Just a question - isn't it more correct to say that a ball with more surface hooks SOONER than a shiny ball and that both balls actually hook the same amount since it's the same ball, just the shiny ball hooks later?

Should not loft the ball

Power gloss kinda poo

Thanks for all the great videos, Merry Christmas guys! 🎄🎁🎳

I worked on this last night. I felt the difference, keeping my left arm in front as long as possible and letting it move back as my right arm moved forward in the swing. I felt the power coming from my torso, not from my right arm. My swing felt freer as well. Thanks.

Kyle beautiful can you in box me please.

how do you make ball shiny?

Should that really be "early hook | late hook" ?

How do you find bowling alleys with no one in them? Is it because you guys are pros that you get access to the bowling alley when it's normally closed to the public?

Be aware that dulling a ball only has a temporary effect. The lane friction polishes up the track nullifying the dulling.

Thanks for the video. Looks like I have some experimenting to do.

Thank you guys for this particular video!! It helped me out immensely… I was struggling with a difficult pattern Saturday during a tournament, didn’t do very well cause the lanes were so very tight. Watching this video before a tournament on Sunday, gave me a new focus and feeling…. Anyone watching this, you can implement this in your game during warm up shots, before scoring begins, and see improvements in your game!! I certainly did! I had way more consistency and was repeating shots! Ended up with a 4th place finish… which was way more than what I was hoping for! Great video and I highly recommend this to any level of bowler!

Cool video talk tech bowling ball Brad and Kyle

How do you subtract surface? I want to try taking my ball from ootb to 2000, 1000, 500 in practice but then go back "up" to ootb

I can’t wait to try this tip on Tuesday

Your teaching that the hand should be at the back of the ball but when he released it his hands is at the side of the ball. I don't understand.

The big issue with sanding a ball to 1000, 800, or 500 is that you may leave a lot of weak 10 pins because the ball will hit the pins with no energy.

A gutter ball sure hooks 🪝 lol

Is the Ion with the white font a new ball????

I always joke that the more surface the less ball (on account of the material removal). I'll be honest I have shied away from surfacing on account of feeling like I might mess up a good thing. Is there a limit or number of times using pads either higher or lower becomes the point where replacing the ball comes time?

If the ball is hooking late or not enough, why can't you just move your target in by a few feet? Slow down your shot? Move right a little? Am I missing something?

I sanded my IQ 78 with a 220 grit drywall pad and it now looks amazing!!

I heard what Brad said about 4k grit. I used to have my pso put 4k on every strong asym ball I had drilled before even rolling it. Then before a sport shot tournament/sweeper I would go with 500 on my stronger equipment. Always worked great for me.

i swear bowling just looks like the most stressful sport based on player reactions after striking

How much does being rev dominant (no thumb bowler) impact this? Often I struggle with too much hook. Would adding surface smooth out the transition or would it hook even more? I love my ion pro when it works, but sometimes it's difficult to control the pocket.

What's up with one red ion logo and one white ion logo?

I bowl on very old wooden lanes. I’ve been struggling with a typical 1000 abralon pad finish averaging 173. This past week I tossed on 3,000 and I bowled a 600 series that was a lot less work.

I would really,like to see a chart with ball speed and rev rate combos and what a solid ball would be for each combo for a league bowler…….example speed 8-10 rev low, rev high, speed 10-12 low rev, high rev, speed 12-15 rev low, rev hi..speed 15+ rev low and rev hi…….

See this is what frustrates me about bowling, or certain centers I guess I should say. Once practice starts and you throw any ball down the lane, you can not do anything to that surface because it is against USBC rules. The houses here in the south are not what people call a "house shot" in league because the weather has an affect on the shot. When it gets cold here they crank up the heat (ugh) and when its later in the evening with it being 30 degrees outside the center but inside it is 70 degrees I swear it makes the shot screwy. I think the shot is never the same even though it is a league but it is hard to decide if I want more surface or less and I don't have multiples of the same ball to where I can have one shined up and polished and the other hit with 2000 or 1000 surface. It is a struggle for real. I think that rule should be tossed and you should be allowed to change surface in practice but I know that'll never happen.

Is Kyle using Easy Slide or rosin on his thumb?

i would like a video about what characteristics different conditioners have on ball motion and transition. unfortunately here in australia low volume of ice seems to ruin every centre with balls stuck. i personally like navigate as it stays on the lane , terrain and curve is just to early , what do you find is the fun combination to really enjoy the game?

If you use the grit can you un-do it later?

Is it possible that you guys could have a video where you explained the different terms you use? Use terms like reading the lane and a lot of other different terms. I would think a lot of people would learn some more. Especially me! Lol

I have to say Brad and Kyle i enjoy all your videos, you never make a bad video.

I think it might be easier to demonstrate what the balls are doing with a white board too.

Great video but just to clarify I’m still not the best with executing! To me no matter what you’re throwing if you don’t execute, you’re not gonna get a good score but having said that after your executing well, what is most important ball change, moving your feet and or your eyes or surface or polish?

Doesn't the type of ball, symmetrical vs asymmetrical matter as well?

Yet another demonstration of why Reacta Gloss is so hated.

I’ve found that using a 2000 grit helps me control the ball on most patterns.

500 grit Jackal Ghost and 500 grit (16 pound)Purple Hammer is the key to having a really fun time!!!!

Merry Christmas!

Takes alot of practice and discipline to bowl that smooth and trust yourself that you wont roll the ball into the gutter.

Thank u

"Try moving your arm without moving your other shoulder." And this is how I discovered my hypermobility.

Wow a strike.. dont see that every day by every bowler.. jk nice shot lol

Great video thank you

I just want to get to the point where I don't wish ill will upon you for bowling 2 handed.

I noticed the cardinals banners… are you in the stl area? If so which facility is this and do you do lessons by chance?!

Life long Mets fan, and i honestly thought Peterson wasn't even a Fifth starter, and I wanted him gone, he had so many quality starts last year I actually look forward ro his starts, and he is easy to root for. I really hope he's a big part of the Mets again going into this year, and has even more success.

I appreciate your instructional videos. Thanks! QUESTION: Instead of balling down due to rolling out, can you add loft to delay the hook and store energy for a stronger finish into the pocket?
