What is a good step down from OG Hyroad? At times it's too hooky for me on THS (2 hand bowler).
@LukeRosdahl Жыл бұрын
There isn't a whole lot, not that isn't going to feel somewhat similar in strength anyway. A Hustle or Electrify is somewhat of a step down on paper, but it's not a big step down on cover and those cores are also both earlier than the Hyroad core. I wouldn't recommend dropping as far as a Tropical Surge or anything, but something like a Hustle USA once you got some games on it would at least be smoother. It's going to be stronger out of the box, but with some lane shine and like 20 games on it, then you'll have what you're after I think.

@LukeRosdahl3 жыл бұрын
The numbers are actually further off than they seem, the Hyroad is going to go a fair bit further down the lane and be sharper. They'll "hook" about the same amount but be a pretty big difference when it comes to shape.

I am a full roller and I am thinking of getting the iq tour. I tend to see my bowling ball move at the worst times once the lanes transition. I have decent “hand” but it is frustrating to see my eternal cel get down the lane only to come up high once it hits the friction. I’m thinking even maybe throwing a pearl ball may help. Any advice and or recommendations would be appreciated. Great videos by the way👍🏾

I'd like to ask a question! I put a post up on the Storm and Roto buying selling page about the Storm Marvel S. I'd like to know just how similar is it to a Phaze 2 and the IQ Tour? I had someone on there tell me that it was essentially the Phaze 2 BEFORE the Phaze 2 came out. And that it was kind of a good mid way between both the PHZ2 and the IQ Tour except just a little less versatile. Could you give me a little bit of information about it? I know you did a video on the Marvel Pearl but not one for the Marvel S. Thanks :)
@LukeRosdahl4 жыл бұрын
Yes, the Phaze 2 was kind of a replacement for it. The Marvel S shaped slightly different, but this is easily the closest you're going to get to it. I actually never had the S, that was a little before my time with Storm.
@Liquidmetal66614 жыл бұрын
@@LukeRosdahl Ahh right I see! I saw that the S has the same core as the IQ Tour so I would have guessed it would have a very similar motion to that except stronger. But I'm glad its close to the Phaze 2 though! I really wanted one but they are really expensive over here because of how popular they are. The videos I've seen on it reminds me of the Crux prime with the heavy rolling chugging motion.

Yes actually, the T is a little cleaner, slightly more defined, and more of an arc rather than the round climbing shape of the Pearl. They're identical in hook potential, but there are small shape differences. I kick 10s with the T that I ring or plack with the Pearl, but the Pearl also trips 4s that I leave with the T

Luke I like playing straight up the boards and I’m considering both of these balls. Which one would work better on a typical house shot playing straight up the boards? My comfort zone is anything 3rd arrow and right of that area. I recently drilled up a phase 3 but it’s too strong for the house I bowl in to be comfortable using it.
@petersavino38904 жыл бұрын
I’m also considering an OG hyroad drilled with a short pin. Have you ever had a drilling like that? Thanks
@LukeRosdahl4 жыл бұрын
I really don't know, it all depends on the lane surface and lane pattern and your game. Any ball on the market could do what you're asking depending on the variables, so it's quite a bit more complicated than this. Short pins for a house shot generally aren't a good idea, if that's something you have to do to make the ball reaction work, then something is wrong. Either you're using too strong of a ball, not playing the lanes right, or just need more practice to learn what's going on and what you need to do to adjust.
@petersavino38904 жыл бұрын
Luke Rosdahl my house has been putting down a shot that has been drying completely out by the 2nd game. I have equipment that is burning up and standing up. The deeper I get the weaker my game gets. I’ve tried urethane and it works great the only problem is I mess the lanes up for everyone else. I figured a weak short pin drilling would be good for that situation. Why don’t you agree with short pin on house shots? Mo pinel swears it’s better than urethane and the lane itself
@LukeRosdahl4 жыл бұрын
@@petersavino3890 It depends on the purpose, urethane is a lot better for creating carrydown and hold on tougher patterns than reactive, but short pins can create a more resin shape that can help with carry. A weak short pin is just going to give you angle issues as it's going to be more responsive to dry boards while the layout is going to also make it weaker from deep. I don't know that you necessarily need a short pin, what are you using right now that's too strong?
@petersavino38904 жыл бұрын
Luke Rosdahl I took 10 years off Bowling and just got back into it 3 months ago. A friend gave me a vapor zone solid that wasn’t drilled and I purchased a phase 3 and a purple hammer urethane. The vapor zone is too strong and stands up while the phase 3 is great for the first game middle of the 2nd game tops. I don’t have the confidence to get in any deeper than 3rd arrow because my release varies from shot to shot due to timing issues. I’ve tried the purple hammer straight up the boards and it seems to work well but I’m causing problems for teammates while doing so. I’ve never drilled anything short pin before but I’ve seen mo pinel talk about it on a video and he says he’d go short pin reactive before using urethane.
