Storm Absolute Power vs Virtual Energy Blackout! Which Bowling Ball Is BEST?!

[@Drumyke]

First! Had my VEBO for a few months, it's a beast!

[@VVenDiesel300]

Yo Luis! Bro, I gotta give it to you. Your game looks really good right now, your pace looks quicker and absolutely fixed a lot of your issues especially the hitch in your swing. Your launch angle and accuracy looks so much more consistent too. Great work brotha.

[@LuisNapoles]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that!

[@chadjosephbowler]

Absolutely love the Vebo. I actually got this ball from a friend in my ome league cuz he didnt like how aggressive it was down lane. So got it off him cheap and since then which was a fee weeks ago ive been averaging around 230s in all 3 of my leagues. Just an amazing ball that i go to when P2 starts getting flat or sloppy!

[@LuisNapoles]

I appreciate that!!

[@KennyGrinols]

Just bought the Summit Peak through your affiliate link. I used to rotate between you and Luke, but now that he's no longer with Storm, you get all my SPI purchases. Keep up the good work Luis!

[@LuisNapoles]

Awesome, thank you! I really appreciate that

[@andrewcs29]

Surprised you like the VEBO so much with how similar it is to the dark code!

[@thomasworrilow4228]

I loved my dark code, but it was rounder than the VEBO. VEBO offers a more definitive move off the spot, but that's really the only difference between the 2. And after saying that, dark code was prob my favorite asymmetrical ball ever, till I got the VEBO in my hands.

[@atifsheikh3744]

I have the Absolute; looking to purchase the Absolute Power but now that I see this I maybe looking into the VEBO as well.

[@addictedTobowling]

I have the Vebo and it’s my favorite ball. My pick for 2023 Ball of The Year. Keep up the awesome videos

[@LuisNapoles]

It was up there for me

[@reesepludwick1315]

A lot of the other Bowling, KZbinrs do this, so I don’t want you to think that I’m advising that you change to the trend, but from my perspective in point of view, having an angle in which you can see the ball closer up and see how it rolls, how it reads,and how it skids is super nice. Just a suggestion or thought, not necessarily something I’m saying, you have to do an order to be successful.

[@joshuaberrelez1026]

I agree! JR Raymond does a good job at this. He is probably the only one that has a good camera angle for ball motion.. but i still like Luis’s videos more. But it would make your videos so much better!

[@UhKimboze]

@@joshuaberrelez1026 Agreed I really like how JR does it as well as Darren Tang with the graphics on screen and slowmo.

[@russellbauer8299]

Have vebo. My fav ever. Just got summit peak. Havent used yet. Hard to imagine Ill like it better. Thanks

[@LuisNapoles]

It’s all situational

[@joeanderson9267]

I put 4000 on my VEBO and I love it. I have 2 Journeys so one I will keep polish on, and the other with 4k. I'm looking for a Zen Soul replacement and I thought the Absolute Power might be close?

[@ianhoneycutt3858]

Nooooooo the Absolute power is waaaay stronger. Tbh I'd go with either the Xponent solid or Sublime for a replacement, since the Sublime is a much better Hybrid (and you can drill it to be smoother if needed) and the Xponent is early, smoother, and controllable

[@dust1905]

Xponent and phaze 2 would be your zen soul replacement

[@LuisNapoles]

Go with the Xpoemnt

[@reesepludwick1315]

Man it looks like your steps, timing, and ball speed are all way faster. Shot looks super smooth. keep up the awesome work.

[@BRB33]

Great video! Learning a lot from your videos. Did adding surface to the vebo make it a little less of the sharp angle shape down lane. For me i feel like it’s just a little to sharp and was wondering if I changed the surface to 4000 grit like you did if this would help or if you had a different suggestion. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@LuisNapoles]

Yup!!

[@jbin2756]

What would you recommend as a step up from the vebo currently. Something that you can start on like 25 to 27 first game league if tje vebo is alittle late.

[@chrisrichardson4984]

I have the original Virtual energy....loved that ball......updated equipment with the Ruby IQ and the VEBO.....Love this one two punch.......i still carry to OG Virtual Energy just in case...lol.....Thought about the absolute power, but VEBO works better for my game...a tweener shot...

[@LuisNapoles]

That was such a good one’

[@larrylacroix3944]

I have the current absolute and it is a good ball Low speed low rev 75 year old averaging around 160 wanting to be better been bowling for thirty plus years and last two years average has really dropped. I am constantly working on spare work because I know that will help average but Pso has me in tour dynam x, absolute , and iq ruby. Just not sure that is correct set up but he is very adamant about it Thinking of going to Hammer to get away from him being so adamant about the set up. I know you can’t really help but any suggestions as far as bowling bag setup

[@LuisNapoles]

He shouldn’t be forcing balls on ioi like that

[@topthrilldragster20]

Just shot my 2nd 800 and highest series with the VEBO!!

[@LuisNapoles]

Lets gooooo! What did you shoot?

[@G4zzzzz]

There are so many great balls out right now, and I can only imagine how many more will be released this year. Hard to see the need for another. The Absolute Power appears to me to fall somewhere between the Magic gem and the DNA which are my go to balls for league play. They are handling all the changes of the lane by making simple moves, hand adjustments and speed. Averaging 218 with out even pulling out any my other 8 ball options. If I start playing more tournaments I might get the 78 U unless something new that is better is released.

[@LuisNapoles]

Yea I would agree where you placed it

[@aaronspringborn34]

Great video Luis as always. Here’s my question of the day for you. What is your current bowling ball Arsenal for tournaments/league? And why are you still using the phase II the IQ tour solid, and some of the classics?

[@adamabdelaziz4586]

[@ibpsupplyman]

Great video as usual Lou. In the opening minute or two of your video, looked like someone was enjoying a little swig out of one of those mini bottles of liquor ... also cool was the escalators behind you .... gosh why doesn't my lil' 8 lane center have them ?? lol. As to the Vebo and the Absolute Power .... I am going with the Absolute Power to compliment the Absolute I have. I remember you saying you didn't match up well with the Absolute ... but for me, it's been a hell of a ball. I also have the Journey and waiting for the day Belmo puts his name on a Assym ball, maybe the next one ???

[@LuisNapoles]

I wish!!!

[@zackoakes6382]

Great vid as always, you were talking improvement at the start and was wondering is you heard about the new Mark Baker video he just dropped, think it was $75 for it. Just looking to get you or someone else’s unbiased opinion on the subject.

[@BigDangerous311]

It's funny because I bought the vebo a few months ago and initially didn't have much success with it. I finally gave it a fair chance last week basically forcing myself to stick with it for at least the first two games. First game I rolled a 180 and by the 4th or so game of my six game practice I found it hard to want to switch to anything else I had. 😅 That vebo ball is just amazingly good! Think it may have replaced my Eternity as my go to asym ball.

[@LuisNapoles]

It was a good one for sure!

[@BigDangerous311]

I have a regular Eternity and I felt like the Vebo was a touch stronger than it. @@LuisNapoles

[@nevinkinzel]

I love seeing the snappy backend of the VEBO but the Absolute Power would fit my game better if I needed another ball.

[@LuisNapoles]

It’s smart to identify that!

[@Chris-xu6gi]

How does the absolute power compare to the summit and DNA?

[@LuisNapoles]

In between the two

[@GorgonOfZola]

Vebo drove hard through the pocket from far left and clearly had more room to adjust. Power looked good but didn't drive through the deck at the same spot. I'm torn while considering both for that deep ball.

[@LuisNapoles]

VEBO is soooo good lol

[@ac2561]

I like the vebo. Except when it leaves me splits, lol. Definitely cant miss left with it. I haven't had much luck with it on fresh but im still working on my technique, still learning

[@LuisNapoles]

I love any ball till it splits lol

[@MICAHCARRIER]

Is this a ball that could be good on fresh? Or should I prefer the Absolute Power

[@hersheljones9467]

Were they both at a 4000 finish

Yes

How much surface on the Vebo ? Might have missed it.
