As a pro shop operator, ive been telling people for years that the brighter pigment balls seemed to always hook sooner and thats why i always threw darker balls. they all thought i was crazy. im glad it wasnt just me

[@KennyGrinols]

If you care about the science, it's because Bright Colors require a powder pigment, which you can imagine, creates a dryer, more porous, and abrasive finish. Whereas dark colors use liquid dyes, that don't add texture to the resin.

[@tackywacky99]

@@KennyGrinols sweet. Thank you

[@jimboscalawag8809]

A pso friend when i was drilling used to say the same. Black balls roll the best. And i said purple 😂🤙

[@Kidynamo123]

Oh, I thought this was just a bowling joke 😅

[@markbroad119]

What about two balls of the same name in two colors?

[@HawaiianPop]

What a great video, guys. I love the little clip of Jessie's son bowling so awesome. I can't wait to bowl with my new gem, but dang, this exotic looks fantastic. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

[@J002]

I second that. Topography is a huge thing I learned about it in college. If it was provided at tournaments, we studied it every time we moved pairs and at out home center as well

[@KwonYoungForever]

Hey Darren, I just got my exotic gem drilled. I throw kinda similar to you. My pap is 4 13/16 and up 9/16. The pro shop guy drilled my ball with 20x4 1/4x55. Is that a good layout? On heavy oil 42ft lane, standing right and slower ball speed, it has very minimal hook. Not sure if it’s me or a wrong layout. Need help

[@markm4273]

It amazes me how many new bowling balls come out on the market. Seems like one every week. I see some people with 10-15 balls in their arsenal if not more. Back in the day I would use my plastic Carmel white dot as my strike ball and spare ball. Then I decided to get crazy and purchase a yellow dot. Of course it had to be the bleeder. Lol

[@coopergates9680]

How much less did it hook after most of that sticky stuff oozed out?

[@camchild1]

I cannot tell you how aggressive the exotic gem is. I’m 15 boards left of where I normally am because of how strong the backend is. Mind you, I generally use a sidewinder or a grudge pearl. This ball is INSANE!

[@Patrick-Gacusan]

How crazy as I just said last night “I need a really strong Pearl”

[@caseygrant636]

Is this a good first ball?

[@NTP0112]

So if it is that strong. It is probably not good for house shots right?

[@ItsZeeq]

Layout??

[@kstark321]

Yeah, when I was at Vincennes in the early 2000s, Kegel came by and said topography is the highest weighted variable by far.

[@matte.613]

Happy thanksgiving brotha

[@chrisallen3671]

I can’t wait to get my hands on an rst x3. I really liked the defiant soul. If a hybrid version of the gym comes out, I’d be very interested in that as well. Ball prices are getting a little crazy these days.

[@IronMaiden756]

Darren: I don’t create a lot of rev rate. Me: *You can time my rev rate with a sundial.*

[@coopergates9680]

Can your amount of hook be measured by lining up a few human hairs?

[@ErlendBuflod]

The ball reminds me of the Haywire... Looks great!

[@EdTechGC]

Black Widow 3 vs exotic gem… how different are they and would you use both ?

[@Attemptingtospare]

I'm still throwing a wrecker and an asylum. Both still work flawlessly. Shot some big games with them recently in league and tournaments.

[@glenkamida71]

Happy Thanksgiving Darren Jesse and Familirs!

[@JSBowling2011]

The ball is coming out December 9 not December 14

[@akaNalyd]

was looking at the new hammer 3d offset attack recently for a strong asym pearl ball, but as a storm fan this ball looks intriguing too. I wonder how they compare

[@iceman5117]

There's the Polaris, innovator, and quantum evo pearl as well

[@coopergates9680]

Already have a volatility torque or parallax effect?

[@AndrewWarrenPatriotsfan]

I take it back on Exotic Gem. On your contest, I'm been putting in the Roto Grip Gem for ball I want. I'm actually looking to get a strong bowling ball for my next ball; however the Exotic Gem looks impressive.

[@thesamsquatch5224]

This really is the strongest pearl on the market and really looks phenomenal!

[@connorcorkery2855]

Looks amazing!, Making hard decisions now phase v or Gem or Exotic gem ball now, None in Australia where i'm at :(

[@jordanbrown7192]

Really depends what you have in the bag. Phase V would fit nicely with the exotic if you bowl on a pattern that burns up or cliffs fast. I could see a situation where oil is heavy and pushes a lot where I would start with exotic, then go to phase V to mellow out a bit then move back left with urethane.

[@blackjack7811]

Happy Thanksgiving Darren.

[@Dustin_93]

Thank you for making a video on just this ball alone! I need this ball asap it's absolutely crazy!

[@brenthutchins7130]

I have the gem. Its an amazing ball. I used to be a very down and in bowler. But since that ball I've thrown more outside than i used to. Stand a little further left. Its helped my game alot. Love that ball.

[@brianlopez9106]

Nice to see Mr.220 in the back

[@chawk2339]

What frame rate do you film in? It looks stuttery

[@therealhonestraider7921]

Yo Mr. Tang... Just curious if you HATE or think any Storm balls are just flat out bad? It seems you like every Storm ball that has been ever made... I know you are sponsored... but I wonder if that is the biggest factor in WHY you like these balls. Because man... some of these are just not good. More like cash grabs if you ask me. What do you think?

[@jerryalexander8803]

Color scheme looks similar to the halo vision

[@austindaman757]

What is the comparison between the Gem, exotic gem, and magic gem?

[@FredrickNorris-g7c]

I recently got an exotic gem it was someone elses that my proshop operator re drilled for me naturally it was dull but that was perfect i love the ball i have the ball weaker than what i usually have and its still my strongest ball i have (sorry i dont know the exact numbers)

[@mincastor3648]

The sound one strikes are so satisfying.

[@TemptedTrigger]

great vid as always, can you please do a league night using only the Fate?

[@nathanchaffee2466]

Is there a certain ball you would prefer that is a decent price for heavier conditions?

[@alanwarneke7100]

Would having the gem and exotic gem be good to have in ur bag at same time?

[@benh1356]

Where would this be compared to the infinite physix and super nova

[@jameslong9564]

The cover designators of pearl, solid and hybrid don’t matter anymore.

[@vincentnovak5324]

Hello, I currently throw a show off 15lb ball. I need some help deciding between this ball, proton physics, or a black widow in 16lb. I throw around 15 mph and start on right side with medium curve. Not sure which ball to buy. Thanks

[@Warden033]

Why move up to 16? You're already not that high of a ball speed. Seems foolish.

[@videll7kelly]

Do you think any of those are stronger than Super Nova

[@memyself1670]

I went to tryout day where I am. Didn't completely find the exotic gem for me. Top ones for me on just a house shot, reality check and zen u just had the back end movement I liked. Phaze 5 was cool but I am not good enough to roll it the way it needs. Fate was great just a bit stronger than I need. Rolled the X3 again just didn't have the backend motion I liked. After talking to rep there and pro shop. I have a low rev rate and I want a ball to do more work for me. I chose the Reality check.

[@AussiePillow1]

So does lofting create permanent changes in lane topography?

[@travisimler2648]

Looking forward to trying this ball in the near future. Keep up the great game!!

[@jasonheinzen1125]

The colors remind me of a cross between the Defiant Soul and the Haywire. It's really pretty.

[@cruzramin738]

Great video!! When do the ball giveaways start??

[@miguelito0716]

great review, when you will be checking out the new urethane 900 global zen u? edit: just realized you threw it in a vid 3 weeks ago💀

[@glennandersen5949]

Happy thanksgiving! Would the exotic gem be a better option on the fresh or when the lanes start to transition?

[@iceman5117]

Fresh or heavy carrydown. Asym is going to flare more and earlier than an asym

[@jeremysmallwood8631]

Another great video. So many ball options out there now.

[@bradonbatten6169]

Ik there not even comparable but please compare the exotic gem vs iron forge

[@scottythompson940]

Cool video talk tech bowling Darren tang

[@JLC1019]

How does this compare to the Infinite Physix?

[@chriswinton]

Man I want this ball! I barely hook the ball at all but this seems to hook and go through the pins even better than the gym. Im currently bowling with the Proton PhysiX but im going to need a lighter ball

[@chriswinton]

@DarrenTangs187 is this another fake giveaway?

[@Wspre_]

Happy thanksgiving!

[@victorbogen1558]

Just like the ball u game lance and didn't tell him trend 2 can't use it in a usbc league! my old bowling partner had to give it back to storm for the rstx2

[@DarrenTang]

Trend 2 is legal for league use

[@_shilo0_]

YEAH BOIIII HAPPY THANKS GIVINGGGG

[@JSBowling2011]

Come on Darren any ball can hook when the lanes are dry why didn’t you oil at least one lane so we can see what it does in the oil

[@scorpion-ninja8228]

That is a wild looking ball for sure!

[@AquaGhost6865]

wait the exotic gem doesnt come out till next month? ive had mine for more than a week already

I'm afrade to buy any more balls from storm so do I need to keep 8n a bag?are not they dried when I buy them or did I git bad mix,,need some help here, pro shop said storm want do anything to make it right.

[@phlllbthh]

Some sort of insulated bag may be a good idea. Especially if the ball is exposed to a broad range of temperature when stored.

Sometimes the lanes don’t make it possible
