According to my PSO, I'm a balanced bowler, maybe slightly rev dominant. My 3 ball senior league arsenal is the Attention Star, Xponent (solid) and Hustle USA. Nice to see the Attention Star show up on your list. It's been a great ball for me so far.
I'm enjoying these type of reviews, thanks. I think I'm a balanced bowler. I throw the newer Radical Conspiracy. House shot, low to medium oil. MY ball speed is around 12 at the pins. I stand a little left (24 board), get some shape to the right throwing through the 17 board. 180 avg. Would you consider me a balanced bowler?
I love your videos Ben and this one in particular I’m considering a new purchase for league which I bowl in three houses on three types of lane conditions oily, medium oil and high friction with this in mind as a low speed low rev 70 year old I value your opinion can you recommend any of these 5 balls that would cover my needs even if getting two new balls will be okay. My happy spot is standing between 20 - 30 and being not afraid to throw it right and have it make it back up the hill without quitting or going through the break. Thanks again for all your videos for before I purchase any balls I look to see your reviews first
If you're willing to go for two instead of one, I think the combination of the mesmerize and actually the Fireball P/G would work really well with the wide disparity of conditions you have to contend with.
I wish I could say, but I haven’t even seen the ExJ go down the lane, let alone thrown one myself. Instinctually I would say no, and rather that it would be wiser to pick one of the two, but that’s all speculation without first hand data.
I cannot stop saying good things about the attention star, it is such a balanced ball that you can play it all over the lanes and it gets right back into the pocket. Storm really has a winner with that ball. I wish that Storm would bring more attention line balls to the states (like the attention spot, its solid counterpart)
Love the Attention star! Have an Optimal Idol and Zen also I’m looking for something below that like IQ Ruby, Lighting blackout, Hustle X-Ray or the Hyper Venom. I’m a balanced bowler just curious what you would recommend out of the four wear balls for when the fronts burn up? Thanks love the videos very helpful
I’m redoing my arsenal this league season how does this sound? Heavy oil smooth: subzero forge Heavy oil angular: crimson jacks Medium oil: pride liberty (benchmark) Light oil angular: hyper venom Light oil smooth: max thrill solid
@@bowlersparadise2255 just got most of them drilled ! I took your advice and got them venom shock, I used it yesterday and averaged 163 in my sport shot league yesterday with it!
Thank for the comparisons. Question I’m almost 60 still toss an old 16lb 300 after shock speed is now down to 13.5. Can I still get good carry with 14lb? With all the new balls out there not sure which one to buy yet but the pro shop offers demos to try
Most people at this point believe that 14# balls carry about 95% as well as 15# balls, and if you’re struggling to throw the ball with any rate of speed, I think it would at least be worth a shot.
your selections here are for 'Super Heavy' oiling for our country here in Malaysia, our usual daily lanes are very dry (maybe 10-12 mil) and 32-35 feet length after fresh oiling 🙁 so these ball here are for uncles and aunties that really do not know how to hook the ball
@@bowlersparadise2255 I've been throwing plastic ball last week 🥲, 3rd arrow to the gutter and hooking back to pocket....while pearl reactive (after polish) can be forcefully thrown coast to coast after fresh oiling 😂....we living in the past over here, at least 20-30 years backwards
Loved all three of these videos, with rev vs speed vs balanced
Oh just wait.
They get better lol
@bowlersparadise2255 just bought the gem instead of the magic gem.
Hopefully I chose correctly
Great video. I want all of them !!!! lol. Definitely adding the vaporizer to my bag tho
Still trying to find the consistency for the mesmerize & vaporize ...but when they strike it's a beauty !
The mesmerize definitely needs a break in period. Probably 4-6 games for it to really turn on.
Just about 50 subscribers away from transforming into Megamind. We can't wait bud.
That dang costume needs to make its way to this side of the ocean!

Would the Subzero Forge be a good compliment to the Venom ExJ for a slightly rev-dominant bowler? Also been loving this series of videos.
I wish I could say, but I haven’t even seen the ExJ go down the lane, let alone thrown one myself. Instinctually I would say no, and rather that it would be wiser to pick one of the two, but that’s all speculation without first hand data.

I'd love to see a hybrid in the attention line!

I’d probably do with the lightning blackout actually. You’ll appreciate having the slightly stronger but less core than the other two options.
@@bowlersparadise2255 yeah my friend said since I’m speed dominant and matched bowler that he said the same go with LBO. Thanks for the tip 🙏🏻
sweet 600 peeps here comes mega mind :)
I’m redoing my arsenal this league season how does this sound?
Heavy oil smooth: subzero forge
Heavy oil angular: crimson jacks
Medium oil: pride liberty (benchmark)
Light oil angular: hyper venom
Light oil smooth: max thrill solid
I’d personally put the venom shock at the bottom instead of the Max Thrill, but everything else looks great!
@@bowlersparadise2255 thank you!!

I’ve watched tons of ball review and this is the Best ball review channel hands down. Sean (Singapore)

That Mesmerize keeps calling to me, but IDK if I need such a strong ball right now as a slightly rev dominant bowler.
If you tend to bowl on higher volumes of oil, the mesmerize is gonna be pretty good even if you're slightly rev dominant.

With such low volumes of oil, what can you even throw that’s been manufactured after 2001?

Currently have the attention star and eternity PI the tourney bag, but can’t stop watching the mesmerize and vaporize vids, worth the switch? Lol
Mesmerize is nice. Gotta keep it in oil. My assyms are mesmerize, widow 3.0, polished eternity pi.
If they’re new-ish, no, probably not worth it.
But once they’re ready to be replaced, mesmerize/vaporize is going to be hard to beat.
Pure envy
That one’s gonna be good.
Hammer Scorpion Sting
I wish I had a chance to throw that one.
I want the Subzero. But I have the ExJ Venom. So close together. But I do like the ExJ.
Great review
Thank you!
Attention Star 🤌🏾
Whatever “it” is, the attention star has it.
