You should do an informative video for us non pro league casual bowlers explaining in detail what you mean exactly by throwing to the friction and the diff reference and how that translates to the lanes and what we should watch for in the ball movement. Now that would be a must watch video. Keep up the awesome videos
I'd love to see a D tier bowling vid! And kind of another thing. You've got a lot of balls in the S tier. What if you had to narrow it down to just 3? One for rev dominant players, one for in-betweeners, and one for speed dominant players? Because at the end of the day, I'm kind of looking for one, and there's a bit of decision paralysis because there's so many options.
Phaze 2 is always a good option. But really, it depends a lot on the house as well. The house pattern/lane surfaces could play as much of a role as the rev/speed dominant aspect. It all depends.
If you want to get a good recommendation I would say to ask a coach or your local pro shop because they probably know your shot and how you bowl the best
Got an exotic gem towards the end of my season, ended with a 201 average which is my highest ever!
I use my IQ Ruby and Phaze 5 every night for league. The P5 if I need to play more direct and my Ruby when I need to play a bit more inside. I honestly think it should be in S tier. The bowl is just too good.
Super Nova was/still is my only "big hook" ball, and has given me my biggest scores since i learned 2 handed, highest 289 with it, I think its good, but if its a dry day and you just happen to forget something else and thats your only option, good luck, you better have a strong arm.
Not two handed. I’m a lefty and it hurt me when he put it in the C tier. That ball has been money all year but if the shot seems to have a bit more friction or burns up, I drop to the Night Road. Shot 806 earlier this year using Super Nova all night.
Tossing the super nova also. Taking some time to get it dialed in but given me some good games. Need to find another ball when lanes transition.
11:24 yes Darren I love my supernova I am a relatively inexperienced bowler and I shot my first 200+ game for 241 with an 8 bagger with this ball. It might not be for everybody but it definitely works for me and where I bowl.
Is so crazy to see TH-camrs recommend balls, then the pro shop recommend something completely different and my self have the best luck with the balls they all say are terrible and the balls they all recommend never work for me 🤣
I'm confident to say every bowling ball I buy is because of the review that you make on them everytime. I have a Phaze 5, Eternity, Reality, Reality check, and Zen U. Nothing makes me buy a new bowling ball till you I see your video on it and you love love love it. I'm ready for a new ball for the future if you know what I mean...
I love my super nova in league. Personally i shined mine to 4k and it helped tame it down a ton
My god league arsenal is: Zen Master, Zen U, and Marvel Pearl/OG Hy-road. Shot back to back over 700 series with this.
The nova and supernova are my favorites to use in league honestly 😢
Amazing video about bowling balls
Yay. I love these list. Absolute is S though.
So awesome to see another tier list! Gem and Reality Check are good in league for me.
NIGHT ROAD 💰💰💰💰
You should do a tier per week for league to see if the scores match the rankings
I agree with everything that you said, there are some houses that some work well and some houses that some dont, but I had been throwing TNT and DNA before leauges ended and I will have these in the bag for a couple of tournaments I have coming up. Love the channel love your knowledge keep up the good work, I learn alot watching
The SuperNova is insanely good, imo. (Was an amateur-professional for a while, so I’m not just saying that for no reason) It reads really early like any solid, yet at the same time it stores plenty of energy while managing to make it pretty far downlane. I think for this reason alone it’s pretty unique, but definitely worth a second look or drilling if you weren’t originally a fan!
I hated my SuperNova out of the box. After seeing a video on it, i tried taking it to 4k. It's been my favorite ball since. I use it in both house and sport. 3 finger, tweener.
I throw ~17.5-18, high rev. Phaze 2 has been my go to game 1 ball, Hyped Solid comes in Game 2, but man oh man do I love the Tropical Surge in game 3. I've been flirting with 300 ever since I picked it up ~4 months ago. Best streak with it so far is 15. It works well in the dry outside in the later games, but if you miss left and throw it into the soup it holds, giving me a solid 5+ boards of miss room either direction.
My league arsenal right now is a revenant, hyped pearl and hy-road. My bowling center is on the higher friction side of things so I don't really have a need for a super strong ball like a gem. I am kicking around swapping out my hy-road (it's old, from 2009) and grabbing an eternity or something along those lines.
LOVE MY HYROAD!
I like the super nova in league, just not at box finish. Shine it up a bit and it really comes alive on house.
Shine it up ?
@@yankeesrule587
Shine it up means polish it.
I absolutely love the Super Nova, i tried an Rst x3 and a Gem before it and would always choose the Super Nova over them and had multiple 250+ games with it last season so you might wanna give it another try ;)
Made me feel a lot better when I seen 3 of my 4 ball are in the S tier :D and the 1 ball that wasn't a lot of people are saying it should (iQ Ruby). Im currently in the process of finishing out a 6 ball tournament arsenal, but I can't make up my mind with what I want to do with my last 2 balls. Current arsenal is RST X-3 , Phaze 2, iQ Ruby, and a Phaze 5. I was thinking a Gem, DNA, or SuperNova for the very top of my bag. Other side I was thinking of throwing a urethane in the bag but have never thrown one before.
highly recommond uc3 yes it is urethane but the reaction on the back end is so different hard to explain
Zen ball good is one of my go to balls in league
I love my UC3 in league even though some people get upset about it 😂 I also throw a Phaze 2, Zen and a physix depending on the lanes I’m on and the condition. I’m new to bowling and have only been in 2 leagues so far so I really appreciate the input you give us from a professionals standpoint
My last Storm ball i threw was the Storm Shift. Was an amazing ball for me! since then i've been out of the game for a long time and now that ive recently came back i went with Motiv. So all of these newer Storm i havent tried yet.
Where would you put the Zen Gold label on this list? and what grit would you suggest the Exotic Gem?
Love my Super Nova when there's enough volume to throw it. I'm throwing it around 18 mph with 350-375 rpm. It's a 45 x 4-1/2 x 30 layout out of box, works best with some lane shine for me on 20-year old pro-anvilane and 28 mils on a 43ft pattern. It's my game one ball and depending on who we're crossing with it can last up to two games. I had 2-300s with it this year. Definitely the strongest ball I own right now.
I just polished the Super Nova and I finally feel comfortable throwing it.
I take Super Nova, Phaze II, and Eternity to league. If I have another bag with me I’ve bring my Revenant too although it would never come out of the oil pattern is put down correctly. I usually have to stick with solid covers because for some reason my house shot is 43 feet and I can play up between 10-12 at the arrows most of the time. But when I practice you never know if you’re going to get a really burnt up pair or something with a ton of carry down so it’s a lot harder to pick which balls to bring when it’s not league
Dude my house is the same way exactly 43 ft heavier house shot so most of the night I’m in stronger solid stuff….game 1 typically Proton Physics at some point in game 2 usually go with something along the lines of my Crux Prime or Axiom solid game 3 is usually Code Red maybe Code Black or Intense Fire 🔥
With the pitch black, used quite a bit in league. Has definitely saved my skin when I've not been able to throw my reactive well. Absolutely love it for league.
What’s up D-tang been loving your tour videos keep it up my dude
As a lefty. The SPEC cover has been the best for me. Got the Pro-Motion and Crux Prime in my bag and just got a Sun Storm. My 3rd ball though is a Honey Badger Revival to give me a different look if the solid's are puking on the backend.
Iove my Crux prime. I've had the whole line and wish they would continue it
I've thrown a plastic ball in league for 11 years. Always had trouble keeping reactive balls from overhooking with the way I throw it. But I got an Idol Cosmos, and I'm averaging 230+ with it in league. Fantastic ball and completely agree with it being in S-tier. I can count on one hand the number of times that I felt like I threw it well and didn't get a strike. Every time I've left pins, I know exactly what I did wrong.
Thanks for giving hp Columbus Ohio a shout out! If you come back let's get some games in!
The Hustle Camo was my favorite league ball this year, followed by the Hyped Solid and Phaze II. They are excellent compliment balls. Super smooth, inexpensive, and predictable. I'm speed rev balanced and a 210 average.
I have been using the Omega Crux, The OG Phaze and a Pro-motion with my Mix as a spare. What do you think?
Love my super nova! It's my go to for heavier oil conditions. I really strong but a smooth hooking ball that's starts mid lane. I got this ball in December and threw 3 300's already. It's my favorite ball
Great news. What’s your speed and rev rate?
High friction house with a 5 man team league directly ahead of us. Hy-road all day.
Definitely wanna see S Tier bowling. I want a stretch of 3 weeks where you try to score. First two weeks of etching your grove and then the third to show up and see if you average 267 over 3 games!
in my six ball bag are black golden widow zen master rack attack fate mix and volatility but i got a jackal ambush to replace my global 900 volatility to replace it once it burns out
If still available where would you place ufo alert ?
GLOBAL 900 burner pearl!!!!!!
Yesssss‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ LOVE THESE TIER LISTS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Keep these going Darren ‼️💯✊🏾
I am a hammer man I use the hammer ghost hammer 2.0 and the hammer raw thank you Floyd
Hey Darren. Really appreciate this video. I'm 40 years old and I've been out of the bowling game for a good 5 or 6 years. I'm about a mid rev player and the last time I was in league I was playing with the DV8 Thug line. Honestly didn't like it that much, found the reactions way too unpredictable for me. But this helps me see what's out there these days. Anyway, I subbed for future vids, thanks again.
i love my IQ ruby and dark code they seem too work well together in my league atm, my 2 favorite pearls since the marvel pearl.
So in League I've been Starting with a Zen Master, Shined and 90% of the time I start off great, my issue is knowing when to get out of it and what to go too. I've been going to a RST X2 or a Nova surface taken to 4000, from there I go into my Hustle USA. I'm 53 been bowling my entire life Average usually around 210, lord knows if I was consistent on my 10 pin makes could be alot better. But I've really been trying to understand the Equipment how it works and when and what t switch too. I do only throw the Storm, Global, Roto line. I of course have a Phaze 2 but it's used probably need a new one. I loved this video especially for league. But can you discuss what kind of balls you should start with, and what signs might tell you it's time to switch and what you would switch too as the lanes change. I appreciate all your Videos whether a review or on Tour Vid. Good luck on your next Tournament.
Do u like any of the hammer balls for league? I understand this is not that video just curious.
Hellzzz yeah!
i wanna see you throw the Radical Outer Limits
I got my setup let’s say years ago when I played and took a lot of time off. I just got back into bowling. Joined a league last not and got a 180 avg I use roto grip Sinister and ebonite tornado. For house and league I can get them to do what I need. I will upgrade later but these older balls are working great.
Fantastic breakdown! Anyone can chime in here...looking for a ball recommendation for league on fresh. I'm an avg speed, avg to low rev bowler. I can play 12/13 to 5/6 for all 3 games usually every week. Thanks guys!
Stay with the solid stronger stuff if your speed / Rev matched or speed dominate the weaker balls are typically better for your rev dominant / slower speed players
I prefer to play down and in, so over the years I've mainly used Tropical Breeze, but this year, my avg is way down (normally around 210, but sitting just under 200 now).. back in November, I shot 780 series (3 games) and but that was an anomaly this year. Found out that the Kegel oil machine was 'broken'... it was laying oil 2L to 2R, like a sport shot. So, I struggled in all 3 leagues, until I decided about 2 months ago to just drop my ball speed by a couple MPH, and started shooting 600's again, but that only lasted 3 weeks. Something else changed on the lanes, so I broke out the ball I rarely use due to how much it hooks for me. Hyroad pearl to the rescue! I went from low to mid 500's to destroying pins again and getting mid 600's and some 700's. If I could put together a decent 3rd game, I would be getting near 800 (256, 258, 200, then 256, 267, 204 this past week alone). I gotta say, I love the Hyroad Pearl right now!
What’s up DTang. Love the content. So i currently throw the Super Nova. Only thrown on House Shoots no League. I definitely think it should be a B tier ball. But my rev rate is low so maybe that’s why I get a good reaction from this ball. Definitely looking into the EX Gem or Eternity for a good combo with my SNova
I really enjoyed watching this video alot
If the fate isn’t S tier I swear
(Edit) Damn
Thank you for making this video
recommendations on weight? I used to bowl in a league in my late teens, averaged 180 using a 15 pounder. Now I'm just starting to get back in at 47, fat and out of shape, lol, and after not playing for 30 years, I played two strings for the first time yesterday and Just broke 100 using a 15 lb house ball. Today, I was able to pull a 168, 177, 180, and 190 using a 10 lb house ball and trying the two-finger method just for kicks. Will I get laughed off the lanes if I settle back in with a 10 pounder? Even if I bring my average up to 180 or better? I do want to get my own ball again.
Awesome video! I got a sneak peek of the next video today!
But I think the supernova is a great league ball! Shot my first 300 with it in league. Atleast belongs in the A tier and the gem belongs in the S tier.
Also just bought a phase 2 cause of your reviews and “must have balls” keep killing it 🤙🏼
I have found the GEM better at getting good mix than any ball I have thrown in 50 years.
I threw a 300 with my Idol Cosmos a week after having it drilled……it hasn’t been the same since lol but all rough patches shall pass
For a long time I thought the super nova was also C tier. It was the first ball i bought in 7 yrs and man did I feel like i made a huge mistakes for months. Fairly inexperienced bowler 189 avg. But after doing some work on my form and trying to find its line on my house, I've found a really nice place with it bowled a 257 high game and a 615 series this first night of summer league. Still only a B tier maybe A tier.
damn such a great video/topic
interesting to see the OG and Hyroad Pearl lowered to B tier for league. Could just be me but also I think the 4k fast and having to "re-spec" them to match their old out of box finish has made a difference with them too (I just bought another OG to replace my old one and it's not the same even after the "re-spec"). dude, it could alllllll just be mental just idk
also sad I never got an RST x2 which was a GOAT league ball where I'm at
I feel like most people sleep on the Hyped Hybrid. That is my go-to ball no matter where I bowl. It has some lane shine now, which makes it a little squirrely game one, but game two and three its money!
Excellent video Darren. I bowl in 3 different houses on their house shot and carry a 4 ball roller but swap out for the difference. An infinite physix saved me in the Thunderbowl arena. I was suffering with ringing 7s until I got it. Being more angular. I'll carry that, an IQ tour, IQ ruby, and Revenant. One house is flooded so I swap out the IQ tour for a hyped solid at 2000. One house I always carry a Rubicon to that has been detoxed twice and still makes me money.
It felt like Darren read my mind when he said he was sure we wanted a video of him throwing D tier bowling balls 😂
Also, bought myself a Gem last year or the year before so I had something super strong in the bag and, perhaps it was the 5” pin but, I just don’t like it. Too smooth and if I throw it too hard it’s going right through the breakpoint. Thought about throwing some compound or polish on it just to see if it would look something similar to my brutal Collision.
The DNA and Gem are pretty killer on the fresh on a typical 42' house shot, if they're drilled pin down. The IQ Ruby is killer in the 3rd game. Tropical Surge decent spare ball if you throw it straight.
I would like to see you throw every tier throughout the season. In my current bag I have the X3 and Hyped solid. I just picked up an Eternity too. But the Hyped Solid has been my favorite to throw this past season.
Why isn’t proton physix included in the tier list?
For me, it's at the top of my list! It's such a great ball. It would be nice to throw all the balls reviewed in this video as I am sure there are other great balls out there (I assume the Absolute would be pretty good).
The DNA at first was too early at first, but shined up, it's absolutely AMAZING
Spot on in my opinion. My league balls are in your S list so I feel great! Great video. Love these vids.
Just started bowling , have been watching all your stuff,working my way through the older ones…clearly , one let me get that white storm ball! Second hope the elbow heals up quick!!!!
I love the super nova great ball for league
Hi - I’m in a Junior League. Currently I use the Storm Tropical Surge bowling ball. I’m planning to upgrade. I’ve thinking of buying either the Roto Grip Hustle M & M or the Storm Ruby or the Emerald color IQ bowling ball. My question is which of these 3 bowling balls would you suggest to be my next step up?
Many thanks
I throw an electrify go on house shots. I love it.
As someone who is about to start a new league next month and wants to get a new ball for it, perfectly timed upload!
Great information. RST X3 as an S tier ball makes me so happy!

Did I miss the Harsh Reality? I threw a new personal best game and series during the first week of owning mine. I just started bowling again this season after a 35+ year gap due to injury, and I had only bowled two years in league way back then, so I’m sort of starting over and had a 155 average at the beginning of this league season. Now I’m at about 167, and the personal best I mentioned was a 252 game followed up by a new personal best series a few days later of 691 (230, 232, & 229), so I was really happy with my Harsh Reality ball that first couple weeks of using it. I cooled off a bit after that and had to learn how to properly clean and maintain the surface of my Harsh Reality ball, but I still love it. I also bought a new Hammer Black Widow 3.0 about the same time, but I waited until after I had taken a couple lessons, before I got it drilled, and about ten days ago, while practicing, I bowled another personal best game of 280, with the Black Widow 3.0. The only spare was in the second frame, and I started the next game with two more strikes, which totaled twelve strikes in a row, so now I’m dreaming of the day where I bowl a 300. Not bad for an almost 68 year old, with a bad back.
Just shot my first 300 tonight in league with an electrify
I still think you should only throw plastic. There’s plenty of friction at south point for it.
0:23 love the tier lists Darren the best most interesting content you have can’t wait for the next one
Great video as usual! But! We don't get free bowling balls. So for most of us we have maybe 6 balls. So what are the top 6 balls should we consider? Thanks!
Hi bro!! can you help me My bowling booa is broken and broken and all I have is the old ball dv8 misfit and brunswick c-system alphamax .. in 20th May have a selection for the state will be held.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me with a new bowling ball from 2022/23 and thank you in advance 😢.
Love from your supporters at 🇲🇾
#alwayssupport #bowlinglovers
I have been bouncing between 4 balls in league so far tjis year. Eternity, Reality Check , Zen Gold label and UC3. 737 with my Gold label 3 weeks ago on Route 66 second shift women's carry down.
love your videos! Thanks for the info on all the bowling balls!
Hey I’m new to your channel been watching for a few weeks. I’ve only bowled in Sunday leagues and have been bowling in Sunday leagues for like a little less than a year and I’ve only been using house balls. My highest scores are 267 227 and 210, I’d like to graduate from a house ball to my own ball but idk which one to get. I throw one hand no thumb and my throw and hook on the ball is super inconsistent so idrk where to go from here.
Advice from anyone would be super helpful
Phase 2 and Absolute is my favorite !
Could you try out Motiv balls like Venom Shock and Fatal Venom?
I use my black widow 2.0, crypto radical. I throw straight and for my dry lane Hustle
I want the gem, big foot.
TNT. Anyone else?
I don't like my super nova for league and go back to my reign supreme as a benchmark ball. What ball is similar to the reign supreme? Mine is very beat-up. I'm a low/mid rev lefty stroker
Thank you Darren for this review. I’ve been using the Roto Grip Hyped Pearl for about a year now in league but not too happy with it. Thinking about going to a Phase two. Your thoughts would be awesome. Thanks.
Vitamin DTang bringing out a league list! Its a great day
What core ABS COMPE URETHANE USE? Cnt find any information, about it .please help😢
For my competitive league that I’m in I only have a 190 avg first 2 games I usually use the dna then the last 2 I use the exotic gem usually the last 2 games are my highest games but I only own A-sym balls (other then the purple hammer) would it be worth trying to get a sym solid as a benchmark ball as I find the dna sometimes gets off line way to early, I am a rev dominant player as I’m 2 handed and only throw about 25-26 km on average
I love league!
If you think a certain ball makes you a better bowler.....you're not a better bowler😎😎😎😎
Threw one of my better games today via league with a Hyroad Pearl 255
Throw a pitch black fast pitch pitch purple heck yeah anyone complain bowl better I'm a 146avg so yeah throw one. I don't always throw my pitch purple but it's a go to an sometimes it the 80s hello spare ball only day.
I LOVE LEAGUE!!!
I’m 70 plus left handed but could be still a 200 bowler. In two houses I bowl in have changed oil more braking guess I have to change equipment but to what.
Well, my Code red, my No rules pearl, my Idol, my Invasion, my HPD pro active, my Gem at 4000, and of course, my Altered reality all are still being used for me!! My Intense and Blue wolverine are at home. P.S i recently purchased a Hammer 2.0 hybrid. 266 with a missed 5 pin out of box🎉 Thanks...
Jana’s smoking crack putting the infinite physix in B-tier 😂
