Greatly appreciate the honorable mention 🙏 For the record my highest LH set is 865 just edging out my good friend Robert Lawrence 856 He does however have a higher RH series 859 to my 844 giving him the higher aggregate ambidextrous 6 game total! Love the vids! Keep up the great work man! Regards, Bryan Alpert
I worked my way up from a Galaxie 300 to reactive. Great idea in general to start with a plastic ball with your off hand so you can get the fundamentals and some coordination down without having to fight a more dynamic reactive ball along the way. I like it!!
Back in the day we’d say to score well righties need footwork, balance, inside out swing, polish, a good read, & a decent rack of pins. Lefties need swing, hold, & carry. 🎳😁 Fun video.
Right on! I'm righty, but my friend and I taught ourselves to bowl lefty. We were good straight bowling, now I added a hook. I have three bowling balls for my right hand and 2 for my left.
This was immensely entertaining Mr. BrunsNick. Being a southpaw I never evn imagined the Radical Spy on house shot for leagues. Now after watching this I'm wondering if I might NEED one! Shhhhh don't let my wife hear this, okay? But it does certainly look like a viable option. Thanks Nick!
I’ve been looking for a ball that I can roll just like this one. Thanks for posting this. I am left handed, not that it matters. I just tired of standing all the way to the right and rolling it left. These massive hook balls drive me crazy. I have no consistency.
Nick this was impressive. I'm a lefty who's been bowling for 40+ years. Your backswing looks better than mine. Radical Spy is an underrated ball, polyester cover with Dynamicore and a strong asym core. I use it for spares and for extreme burn conditions.
Cool one Nick. I am a 1 handed lefty and I can roll 180 right hand with no practice and a 14lb house ball. In my opinion, the left side and the right side are the same, but each side has their own obstacles to overcome. I think with the huge holes, my hand just stays under the ball a lot longer.
I bowled a pro am in the 90s and one game was against Mike Aulby. Threw 250 something at him and thought I had him beat when he left a split in the 10th. Of course he picked it up and beat me!
Oh boy Nick’ I was righty for 35 years and an auto accident put me in the position if I wanted to bowl doctors said not right hand. So now 4 yrs lefty, avg 197 solid and I have oil lol
Hey nick, I’ve been really interested in bowling lately and was wondering if you knew any cheaper balls I could buy, that don’t give too much hook as I usually over spin, and I also wouldn’t know how to drill my own holes, any info helps!
For your next video, do a 3 game series with any of your two favorite balls i.e one must be urethane and one must be reactive, AND try to bowl a no tap 900. And you HAVE to use both balls.
Very, after a motorcycle accident I had to spend a year learning everything left handed. Got bowling, pool and darts down but never could throw a football. Fortunately I regained use of my right arm. 🤣
1:37 yes plastic balls with slugs and interchangeable devices are going to crack….. but not for the reason you site here… they crack because plastic is brittle and really doesn’t like large drill bits in general. They tend to form micro cracks around the hole below the surface when you use anything more than a 1 1/8” on them… Also, PSA to Bowlers: a good PSO isn’t going to “leave a sharp edge” on any interchangeable hole… And if they are… you need to FIRE THEM, as they’re voiding your warranty before your ball ever hits a lane. Read SPI/B7/motiv warranty sometime, all holes must be beveled. It’s not hard to take the ball out of the jig the second the bit’s stopping ring touches down, tap the top of that hole with the 1.75” bevel disc, line her back up in the jig, and then drop the interchangeable device in. if your ball driller is too lazy to take the 30 seconds to do this for you, they don’t deserve the $190-$300 dollars you just spent with them.
Can you spend more time during your reviews playing where the ball works best so we get more of a sense of how big the miss window is for each ball in its ideal zone. I would appreciate that greatly.
As someone who's bowled 40 years righty and around 3 years lefty... some days it's easier to be a lefty, and some days it's easier to be a righty.
Greatly appreciate the honorable mention 🙏

I got your stats up at 7:54 with a screenshot from your tv show at Earl’s!
Great idea for your vid !

Plastic is fantastic on THS!
Can we acknowledge how perfect that backswing is though?
Just need to add some speed!
As a lifelong lefty, i enjoyed that! Keep up the great work!
Left an 8pin, so on brand even lefty ha!
"I actually have Spectra running, haha"
I was waiting to see if you were going to say that, didn't take long!! Good vid!
Gave everyone a look at my specs once. They don’t need reminders that I throw it slowwwww lol
Well almost a clean game.
@@brunsnick I am left handed and yeah it can be hard but not impossible to play a sport with the opposite hand.
your ball speed left handed is still better than mine right handed. ouch
I watch all of your videos and that one is hilarious.
Now all youre missing is a 2 handed video....then youve conquered it all 🫵💪

With surface 100%! If I had more speed I’d fire it up 5.
Yay finally a lefty video! 😁😁

Got to say Nick great show

Cool video talk tech bowling Radical the spy plastic bowling ball brunsnick
Maaaaaan. You're beating my average in the 6th frame OFF HAND. I'm hopeless.

the spy is my spare ball..I am left handed...it is my go to this season to do down and in when i cant find a shot
As someone who switched and average 215 either way, somedays it's easy as hell and some days it's the hardest thing in the world to be lefty lol
I bowled a pro am in the 90s and one game was against Mike Aulby. Threw 250 something at him and thought I had him beat when he left a split in the 10th. Of course he picked it up and beat me!
He was simply incredible.
As your caddy, I would've recommended the Big Bite
Nice effort! Next up: two handed 😂
9:23
Most lefty’s. “Feeling good til I wasn’t”
Should've gone with a Rhino Solid 5x60 for your strike ball.
Love my spy! Try hitting it 2000.
Uhh I hit it with 1000 here
Even as a lefty, you hit the 1-3 pocket and leave an 8-pin!
Cursed forever. I know. lol
Also the cover thats the same ball I have!!
Ive always been a spin biscuit 😂 he says
Think you could a 7 arrow challenge?
Oh boy Nick’ I was righty for 35 years and an auto accident put me in the position if I wanted to bowl doctors said not right hand. So now 4 yrs lefty, avg 197 solid and I have oil lol
Nick-I’ve drilled many plastic balls and never had a thumb cracking issue…🤷♂️
Hello Brusnick, I what to try throwing left handed, what bowling ball and pound do you recommend for me?
No idea sorry. I don’t know you.
Your 14 mph launch speed is still 2 mph fast than me! 😂
BTW, if you are a lefty and you cross over that is not Brooklyn, it is Jersey. 😜
For they are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
Is that Parker Bohn?
Parker Bohn IV

Ask your local pro shop if they have any lightly used pre owned gear to get you started.
For your next video, do a 3 game series with any of your two favorite balls i.e one must be urethane and one must be reactive, AND try to bowl a no tap 900. And you HAVE to use both balls.
That’s a lot of bowling 😁
Would love to see your Specto #'s Lefty😮
It’s up there after the first frame.
Ohh yea they do.
How?
@@samhammer1134 less oil is taken off in same time as righties
Hence less transition needed for lefties
Unless it’s a sport pattern
@@bunker5696 fair
Who has more revs you lefty or Phil?
Probably me lol
BrunsNick I think your form is as good or better than rightie
Thanks!
Good try!
Maybe Phil was somewhat skilled.
Lefty BrunsNick is NunsBrick.
I'm guessing 203
Did you find yourself drifting to the right like you drift to the left?
Wasn’t paying attention. Forgot where I started anyway.
well im lefty and last time i scorre was 171 lol
Put a wrist brace on, you might throw it like that Johnny Wylde guy from Reno, he still throws it like shit though
You're just trolling Phil aren't you.
I’m going to challenge him to a match when he comes back.
maybe 150
No offense to the Seniors!
Can i have your left ball since you don’t ever use it i need more equipment :( as i am a lefty myself
Uh no
@@brunsnick worth a shot right?😂
"My average was too high.." 🙄
Average caps are average caps.
@@brunsnick Just had to throw that in there and “toot” your own horn…
See it’s not that easy on the left side is it 😜
Especially when you’re not a real lefty! 😁
This video would have been a lot easier to do if you just mirrored the visual somehow, and you wouldn't have needed to change hands.
@@stupendous1068 where’s the fun in that??
I can't imagine how disorienting this is
Very, after a motorcycle accident I had to spend a year learning everything left handed. Got bowling, pool and darts down but never could throw a football. Fortunately I regained use of my right arm. 🤣
@@theguyjt7921 if 178 is possible lefty in bowling, idk if switching lefty in pool is even possible as a righty lol
