@@LuisNapoles I hope so. i bowled my 4th 300 game (3rd sanctioned) the week before I fell on ice and tore my rotator cuff. Hoping that was not my last 300 game
Hi Luis, I completely agree with your comment about the Idol being excellent on sport shots and I just don't like it on house shots. I much prefer hybrid coverstocks for house shots.
@@LuisNapoles you seem to have a much more controlled swing than mine, which is comparable to Pete Weber's in his early days. I have a hard time being consistent with my release due to the high backswing, which I'm sure is keeping me from having a higher average. I'm currently in the low to upper 190's, and have been for the majority of the last 20 years but, I know my potential is 210-220.
Keep up the great video man..from our last chat the zen 1500 polish is amazing. Picked up a 900 global black gold classic jersey from the shop cause of you and also a Gem..back to competitions and building that arsenal. Would love to add another jersey to rep during competition play..keep it going brother!!
The right ball for the right job indeed. I rebuilt my arsenal this past season for my home center which was a high friction center. But now they've gotten a newer lane machine. And now there's much more oil than before. The lanes play totally different. So I'm trying more surface to compensate. But I've got my eye on a PII.
I'm in agreement with you in that this Idol Cosmos is a must have, especially for a house shot. For sport patterns I do believe it'll be a great transition ball as well. I'd love to see this video re-shot on a house pattern. That OG Idol needs to redeem itself LOL
Just curious, are you making these videos very early in the morning or real late at night? Just curious sense if I try to practice during the day between the morning leagues and afternoon leagues, there are just too many non league bowlers bowling on the lanes next to you and they don’t have any idea of lane courtesy. Thanks.
No, No not on your video, but only when I go to practice at the different lanes. People are just so inconsiderate. I’m into my approach and they run up on your side and pass you and thrown or roll their ball. It just too hard to concentrate on what your trying to work on. When I watch your video especially at SP, there are a few people practicing but nothing near the amount of people at noon or later. Just trying to find out if your at there at 6am or so when it’s not so busy. Thanks
Awesome video... I would like to see the Helios v Cosmos v Pink Idol Comparison on both house and sports shot. Secondly, when you see that you're leaving 10 pins (for me as a lefty, 7 pins), what's your adjustment? 🤔
Hey Luis, it was kind of tough to watch that, lol! I had the same experience with the Idol at an SPI demo several years back, it was clearly too strong for house shots. But that's mainly what I bowl on, so back then I bought an Idol Pearl instead. "Right tool for the right job," as you like to say!
I like my cosmos but sometimes it is a little sensitive to speed for me. It is something that I am working on getting better at but when I get the speed just right, it slaps!
I've been trying to make an arsenal for highschool matches and tournaments and I've finally made one and I wanted your opinion on it 1.reality 2.zen soul 3.infinite physix 4.volatility torque 5.phaze 2 6.honey badger revival 7.ufo alert 8.storm ice٫ I have 23 balls so it was hard to make
Yeah Lou, that Idol is out of control. Not for you on House. Would love to see a follow up of both balls on Sport. Maybe something difficult like Shark or Bear.
Yeah Luis I’m definitely gonna get the Idol Cosmos‼️ I know a lot of my friends are getting the Infinite Physic’s due to the popularity. But my eye have always been on that Idol Cosmos. And one question can I use this joint for transition and maybe on the 3rd game?
You suck Napoles cuz now I need this ball but you can offset my cost a little bit by gifting 🎁 me a jersey. I want that Dark Moss too go green! Do you prefer a certain ball color the swirley stuff shows bad shots 😆 I like black
I haven't thrown the original Idol but that Helios and Cosmos are money... so good.
I didn’t match up with the Helios 😭😭
@@LuisNapoles that's the only reason I got the Cosmos and it's better than the Helios in my opinion.
I've recently had rotator cuff surgery so all I can do right now is watch videos and hope I don't suck when I return
You'll come back STRONG!
@@LuisNapoles I hope so. i bowled my 4th 300 game (3rd sanctioned) the week before I fell on ice and tore my rotator cuff. Hoping that was not my last 300 game
Yes please 🙏 redo on a sports shot
Yea I will!
I’m really liking the motion/shape of the cosmos. Good review!
It’s my favorite ball right now
Both are great looking balls.
In the right situations yes!
Hi Luis, I completely agree with your comment about the Idol being excellent on sport shots and I just don't like it on house shots. I much prefer hybrid coverstocks for house shots.
Nice!
Yes!
Of course we want a sport shot video comparison..
And yeah! For 0 foul!
I need to do more sport shot videos
Ooo a sport shot comparison would be good
Yea I gotta!
12:54 Phoenix White approves
Brutal! LOL
OG Idol is the best...Sadly I never drilled a fresh one so hopefully the cosmos will live up to this!
Cosmos is prob my favorite ball out right now
I really enjoyed watching this video from you friend
Thanks!
Used the original Idol in doubles at Hoinke, shot 198, 222, 203.
Good set!
I’m still using my Idol Pearl and the original Rubicon.
Idol pearl is so good!
I think I see a Cosmos in my future.
I think I see lots of strikes in your future!
Luis I agree house shot with the idol it’s not good, it also forces me to move way left as well
All about using them on the right conditions!
Just ordered the cosmos with your link!
Nice! I really appreciate that Cruz!
@@LuisNapoles no problem I make sure to order all my stuff though the links for you!
Love this video alot from you friend
Thanks
Wish I had an og Idol
There’s still out there!
@@LuisNapoles how does it compare to the gem
I just purchased a new Idol Cosmos on Ebay for $129.95 1st quality with a 4 inch pin. I think I got a pretty good deal.
Oh wow!
Great video! I want a cosmos so bad 😭
You should!
@@LuisNapoles my wife said if I spend any more money on bowling she's going to kill me 🤣 I basically just built a full arsenal lol
leaving a comment :) just got a reality check and the cosmos is on the list next!
Nice!
I think a comparison with the Cosmos and the RST3X would be a good one. Would like to see that.
I can prob make that happen
I keep my og idol pin down at 1000 grit on house it kills it
Nice!!
Wish I had your backswing. My arsenal would probably be much more "deadly" if I could get my swing plane down.
You def dont want my swing! Still a HUGE work in progress!

Awesome video from you friend I love this video from you friend
Thanks!
Definitely try a sport shot. I don’t think these were the right conditions for the original Idol.
Yea I’m definitely gonna have to!
The more I watch the Cosmos, the more I’m wanting it.
Keep up the great vids!
Prob close to my favorite ball right now
"Throw me the Idol! I throw you the whip!"
Used your code & got a sweet Radical jersey. I need moar!
I appreciate that!
I have 2 of the original Idols, one pin up. And one pin down.
Soooooo good on oil!
Love your channel. Getting to see what a ball can do before I get it has been really nice.
I appreciate that Tim!
Love the videos. Would love to see more tips for getting better. Keep up the great work
Yea I wanna make more of those!
Do you still throw the OG
On sport yea I do!
love all the reviews brother ,keep it up ,the cosmos is sick ,house shot killer
I think so!
Keep up the great video man..from our last chat the zen 1500 polish is amazing.

P2 is always an answer!
Get you some TruCut pads from CTD! Easy way to resurface on the fly bro 😎
No thanks 😂😂 Abralon only for me
Another great video Luis. Simply the best bowling content on TH-cam, glad to see the channel growing!
I really appreciate you saying that!
Love watching your videos man. Always help me decide on my ball purchases & always spot on with ball comparisons. Keep on doing what you do best.
I really appreciate that!
Every time you ask “what’s going on, guys?” I respond by saying “ehh, not a whole lot. Watching your video”.
Well dam it I appreciate that!
Luis, what's your opinion on polishing the Cosmos? I have slow ball speed. Thanks!
Personally I hate polish but it will make the ball longer and more angular which IMO takes away from what makers it so good
@@LuisNapoles Thanks, I roll a 14…I’ll just let it lane shine before making a decision!
Sweet coolwick jersey! Quick question what balls do you like for a low rev 17mph stroker?
Stronger cover balls!
Hey Luis. I dig the pineapple jersey. Kinda reminds me of the legend himself Walter Ray! 🤩
I like it!
I'm a big roto grip fan ,that hustle USA looks like another house shot killer
It really is though!
I trust your opinion a lot of that what do you think if I buy this bowling ball idol cosmos will it be right fit with bowling balls I have
I think so yea!
Really Nice shirt ! Where can I find it ?
CoolWick.com and use promo code NAPOLES10
Good afternoon friend how are you doing today
Fantastic! You?
So I have never owned an idol but I’m definitely considering adding the Cosmos to my arsenal
Cosmos is MONEY!
The cosmos is so pretty. I could watch it go down the lane all day.
I'm in agreement with you in that this Idol Cosmos is a must have, especially for a house shot. For sport patterns I do believe it'll be a great transition ball as well. I'd love to see this video re-shot on a house pattern. That OG Idol needs to redeem itself LOL
Yea I’ll definitely have to do that!
I had the Idol Pearl but wore it out. Just bought a Cosmos. Looking forward to throwing it in leagues in 3 weeks. Where did the summer go?
Seriously!
Just curious, are you making these videos very early in the morning or real late at night? Just curious sense if I try to practice during the day between the morning leagues and afternoon leagues, there are just too many non league bowlers bowling on the lanes next to you and they don’t have any idea of lane courtesy.

Who’s interfering with lane courtesy here?
No, No not on your video, but only when I go to practice at the different lanes. People are just so inconsiderate.

Just trying to find out if your at there at 6am or so when it’s not so busy. Thanks
Idol cosmos is the best ball and I would love to see you compare it to the magic gem.
Man I like that shirt you are wearing, I like to drink, eat and cook with pineapples 🍍 I think the cosmos will complement my nova
It definitely will !!
Do you have 300 ring or bowl 300 in a tournament before
Yes I have
Awesome video... I would like to see the Helios v Cosmos v Pink Idol Comparison on both house and sports shot. Secondly, when you see that you're leaving 10 pins (for me as a lefty, 7 pins), what's your adjustment? 🤔
just depends on what kinda 10 pin I am leaving!
You ever thought about a upside down pineapple shirt?
Keep on 🤡🤡🤡
I’m gunna be broke buying all these new balls you’re reviewing. Can you recommend a side hustle to support my bowling addiction? 🤣
TH-cam is a GREAT side hustle!
How would in your opinion the Cosmos compare to the Hammer Obsession tour pearl . Just figured since you enjoyed that ball as well.
I think the OTP would be cleaner and quicker down lane!
Lanes looking cliffed
Sams town so yes LOL
I have both & I still favor the og idol, but I haven't really haven't had alot of time to practice with the cosmos.
On sport I prefer the OG but on house its not even close!
RG Idol Is one of my best balls at the present time. 50 x 5 x 75 Smooth.....
Smooth and STRONG
Since I have no current plans to bowl on sports shots, I think the Cosmo is the ball! Is a Hyped Hybrid video coming soon?
Hyped Solid video drops tomorrow!
Hey Luis, it was kind of tough to watch that, lol! I had the same experience with the Idol at an SPI demo several years back, it was clearly too strong for house shots. But that's mainly what I bowl on, so back then I bought an Idol Pearl instead. "Right tool for the right job," as you like to say!
Yes!!! On heavier patterns it’s money!
I like my cosmos but sometimes it is a little sensitive to speed for me. It is something that I am working on getting better at but when I get the speed just right, it slaps!
Keep working! Ball def slaps!

I like that! Maybe add a symmetrical pearl like a Wolverine dark moss or zen
Yeah Lou, that Idol is out of control. Not for you on House. Would love to see a follow up of both balls on Sport. Maybe something difficult like Shark or Bear.
Yea def will make that happen!
If the idol is close to being your best sport ball of all time, then what is your best sport ball of all time????
I would say p2 or !Q tour solid
Yeah Luis I’m definitely gonna get the Idol Cosmos‼️ I know a lot of my friends are getting the Infinite Physic’s due to the popularity. But my eye have always been on that Idol Cosmos. And one question can I use this joint for transition and maybe on the 3rd game?
You def can!
#zerofouls lol
I don't own an Idol but would consider the COSMOS
ZERO!
If I’m able to get a Idol I will not drill it pin up
You suck Napoles cuz now I need this ball but you can offset my cost a little bit by gifting 🎁 me a jersey. I want that Dark Moss too go green! Do you prefer a certain ball color the swirley stuff shows bad shots 😆 I like black
LOL
Zero fouls! LOL
Let’s go!!!
