Bro what u think is a better overall ball I’m more rev dominant speed like 13.5/14 hammer effect or Archetype hybrid I have both and I try n use on My league night House shot on the Fresh mostly .
Slightly different shape, I think the effect has more overall shape. If you’re more speed dominant, I think the effect will be more suitable as it will probably hook more overall and give more entry angle. If you’re rev dominant, I would recommend archetype hybrid for more control
New shoes looms nice. Also would like if you told us a little info on your stats and layout in each video. Maybe either state it in the beginning or a text box in the corner so we have more to go by or cna relate to what we see.
I can definitely start putting more of my layouts on the videos going forward. Initially I personally like answering them on comments to spark interest and discussion. Thanks for you feedback.
Right now my 2 layouts for the season are 3.75 and 3.5. Reason is… I often bowl on a lot of sport conditions, having that rolls the ball up sooner for me to control the breakpoint and mid lane. I also have a slightly higher axis tilt so sometimes my ball is more sensitive when playing the higher volume in the middle/ too angular when I get it out to the dry. So the layout blends that’s out a bit better imo.
I pretty much have 2 basic layouts I use during the season, try some different layouts in the off season for fun. But to keep it simple, I have 1 pin up, and 1 pin down layout for all my stuff.
Glad to see that NU being useable on a short pattern because I’m bowling a tournament in a few days on a 35 foot flat pattern and I switched weights so I don’t have any useable urethane balls and I sold my purple ☹️ lol
NU is still on of my favourites to blend out the patterns. My advice is to keep the surface of the NU on check, because that ball lane shines pretty quick and the reaction changes quite a bit as it changes.
Given this is a sport pattern, the ideal breakpoint is going to be in that general area. However, you can pin point when the ball starts hooking (front to back) to determine and notice the differences in shape.
True, but it does have it's place. Purple is more angular off the spot and IQ 78/u is still earlier. Overall still easier to use than the old traditional urethanes.
The Black Widow 3.0 and the Extreme Envy both have a little lane shine during filming of this video. If I use it on a house shot, I typically let it shine up a little to have a little more energy at the pins. I generally keep it sanded at 1000-1500 for sport patterns.
@@A1STBornKiLLa The 3.0 being Solid wants to roll up a little sooner to me, the effect is more off the spot and goes a little longer. Recently I had the chance to sand down the surface on the effect to use on a sport pattern, once I took the cover down, the ball became an earlier and more overall ball than the 3.0.
I couldnt resist ordering one.. i just drilled a phaze v (60x4,5x30) and it hit the spot in my bags but i still feel like i needed something stronger and this just looks like that. Any recommendations for layout? (500+ revs 17-19mph 1hander)
Hey nice to hear I was able to influencing you on getting this gem! If you bowl on more sport conditions and tougher patters I would recommend something with a slightly shorter pin distance around 3 3/4 - 4 inches (i.e 40 x 3 3/4 x 30) or if you bowl on more house shots and want to move left with it and stay ahead of the transition from everyone, consider something 4 1/2 - 5 inches away (i.e 45 x 4 1/2 x 30). Let me know how the ball rolls!
A lot of reviewers - especially Ron Hickland - is saying that it is an orange/citrus scent. Scents aside, it is more interesting that Storm abandoned the patent for scenting bowling balls.
@@broski818 That's actually the ball I use on heavier conditions, so that's actually my 1-2 punch when I need earlier pieces and shape. It's definitely a good compliment to have as a solid to pearl combo.
Definitely going to consider making other content other than just reviews in the future, just getting feedback right now from everyone before planning the future videos. I do like the idea of sharing some coaching tips to assist others to learn the game.
@@900proshop Thanks for the reply! Yeah your content thus far is really enjoyable to watch. I'm currently a student of the game and I'd love to see some educational videos in the future. Do you do virtual lessons by any chance? Thank you.
@@broski818 sorry that I completely missed your comment. Virtual coaching can be arranged, given if we have a time zone difference, we would see if it can be accommodated.
Really not a fan of the audio quality, sorry Sly! Anyway, the details are quite informative! I'm quite excited for future content - will you also feature a 2h look someday?
Hopefully the second video will give you a better expectation. We can definitely invite some 2H bowlers onto the channel to compare their looks with similar or different balls as well in the future.
New!!! Welcome the world of bowling ball reviews. A lot of us are long time bowlers. Good content sir! Are you a Brunswick staffer or so you just enjoy throwing those brand pieces? I ask because 75% of the content creators out there are tied to a single brand. Ctoss brand comparisons are welcome. Like comparing the Scorpion Low Flare to Tour Dynam-x and Motiv Black Venom.
Me personally (Sly) is a Hammer Regional Staff Member. We also have others in the shop, who are free agents, in future videos are planning to do other comparison videos with.
