@@jrproshop Awesome review. Im really thinking about getting the Proton as im a high ball speed kinda guy. Not alot of revs, but hoping this balls strong enough to not deflect some pocket hits. Would you recommend it for lower rev like myself?
i know Im randomly asking but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
From what I remember, one of the strongest balls in my arsenal is the original track paradox. I have not purchased a bowling ball in quite some time, and watching these videos may change that.
Most hookingest ball for me is the Hammer Black Widow 2.0. Got mine 55 x 5 x 35. The only ball in my bag that I can consistently move way left and throw it to the right gutter, it will always get back!
Watching the video after drilling a proton 80x4 1/4x60 and it was the best ball on dragon. Threw a nice 9 bagger - back 7 and front 2 with it. Closest hooking ball I had was an oob halo pearl and it didn’t hook. Left handed, so there is no define shape as there is on the right. Line used was 25 and hitting 15 break point maybe 12 and the proton dug in. Recommend it for anyone needed an oiler. It’s very impressive.
Not sure how i have never stumbled across your videos, but now that i have i will frequent your channel. You're doing a great job and your format is wonderful. Really good job here guys... really good.
Strongest hooking Ball i have or ever had: Motiv Trident Abyss.. That ball is pretty strong and smooth. I would swap it for a Proton but its still good so no need yet.. maybe in 1-2 years.. but then there will be something even crazier from storm like always.. :D
You guys make the most informative and entertaining ball reviews. Great job. Opportunity is showing what the balls roll like for the average Joe 200-300 rev player. We all can't pitch it as good as you guys, except for Barko - LOL.
Most hooking ball Ive ever thrown is probably going to be the Jackal Carnage. I was just soo far left of everyone else on the fresh out of the bag BUUUUUUT we all know what happened to that thing. Side note... I just started throwing the Omega and that thing has been soo good.
Most hook I have in the bag is a Brunswick Power Groove pearl in green and purple. Hooks like a hockey stick any time it catches a dry spot. My PSO didn't believe me until he saw it, and he didnt get to see me pour the coals. On a short pattern it wouldn't ever see the pins without sending it dead straight.
Great video Jungo. Haven't bowled for two weeks, sick. Biggest hooking balls UFO, Rubicon and Pro-Motion. Used to have a Vivid until it cracked. It hooked nicely. Considered the Omega Crux, but opted for the Electrify Hybrid and Tropical Surge for drier conditions. That RST works really well for you...
The RST's backend snap is already scary on a hybrid, its gonna be something to see what angle degree it will have when they make a pearl version. It might be unplayable on house shots
My most hook ball is my newest one. Just added the Hammer Redmetion Hybrid to my bag and bowled my career high of a 257. I also have a Brunswick Rhino and an old Mo Rich Pioneer and then a Columbia 300 WD as my spare ball.
The most hooking ball I’ve ever thrown was the storm anarchy drilled max. Also used it to lead me to my only ever first place tournament finish. Loved that ball and the virtual gravity so much
Truly excellent review! The most hooking ball I have ever thrown and still own is the Visionary Midnight Scorcher Asymmetric Particle Urethane. Ball is 320 grit. The particles are made out of the same material as tires. It just grips the lane immediately through the heaviest oil on any pattern no matter how long. It has surprising continuation which gives it incredible hitting power. It also carries the light hit because it digs in so hard it won't deflect. No resin ball I have ever tried is as strong.
@@jrproshop I had a chance to interview the creator of the Midnight Scorcher, Jason Wonders of the Wonders of Faball. He and his team were the creators of the original Hammer balls, Blue, Burgundy etc. that changed the face of bowling in the 80's. I invite you to read my interview with him about the Midnight Scorcher here: www.ballreviews.com/visionary/interview-with-jason-wonders-on-the-'midnight-scorcher'/
a sanded original pink hammer, the ball was so good until i got stupid and said "i wonder what would happen if i sanded this ball", it just never made it to the pins after that, polish helped but it was never the same.
The most hooking ball I own is the astrophysix. I haven't bought much crazy equipment. I bought a dv8 pitbull growl once a long time back just to try the brand but it was all tires and no engine so even in the oil it would burn up too soon so I never got any "hook" out of it. Plus it lane shined by like frame 5. It was also drilled bad.
Low speed, high rev casual bowler here. Really tough for me to control high end equipment. Think my biggest hooking ball ever may have been the Storm Erase-It almost 20 years ago now
the most hook of a ball but it was before i knew that more hook was less and more in the middle, well the most hook ball ive ever had was probably the virtual gravity cause it was my first high performance ball, but then the Vivid was really strong and turned pretty quick off the dry, so i honestly would say the vivid by storm. but im definitely liking my impact by ebonite.
Brunswick's nexus hooked alot when I bowled, but I haven't been bowling for like 5 years now. Crazy seeing the new ball technology today, about to return and got a hustle wine and hyroad max
Good job guys got my Proton last night going to be sweet threw a few on burn can't wait to see it on fresh. Thanks Jordan showing those inside lines im fourth dot to three or four boards left of fifth dot. Good information. 😄
First time I comment on one of your videos. I believe you guys are doing a great job. Jungo is a very pleasant presenter. I am an educator, so I see him with the eyes of a teacher. My only suggestion: I have problems seeing the arrows when Jungo is throwing the ball in this video. That is important for me. Maybe playing with the camera angle or light could improve the image. Just a suggestion. Have a good one.
The strongest ball, and one of my all time favorites, in my bag currently is the Halo Pearl. Super strong with good length, controllable angle at the breakpoint and great continuation through the pins. Even when the lanes start to break down, I can swing the entire lane with this thing during my sport shot league. To me personally, it's one of the best balls Roto Grip ever produced. I've always leaned towards strong pearls because I have a higher ball speed and rev rate, so I can "float" the ball down the lane through the fronts, without needing that earlier traction. I've always prefered that sharper motion off of the friction. Solid Asyms and I don't usually get along that well I get too much over/under reaction. I do have the Halo Solid too, but that's strictly for longer tournament patterns, because that thing is VERY strong. Regardless, this ball still looks really good.
I want this ball so bad, i got into bowling about 2 months ago. First ball i got the Rhino because of yalls review. Was a great started ball and got me really into bowling. So i just got the storm axiom solid (again because of yall) and i love that thing, its so so so good!! I want to add the proton soon, my first 3 ball arsenal i want it to be the axiom, hyroad pearl and fast pitch
Well if you wanted to know what the best hooking ball is for me unfortunately it is not a storm it was the original blue hammer then I threw between 1990 and 1996. And depending on the ball speed I could almost stand on the left gutter throw it towards the right and have it hit just the seven pin or I could stand over all the way to the right throw it to the left and hit the 10 pin. Most people are saying now that my blue hammer isn’t anything more than just a spare pick up ball
It looks remarkably like the crux prime, just looks like the core rolls over at a different part of the lane. Might just be the colors tricking my eye but 🤷🏻♂️
Great vid, however my problem with you high rev players is, you’re normal rev, league player, aka me, with a rev rate around 310, it’s hard to base a ball decision on you reving the daylights out of it.
Mine was probably the Vertigo (03ish, I think), or the Virtual Gravity. Both Storm balls. Icon 2 was pretty ridiculous, that was Columbia 300. Uh... also the original black Chaos. I had to stop bowling in 2012 due to injury, so the last ball i ever owned was the Gravity Nano.
Used to be a three nights a week league bowler in my early 20s. I remember that for about 18 months you'd have ten total bowlers a pair and almost every ball return would have at least six virtual gravitys on them. The day I got mine (six months late) felt like Christmas
It's funny, I didn't really like the Crux Prime, especially after it got de-oiled. Maybe the Spec coverstock had something to do with that(?) Do you think the NEX cover will hold up better? I'm a low rev/speed dominant bowler (215/16.5 mph). Maybe the RST X-1 is a better choice? I have, and love, the Rubicon.
Biggest "hooking" is hard to answer. Strongest ball? Crux Prime starts early and digs but doesn't cover many boards left to right . Covered most boards? Hy-Road Pearl never failed me late in a block with friction right.
I'm getting back into bowling after a long break, and I bought a Proton PhysiX after using Storm's Matchmaker tool. I've only bowled a couple of games so far, but it grips the lane better than my old 90's Power Torq (which is all I have to go off of at the moment), but not as much as I was expecting. I had my ball drilled with a 4 x 4 x 1 pattern (my PAP is 5.5" --> and 3/8" down). Watching this video got me wondering if a 4 x 4 x 1 pattern, for example, would yield similar action for any given bowler considering different PAPs if using the same ball, or do different PAPs affect how a ball reacts assuming the same layout is drilled....? I don't remember anyone talking about PAPs, axis tilt, etc., back in the 90's, so I guess I'm playing catch up.
You definitely have me leaning towards the rst, I bowl league with maybe one tournament a year wouldn't be worth having a proton. Biggest hooking ball, my hyper cell fused. Never owned any asym solids before
My bigger hook ball is jackal ghost and i love it... but i want a little bit more.. what do you recommend? Proton? Crux prime? I think a really like proton..
Good morning I would like to know what are your layouts for the omega crux the RST and the proton Physix. I will be using them for league and its pretty much a house shot. And some tournaments
I have a Colombia savage that is a goddamn monster. I very rarely find a pattern that is enough volume for that ball. Thing has snow chains on it. Also, please keep trotting out barks... we throw it almost exactly the same, so If it looks like crap for him, I certainly am not gonna like it
