Headed to Vegas next week for nationals. Bringing Gem, VEBO, Helios, and HyRoad Pearl. Glad to see my thoughts on arsenal were close to your suggestions. Great video. Thank you!
My 6-ball arsenal I plan to bring to nationals is 1. Black widow 2.0 (or drill a harsh reality or other assym solid) 2. Attention Star 3. Phaze 2 4. OG Zen 5. IQ Tour Nano Pearl 6. IQ Tour 78/U (spare ball)
Set to bowl the last weekend of the tournament. Currently planning: Optimum Idol Absolute Pearl (Exo Pearl cover) Tour DynamX Xponent Pearl RST X-2 Spare ball Depending on how the patterns end up playing and we get feedback from others, I'll drill a couple fresh covers right before we go. A 2nd DynamX or Idol is on the radar right now, will also depend on what else gets released before then
How does Gem, Eternity, Zen, (IQ Ruby or Revenant), Mix look? Trying to decide what to buy for the spot between Eternity and Zen. Thinking about IQ Tour or Optimum Idol.
So in your experience is it typically flat and medium to long? My arsenal is Reality, BW 3.0, Phase 2, Web tour and Ice. I have never really thrown Urethan but I would not be opposed to getting one
Personally I’d pick either the Pi or the DNA. Don’t want 2 balls too close together because selections could be limited. I understand though if you really like both of those and your speed/rev rate play style puts you in them more.
I am a fan of anything effective. I don’t take it but that doesn’t mean it’s not effective for players that want to control the lane. I fair much better with short pin reactive.

If you are able to add an Idol or Tour solid I think you could greatly benefit from it.

2ish:1 and yes. I don’t remember seeing anything real short the last 10 years or so. I think it’s been between 37’-43’ or so.
@@jeffshadbolt857 I was thinking that your arsenal was a bit top heavy, but 2ish to 1, that is really flat, very good video
What do you think about: Mix, Phase2, Reality, PurpleHammer UrethanPearl, RST-X2, Hy-Road Pearl. ? Should I replace one of these?
Seems like a solid line up. Depends on speed and rev rate. I still really enjoy the X2. Can always make surface adjustments there.
Going end of May. Super Nova, Phaze II, Infinite Physix, Fate, Hy-road, Ice.
Like the video. Do u think PI, DNA, VEBO, IQ Tour Solid, Ruby, n ICE is a good bag? Thanks

Im takin a Ebonite Gyro, Terry Otto's dynothane, and Hammer big blue pearl.
Traveling afar I can only bring 3 balls, what 3 balls would you select?
Really depends on speed and rev rate and your numbers. Also what you shoot spares with.
Not a fan of urethane at Nationals for any reason. 😠

With that being said, you can mess up a pair pretty easy as well. However you can do that with any ball!
