I like the looks of this new ball . I’m going to try your tip on spreading the fingers , I too tend to squeeze it . Thank you , happy Father’s Day . Always appreciate your reviews and commentary

Awesome looking ball 🔥

JR, I have a thought about why the thumb comes off easier with the fingers spread. I believe that when the pinky is close to the ring finger, the palm is flatter on the ball, causing more angulation of the thumb. When the pinky is spread, the pinky side (ulnar side) of the palm is off the ball, and the thumb angle decreases, sort of "pre-releasing" the ball. To test this idea, keep the pinky close to the ring finger, but purposely tilt the palm to keep the ulnar side off the ball. If it still comes out easier, the thumb-to-palm angle is the difference. I think the old Don Carter glove had a pad on the ulnar (hypothenar) side, producing the same effect. Storm sells a similar item as the Power Glove Plus.

the reason for it forces u to come under the ball more creating more revs but more control cause it intern makes it straighter in away more up the back of ball

Hey JR! Try changing your thumb pitch to 1/4 back and an 1/8 towards the palm. That will solve your issue ..

That’s funny. I’ve notice the same thing when I have my fingers spread. Much better release, more revs and overall better ball roll. I am going to try tilted my fingers toward my left leg to see if I get more pop

This ball is incredible almost rolled a 300 first night in leauge

I threw this in a demo. Never missed

7:59 RANDY!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So are you adding this ball to your arsenal or is it replacing something in your arsenal (if so, which ball)?

Draw a line through the thumbhole up toward the fingers on the oval angle. I'm guessing that this line will intersect the spread pinky. ie: the spread pinky and thumb are working efficiently together to grip the ball, thus reducing grip pressure on the thumb.

Really think I am going to try your open hand because I am getting hung up a lot also😊😊

happy fathers day to you

I want this core with REX pearl on it so badly. Probably won’t do it because they still have the fate but it makes so much sense to me. Especially with the infinite physix and idol cosmos being gone

Oddly enough J.R, I started putting my pinky closer in after I saw your video about finger position and I am the opposite of you. The ball comes off my thumb smoother with my pinky closer.

How do you add the ball tracker in your videos? I'm new backnto bowling and would like robrecord myself to see my ball physics.

Im currently throwing a Brunswick vapor zone hybrid (i know its old). Looking into the summit or the mindset...thughts? I throw a draw and low rev. Asymmetrical vs symmetrical?

No matter what company today. Every ball I watch does the same reaction in mid lane and backend.

Jr being a med to low rev rate bowler would you hit with 2000 grit😅

pullin my pinky in allows me to throw a straight ball

I threw a demo missed

is the summit simlar to the zen

Just be careful spreading the pinky too far too often. That was my go-to hands position for years, and now I deal with regular strains where the pinky and wrist meet. Lately I've resorted to the pinky tuck as it takes all the pressure off of that side of the hand, and keeps me alive in 8 game blocks. 😅

Your lane side camera was out of focus, blurry and hard to see accurate ball motion.

This ball I threw a 299 game with it…..

WELL???????????????????? Is it better than the Phase II?

Im not tryna see a line on the lane anymore JR. . .

Cool tech bowling bowling ball Jr Raymond

Man they compare ever ball to the Phase 2

It’s not better then phase 2

your intro is in need of some serious updating...bowling is dying... prize money is down... integrity of bowling lanes are down... usbc as an organization is a shell of what it once was... string pins are moving in to cut costs... manufacturers are treating equipment like iphones... get the next best thing... that's not much better than what you already had... with different colors. New Bowling Balls do not make the game FRESH... more tournaments and marketing would make this game fresh... holding lanes to account for garbage maintenance of lanes for USBC sanctioned events...and more. Bowling as a sport is dying because the Lanes charged with maintaining the integrity of the sport... don't maintain the integrity of the sport. They treat the sport like a Putt-Putt Golf and Games... if you look at the charts... bowling has been on the decline for over 2 decades.

Good review 👍 Look forward to you reviewing the new Columbia 300 powercor pearl ball and the new Motiv VIP EXJ ball, I just got the new Motiv bowling ball. 👍🎳👍
