I also noticed with my ball the venom shock Reactive resin solid my ball hooks so early and then when I have to play lefty righty and I get it to wide my ball just wants to be hook stopie! but when I but 2000 grit surface then throw it right on my friction then it wants to hook! and when my ball became hook stopie I play in the middle were their oil then it want to flair up and hook right and am playing on a regular house shot and modified house shot with low speed too!
It's a special type of tape that helps with the body nerves, lessens fatigue, and faster recovery in the used areas. A lot of other athletes use it on shoulders/ankles, etc...
It’s fairly irrelevant due to the number of variables that affect ball speed before it hits the sensor at the end of the lane. My off hand average speed is about 17.5
Lowkey, I'm trying to understand more about the mechanics behind bowling balls. But I have no idea anything your talking about lol. One day I'll be able to come back and it'll all make sense
@@steve4880 Good point, both the Gem and Reality are solid reactive balls. To me as a right hander bowler, I like both coverstocks because I like how they hook differently depending where you stand. Like the pearl for me I go more left as it hooks later as the solid it hooks sooner I go left. That's just for me personally.
At 3:28, the shot you threw was very aggressive. I have a very high Rev rate but with a house shot I need something that aggressive. What do you recommend?
What does color have to do with the physical performance of the ball? Is it the materials used that cause this because the reality is that there is no color just frequency of reflected light.🤣
Darren, I’m bowling the open tournament in Reno for the first time in. I’m thinking bout getting a new ball to take, would love if you could give me a suggestion
Me too! Bought this ball yesterday, threw it in league last night. Had the last 7 of 8 in game 1 and the front 5 in game 2. I'm a 170 League average so it was a big deal for me to shoot 650. I HAD been in a month-long slump previously. My house pattern is 45', so it seemed to work well.
D-TANG help a brother out. New heavier oil in my center house shot. I need a top of the bag ball for game 1-1.5. Reality, DNA or curveball Purple Hammer? Love the content! 🎳
@darrentang any chance of having a review on the storm IQ ruby soon? That’s the ball I’m looking at next but wanted you input and reaction to it before I commit. Keep up the awesome vids.
Gem, Reality, and even the Proton all mentioned in the comparison talk with the DNA, but no mention of the Super Nova.. It’s weird, I don’t see many Super Novas being thrown in any of the PBA tour vlog videos either. 🤔
@@DarrenTang I don’t recall seeing other guys throwing the Super Nova in recent PBA vlogs either (Mikey, Via, Brad, Kyle, etc). Maybe it’s just coincidence, or maybe the SN just isn’t as good as the Gem/Reality/DNA 🤷♂️
Agreed that these balls need to be tested as league bowlers would use them. Very few of us bowling league are inside of 20 (and NONE on the left side) so it makes a lot more sense to see these balls on more standard conditions. Also, "up 10 dumpers" should not be seen as a bad thing. I think the shot you threw "up 10" with some ball speed was the best shot you threw.
Up 10 dumpers are just how we refer to them here! Nothing wrong with it. While the shot to the right may have looked better, it took way more manipulating to play there for the given conditions. Bottom line, one should try to throw the right ball for the given circumstances at all times.
I grew up around a bowling ally in my youth . I have watched and talked to many great bowlers, none of them made it so complicated. They just had the talent or they didn't
Well balls since then have changed a lot and so has the sport... Having talent now isn't enough in bowling because there are too many factors for raw talent to shine through. Obviously you can overcomplicate anything but if you are at the line and internally calm and focused on the shot with maybe extra confidence from the overcomplicating then that's all that matters.
I am always empressed with how smooth your release is!
right...can't even hear the ball hit the lane.
I’m always impressed with how stupid people are…. Can’t even spell a word that is spelled exactly how it sounds. 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
those first four shots is my exact experience during league glad to hear about the necessary adjustments to combat those 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Already at 136k, that’s crazy. Congrats on the growth!🎉
Good Video, i'm liking the colors on the DNA. also Thanks for a sneak peak of Goaldcoast lanes, going to be bowling sweeps there mid May
just started bowling, love you’re content ❤
Thanks DT! Good luck out there!

Thanks for explaining for us guys who don’t get the terminology
I'm with ya D Tang. I have always been told pin down hooked earlier. Drilled a pin down ball and it went quite long. Hated it, and sold it.
I have an Exotic GEM. Would the DNA be stronger? If not, is there a ball stronger than the Exotic GEM?
Thanks for visiting us at the Gold Coast!!!!
Thanks Darren. Your comments like “if you have to go this in league you’re probably throwing the wrong ball” are very helpful to us amateurs.
What is that thing called that you're wearing on your arm?
1:39 what does it mean for the ball to “go too long”
Thank you for making this video
@John Yarbrough TROLL ACCOUNT detected. John Yarbrough is a known TROLL of many channels, and is mentally challenged.
I just bought a Nova the Exterity, do you think this ball work well with him?
Would you talk about the tape on your arm? I’ve been noticing more and more of those lately. Thanks
It's a special type of tape that helps with the body nerves, lessens fatigue, and faster recovery in the used areas. A lot of other athletes use it on shoulders/ankles, etc...
@darren Tang, when you do these videos, does your bowling alley show ball speed so we can know how fast it's going?
It’s fairly irrelevant due to the number of variables that affect ball speed before it hits the sensor at the end of the lane. My off hand average speed is about 17.5
@@DarrenTang thanks!
I always watch your videos from Japan. My question is, if you would recommend this ball layout, would it be pin up or pin down?
Wow DNA looking very good
Have you reviewed the Storm Night Road?
I think the DNA is different enough to have both the DNA and Reality in the same bag
Great review Darren 🎳
I have the Super Nova and I think it still has a lot of games left on it. Would the DNA be a good replacement?
Commenting to know more…
I wanted a Super Nova but I saw this ball was going to be released and it basically has the same specs
Lowkey, I'm trying to understand more about the mechanics behind bowling balls. But I have no idea anything your talking about lol. One day I'll be able to come back and it'll all make sense
How would this ball compare to the crux prime?
Issues is the lane is around 600 grit. So they ball is going to dull down
Does Gold Coast not have a pro shop?
DNA colors remind me more of the Axiom Pearl than a P2
You mentioned that the Storm DNA compared to the Roto Grip Gem and 900 Global Reality but compared to 900 Global Eternity?
Eternity is a completely different ball (Pearl, gloss) to the others mentioned high end asym's(solid, 2,000 grit).

are you still using interchange??
When is the next tournament
wait a sec.. how does thinner oil cause more skid? Is it because the ball doesn't lose speed as quickly? Just trying to learn more. Thanks.
Pretty much. Just think of it as water vs mud!
@@DarrenTang Thanks, Darren!
What are the layouts specifically based on your PAP?
How does the DNA compare to the SuperNova?
They basically have the same specs and I am in the market for a SuperNova
I keep seeing it as a stronger Phaze II in all the different reviews. Versatile and shapes similar, but more suited to the fresh than the P2.
Bowling is in your DNA!
Do you think this fits in the same bag as an Absolute?
At 3:28, the shot you threw was very aggressive. I have a very high Rev rate but with a house shot I need something that aggressive. What do you recommend?
soooooo what about the pba event??
I just got mine today
Why are alot of The New Balls the Same color Combos red and blue??
So is the gem stronger than the reality or just does it hook earlier?
Gem is the strongest piece we have imo
looks like the DNA is a ball im gonna need next
Is the DNA stronger then the Eternity?
Yes
I didn’t even know those existed to be honest I am yet to watch the video but should be interesting
What does color have to do with the physical performance of the ball? Is it the materials used that cause this because the reality is that there is no color just frequency of reflected light.🤣
I LOVE DARREN TANG BOWLING VIDEOS!! 🎳

Do the IQ Ruby review
On the way
Do a ball review on the Electrify GO
Good vid.
i saw this and the iq tour ruby, they smell nice as hell lol
it looks like the phaze 2 so it has to be good

It definitely gives me Proton vibes
Gem, Reality, and even the Proton all mentioned in the comparison talk with the DNA, but no mention of the Super Nova.. It’s weird, I don’t see many Super Novas being thrown in any of the PBA tour vlog videos either. 🤔
I didn’t throw the super nova much. I’ve thrown the other 3 a lot which makes them easier to compare to.
I have seen Arturo Quintero shoot big with the Nova. Other than him...not many.
@@DarrenTang I don’t recall seeing other guys throwing the Super Nova in recent PBA vlogs either (Mikey, Via, Brad, Kyle, etc). Maybe it’s just coincidence, or maybe the SN just isn’t as good as the Gem/Reality/DNA 🤷♂️
@@rekanoiter4480 I know Arturo won the Players Championship SW Region last year throwing the regular Nova, not the Super Nova.
Because it’s old and wasn’t a great ball many many storm balls that are much better than the Borva
DTANG WOOO
@darren - I bowled with your uncle Dennis last night on USBC Masters in the PBA Exp. League and he wants a Storm DNA. Can you "hook" your uncle up? 😄

Hello darren….. when are u going to be live on twitch?????
And did u do the 100 ball giveaway??
Tell storm to bring the gravity shift back and stop making all these new balls before we get a chance to actually enjoy the ones they just released
The ball was DCd because it wasn't selling. That's the only reason That a ball is DCd
