I enjoy having Chris on the channel with you. It’s nice to have 2 different styles of bowlers and insights for stuff. Nice work boys! Favorite ball for me is the IQ as well. I just started bowling about a year ago but have tried a decent bit of stuff. Absolutely in love with my IQ since I got it a couple months ago!
For me personally it’s the phaze ll. The diversity of this bowling ball is remarkable. I can play right and up the boards on the fresh, and I can move 30-40 boards left once the lanes break down and it still makes the corner. I can always go to this ball whenever I can’t find good ball motion in a tournament.
IQ tour solid for me. It is amazing the size of the window I have with this ball. I tend to miss right and solids don't typically make it back...accept the IQ tour solid. It holds reasonably well on misses in. Furthermore, it is versatile, can throw straight or move 20 boards and still find the shape I am looking for.
Had the reality last year and loved it, got the infinite physix and it’s by far my favorite ball ever. Love how I can’t move left and create shape with it but how I also can up the speed and play firm with it as well. Also have an IQ tour solid and UFO alert to round out the 4 bag arsenal.
HyRoad Pearl. That ball has done practically everything for me. I am your typical league bowler so nothing fancy but that ball lead me to a 200 average season multiple 600 and 650 sets and the only 700 set on my record 700 on the nose a few weeks after my grandmother passed away. For me the HyRoad Pearl is just that go to ball easy to control very predictable and I just never leave for bowling without it.
Mine personally is the Axiom Pearl! Multiple 300’s and 2 800’s series. Had almost back to back weeks where I shot 800 with that ball. Really smooth and would love to get my hands on a NIB one!
My favorite = Storm SuperPowerPearl❣️ I've got a couple 300s, an 816, and many big games and mid ro upper 700 series... The ball just always felt good and when I start again, the 2001 ball will be in my bag!
I love the hyped solid. No 300 yet, but I've got a 297 with it. looks similar to the !Q tour; play a little straighter, miss right and it doesn't overhook. Miss left and it holds its line well. I got another hyped solid drilled and shot 743 out of the box
Mine is the wolverine dark moss. My fitter recommended this one to me to diversify my mostly asymmetric arsenal. It has so much backend action and is decently strong for a symmetric ball. I've had my best scratch game and scratch series with it. 265 and 699 respectively. If it starts to lose its reaction as the months go by, I may get a second one.
Hey Louis.. It's Jason, your favorite Floridiot here... So I gotta say, !Q Tour.. whatta pick.. It's a great ball for beginners, and for the more experienced.. I love it, not just for league and tourneys, but for when I get my lessons, because it's so benchmark.. I can always see whether I need to ball-up or down after I throw it.. but most of the time I just stick with it until the lane burns up.. Plus the fragrance is GREAT..!! Thanks again for a great vid.. hopefully you may have opened the eyes of a few Phaze 2 ballers to recognize that this ball is a great addition to the Phaze 2, and necessarily a threat.. Keep making them great vids.. Happy Holidays, Sincerely, Jason
My favorite ball is the og PhysiX. I was very sad when I found one of my two was cracked during this winter. Still got my other one but going to take a little bit more care of it so it doesn't crack. Weird thing is it's only my favorite because it is a great benchmark read for me, and I haven't really had high scores with it, I just love the way it rolls. My Trend 2 has my first 600, and 700 series so that's be my score favorite ball
iQ Fusion! I got my first 600 with it and almost got to 700 if I'd had better carry the 2nd game. Then I got a 700 with an IQTS a few years later. This year, my high series is 672 with an IQNP. Hard to pick between the three, but the Fusion was my first serious ball and it elevated my game by itself. I have slower speed and throw 14lb, and the iQ RG is 2.54 at 14, so I think everything combined with that later roll makes that core match up to me really well.
My Favorite balls of all time and why: 1. Pitch Black - Most strikes in a row and highest game and it just does nothing wrong ever. 100% trustworthy ball on any condition. 2. Purple Hammer - It just strikes and strikes. I am currently holding my highest avg with a ball ever with the Purple. 3. 1987 Brunswick Grey Rhino. This ball hits like a tank and when the lanes are too dry for the Pitch Black and Purple hammer there is no better "down and in at them" ball than the Grey Rhino.
Absolutely love the content man, My main question for you is Do Asymmetrical balls need drilled based on axis angles or any different variables or can they be drilled the same basic way you would a symmetrical ball? Thanks!
Favorite ball for me is the Marvel-S. No matter the lane condition, that ball will always give me a motion that tells how the lanes will be performing. It was always the first ball out of my bag. I also have my highest series ever (814) with that ball. High game with it is 290. A close second is the Hammer Arson Pearl. I have (2) 299 with that ball and (2) 800 series with it.
@@Kawboy65 It was released right when COVID hit, and I feel Storm didn't give it a fair shake. I'm glad I was able to find one used and the way it was drilled complemented my PAP and style so I didn't have to plug/re-drill it.
I want to upgrade, I have a show off 15lb. Any suggestions, I don't have a ton of curve and start on the right sight and curve it into the pocket. Thanks I have been bowling for about 3 years now
Hey Louis, I do have to ask you.. Have you ever had the chance to drill and throw the !Q Nano Solid Blue (Overseas Edition).. if so, how do you feel it compares to !Q Tour Solid.. Ok, thanks again. Later, Jason
The IQS was no where near my radar when I started bowling. I bought so many new and colorful balls. I ended up getting the IQTS during the TAT in September, and it has become my ultimate bail out ball during tournaments. When nothing else works, I'll take this out of the bag to stay afloat during tough blocks. Like Luke Rosdahl says, it's great at getting 9, but I'll take 9 when other balls are leaving splits.
Are we really doing this Lou? I mean, I'll be able to show you better than I can tell you soon. 😂😂😂 First it was the Agent/Marvel series, and now it's the Phaze. And now we're up to level 5 in the US? Biggest achievement(s) are: 1. Walking out with $140 in 2 games after 1 warmup game on the LA pattern using a Phaze/Phaze Grip tandem. 2. Walking out with $300 in one night of action a couple weeks later in the same center using a No Rules/Phaze 2/Phaze Grip trio. The hybrid (Phaze Grip) alone probably made me $1K between breaking even and kicking ass every week bowling action. Gotta LOVE finding a niche reaction that I'm able to fall back on. #itsnotaphaze #masterlineistheshiznit
What's up Luis? Question, I want to order a Storm Coolwick jersey and I want to add me and my father's name on the back. My father passed away a little over a year ago and I want to honor him by adding his name to the jersey. We have the same name. He's Sr. I'm the 3rd. I went to the website and didn't see where I can do it
@@LuisNapoles I was confused also, but I see the Green You mentioned, Just that when You search Hy-Road Pearl the Colors don't look the same on Storms Website or on Google, does the New Pearl look like Hybrid Color now ? Only real thing I noticed You mentioned was the Green Lettering,I was gonna get a Hy-Road Pearl but I swore the one Everyone kept showcasing on Their Videos looked like the Hybrid
I quit buying Storm. I liked their stuff, but got tired of having to buy a new ball or two or three....every year because they cracked. Of all the Storm stuff I ever owned, I only had ONE that did not crack. That was the Crossroad. I'm not talking of stuff that sat in a garage or room in the house. Stuff that was in my bag. I had and IQ Tour and an Anarchy that were always in my bag. The Anarchy came back up the ball return cracked and the IQ Tour was cracked inside the bag on Wednesday when I had just thrown it on Monday. I find your vids entertaining, but not buying Storm stuff anymore.
@@LuisNapoles actually I find it strange you have not. I know a lot of people that have had them crack. Really weird. Makes me wonder what the cause is. I live in AZ, so our weather is similar to yours. Hmmm
Does it bother you that the viewers' knowledge of you being a paid shill for Storm takes away your credibility? It wasn't too long ago that your highest praise was reserved for the Motiv Jackal Ghost. It's hard to take you too seriously. Why not be a little more up front about the ball company you represent and state clearly that your reviews are limited to their products?
I have never said I wasn't on staff with 900 Global also a "Paid Shill" come on really? I call them like I see them. The ghost was and is a good ball period not denying that. Also I do this UA-cam channel for me not for the brands that sponsor me LOL
Personally, the RotoGrip Cell is my #1. Shot 797 (279-239-279). Missed 800 on a blowout 10 pin--I'm left handed. Currently, it's the Hammer Web. Thanks for the vids and info. Keep it up!

Phaze 2 is tied for my #2 with the Zen. When we get surprised with more volume or flatter lanes than expected, phaze 2 is my go to.
That would have been a close second!

So many people are loving that Infinite!
Just started bowling this year but my favorite bowling ball soo far is the Night Road. Bowled my highest game in league 266 n highest series 677.
Those are amazing scores! Thats def a good one also!
Great video as always.
Thanks so much!
Please do more bowling videos with Chris. You are both amazing!
Will do! Thanks!

Wow. I need to give my IQ tour another try. I'm going to fill and redrill it this week.
I hope you love it as I have!

Either that or resurface it. Bringing it back to the oob finish might help it
Pearl symmetricals, with them having weaker cover stocks compared to asymmetrical covers, tend to have more backend due to the weaker cover
Def maintain the surface prep on it!
Great video. I would love to hear the opposite. What balls do you hate the most, or don't pair up with you at all
I have mentioned that plenty of times LOL the Dark Core is prob my least favorite ball ever!
My favorite ball is the iq emerald. It just felt good off hand and I knew how it was going to end up at backend if I released right
I have an undrilled one that im considering drilling!
Black widow dark legend. That's the ball that got me into serious bowling and I have my personal best 279 on 3 seperate occasions with it
Nice! Yea I remember how popular that ball was!
Hey Louis..

There's a reason those are your favorites. You just relax and let them go. Chris, you definitely should drill up a new Hy-road Pearl!
Yes I probably should!
100% he should!

Would love to know how you compare the iq tour solid to the phaze 2
oh now thats a video worth making!
Absolutely love the content man, My main question for you is Do Asymmetrical balls need drilled based on axis angles or any different variables or can they be drilled the same basic way you would a symmetrical ball? Thanks!
So both of them need to be drilled based on YOUR positive axis point!
Actually my favorite ball is the Idol Cosmos. I love that ball so much
Out the box that ball is a beast!
I thought the phaze 2 was the goat for you 😮 and I will help to get Chirs a hy road pearl where do I send the funds to
You can use the super thanks button on the video or send me a message on Facebook! Thanks for that!

Storm axiom solid is my favorite 2 300s 2 800s with it
They should not have discontinued that ball so soon.

I want to upgrade, I have a show off 15lb. Any suggestions, I don't have a ton of curve and start on the right sight and curve it into the pocket. Thanks
I have been bowling for about 3 years now
Look into the Phaze 2
@Luis Napoles would that be better
Then the gem or the proton physics
Thanks
Hey Luis! When you get the Absolutely, can we see it compared to the Dark Code pleeeease 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I would need to get a new dark code haha I have hated that ball so much that I got rid of all of them
@@LuisNapoles Understood, no worries
IQ Tour Emerald is my favorite ball. 2nd favorite is Motiv Rogue Assassin. 3rd favorite is Columbia 300 Tyrant.
I have a blank one!
Mine will always be the original gamebreaker. So versatile.
That was a REALLY good one also!
Hey Louis, I do have to ask you..
Have you ever had the chance to drill and throw the !Q Nano Solid Blue (Overseas Edition).. if so, how do you feel it compares to !Q Tour Solid..
Ok, thanks again.
Later,

I shot my first 300 with the Phaze II so that was my goat until last week when I threw my 2nd 300 and first 800 with the intense fire
Good stuff! I never had that one but I did have the Intense and loved that one
@@LuisNapoles nice! I just got the Zen for Christmas and I bowled 9 games this week for a 232 average. Zen ball good!
Cool tech bowling luis
Thanks!
@@LuisNapoles your welcome
The Night Road or Crux Prime are my faves.
Nice!
Phaze 2 because it's my benchmark ball and offers control
So much control!
Roto grip Wrecker Is my all time favorite. Not even close.
That was def a good one
I can barely seem to keep my hyroad pearl on the lane it’s so snappy in the back end
yea its hella angular!
My favorite ball is the Hammer Redemption Pearl
I heard good things!
