Watching Luke throw urethane is like a Panda Bear driving a car. Assuming that the Panda Bear is driving to Luke's house to take him bowling where Luke starts throwing urethane and isn't paying attention when he knocks over the Panda Bear's appetizer sampler.

My bag right now is the physix, Phaze 2, !q tour, all road, and the idol pearl. As of now I’m loving the compliments with unique shapes. It was great to see you mention them in this series as well.

This was a great series, Thank you!

Great series Luke! Keeps me learning.

Great info on the choice of a fifth ball in the bag 💼 liking the info you passed on to date! Thank You 🙏🏼 😊🙏🏼 BTW love the sport series’s collection topics...

Awesome explanation of those bowling balls, I didn't really look at the Hyroad Pearl like that as with the rest of the line up. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and knowledge with us 🎳👍

Nice choice Luke

My spare ball is a Mix I got recently. It’s not as useless as a strike ball as I thought a shiny, weak urethane would be. So far I like it for spares but I don’t know that I’ve used it on anything burnt enough to judge whether it really takes the lane condition out of the equation. I really have to get an Ink for this slot one of these days- don’t have anything there since I did a grip change.

I can pretty well get all my spares with reactive except my 10 pins

Love these videos for sport shot balls. Gonna start building an arsenal just for sport shots soon. Now my question what slot would u add in a asyemmtrical ball with a short pin layout or a symmetrical ball with a short pin layout.

how did I know that the ink was in here oh ya every one loves it

Awesome series, thank you! Are you throwing a Phaze 3 now? Where does it fit for you?

THANKS for this great video Luke! One question: In terms of the USBC pattern, did you (or would you) use a specific layout for the Ink (or the other two balls) or do you just put something close to your preferred 5x3.5x2.5 layout?

Dude, the series was awesome! Just curious, any specific reason you chose the Pitch Black over the Fever Pitch?

Great series! Would you recommend two or more Pitch Blacks balls drilled the same or similar for when one Pitch Black stops hooking during a long format sweeper?

Luke, I enjoy your videos and they are helpful to me. Thank you. You appear to have an inverted thumb release, similar to Wayne Zahn. I am a senior and finding this kind of release helpful in getting good roll and speed. Do you have any advise on this?

i am a two hander with 450 rpms and about 16,2-16,7 mph.. ^^ so i would benefit from a ball like the hyroad pearl i think.. i also throw an idol pearl but that ball gets a litte bit too flippy when the lanes starting to burn up.. I only have one 3ball bag and using a spare ball.. so i dont have much to choose from.. i usually go with my trident abyss for really oily lanes and for later games i change to the idol pearl. what would you recommend luke?? HyRoad Pearl or Hustle Ink?? I Like to play straighter angles because that minimizes my error ratio.. xD

Loved this series alot so do u think the hyroad Pearl is a better option than og hyroad

Luke I think you’d love a purple hammer. As of right now only hammer ball I own and to me it’s the best urethane on the market.

Hey luke, first off thanks for what you do for the bowling community. I have 2 house shots that play similar to what it sounds yours does. one being more sportish and one being more walled. I can’t stop throwing my pro motion but here is a good question, if you could only bring 2 balls outside pro motion that you throw more for house shot at your area which is these Keep in mind we all aren’t staffed and I have wasted my fair share on balls lol. I’m a solid junkie on balls cause the cleanness iq tour pro motion and such. I wanted to try idol pro but it kind of didn’t make sense because the pro motion I have. Also for my goto on the more sportish I have a dare devil danger still but it has run its course I was gonna replace it with a phaze 3 but still hesitant. My danger seems to be more midlane chugging could be the drill also but it seems more mid lane than most so when it sees friction it will go. Also if you mention a pearl as one of the others it won’t help me much cause I don’t get along with pearls anymore I’m opposite I used to only bowl with pearl cause my rev rate even with speed to match. Thanks in advance keep up the good work!!!

Been hearing the the hustle ink cover is now different? Any truth in that as about to get my third. Amazing ball on high friction surfaces

How would the ink compare to the hyroad x? I love my hyroad x and don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon, but it's just a thought that i've had as they seem so similar. Thanks!!

I have missed it, so what did your selections end up being in each category?

You ever try turning your slide foot in or at least square to the lane? Just an observation lol

I love this series and I'd love to see you go deeper on your thought process. Like you posted 15 choices and gave us a generic 5 bag. I'd love to know when you'd swap the Physix for an Evolve and how that would effect your choice of 2-5 etc.

When you pack for a tournament do you pack 6 balls based on the legnth of the oil pattern or do you bring the same balls to each tournament, regardless of the pattern? For example, would you bring 6 balls that work well on a long and heavy pattern even accounting for transition or would you bring some transition balls that would work on a medium pattern as the transitional balls?

Are you going to get a pitch purple from the international releases from Storm? I've seen higher rev players always carrying a purple hammer which the pitch purple looks like the same shape from what I've seen from Chad's Instagram post on it. I know from watching everyone else, having a purple hammer is quite valuable when the lanes are a complete mess and you need a ball to create shape, especially on high volume, short patterns (like the Sydney and Wolf), which give you the urethane early hook and reactive strong motion downlane.

Very informative. What would your 5 picks be for a senior bowler with a rev rate of 220? I use 14 lb. balls

Curious why you chose the pitch black over the black hammer or purple pearl hammer?

@Luke Is late length balls only for certain bowlers? I have the Hyroad, Hy-Road Pearl, IQ Tour Pearl, and a Hustle 3TP. I find myself bowling 2 dots to the left of center at times but, I am not a cranker. Are late length balls best for crankers?

I know you really loved the hectic would you rather have a hyroad pearl over the hectic ?

Probably the one big drawback as a 2H is I cant really flatten any reactive so I need plastic under the new rules. I suppose under the older one you could have chosen to drill Urethane conventional in a way it functions as a spare if you shoot 1H and as your 6th piece. Now/aug 2020 that's not reliable.

Where will the hyroad original fit

Same ink from the past or a new one?

What grit is you pitch black

"Urethane is the scourge of the earth. I hate urethane more than Jim Gaffigan hates hot pockets." .... maybe not any more?

Would u put match up pearl in that slot

What is the slowest ball to early friction that you have talked about in the essentials collection
