Have you guys ever bowled on some wet Lanes, some heavy oil conditions? Well, these are my three best bowling balls that I use on those Lane conditions to improve my score and to shoot a million three hundreds.
So we're going to start with the ball that I actually have drilled the most of I've drilled six of these, and it is the one so for me we're going to call it the six, the RG and all that facts up here.
Thank you, as you can see it hooks too much too much sauce this one's not on I, didn't I, didn't turn the camera on and we're back.
I thought I didn't hit on um.
This is Paul symmetric or asymmetric.
It's going to be an asymmetric ball.
It doesn't come out of the box.
Super chalky.
However.
I have hit some with some service to make them really at the top end of my bag.
So I could throw all of these on this house shot as well as some of the sport shots with some really heavy conditions where you're struggling to get your ball to hook.
Oh, so that's definitely something that you might see on the house shot just because these are at the upper end of my bag.
They're, not going to retain a lot of energy down Lane, so you're going to see me rotating it a little more than usual.
It's just my standard little weaker layout, it's gonna a five inch pin for me for house shots.
This one is definitely going to be game one and really paying attention to game two or even the back couple frames of game one paying attention.
Is it really hooking down lane or is it kind of dying and looking like it's going to leave the seven pin or leave a corner? Pin it that's ridiculous.
This is why bowling sucks, I'm kidding I love, both I literally love them only two handers about that hit that came across at 100 miles an hour but I'm.
Looking for a hit like that, that's a that would have been a lucky break if it struck.
It was a flat seven, so I'm, looking maybe I'm gonna move two off that rotate a little more and see what happens and once those once those moves of trying to get my ball to hook more down, Lane doesn't work, then I'm, looking to switch balls and I'll show you guys what balls up next right after the shot, you saw me move in slow down and rotate it a lot more to get that back in reaction.
I'll throw one more just like that to see if it continues to hook down lane and then I'm going to switch to a little quicker, but still really big bowling ball.
It's what we call a combo move.
That's the pro move in slow down.
Add a little bit of rotation money.
Now next ball up once that one starts hitting a little flat, I'm staying asymmetrical, I'm, going really bright.
With this brutal Collision a slightly stronger layout, a little lower of a pin, this one's even a little slower than the one I might say it's not as responsive in the back end of the lane.
However, it definitely doesn't pick up quite as early as the one.
So not only is it a slight amount weaker, but it's also a little bit smoother in the back end of the lane.
This is going to be much like that other one.
It's going to be that game, one game, one and a half piece before a flat, seven, where I might need to start moving away from it and looking at maybe a quicker boat, and if you guys want to help us out, don't be afraid, like this video send us a comment down below and most importantly, if you like a lot of the videos, we do don't be afraid.
Click that subscribe button and help us run that number up to 90 000, because we're trying to give away some of these when we get to 90 000.- and this is a house that I'd like to use some of those winter balls like a purple, Hammer reactive on messenger side.
So when you guys Bowl, either a league or tournaments in a newer Center kind of like this one, where the surface is pretty new and it doesn't have a lot of games, not a lot of wear and tear these balls are definitely going to be the ones that are going to come into play, maybe even deeper than a game um, and because this one is weaker, I'm, definitely able to play I'm standing four left of where I finish with the one.
My ball speed is higher, but I'm definitely standing a little further left able to play a straighter.
I know you guys are gonna blast me in the comments, but this is a straighter angle.
With this ball, smooth balls trip, six sharp balls, six, eight simple as I wrap this ball up and I go to a quicker ball.
I want you guys to.
Let me know what asymmetric ball.
Do you guys have in your bag right now, whether it's League tournaments, whether you just bowl once a week? And it's your only ball? Let me know what ball is kind of at the top of your bag, because these three are at the top of mine, beautiful I feel like I could strike with that ball from that Angle.
Now the next ball up, as promised earlier, the Columbia 300 Cuda, the other two were a little shinier for me, throwing them this one's almost brand new.
It's going to be a symmetrical ball with a pin, almost identical to that of the brutal Collision.
This one's going to definitely be a snappier shape or a more continuous shape down Lane, where I think if I was going to move all the way right on the lane and really open the lanes up out of these three balls, this one will be the one that would continue the most down Lane and keep trying to strike once I start flat sevening.
So if I flat, seven with those two I'm coming to a ball like this Columbia 300 code, this one better, not flat.
Seven after that speech, I came foreign.
The other two have like a lane shine on them.
This one definitely has surface on it or just the original out of box surface still, I, don't know everyone keeps telling me this ball is sick.
I was going to try and incorporate it in my Arsenal, and this is my way of testing it out.
So I moved with the brutal Collision I was playing pretty straight with the one.
I was kind of deep, and this one I've moved right same spot as I finished off with the one throwing it slower, getting my hand around it and I'm gonna throw this one, even slower, to see if it still comes back, I'm going to go two and one a little slower ball speed and see if it still hooks foreign Collision.
The best of the three ball reactions.
You've had yeah I I, also like the brutal collection, the best of the three, because these the one and this Coda definitely are trying to seven pin from that deeper angle and I really think that's just a characteristic of the house.
This house likes to play hard and straight so actually, I'm gonna, try that Cuda.
Now, from that brutal Collision angle, harder straighter a little more up the back release, how does that not strike that one hooked a lot? But that was exactly what I expected because, like I said that one's going to be like the quickest or the sharpest, most continuous down, Lane so playing from a straighter angle, where there's no oil, it's obviously going to jerk off that spot.
It's going to jerk off that spot and make a hard motion not to the pocket.
You can leave that in so I'm gonna move I'm, gonna move four to the right, because, obviously, where I threw the Collision was not the answer.
So I'm gonna go four right! Keep the speed fast! That's close! That's close um! So now, because it has some surface, I am going to Loft it a little bit, which is my like pro league move that I do every game three of League I like that shape a little more than when I laid it down.
I'm just going to slow the speed down a little bit to try and get it to pick up earlier, but still not as early as when I was laying it down.
This is like the league move.
I do every single week.
This brought my game three average up from 215 last year to 2 30 this year.
When people go to League, they might not think oh I need to play Lane's front to back they're like oh they're, hooking I'm going to move in but like I did earlier, with the one when I move in I had to slow down to get it to continue continually make the right shape.
So I want to know.
What's your like natural move, when you guys Temp and do you move in, do you move right? Do you throw it harder slower? What do you guys normally do if you like, leave a corner, pin? What's your move, because mine would be to move in a little bit and slow the speed down, and if that didn't work, I would Loft it.
Foreign I mean that's exactly what I wanted to do.
I created a little more downline angle and now I'm just going to move in too so I seven pin and then I moved in and I eight pinned and now I'm going to keep moving in off that a pin, because I love down Lane motion of the three.
That is the worst ball reaction to me: yeah because of the three out of gray when you're laying it down quick, the ball's too early yeah, and then, when you get it out there with a little more speed a little more Loft.
The ball's too sharp I would probably choose this one.
After I move to and I'm going to show you I'm gonna, move two and then I'm a three bagger real quick, and that is like ideal motion for me, but like to your eyes that looks like probably too much effort.
You have the talent to make those adjustments.
It's a lot of professional bowlers do yeah, but especially a Lee.
If you can pick up a ball and and go back to your base and have a better ball reaction.
Yeah brutal Collision was like normally I like to throw it a little harder.
Keep it a little straighter.
Don't rip me in the comments.
Please keep it a little straighter, even though I'm throwing it hooking it, but that would be like the most natural release.
Natural ball motion for me, where I wouldn't have to Loft it and throw it slower and make sure I get the right hand at the bottom.
All that stuff, like this one and the one I had to trick a little bit.
The brutal Collision was like natural game, go, throw it hits the pocket and Strikes every time a pen.
This is my favorite ball reaction.
Obviously that's not the ball for right now.
It needs more oil on the land all right, so that was my little Spiel on the three best balls for some heavy or some wet oil conditions where these ones are going to come into play and they're going to come out of my bag that one it's going to be first ball out the bag that brutal Collision allows me to play my natural game and that Coda needs a little more oil than is out right here and probably a sport shot if I had to guess.
But for you guys, it's probably going to come into play.
Definitely with more of your natural game, where my rev rate kind of takes over and makes that ball break loose down Lane.
So for you guys, let me know again down below in the comments what ball either you have currently at the top of your bag or what ball you're looking forward to getting to next and until the next one.
Thank you guys for watching.
Don't forget click that subscribe button, like the video, do all that stuff that helps us out and I'll catch.
You guys on the next one peace, foreign.
