These Are The BEST Bowling Balls Released In 2023! | Storm/Roto Grip/900 Global Tier List 

I enjoy how honest you are about the bowling balls you throw and don’t go based on hype of the balls themselves. I base my purchases off of your reviews because of that honesty.

Love these types of vids DTang. Thanks for sharing. Keep em coming!

Great video Darren! I like your Tier List videos after the new releases so we can get your opinions on the pieces after the initial new ball reviews.

Love these lists. Keep em coming! Looking forward to the next one!

Thanks for the information on new equipment Darren. Off to the lanes.

I just bought a clone today. It seemed to work really well for me when I tested it out. Just goes to show that everyone is unique with their arsenal and how they throw the ball. Fantastic video as always!!! Next video should be your 3 and 6 ball arsenals for house shot leagues and sport shot leagues.

Love these videos Darren. Very helpful information.

Loving watching all the videos you post keep up the great work DTang

Hi Darren! Thank you for all your videos! I bought the phase 5 because of your review. I am going to be releasing the next episode of my podcast and did it on my bowling league. Thanks for all the tips and help! I have spina bifida and wear leg braces. But i love to bowl.

Hope you are doing well. Love the videos and the feed back on bowling balls.

Great content Darren. Thanks !

Appreciate all the content. Great info 🙏🏾

Hey Darren. Great tier vid. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Have been looking for a new symm ball. The IQ Tour Ruby was high on my list along with the Zen Gold Label. Since I couldn't decide today, I bought a "Nut" hat instead. Love your videos...always the best advice for my game. Thank you.

This is just a brilliant breakdown DTANG! Of course it’s subjective…of course all balls aren’t meant for all bowlers…but it’s nice to see a tight review as the season is starting…something(s) to add to the wish list! Keep staying strong and working healthy!

Love these vids. Thank you Dtang

Been waiting for a tier list vid again. Let’s goooo

This was exactly the ball video I needed haha I’m currently rearranging my 6b arsenal and I was conflicted cause my main arsenal consists of DNA,absolute, revenant, tnt, purple hammer urethane, and spare ball then on the bench I have a (hustle rip and iQ ruby) I was looking for something from the newer line of balls currently out to Kinda fit between the revenant and DNA this video gave me some clarity thank you!

Got my Blackout on preorder! Can’t wait to see it in action. Great video bro!

Love these type of videos. Idea….maybe examples of potential arsenals for lower speed / rev, high rev/speed, strokers, crankers, etc.

great comment on strategy to use different core styles in the bag instead of duplicating in a series, so that multiple balls aren't out of play in a center at a time. had never processed that and my bag has been 2-3 balls with same cores for so long it now explains a lot that if I'm not scoring, it's probably an equipment line not matching up to conditions and covers don't change that. glad I just revamped my arsenal to change up the core styles and get some better roll variation between ball changes.

two different tiers, league and tournament (sport). List seems pretty spot on except I think you did the Clone dirty LOL. But that's my opinion. Mine hasn't left my bag since I got it. Keep up the awesome work DTang!

Great video of all those balls, thanks for giving your honest professional opinion on each one

So glad this came out before I chose my hybrid ball. Also, what’s the process for pro V am? I’ll be in Vegas next month for a tournament through my local center.

I can’t wait. I preordered the virtual gravity blackout. Looks like a great ball!

Good video Will look into the xponent/ZGL/Tour Dynam-x range for my third ball

I think a breakdown video of different approach and release would be cool, like difficulty of learning, ease of growth, potential? Eg the standard one hand approach into suitcase/handshake release, the two handed, the cagle

love your vids darren! i dont live in vegas but if im ever there id be so down to do a pro v am

Great video Darren. Could you throw more of the Absolute in your league videos.

I throw an Electrify G/O as my burnt up ball. I bowl in a center with wood lanes and no knowledge on oil really and the G/O holds up. So for it’s price range I think it’s a great beginner ball or something to get if you’re bowling on bad conditions!

I like The placement of the bowling balls in your tier. i’m about to have knee surgery next month. After I heal up, I will definitely make my way up to see you in Vegas.

Just ordered the IQ Ruby because of your videos. Keen to try it out when it arrives!

I just bought a Revenant for closeout price, and wow it shocked me, so strong off the end of the pattern and crazy carry. I took the shine off a touch.

Im glad the !Q Tour Ruby is in the NUT category. I threw it before but is wasn't mine but I still liked it. Now that I have my own im excited to throw it see how it rolls for me. Sadly i currently can't because of the cast on my hand and thumb.

I would really like to see which balls you would roll in league play only. Even it’s just top 3-4 balls. I really enjoy your videos , ball reviews an instructional videos! Plus make it to the TV shows!

That Hawaiian hook Schofield trophy on the back 💪🏽🤙🏽 Mahalo for the content

Hi Darren - I have a question. I use the Tropical Surge ball and would like to know what is the next step up in bowling balls for me to consider buying? I bowl in medium condition oily league lanes. Thanks

Love when you cover what the ball and are made for.

Hey Darren, love your channel. Have a question. Do you have a ball recommendation for my style. Right handed. Stand at 15, throw out to 5, 17mph, low rev. 200 average in league. Looking for a new league ball. Only ball I have is the Storm Nova. Thanks!

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the Hyroad Flash when you get one

Trying to figure out a good 2nd ball to compliment the Hy road OG I have currently. Thinking asymmetrical since Hyroad is a symmetrical. For the average bowler is the eternity or exotic gem a good option?

just used the eternity in league big tank on the fresh oil rolled a 171 average first 3 games

hey Darren I was wondering if you tried the Hammer Vibe Balls (Ocean and Radioactive) very curious on your thoughts if you have thrown these 2.

I’ve got the Summit and love it. I’ve been eyeing the IQ Ruby for a minute, but I don’t feel I bowl enough to constitute having multiple high end balls. Am I being too cheap?

I'm just getting into bowling, and bought a tropical surge equivalent being the rhino series. Should my next investment being a better storm reactive ball or should I invest in a spare ball like an ice?

Loved the breakdown. But one thing I would be interested in…..you mentioned 6 ball arsenal to take in the bowl to start. So I would assume the 6 balls would come from the Nut and Rice Bowl balls. But one final thing to make the video better would be taking the balls from those list and build that actual 6 if those two lists have more than 6 balls combined.

Darren let me ask your opinion im a two finger onr handed righty my absolute favorite ball is Dark code Its my go to on about any pattern I can surface up or down and it shapes perfect for me but in your opinon what is a good ball that shapes about the same and hooks about the same?

Suggestion for future league night videos. Just keep rotating through the new lines with 3 ball arsenal combinations, like Eternity PI, Summit, ZGL, then Blackout, Clone, Hustle... etc

Is this in 4K. The video quality seems CRISPER than usual. Alright. I am ready to get into this video. Exciting!

So I’m a 2 hander would it be wrong of me to have both virtual energy blackout and iq Ruby ? The VE just looks so nice and I want to try it out

Absolutely love your channel. Do you not review Hammer balls? The last two videos I was hoping to see where you place the ghost pearl and the hybrid 2.0 but neither of them were mentioned.

I have a serious question do you know a very good bowling ball that has less hook because I keep getting brookies with the venom and the widow

Hey Darren, just curious but what weight of bowling ball do you throw. I have a 13lb spare ball, my main ball I throw right now is 14lbs, and my newest ball is the Infinity at 16lbs.

Drill an Electrify BSY and a Hustle RIP with a VERY strong layout. 3-3.5 in pin. You are going to LOVE them. No need to thank me.

Glad most of my league bag made it to the staple or nut category. Summit, eternity, & Ruby have been great. Just recently got the clone to bridge the gap between my reality and summit. Just got the clone and it’s rolling really nice so far. Looking forward to grabbing a tour dynamix in the future for those short patterns

Darren. I want to stop buy your shop at the Golf Coast and get fitted and drilled for a Storm that will fit my game. That red ball peaked my interest.

What about raw hammer the red one hybrid,I’m planing to get it I’m 10 yo 9mph gonna get it with inserts and two fingers and I bowl 2 handed. Do you think it’s good for me?

Just Picked up a UFO alert NIB. Any tips on layouts to maximize it as a house shot killer Darren?

Cool video talk tech bowling bowling ball Darren tang

Quick question, and it’s an opinion question….original axiom or TNT for house shot tournament conditions?

As a beginner, should I get a Storm IQ Ruby or a Hammer Black Widow Hybrid 2.0?

Thanks for the video! As for ideas, it'll be nice if you gave a price or price range for the balls at the time of this video. Most people know that the prices will increase overtime, but it'll be nice to have an idea of how much 1 ball cost vs another. It'll also be nice to see the price to rank correlation.

I’m curious how good is a Electrified B54 pearl? This is the 2nd ball I’m getting I’ve only been bowling for a year

Im 29 years old and I started bowling "seriously" (studying, doing some drills, practicing 2 times a week at least, joining a league) 1 year ago. I now average 170 without any in person coaching. My questions to you Darren (my name is also Darren 😅) or any fellow bowlers is that good progession for 1 year, and what advice do you have to become a 200 avg bowler?

Tier lists are great. Something to make them a little better is explaining practically/use on typical shots you may see at league or house shots.

What can i do to keep my foot straight at the foul line im always turning it sideways

Can you please do a tier list of the best balls to use for college? Season is about to start so I think it'd be cool to see your thoughts.

Hey mister tang where will you put the black widow 2.0 hybrid ??

How do you know when to change your grip? And how do you figure out what to do?

We’re should you buy your ball. At the shop? Or online?

For me so far the summit has been a top ball for me, I’m thinking of a few balls to get but still holding out to see what my 2nd house throws out this year

What did you think of the nova with the green?

Interesting placements as usual, Darren. If I were to give the Xponent a stronger layout, would it read in roughly the same area as a phaze 2? My current benchmark piece is too smooth, and I wanted something with a tad more pop but still controllable, but I don't like the Phaze 2. Tbis Xponent seems to be what I've been missing, but I want it to be almost like a Phaze 2 lite.

Darren is the best bowl reviewer on the internet...bar none!

How about doing a quick lesson on core type and what each is good for.

can you do a tier list of lane patterns you bowled on?

more tier lists darren your best work

I just started my third season of league yesterday and I used the hammer redemption hybrid and I bowled 274 game 1 232 game 2 and 217 game 3 finally bowled my first 700 series total 723

What does the tape on your arm do for you ?

I get the "I hate League" merch. But, leagues are what keep bowing alleys in business.

would you choose a Hustle m-m or IQ Ruby?

Can you do a video on pyramid path bowling ball Brunswick's Rhino bowling balls

Usually how many lbs you throw as one-hand style?

Curious about Eternity Envy? If it can Replace Eternity Pi?

Hey Darren can you compare Track Paragon pearl and Storm Summit im on the fence T.T

Tour DX stronger than a Hustle USA? More Tournament ball over league? Love these vids!

Hey I thought the Roto Grip spare ball is urethane. Not plastic?

When your ball hits the pocket with such force that all the pins are sucked off the deck, it's called a "hoover ball" 😂

Xponent should be in the nut category off of what I have seen from everyone around me. That ball just knows how to strike I swear.

What would be a good replacement for storm crux prime?

maybe if you did a tier list that focused more on usage? like best "fresh/benchmark balls", "transition balls", "for the cliff" etc?

Maybe a bowling alley tier list from the bowling alleys you bowl at from tour

Since they're in the same tier, between the pi and eternity, which would y'all go for?

Rocking a duo right now. Any suggestions on another ball that would pair well? Looking for a first ball out the bag option.

What about the black widow 2.0 hybrid and dv8 troublemaker?

Have you tried the DV8 Hellcat?

anyone know how to get into a league ? just started and am wanting to expand my knowledge.

You should make a ball video of just the eye category to just to settle if they belong higher or not =)

Eternity, Phaze 2, Fate...Mindset (I know, "B" word bad.) My PBA experience line-up. I have yet to find an asym solid from SPI that I match up with. I have not thrown the PI yet. My guess is that it will work fine as I have the first one. I only hope that it has more versatility than the Eternity.

Do you have a tier list listed out?
