For such a young man, you have really helped as a 72 year old, 180 average bowler. I have both balls and I tend to use the Pitch Black more often because I can control the pocket. Don't ALWAYS carry, but I still feel more comfortable with the Pitch Black. I'm practicing shooting 10 pins with a straight wrist instead of buying a plastic ball.

As Accurately mentioned in the video, these are the two most popular urethane balls in THE LAST DECADE. "Maybe ever" only speaks to their future potential. Those fast pitch balls are urethane/reactive blends, and not all urethane. This was a good comparison video for Rev dominant bowlers to consider.

Would love for Jimoo to show/explain or tell his layouts on these balls. As I have a similar approach and release this would be very beneficial to know for a noob to urethane. Love the channel! Thanks fellas
@Jackal_Blitz2 жыл бұрын
Layouts don't matter nearly as much as covers on the average ball, and it's even less so on urethane. Urethane balls (typically) have pretty weak, low-flaring cores, so you're not going to see any significant difference between layouts. I'm not saying layouts don't matter, but they're not worth overthinking on urethane.

32 years ago, I got my first HP ball, which was the Faball Blue Hammer. I was 15 at the time barely with a 160 average. First game out of the box was a 256. 3 weeks later, I picked up the Faball Blue Pearl Hammer. Best 1-2 combination I ever had. That Blue Hammer, 300 game and all, is still in my bag, to be replaced when my new favorite urethane ball either comes stateside or is found at a good price: Black Widow Purple Pearl Urethane.

I don't have a purple or pitch black. I have two urethane options. Both pearls. First one out of my bag I hit with 360 right away. And that's my early 90s Retro C300 U2 pearl. My second option is a little newer from the mid 2000s. The C300 Trooper. It's also a pearland I put that on a resurfacing machine with the CTD p5000d pad for about 8 minutes. Much cleaner without polish. Those are my options. I have a Radical Spy but haven't thrown it yet to ball down even further.

This thing seems to love friction and almost ignore oil - im not super consistant on release placement, i can miss 5left and it'll still carry brooklyn. 10/10 love as my first urethane.
