Storm Phaze 2 Is The GREATEST BOWLING BALL OF ALL TIME! 300 Alert! GOAT!

[@neallebaron5872]

I bought one just before going to the Nationals, after hearing how versatile it is. Mostly practicing with it, but it did perform well at the OC. It’s different for me, in that most balls I play down and in, whereas this ball helps me to go much more inside. I have noticed how important it is to stay aggressive with ball speed, with this ball. I’m happy with the ball, and will use it during the upcoming league season. My ball speed is similar to yours (mid 14 to low 15 mph), so I get a lot from your videos. I am 65 years old, with a 223 average.

[@LuisNapoles]

Good stuff Neal!!

[@laytonasmus6348]

I just got a Phaze II last night... and holy smokes. I bowled one of my best series so far this league, and I didn't even practice with it. I literally got it drilled at the pro shop and then walked 50-ft over to the lanes for league play. Then I threw a 192, 186, and 193. I'm not great, but I've been bowling with an old ball that I got for free and plugged re-drilled it, and so to get one that fits my style better is already amazing. It hooks so hard and it hits hard too, and my throws are about 14.5 mph, and I love it. I got the 14 lb one and I'm so excited for many many more games.

[@LuisNapoles]

WOW! Thats awesome to hear! I Hope to hear many more great scores from you!

[@D8Wavvy]

Definitely my favorite ball. Just recently moved up to 15lbs from 14 so I’ll probably get another one soon. Keep up the great work!!

[@LuisNapoles]

Hope you still love it after the weight change!

[@traviskirk3834]

I believe you unlike the others who don't. How you explain the ball and everything is way more easier then anyone else talking about them. Your more understandable then every one else.

[@LuisNapoles]

I appreciate that Travis!

[@marioc.6767]

Phaze 2 is just an amazing ball. Both long or medium patterns, whether house or sport, the Phaze 2 is a must. It always provides an accurate depiction of what the lane is giving you. It’s definitely my favorite ball in the bag. The IQ Tour however is the best ball for short patterns in my opinion. I hope those 2 balls never get discontinued

[@LuisNapoles]

P2 and !QTS are mandatories!

[@colleenthomas353]

As an older player (70) my ball speed is slower (11.5) or so. I think this ball would be a little too early for me. I use an older storm ball - Reign Supreme-15 lb. Still a Sym ball with a Hi-brid cover and it goes a little longer. 5 - 300s with it. Also have a Hi-road pearl that I resanded from 1500 to 1000 grit and repolished so it is not so angular-works very well( Colleen's husband)

[@LuisNapoles]

A little polish should do the trick!

[@peterschmidt8287]

Just had a 300 using my phase II playing 13-7. This ball is a little weaker than my Nova, which also gave me a 300 just last week playing 15-7. Both games were on fresh oil, #1 of a 3 game set. Both balls are 14# and drilled to go long with pin above finger holes.

[@roycealbanyeden]

I just got back into bowling at the tail end of last season. I bought the Phaze 2 because my bowling balls were almost 20 years old is old, hand-me-downs. Since being back into bowling I have noticed that this ball that this ball gives me a really good control on the fresh and after breakdown. When the lanes are in transition I still have a lot of trouble, however I am figuring that out as well. I do think this ball is very versatile.

[@LuisNapoles]

Thats the hardest part yea!

[@NO-FONT_4592]

The progress of fixing your arm swing is looking good when your arm swing is lower your shots are so much better

[@LuisNapoles]

Agreed! Thanks a ton!

[@dawmlw]

I certainly agree with you on the PII. As info - I watched your video where you were trying to "correct" your timing. Please forget that. You have late timing and it works for you. Just keep it up.

[@LuisNapoles]

Thanks for that!

[@wyattmaukstad9021]

I’ve seen a lot of people use them and I’ve always wanted one. I bought a hustle USA because of your video

[@LuisNapoles]

I hope you love it!

[@TraumaER]

I agree 100%. I may be getting 1 or 2 more just to have as backup. I use it for leagues and tournaments.

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea I wanna stash a fw w

[@belowaveragebowler]

I just got back into bowling after over 20 years. I’m making it a regular thing again. I am picking the P2 up tomorrow and I’ll let you know what I think after rolling it a couple games.

[@madman1526]

How do you like it ?

[@TysBowlingRevolution]

I can only use this on long and high volume sport patterns standing at 30 or more left even when the ball is polished. At 13-14 miles at about 450-500 rpm it just needs more speed from me, which at 11 years old is really hard. The GOAT is a tie between the Hustle PBR and the Pitch Black. The Pitch I can use as a strike and spare ball, even the 10 pin. But if there is too much oil I have to go with the Hustle.

[@Zudoarichidoari]

Keep hustling man. The speed will come. Trust the process 💪

[@TysBowlingRevolution]

@@Zudoarichidoari thanks! I love this sport, even when I get a pocket 7-10

[@LuisNapoles]

Once you get that speed up you're gonna love these stronger pieces!

[@TysBowlingRevolution]

@@LuisNapoles Yeah, I just need to grow. So many tournaments either use short oil or the lanes are so old that the back hooks no matter what

[@TysBowlingRevolution]

@No Name Bowler Dad here, Ty asked that I respond. We actually slowed his tempo as he was so fast to the line coupled with the fact he is a heel planter, working on that, the sudden braking would cause him to lean forward instead of coming up with the swing. The lean forward would result in balance issues, arm crossing etc. The slower tempo didn't result in a speed reduction but did provide a solid accuracy boost. As much as he wants to throw 18mph fact is he is a little guy only 90 lbs and we also just moved to 14 lb balls so low flare equipment is where he needs to be as he pushes a 450+ rev.

[@jeffladrillono2313]

I think I just don't match up well to my P2 on house shots. I really like it with some surface on fresh flatter sport patterns but on house the cover feels so strong it burns up and get me a lot of 9 counts.

[@dougmatteo7359]

Not much luck with P2. I have so many better fit bowling balls. Trend2 & Infinite.

[@LuisNapoles]

Honestly Jeff thats the beauty of bowling! My GOAT bowling ball might not make the next persons list!

[@sirvenomik]

As for versatility I agree I have rolls this thing on burnt out house shot to oily nationals patterns the p2 was just good everywhere

[@LuisNapoles]

💯

[@joeypooschke7914]

I can’t wait for my P2 to get here and get it drilled. It will be my first new ball since my Zone pro active & my zone red alert, I’ve done really really good with my zone proactive and zone red alert all these years I’ve had them. I average 214 recreationally with them. I finally found a Friday morning Premier league that starts in August. That I can do that works with my wk schedule. And a buddy of mine gave me a storm pro motion that I’m having plugged and drilled also. I also wanted a brand new ball and because of your videos and others out there that say this is one of the GOAT balls out there this is what I decided to get for a brand new ball. Love your channel keep up the great wk. thanks 🙏 for making videos like this one and other ones.

[@LuisNapoles]

Well Joey my fingers are crossed for you that you'll end up loving it as much as I have !

[@juvenalhernandez6186]

P2, Hyroad pearl & iq tour are the best. I believe you’re doing a lot better with the 4 step approach. You don’t fall off of shots no where near as much

[@LuisNapoles]

Let’s gooooooo!!!!!

[@CKBowling1]

I’m picking up an Infinite Physix today, thinking about adding this one as well. Will be my first Storm purchases in a long time. Hoping these will fill spots in out of town tournament bag.

[@LuisNapoles]

P2 is mandatory for a tournament bag!

[@DubCAU]

Hey Luis - Checking in to see if you have a comparison video of Storm's Phaze II and the 900 Global Reality? Would definitely enjoy seeing these balls compared to each other or even better a 3 ball comparison with the Super Nova...All the best. (Phaze II, Reality, & Super Nova)

[@LuisNapoles]

I dont have one no but I def can make that happen!

[@chadanderson6705]

I picked up a used Phaze 2 about 6 months ago for $40. I wanted to try it out but didn't want to spend a ton of money on a ball if it wasn't going to work out for me, been there too many times. Had it drilled and resurfaced and for me it was a bit of a turd. Not a whole lot of movement down lane, but I didn't give up on it. I took the surface to 4000 and for my style (speed, rev rate, tilt, rotation) it completely changed the ball. It is everything I always wanted my benchmark ball to be. This ball never gets left at home and is always the first ball out of my bag. Best $40 I ever spent!

[@LuisNapoles]

and that was with a plugged oil soaked ball imagine if it was brand new!

[@adamabdelaziz4586]

The Phaze II is a very versatile ball. For a solid reactive ball that has a very strong cover when it sees friction it hooks off of it.

[@LuisNapoles]

Facts!

[@Jacob_Kramer]

I bowl highschool and I love the phaze 2 it is such a good ball I’m 13 and I average around 215 I love how versatile it is

[@LuisNapoles]

Good stuff! Yea this ball is great!

[@blesssjp1]

I’ve have a UC3, Rstx2, and a black widow.. where would a phaze 2 fit? Thanks for the videos!!

[@LuisNapoles]

Would be that benchmark ball reaction

[@joeyfret8804]

Hi, can you tell us how you drill the phase 2 please thanks

[@billyenglish8523]

I bought this ball after watching one of D. Tang's vids, I believe, and this is my go to ball in all situations. Its the first ball out of my bag and the ball I throw the most. On the fresh pattern I'll give it a little shape but when the lanes breakdown, I'll throw it straight down 10 and wait for that late break. Thinking about getting another one to drill differently. I tell all the peeps in my league and all new bowlers that ask me for ball suggestions to get a Phase II.

[@LuisNapoles]

🐐 Ball no doubt about that!

[@nickkubel9445]

What layout do you have on it currently? I’m torn for layout to put on my first phase 2 that just arrived. My favourite solid layout is 5x3x3 but I’ve only ever used on an asymmetric solid

[@patricklee4422]

This is best ball I have ever had. Bought it in Feb, rolled 300 in April, then 300/800 in June. My first 800, might I add

[@LuisNapoles]

NICE!!!!!

[@kevtlee08]

im still very new to bowling and my technique isnt there yet but my phaze 2 is my favorite ball to use.

[@LuisNapoles]

Even after you gain more experience you'll still love this one!

[@knep24]

I've had two, such a great ball. Don't know why they didn't just pearlize the TX16 cover. Then again we basically have that and it's the Zen which is pretty good.

I have and pull first from my bag the Venom Shock. Could be the 1b of sym solid balls. I can throw mine a long time during league. But, ( I’m a medium rev / to stroker bowler) I see the shock not coming back for me. Anyway, the next sym solid I buy will be a Phase II. Keep up the good work sir

[@LuisNapoles]

I hope you love it!

[@brianmizway9324]

Thanks for sharing this info. Getting back into bowling I haven't heard of this one yet. Glad they haven't stopped making it yet since newer ones are out there. Hope they keep it and will be good for someone who doesn't have to have a high rev rate either. So thank you.

[@LuisNapoles]

I hope it stays around forever!

[@richardvanderkort8080]

Just got my first PII last Saturday and it looks amazing on the lanes! It is really a master piece.

[@stevendimitriadis2544]

It is between the motiv venom shock and the storm phaze 2.

[@PjMargraff6bowler]

I love my venom shock! Such a smooth predictable and strong ball, it's a great benchmark from Motiv bowling

[@LuisNapoles]

Purple hammer would also have to be added to that list based on the Pba players

[@stevendimitriadis2544]

My cousins have motiv venom strike

[@adrianpickett6664]

I think it's the core cover combo that makes this ball special. But I definitely don't overlook the core. I love both the Phaze 3 and Phaze 4. I've had big games with both. Phaze 2 is actually a little too smooth for me and I can't use it that often

[@LuisNapoles]

The other Phazes were just OKAY balls when the P2 is def special

[@JR-ol2hw]

Love Phaze 2 and Hy Road...def Goat status balls...I enjoy all videos and content. I'm more of a stroker style so I dont get to move left like you do but enjoy the bend you get on your shots

[@LuisNapoles]

I appreciate the support!

[@gravymoat]

I just bought my first. I am about 40 mins from throwing my first shots with it, actually. Looking forward to it!

[@gravymoat]

An update : Shot 176, 171, 193 with it for my first 3 games with it. I usually average about 160 so I am pleased! And frankly would have done even better if I could make more than 50% of my spares.

[@LuisNapoles]

Thats awesome! I hope you love its tons going forward!

[@mattdavis7021]

I don’t go anywhere without my Phaze 2! Ball is always great and if I’m ever struggling it’s my go to ball to blend over under for sure. You can’t ask for a better ball then the Phaze 2 absolute Goat!

[@jeremybrillhart5870]

Absolutely! I do the same!

[@LuisNapoles]

Facts on top of facts! 💯💯💯

[@larryschlutt7211]

P2 is one of my favs because when the lanes are playing tuff and I have a small margin for error this is the ball that has proven that I can count on as long as I throw it properly. Another fav I go to a lot is the old bonus solid by radical. When I need a step down from the p2 that's the ball. The new ratler is nice as well. P2 is my go to benchmark

[@LuisNapoles]

It's the ultimate benchmark ball for sure!

[@thesamsquatch5224]

Phase 2 is absolutely the GOAT and probably my favorite all time ball. I really like the jersey and the video! I'm curious even with it being banned where would you place Trend 2 in your arsenal? Obviously you have the big asym first. I have the nova second, wondering if phase 2 would work well? I'm working on a Zen currently as well

For me the T2 would be that ball I go to when I need to clear the fronts and SHOOT it into the friction

[@wabbit1699]

IDK, it looks like your timing is a shade late in the four-step. That was the main reason I went to the 5th step way back when, because it's a timing mechanism for me. But, whatever works for each bowler.

[@LuisNapoles]

timing is way better now with 4 form we

[@stevenholland5024]

I agree 100% I still throw my Phase that I bought 6 years ago, its pretty much burnt out and obviously it's not easy to buy balls continuously I will most likely purchase another one. Again I'm a high Rev slower speed bowler. Right around how your speed was in this Video when I'm right I'm just under 15 mph. But the phase 2 give me the most flexibility of anything I've thrown. Like you my biggest mistakes are when I leak it right and slow up. I love that I can miss in at 18 and it sits. Its absolutely the GOAT. Also I think your 4 step approach is better, I'm no coach but I do feel you have a up tick in speed and at times seem to be in better control at the line. Hopefully you can stick with it.

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea I def wanna stick with it

[@Bamm139]

Luis, I went to a proshop to inquire about drilling a Phaze 2, and because I have a Rubicon Solid, he said that he could sell me one, but my Rubicon should be doing the same thing. Said I should only buy one if I just had to have a Phaze 2. Your thoughts? (Love my IQ Tour Solid).

[@jasonsiegel3869]

Hey Louis... As always, GREAT VIDEO..!!! Now, just to point out a few things that I know and have seen... The Phaze 2 is (in my opinion) 1 of the 2 GOATS from Storm.. The other ball, correct me if I'm wrong... !Q Tour Solid.. 2 great balls, bar none.. And yes.. TX-16 on the P2, the only ball with it.. I think there are 2 or 3 overseas that use the TX-16 Coverstock.. But this is why I own 2.. Because one day, (hopefully I'm wrong) Storm will stop producing it.. then a lot of people will be upset.. But, thank you again for a great video.. Be well, Jason

[@LuisNapoles]

I really hope that day never comes!

[@adamabdelaziz4586]

I’m my opinion, the Phaze II is the best bowling ball that’s on the market apart from the IQ Tour cause for a ball that has a very strong cover and core it shapes a lot for a solid.

[@johnyarbrough9280]

Thank you for making this video And keep making videos like this this video is my favorite

[@LuisNapoles]

you're welcome@

[@adamabdelaziz4586]

I absolutely believe the Phaze II is the most versatile storm ball storm has ever created, my reasoning for that it has a strong cover, pretty big core, and he really likes to retain its energy longer and it goes through the pins the correct way.

[@LuisNapoles]

Hard agree!

[@Rollingwtheflow1]

Got my Phaze 2 a month ago. It has replaced my Phaze 4 as my favorite ball! Love It

[@LuisNapoles]

Sooooooo gooooooooood!

[@dust1905]

Definitely the most versatile. I was slow to the train getting one and I was definitely missing out. Pretty much my go to league ball 1st out. Would you find the the reality check to be a compliment when you need to get deep with angles? My center most likely has a broke lane machine and it seems to oil the outside boards basically into a flat pattern. So I there’s not as much friction outside to ball down into a rstx2 usually.

[@LuisNapoles]

Slow to the train is better than missing the train all together!

[@donthompson9862]

[@paulf4331]

Phaze II looks great. I have always felt while watching your videos for awhile now that you needed to work on your timing, but I am no coach. Always work towards increasing your game. Did storm change the cover at all during the whole USBC too soft/4k fast thing with this ball?

[@jayvallandingham2406]

The answer to your question is no...they've made no changes to this bowling ball.

[@LuisNapoles]

Nope!

[@deeelle6567]

The Phaze II is sexy! I've never thrown one, but so many bowlers have shown why it's such a solid pick. I currently have a Rubicon UC2 that I have yet to start using, but if I buy another ball the Phaze II is very tempting, but I'm torn between it and the Zen Pearl I know you're mostly a 1-handed bowler, but do you have any tips for a 2-handed bowler on how to keep the ball close to the body on the downswing and release close to the ankle? I've been bowling for a month and a half and the one thing I can't seem to fix is that on the downswing, my ball gets far from my body and on release, my ball is super far from my ankle which seems to totally mess with my control, ball speed, and balance

[@LuisNapoles]

Def wanna add one!

[@Christopher68Young]

The track stealth shapes just like p2 but imho from having both drilled almost identical the stealth reads the midlane stronger and sooner but with a few boards less the p2 coming off the spot

[@LuisNapoles]

Time will be the deciding factor there. P2 has been dominating for years

[@samuelmoss3894]

I mostly bowl on sport shots and I haven't thrown a Phaze 2 yet because I already have smooth symmetrical options like the Pro-Motion, Pitch Purple, and IQ Tour Nano Pearl. But the award for most versatile in my bag goes to the Ebonite Envision. Like the Phaze 2 it also comes out of the box a little dull for me, but as it shines or just adding polish the ball hooks a ton. It's also blue and red (maybe a theme), and a solid, but unlike the P2 the Envision has a little bit of asymmetry. I have one drilled pin in the ring, and am planning to get another one with a taller pin to handle carry down in tournaments. How do you think the P2 would handle carry down?

[@LuisNapoles]

You should def try the p2 then

[@ObjectiveEthics]

For me it's the UC3. Haven't thrown the P2 so I cannot compare them directly but I would love to see Lou do a comparison of the two.

The Phaze 2 sure blends it out well with my iQ tour solid which I love on the burn. For heavy oil, it’s a mix between my Physix or the Phaze 2. So I kinda have to agree with you on the Phaze 2 being the GOAT!!!

[@brandonhuggins1736]

Radical beyond ridiculous shapes lovely too for a symmetric solid.

Nice?

I bowl 16+ games a week (practice and 2 leagues) all year for approximately 800+ per year and I am still going strong with my Brunswick TPU's that I purchased 6/7 years ago. I noticed you have had four new sets of shoes in the last year......... 1 year ago SST6, 7 mo. ago SST Camos, 5 mo. ago 900G Blk/Orange, 2 weeks ago SST8's. That's a lot of shoes at $200+ a pop. Are they not holding up or what. Which have you liked the best and would recommend as a replacement for my TPU's when they finally wear out.

[@LuisNapoles]

I get new shoes every 6 months or so. I bowl a lot of games and want to make sure that my feet are SOLID lol and I dont pay that much for shoes 😉

[@timmcintyre5226]

@@LuisNapoles My dad bought top of the line bowling shoes in the mid 50's and bowled with them for 20 years. I've bowled with them for 47. 😃 Might go for a pair of Tour Ultra C's if they come out with a different color. Enjoy your videos!

[@joeanderson9267]

I have the Phazes 2-4, and my favorite is the 3 😁! However, I do like the versatility of the 2. I keep them both at 5500 or polished. The 3 for me goes longer and shapes better when I need it. However, the predictability of the 2 is what I like. Now... here's the question you should ask... if you only had 1 shot for 1 million dollars 💸 what ya throwing? Mines would be... Hy Road!

[@billycrowden34]

I’m throwing the 900 Global Reality for a million

[@tongue_twista7557]

Purple Hammer.

[@LuisNapoles]

For me would be either the P2 or !QTS

[@billycrowden34]

@@tongue_twista7557 not a hammer guy but the purple hammer has earned its spot as a all time great

Gotta go jackal legacy, even though its a very strong asym it has a super predictable and rounded shape personally (2 hander with 15-16 average speed with 450-500 rev rate)

[@brandonhon2532]

Hey Lou, when is league night coming back?

[@LuisNapoles]

2 weeks when we start back up!

[@ricka.wetselphdbowler3526]

I wished I had purchased the Phaze 2 as my benchmark ball. Instead, I bought the idol helios. I find the helios OK, but somewhat lazy in the backend for me. From what I have seen, the Phaze 2 is stronger and more continuous on the backend. Hopefully, I will be able to get a Phaze 2 in the near future.

[@jayvallandingham2406]

Lots of people have made your mistake...

[@LuisNapoles]

I hate the Helios LOL lots of people LOTS of people lol fall victim to the I NEED THE NEWEST ball when the P2 is the GOAT

[@jayvallandingham2406]

I have the Helios and it rarely makes it out of my bag...First 3 or 4 games were great then after that not so much...

[@jayvallandingham2406]

@@LuisNapoles I have the Helios and I have to agree with you on that...

[@iceberggslim22]

The Phaze 2 is without a doubt the best ball ever. I’m saying this and I have religiously thrown the Venom Shock, Hammer Black Widow OG, Jackal Ghost, IQ Tour Solid and Hy-Road Pearl. If you are looking for versatility, it can fit any bowler’s style, it can play on any pattern, it can shape the lanes, blend out the pattern and it’s a THS killer. The Phaze 2 is one of the 6 Infinity Stones of bowling balls.

[@LuisNapoles]

I’ve thrown all those balls and I agree with you

[@larrylacroix3944]

Never had one but a couple of bowlers have recommended it that I need this ball in bag

[@barrycarrillo61]

Very good statement

[@glenkamida9893]

Great video Luis ... if I have a Phaze II at the old out of box finish 1500, have a Zen Soul, and a Zen at the old 1500 out of box. Would a Cosmo be too much overlap? Where would the Cosmo fit?

[@LuisNapoles]

It would replace your soul

[@tdub5693]

Never had a P2 but I have a P3 and P4 the 3 was great but it quit on me like just stopped hooking.

[@LuisNapoles]

p2 is WWAAYY better!

[@BARBELLS-AND-BUDS]

What's the reason for having a ball and then drilling a new one of the same ball? Is it for different hand placement or is it because they wear out and polishing and or sanding the cover doesn't fix it ?

[@LuisNapoles]

so many different reasons. different layout maybe could be to have a fresh cover

[@rignizio]

i like the phazes 2 so much i just bought another one drilled the same way just to have incase. Luis did you get new shoes ?

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea I did!

[@glenkamida71]

Luis is it just me or do you make an effort to have your jersey match the ball you are throwing? 😆

Really liking your 4 step approach. Timing is so important. Looking for your opinion. I have dark code, nucelar cell, iq emerald, UC3, and electrify pearl. I'm considering phase II, RST X3 and reality check. I'd like to know your opinion. I could send you video of me bowling on fb messenger if you would like to see me throw it.

Still a work in progress but progress is progress!

[@davidmiller2732]

I did get to throw a phaze2 the one big reason it isn't in my bag is it reacted alot like my shock solid.....both solid balls

[@LuisNapoles]

Hmmmm I have the p2 way stronger than rhe shick

[@davidmiller2732]

@@LuisNapoles too bad you can't throw the shock solid against the p2, but at the same time because of some of your videos I've been branching out and kept a couple of motiv balls but picked up some storm and Brunswick brand stuff

[@brigham2250]

I think that there are a lot of great balls, but the real difference is the person throwing it. You put a Phaze II in my hands and while I will make a Belmonte-worthy shot here and there, nobody will be running to their pro-shop to get one for themselves. Now if I could just remember -- AND REPEAT -- how I threw that beautiful strike, maybe.

[@LuisNapoles]

repeating is the hardest part LOL
