This is really good stuff, Darren. So many other UA-cam channels would make the first half of the video, describe the balls, and then call it a day. Taking the time to throw the balls and focus on ball motion and reaction is what makes this such valuable content.
I’ve watched a lot of your videos. Watching you helped me improve my one handed bowling also ive just started bowling a year ago so im happy to see a quick improvement.
Loved this video Darren! Excellent explanation of the balls and how multiple can fit into categories, rather than just the usual strong/weak, solid/pearl, asym/sym. I love your way of breaking down why choose a ball, and the fact that you side over to the discontinued favourites rather than just fluffing up the new ball to make sales lol Really appreciate the knowledge, production value and time you put into these vids man! Keep it up!
Bring back the Alpha Crux! I would love to see the catalyst core with the NEX cover stock, what you think Darren? Love the videos and thanks for the content!
So I am really enjoying your videos man. The only downside is there aren't more of them. You describe everything so well and the quality is just way above everyone else. Keep doing what you're doing!
Two of my upmost favorite storm/roto grip are the defiant pin down and out to the left and the mb next to thumb and then another defiant with pin beside my ring finger and mb next to thumb . The pin beside is for cliff and the down is when I need to switch from the pin above ring finger and mb next to thumb zero gravity
Hey, Darren. I'm a two-handed bowler that has a big focus towards shape and friction response more than anything. My rev-rate is about 500-550 and my rotation is about 74° and my tilt tends to fluctuate between 23° and 35° depending on what I need to do. Here's my arsenal: 1. PhysiX 2. Halo Pearl 3. Marvel Pearl 4. Wreck'Em 5. Hyroad-X 6. Electrify Hybrid Thoughts?
Have you ever made a physical chart for this? Like a little notebook for your gear to review while on the lanes. (I'm thinking like we see with golf) Been pondering something but haven't come up with anything I like.
Love the channel Darren. Just curious what are you throwing for a spare ball? Second question, just bought a spectre what would you recommend for a replacement given the recent news? Looking in either in the storm or 900 global lineup? Thanks man.
Darren, what would you say is the biggest benefit to a five step approach over four step? I'm gonna be getting some coaching soon and want to know if that's another aspect of my game to work on.
did you use the same layout on all these since they will react differently and then just change the surface as needed or do they all have different layouts, also can you do a vid on how you built the arsenal, you mentioned the slots the balls fill but other than the iq tour you didnt really explain how you know that those others fit where they do, did you base it off the rg and diff of each one
Throwing some oldies but goodies, I wish I could get a RotoGrip Idol Pearl and a Rising Star from back in the day preferably un-drilled but if not no biggie I have my own ball spinner to surface it after it’s drilled
What makes you like the alpha so much? I’m a urethane guy and I kinda default to a big asym when I need more traction. They seem to smooth out the back of the lane for me so I don’t have to worry about crazy splits. You think what the alpha does translates to a lower rev straighter lefty? Think like PA, but I’m terrible 😂
My only struggles is getting multiple of the right size thumb plug... I have one perfect size one but I can't get any pro shop guys to make it exact again. 🤦🏻♂️
So I’m a lefty that doesn’t use a thumb. My go to is Storm Physix and it tends to last all 3 for me but I have a pink black widow that I can’t seem to throw bc it has too much back end. Do u have any recommendations of a different ball I can get when the lanes start to break down?
Hey Darren quick question you should get the idol synergy roto grip hybrid cover stock really great ball and I’m having trouble hooking on house ball oil patterns
At the end, you said "at a tournament where you can only bring 6 balls, this is the 6 i bring" - do tournaments not include a plastic in that count? Obviously you only bring 1 spare ball but is it not counted in the 6?

That segment with the iQ has some meme-worthy faces for sure

I love the tone in this video- more like this!
Great info Darren!

This has to be my favorite video of yours so far
What a great video. Good information and Jesse did an great job with it. Also love how you made the video entertaining at the same time.

Omg... That would roll soooooo good
This is vitamin D tang signing out! There your out ...great video man
So I am really enjoying your videos man. The only downside is there aren't more of them. You describe everything so well and the quality is just way above everyone else. Keep doing what you're doing!
Nice video! Living vicariously through ya right now, lanes closed down in NM. Keep throwing it great and loving the sport!
Really enjoyed this one! Can you do an updated version for your arsenal near the end of 2022?

Every time he strikes, “that’s why I like that ball” 😂

Keep up the great work. Thanks
Awesome video and great content. Is it possible for you to do a video showing where your setdown point and break points are for when you're throwing?
HI, Darren! Can you teach some tips about how to tone the thumb hole right? For some reason to quick release the ball.
Sick with it as usual, YES SIR doing what you do spitting knowledge 💁🏾♂️
Thanks 🤙🏾
Hi Darren, can you do a tutorial video for your release?
I must say that the hair looks like the parallax that storm just came out with. First thing I noticed. Lol
Darren, what would you say is the biggest benefit to a five step approach over four step? I'm gonna be getting some coaching soon and want to know if that's another aspect of my game to work on.
Hi
Did you play all the Balls on the same oil pattern?
Alex
Thoughts on the hustle ink?
did you use the same layout on all these since they will react differently and then just change the surface as needed or do they all have different layouts, also can you do a vid on how you built the arsenal, you mentioned the slots the balls fill but other than the iq tour you didnt really explain how you know that those others fit where they do, did you base it off the rg and diff of each one

I see the RST being there in the future
Hey Darren, big fan of your videos! Do you use a spinner or just scuff it by hand when you add surface to your bowling balls?
So Darren got a question for you what is the one thing I should remember when throwing the pitch black a urethan ball?
Make sure it hooks in the front part of the lane!
How did you like the all road or the Astro physix?
What makes you like the alpha so much? I’m a urethane guy and I kinda default to a big asym when I need more traction. They seem to smooth out the back of the lane for me so I don’t have to worry about crazy splits. You think what the alpha does translates to a lower rev straighter lefty? Think like PA, but I’m terrible 😂
You are bad ass. Thanks for the great info.
Did someone play with a laser pointer in the video??
do you like the hot cell?
Hy road pearl is incredible
Why do you pick hyroad pearl over the hybrid?
My only struggles is getting multiple of the right size thumb plug... I have one perfect size one but I can't get any pro shop guys to make it exact again. 🤦🏻♂️
What layout do you use for your Alpha?
So I’m a lefty that doesn’t use a thumb. My go to is Storm Physix and it tends to last all 3 for me but I have a pink black widow that I can’t seem to throw bc it has too much back end. Do u have any recommendations of a different ball I can get when the lanes start to break down?
Why not try the IQ Tour since your a lefty?
Great video
Alpha Crux is my all time favorite
what ball would you throw on that pattern
I have lots of balls. 17 to be exact.
Need an update to this!
You keep looking at that Alpha Crux you love it huh? Lol mee too.
Did you ever throw the virtual energy by storm, that ball was fun to throw and it was the best smelling, #pearberry
any tips to help my push away
Hey Darren quick question you should get the idol synergy roto grip hybrid cover stock really great ball and I’m having trouble hooking on house ball oil patterns
Tang I think you just say “I’m really bad at outros” every time just to use that as your outro.
No one gonna point out his arms got bigger. Like man used to be a twig a few years ago
At the end, you said "at a tournament where you can only bring 6 balls, this is the 6 i bring" - do tournaments not include a plastic in that count? Obviously you only bring 1 spare ball but is it not counted in the 6?
I flatten my hand out for spares. So I shoot spares with any ball in my bag
@@DarrenTang ahh so you dont bring a spare ball! That clears it up, cheers
900 Global videos soon?
Hey does your brother still bowl?
I feel like if you have a category that everything fits in it's no longer a category.
All My all time favorite balls are discontinued. Storm Lock, Hyper Cell, Web Tour, Code Red, Meltdown
Someone trying to be sniping that alpha crux and idol pearl.
It’s not fair... how does he keep getting a new Alpha Crux... Lol.
IQ emerald is the daddy ball.
Moral of the story? Darren really likes blue balls.
Hey do you throw 15 or 16. Mainly asking because of the differences in the hyroad and IQ
15
@@DarrenTang thank you
ALPHA CRUX... AND A NEW ONE AT THAT.... (STASH?)....LOL COULD BE.......
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
"More tools, more options", for a guy like me(with autism) that makes things worse... I want to condense my options or things get confusing...
Are we sure he is a pro 😉😉
i read all time arsenal and all it did was leave me miserable. Gunners are not who we were
