    I’ve shot the best scores of my life with this ball, I own 15 bowling balls and it’s the only ball I use all 3 games of 3 different house leagues now. I was averaging around 208 before getting this ball and since getting the ion pro I’ve not had a night under 230 average. My ball speed is about 19.5 off my hand with 5-550 revs. This ball is all about control and the shape is so predictable and smooth I would have to recommend it to anyone with higher speed and revs looking for something more controllable.

    On the mark review of Ion pro. I'm a low rev, low speed bowler. On a 42 foot house pattern, the Ion Pro gave me more carry and higher scores.

    I just bowl senior league and use the discontinued Xponent (2.49/.042) for my benchmark ball. It's my favorite ball so I can't see replacing it anytime soon. I presume the Ion Pro would be fairly similar in strength and shape.

    • @captainbugsofficial

      As someone who has had both, it’s earlier than the Xponent. It also doesn’t lane shine as fast.

    So many of Brad's shots were high. My experience with the the Ion Pro has been similar so far. I think I'm going to adjust the surface to 3K and just expect that it won't be in play until game 3. Brad, how would you adjust to the Ion Pro going high? Would you try to get up the back of the ball more with less axis rotation?

    What’s the ratio of that house shot? I’m currently living in Austria and our house shot is 43’ 4:1 and I forget the mils. I’m a lefty and I can’t seem to get there damn 7 pin out with the ion. I also tend to not be disciplined on staying up the back of the ball. I kinda get around it and it’s always a tad late. Those pocket shots that look flush but don’t get the corner out. I try to adjust and I either split or leave an 8 or 9. Hyper frustrating.

    • @notonyourlife7939
      @notonyourlife7939 6 місяців тому +3

      A 4:1 ratio is on the difficult end of the "challenge pattern" range. Hell, it's getting close to the 2-3:1 ratios typical of PBA patterns. Whatever label you give it, 4:1 certainly isn't a house shot by almost anybody's definition. Most house shots are 10:1, or higher. You're bowling on tougher conditions than most... with smaller margins of error for any adjustment you make. I'd be looking at bigger balls, stronger layouts, and smoother, controllable shapes.
