I have the original Gem. I’m looking at this one as a Christmas present for myself and I’ve been waiting on the review. Great shots. Thank you
Wow, wasn't expecting such a good look from the Exotic on a house shot!
Me either!
Barnzy was my favorite bowler growing up. I'm no longer that young kid and was out of the game for a while. Good to see he's still going strong.
Great ball review ever. This is the first ball review I watched with Beef and Barnzy. Thanks Chris.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow that is a very pretty ball roll real smoothly on the lanes can't wait too buy one
My favorite Storm ball is the IQ tour brand love that core, looking forward to the Sun Storm ball coming out soon.
279 I'd say it's decent lol trip 4, 9. Carried a couple weak half pocket hits. Looks like it blended the house conditions nicely.
Love the videos, thanks!
Man, I used to bowl league with my dad at AMF Lewisville, we were always hoping to get a chance to meet you. I believe my brother used to go to school with your son at harpool middle way back when
Friend gave me an exotic gem as he didn't like it. I throw slower, just a hair under 15, so I've been in around 3rd arrow, bowing out to around the 10 board, and it's been a very predictable performer. I don't come around it too much so I've been using it for spares as well. Really nice league ball so far.
My bag right now is phaze 3 jackal le and no rules. My no. Rules has seens its day but since my phaze has been dying out I've soaked and cleaned my no rules and 6 year later I still love it and I feel like this exotic gem would be a great replacement for the no rules
It's probably just lane polish. I had a 12 year old hell raiser revenge that saw a few thousand games without a resurface. A half hour with saiair pads brought it right back to life
Most of us out here watching you guys, you and Stu, would love to be able to manipulate hand positions to make things work better,
When you changed from the exotic to the nova and you added axis tilt with sour hand, I would love to see your hand position with the exotic slow Mo and then nova slow Mo just to see the difference you talk about, I’m 195 avg,
I agree it would be great if we could see the hand position
Barnzy that’s a HUGH compliment for the ball, being the best ball you’ve ever thrown 😮yeah the Nova has no chance
Good review thanks
Thanks for watching!
Purchased one yesterday. Probably my favorite ball ever.
still ur fav?
@@chadmcdaniel438 Yup. Still use it more than any other ball in my arsenal. Sun Storm LE is my 2nd highest use ball.
@@dwaynelofton4034 thank you
how strong is it hook wise
this and a trend 2 good for league?
I've been saying this alot on other review videos for the Exotic Gem that I love the bright colors. Reminds me of the Haywire in that regard. Chris, how much stronger do you feel the Exotic is against the Nuclear Cell? Looks really good!
Much stronger than the Nuclear. Nuclear is probably going to be sharper off the spot, but considerable step down. Think the Exotic is one of the strongest pearl balls available
Hey Chris. Can you describe the difference in length/reaction between a polished solid and a pearl
Solids tend to be smoother when polished than hybrids or pearls
I never bought a Gem, but it was recommended to me a few times.
The Exotic looks MUCH better!
I am interested in it.
The Exotic might be more interesting to me than the Infinite at this point.
Gonna wait for a few more reviewers that dont bowl as well to see a closer comparison to my potential lol.
looks like the approach floor needs to get stripped and redone. really dirty!
did u end up getting the exotic?
@@chadmcdaniel438 No I ended up getting an OG Physix and Reality
May I ask what changed ur mind. Just getting into bowling again after 3 years. Are u happy with ur choices ?
@@chadmcdaniel438 Same here.
I was bowling from about 6 or 7:00 to about 10 years old.
And then I never pulled again until I was 49.
I've been bowling once a week sometimes 2x.
My thumb developed an issue with nerve damage.
I had a choice to make, quit bowling, try left handed or no thumb.
I chose the no thumb route which caused me a strain in my bicep so I went to two-handed no thumb.
As a result my balls didn't roll right anymore, and the people on the league complained that I was using a ball with three holes and not using the thumb hole. I guess it violates USBC rules or something.
Balls are expensive and so is the drilling.
I found used ones with existing no. Thumb to ended holes already.
That was the basis of my decision.
2 balls for the price of one.
I have several balls, but many need to be plugged and re-drilled.
I'm going to drill my own balls from now on after i learn and get some practice on old balls i come across that are cheap or free with damage etc...
I find the reality and the physix to both be pretty strong because who had to do automatically have a little bit more hook potential.
I think the exotic gem would be even stronger. Would force me to try and chuck the ball down the land at 18 mph to keep from going past the headpin.
@@BARBELLS-AND-BUDS thank you very much. Sorry to hear about the setbacks you cane across but glad to hear you found ways around it
I live close by but bowl at Bowlero, would love to meet you and take a lesson sometime, Im not great. Broke my rand hand 3 times and now arthritis has kicked in so its very tough to hook the ball
Does this ball pair well with the gem as lane conditions break down? (For a lower rev rate bowler like myself)
I think so. Cleaner and more angular. But still a very strong ball
Can throw that ball anywhere. Kinda crazy
New gemmm
Would love if the camera were zoomed out a little more so we could watch the approach and release a little better.
Is the rotogrip ufo inllegal because some people say that ball inllegal
Would have liked to see the supernova in the mix
Super Nova is quite a lot stronger. We were trying to compare similar balls (ie Pearls balls)
Magenta Chris 😉
I have a storm nova with quite a bit of lane shine been throwing it since June my first and only ball, I really want the exotic gem are they too similar or is it worth giving it a shot?
I think you could add something different to see more of a gap if you only have the nova. If you really want the exotic gem, I suggest adding surface to the nova to separate the balls
Thank you 🙏🏼
Replacement for the Altered??
Little earlier than altered - but waaayyy closer than I thought it would be!
Hi Chris
Im Alex from germany and im in Bowling for 43 years. Im 53.
And i follow you many Years in PBA and i like your style.
And i had a average over the Years from 205, but i had no professionell Trainer, i all learned from myself, and Look by other bowlers.
And i bowled 35 years in german League, and in house League.
I qualified ten Times for german Masters.
And i won 4 bavarian Titels, 2 in singles and 2 in doubles.
On of them i were 20, and my double Partner were 17, and we were Not listed for the tournement.
But we drive to the Bowling Alley, and we get the last start place, and then we win the tournement!!!
My Question is:
How would you list all the balls you play in this Video, from strong to low.
Alex
How does this compare to the RST-X2 ?
It's really more comparable to the RXT-X3. Both are great balls IMO.
can we stop throwing on the dry spot on house shot? we all know every ball looks good there and it's just a matter of using the right angle. may be on on the middle when there's oil or carry down?
Layout on physics is? Same ?
About 1” higher (above my middle finger)
@@BeefandBarnzy ahh less buffer
👏👏👏
Exotic or shiny Reality? I promise to order one or the other on your link!
Exotic
@@BeefandBarnzy thank you I will order!
Sounds like too much work to use the nova compared with the Gem.
279, and who says the bowling ball does not make the bowler??
PRO throwing a NEW ball on a house shot should look like that everytime
Hey, that ball makes him look like a Professional Bowler. hahaha
