks have to get deep on it. Good luck brother!
@@EdButlerDetroit thank you and I feel like at nationals we all need a little luck. Getting behind the ball was a grind, and to be honest I think it was the cause of my bicep tear. Sometime I feel like these changes are for the younger people. However I had to make the changes because to coach something to have to have a full understanding of it. Approaching 50 isn’t easy 😂😂😂
I’m torn. U and the hype are both independent. Hype said Storm might have something special with ion pro. U say it’s not worth the price. There better balls for price. Not sure which way to lean.
I can respect that, and the only thing I. A tell you is what I see. If you would give me a little bit I’m going to post another video with the Ion Pro by storm.
I feel like SPI tried to remake the Motiv Black Venom with the Ion. Do you think so? If so, I think I’ll personally choose the Motive Black Venom instead.
After some thought 🤔 I have to say you’re right.. I would also take the black venom by Motiv as well. See the issue is the people on staffer with SPI don’t have a choice, but to throw SPI.. 🤷🏽♂️
@@badbadbowling101 awesome coach! That’s why I love your channel as you always give honest reviews and is not a staffer so you can share your experience with other brands! Maybe you can do a battle of the balls between ion vs black venom in the future! Keep doing your thing coach!

I will definitely stay the course, and thank you. You would be surprised how many people take the red pill 🤦🏽♂️
Try different pattern and conditions
I bowl on two different sports shots every week. I’m in a sports shot league that changes shots every week.
Id move 3 to left 5:33
You are the first to bash

Curious to see how the ion compares to the Arctic Vibe, X-ray, and the max thrill pearl.🤔
You will get a look at some of them
Personally, why make any move? Keep it in the oil and not throw it out to friction or dry.

The Road is interesting thought to compare to the Ion pro.. let’s see what we can do!!
Then give your opinion

My move off of that shot is feet on 28, 20 at the arrows and the bad bad bowlers box downlane at the breakpoint.
Appreciate the video, and you can tell how much better your release has gotten over the last few months.

@@badbadbowling101 cool. I’ll wait for that video then. I respect urs and the hype’s opinions
Just like JR Raymond says, chick's dig the trip 4.
😂😂😂😂
Appreciate the honesty
That’s the only way you can be
Nice video and content. Keep em coming.
Thanks, will do!
Bert is better than the summit. It is garbage. Arm like the overhyped balls are just okay
Who the hell is Bert? Also what??? Please clarify this
Bert?
Lol Bet it is better than the summit. Storm be over hyping some stuff an it is just okay. Spell check is crazy.
@@baruti3405 lol overhyped is an understatement, and I can only think of two balls worse than the summit TNT comes to mind
3 and 2
I think that would also work

@papacierri thanks again, and I would have to get my hands on another black venom.
You threw it well coach
You think so? I think I threw it ok
