In my opinion, Verity provides some of the best and most detailed information on bowling balls and other equipment. Love watching any content she’s a part of
I really liked how you changed the surface so you could have a similar comparison and that it creates length. I did see that the pins although drilled in your favorite pin down layout are different lengths does that affect any of the balls characteristics? I think it used to because I remember always needing a long pin. Thanks,
The strength of the cores in today's bowling balls override the effect of static weight; therefore the placement of the CG doesn't have much of an impact, especially with current static weight rules.
I appreciate your review of the VEBO and PBO both dull and shiny. This really shows me how similar they really are. On a separate note, I find this cover to be really interesting. I have a VEBO and a Night Road, both with the REX Pearl cover. I feel like it's both strong and not at the same time. What's your preferred surface prep for a VEBO or PBO?
Hi, could you explain why you would choose a pin down layout and reduce the flare of a new bowling ball? I see a lot of professionals, staff members, and typical league bowlers putting pin down layouts, short pin, etc. and I dont understand why. Manufacturers make many different bowling balls for the array of conditions and patterns bowlers face, so why not use a typical pin up layout and get the most out of the design intent of the ball instead of guessing what you want to get out of the ball or think how it will react? Im genuinely curious and trying to understand. Thank you 🎳
That's a good question. First of all, a well-balanced arsenal should most definitely have bowling balls that flare more as well as bowling balls that flare less. Different patterns will require different angles of play and that is where flare potential can come into play. In most cases, having the maximum amount of flare is totally unnecessary and can often make ball motion worse. Further, every bowler should know what "flare range" works the best for their style of play. Verity, for example, doesn't need a lot of flare in her equipment because she is rev-dominant and has no issues "hooking" the bowling ball. Bowling balls that flare a lot have a very small window of use and are often simply to strong for her; therefore, we used the pin-down layout that results in slightly less flare and makes the ball more useable.
Good move Storm connecting with Verity. Informative and easy to understand. My Phase 2 and Phase 5 (2000 grit surface) live in my 3-ball bag.

Thanks for watching.
Might be my first storm ball .. this ball looks good
Definitely a good one to have. ⚡️
You roll that ball so well! That’s what I wanna be able to do then what ball I use would make a difference 😂

Surface preparation depends on the situation. Normally, the VEBO stays somewhat shiny while the PhysiX Blackout will stay dull.
@@TheBowlingPassport - thank you for the response! I appreciate it.
Whats your typical pin down layout
Verity's typical pin down layout for asymmetrical bowling balls is 60 x 4 3/4 x 80.
That ball hook is smooth (ofcourse due to that pin down you did). Very reliable
The ball is pretty smooth.
Great ball review! Please tell us your actual pin down layout. Thanks
👍
I know you can't right now. But have you ever thrown anything other than Storm products?
She has.
Need some extra lessons based video. Targeting and release
Thanks for your feedback. 🎳
