I have this ball and as a lefty I can say honestly the amount of 7 pins I leave is significantly lower. Also one of my favorite balls I’ve ever thrown. Probably my favorite
Love the review. My problem is that I don't get the revs or speed that you guys do so my ball reaction is much different than yours. Any chance you do a part of these reviews for those of us who enjoy bowling but don't have the speed or revs that you guys get. I think it would be interesting to see the reaction of these balls at different levels. Thanks!
I am really proud of Brad. He has been stepping up his TH-cam game. When I first started watching the Missouri duo, Kyle was doing most of the editing and it seems to me that Brad needed Kyle's approval to record the videos that are uploaded on their channel. Now it is time for Kyle to come to Brad's home center in Sugar Creek, MO (if Brad is still bowling there) to upload some instructional videos. I am also happy for Kyle with all of his hard bowling work with Coach Daniel and Coach Mike Jasnau. His form looks better day by day. If Kyle has Brad's attitude when bowling blocks are over, Kyle will be at a better mental place and potentially allow himself to win more titles.
That advice at the end of the video was mind blowing to me. I throw a lot of strong Asyms because my style requires them but I do tend to start leaving single pins more throughout the night even when I move boards. Maybe after game 1, if I start leaving single pins, I can move down to like you said a weaker Sym like my Axiom.
I'm so upset he didn't mention it smells like frosted cupcakes. The Proton Physix is a $175 air-freshener that i guess is good at knocking down pins or whatever.
Love my Proton! Carries through the pins well and loves oil! Hits like a truck. Has the shape of my Crux Prime when it goes down the lane but a bit stronger. Both amazing balls from Storm! Top notch company that produces top of the line bowling equipment.
Seemed like that pin in the ring layout for you tamed the Proton just a bit too much for that pattern... looked like it couldn’t turn the corner well. The pinup Phaze 2 looked better, IMO. Thanks for the video though!
Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't take the pin position into account much in this video AND the video where he compares it to the Reality. A true pin up Proton PhysiX is a MONSTER. Especially on long (loooooong) patterns.
Hey Brad! How would you compare the Proton Physix to the Syre Lock? I might be able to get a Sure Lock for pretty cheap from my friend, but at the same time, I've been looking at the Proton Physix. What have you seen from throwing those balls?
Wow...looks like u polished that thing up quite a bit. I remember the sure lock....never got it but I did get the snap lock which I hate but sometimes have to use and the original lock which I use all the time. My go to benchmark ball for almost everything
Most male pros use either 15 or 16 pound bowling balls. What I did, when I selected my weight, I've gone to the rack of house balls and thrown a few of those. Which ever weight feels most comfortable, with your arm swing is what you should go with. Now keep in mind too, the heavier the ball, the more pin action you will have as well.
@@michaelvandehey6860 In my experience if you can comfortably throw a certain weight house ball you can go a pound heavier with one that’s drilled to fit your hand. Obviously this does not apply to two handers or other no thumb bowlers.
I really like the Storm Marvel Pearl and have an AstroPhysix for when it starts getting drier. But lately my alley has been putting down tons of oil and I have to move way outside just to get to the pocket. Should I get a Proton Physix to handle that condition?
Yes. Proton + heavy oil/longer patterns = the perfect match. Make sure it's drilled correctly, though. If there's a lot of oil, you probably want to avoid pin down, probably even avoid the layout Brad has, as the pin in his ring finger neuters a lot of this thing's powah.
Love this ball. Won my first tournament with the proton. Absolutely love the Astro physics got 3rd place so the that ball. Any physix they come out with I will be getting. Never had the original though
@@joeyrobles4282 Yes sir the Astro pearl dark blue they just discontinued. I have that but you know Storm will be making a new one. Just like the Physix original they made the Proton. They will do the same with the Astro they only sold about a billion of all three.😀😃😄😁😆😅👍
Everything you said I agree with the as Proton is SICK when your on with it...WHOA it is hard to beat! I start with it and my Wild Streak sometime on one each lane, but us the Dual Lock and Sapphire IQ as well, but want another Sym Solid...I think I throw the IQ the best at times, but the Proton looks pretty hitting the pocket. So what do I get the Axiom, Phase II, or the Hy-Road Max or even the Pitch Purple??? Any suggestions those are the 4 balls I bring to league and can use the Streak and IQ for corners. ;) I also have a Evolve and All Road which don't like me so much on the house shot for some reason. Holla Back!
Not really good or bad, just an indication of how much the core is "wobbling" as it goes down the lane. The more rings the more the core is flaring and exposing fresh cover to the lane.
@@jeremiegrund I think that the more the core flares the more space there will be between rings. Number of rings is partly a function of rev rate and how much oil is on the lane.
The Phaze 2 is a really early rolling ball, whereas the Axiom is a bit later and sharper because of the core, so it wouldn't have been as close of a comparison as the Phaze 2
@@curtis4429 from what I've seen, a lot of the Axioms roll a lot stronger downlane, and the Phaze 2 rolls stronger in the mid and fronts. Idk, I'm not a storm/roto guy, I'm a Motiv bowler
Got both start with the Proton then go to the Physix when lanes break down. Then when they get a little toasty bring on the Astro. Atomic core sweet. 😀😃😄
I think that's just the look of the Vacugrips, because I know a lot of people that use those have them cut like that, but it could also be trimming the parts that stick out a little due to pitch in the finger holes so the grip is the right pitch, but is also flush with the surface of the ball
Hey Brad and Kyle, just saw your “Packy making a run” email, saw the shirts, and followed the link. I love the How’s the Left? Shirt and want to buy one. There’s just one small problem. The caption on the shirt Packy is wearing says “Packy Masonary Company”. It should say “Masonry”, as masonary is not even a word. Haha, not trying to hate or anything! Just thought you guys might want to know, so maybe you could fix it? I’m sure that’s easier said than done, but we lefties have it bad as it is, don’t need to be ridiculed for not being able to spell too!! Thanks guys, keep it up!!
@@evanseacatt6185 I have all three there my main equipment. I hope they make more with Atomic core. Have the Phase 3,Parallax not even close. Have a good one.👍
To sum it up. Brad got this ball for free from Storm in order to talk about how much he loves it. So even if he absolutely hated the ball we'd have no idea because he's only keeping it real to the company that pays him money. Want real bowling ball reviews? Look up reviews from people that do not profit from their reviews for a company they are sponsored by.
As an example. I listened to too many pros that were telling us that the Axiom Pearl is an "AMAZING BALL". Basically calling it a "MUST HAVE BALL" and that "ALL BOWLERS SHOULD HAVE THIS IN THEIR ARSENAL". So of course I decided to pick one up and it's been my least favorite ball in the 30 years I've been bowling. With my Hammer Gauntlet (assym) I consistenly average 200+ and in the month I've been using my Axiom Pearl my average has only been around a 155-160. We're talking a 40-50 pin difference! I'm ready to throw my Axiom Pearl into garbage at this point.
You guys should do another Arsenal video now that Kyle has storm bowling balls
Yeah! Great idea Broski! I think that would be such a great idea considering that Kyle switched brands. Great Vid Idea. Your Awesome!
Age and physical concerns have stopped my bowling yet I positively love these Brad and Kyle vids , thank you !
I have this ball and as a lefty I can say honestly the amount of 7 pins I leave is significantly lower. Also one of my favorite balls I’ve ever thrown. Probably my favorite
Same as a lefty I had no problems with this ball
Seems purple to me lmao 😂

Got one of these coming in the mail today, can’t wait to try it out
It’s a hook monster!!!
Your gonna love it!!! ;)
You'll love it. I drilled mine pin up! Hooks like a beast!
It's a gnarly ball. Hooks like no tomorrow! It also smells like an overload of cupcakes.
This is one of my favorite balls ever
198 avg and threw first complete series with this last night. 708!!
I recently shot a 705 series with my proton physics
KYLE, CONGRATS ON YOUR WIN 🤘🤘 // BRAD YOU RULE, YOU GUYS ARE VERY WELL VERSED ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF BOWLING AND THANKS FOR YOUR INSIGHT GUYS 👍👍

Careful, pin down syms leave a lot of corner pins too, but better than throwing a solid on a burnt lane
My 3 ball right now is this, an axiom, and a pitch black for spares
Hello, how can i have it shipped in the phils? How much will it cost? Can you guide me? Thanks.
I'm so upset he didn't mention it smells like frosted cupcakes.
The Proton Physix is a $175 air-freshener that i guess is good at knocking down pins or whatever.
😂😂
He’s not capping I just got mine the other day and that shit smells like vanilla or some shit I was tripping out 🤣🤣
Brad ...Great review . I love what you have done to your basement too.....
Can you bring back the where in the Arsenal does it fit segment of your reviews
The pin is in the ring finger?
How would you compare the p2 to the axiom?
i just bought this ball about a week ago i have been averageing about 195 with it so far through about 20 games
Good stuff brad. Love what y’all do, keep it up
What do you guys do with the balls your not using you buy new all the time .
Love this style of video. You guys should put more of these out. To highlight different balls.
Is your coaching deal still going on?
Our coaching group goes all year long 😉
You need to do a ball video with both of you guys in it
Love my Proton! Carries through the pins well and loves oil! Hits like a truck. Has the shape of my Crux Prime when it goes down the lane but a bit stronger. Both amazing balls from Storm! Top notch company that produces top of the line bowling equipment.
Nice video. Any comparisons to the Axiom with the Proton PhysiX?
You guys should do another arsenal video with the new balls
How can I make my axiom solid hook more do I polish it to get more back end I am a 2 hander with medium to high rev rate
Did u polish you bowling balls?
Hey should I polish my proton Physix? My pin is just under my ring finger (right hand). It rolls up so early.
Seemed like that pin in the ring layout for you tamed the Proton just a bit too much for that pattern... looked like it couldn’t turn the corner well. The pinup Phaze 2 looked better, IMO. Thanks for the video though!

Is the Proton Physix still effectively strong if polished? Is it longer and sharper but just as much hook as the out of box 2000 Abralon finish?
Big storm fan but unfortunately due to all the covid bs there are no bowling centers near me anymore. I think the closest is 3 hrs away now maybe
Just ordered one. I'm pretty excited. It is a monster of a ball.
Just bought it yesterday and I love it!
Got me a Proton Physix a few weeks ago been crushing it thing hooks a lot
My Phase II is the bomb. Shined with a true cut 5000 pad.

How does it react with lower rev player's ??
From the sound of it that ball might be a little too aggressive for me with where I’m at. Might get one eventually. It’s a pretty ball.
What weights are the balls you throw?
Love the look of the ball but then again I love the look of the Hero Solid from Brunswick. Man what a coincidence.
What weight bowling ball do y’all use ? How do you determine what weight ball should use ?

Is the axiom pearl asymmetrical?
Symmetric

You bowling in a courthouse?
I love my proton physix on a 1 step
Plus I didn’t know you guys are in the same state as me would to meet you all
So, I've got a question about the flare rings. Is it a good/bad thing that I have like 3 or 4 rings on my ball?
Not really good or bad, just an indication of how much the core is "wobbling" as it goes down the lane. The more rings the more the core is flaring and exposing fresh cover to the lane.
@@jeremiegrund I think that the more the core flares the more space there will be between rings. Number of rings is partly a function of rev rate and how much oil is on the lane.
I have been wanting you to review this ball.
Kyle..... if you had to choose between the proton physix or the black widow 2.0, which would you choose?
Proton, without a doubt!
just curious, why didnt you compare it to the axiom since they have the same cover? loved that vid btw :)
The Phaze 2 is a really early rolling ball, whereas the Axiom is a bit later and sharper because of the core, so it wouldn't have been as close of a comparison as the Phaze 2

Just got mine few days ago! This thing hooks! Is it me or did you polish the cover?
