Love the statement on the finish and I agree. I have a 3.0 widow that I love but keep at 4000 using a 5000 ctd pad by hand. Gives me just enough length before it starts to make its turn allowing me to control the pocket for at least 2-3 games before I have to ball down.
Enjoy your great videos. They are very useable to my bowling. Your simple understandable instructions give your videos good useful meaning to an average bowler. Keep on instructing as well in your videos. Thanks for your help !
Well coach... I'm sold! Ion max will be my first ever storm ball. Only been back in the game a few months now and need a big ASim for the top of the bag. Awesome video as usual.
U hit the nail on the head. We don’t look where the ball goes thru on strikes. We just see a strike. We need to look at how the ball is finishing and if it’s deflecting we need to make an adjustment even though it was a strike. Great tip Coach . 😃
Have a man at bowling who is buying a Ion Max he likes the way it looks. Wants it drilled, I do not think it will work for him. His speed is to slow and wood lanes I think is bad combination. But I like the motion of the ball and the Magic Gem. Both look good in your hand.
@@badbadbowling101 The look on his face should be priceless, I think I will video it. Whatever ball he buys will be to strong for wood lanes. They always buy top of the line, some others listen when I tell them entry level Trill, Tropical Surge, Counter attack they are the happy ones.
@@badbadbowling101 Hmmm, I never paid attention to the forearm during the process. I will certainly remember to try this the next time I hit the lanes.
@badbadbowling101 Question for you I'm an older guy throw it 13-14 speed avg.203 travel league. I feel like I'm in no man's land I can throw it straight and go left like 32 to 16 shape it nice problem no matter which way I start leaving boat loads of 4 pins and 10pins then the stone 9 . KINDA FRUSTRATING any TIP WILL HELP. Even my younger friends who crush it don't know what to say . Thanks 👍
I consider 10 pins a form of success. If I don't get a strike then I want to leave a 10 pin, which is an easy common leave rather than something much harder like a split. You can still get a strike rather than a 10 pin on light hits. So if you just make every 10 pin they are fine and nothing to get stressed out about.
Coach c looks like you have a winner with either ball. Let's see if. You can beat me this week. Another thing I was using the ion pro. Had a hard time seeing the ball start it's roll.
Magic Gem is my absolute favorite ball…. so mad they discontinued it already… Ridiculous.. I’m buying one for the closet to drill later… I gotta have that ball… I keep my Magic Gem dull at 2000 grit tho because I want it to hook earlier.. I just use the attention star ⭐️ when I need that later sharper hook…
I am with you!! However I have a secret the DV8 hater is the same ball as crazy as that sounds. However I’m going to order I think at least 1 more Magic Gem
@MarilynWhite-sc4zv this one is stronger! I’m not the biggest fan of the ion pro, but the ion max is different. Stronger a lot stronger it’s the strong cover
ive thought about upgrading to this but ive got the proton and its great but a few times you throw to the right and wont come back but this ball did, i would think that NEX is stronger than NRG but how does the proton stack up to this
@@badbadbowling101 yea that’s like me last week I don’t understand I shot the lights out first week of league gave me a 217 avg then the past 2 weeks I can’t get right
@@ThaHomieNitty_Bowls so I have been experimenting with surfaces having the balls at 7000. How I got them that high I took them up to 5000 then added compound. Then I put polish on each ball taking its up to about 7000. So that created a ton of over/under which makes it tricky to score. Also to make matters worse I drew the bad part which is lane 21-22 in my center. I didn’t draw it once, but twice in the first 4 weeks which is crazy. However I will get back on scoring pace, and should be somewhere in the 220s here shortly.
@@ThaHomieNitty_Bowls I have never been on staff with any company other than Bowlifi. All others like Louis and Charles all of them are/were staffers at some point. Every ball that is or has been ever thrown on my channel, and I mean every last one has come out of my pocket. I have paid for every single ball I have ever reviewed, or the kids have reviewed.

The game is all about understanding what you are seeing.

Another banger from coach C and BBB101 👍
Thanks appreciate that

@@free2befree well what I can tell you is you won’t be disappointed with it at all. Welcome back my good brother

Absolutely!!! Having a better understanding of the game is how we improve.

Man I need to see the video on him rolling the Max on wood lanes should be funny.

Great video 😅 thank you!
Thank you
That magic Gem though.. i can see why its your fav.. your confidence with it as wellI have been wanting that ball since it came out and the summit
You better get one soon because they discontinued it.
@badbadbowling101 not gonna happen. Th3y will be sold out by the time I'm able to afford a new ball. I'm selling 3 of mine to put towards a new ball
Thanks for reviewing the setup and position of the ball. I usually push away straight and not at the target. That may explain my inaccracy!🤔
Oh watch your accuracy increase, but remember your forearm is the key. Where your forearm is aligned is where the ball will go every single time.
@@badbadbowling101 Hmmm, I never paid attention to the forearm during the process. I will certainly remember to try this the next time I hit the lanes.
Love ya coach C.
Appreciate you
Nice video keep up the positive work 👍.
Thanks, and I always keep it positive. Even if there is a ball that I don’t like it doesn’t mean someone else won’t love it.

Man I really like your perspective
Great video! Hate leaving 10pin cause my conversion rate 😑but will be implementing 42/25 🙂
Once you have it down you won’t worry about a 10 pin anymore
Coach c looks like you have a winner with either ball. Let's see if. You can beat me this week. Another thing I was using the ion pro. Had a hard time seeing the ball start it's roll.
I did have a few shots that I couldn't tell what was different
I accept the challenge!! What are you going to do challenge me in lane talk? I don’t believe we bowl together do we?
@@badbadbowling101 no. Coach c. I'm in ohio. I just had my first league night. 671.
If you need me to verify it I can post a picture on my community tab. Probably tomorrow after scores are posted. Not sure if my center lane talk
@polarbearchad5871 well you might have to be my test subject so we can learn to do matches using lane talk.you up for it?

I thought magic was still in production? Isn’t it just the Gem that’s going away?
@@frisbeefrolf no it’s on the list made me sad
@@badbadbowling101 daaamn big sad. I do like the Hater tho
I wish it was just the Gem going away… I was shocked to see the Magic Gem on that list… Thanks for the info about the DV8 Hater
What kind of speed does a person need to throw to be able to handle a ball like the Ion Max?
Well this the right surface for the person I would imagine you could throw almost any speed.
@badbadbowling101 I have the Ion pro and find it doesn't dig into the heavier oil patterns as much as I had hoped.
@MarilynWhite-sc4zv this one is stronger! I’m not the biggest fan of the ion pro, but the ion max is different. Stronger a lot stronger it’s the strong cover

Is that FSU for Florida state?
@@badbadbowling101 yes
@FSUSean2112 that’s my favorite team
