Columbia 300 Power Torq vs Storm Phaze 2 | In Depth Comparison by Luis Napoles

[@jkirkerx]

I can’t declare a winner here, and already have the Phase 2. Bought the Power Torq today using your link, to fill a spot for heavy short patterns. Your video offered good insight into what I can expect, and helped make my choice. Perhaps their both winners for me.

[@LuisNapoles]

I hope you end up loving it!! Thanks for the support!

[@richardgandia5700]

Zone 1 I think if you check you were a few boards left with the Power Torque than the Phase 2. Outside that they both look the same. I have to say my opinion it looks that Phase 2 may recover a little sharper down lane Zone 3

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea I’m not perfect but I’m working on getting better!

[@richardgandia5700]

@@LuisNapoles No my friend you are better than you think I really appreciate what you do and how you do . Thank you

[@tonguetwista1313]

On the versatility, you were left a few boards with the Torque, from zone 1.

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea I’m not perfect lol

[@earthwormjim7310]

I think it would be good to also do these comparisons with both at box finish. At least for a couple shots.

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea you’re right!

Messenger 7-10 at 5:11 with the phase 2, i was expecting the uh uhh hoo hoooooo. And you disappointed me Luis...😂 👍 great vid.

[@LuisNapoles]

Sorry for the messenger then 😂😂😂

[@spencermorgan4824]

Feel like the phase 2 would come into play more often, but the power torq has a nice control element to it. Curious how you would compare the HB Intensity to the Phase 2. I understand one is symmetrical and the other a low end Assym, but are they compliments or overlapping shapes?

[@LuisNapoles]

Definitely compliments to each other. No overlap today

[@sean-kristophermoment7418]

I think what saw at of the Power Torq provides the reason it is 2000 out of box. I would think if you want an honest comparison you should spilt the difference in coverstock prep. 2500 on the Phaze 2 and 2500 on the Power Torq. That way neither ball has the advantage of being at their out of box prep. I know 2500 coverstock prep would be hard or impossible to achieve but it is just a thought

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea without a scanner it’s pretty much impossible lol

[@sb632]

Me personally I'm seeing the power torque as the cleaner of the 2. I would start with the phaze II and when it was seeing the lane too soon I could switch to a power torque. Just my thoughts based on what I've seen of both balls. I think the phaze IIs best partner is the Zen.

[@LuisNapoles]

For me I’d never ever chase it in with the power Torq

[@sb632]

@@LuisNapoles I'm a lefty so I'm rarely chasing in past 3rd arrow.

[@joeanderson9267]

That phase II looks good. However, the Torq with the original 2000 finish was a beast! Hmmm.... for this test with the sanding, Phaze II.

[@LuisNapoles]

Both balls are great!

[@richardgandia5700]

I have the Power Torque from your original video review. Never through a Phase 2. Love the Power Torque but can’t play it standing left of 22 doesn’t make the turn probably because I’m a full roller with not enough hand. But right of 22-17 as you say out to the friction I’ll kill it

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea the PT from straighter is money?

[@CDee-gj6vm]

Hey Luis, I also like the cross ball manufactures comparison. If possible would like to see you compare the Phaze 2 to the Track Stealth. I'm debating between the two. Go back to the Phaze 2 or try something else like the Stealth.

[@LuisNapoles]

When I filmed this video I was a free agent I am on staff with SPI now

[@benjaminjackson2659]

I like the different ball manufacturers comparison

[@LuisNapoles]

I enjoyed them while I was a free agent!

[@philipbarton562]

I have both love them they are pin ups but drill different since I got them my average has went up alot

[@LuisNapoles]

Both great balls!

[@H47_]

Should compare it to an Idol Helios honestly. Supposed to be closer to that. :)

[@LuisNapoles]

That video drops tomorrow! Idol Helios vs Phaze 2 !

[@kellymcmanaway4069]

Phaze2

[@LuisNapoles]

I think so toooooo!

[@ahampel22]

I would vote on Phaze II as the better ball. The reaction seemed a bit more predicable. (feels comfortable or makes you feel more confident)

[@LuisNapoles]

I agree with that 100%

[@latawnniegarris3883]

Got me wanting the power torque

[@LuisNapoles]

Good ball!

[@pana6679]

I'd love to see you compathe power torq to the IQ tour solid. Please do!! Thanx!

[@LuisNapoles]

Unfortunately that can’t happen I have since signed with 900 Global so I can only do reviews and comparisons to Storm, Roto Grip and 900 Global

[@pana6679]

@@LuisNapoles congratulations on the signing! I just watched this comparison.

[@LuisNapoles]

@@pana6679 thank you! It happened about 3 months ago now! But what I will say is that the !Q tour will be weaker and smoother when compared to the Power Torq

[@cozzi67]

I have both, my Torq is drilled with a long pin - pin up , phase 4x4x2 ... the torq makes a sharp turn and is strong ... Phaze is earlier and I cant play as deep with it ... just my 2 cents

[@LuisNapoles]

If they had the same layout how do you think they would compare?

[@cozzi67]

@@LuisNapoles hard to say for sure, but the Torq really surprised me, I was expecting something similar to a phase or maybe weaker, but I tried it on a demo day and was mega impressed - kept the same drilling as the demo ball which has the pin about 3.5 inches above the bridge ... I don't usually play much further left than 3rd arrow but this ball allows me to get in really deep (for me) between 4th and 5th arrows with confidence that it will turn the corner.

[@WestCascadeRail]

Love the crossbreed stuff

[@LuisNapoles]

I enjoyed it while I was a feee agent!

[@captainatheist3644]

I love the color of that Power Torq

[@LuisNapoles]

its a pretty color just gets so dirty so fast!

[@dillinherman5700]

Power torq wins for my game. Especially if it was at out of box finish.

[@LuisNapoles]

I like the power Torq from straighter!

[@silversilentrd]

Would love to see the Helios compared to the Power Torque. Those are closer imo

[@LuisNapoles]

They aren’t close at all if I’m being honest

[@mikecurtis3694]

Looks to me the power Torq was the winner, both good but Power Torq a little better.

[@LuisNapoles]

Interesting! I had it the other way around!

[@sneedtw]

Both look great however I personally think the Phase 2 will be better with misses in the oil, That Power Torque needs friction to get into a roll, Nice comparison though.

[@LuisNapoles]

I agree with that 100%

[@300x2869]

Power Torq all day. With the phase 2 that's a common storm shape. Boomerang off the spot down lane. C300 is a versatile brand. They have different strokes for different folks. The shape is going to be a little slower which is the common c300 characteristics. Especially with a ERT cover stock. The dynamic swings and the Baller were all the same cover type, just but the same blend. All not Flippy at all. The power Torq is the most flippy of them all.

[@amleto300]

phaze 2 and boomerang off the spot - two things that have never been in the same sentence until now.

[@300x2869]

@@amleto300 the phase 2 is a lot more forward at the end of the pattern than the Power Torq in this comparison. So the core layed down a lot harder when it encountered friction creating more angle through the pins. Again, this cover on other c300 products is slower.

[@LuisNapoles]

I don’t see the Phaze 2 as flippy at all at all

[@tallcatshortdog]

@@LuisNapoles on my 2nd Phaze 2 and I can confirm not flippy at all. Never heard anyone else who has one said flippy if it was it wouldn't be a staple in the pro's bags.

[@miguelvasquez9439]

Power Torq has too much over/under reaction. Too many splits and weak 10's. I wish I hadn't purchased that ball.

[@LuisNapoles]

Ah I'm sorry about that! P2 is def the Better ball!

[@rubenconstancio382]

Phase 2 rolled better through the pins.torque reads better on the dry, early and finished on the back end.

[@LuisNapoles]

Thats a good way !

[@neooooo6127]

I dont like when people compare balls from brands with no association with each other since most people stick to one brand/family of brands

[@LuisNapoles]

Can’t satisfy anyone 😂 if I stick to one brand then they accuse me of being brand loyal and then when I don’t I get comments like this 😂😂

[@SuperJ213]

I guess this video is for the rest of us then. I have an old Power Torq sitting next to a Proton PhyisX in my Phantom bag with an Ebonite Nitro towel sitting on top (I got rid of my Nitro a long time ago, but that ball was enjoyable for me).

[@skipkopciowski7218]

Bad comparison! BB's should stay at out of box finish.
