This Is The STRONGEST Pearl Ball Of All Time | Roto Grip Exotic Gem

[@tackywacky99]

As a pro shop operator, ive been telling people for years that the brighter pigment balls seemed to always hook sooner and thats why i always threw darker balls. they all thought i was crazy. im glad it wasnt just me

[@KennyGrinols]

If you care about the science, it's because Bright Colors require a powder pigment, which you can imagine, creates a dryer, more porous, and abrasive finish. Whereas dark colors use liquid dyes, that don't add texture to the resin.

[@tackywacky99]

@@KennyGrinols sweet. Thank you

[@jimboscalawag8809]

A pso friend when i was drilling used to say the same. Black balls roll the best. And i said purple 😂🤙

[@Kidynamo123]

Oh, I thought this was just a bowling joke 😅

[@markbroad119]

What about two balls of the same name in two colors?

[@HawaiianPop]

What a great video, guys. I love the little clip of Jessie's son bowling so awesome. I can't wait to bowl with my new gem, but dang, this exotic looks fantastic. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

[@J002]

I second that. Topography is a huge thing I learned about it in college. If it was provided at tournaments, we studied it every time we moved pairs and at out home center as well

[@matte.613]

Happy thanksgiving brotha

[@Patrick-Gacusan]

How crazy as I just said last night “I need a really strong Pearl”

[@camchild1]

I cannot tell you how aggressive the exotic gem is. I’m 15 boards left of where I normally am because of how strong the backend is. Mind you, I generally use a sidewinder or a grudge pearl. This ball is INSANE!

[@markm4273]

It amazes me how many new bowling balls come out on the market. Seems like one every week. I see some people with 10-15 balls in their arsenal if not more. Back in the day I would use my plastic Carmel white dot as my strike ball and spare ball. Then I decided to get crazy and purchase a yellow dot. Of course it had to be the bleeder. Lol

[@coopergates9680]

How much less did it hook after most of that sticky stuff oozed out?

[@blackjack7811]

Happy Thanksgiving Darren.

[@kstark321]

Yeah, when I was at Vincennes in the early 2000s, Kegel came by and said topography is the highest weighted variable by far.

[@IronMaiden756]

Darren: I don’t create a lot of rev rate. Me: *You can time my rev rate with a sundial.*

[@coopergates9680]

Can your amount of hook be measured by lining up a few human hairs?

[@glenkamida71]

Happy Thanksgiving Darren Jesse and Familirs!

[@thesamsquatch5224]

This really is the strongest pearl on the market and really looks phenomenal!

[@_shilo0_]

Thank you for making a video on just this ball alone! I need this ball asap it's absolutely crazy!

[@mincastor3648]

The sound one strikes are so satisfying.

[@NTP0112]

So if it is that strong. It is probably not good for house shots right?

[@caseygrant636]

Is this a good first ball?

[@brianlopez9106]

Nice to see Mr.220 in the back

[@Attemptingtospare]

I'm still throwing a wrecker and an asylum. Both still work flawlessly. Shot some big games with them recently in league and tournaments.

[@ErlendBuflod]

The ball reminds me of the Haywire... Looks great!

[@chrisallen3671]

I can’t wait to get my hands on an rst x3. I really liked the defiant soul. If a hybrid version of the gym comes out, I’d be very interested in that as well. Ball prices are getting a little crazy these days.

[@KwonYoungForever]

Hey Darren, I just got my exotic gem drilled. I throw kinda similar to you. My pap is 4 13/16 and up 9/16. The pro shop guy drilled my ball with 20x4 1/4x55. Is that a good layout? On heavy oil 42ft lane, standing right and slower ball speed, it has very minimal hook. Not sure if it’s me or a wrong layout. Need help

[@EdTechGC]

Black Widow 3 vs exotic gem… how different are they and would you use both ?

[@austindaman757]

What is the comparison between the Gem, exotic gem, and magic gem?

[@jameslong9564]

The cover designators of pearl, solid and hybrid don’t matter anymore.

[@Wspre_]

Happy thanksgiving!

[@AndrewWarrenPatriotsfan]

I take it back on Exotic Gem. On your contest, I'm been putting in the Roto Grip Gem for ball I want. I'm actually looking to get a strong bowling ball for my next ball; however the Exotic Gem looks impressive.

[@brenthutchins7130]

I have the gem. Its an amazing ball. I used to be a very down and in bowler. But since that ball I've thrown more outside than i used to. Stand a little further left. Its helped my game alot. Love that ball.

[@FredrickNorris-g7c]

I recently got an exotic gem it was someone elses that my proshop operator re drilled for me naturally it was dull but that was perfect i love the ball i have the ball weaker than what i usually have and its still my strongest ball i have (sorry i dont know the exact numbers)

[@jeremysmallwood8631]

Another great video. So many ball options out there now.

[@akaNalyd]

was looking at the new hammer 3d offset attack recently for a strong asym pearl ball, but as a storm fan this ball looks intriguing too. I wonder how they compare

[@iceman5117]

There's the Polaris, innovator, and quantum evo pearl as well

[@coopergates9680]

Already have a volatility torque or parallax effect?

[@alanwarneke7100]

Would having the gem and exotic gem be good to have in ur bag at same time?

[@nathanchaffee2466]

Is there a certain ball you would prefer that is a decent price for heavier conditions?

[@scottythompson940]

Cool video talk tech bowling Darren tang

[@connorcorkery2855]

Looks amazing!, Making hard decisions now phase v or Gem or Exotic gem ball now, None in Australia where i'm at :(

[@Fishing_Fiddles]

Really depends what you have in the bag. Phase V would fit nicely with the exotic if you bowl on a pattern that burns up or cliffs fast. I could see a situation where oil is heavy and pushes a lot where I would start with exotic, then go to phase V to mellow out a bit then move back left with urethane.

[@jasonheinzen1125]

The colors remind me of a cross between the Defiant Soul and the Haywire. It's really pretty.

[@TemptedTrigger]

great vid as always, can you please do a league night using only the Fate?

[@JSBowling2011]

The ball is coming out December 9 not December 14

Where would this be compared to the infinite physix and super nova

[@bradonbatten6169]

Ik there not even comparable but please compare the exotic gem vs iron forge

[@glennandersen5949]

Happy thanksgiving! Would the exotic gem be a better option on the fresh or when the lanes start to transition?

[@iceman5117]

Fresh or heavy carrydown. Asym is going to flare more and earlier than an asym

[@AussiePillow1]

So does lofting create permanent changes in lane topography?

[@vincentnovak5324]

Hello, I currently throw a show off 15lb ball. I need some help deciding between this ball, proton physics, or a black widow in 16lb. I throw around 15 mph and start on right side with medium curve. Not sure which ball to buy. Thanks

[@Warden033]

Why move up to 16? You're already not that high of a ball speed. Seems foolish.

[@memyself1670]

I went to tryout day where I am. Didn't completely find the exotic gem for me. Top ones for me on just a house shot, reality check and zen u just had the back end movement I liked. Phaze 5 was cool but I am not good enough to roll it the way it needs. Fate was great just a bit stronger than I need. Rolled the X3 again just didn't have the backend motion I liked. After talking to rep there and pro shop. I have a low rev rate and I want a ball to do more work for me. I chose the Reality check.

[@JLC1019]

How does this compare to the Infinite Physix?

[@willjames6437]

I'm afrade to buy any more balls from storm so do I need to keep 8n a bag?are not they dried when I buy them or did I git bad mix,,need some help here, pro shop said storm want do anything to make it right.

I echo that sentiment. Nuke Cell and Rubicon have been doing quite well for me over the last two years. Every time I add a new ball, in hopes of finding a new #1 out of my bag, I end up going back to the Nuke.
