Last week I bowled in league with the Absolute. First time I didn't have to do a ball change to a weaker ball. Stayed with the Absolute the whole night. Definitely love the pop it has down lane. Thanks for the comparison!
I have the Absolute, I love this ball, I haven't touched the surface, my two buddies have one also and they each have changed the surface. Both of them have good scores also but we can't seem to use it for a 3 game set.
I bowled with the Eternity last night at league and used it from beginning to end and averaged 212 with it out of the box. It was very smooth and hit like a truck all night. Nothing snappy at all and no splits dare I say all night long…Thanks for your videos and comparisons on this ball.
The further left you moved the better the Absolute looked! Great Comparison 👍 that just convinced me I was looking at both balls.... The Absolute will absolutely be going in my bag!
Absolute has been great. It's become the ball I use for league. Was thinking about buying the eternity but after watching this review they look too similar it would be pointless to have both in my arsenal. Thanks! Love the reviews Luis 🤙
I have the absolute and it is my first ball out of bag on house. Then revenant then hyroad pearl. This summer the eternity is one of two balls in our two ball league along with the fate. I am getting more comfortable with the absolute for now. Really enjoy your videos
Luis Keep making awesome vidyours I learned a lot today I know which bowling ball Because the video you made today thank you so much I really appreciate it
I love the shape of my Absolute. Great ball. I think my game matches up to the strong core/weak cover type balls. However, I think mine has that slimy feel to it on the cover that Luke Rosdahl was talking about on a couple of the newer balls that came out recently.
Eternity, Exotic Gem, Absolute.. OOB shiny asyms, IMHO same spot in the bag. Pick the one you emotional like most and fill the bag with other ball options. ... summarized but again a great video from you Luis. Thanks for the content again and again :)
I love the absolute! I went with a 65 X 5.5 X 65 with my layout, which put my pin in my middle finger, giving the ball a smoother motion but wow does it want to bit off the friction
Shot 707 tonight. Gone up each week starting 3 weeks ago(1st set since 12/22/2016)... Threw 4 frames with my Virtual Gravity. Had some intense wrist pain, switched to the IQ TourSolid and just "suitcased" it to 707...
Looks like the Eternity has better energy into the pocket (when you throw it good). Would be curious how they would look with a surface change. Great video as usual!
Would the eternity be your top choice for first ball on the fresh for league? If I wanted a two ball arsenal for league what would be a good second ball? Zen?
I have both, the eternity is my go-to ball, I dont bowl league but I want to join one. The absolute does me right depending on the oil. But I bowl 2 handed, so the eternity does me justice getting it down lane
May I ask quesfion ? I have seen other guys do videos saying you can use the same bowling ball on both the FRESH & the Burn. How is this possible? Obviously I do not know as much as you do so that's why I'm asking. A bowl like the Proton Physix and the Suoer Nova. I thought these bowls were designed to be used only on Abeavy oil. Please explain...Thank You
You can drive a screw with a hammer and pound a nail with a screwdriver but using the right tool for the job always makes more sense and takes less effort. Takes a lot more skill and effort to throw consistent strikes with ball designed for heavy oil on dry lanes but it can be done.
After the initial 10-pin, you moved left. Why does the move left work better than moving right to come in a little sharper and go through the pins? I have the Absolute also, and when I move left after a few solid 10 pins, I start getting weak 10 pins. The move right for me leaves almost no 10 pins, but it brings splits into play if I cut the shot short. Love your channel.
Hey Luis, just got an absolute and I’m struggling with it reading the lane. I can’t get it to hook nearly as much as I’ve seen others and when I do, it’s late and not substantial. What do you suggest that I change the surface to? And how fast do you throw?
Kris I too was having the same problem. I scuff the surface lightly with 2000 and it is my main ball for league now. I re-scuff after the League and keeps it top shelf. Very happy.
I have the Gem and the exotic gem I want a new ball I love the original gem what do you recommend for me brother so I can add another ball to my arsenal
Napoles, gracias por el video, creo que se ven iguales… leves diferencias, necesitas compararlas en 44 pies creo… y necesitas afinar tu saque ya que en ambos casos es algo flojo y patinas mucho la bola, pareciera que lo fuerte de ambas bolas y lo fácil del aceitado casero te ayudan a que tu bola se recupere, aún así gracias por el video!
Luis is there a way to get a comparison video of the eternity vs exotic gem and get ur thoughts to whether or not they are to close for a 6 ball arsenal
Luis, can you please explain your reasoning for moving LEFT off a ring ten? I would think you’d want to get deeper into the pocket and use more of the head pin, which you do on the subsequent shots, but my brain thinks to do that you’d have to move RIGHT. I’m curious to know what you think.
The next to last shot with the absolute was the best ball you threw the whole video. The ball roll was forward and you saw how strong (good) it reads off the end of the pattern.
Been thinking about getting one of these balls but a little scared of both of them since I am older and so I throw a much slower ball with a bit less revolution so worried that keeping these on the lane may not be possible
I have the Brunswick version of these balls, and I love them to death. They do exactly what I need them to, when I need them to. The Absolute is the DV8 Collision Hybrid, and the Eternity is the DV8 Intimidator Pearl
@@LuisNapoles No, not the Brutal Collision :/ The Og one, the pink silver and black collision. The Hype got that one wrong too. The brutal reminds me of the Gem
I have the infinite Physix ball and looking for another addition. Do you recommend the absolute or eternity?i heard the absolute isn’t much different than the infinite but want your opinion. Wouldn’t want to get another ball and it’s similar. Thanks 🤙🏼
It looked to me like the Eternity had a lot of miss room on the fresh. That's when you need miss room, when you're just warming up and getting into the flow of the league. It also appeared that the Eternity was able to turn the corner on the burn from farther left than I can remember ever seeing you throw the ball, albeit with a reduction of speed. But slower speed is just part of moving left. The Absolute is a great ball as well, but I think the scores will be higher with the Eternity. I did not expect that, because I thought S84 would be too strong a cover. I still think a slightly weaker cover (and 900 Global has a great selection of covers) would improve this ball for most bowlers.
I demo both balls and the absolute was better for me plus I was looking for a hybrid ball for my bag love the backend pin action it the eternity was not bad either great balls to demo
My absolute doesn’t move at all on fresh house shot. My absolute is the only ball that can’t hook. On non fresh, it works fine. I have to shape the Absolute, I can’t stay behind the ball and let the ball do the work.
So which ball and why? I’m liking the purple one 🎳 well darn they both looked similar…the E just locked a lil better to me…and looking at Luke’s vid of it as well with yours…I’m leaning E and I love purple ♎️
I wouldn't call the Absolute angular, but then again Chris Barnes says he's got one round one and one angular one. Storm balls are like a box of chocolates......
I got my Absolute a few weeks ago. Can't stand it. I've tried several surface changes and it is a lemon. Very disappointed in that ball. I have a Reality Check and love it. Not sure if the Eternity would overlap the check too much.
@@LuisNapoles I found it did not hook down lane at all. I'm thinking it is because its winter here in Canada. The lanes are generally tighter down lane. I'll try it again in the spring when there is more backends.
Imagine that your trying to post shots!!!! Like I said your timing is late and causes you to step off shots. Players feel like they get more shit on the ball when their timing is late but when the get off pie house shot it doesn’t work so well. This ends the free lesson. Now drill a Radical Hitter
Kinda a poor choice of wording for the title… neither of these balls are “angular” even tho they’re pearls/hybrids, they’re still super smooth and make gradual shapes. Are they more “angular” than say gems or reality’s or protons sure. But they are by no means “angular”
@@LuisNapoles I’d call them cleaner but they’re not “angular” they’re slightly cleaner than say a gem or reality. But they’re still both very early, very smooth very gradual motion bowling balls. Saying that they’re angular gives the impression that they’re going to come off the back of the pattern and just jam left and boom off it and that’s just not what they do. They both shape in their own way but they’re very gradual and smooth when they do it
@@LuisNapoles I get what you’re saying by saying for asymmetrical balls they’re the most “angular” but saying it like that can just kinda give the wrong impression when someone buys one and it’s not as “angular” as they heard is all I’m getting at

Thanks! You too!
I got my Eternity coming Friday! Can't wait to throw it. Do prefer the reacta gloss or are you going to change any surface on them (either)?
Absolute I changed the surface but so far I like the eternity a lot with the gloss
I haven't fallen in love with my absolute yet, some days I love it and others I throw it once or twice and back in the bag it goes....
I hear that haha
I have an Absolute which I love for it's pop down lane.
Huge pop down lane!

Damn if i didnt just get 2 new pearls id probably order an Absolute! Looks beast for a lefty.
It’s a hybrid though!
@@LuisNapoles what i mean is i just got 2 new shiny clean pieces.

Just got the absolute
How you like it?
