Tour Dynam-X. Bowled my first 600 series with that ball. Also the Sublime sneaking in at the end of the year. Bowled a 212 with the first game. Looking forward to getting acclimated with that ball. Also my first 900 Global ball.
Favorites that came out this year & I added to the arsenal are the Storm DNA & Brunswick Teal Rhino Pro. One more favorite that I've gotten to throw, but don't have yet is the 900 Global Zen Gold Label. But the most success this year came with the Storm Nova I got just a month before 2023. (Thanks again JR Pro Shop!)
Hands down for me was the Tour Dynam-X. I threw 741 out of the box in an out of town bowling center I don't typically bowl. Then went to my home house and shot 821 with my first 300!!!!!!
I have been debating over the journey or the sublime. My exotic has been working well for my one two punch and averaging 222 in one league and 209 in the other. Leaning towards the journey though!
Track is underrated in general!!! Just picking bowling up seriously and I'm hooked. First year doing league and the Track Tundra Fire was my first ball since I was 12... since then I've got the phaze 2, og zen, tnt infused, purple hammer, nu blue, red hammer, Track Legion, money badger tour, and a reality 😂😂😂 best game so far 279 with the NU not with the box finish, hated the reaction with the box finish. Put 2000 on it and a little shine and it fit me much better. Another 2023 release that I threw well is the TNT infused, first night throwing it had the front 9 but went right threw the nose and left the 6,7,10 in the 10th for a 265 😂
I only got two balls from this year. Storm Absolute, super clean and really flippy on heavy oil. The best ball is the IQ Ruby, really clean, sharp down lane for a mid price ball. The best thing is versatility, I could play anywhere on the lane, plus it helps me to read the lane, first ball out of my bag.
First time I see them down to Lanes 1/2. Good stuff still. Just going to throw it out, Simoo been hitting them gym weights lol. For me, the SWAG shield been amazing along with the Magic Gem.
Didn't get any 2023 releases this year, but did get a Tropical Surge and my 2nd Zen new. So I guess the for me my top ball of the year was the Zen, though the Night Road was great this year for me as well, another older release I used throughout the year. I am getting a Magic Gem soon though. But no shots thrown with it in 2023.
My favourite ball this year is easily the Ebonite Envision Pearl. When that ball came out, I knew it'd be something special for me. I've put up a few honour scores with it, made a bit of money, and even got my average up to 220.
Man idk if this counts because they weren’t released in 2023 but my favorites to throw during this year was the original dv8 turmoil pearl, and the retired wicked siege both of which I got from a good friend
Eternity Pi for me. The Gem and Reality were way too early for the shot I play and the Eternity was not only more usable, but had a good amount of pop that was missing from the really strong asym solids
The Motiv Nuclear Forge and the Storm DNA were great additions to my bag this year. looking to find a good sym solid and pearl asym within the coming months!
My favorite balls of 2023 has to be the Envy Tour, and the Black widow 2.0 hybrid. Honorable mention would be the radioactive vibe and the hazmat. Great year of bowling balls for sure.
Motiv Black Venom. This ball is so good, I have a stash for the future. Also, have the RG Tour Dynam-X which has turned out to be a not so stellar ball, at least on a house shot. Will be trying it on sport this coming summer......hopefully it will be a performer.
My two favorite balls are IQ rube bowling ball and the Not Urethane Hammer. Love the bad ass blue, but it doesn't like wood lanes nothing likes wood but plastic.😒
I just came back to bowling after almost 20 years. I went to my local alley about 3 weeks before the season started and decided i'd join a league. So i purchased all new equipment. Black Widow 2.0, which the original had just released when I hung up my bowling shoe's but I always wanted one. I also picked up a Brunswick Twist, its easy to throw straight, and its pretty good when it gets dry. I also picked up a Hammer Radio Active Vibe, and Envy Tour both 2023 release, and yeah I like both of them, two completely different balls that play well for me! My average keeps improving, and I am looking forward to some tournament play this summer!!
Happy New Year JR Pro Shop Gang! My favorite ball for 2023 is the Hammer Envy Tour Pearl. Awesome ball! So versatile. More Barks please! Us lefties need our fix!
Happy New Year JR Pro Shop! Great video to wrap up 2023! I like the versatility of your videos with all the different styles and brands. This past year, I decided to rebuild my entire bag. I had been using Track, Hammer and Ebonite for the last 41 years, so I decided to try SPI products. I think I will add a Motiv Black Venom and BW 2.0 Hybrid to round out the arsenal. I only discovered you guys in May 2023. I look forward to seeing what's to come. Thanks so much guys!
The hammer dark web hybrid is my mvb right now. Got my 300 with it and it's my safety blanket. Threw my 800 with the hammer nu 2 days after buying it. The dv8 verge solid Creamsicle has also been amazing at dealing with the cliff.
The Summit and Absolute have been my go-to 1-2 punch. Had a lot of success with that combo. Still got room for two more in my arsenal but can't make up my mind.
I bowl on lane conditions similar to what you guys just bowled on. Bone dry on the right tons of oil in the middle with carry down. If you play down and in you will die out there and if you move in you get terrible carry. The only guys that can bowl on it are high rev rate or high speed bowlers. Tough to deal with.
Comment: What were your favourite balls of 2023?
Tour Dynam-X. Bowled my first 600 series with that ball. Also the Sublime sneaking in at the end of the year. Bowled a 212 with the first game. Looking forward to getting acclimated with that ball. Also my first 900 Global ball.
Tour Dynamx 100%. Great benchmark ball.
Favorites that came out this year & I added to the arsenal are the Storm DNA & Brunswick Teal Rhino Pro. One more favorite that I've gotten to throw, but don't have yet is the 900 Global Zen Gold Label. But the most success this year came with the Storm Nova I got just a month before 2023. (Thanks again JR Pro Shop!)
VEBO
My favorite ball for 2023 is the Roto Grip Hustle RIP when you are on dryer condition that ball is amazing
Xponent, Zen Gold Label, Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid
Hands down for me was the Tour Dynam-X. I threw 741 out of the box in an out of town bowling center I don't typically bowl. Then went to my home house and shot 821 with my first 300!!!!!!
I’d say I agree and then I got the journey, but the one two punch between them is insane. I averaged 266 with the two of those over a nine game block
I have been debating over the journey or the sublime. My exotic has been working well for my one two punch and averaging 222 in one league and 209 in the other. Leaning towards the journey though!
A very underrated and overlooked ball, the Track Sensor Solid is insanely good
Yes it is!!
Track is underrated in general!!!

Not a Motiv guy, but the Black Venom and Primal Shock are phenomenal.
Black venom will become a GOAT
I took a real hard look at the Black Venom , and the blue coral
@@johndor1904 the Blue Coral is a good ball. There is a reason why it's one of EJ Tackett's favorites.
@@stellaraudioaz I'll probably end up getting one to add to my light/dry ball bag
Katana Assault & DV8 Captiv8 definitely a bottom end ball that’s overlooked by many!
First time I see them down to Lanes 1/2. Good stuff still. Just going to throw it out, Simoo been hitting them gym weights lol. For me, the SWAG shield been amazing along with the Magic Gem.
Two Balls i purchased this Year, Storm Absolute, and then later in the year i picked up a Storm Summit. I have been absolutely LOVING the Summit.
The favorite ball I picked up this year was the Track Stealth. I have thrown some of my best scores with that ball since I got it.
Didn't get any 2023 releases this year, but did get a Tropical Surge and my 2nd Zen new. So I guess the for me my top ball of the year was the Zen, though the Night Road was great this year for me as well, another older release I used throughout the year. I am getting a Magic Gem soon though. But no shots thrown with it in 2023.
My Favorite Ball of 2023 was the DV8 Captiv8... My House is utter garbage and the Captiv8 has been a perfect match for it
My favourite ball this year is easily the Ebonite Envision Pearl. When that ball came out, I knew it'd be something special for me. I've put up a few honour scores with it, made a bit of money, and even got my average up to 220.
My favorite from this year was the purple hammer purple pin by far the best ball I have ever thrown I’ve had really high games with it
My favorites of 2023 are Outer Limits, Envy Tour Solid and Katana Strike. Too many good ones from last year!
Eternity Pi replaced my Black Widow 2.0 as my favorite ball. The Revanant is my other.
I have the black venom and I absolutely love it. So much power from anywhere I deliver from
My top two bowling balls from the year are the Storm Absolute and the Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid
Virtual Energy Blackout, and the DNA Fit my game really well this year!!
Why no one said the Widow2.0Hy is crazy but that my pick and then it's long awaited counter part the Hazmat
Best ball ever! Motiv's Rip Cord Velocity. Of course, it has been retired... [sad face]
40 year old cover-stock makes top ball of the year. Black U dot next up? Cmon new innovations should be up there.
Man idk if this counts because they weren’t released in 2023 but my favorites to throw during this year was the original dv8 turmoil pearl, and the retired wicked siege both of which I got from a good friend
Outer Limits, Ghost Lock, and Shadow Lock.
Simoo the first person to say they like the Atlas all that much. Very random choice. I have that one and the DNA and prefer the DNA.
Eternity Pi for me. The Gem and Reality were way too early for the shot I play and the Eternity was not only more usable, but had a good amount of pop that was missing from the really strong asym solids
Something about the movement in the blue hammer just irks me. Looks like it hooks twice and not at any point I’ve come to expect.
For me it was the IQ Ruby. Fit my style
Black widow 2.0 hybrid , eternity pi
Storm Summit and Journey
The Motiv Nuclear Forge and the Storm DNA were great additions to my bag this year. looking to find a good sym solid and pearl asym within the coming months!
Hear me out… Raptor Fury. Ive thrown it only once and am already loving the purchase. The ball just find the pocket.
The summit has been a staple in my bag!
2.0 Hybrid by far. Ball is way too good.
columbia 300 highspeed
Cool video talk tech bowling bowling ball
Looks y’all are throwing on a 2 week old house shot.
My two favorite balls of 2023 are the Brunswick Mindset and the Storm Virtual Energy blackout.
My favorite balls of 2023 has to be the Envy Tour, and the Black widow 2.0 hybrid. Honorable mention would be the radioactive vibe and the hazmat. Great year of bowling balls for sure.
Motiv Black Venom. This ball is so good, I have a stash for the future. Also, have the RG Tour Dynam-X which has turned out to be a not so stellar ball, at least on a house shot. Will be trying it on sport this coming summer......hopefully it will be a performer.
Radical Innovator Pearl
IQ Tour Ruby is my favorite ball. I agree it’s very controllable and hits hard through the backend.
Mindset and the outer limits
@Simoo
You changed Atlas' Surface, didn't you? Why in paticular and to which grit?
My favorite was the eternity
Your a lefty so who cares
My two favorite balls are IQ rube bowling ball and the Not Urethane Hammer. Love the bad ass blue, but it doesn't like wood lanes nothing likes wood but plastic.😒

Zen Gold Label, Stealth Pearl and Hustle RIP!
A week into owning, im loving the Eternity Pi and Vebo as well

For me it was the Roto Grip Duo and the Virtual Energy Blackout. I shot my highest game in league ever with the Duo, a 298.
The Summit and Absolute have been my go-to 1-2 punch. Had a lot of success with that combo.
Still got room for two more in my arsenal but can't make up my mind.
Simoo you're awesome
Great vid guys! Nice hair, Sean. Lol
Happy New Year!!!
Black venom/ tour dynamix/ yellow tank. That’s my list!
Love my IQ Tour RUBY and TOUR DYNAM-X.
Track Theorem, Radical Outee Limits, and Track Pearl is my fav.
Gotta love the “birthday party” pattern y’all bowled on….ball hooked at the arrows for righty’s…and puked down lane
Love the xponent from 900 global and the zig zag from radical
I bowl on lane conditions similar to what you guys just bowled on. Bone dry on the right tons of oil in the middle with carry down. If you play down and in you will die out there and if you move in you get terrible carry. The only guys that can bowl on it are high rev rate or high speed bowlers. Tough to deal with.
My favorite ball was the Ebonite GB4 hybrid, it was the ball that got my high game above 200, and shot my highest series in league
Brunswick Quantum Evo Response!🥳
I know it didn't come out this year but the zen is always good! The hustle usa is also a killer at high friction houses.
Fate, Revenant, Tour Dynamix, Eternity Pi, Journey
Getting a blue hammer drilled right now, probably get my first motiv being the black venom after that
Fireball
As far as new balls, I really like my Eternity Pi. It is great ball to use once the Reality starts to puke.
Not sure about the best ball of the year, but by far the best bowling quote of the year is, “when you hit a pin you expect it to fall over!”
My favorites was the envy releases and the radioactive vibe. I am using the extreme, envy tour and envy tour pearl to this very day.
im also rockin the Radioactive and envy tour!!
I liked the summit. It’s super controllable
It has to be the Journey, because I bought it. It’s also the best car freshener I’ve ever had.
Magic Gem and Zen Gold Label!!!
Unpopular opinion but the duo is my favorite release of this year
Storm Summit hands down my fav ball of the year
been loving the Tour Dynam-x ever since it came out
Eternity Pearl, Eternity PI, and IQ Ruby
Black hammer coming the 18? No?
Track Kinetic Cobalt.
whats you layout on the ruby, thank you
urethane no...................
Happy New Years Guys🎉
Ruby
Envy Tour, Extreme Envy, Eternity, and the Xponent are my favorites of 2023.
What the h*** radical came out with some of the best balls this year. Come on, guys.
