This Is My BEST Bowling Ball Arsenal

[@v2micca]

Yeah, have watched many many videos of Kris Prather's touch at the bottom of his release. Glad to know I wasn't just exaggerating in my own mind how absolutely sick it looked.

[@foxdogsourdough]

I only have one ball (along with my spare ball) but I am currently making a list of what products I would like to add to at least have a couple different options available. Currently throwing the Storm Nano Pearl. I am so happy to be able to get back into bowling now that my back is better.

[@jamesbledsoe8822]

My benchmark ball is my Parallex effect then dark moss wolverine when transition. My goto ball is my nomad dagger when I am struggling. Dry lanes is my hustle cameo and have the zen master that for the oil

[@gfcgtv6538]

Best advice in the video for me, "if you want to join the tour..... got to throw urethane... hook the lane" Great info for sure. I got a new urethane and have wanted to make it my sort of my "safe ball". I can control it way easier than most. Although my raw hammer hybrid seems to be my best ball. I can hit the pocket anywhere on the approach (saying there's a tad of oil left at least).

[@charlesmitchell4646]

Just dropped from 15 to 14 pound equipment because of an injury. So building what balls to throw started all over..... At 15 lbs : Jackal Alpha, Tech Messager (original), Tank Blitz, Supra, Top Thrill, Blue Dot. Depending on the center swapping in are : Purple Tank, Desert Tank, Game Breaker 2 or Game Breaker 2 Phenom, PitBull Bite. Now at 14 lbs equipment: Brutal Collision, Blue Tank, Pride Empire, Top Thrill, White Dot.

[@atibagaskin77]

I recently did the same. Went from 16 to 14 because of my back injury. Took patience adjusting but I'm back in motion.

[@hienvuong6071]

bag is pretty similar. edit: to add which ones: proton, p2, zen, night road, and pitch black. looking to add iq in there if i could get my hands on one

[@ForrestKritzer]

I agree 100% with this arsenal. My picks would be basically identical. I thought I was the only person that loved the iQ Emerald. Super underrated ball

[@coopergates9680]

Underrated? Someone in an event would say "That ball should be illegal. Too good"

[@infospot4119]

IQ Tour Emerald is my favorite ball as well.

[@davidhartman5594]

Been strictly a Motiv user for about 4 years now, but have just recently picked up the Night Road and love it! It goes with me everywhere as do my Jackal Ghost and Venom Coral

[@atibagaskin77]

Nice selection!

[@infospot4119]

I love the Motiv Rogue Assassin ball.

[@photobombchamp]

I'm throwing Zen, Fate, and occasionally Reality Check right now. My Zen is at 2000 because I need the teeth at my house, but once it transitions Fate is usually perfect. I only really use the reality check if its really hooking too much on the backends cause it is pretty controllable and not jumpy

[@steveg7018]

This is really good to see and have you share your knowledge. I’m still working on the middle part of the bag. Top end of the bag: Quantum EVO Hybrid and Fate. Motiv Empire Pride and Hammer 3-D Offset are the current middle. Radical Intel SE and Hammer Obsession Tour Pearl are the low end.

[@mcdowec.2020]

Game breaker 2 and the radical rattler would be great additions maybe even the bigfoot hybrid

[@steveg7018]

@@mcdowec.2020 Thanks for the advice!!!

[@IVifty]

Great video! My current arsenal is Proton Physix, Phaze II, UC3, IQ Emerald, Pitch Black and White Mix.

[@williamlwilliams5100]

i have the hyroad hybrid its my go to 2nd choice ball my 1st go to ball is the Proton Physixs and the my 3rd choice to clean up is the tropical surge tropical is weaker but i had it drill to have alot of shape at the end

[@shanehelm1570]

We have adopted the nut button on our league team. We have also made one to say “sloppy nut” for the “sloppier the better” strikes. Love the channel D.

[@jeremybarker5510]

I only have 3 balls in my arsenal, but I love it. I throw 900Global Zen Soul, Storm Absolute, and Storm Tropical Surge as a spare ball.

[@mattbanned-cheeley4448]

Right now in this order i have 1. Reality, 2. OG Physix, 3. Idol Helios, 4. Zen, 5. Idol Synergy, 6. Phaze 3, 7. Idol Pearl

[@onemrtrouble9155]

Kind of hard for some of us to get so many bowling balls, but for someone like me i literally throw one bowling ball and that's all i have.....First ball i use to throw (Before it got cracked in half for me not taking care of it) was the Brunswick Red Zone.....Second ball that i have NOW is the Hammer Black Widow Legend.....for someone who ran the Red Zone for 10 years before they stopped making it, i won a few tournaments with it but i do want to up my ball collection for certain situations.....LOVE THE CONTENT BTW, keep it up

[@HUSTLEISMYHABIT]

Mine…. Very Similar Proton Physix, Zen, IQ Emerald, Pitch Black. I never Tried the Reality or Phaze 2 But im sure I probably would have loved them both since our Nuts are exactly the same.

[@Mickey-qs9pm]

Proton Physics, Rst-X-1, Idol Helios, Phaze II and HyRoad. If I know the pattern I will swap one out for an Axiom Pearl

[@Penguinjh]

Darren I'm relatively new to bowling can u break down this steps of what these balls do in detail if that's okay? And why it be nice to have each specific one haha

[@DJTRIXXLBC]

Phaze III, hammer ghost, hyroad pearl, and a hustle always with me

[@justinkolodziej5695]

Actually just Quantum Evo Solid and UC2 and Mix until I collect more 15 pound balls. Used to include Hy-Road Pearl, Phaze II, Trend 2 (now on the sus list) but they are 16 and not sure they are worth fixing the grip on.

[@Cerellador]

I have a question for D.Tang Where should the thumb at the bottom of the swing when you put your fingers into the ball, been giving problems for years ??? really need your help thanks.

[@jacoblangston4765]

I originally bought a hot cell for corner pins and spares cuz I suck at throwing plastic or low hook/straight balls. Come to find out urethane is really good for finding out what and where the oil is and what line to start with or even creating lines to play.

[@liambaker2215]

I have a pretty small total arsenal, but in my bag I have a night road, mix, zen, phaze II, Infinite Physix, and UC3, Im going to get a pitch black soon, but I don't know what to take out, probably the UC3

[@EchoTangoFuture7]

Use the PB as your spare ball, take out the mix, more options

[@alanwarneke7100]

I just started bowling, shopped through bowlers mart online and I chose the zen. I had no idea it was such a good ball. I haven't bowled in years, and the second time I took it out, I bowled a 195

[@marquis83]

That’s a great arsenal to have, do u usually carry a lot of pin up or pin down bowling balls? My arsenal is astro physics, Zen Soul, idol cosmos, night road, hyroad nano, & jackal legacy and a purple tank I travel with those bowling balls

[@moxietoxie1900]

Im a two hander and I throw two Pitch Blacks and a storm Mix and that's my bag. I have a lot more bowling balls but everything seems to over hook my house shot.

[@vicadamson3259]

Global Reality, Roto Grip RST X2, Global Zen, Roto Grip Hyped solid, Roto grip Hustle Rap. Spare ball is an old school Razor. I have a Storm Gravity Evolve I use every now and then. Looking to add the Exotic Gem...

[@christopherkubelka6824]

You basically guessed whats in my bag lmao, great video and I see this helping a lot of people trying to build their bag

[@divotsmudge]

Production quality just keeps getting better and better and better... loving the content guys keep it up

[@noahbensley6086]

Obsession tour ( solid ) , Nightroad , black widow ghost , attitude controls

[@allenjackson7399]

I got a case of hyroad pearls just before they went to the 4k fast finish. If you’re interested

[@dbhoppy]

The balls I have are all hand-me-downs from people in the two leagues that I’m involved in. I’ve got two Groove balls from from Brunswick I believe. One is a power particle, the other is a urethane. The third ball I have is a Brunswick Laser.

[@mathewmcmurtry8411]

Could you do a video about your bags and the accessories in them or about your shoes and how you maintain them.

[@MichaelConroy24]

Do you drill each one the same? Or asym and sym drilled the same? Great video as always

[@SovietWarMusic]

My most versatile bag is probably Pitch Black, Hyper Cell Fused(sanded), Parallax Effect, Phaze II, Zen, Burner Solid.

[@sharpsshooter300]

I have these balls below but... i rarely throw urethane, need to overcome the fear of it 1. Reality 2. Phaze Tour 3. Trend 4. IQ Pink 5. Hustle INK 6. Pitch Purple And a Spare Ball? Since I'm 2 handed

[@DanielS-gu3xg]

If I am only taking 3 balls (not easy to get 6 on trains where I bowl a lot (Spain), I always have the Phase2, Marvel Pearl, and a spare ball.

[@atibagaskin77]

That works! 👍🏽

[@poolmathers6613]

First reactive is HyRoad. What should I get next, Phaze 2 or Zen?

[@mikeboley5545]

My go-to balls are Sure Lock, purple hammer, Zen Soul, Zen, Dark Code and Night Road

[@gladerade]

I always go with the Pitch Black first to see how torched the lanes are.

[@jtilldad]

I would like to see you review the electrify go, it seems to be a very versatile ball that reacts well with rev and speed manipulation on transitional/dry lanes

[@jtilldad]

Update: saw the vid on you using the "go", good info.

[@RONNIEKRAVITZ1]

Hi - I have a question. What bowling ball do you recommend for dry lanes? Thanks - Ronnie

[@clearnormality12]

I only have 1 ball currently and thats the Wolverine Dark moss. I want to get a pitch black for my arsenal and wouldn't mind another ball aswel but unsure on where to start. The dark moss was recommended by one of the guys at my local pro shop and its great for me but I haven't thrown any other balls apart from the house balls so im unsure on where to go from here. Any advice would be appreciated!

[@coopergates9680]

Could you get a fast pitch? Underrated IMO

[@atibagaskin77]

Zen Master, blk Widow 2.0, The Ifinite Physix, Dark Code. This arsenal works 4 me through all lane conditions that I bowled on so far.

[@Geminireaper53]

Currently have a fast pitch that I use mostly for league. I have a dark code yet to be drilled and to be honest not sure How i want to drill it. My hyroad pearl is just plain beat up. Not sure what I want to have in my bag between the fast pitch and the dark code. Zen soul maybe? Need suggestions.

[@Ayzaz_hacks101]

What is the difference in hyroad and hyroad nano

[@johnnier.johnson5655]

As of right now (5 Dec 22) for my Arsenal I am carrying is the Ebonite Aero, Roto Grip RST X2 (I love this ball. Use it most of the time), Roto Grip UC3, Storm Axiom, DV8 Activ8, Brunswick Rhino and the Brunswick T-Zone (Spare Ball). I've only been bowling for a little over a year now after a 30 year layoff. Started Aug 21. Finished league last year with a 184 average. This years league average is currently at 202 mostly using the RST on a house shot .

[@MadSon1901]

My main bag(s) at the moment - Gem, Altered Reality, Phase 2, Zen, UC2. Also have the reality, RSTX1, Rubicon, Hustle Camo, and UC3 depending on the spot. I'm a bit more speed dominant, so the asym pearls, sym solids seem to be my main stay. The Altered is probably my most used ball. Have a blank stashed as well. Looking forward to the Exotic Gem.

I have a Burner Solid that I had drilled up to 'simulate' an IQ Tour (I got it for free and didn't have the money for a new ball) that I'd go to first if I didn't know the center I was bowling at. I usually start with it in my Friday money league. I have an IQ Emerald, and Night Road and Hyroad Pearl to go down to when it starts to look like it's burning up. The Zen was great for me for a while but I get a lot of over/under now with it. I'd get a new one if I could.

[@chasbari]

Not much new in my bag.. finally moved to all 15 after throwing 16 all my life. My current three ball roller has a Rubicon as the strong ball, a Haywire, and then an old Frantic. If I really need urethane I will take my 16 pound Brunswick True Motion along as a bail out as it works when nothing else will.. sometimes. That Rubicon has a good layout and allows me to play much deeper than all my old weak layouts. The other two are definitely more outside of 10 on a THS. I can double up by using different hand positions and speed to create a different shape with each piece as well. If nothing in my current bag works, I can always go to the car and bring in the old 16 stuff.. a Track 716 C, my 16 pound Rubicon, and my old Messenger TI. But, being over 60 I am finally realizing that throwing 16 tires me out more than 15.. Never thought it would be that noticeable, but it definitely is.

[@RGVB11]

@DarrenTang can you clarify your ball order? In the video you said ball #5 zen, but you also said you put the in slot 3. Cleaner sym.
