I picked up one Friday, so I took it and my brand new Reality to the lanes while I was on a quick trip. Only been bowling a few months, but shot a 206 and 199 with the Duo, and a 212 with the Reality. My first ever natural +600 set with no league handicap. I was extremely happy , as well! Glad you liked it, too, Jason!
The past two years I've been pretty disappointed in Storm overall. THIS is what we've been waiting for. Love how that shaped off of the breakpoint for you. You and I really do have similar tastes. I've got a fresh spot in my bag for a sym pearl and looks like this will make the lineup for sure.
At least they put oil on the lanes when there’s no leagues. Our center doesn’t believe in oil when there’s no league. Makes it impossible to practice. Fire jersey and fire review!!
Idea....Do a live stream for a ball review. Interact with us while you are reviewing the ball. Maybe throw some shots from our suggestions to see how the ball your reviewing would react for lines we play. I think it would be fun.
I'm a little torn between this and the Fate. Fate rolled great for me at a Matchmaker and I haven't thrown this yet, but I'm speed dominant and this has been recommended. Might need to throw the Exotic again, too, but it wasn't as good for me as I thought it would be.
How many games does it usually take you before you resurface your balls from the last time you resurface them. Also can you ever sand a ball too much I had sanded down my phaze 2 to 500 and tried to bring it back to box finish it no longer hooks the same. I need help only a few months in to bowling.
Great question. I'm the wrong person to ask for that exact reason. I don't do any surface alterations and just use the ball to death. The best balls I've thrown have gone untouched for years and haven't lost performance.
You can absolurely reset the surface of your Phaze II. I would recommend taking it to the pro shop to do. Have a conversation with them about what you were trying to do by taking it down to 500 and they may recommend something other than box finish.
i noticed towards the end of the edit the ball started deflecting more. Can you give an explanation as to why? the reason i ask is because i notice my ball does the same.
Everyone I talk to says this reminds them of the Zen. I think differently. I think this ball is very close to the Blue Idol Pearl. eTrax (I think) is a slightly weaker cover than the Microtrax (or I have them reversed). Looking at the motion I see Idol Pearl vibes (and the Idol Pearl was money when it could be used. I drilled 3 of them back when it came out, 2 short pins 1 normal).
You have made this ball look good. It looks more controllable. All the other reviews i have seen it looked extra jumpy off the dry and not a strong move like yours does
Been out of the game for a year due to injury/sickness, so the last SPI ball I bought was the Reality Check. Between then and this Duo, which SPI balls should I avoid?
Looks nice but those colors are trash IMO. Last SPI ball I liked was UFO Alert and all other I liked were the classics in hy road and phaze 2. I liked the honey badger intensity and money badger from global but not much else. A lot of hype from them and their staffers
@@ADJones-vy5hs where i worked at a bowling center, we would allow it as long as they were brand new and you used them strictly for bowling. if you used your regular every day shoes, little rocks would be in the sole of the shoe gouging the approaches

The GEM and Ruby are "terrible?" 😂😂😂 95% of people loved both those balls. How about, instead of calling a ball terrible, you say it didnt match up with you specifically. There have been very few "terrible," balls by any company. May not be good for your style or for conditions you bowl on. "We don't need pearls to roll at the arrows..." Spoken like a true house hack bowler. How many pba bowlers are out there throwing hyped pearls? Majority of bowlers benefit from a ball that doesnt turn left, without a blinker, as soon as it sees friction.
1. I can only account for MY experience. This channel is for the 5% then. 2. Look at the extremes you took it to. I have to be a house hack because I don't want a ball to setup at the arrows? Why do people loft in the 1st place? Because the heads are shot! No heads and a ball that reads at the arrows sounds like fun. 3. So because I'm not a "pro" my perspective is invalid? Maybe you should've asked if I've even used a Hyped Pearl or Idol Pearl on at PBA event and I could've easily told you YES and I made the cut. Belmo make a career throwing Hyroad but somehow throwing low end is wrong? 4. To keep anonymity I won't tell you names but I have national TOURING pros confirm my reviews. 5. Believe it or not I can do things physically that pros can't. I HAVE NO INTEREST IN BOWLING FOR A LIVING. I'm NOT a follower, I can throw a Hyped Pearl and be successful. Try again. 🙄🙄
Love the way this looks down lane. Another great video
Thanks. Shapes real nice!

Facts!!! So hard for die hards to admit that. This is going to be insane on med volume house shots!
I havent had any spi ball that i've bought disappoint me lately. just shot 808 and my 3rd 300 in just over a year ( 5th lifetime) with the Revenate
Now this is a GREAT review!!!👏👏👏👏
Thanks!

Wow nice recovery on the backend.
Loving the socks!

This duo is just awesome. Out of box shot 785. Then last Thursdays shot 300-832 my highest 800 series. I love this ball alot
Another great review. What ever happened to the Power Torq Pearl? 🤔 All you did was strike with it.
Lost in the shuffle...worked great for that but wasn't the same in other places.
I'm a little torn between this and the Fate. Fate rolled great for me at a Matchmaker and I haven't thrown this yet, but I'm speed dominant and this has been recommended. Might need to throw the Exotic again, too, but it wasn't as good for me as I thought it would be.
Exotic 🗑....lol. Let me know how it works for you.
Let's go!
💪🏿💪🏿
Nice review. Did you ever do the GB4 pearl?
Thanks. No just the 4.

Are you gonna throw that Track Stealth Pearl. Symmetrical Pearl!!! :D
Didn't hear about that one.
Ball doesn’t look too bad but imma be honest,EVERYONE CAN WE APPRECIATE THE FIRE OF THAT JERSEY COLORWAY!!!

cant wait to drill mine and try it

Idol Pearl is 🐐. Not even close to the Zen for me because I hated that thing.

This is probably as toned down as its going to get based on what I was on.
Been out of the game for a year due to injury/sickness, so the last SPI ball I bought was the Reality Check. Between then and this Duo, which SPI balls should I avoid?
I alternate brands so I haven't thrown everything but the Idol Cosmos, ruby IQ, Gem & Exotic Gem were terrible for me.
GBuck what stuff are you gonna be bowling on and what speed and revs do you throw?
@@elijahpipkin4081 leagues and various tournaments. Medium speed and low to medium revs.
Nice video, what pattern is on here, and how many holes in this ball
Used house following a league. Just 3.
How would you say this ball stacks up against the No Rules Pearl
Didn't throw that one. Colors are similar right?
@@hihbowling yes , that's why i'm really considering getting this one. NRP was a really popular ball. It wasn't available when i started bowing again.
Welp looks like I might have a replacement for my mid at best DV8 Turmoil 2 Pearl…
That T2P was nice.
@@hihbowling it’s rarely if ever done anything for me I’m afraid. The Hyped Pearl has replaced it in my bag IMHO
What weight is the ball
15#
That's impressive! About 31mils Of Oil here in the South you are Luck If You Find 24mils😂
🤣🤣🤣. Trust me it's a rarity here too.
Stone 9 is a good sign lol just tryina rhyme
🤣🤣🤣. Drop the beat!
Website is down
What you got against the Ruby?? Lol
Did you see it up against the Hyped Pearl?? Lol 🗑. #overhyped
@hihbowling idk bro lol. That ball hasn't failed me yet.
Looks nice but those colors are trash IMO. Last SPI ball I liked was UFO Alert and all other I liked were the classics in hy road and phaze 2. I liked the honey badger intensity and money badger from global but not much else. A lot of hype from them and their staffers
Facts. Proton, RST X2, Wolverine, Hyped Pearl were like the last great releases from them.
How in hell can you wear 3stripes while you’re bowling? USBC is slipping 😂
🤣🤣🤣. Dedicated bowling shoes.
@@hihbowling I’m going to see if they let me bowl in my league with regular sneakers because I plant so I don’t need to slide.
One of the younger pros has an exemption to wear sneakers on the PBA. Dedicated shoes still, like Jason's.
@@ADJones-vy5hs where i worked at a bowling center, we would allow it as long as they were brand new and you used them strictly for bowling. if you used your regular every day shoes, little rocks would be in the sole of the shoe gouging the approaches
Don’t thank Storm so much, it’s Roto Grip & Roto Schlem!
Gem, Exotic and Cosmos 🗑.......lol
First
Aye!
bruh you have a lot of revs for a one hander
Who uses facebook? 😅

Hi. Do you provide online coaching? If so, can I have your email to contact you? Thank you
I don't sorry. Don't have the time.
