i think you could have made a mold of the first mold...i think lol

[@bradyanthony50]

The flat spot can be avoided if you dam around your poor point and poor it higher than the top of the mold it's the same principle as plugging the ball to re-drill it.

I think the flat spot is because the ball wasn’t suspended in the mold. Guessing the ball was sitting on the bottom of the box.

[@travishanson166]

A couple suggestions for future ball casting. Drill a locator pin hole for each half of the mold, one in each equator of the ball. Fabricate a pin with base to fit the hole snuggly, but not and interference fit. Make the pins enter ball at least 3", but ideally 4". Stand ball on pin and pin base in box. Pour first half of mold. Let cure. Insert 2nd pin, which should be identical to 1st pin. Use silicon, graphite, or some other non reactive, non-silicone soluble/miscible lubricant on the mold face, to keep the 2 halves of mold from bonding (can also use paper/cellophane) Pour 2nd half, let cure. Separate 2 halves of mold easily due to the barrier, remove ball. Granted, I forgot to add a pour cup. So maybe just pin 1 side and a cup on the other.... The locator pin allows you to develop a core and suspend it. I'd suggest molding something with epoxy and tungsten for ease of casting and drilling. Have a buddy 3d print negatives of weight block and outer core, to make a mold. Include a locator pin in both. Have fun on the adventure of "try and see" bowling ball design.

[@travishanson166]

Don't forget glass beads for outer core shell. Weigh raw materials or you may end up with a 40lb ball.......

[@ambiarock590]

Id love a part 2 of this video to improve the homemade ball. Id suggest leaving the huge lump in the ball after pulling it out of the mold, and getting rid of that chunk with a pro shop drill since they have drill bits to make the ball surface perfectly round. These are the bits you use after filling in a chip or a finger hole, fill it in and then drill to make the surface smooth again

[@Dasato123]

Obviously minimal research was done prior to the making of this video.

[@popanda3652]

"I do love chocolate" same brother

[@jonbohn7045]

Yes we want to see another homemade ball with no flat spot and if you can do a core hell yes

[@ambiarock590]

Id love a part 2 of this where you improve upon the procedure. Maybe suspending the ball in the mold using a pin, and using a pro shop drill bit to make the surface perfectly round

[@pezboy715]

This video is a good demonstration of what a core does

[@thebestian]

part two for sure! Also stuffing random stuff in there would be unique, kinda like the glove ball or others that were made in limited quantities. Might need a more clear resin though. A little coloring in between resin pours maybe? could be cool.

[@geraldip7525]

“Cloning the clone” simply cracks me up right at the start 😂You are amazing man! Thanks for sharing indeed great job!!❤

[@rickscott7350]

When you mold the 2nd half you need to put a release agent on top of the bottom half so the molds will come apart easy. Also when you mold the bottom you need to flip it so you can mold the open part of the ball. I only know this because my son does molding of items and ive learned from him. .

[@chrish7336]

As you mentioned at the end, need to change how the mold it made to get rid of the flat spot. The box is a soft surface so it would sink into the Cardboard, need a firm surface to reduce the edge. Also Find a ball that is slightly larger (New not worn) Even light sanding will reduce the overall ball size. Us that for the mold you can then sand it slightly(put it on a lathe) to remove a small edge. Should be interesting to see what comes from your next mold.

[@AMFthereturn]

Definitely needs a core and an outer shell for the core. And maybe some paint and some additives for the resin so its you know reactive. This should definitely be a series. Earned a like💪

[@millsdjr]

Let's put the core in it!

[@andrewdobosz3682]

Freakin sweet, I've been wanting to see someone make a homemade ball. Can't believe you actually did it

[@decadude8968]

This is essentially what i really want to do but i just dont have the time or money. I would love to see you make an improved homemade one with a couple suggestions: Prop the ball slightly up with something small for it to sit on before pouring the first half of the silicone mold. Something like a flat sanded bottle cap. That way the potential flat spot that you'll sand away will be much smaller and less likely to cause an inconsistent roll. Also, definitely do not forget to put mold release on the first half and the ball before doing the second half, that way you can actually pull it apart when its cure. It would also be absolutely dope if you put in something that weighs about 3 pounds for a core. You could use almost anything you want, including your own design, that way it would actually have some flare. You could do mica powder with the resin so that way it looks prettier too lol. Another option for stronger motion is to use entirely ball filling material that people use to plug and redrill equipment. I believe its urethane material so you'll get much more motion i would assume. Overall really cool to see someone else try this. I would love to see it done with a weight block in it though, which is what i would do since i have a couple of my own designs for weight blocks.

[@georgeadkins2352]

It was probably at least 4x as expensive as buying a ball full retail plus drilling at an out of state tournament, but if you ever had the wild hair, you should make one without a flat spot, and put a weight block in it. Like a solid 3lb rectangle to get the weight to 15

[@topgunne12]

[@garlicbread57072]

[@FrekinSmart]

That was incredible! Worth the wait!

[@mattvongruben]

One of the best vids you've ever made! With your old mold, I thought about that flat spot right from the beginning. If you just turn the mold over after it dries, you could put the ball back in and THEN pour back over the flat spot to complete the nice, completely round mold. Won't have to make an entire new one then. Fun video. Makes me want to make my own ball too!

[@DavidRodriguez-mp9nh]

This is a great video. You also have outstanding comedy timing. Good on ya and have fun learning by doing!

[@johnfranck3908]

Yes. I would like to see you make a ball without the flat spot & if you’re still thinking to make a core that would be an additional experiment. Its just a thought but I’ll wager you can design your own core with modeling clay. Fire it in an oven to harden it. Then cast the core same method as your ball. Then throw at least three games with the new ball. I know it will be a lot of work for you, but wow what a great video you’ll make. Who knows; it would be great if Brunswick will be asking you to be on their design team shortly there after. Good luck. I hope you can make it happen.

14:12 When I went to 2 hands that’s how I was bowling. In my opinion the top perk of 2 hands is crazy wrist angle and action but not too much pressure on my one wrist to actually keep the ball in the right spot the whole motion

[@damarapoledna3636]

Do it again but put mold release/release agent on the ball and between the two halves. Throw in some food coloring when mixing. Get a two pound chunk of something to place inside for a core. Use a ball spinner and 500 grit to finish it.

[@Michaelman79]

Def want to see a part 2!

[@BornIn1500]

A company should team up with a KZbinr to create a unique 1 of a kind ball with whatever new core the KZbinr wants. It doesn't even have to be within any rules or specs. Just make one crazy ball for a video and that's it. It would be a great promo for the company. Maybe Storm can talk to 220 Average Bowler and he can create a legit ball?

[@J002]

Well now that you have one, I have more ideas with it. Sand it to 180 and throw it, have a really high rev bowler throw it, shine that ball up and so much more

[@billcain7821]

Outstanding video really enjoyed it, I saw two problems with this ball, the first one obviously was that flat spot LOL. You needed something to suspend the ball from the bottom to prevent that from happening, but you did say in this video you think you know how to fix that problem already. Next no type of weight block inside the ball would love to see you design your own weight block i.e., a design that's not been used inside a ball yet and put it inside your homemade ball and see how that works out for you. Would also like to see you add some color to the ball like maybe do some kind of a tie-dye type of deal if you know what I mean, would just like to see you use some colors that have not been used yet in bowling balls that would be cool don't you think? Anyway, we'll be looking forward to your next homemade bowling ball video, keep up the GREAT work.

[@matthughsmusic]

I'd love to see you do another video with a core and fixing the flat part problem

[@Jbmccain86]

Nice! You should also add something to that resin like carbon black or some other powder to help it grab for the next one! One thing I always want to try is to make a wooden ball with a simple core using a dense wood! We all know wood absorbs oil so if the new wooden ball is simply sanded, maybe it would have a similar reaction to resin?

[@Fake.plastic.guy.]

Large silicone molds can be really tricky. But the outcome was a lot better than I expected it to be. I'm far from an expert but I can give you a couple of tips, when you get silicone also purchase mold release spray. It's pretty self-explanatory. Use it on the og ball and inside the silicone mold. It would probably also prevent the two halves of the mold from fusing. also you might want to consider making it just a little bit oversized by a couple millimeters. You figure out how, lol. Then throw it on a spinner and cut it down. Ask for the core, you can do the same thing as the 20lb ball. Then hang it in the middle of the ball and pour around it. Do some small experiments with using less hardener in the epoxy find out if it makes it softer or just makes it take forever Do you think storm would get all pissed off at you if you called it the Dirt Road? Think brown food coloring or dye. (Eeeew!) Good luck chocolate lover!

[@bradmorgan3797]

As someone who has watched thousands of bowling videos. This is probably the coolest one I’ve ever seen.

[@muruhs]

Now do one with a core, youll have to suspend the core with a string from the top when you do the first half of the ball and remove the string for the second half!

Forrest can do the same with his Storm IQ, or would that Clone be a Lower IQ ? he he he Paul

[@joshuab1707]

I like the idea of you trying again, especially with a core. Maybe get a hold of some urethane? How you'd make just a coverstocj of just Urethane is beyond me, but maybe just an entire ball made of the stuff? Lol

[@decadude8968]

I suggested using the material for plugging bowling balls, since that's urethane. Only makes sense you could make a whole ball out of the stuff. And he could add mica powder to make it look prettier than the dull piss yellow look lol.
