In-League Ball Review - RADICAL CONSPIRACY HYBRID - Not what we were expecting..

[@cquay3]

Preach it! Don't feel bad for what you see. And it's really informative to watch a non-tour , non bowling company staff person throw . More people throw like you than like them👍👍👍👍👍

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

Thank you very much and I agree. Pro bowlers and staff guys can make any ball look good really. Would they even tell you if they didn't like it?? Thank you! Joe Bowler

[@cquay3]

@@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593 I think that even a decent league bowler could figure out most any ball if they had the time to just throw it and throw it. But we don't have that time so when we find a goodie we keep it and if not we toss it. Real people real shit. Love your channel

[@michonstallworth]

I appreciate your honesty unbiased opinion. Real League Bowlers. This bowl looks like it wold be great for someone with a little more hand

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

Thank you! I can agree with you there but for the price a high rev guy could get the same reaction for a lot less money. Appreciate it man, Joe Bowler

[@bryantpeppers50]

It sucks when you get a ball and it’s just not made for you. Many bowlers have bowling balls collecting dust in their house.

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

Yes sir it does. We're usually pretty good at picking them but unfortunately not this time. Thank you! Joe Bowler

[@MNohrLarsen]

A ball isn't always "your type of ball". That been said, to keep it real you have to work on your realese to see what the conspiracy can do. Looking at your first four shots they are very different, some around the ball, on the side and throwing in front of yourself and the ball is not supposed to fix that for you. Go give it another chance and keep it real by looking at your realese.

[@erniechaney9610]

I think a 40 degree angle is way too early for that ball. Storm products are naturally longer than Radical products. Something like a 70x3 3/4x25 would do wonders

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

Thank you very much. Next time Bubby drills a Radical asym ball, we'll try that layout. Have a great day! Joe Bowler

[@jasonblack2553]

Sometimes balls take a bit to break in. I had a dare devil danger I absolutely hated for the first 3-5 games with it because it didn't hook. After that it became pretty strong.

[@MrMalditor]

My suggestion, plug it and redrill it with a different layout to adjust for it's issues for it's current layout. That said, the coverstock may just not match up for her rev/speed/tilt/rotation. However, I'm pretty sure that there's a layout that would work.

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

We've decided to just move on this one man. Once you completely plug a ball and move everything it's going to affect the balls dynamics anyways. She will just keep throwing the balls she has for now until we decide on a new one for her! Thanks as always brother! Joe Bowler

[@MrMalditor]

@@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593 Fair enough, sometimes the juice just isn't worth the squeeze. Should be able to get a good price reselling the ball with so little use.

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

MrMalditor I wouldn't sell this ball to anyone else now. I have been thinking about a way I could cut it in half to check out the weight block though..

[@NoSkilljutsu]

@@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593 what's the wight size of it? If it's 14lbs I'm interested in it.

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

NoSkilljutsu this was a 15lb my friend. We're working on having it replaced with something different fortunately. You wouldn't want this particular ball, trust me. Thank you! Joe Bowler

[@BJWanlund]

I’ve kinda had the same problem with my DV8 Turmoil 2 Pearl. I demoed the Conspiracy Theory ball at my local alley and I loved it from the very first throw. So the Conspiracy Theory will be entering my main bag as soon as possible. :) I say my “main” bag because I’m looking to get a three ball roller with my tax refund and maybe even get that Pathogen Spare ball you featured as well ;)

[@guezwho67]

Yup, been there. I hate spending money on a ball that doesn't work for me. I'm glad I'm rolling the Crux!

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

We do too man. Bubby will be throwing her Crux for the foreseeable future. Thank you! Joe Bowler

[@jamescheff3160]

Wow, a honest ball review don't see that often.

[@DGV_Tips]

Been using the Conspiracy solid for the last few weeks...it’s a striking machine.

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

I hear ya man. I don't know what happened with this one. You can see the performance of this one against the Storm Crux Prime though.. Thanks! Joe Bowler

[@DGV_Tips]

Bowling Knightz Garage Shop funny...I was throwing the crux prime right before I got the conspiracy solid, and now the conspiracy is my go to ball.

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

Al Farrow there you go man. Bowlers are going to prefer different things and I get that. But based on performance, out of the box, for the price, this ones a no doubter for us! Thanks man! Joe Bowler

[@cleswag2419]

Al Farrow that conspiracy solid is waaay slower then the hybrid off the spot

[@matthewpriestley7202]

Appreciate the honest review. Just wish I had seen this before I purchased my own. I had more success the first time I threw it but then no matter what surface I’ve put on it, it was just as unpredictable as you saw

[@donaldb5877]

My balls in my bag are notorious,instigator,prowler and the pitbull bark... u guys need to test out that instigator..

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

Is that your favorite one? We can't buy them all so we're always looking for input from our fellow bowlers on what to try next. Thank you! Joe Bowler

[@donaldb5877]

instigator is prolly the best dv8 ball right now... follow by the prowler... I shot 198,192,199 with the instigator out of box

[@AimSmall101]

Joe I'm with you! The performance difference was obvious. Would like to see a practice follow up session with a few more games on the ball and maybe some sanding adjustments as well.

[@junebugcomputer]

Bubby throws with good balance. I think the crux is her wheelhouse. Maybe the new belmo ball might be her good match.

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

Thanks Syd! She might like that one but there's no way I'm paying $175 for a symmetrical ball 😂 Thanks brother, Joe Bowler

[@junebugcomputer]

I hear you Joe 😂

[@bowlingbrawn3063]

Radical balls have always seemed to be allergic to oil and quick off the dry, to me. If you don’t want to play with the surface, then I do recommend she go to a pin down drilling. The last number in her lay out (25) will cause the ball to turn left quickly. If you want a slower reaction, that last digit needs to be higher.

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

I loved the Squatch man. It was probably my favorite ball I threw all year last year. Appreciate that man! She's had several asym balls with this same layout and liked them all. Just one of those things I guess! Thank you! Joe Bowler

[@rclick1226]

Dang! Made my mind up again! Need me that Crux Prime! Is that coverstock holding up as advertised? You have a nice shot Bubby!

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

Thanks Rob! We're getting close to the 30 game mark on the Crux Prime. She said she hasn't noticed any difference in the reaction yet and I haven't either. She'll probably be throwing it for a while now so check back with us! Thanks brother! Joe Bowler

[@coopergates9680]

See Luke Rosdahl's gravity evolve vid. His prime is doing well months later.

[@BJWanlund]

Yep, that ball doesn’t look like it’s Bubby’s kind of ball whatsoever. I had similar problems with my original DV8 Hitman out of box but I just gave it some surface sanding it and it seems like it might be the answer to my issues with the first game and a half and the fresh oil...

[@thebigeasy8609]

You guys crack me up............."Keepin' it real"!!

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

😂 Always brother!

[@johninderieden7611]

I agree with you, Joe. It didn’t look good for her at all. It hurts when you get excited for a ball and spend the money and it rolls like a turd.

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

It does man and I haven't seen her that frustrated in a long time. I wish you guys could have been there to see the difference in person.. Thank you brother! Joe Bowler

[@ianelgar6472]

Thats like me and my pink widow.. hits like a whiffle ball. It hits like an 8 lb ball

[@joepic85]

Too low ball speed to hit the friction with a hybrid or pearl. Which is why she said she "Has no forgiveness" She is getting an over/under reaction and to fix that you need to use a solid ball and thats exactly what she did and why it worked.

[@77Musicnut]

Appreciate the honest opinions but what is your plan for the ball? Attempt at surface changes? If she keeps it any chance at an update later? I think we've all run into a ball that at first maybe didn't react the way we thought but settled into something that worked well or totally changed. I have to admit I was interested in this particular ball, and there will be a brunswick/radical/dv8 ball demo coming up in my area so I'll check it out but; I'm definitely put off based on the review here.

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

We filmed this review almost two weeks ago. We wanted to be sure before we posted it that it wasn't the shot or her or anything like that. She threw it two more times once at the same center and at a different one as well. Same results. I don't think a surface change is going to do this one much good. It's just the way it rolls. It kind of lopes down the lane and never really gets into a good roll. It's weird man. Maybe we got a dud? If that's the case, that's a bigger issue than us not liking it. If you have a chance to throw one let me know what you think. I'm interested in what others that throw different brands have to say about it. Thank you! Joe Bowler

[@indy87colts]

I agree with others, put a different finish with those TRUCUT pads and give it another chance.

[@drewhayes5734]

Have an idol pro and idol pearl on the way so I'm hoping they work better for me then the conspiracy hybrid

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

Haven't thrown any of the Idols yet man. Wouldn't mind trying one down the road though!

[@coopergates9680]

They'll work until you need to get deep. Then you might want a marvel pearl.

[@robertlapress9210]

Change the surface to match the crux prime. Plus crux prime is earlier rolling weight block.

[@dejabowler873]

500/1500/2000 shall do the trick

[@rodennis418]

Be nice to see how it rolls when the Crux starts hooking too much for her. Bet it would slide into that spot well.

[@jefferyboring4410]

I’d love to b able to judge a ball in 15 frames all over the place and chuck it!!! Change it polish it sand it let someone else try it. I’d like to see a little more effort

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

I appreciate your thoughts man but there's more to the story on this ball unfortunately. We're withholding judgement until more information is available. Thank you! Joe Bowler

[@KeithAustinMusic]

Can’t be too upset some balls don’t work for everyone and with this being a newer ball you could always re-sell it and start over with something new

[@sonnydukes]

Sorry Bubby, It totally sucks to get a brand new ball, only to find out its not right for you. I am having a similar experience with my DV8 Hitman Enforcer. I may put surface on it & see if that helps.

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

Thanks man! Let us know if that helped you any on that ball. Joe Bowler

[@reinaldogonzalez887]

would like your opinion, I love the Storm T road pearl. and still have it :) I have the pin over the fingers with cg out . I am a slow speed. around 13 to 14 mpg. and I love the way it comes back. what ball would you recommend to replace that ball. I wish I don't have to but it's about time :) any advice would be appreciated

[@Kawboy65]

That ball just needed a little more surface.

[@ianelgar6472]

Throw it further down the lane instead of front heavy. The conspiracy travels more than you expect

[@webmoss]

Sand that ball to 2000! And redo

[@drewhayes5734]

I got a Conspiracy hybrid and it doesnt roll well for me either, very incosistant for me as far as reaction

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

We're not the only ones man.. Thank you, Joe Bowler

[@kratosisatreehugger8140]

The difference in performance is in storms new SPEC technology! A lot heavier rolling and more predictable than that conspiracy. The conspiracy seemed super jerky off friction. (At least for her) and when she got it in it was just meh. I have a rack attack and it is and will always will be the only Brunswick ball I have. Brunswick balls just don’t work for me. Tried em just don’t like em. I’ve tried almost every other company and they roll ok for me. The balls that work best for me are storm hammer and roto grip. I love their equipment (mostly storm). Gotta use what gives you the best shot at winning. In my opinion, it’s an opinion... I think anything Brunswick is 💩💩💩 just constant flat tens. Joe I feel for ya man. You buy a ball and you think Itl be great. It’s advertised like it’s gunna be great but it turns out to be a 💩. Sorry you wasted your money. Thanks for the review tho 🤙🤙 much appreciated

[@MrMalditor]

I haven't had any manufacturer that I couldn't throw, but definitely have had my best luck with the Hammer line. It always comes down the the layout for me. Any ball will work with the right layout.

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

Kratosisatreehugger I haven't personally owned a Storm ball in a long time, mostly because of how expensive they are. I normally throw balls that have been out for a while and are on clearance. Being able to drill my own I rarely pay over $75 for a ball and that's inserts and all. I throw balls from most of the major companies. I don't prefer one company over the other as I've liked balls from all of them. But after seeing the difference in these two balls, drilled the exact same way, both out of box, I may have to pay up and try and Storm ball here soon. Thank you very much! Joe Bowler

[@Brian_B300]

Think you are being a little too critical of this one buddy. Try some surface changes during open games, not league play. Also, for how badly she missed on those unhappy frames it wouldn’t matter what ball was in her hand. She was rolling it poorly, plain and simple. You are correct in saying it was speed sensitive, common characteristic of Radical covers, but she wasn’t playing the lane correctly on most of those misses. Favorite or not that strong of a layout was not a good match for that ball for her. Mo Pinel has a video on surface adjustments on the Radical channel, check it out. Not trying to be a hater over here. Love your channel and I tell my bowling buddies about you guys all the time. Might be a few weeks but I’ll show this video to my pro shop guy (Radical staffer) and see what he thinks. He’s like you Joe, doesn’t sugar coat a damn thing 👍

[@bowlingknightzgarageshop7593]

I appreciate it man! We filmed this review almost two weeks ago and we waited until she had an opportunity to use it a couple more times. She threw it again and the same house and then at another house before we posted it. Same results. I wish you guys could see this ball roll in person. We realize that she's not the most accurate bowler anymore, however, she has been bowling for a long time and understands how to make adjustments and the way a ball should roll for her. This ball just seems to lope down the lane. For the price, for your regular league bowler who only buys a couple balls a year, there are better options out there in my opinion. Maybe we got a dud? If that's the case, that's a bigger issue than us not liking it.. Thank you very much! Joe Bowler

[@Brian_B300]

Bowling Knightz Garage Shop that’s a bummer. I know what you mean, picking out a piece only to be disappointed definitely sucks. It happens though. My Katana Legend is a monster. Didn’t really love it out of box on my local house pattern, but when I need to get in and play away from the traffic it really shines. So hopefully one day she finds herself on a pattern that will allow her to use this one. I’m punching out the Emerald IQ in the next couple weeks. I’ll update with results Best of luck to you and your crew ✌️

[@joepiccoli711]

She has no revs. Obviously the crux would give a better ball motion for her. I knock the shit out of the pins with the cons hybrid

[@coopergates9680]

Sit down dat 3-4-6-7-10! Lol

[@justmakingthistoreply5085]

Isn’t that ball for a cranker?
