This Is The STRONGEST Pearl Ball Of All Time | Roto Grip Exotic Gem 

As a pro shop operator, ive been telling people for years that the brighter pigment balls seemed to always hook sooner and thats why i always threw darker balls. they all thought i was crazy. im glad it wasnt just me

What a great video, guys. I love the little clip of Jessie's son bowling so awesome. I can't wait to bowl with my new gem, but dang, this exotic looks fantastic. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

I second that. Topography is a huge thing I learned about it in college. If it was provided at tournaments, we studied it every time we moved pairs and at out home center as well

Thank you for making a video on just this ball alone! I need this ball asap it's absolutely crazy!

Happy thanksgiving brotha

I cannot tell you how aggressive the exotic gem is. I’m 15 boards left of where I normally am because of how strong the backend is. Mind you, I generally use a sidewinder or a grudge pearl. This ball is INSANE!

Happy Thanksgiving Darren.

Happy Thanksgiving Darren Jesse and Familirs!

How crazy as I just said last night “I need a really strong Pearl”

YEAH BOIIII HAPPY THANKS GIVINGGGG

Another great video. So many ball options out there now.

Looking forward to trying this ball in the near future. Keep up the great game!!

I can’t wait to get my hands on an rst x3. I really liked the defiant soul. If a hybrid version of the gym comes out, I’d be very interested in that as well. Ball prices are getting a little crazy these days.

This really is the strongest pearl on the market and really looks phenomenal!

I have the gem. Its an amazing ball. I used to be a very down and in bowler. But since that ball I've thrown more outside than i used to. Stand a little further left. Its helped my game alot. Love that ball.

I love the videos Keep up the good work

The ball reminds me of the Haywire... Looks great!

It amazes me how many new bowling balls come out on the market. Seems like one every week. I see some people with 10-15 balls in their arsenal if not more. Back in the day I would use my plastic Carmel white dot as my strike ball and spare ball. Then I decided to get crazy and purchase a yellow dot. Of course it had to be the bleeder. Lol

I take it back on Exotic Gem. On your contest, I'm been putting in the Roto Grip Gem for ball I want. I'm actually looking to get a strong bowling ball for my next ball; however the Exotic Gem looks impressive.

That is a wild looking ball for sure!

The sound one strikes are so satisfying.

Happy thanksgiving!

The colors remind me of a cross between the Defiant Soul and the Haywire. It's really pretty.

Yeah, when I was at Vincennes in the early 2000s, Kegel came by and said topography is the highest weighted variable by far.

Love the content!

Great video!! When do the ball giveaways start??

I'm still throwing a wrecker and an asylum. Both still work flawlessly. Shot some big games with them recently in league and tournaments.

great vid as always, can you please do a league night using only the Fate?

1000th like, baby! Great video. This ball looks insane!

Nice to see Mr.220 in the back

Cool video talk tech bowling Darren tang

Happy Thanksgiving!

Darren: I don’t create a lot of rev rate. Me: *You can time my rev rate with a sundial.*

The cover designators of pearl, solid and hybrid don’t matter anymore.

great review, when you will be checking out the new urethane 900 global zen u? edit: just realized you threw it in a vid 3 weeks ago💀

Is there a certain ball you would prefer that is a decent price for heavier conditions?

was looking at the new hammer 3d offset attack recently for a strong asym pearl ball, but as a storm fan this ball looks intriguing too. I wonder how they compare

Man I want this ball! I barely hook the ball at all but this seems to hook and go through the pins even better than the gym. Im currently bowling with the Proton PhysiX but im going to need a lighter ball

I went to tryout day where I am. Didn't completely find the exotic gem for me. Top ones for me on just a house shot, reality check and zen u just had the back end movement I liked. Phaze 5 was cool but I am not good enough to roll it the way it needs. Fate was great just a bit stronger than I need. Rolled the X3 again just didn't have the backend motion I liked. After talking to rep there and pro shop. I have a low rev rate and I want a ball to do more work for me. I chose the Reality check.

So does lofting create permanent changes in lane topography?

Happy thanksgiving! Would the exotic gem be a better option on the fresh or when the lanes start to transition?

I LOVE NEW BALLS!!!!

Looks amazing!, Making hard decisions now phase v or Gem or Exotic gem ball now, None in Australia where i'm at :(

Would having the gem and exotic gem be good to have in ur bag at same time?

FREE BOWLING BALL LET'S GO DARREN!!

Black Widow 3 vs exotic gem… how different are they and would you use both ?

I recently got an exotic gem it was someone elses that my proshop operator re drilled for me naturally it was dull but that was perfect i love the ball i have the ball weaker than what i usually have and its still my strongest ball i have (sorry i dont know the exact numbers)

So if it is that strong. It is probably not good for house shots right?

Defiant soul is the goat. Still in my bag too

What is the comparison between the Gem, exotic gem, and magic gem?

Is this a good first ball?

Do you think any of those are stronger than Super Nova

What frame rate do you film in? It looks stuttery

How does this compare to the Infinite Physix?

Where would this be compared to the infinite physix and super nova

It's so strong it rolls like a solid!

Ik there not even comparable but please compare the exotic gem vs iron forge

Using the gem in league has brought my average up..I'm going to get the exotic too

what is your rev rate?

Color scheme looks similar to the halo vision

Can't wait to throw the one you give me in your ball giveaway lol

I can't wait to possibly win a bowling ball

The ball is coming out December 9 not December 14

Hi @Darren

how much does the ball weigh ?

Hybrid is out overseas. Too bad you can't use those on PBA (I don't think) or could get one on bowlersasylum.

Thanks Darren you are so kind and my favourite youtuber and I bowl in tournaments as well my name is sebastian and I hope to meet you some day

I see no reason for you to be jealous of high-rev bowlers. You have a classic great-looking style!

I miss the altered :(

Thinking about snatching that Exotic Gem for house. We get flooded sometimes

I want the gem and exotic gem but I know I’m not good enough to use them correctly yet

did you really just say, i don't create a lot of rev rate? damn :D. I think 400 is quite nice, wish i could create that amount of revs :D

Seems cool

Hello, I currently throw a show off 15lb ball. I need some help deciding between this ball, proton physics, or a black widow in 16lb. I throw around 15 mph and start on right side with medium curve. Not sure which ball to buy. Thanks

this ball is the new 🥜

Layout??

I don’t need it, but I want it!

Why not use this in tournaments?

I want to build a storm arsenal. I already have the Dark Code. What other Storm balls should I get?

What’s banned?

In the bag.

When is the 100 ball giveaway

How is it vs. a Hyroad Pearl?

Compared to the Gem, how many more or less boards does the exotic coved?

Just me or does that Ball look big? Looks huge lol

Just like the ball u game lance and didn't tell him trend 2 can't use it in a usbc league! my old bowling partner had to give it back to storm for the rstx2

Looks like my quantum evo pearl downlane

Come on Darren any ball can hook when the lanes are dry why didn’t you oil at least one lane so we can see what it does in the oil

🔥🔥

Great video, please go up the 10-15 arrows more in your vids, some don’t care about hooking the whole lane.

Dec 9th

What layout did you use on the Exotic Gem??

What is your layout for the Exotic Gem ?5x5x2/12

Ball do a lot of da hooky

I love my exotic gem.

I love storm, but I have had 5 ball crack all he way around, call storm they said to send pitchers, I did no one responded back, I bought about 20 ball the older balls are just fine ,that one 1000.00 down the drain,people told me that air git under the ball when I have them on my table drys the ball out and it expands and cracks,they said storm only replacement for a year, its mostly new coverstocts that are cracking,out of dictator sunlight same tempture. I'm afrade to buy any more balls from storm so do I need to keep 8n a bag?are not they dried when I buy them or did I git bad mix,,need some help here, pro shop said storm want do anything to make it right.

I got Akinator to guess you

Whats your layout?

Probably one of the best looking balls you threw in league for the shape. Do you agree?

Ask Ryan Barnes he real good
