Vibe needs to go in the bag the versatility is teally there

[@badbadbowling101]

I couldn’t agree more!! It’s going to sound crazy, but I think this is my favorite ball.

[@KoolBell4AU]

Love the comparison. The Road looked outmatched from the right and through most of the center zones. Only once you moved left and really slowed down did the Road look impressive. Without hesitation, I would take the Vibe and smile all the way to the bank!

[@badbadbowling101]

Like your opinion on both balls, and I also liked the way you trusted your eyes. 💪🏽

[@BillyScott-sr1nx]

Thanks for this comparison video! Im taking the Vibe all day. Keep em coming!

[@badbadbowling101]

Why did you decide to go with the vibe? What did you see

[@BillyScott-sr1nx]

@badbadbowling101 Well besides the cheaper price, it just looks like a better ball overall in my opinion. And that is no knock on the Road, I throw all brands.

@badbadbowling101 it was splitting the 89 when it was leaving the deck, no deflection. And when it was hitting light, it still struck. Love the shape.

[@badbadbowling101]

@@bjt107 man that’s a really great answer!! Way to pay attention 👏🏽💪🏾

[@machinethesun9243]

I'll take the Road nobody wants. It holds the line when too much belly leaves 10 pins. Yet, if you do happen to get it too far out to the ditch, it doesn't over react to the friction. And it drives thru the pins. Yes please. Send it to me 😀

[@badbadbowling101]

Who knows you might just get your wish

[@machinethesun9243]

@@badbadbowling101 haha, lol. Stu Williams just trashed it too, and put it in the niche slot. I'm a woman bowler, with revs but slower speed, so I'm drawn to this ball because it holds its line, without bellying out too much. Thanks for the video! Arctic looks good too!

That’s awesome and you will enjoy it! Just remember to match the surface to the shot your bowling on.

Yer mine will stay as the surface it is I have a ball for every thing now I have the purple hammer The arctic vibe The hazmat Black widow 3.0 And spear ball job done 👍

@@davidmalkinson2128 yeah my good brother that’s a nice bag

[@davidmalkinson2128]

Thanks and I was an all storm before but I saw how lazy the ball recovery was for me not saying it’s every but I then saw people in my league useing hammer equipment and haveing a stronger finish and seams to hit the pins harder and I think when u need to bowl away form the pocket the only brand I would have trust to make it back to the pocket and not leave me a flat 10 is hammer equipment I have loved my equipment yes I only got back into bowling after a 7 year break and bin back like 5 months but I can see how much stronger hammer balls hit the pins and go thou the pins better and if u have to bowl away from. The pocket the ball finishes the circle and splits ten 8 9 pin as it should where I found storm to be very lazy in trying to do the same thing and with a bigger price tag but everyone is different. But this is my opinion and #nothinghitslikeahammer🔨

[@badbadbowling101]

@@davidmalkinson2128 I really like how you see the game, and your mindset. As for me it’s about surface really, and how I want the ball to finish through the pins. When I’m bowling I’m looking for certain way the ball gets through the pin is what’s important to me. It tells me when and how I need to move to keep carrying the 10 pin. I use a ton of Brunswick stuff, but also Hammer stuff as well.

I would take the vibe, shapes sooner on the lane. Looks like it would be more usable on more conditions than the road. I'd leave the road on the proshop wall and let it collect dust.

[@badbadbowling101]

I like what your eyes told you great job 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@SuperGlenn1966]

I’m gonna make you an offer you can’t refuse. Put the vibe in your bag.

[@badbadbowling101]

Why is that an offer I can’t refuse

[@SuperGlenn1966]

@@badbadbowling101 The vibe reacted well even when you went further left. It reads the lane well and is consistent. Also you pretty much know what the ball is going to do as soon as you release it. It is also forgiving. You had a couple of shots where the ball made you look good, for example when you threw it Brooklyn. I don’t think you could ask more from a ball be it a 200 dollar ball or 100 dollar ball. Balls like the vibe are rare. I have a lot of high dollar equipment and just got my vibe yesterday. I’ve thrown 3 games on it so far. It has a ton of potential from what I can see. I can’t wait to see what it does tonight in league play. So in short keep the vibe and don’t look back. Glenn

[@badbadbowling101]

@@SuperGlenn1966 I like your outlook!! My sports shot bag and league bags are so different it’s like two different planets. However I have both in my sports shot bag believe it or not.

[@richardgandia5700]

I watch all your videos and enjoy them yet if you are going to compare any balls symmetrical or asymmetrical they both should have the same layouts for an even comparison. If I’m buying a ball based off of your video it’s not a true comparison. Regardless that the Vibe is a great buy for the money I’ve shot two honor scores using the Road only I seen a friend do the same with the Vibe

[@badbadbowling101]

I agree with you that why I have the pin up and pin down version of the road. Well let me clarify, and say I had both versions. I’m not a fan of the ball pin up or down, however I’m not saying it’s not a quality ball. Now that I’m bowling 2 handed I love it as a 2 hander.

[@larrytripp3412]

Why we can’t vibe while we are on the road they both look good it’s just all on what your budget is and if you are using it on a house shot or sport shot

[@badbadbowling101]

That’s a very fair assessment however if you’re going to tournament bowl do you think you would want both in your bag?

[@larrytripp3412]

That is a good question coach C and it would probably be a no

[@thomasclifton3051]

They both look good though

[@badbadbowling101]

I think both did look good yes.. I think one was just more consistent than the other.

[@IIIICoryIIII]

@@badbadbowling101 Coach C, it's the fact I can save a Franklin on the Artic Vibe. I know The Road is a stronger ball, but I don't always need a stronger ball. The Artic fits the budget and has plenty of performance to get the job done on most conditions. Very versatile in my opinion.

[@badbadbowling101]

@IIIICoryIIII I like your eyes, and your opinion great job!!! 👏🏽 one thing the Artic Vibe is the strong of the two balls not even close.

[@thomasclifton3051]

I think the road by storm should go in your bag. Just my thoughts

[@badbadbowling101]

Ok but why what are you seeing?

[@bert42889]

The only thing sketchy here is the complete opposite layouts that you put on these balls.. you should really let people know that you drilled the vibe as strong as possible and the road as weak as possible

I don't get along with spi brands, I throw Motiv. But I'm definitely thinking about getting a B7 brand ball to try them out.

[@badbadbowling101]

@@kellymcmanaway4069 There was a time where I only threw one brand. Now I will roll them all to be honest with you. If you throw as many as I do you will realize that there is a very small difference between them all. I’m talking the smallest differences!! However HK22 has changed the game by widening that gap a little wider. I think HK22 separated Brunswick from the other lines other than SPI. I think SPI had a jump over all brands now Brunswick has caught SPI. Even putting scents on balls now 🤦🏽‍♂️. Motiv is good, and has a couple of balls that are outstanding like the primal shock, the primal shock what else Crimson jackal And the Forge
