Top 3 Bowling Balls Of 2024 SO FAR!!! Best Of The Best!

[@charlesventers]

I enjoyed meeting & watching you bowl at the Open. You use the equipment that you show to people. If anyone is wondering, he's a genuine guy & is just like he is in these videos. Keep up the good work!

[@aaronspringborn34]

I do not care for that attention stat but I never seen shots that good with it ever. Now I’m starting to like it the way you’re throwing it.

[@KevinEvans513]

I agree, I was excited to throw it when we had a demo at shop here. I didn’t care for it after I threw it.

[@wingracer1614]

It seems to be quite similar to the Theorem which is well on its way to being a GOAT ball.

[@fopm008]

Change the surface. I hated mine out of box, changed it to 2k with Smooth Edge polish and now it's free strikes

[@chrisleeleslie]

My attention star is amazing 😍

[@abudka13]

My attention star is amazing and rolls very similar. I will say I was so so about it when I got it, however after buying some of that crappy reacta gloss cover off it came to life and is amazing.

[@kumansky]

Great video and comparison Luis! Of all three attention star impressed me the most!

[@StephenLella]

Big fan of the quarterly updates! Also, your game is shaping up really nicely! Keep up the great work

[@chrisleeleslie]

I fell in love with the Attention Star during a demo day. Punched up my own and love it even more. Without fast forwarding, my guess would be the Optimum Idol.

[@LuisNapoles]

Attention star has been so good!

[@aaronspringborn34]

300 with the attention star wow!

[@IamTheShermanator]

Got to throw the Attention Star at a demo and there’s just something different about it. Only ball I couldn’t miss with.

[@LuisNapoles]

It's a good one!

[@jonathan10pin]

The idol line is nice, and I see why you put that ball at number one so far it’s smooth and it reads the friction.

[@LuisNapoles]

It’s a good one!

[@MrHitman6498]

Your videos are the best on here. If you EVER bowl a tournament in St Louis. I’d love to pick your brain more. I’ve used your videos to work on my game. And I’m in a 2 ball league where we can pick any two Storm/Roto Grip/900 Global and you’re helping me decide what to get. Thank you Luis!!!!!!!

[@MrBran1191]

this is amazing! what are your thoughts on the road ball coming out next month? not sure if it will compare to these so cant wait until you can get one and throw it

[@LuisNapoles]

I think a lot of people are going to love that ball! I cant wait to show you guys my video on it

[@jamesnavarrete76]

@LuisNapoles what are your thoughts on the Xponent Pearl, compared to your Top 3 in this video?

[@882828jc]

It really make no different, they always have new ball as long as you buy them. Basically is the hand that behind the balls, doesn't matter what kind of ball. It won't get a strike automatically itself.

[@PatientBoat]

I loved the Optimum Idol when i threw it at a demo day. To me it felt like a much smoother P2. I'm getting one drilled tomorrow.

[@LuisNapoles]

Hope you love it!!!

[@richardrump4926]

I like your selections. Great review...

[@LuisNapoles]

Glad you like them!

[@liquidrock2u]

I guessed what the number 1 spot was, but I was also half expecting you to throw us a curve ball with something like the IQ 78/U.

[@LuisNapoles]

Its a good one but its just to situational to be up there ya know

[@liquidrock2u]

@@LuisNapoles Yeah, I do. That's why I said it'd be a curve ball.

[@GregA387]

Hi Lou, have you thrown the UC2 Pearl before and if so is it comparable to an Attention Star?

[@LuisNapoles]

I never had that one unfortunately!

[@PaysteeDook]

do you think the attention star a good replacement for the original zen?

[@LuisNapoles]

Yes def!

[@nathanielsims7253]

I’m surprised the Summit Peak isn’t one of your top 3 because I’ve been rocking with that ball on the Pro pattern

[@chiefjoe528]

What pound ball are you using?

[@mitchellportee150]

Guess I'm gonna get an attention star because you've never lead me wrong .

[@LuisNapoles]

I hope you love it!

[@BrianSpinzig]

I thought sure you were going to go with the Harsh Reality as the #1. You surprised me. Thanks for another good video

[@LuisNapoles]

was def a CLOSE 4th on the list

[@davidprice2111]

I have a Sublime and LOVE IT. Can the Attention Star live in the same bag with the Sublime?

[@BrianSpinzig]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@LuisNapoles]

DEF can yes!

[@davidprice2111]

@@LuisNapoles I am sorry to ask a second question, but would you consider the Attention Star a ball up or down from the Sublime. I have been looking for a ball down and have been thinking about Attention Star, Xponent Pearl, and The Road. Any thoughts?

[@DRDEF7]

Personally, I dnt know of anyone that throws that idol not even in the leagues this is a first at least here should i say, Im shocked the Harsh Reality wasnt on this list at least behind the Attention Star 1 Star. 2 Harsh Reality But Good content overall

[@KP206-vr6qi]

The hammer effect is going to be ball of the year, most versatile ball I ever thrown.

[@MrSouthpoint69]

That’s your opinion

[@KP206-vr6qi]

@@MrSouthpoint69 thanks captain obvious

[@SteveTartar]

Fuck that other guy, people suck these days, lol. But you’re prob right. That ball certainly is getting the hype so far.

[@scotthoward6070]

From what I can tell. The Attention Star is stronger off the spot. The Optimum Idle is more even and might be better on the fresh in game 1. Then go to the Attention Star sometime in game 2.

[@markmezzasalma309]

Attention Star: Where do you place your feet and what boards do you throw it over for a right handed bowler?

[@garygiertz3827]

Ordered my Star today looking forward to throwing it

[@aaronspringborn34]

I saw you compare this ball to the phase 2 which I just got in late January heck, I just bought with my uncle who used to do a lot more bowling back in the day once he got acclimated because his ball is really old he never got a new one in years with it because first of my game was the one game and I won with it the prior game. I see that storm will be releasing called the all road. It seems like a highroad with AI core technology. I have a few ideas for future videos for ball comparisons. Can you compare this idol versus the summit because you said they are both the same/a touch stronger than the IQ tour and more like the phase 2, which are the two balls I have, and by the way you and a few other guys were the ones that recommended these balls for control and versatility. I am well pleased that I have them also when the new All road comes out. Can you compare that to the original hy road please?

[@joeanderson9267]

I got 2 Attention Stars one pin up, one pin down. I don't have the Coil. The Idol looks good, but I thought you #1 would've been the Harsh Reality or Absolute Power. Good list so far... question, which balls would your "honorable mention"? Xponent?

[@LuisNapoles]

I think a close 4th would have been the Harsh Reality!

[@FSUSean2112]

really controllable and if you miss its not gunna kill you with the attention star, i like the angular way to the pocket, but id be upgrading from the nuke cell.

[@eddieworley3409]

Ok @Luis Naples what makes it number 1 is it strength versatility or is it because it holds the spot for more people across the nation threw 300s with it

[@LuisNapoles]

for me its cause the Idol just does everything really well and checks off all the marks of being a REALLY good benchmark ball!

[@larrylacroix3944]

Attention star should have been number one today. Goat

[@LuisNapoles]

On this day Larry it could have easily been number one

[@8fer27]

I would have to put hyper venom on this list, literally is the straightener version of the venom shock (a GOAT), out of bowling balls coming out I don't usually buy one that just came out but hyper venom looking to good tho especially in that pink ;)

[@LuisNapoles]

Chris loves his!

[@8fer27]

@@LuisNapoles would be great to see you throw it for a video maybe like a comparison with venom shock, I know there was comments of people wanting to see more of a simpler one handed throw for the normal casual player out there, I know my father said he really wanted to see you throw the ball ;)

[@LuisNapoles]

Wasn’t 300 cause there wasn’t score but it was 12 in row!

[@martymcclune3108]

I don't get it, the 3, 2,1 because you started with #3 DNA Coil but said you were starting them out of order. I really don't get it. Doesn't anyone usually start last and work your way to #1 ???????

[@jeremyfranklin1510]

Look forward to Storms The Road with the Inverted Fe AI weight block with the REX Hybrid Coverstock.

[@LuisNapoles]

I can't wait to share with you guys that ball!

hey LUIS if I can't get either ones what would be the next balls choose from thanks

[@LuisNapoles]

What do you mean???

[@johnny_1971]

if I can't buy them 3 balls here is my Arsenal. hammer black window 3.0. exotic gem. knock out. sneak attack. IQ tour ruby pitch black if you can help me and see if I have any gapes thanks you and keep up the good work

[@spitfirespeakeasy8978]

Attention Star reminds me of the Hyroad

[@spitfirespeakeasy8978]

Will it be the Hammer Effect?

[@Denali_Rebel]

Can anyone explain this to me. He wanted to show them in the order he would throw them in play. So he showed the ball he would throw at the end of the night first and the ball he would start with last. Make it make sense.

[@LuisNapoles]

Because the Coil was 3rd on the list I showed it first and so on lol

[@spitfirespeakeasy8978]
