DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE RUBICON!! Roto Grip Rubicon - Bowling Ball Review

[@davidholligan8172]

In 1976 I rolled my first 300 at age 15 in the city tournament in Midland Texas with a Columbia 300 white dot. Of course the lanes were wood back then much different than lanes now. Im now 59 years old and still love the game.

[@jordanjungjrproshop9380]

haha i definitely wish i could experience the 'old school' bowling

[@davidholligan8172]

@@jordanjungjrproshop9380 i loved bowling back then John Denton was pro back then he was my Idol then. With age I have gone from 16 lb to 14 lb. My Grandmother got me into bowling age 5, I have taught many people how to bowl. I enjoy it especially the young people, they ask me how long did it take to bowl like I do. I tell them I'm still learning. I live in Amarillo Texas. Sorry for the long reply.

[@masonhickey2145]

I'm glad that you're still into it after all the transitions in the game! Keep it going

[@andybell490]

You guys are one my favorite bowling ball reviewers. Good reviews that are entertaining. Looking forward to the Radical Bonus review.

[@jrproshop]

Hey Andy! Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated !!

[@kevinanderson9093]

Enjoy the videos. Would really like to see the Axiom, Idol, and the Rubicon compared together.

[@jordanjungjrproshop9380]

I actually threw the Axiom along side the Idol and the Rubicon while I practiced after, the Axiom covers a similar amount of boards to the Rubicon but starts up much sooner and has a much smoother shape

[@pitbullD2K]

Would like to say the rubicon halo pearl is an amazing 1 2 punch!

[@davidholligan8172]

I'm thinking of getting the UFO looks good i have a Gold Black Widow hammer and Fugitive Hammer solid love both My first Hammer was the Vicious best skid flip bought in 2002. Love you guys and the videos.

[@jrproshop]

Thanks for the kind words David! The UFO is definitely a beast. Hooks very early and smooth, would be a great compliment to the black and gold widow

[@張鈞棓-n3k]

Thank you for helping us rating bowling balls ! That helps

[@masonhickey2145]

I bought the rubicon recently and I'm not getting the reaction you're showing. It seems to labor if in the oil and 2_8_10. But if I slow it down it goes brook. Is that because it's reading in the oil and losing energy or just a line issue?

[@clowny2396]

Nice comparisons! The Rubicon is going to be my next buy. Don't have an Idol, but do have a Code X and UFO. Looking forward to the Axiom Pearl compared to the Trend. My guess is that the Axiom Pearl will have more energy on the backend. Thanks Jungo...

[@jordanjungjrproshop9380]

My pleasure, thinking Axiom pearl vs axiom and trend

[@djsully8071]

Love his shot, really has a beautiful shot!

[@FSUSean2112]

for my future tournament/league arsenal i wanna get the rubicon to go to when the nuclear cell is drifting down lane or not hooking enough after like the first game or 2, good video guys.

[@grantschoeck]

Any idea on the comparison of this to the Storm Axiom Solid?

[@jrproshop]

Hooks a bit later

[@grantschoeck]

@@jrproshop awesome! I was hoping for something to go to after the axiom is getting TOO early later into the games.

[@anthonydorazio9650]

Nice video. Hey Jordan you have the skill do you take some polished stuff to tournaments. PARALLAX, PHASE 3,or,Astro.

[@jordanjungjrproshop9380]

Hey Anthony! Yes for sure, I always bowl long format tournaments and lean towards the symmetric balls so ill have a emerald, and/or hyroad pearl, and halo pearl with me (halo pearl now replaced by the parallax in my bag for future tournaments)

[@anthonydorazio9650]

Nice 👌. That Halo Pearl was sweet just like the Physix. Thanks. I don't feel so bad after watching you leave those tens i left nine today.😀😃.

[@jordanjungjrproshop9380]

@@anthonydorazio9650 I agree, the physix was one of my fav balls. ouff 9 is a lot lol

[@rudyfeliciano9648]

can you recommend something for Drier lanes? and or fried up backend lane

[@jrproshop]

The IQ Emerald and gold hustle are really good for those conditions, as well as the new track tempo

[@chasehayes9558]

When will we see the Axiom Pearl/Fast Pitch review? Thanks!

[@jordanjungjrproshop9380]

Hey Chase! The release day for both of those is Oct9, so we will hopefully be releasing the videos between the 2nd and 8th!

[@chasehayes9558]

Jordan Jung JR Pro Shop Thanks!

[@dillonthompson5589]

Personally I love the idol pro until you start to wrap 10 with it hard to adjust with it

[@jrproshop]

Sounds like you might need an idol pearl as well 😂

[@jeffhodge7272]

Is the Rubicon similar to the No Rules Exist? I need to replace it. Should I wait until closer to Nationals before I do?

[@jordanjungjrproshop9380]

the UFO would be more similar to the No Rules Exist (the rubicon would be step down), hmm I would aim to get it at least a couple months before nationals, just so you are comfortable with it and know what it does on a few different conditions

[@jeffhodge7272]

@@jordanjungjrproshop9380 cool. I don't want to get it now and have something "better" come out in March or April. Then I'll have buyers remorse.🤪

[@stormb28]

“I’m bringing 25 balls to a tournament”. Yes, yes I am.

[@jrproshop]

Haha! We wish it was doable 😂

[@selthejester]

You put a big smile on my face. I'm buying the Rubicon to compliment my Axiom and it will be drilled pin down. What do you think? Can't wait to get it on the lanes.

[@jrproshop]

Yep sounds good. Will be much more tame down lane

[@selthejester]

It goes really well with the Axiom and forced it way into my bag for the weekend.

[@atifuiava6030]

Another great review JR thank you!

[@dejabowler873]

Whats your guys spare ball jungo and barks

[@jordanjungjrproshop9380]

I use the black out mix, it goes dead straight

[@Barksbowling]

I don’t have a dedicated spare ball, I attack my spares with urethane. It gives me another option as a 1st ball if the conditions call for urethane.

[@dr.rubencruz1668]

Hy road X vs Hy road (original) vs Trend PLEASE!!🤙🙏

[@dejabowler873]

Tell me how you got on storm staff

[@jordanjungjrproshop9380]

i was in the right place at the right time and won a couple decent tournaments, and also made the final 6 at the TAT in vegas in front of a storm rep

[@HitemWithTheFlex]

It would be awesome if yall did a overlay of the balls with the same camera angle. To show a real time ball motion to ball motion.

[@jrproshop]

That's a good idea, will try that

[@cleswag2419]

Why don’t u go with longer drilling angle on the big assyms like UFO u have the mass way out by the val makes it way earlier n smoother as u obviously know being pro shop owner

[@jordanjungjrproshop9380]

Hey CleSwag excellent question: yea i used to put the mb in the thumb for my big asyms, then i went down a bowled a couple tour events and regionals and i felt like i couldn't get the ball to start up early enough at the start of blocks, so i decided to start drilling them stronger. Don't get me wrong they are very good for me when i play straighter angles on the fresh and also heavy volume patterns, just not the best shape when im inside 4th arrow like in this video

[@cleswag2419]

Jordan Jung JR Pro Shop ya exactly...I always go around 50 degrees meet in the middle but those balls aren’t for getting way in anyways once they hit their preferred spin axis they quit n roll just not meant for gettin in and wheelin

[@tackywacky99]

I would say for a purpose of a video review, its better to just keep the layouts simple and not too optimized for your own personal game. As pro shop operators we can adjust and manipulate layouts and surfaces to be exactly to our needs. Not everyone is going to know what theyre getting or ever adjust the surface at all. Seeing the natural gyration of the core is what most people will go by when deciding to purchase a bowling ball. Given said that, I totally agree with your longer drilling angles on assyms. The ball reaction and angles in this video were barely sub-optimal

[@jordanjungjrproshop9380]

@@tackywacky99 Yes, I agree with you. All of my asyms have the same layout (35x5.25x40) and all of my syms have the same layout (65x5x25) this video was the first one I compared an asym to a sym hence the different layouts. If you watch any of my other ball review videos everything has the same layout. Thanks for watching!!

[@rudyfeliciano9648]

can we put the Rubicon vs code X?

[@jrproshop]

That would actually be a great comparison, can't get a code X anywhere now though ☹️

[@rudyfeliciano9648]

Damn i just drilled my last one

[@Hahahanoyes]

The storm nova is this ball

[@bowlingballreview3233]

How do u join team storm

[@jordanjungjrproshop9380]

not sure what the process is now lol

[@robbybowlsalot5947]

I love dark color balls

[@Tcrror]

Heh.

[@joecantu2775]

i just bought the rubicon and I am think of getting UFO alert or trend i dont know which one would be better

[@jrproshop]

Both are good compliments to the Rubicon. The Trend goes really long and is really sharp, and the UFO Alert hooks a bit earlier and hooks more overall. If you’re looking for a weaker ball than the Rubicon, then I’d go with the Trend.

[@timeless2227]

Doesn’t the idol comes at a 2000 grit

[@RV126ICE]

Axiom and Rubicon might be a good comparison

[@jordanjungjrproshop9380]

yea might be pretty close in strength but the axiom will definitely start up earlier because of the much stronger cover

[@robbybowlsalot5947]

The darker the cherry the sweater the juice

[@jordanjungjrproshop9380]

hahaha i completely agree

[@Tcrror]

Not sure if I am missing it, but are you talking about a sweater for cold weather? Or someone who sweats profusely?

[@MrInteg92gsr]

Grip your finger tips hard before you release for consistency.. but what the fuck do I know.
