What I have been doing is when I KNOW that I have thrown a really good shot and the does something unexpected. Like runs up deep and maybe still strikes but I feel like I got away with one. If I've already moved left as much as I'm willing to I've got about 1.5 more speed to play with, I'll use that among others before I will actually change balls. If adjustments fail then I'll change balls

Great addition to your channel. As much as I hate to admit it, I started watching your content less after you switched to the left side as I didn’t resonate with a lefty’s or angel’s perspective on the lanes. Adding James will only enhance the channel and your content, which already was excellent! I’ll be keeping a closer eye out for your future content :)

Totally get it, and this is a big part of the reason I added him. Realistically, most bowlers are righty, and the whole world is going high rev, that's just the reality of it. No matter how well I describe things or how much information I give, seeing the ball reaction is still the most important.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS VIDEO! Almost as if you'd read my mind...i was thinking just yesterday that, as good as Angel bowls, her speed and rev rate is so slow that its hard to really imagine how a ball might look for me as a 2 handed righty. Your look was better, but of course you bowl left handed, so the introduction of the new guy is much more applicable to me, and i still have the benefit of your SUPERB analysis! Now, all that aside, i LOVE this ball transition video! Ive been looking for aomething like this and they just don't really exist. Anyway, it was just perfect. I only wish i owned more of these same balls to have it hit home even more, but even so, i know enough about them that i can compare my similar arsenal. I hope youll do more of these. Awesome!

Angel and Luke obviously have very different skillsets from me, so the way we approach transition is usually different. For me it's just "move an arrow left and hit it harder and it'll probably strike" LOL My rev rate definitely highlights ball-to-ball differences a bit more, but there's also something to be said for managing things on a more subtle level like how Luke and Angel do if that makes sense.

@jameskniffenjr.1244 2 жыл бұрын

On the dead fresh I probably would have had a strike-or-6-count (aka, great or awful) type of ball reaction. I'm not sure how much this shows through in the video but I was struggling to get my Infinite PhysiX started and my IQTS had zero chance of picking up in the right spot from the few test shots I threw before we started filming. In situations like that, I struggle to make very weak balls work well especially when there's a substantial amount of friction to the right on house shots. If I were actually bowling for score in this situation, I probably would have gone Infinite -> Zen Soul -> Nova... Infinite to create traction on the fresh (this lane was quite tight), Zen Soul to blend out the track (since the Axiom was borderline too much ball), then Nova (which is a weaker cover and stronger core from the Soul) once the Soul got a touch lazy. Bit of a up-down-sideways progression but realistically that's probably how I would have managed it if I were going for score instead of showing a more linear top-to-bottom progression if that makes sense.

Could someone explain to me what Luke means he says the axiom controls the lane "front to back"? I've learned a ton from these videos but I haven't hard this concept explained.

@LukeRosdahl Жыл бұрын

The Axiom is a stronger and more controllable ball. Instead of over skidding in oil and being too sharp on the dry, it gets enough traction in the oil to blend the lane and control the reaction better. Weaker balls can skid too far in the oil or be too sharp on the dry which makes them sensitive. Generally you want the ball to start slowing down towards the end of the lane so that it can start getting ready to make its move. Some oil patterns are designed to make this more difficult, for example having a ball overhook, and then you move inside a bit, and then all the sudden it underhooks. The Axiom gets enough traction to keep it from underhooking, while the control helps keep it from overhooking, or at least to the point that you can find a middle ground and aren't stuck with over/under ball reaction. Controlling the lane front to back means the ball can manage the stages of ball motion better because it's more in control, it's not as reactive to wet and dry. Controlling it side to side means that a ball can get back from misses right without overskidding OR rolling out, and can also hold more on misses inside. The Axiom tends to read/roll at the same length down the lane whether you're playing straighter or deeper, it starts slowing down and making the transition through the stages of ball motion better than most other balls.

Infinite: Reacta Skuff on a spinner Axiom: 3000 (factory) plus probably 8-10 games of lane shine Nova: factory plus lane shine Zen Soul: 10-15 games of lane shine on top of 4000 Zen: factory polish (this one was before the switch to 4k fast) IQTS: 2000 Hyped Pearl: 4000+lane shine So they were all pretty close for the most part. Exceptions were the Nova and ZS (I prefer them slightly shinier) and IQTS (I like it way more with surface). If I were to run the ZS with factory surface (3000 off the top of my head, I think?) then that'd get much closer to the Axiom as I was running it here. Hope that helps!

Echoing the request for a lower-rev bowler arsenal transition vid, could one also be done by a lefty, since lefties often face different transition challenges than righties? Thank you

@LukeRosdahl 2 жыл бұрын

Yes to both! There's definitely value in it because higher rev bowlers like James can just keep moving left, but that's not the best option for lower rev or straighter bowlers because they lose ball reaction and carry quick. Conversely, on the left side of the lane, we have a lot less carrydown and it doesn't behave like it does on the right side, so those videos are definitely coming!

So on my Thursday league It's a 5 game set. We bowl one game then move, then bowl 2 games then move again for the last 2. I was using my Dark code. Last game I was leaving 10 pins. I move half board right. I was through the nose. Move back to the left 10 pin again. Ugh. I was thinking I should have switched to the IQTS or even the pro motion and go straighter. What do you think Luke?

@LukeRosdahl 2 жыл бұрын

Either stay on top of the friction with something weaker or move left with something more responsive, it's unfortunately a case by case basis, this is more just to train your brain how to think and give you options to try out

I would like to see, at the end of the video, what happens if you ball back up to one of the balls at the beginning of the video. I mean i know what theoretically should happen, but I would like the see it in a video

Where do you go to find the strength of coverstocks compared to other brands? all the brand sites I look at have their own metrics for determining strength and its hard to compare through descriptions. I'm trying to build my first real arsenal around a new ball I got because I'm having a big problem with the transition. The other balls in my bag are just too weak to cover the transition from a familiar spot for me. When I start overhooking and moving left and get a tight line, if i switch to my next strongest ball, i still need to move right into an unfamiliar part of the lane. When i do move right, it takes me too long to find my line with my weaker balls. Any advice appreciated :)

You can't really find anything to compare them from brand to brand, unfortunately it's largely experience based and finding people that you hopefully trust to help you out. This is more of a find a better local bowler or talk to someone at the pro shop about getting you lined up. The bowling equipment learning curve is fairly steep and it'll be hard to figure it out yourself

@@LukeRosdahl I appreciate the reply nonetheless. I used to bowl on my pro shop guys team in league so he used to help me out, but ive moved to a small town and there's few high average bowlers out here :P apparently the tang brothers arent too far away and they do some stuff with balls, a friend told me about it so i'll give that a try when i have the time i suppose

Luke, what would be your personal 3 ball arsenal for a THS as of today?

@LukeRosdahl 2 жыл бұрын

My core 3 right now if I had to pick would be Infinite PhysiX, Pro Motion, and Hyroad, I'd take those 3 anywhere on anything and take my chances. The Cosmos seems to be somewhat similar to the Pro Motion so far, so it's been seeing a lot of time too.

With the shine knocked off and bowling on a heavy pattern, maybe. I think it's too sensitive to be that great, or at least better than something else anyway

@LukeRosdahl 2 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure, depends on what center I was bowling at, but wolf is pretty flat and short so most people bring lots of urethane, iq tours, and controllable stuff. Wolf typically doesn't really allow much variance in what you end up using

@@fopm008 yeah Luke's right. My Zen Soul and Zen are same layout and VERY similar surfaces (both shiny), and the Soul is just marginally earlier and smoother but as you can see here it's just a slight difference to the point that if I were building a 4-to-6-ball bag for league or tournament play I'd probably take one but not both.

@@fopm008 oof choosing JUST ONE... that's tough. Would almost lean towards the Nova or IQTS out of everything here. Just looking for something where I can obliterate the pocket and take my chances with pin carry. Picking just one is a very different proposition from adding to a bag that already exists though.

Great video. But I think should start with the nova and than ball down to the infinite. The core of the nova wants to start the roll early

@LukeRosdahl 2 жыл бұрын

The Infinite cover formula is much stronger though, and the Infinite core is also stronger than the Nova, so the Infinite is the stronger ball by quite a bit

@ShimWreckerEnterprises 2 жыл бұрын

The Nova does have a slightly earlier-rolling core and layout, yes... but the Infinite has a MUCH stronger cover (as Luke accurately noted) so that's the top-of-the-bag piece when I need traction and blend+tumble... the Nova as you can see is much more sensitive to oil than the Infinite so isn't a good choice as a top-of-the-bag cut-through-oil ball like what you're suggesting.
