[@Jackal_Blitz]

I think this is the first time I've ever heard a ball reviewer say that a ball is so similar to another. Most reviewers seem to try to exaggerate minute differences just to sell more balls. Props for honesty 🤘

[@on1st]

Really enjoyed this video. Your style is very informative. I look forward to future post

[@Mikey-1990]

I completely agree with your advice on avoiding overlap. I remember when I first started bowling league and tournaments a long time ago, I basically stacked my bag with all strong asym pieces. When I couldn't move anymore, I realized I had nothing to ball down to. It's not a good feeling when you're only on game three of a five game set, and everything is becoming way too early. Now having a much better understanding of ball statistics and knowledge of the game, I have a much better progression in my arsenal. As for surface, it depends on what ball it is. I'll usually refresh it after a couple of sets, unless my stuff gets really marked up from the lanes, which thankfully isn't too frequent. Pearls I'll polish every nine games or so to keep consistency, and solids I'll do just when lane shine starts to become noticeable. My og Idol is overdue for a complete resurface lol.

[@rowanian4197]

JUNGO'S Back!!! O vid not start yet... ur vidz always have kick ass sound effects!!! To who conducts the sound keep it up

[@CurtisL8.3066]

I’ve started to really like keeping a lot of reactive stuff I use for house shots at like 3-4K on a spinner. They don’t really get more angular, they just go longer. Sometimes I just need stuff to lay a little bit on house. On sport shots, I like most of my stuff dusty as possible. I need more traction, and backends are almost always super clean for lefties, so I don’t want anything to jerk downlane. Low surface grits keep that in check for the most part.

[@austinwilliams4873]

should do a video on the best hybrid ball of the ones that are current.

[@ztxzap3955]

Lets go, I'm excited for the storm incite..... :)

[@mattzegarelli9658]

I re surface fairly often almost weekly but I also put a ball spinner in my basement👍

[@leegreenontheair2285]

Every 3 to 6 games especially before and after league competition

[@joshiebaseball2206]

I freshen up the surfaces when the ball starts to get a little lane shine on it

[@mikeross2809]

Usually refresh cover every 10-20 games. Depends on how bad lanes are beating cover up. Local lanes tend to have a bit of garbage that comes back on balls.

[@Mikey-1990]

I was bowling a tournament back in 2019, at an alley I've never been to before. It's about 45 mins south from my home alley in Connecticut. Same company Bowlero, but oh my god the conditions of the lane were BAD. I remember I threw my very first ball with my og Idol in practice, and it came back completely caked in some kind of rubber goop it was ALL over the ball. Everyone else in adjacent lanes were having the same issues. I brought the attention to the tournament director, and he gave me permission to have the pro shop give it a quick sanding and cleaning. Went back, threw it again, same thing but this time there was a chunk taken out by the thumb hole. Approaches were horribly sticky and marked up too. Packed up my stuff and left. Ended up filing a claim to have them replace my Idol but never heard back. Won't be going there ever again. I'm lucky my home house takes care of their lanes, because that was infuriating.

[@BentheBowler]

I change the surface before tournaments and after 2 nights of league. At league the balls look best between 3000 and polished.

[@BenjaminT.Raleigh]

In the words of the wise JUNGO "Wow"

[@harleybraden]

I clean my ball but I am not confident enough to change the surface yet. Fairly new still been about 2 1/2 months. Getting really into it though.

[@donkeydiehard879]

I was the same way. the good thing is the pro shop can bring it close to box finish if you booger it up. If you are bowling house shots you won't likely need to change surface unless you have really high revs. However, you will want to re create surface every 10 or so games. With lane oil and rolling most balls are above 4200 grit after 10 games. Abralone and creating the difference sell packs of 5 or 6 different pads. I prefer C.T.D. my self. Seem to last longer. If nothing else nice to be able to keep balls at a consistent finish. After all, consistency is everything in bowling.

[@malliepennington9828]

Can you do a video on resurfacing back to box finish for a polished ball?

[@thatloudCG5]

I'd still get both the RST-X1 and Incite for traction purposes. The R4S might run into a bottle of polish.

[@BAMaher]

The Incite kinda reminds me of the Snap Lock a little bit, maybe I’ll use it to replace mine

[@jonathantiffany797]

I just got a set of abralon pads and the most use they've gotten so far is taking my hustle ink down to 2k grit. i should be taking the balls back to box finish at the end of every week, but i dont lol

[@astronoman2628]

I think you guys should show the graph of your opinion on hook potential every time you introduce a ball in the video so we know what area of the graph you're comparing too, especially since we may not remember each ball. Would give a visual aid on top of the actual numbers you show. Plus adding new balls to the graph (even if they aren't on there permanently) at the end of video for a visual show of how you think it performed.

[@RyanLandreneau]

They did this for older videos. But I agree it’s a helpful visual aid.

[@jrproshop]

Sounds like we should add it back in

[@astronoman2628]

@@jrproshop I have seen it in older videos, and while I know it wasn't an official graph (it was your opinion) it would certainly help as people watch more and more of your videos and your review arsenal grows. Stats are cool and all but I'm no pro, and I always bowl better when my league places my team closer to the bar ;) Thought the graph was extremely unique to your channel too, really makes you guys stand out (not like you need it... Y'all are a great team to watch)

[@clowny2396]

Thought I'd pick up a Rubicon UC2, but they're back ordered. Considered options and placed an order for the Incite. Lately I bring the Venom Shock and Axiom Pearl plus a Hy-Road and maybe an Electrify Hybrid. I'm hoping that the Incite will find a place in my ball bag along with a spare ball. Starting to look better and better. Won't have excuses... :)

[@jrproshop]

That'll work nicely as an asymmetrical option for you

[@darthmaul7428]

I've just used the ball cleaner at the alley. I have used the same ball for 7 years lol never put more surface on it.

[@ginozavarelli5615]

[@jmainel123]

Another great vid guys. I notice your drill pattern is fairly basic pin up center with the finger holes...was this just because these are fairly aggressive balls to keep them fairly tame?

[@jrproshop]

Actually the opposite, they are drilled quite aggressive

[@austinschick4359]

You guys should’ve compared it to the parallax, since they’re both hybrid asymmetric balls

[@jrproshop]

Good point, parallax effect, parallax and incite maybe for the next one

[@aliyassargento775]

I resurface mine before a tournament or when I think I need to change it

[@tylerdrehs1816]

YO JUNGO!!! If my arsenal is parallax effect, axiom Pearl, proton physics, IQ Nano Pearl. How would the incite complement the Arsenal? Or would you say it does not fit?!

[@zdhome5727]

Honest question: Whats the deal with Storm / Rotogrip? They are like... the same company? But they release a ball under one brand name, then later release an almost identical one under the other name? Also, how do bowing ball patents work? Why do we need so many companies making balls when surely we could cover every possible motion with just one brand?

[@Barksbowling]

Great question. As I’m part of the Brunswick family of brands, and we have 7 different ball brands, I get this question a lot. The easiest way I can explain it is that each brand is marketed towards a different personality type, different level of bowler, etc. Certain ball names and colours are better suited to a certain brand. But each brand needs its own lineup of balls from top to bottom, as there are bowlers who are very brand loyal, and will only buy Roto Grip, or only Storm, but not both. So yes, there is sometimes some overlap. Definitely talk to your pro shop operator any time you’re considering a new ball, just to be sure you don’t get the same type of ball reaction as a ball you currently have.

[@robinbargo4417]

I am looking for one asymmetrical ball. Am I better off with the omega crux or Incite. I have the Phase 2 and Axiom Pearl. I want a more prominent move in ball reaction.

[@eddiecoupe5449]

Question, is the omega crux like the proton physics?

[@tdub5693]

[@phantoMpikachu]

normally once a week or right before a tournament is when i resurface

[@MrDreday510]

Hi Jungo, Dre here lol. I’d say about twice a week depends on how much I practice and league nights. I never changed them though, always back to box finish. Great video as always good sir. I’m currently fighting between the Proton and the Omega. Favorites are currently Idol synergy, Idol, and the IQ tour. I fight between them all but feel I need a “bigger” ball. What’d you say sir?

[@MrDreday510]

I am leaning towards to proton now that I think about it for the earlier read lol.

[@jrproshop]

Hey Dre. Haha yea just depends what kind of reaction you want. If you want early and smooth, proton, if you like a little more snap and have the option to polish it easier then the omega, can't make a bad choice though! Haha

[@chriswebbtech]

Reminds me of Gravity Evolve I throw

[@jefftennant218]

I probably resurface too often. I noticed my axiom pearl needs a lot of maintenance. I need to freshly polish it every 6 games and I’m not throwing it in the friction either to burn it off either. Lol

[@ginozavarelli5615]

Back to box 3000

[@FSUSean2112]

ive been bowling for 19 years and honestly im still new to the aberlon pads and stuff, i keep up with my balls on cleaning like having cleaners, reacta clean/shine, monster tac and monster polish but ive never used a aberlon pad, i could but i just keep all the balls at box finish, but im only bowling league right now and a few tournaments here and there. but are the aberlon pads just easy to put on and when you need polish you just get out ur stuff and spray?

[@jrproshop]

Yep very easy, just like wiping your ball with cleaners except it has some teeth to it to bring that surface back to what you want as every time you throw a ball down the lane it's going to pick up some oil and start to 'lane shine'

[@williamreeher4433]

This question is for anyone. What can I do to the surface to get a little more backend. Thank you.

[@jrproshop]

Polish will give you the most skid flip reaction

[@jonathantiffany797]

Leaning towards the incite as the ball that replaces my omega. Good idea? Bad idea?

[@jrproshop]

Yep that's a good idea! Just keep in mind though that the incite has a just a slightly weaker core and cover

[@crimsontide1980]

I've been out of the bowling game for about 3 years. After deciding to get back into it, I started going through all my equipment and had to throw out 4 bowling balls that had cracked even though they were stored inside my house. One of the casualties was my go to for medium-heavy oil, my Hyper Cell Fuse, which was a beast of a ball, little busted up over that one, pun intended. Anyways, looking for something comparable, and I've been out of the loop as far as ball releases since 2019. I'm thinking something with a hybrid coverstock and asymmetrical core. Ironically the RST-X1 is the ball that has been suggested to me by my local pro shop. I'm guessing Storm Incite is just the parallel version of this? Guess either one would be a good fit for me? Generally I haven't fared too well with dull surfaces though, that's my one worry. Any other possible suggestions ? UFO Alert?

[@jrproshop]

The UFO Alert would actually be the closest current line ball to the Hyper Cell Fused. Similar core strength with an updated version of the same hybrid coverstock. The RST X-1 would be a little bit stronger than the Alert and the Fused.

[@crimsontide1980]

@@jrproshop Yea I've been looking at the specs and very similar asymmetrical core and updated coverstock with same 1500 grit polished coverstock. May get this or may just upgrade to the RST X-1, if it reads too early could always just get it polished up 🤷‍♂️

But in the end, if your sanding pad has material on it, that is basically the ball LOL. I'd resurface or do mild resurfacing if your track needs work or polishing, etc. Otherwise, cosmetically, I leave my stuff the way it is (always keep them clean after league).
