Storm Infinite Physix Ball Review! Legit Reminds Me Of An ALPHA CRUX!

[@clutions]

Ok, Just threw my Infinite for the first time Friday for two games one a DRY DRY lane. They hadn't oiled it from the previous day yet. 174 & 187! Had been throwing an Astro and carrying a 160+ average (I'm 78 years old tweener).. Had to throw it on the 3-4 board and had a smooth roll all the way through. Couldn't believe it! Have great hope for this thing. Nice video!

[@LuisNapoles]

Thanks! Yea this ball is nuts!

[@alexanderbreen4010]

Really interesting that it’s earlier and smoother than the Dark for you, everyone else I’ve seen throw it so far has it shaping more than the Dark

[@LuisNapoles]

I'll def know more when I throw them side by side!

[@jvmiller1995]

It could be some in the layout. That and we all have different rev rates. Luis is on the lower end compared to some other channels. In fact that is why I watch him. He his rev rate is more along what mine is. He even has a few revs on me but is the most close to match my style. I mean except the fact he strike more often. LOL

[@donkeydiehard879]

@@jvmiller1995 beef stu talked about it in his review with Luke Rosdahl. The dark code can be a COMPLETELY different ball if you have an inch different pin length. Also important that both the dark code and infinite are at the same surface. If dark code is shiny it will obviously effect the amount of shape.

[@jvmiller1995]

@@donkeydiehard879 Yes I would agree PAP tp pin makes a difference on most all most all balls but especially noticeable on balls with a lot of flare potential. That and like you said surface is the easiest way to change the roll on a ball. Dull ball hooks up faster and will be more of a early arc or smoother motion. Shiny polished up balls wait late and turn late hard. I have had several balls I just can not throw at the factory finish. Instead of giving up or selling them cheap to someone I will change the surface. ( I have purchased a lot of cheap almost new balls and spend 20 bucks to plug the holes and do what ever I want) Luis told me to get a jackal ghost about a year ago. So I did, but on our house shot it just was not in play for me. It was breaking way to soon. I thought I just threw away 200 bucks. I had my guy polished it up. Man it is a whole new ball!! 😲 In fact I rolled my first 300 last month with it. I will never give up that ball. I am thinking of buying another incase mine splits for some unknown reason. 😆

[@Codyschmitt900]

Damn man, I was gunna drill mine pin down, but you’re making the pin up look REALLY good!

Wow! What even the hell? This ball is amazing! So super smooth and controlled but goes through the pins like a runaway freight train! I have honestly not seen ball motion this good from any ball made today from any company. You literally could play all over the lane with it effortlessly. Even I, a urethane junkie, was salivating watching it. But Lou, does it smell horrible? Is the scent strong and gross? Some Storm balls I simply cannot own because they smell like super strong cheap perfume or bad cologne.

[@LuisNapoles]

I was thinking “wtf” the whole time filming this ball lol the scent is definitely not overwhelming!

@@LuisNapoles I will try to get to the pro shop and take a sniff. 😉 It's sad that with Storm balls, the sniff test is the final deciding factor of ownership... 🤦‍♂

Alpha Crux vs Infinite Physix?

[@rb8999]

I wish they would have gone a little weaker on the cover formula. Something more in the range of NRG Pearl/GI-15/R3X. I think the Reality Check will overshadow this ball

My proshop is good and just had mine drilled up last night. Unfortunately it was done too late to use in league. I think it smells like a berry or something. Others were thinking root-beer and different berries.

[@LuisNapoles]

Oh nice lucky you! I hope you love it !!

[@SubZero0127]

Funny how I see so many 7 and 10 pins left when a bowler stays posted like a statue at the line until the ball hits the pins. For some reason, I think more power is generated when you pitch it and step off a little, like a baseball pitcher. May not always be perfectly consistent stepping off but I think it’s more powerful. Any thoughts?

[@notonyourlife7939]

All the power in the world won't help you if you're constantly off balance at the line, because that will produce nothing but inconsistencies with your release and your ability to reliably hit your mark. You could throw it 40 mph, but if you're nowhere near the pocket the speed won't help you.

[@LuisNapoles]

For me I would rather be consistent every shot than maybe generate a little more power if that makes sense. Think Norm Duke he doesnt have a little of power or rev rate and is still the GOAT!

[@donkeydiehard879]

Uh no... Pitching most importantly is a vector relative to a bowling balls path. A baseball only has the force of gravity to deal with. A bowling ball has the force of gravity pushing down, the force of the lane surface pushing up, the coefficient of friction of the lane surface, coefficient of friction with oil, coefficient of friction of the bowling ball and that's without talking about variants associated with rotation and moment of inertia for each bowling ball/bowler. Pitching is about leverage, doesn't involve a 15lb ball and using gravity rather than muscle tension to optimize effectiveness. I think you are mistaking power for velocity/speed. They're definitely not the same. Will you be able to have a higher velocity? Sure. Will you have more EFFECTIVE power? No. I can throw my ball 23mph at the headpin everytime, similar to a pitcher hitting a target but what good is that if it doesn't strike? That's not powerful, that's relatively high velocity. Speed is useless, in bowling, without consistency. If your goal is to be a sub 200 or low 200 bowler, focus on speed and not consistency. Power comes from the legs, ball motion and everything working in time together. Consistency comes from being balanced, using gravity, exiting the ball properly and everything working in time together. Power and consistency both will benefit from everything being in time together. If everything is in time together it's honestly really hard to fall off balance. If I consistently hit my mark, with good ball motion I will transfer more EFFECTIVE power to the pins at 14mph than 23mph. The best bowlers in the world post their shot, I'd say they have plenty of power and speed. That's not by accident.

[@chadsmolek7336]

i love the dark code i have none of problems u say u do

[@LuisNapoles]

Lucky you!

[@aaronspringborn34]

Luis how are you? It’s been a while I’m catching up a little bit here. I know you’ve done a lot of comparison videos but I do not think you can paired the following three together in one video the infinite physixs, the proton physixs and the supernova. I just re-watched all three of your original Bob reviews of them. They all have a little bit of similarities, but correct me if I’m wrong on my observations, I think the supernova seems the strongest. It seems the earliest with more shape the proton I think is still pretty darn strong, but a little more continuous, but I will say this the infinite maybe it’s the darkness of the ball, but it looks so much smoother and continuous Down Lane I thought it was a symmetrical ball like the phase II honestly, I want your thoughts on that if you’re able to compare those three that be awesome I think two of them. If not, all three of them are discontinued. I don’t have any of them because I have a limited budget. The only ball I have, since I just started bowling more regularly is the IQ tour solid. If you can compare those three balls in a video eventually if you still have them that would be superior. Thank you take care.

[@forgottencrown9776]

Louis, what is your opinion on using the infinite on drier lanes? With it being a higher surface cover with no teeth underneath and no compound on the cover, I think it’ll be better than most strong asyms on drier lanes. Would love to know your opinion and thoughts on this.

[@its_Kris]

I have a feeling this ball is going to be special.

[@LuisNapoles]

Time will tell ! Let’s not get on the hype train! But it definitely has a chance

[@tylergotberg4571]

This ball looks absolutely amazing... im torn between it and the zen soul. Which do you think is best for a house shot?

[@notonyourlife7939]

Either one will be effective on a house shot... but likely at different times, depending on your ball speed, rev rate, etc, and how chewed up the pattern is. One is a symmetrical hybrid, and the other an asym pearl, so they're gonna shape differently no matter what pattern you're throwing them on. It boils down to what you like to see, and what works best for you on a given condition.

[@LuisNapoles]

On a house shot its a flip of a coin as I see both of these being very versatile!

Hola Luis 👋🏻👋🏻 can you compare the infinite Physix with the obsession tour or obsession tour pearl. Do you think they have similarities?. Saludos 👍🏻

[@LuisNapoles]

Hola! So I can’t do that comparison because I’m on 900 Global staff but seeing that I’ve thrown all three of those balls I can tell you that the obsession tour is weaker and smoother than the infinite and the pearl is gonna be weaker and more angular than the infinite Physix

[@superneni31]

Gracias Luis 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@atlkj55]

Looks good, thinking about pairing this Infinite Physix possibly pin down with polish with my Dark Code 4K fast(bowls well for me striking thru the pin deck) to have a similar motion as the top two options in my bag. Any thoughts about using a pin down to create some space between the two? Rev Rate is about 315 matched with speed so basically a tweener style bowler. Perform better when I keep it straight but learning to move left more and more and be able to swing the lane when needed.

[@LuisNapoles]

I think it can def help!

[@kirtmorose]

If I remember correctly don't you have an Aplha Crux you can compare it to?

This ball looks stupid in such a good way. I love the dark code and proton so this being both of those together is nice. Hoping it works out for me too since I am getting one. The smell to me is always a little different too lol I got almost like fruity pebbles or like a blueberry muffin type smell. Still a good smell. I didn't get any orange though. My rep here told me that it's called mystery scent because everyone says something different though.

[@rickcole4495]

With being older and new to all the numbers, 30/4/30. Like the motion. How does ball speed affect these numbers. Would guess you at about 16 mph. I am in low 14, would I keepsame layout or adjust. Please give suggestions, thanks

[@LuisNapoles]

The characteristics of the layout will still be the same. But you gotta remember that the core doesn’t touch the lane the cover does so layout isn’t going to be as influential as the surface prep. That’s why I drill everything the same

I love my Nova but there are times its just not enough ball. I'm wondering if the infinite would be a good ball to start with when the Nova can't quite cut it. I've also considered the Proton but I think that will be too much ball most of the time in my house shot.
