That was your best review to date! That does look very similar to xponent. Looks and strength. The belmo balls for me have been love it or hate it. I'm intrigued to see how it looks for Big Beef Stu.
Thanks Chris. Really spoiling us with all the comparisons. One question though; you’ve gone pin down on the Duo and now on the Journey, I’m interested to learn why ? Thanks
I found the REX coverstock to be really maintenance intensive on the Fate, I’m wondering/hoping that the pearlized TX-16 isn’t as needy! Thanks for the video!
Your reviews are so fine! I watched the quick Belmo vid, and he was splitting the 8-9 with this ball, which is distinctly not a 2-hander characteristic. Yes, he's going to love it; but it is very versatile, based on what you demonstrated, and I think it's going to be one of the best balls ever, considering the house shots we have nowadays.
I got this ball last week, got it drilled Monday. I ended up going with a pin-up drilling, but I was able to make some great shots on my local bowling alley’s house pattern!
@@BeefandBarnzy thanks! I gave myself a blister cause my local alley has $5 unlimited bowling on Mondays, but it was totally worth it. If y’all are ever in the area, check it out! Thanks for the awesome review!
Colors are very Similar to the Storm Byte from a decade ago. The faster you threw it & the deeper you went it got better & better! Reminds me of someone’s game to a T or shall I say B.
i wish there was a way to find coaches in Ky that are not 2 hours away. i also wish i know more about Arsenal building im trying to build a 4 ball Arsenal for normal league play. i have a plastic spare ball and Hy-Road pearl need 2 or 3 more good options off HRP. I also want to start a ball collection of names/colors that look nice.
You could always keep it simple if its just league. You have a late pearl in the hiroad to use on burn so get the phase 2 for a middle ball and try something strong for the higher teir ball like a reality. Or maybe try other brands as well. Motiv for example is really good for alot of league bowlers. Same with hammer.
If i already have the Xponent and the Gold Label, would the Journey be too close and too much overlap? AWESOME review! You compared it exactly to the balls i was hoping you would.
The Journey and XPonent aren't that similar where you couldn't have them both, but you would probably be too close between the gold label and Journey unless you go wacky with some layouts
What he means by that is, he makes a hand position change. He comes up the back of the ball alot more than around the side of it to cut down his angles. You can do this in stronger balls to keep your angles in front of you, so it doesn’t force you too far left immediately.
Rest in peace to our fellow bowlers that was killed yesterday.

Stu Review will be up tomorrow, you won't wanna miss it... Fireworks!!!
From what I've heard, the Fate, Pro Motion, Trend, and Trend 2 were absolutely incredible.
I loved timeless

Journey is a step stronger than Fate, should be a good compliment
I’m absolutely going to get the Xponent and the Journey
You know what Beef Stu, i think i might go with the Journey instead of the Gold Label.

Storm should do a PDW ball as well. Weber name is royalty in bowling.
That is true. Pete Weber was the poster boy for Storm before Jason Belmonte dominated the scene.
I do well in Lewisville on Friday nights with my Phaze II, So I think the Journey will be a great addition to the arsenal.
Would you and Stu do a stream with topic of ball layout... examples of what drilling use on which balls and why?
HELLO BARNZY, THIRD BALL REVIEW THIS MONTH !!!!
He's working hard.... FINALLY :D
Absolutely
I might get a journey instead of a gold label for tournaments though.
Something to put on my bucket list!
Great looking ball. Love this review. Would love to see it next to the Fate.

Great video Chris! I may need to replace my Duo with this one. Excellent review followed by comparison. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Reminds me of someone’s game to a T or shall I say B.
Can we see Ryan throw a couple shots for the 2 handers please!
Is it me or is Storm making all of these balls in the same color?
If I was only bringing symmetrical bowling balls for league I’d probably bring the Phaze II, Summit, Journey, Xponent and Hustle RIP.
What does firm mean?
Thank you for not using 2 hands
546 Beef and Barnzy total ... not bad
Chris what do you avg in league and whats your highest set ever
WOW, that Center definitely needs to learn how to adjust their rake assemblies.
I enjoyed watching this video alot
Love Chris

@@stompingpeak2043 thanks but im trying to stick to SPI cause i like the balls
Just got my Phaze 2 🙂
Ball seems to want some angle... looks better from a bit more inside.
👀🍿 thanks Superman
When is the Barnzy signature ball coming out? Way overdue...
When you say "it looks cleaner" ...what does that mean?
Skids more before it picks up into a roll
If i already have the Xponent and the Gold Label, would the Journey be too close and too much overlap?
AWESOME review! You compared it exactly to the balls i was hoping you would.

I would like to see these guys bowl with house balls
Thank you for making this video about bowling ball
We bowl on that crazy wetdry 20-1 HS’s 😢😂
When you do the ball review, please tell us which oil pattern you are doing the review on.
He mentioned house shot in the video.
Would you call this a Zen replacement? So far I haven’t found a ball to kick the zen out of the bag.
Shall I add a grit on this ball or shall I leave it with the reactive gloss? And if I do add grit much do I add
We both like the box finish on this one
Thank you
Would this ball be usable by a lower rev player with about 15mph? Seems like a good ball.
Depends on what else you have. Definitely could be!
What ball do you currently suggest for a high school bowler??
Depends on style and skill level. Phaze2 is a nice starting point for most good players. If just starting, consider a hustle
@@BeefandBarnzy thank you she bought a roto grip magic gem seems like a lot of ball for her
Chris just a question what do mean by taking the hand out of it
Less rev rate
Thx u thought that was it

Dork show. Him and that wife should fade into obscurity.
Question: would this new coverstock be stronger or weaker than like the R2X cover?
Stronger for me
247 bouncing all over the lane. 🤦 I got some work to do
:D. Hes pretty good!
Thing looks tumbly af
Bowling involves a thumb..
Not anymore 💪
It used to...and hamburgers used to involve meat. Welcome to "progress"🤣🤣👍
Man.. everyone is promoting belmos balls... Lmao.
ㅇㅅㅇ
Don't listen to Barnes the cheater.
???
How would U compare this ball to Belmo PROMOTION?
