Top 5 Must Have Bowling Balls!

[@alexismendoza6972]

Those transition shots where the balls appear on the table are SO CLEAN!!!

[@LuisNapoles]

Thanks for that! I def working on them! Far from perfect but we getting there!

[@knep24]

Storm has a great symmetric line, hy-road/hy-road pearl, iq tour, phaze ii, zen, and hustle camo are all amazing balls.

[@LuisNapoles]

Agreed withthagt!

[@deeelle6567]

Luis supporting his fellow KZbinrs. Always a stand-up guy I wasn't expecting you to make the Infinite Physix a must-have, but I've had my eyes on it since I started bowling last year! Phaze II is going to be my next buy for sure (prob tied w/ the IQ Tour Solid). I bought a Zen back in Dec and have not allowed myself to use it until my monthly avg hit 140 or hit 200 in a game -- managed to do both so now I get to use the legendary Zen :D

[@LuisNapoles]

Its just to versatile to not include it in the list which is why it came in at number 6 !

[@jdawg85379]

I would agree with you on the IQ as I purchased my first one in January and bowled my first 800 series with it.

[@LuisNapoles]

Thats awesome! LFG!

[@lilaznartstyluz]

I agree with most of the balls. I have the iQ tour solid, Zen & the Phaze 2. Unbelievable bowling balls!!! My favorite is the iQ tour solid. It’s been my safety net whenever I’m lost in transition. Love the shape and gives me much confidence.

[@LuisNapoles]

Couldn't agree more!

[@kickstandkurt9698]

I have a Zen and RSTx-1 looking to add IQtour to the arsenal

[@gravymoat]

I agree on the Eternity, but may be biased bc I shot my first 600 series and high game (278) this week for league straight out of the box. I average 160, so I felt like I had superpowers haha.

[@LuisNapoles]

WOW! Thats seriously amazing! Sometimes we match top with balls!

[@quanttumflare7659]

This is how tier lists should be. Obviously, you can't do this with every ball. Having the best of the best visualized really helps.

[@LuisNapoles]

I'm glad you liked it!

[@user-ql4id9zz7q]

Great review. I appreciate your opinion and comments. Looking forward to an updated version in 2024.

[@LuisNapoles]

I appreciate that!

[@bobbybearbowling]

Good list. Phaze 2 my number 1 and Zen 2. Now I will purchase an IQ Tour solid out of curiosity. Im not much of a tournament bowler so dont need the depth. Luis continues to be one of my favorites on KZbin.

[@LuisNapoles]

Thanks for that! I hope you end up loving the Tour Solid!

[@TheHype-Bowling]

I appreciate the shoutout bro!!!

[@LuisNapoles]

I got you man! I believe in the rising tide lifts ALL ships and I hope you get to a billy!

[@Mulelicious]

Great list. I never could get the Infinite to work for me. I would probably have put Reality solid in there.

[@LuisNapoles]

Fair enough!

[@alexanderbreen4010]

Man, agree with most of it, but I always have to have a Reality in my bag, I don’t go anywhere without one, think it’s probably the best asym solid on the market right now and it might be the best one ever made period, just my opinion though

[@Mulelicious]

I REALLY like the Eternity but at the last moment I bought a Reality solid. Don't tell Luis 🙂

[@lt8473]

Is it better then the p2 I was think of getting on I have the p2 I heard they where similar?

[@LuisNapoles]

I LOVE the Reality! I just rarely have a use for a ball that strong ya know !

[@LuisNapoles]

Lets go!

[@deonkirk7357]

Great list with the exception of the eternity, I think it's too new of a release for it to jump the other balls to a must have...balls that have proved themselves over the yrs deserve the top 3 IMO

[@LuisNapoles]

Hey look I agree with you and I rarely put newer balls on there but the amount of games I have put on my Eternity is insane haha

[@deonkirk7357]

@@LuisNapoles It really is an amazing ball and I really wanted to see you use in your league stream last night, but I hope you bring it out when you have the proper surface to show case it in a future stream

[@johnham442]

I only have 2 of those balls, the IQ solid and the Zen. I do however have the axiom which is pretty much just a slightly stronger phase 2, and I have the altered reality a.k.a. the original eternity. For most tournaments I have pretty much replaced my Zen with the Zen soul, they are pretty similar but I have found the Zen soul is a little earlier and smoother which for me is more controllable on tougher patterns.

[@LuisNapoles]

I heard that ball was money!

[@joshuablakely4068]

Ok I’m going to get a Zen but however I did just get an IQ Tour Solid and I’m still learning the ball so once I get it then the Zen is the last bowling ball until Christmas 😂. But my arsenal right now is Heavy-Oil : Reality Transition: Dark Code ( which you hate 😂) or Idol Cosmos Medium-Dry: Wolverine/ Hustle Wine/Hyped Pearl/ Phase 3

[@LuisNapoles]

Thats a good list! Look everyone knows I hate the DC but I know a lot of people love that ball!

[@joshuablakely4068]

@@LuisNapoles and I’m one of them 😂 but I have been wanting a Zen for the longest but once I heard about the Idol Cosmos I kinda chose that instead, but actually I love the cosmos it’s very well slept on cause it’s a really good ball.

[@LuisNapoles]

YUP! I cant talk about and not be about it! THE RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL SHIPS!

[@marlonmontanez6354]

IMO, the top 5 (recent available) SPI balls based on body of work (regardless of bowling styles) are as follows: 1) Phaze II 2) IQ Tour 3) Pitch Black 4) Gem (any variation) 5) Idol (any variation)

[@LuisNapoles]

Can’t go wrong with those

[@matzilla14]

Great list! I will usually find a spot in the bag for a Reality.

[@LuisNapoles]

Literally bought an eternity yesterday and holy… this ball is insane! It just goes through the pins so well.

[@LuisNapoles]

AGREED!

[@robertgibson7217]

Awesome Jersey, I love watching The Hype as well. I would’ve thought the Gem was a top 5 ball for you, but overall I like your picks.

[@SirJoelsuf1]

I guess I'm just stuck in the 00s. Most stuff made over the last decade or so doesn't hold up one Iota compared to stuff made from 2002 to 2008. Here's my list: 1) Brunswick Ultimate Inferno 2) Ebonite The One OR Hammer Black Widow 3) Brunswick Original Inferno 4) Storm Hy-Road 5) Ebonite XXXCel (idc what anyone says, particle stuff from the mid 00s is FANTASTIC. The XXXCel I had would take a left turn as soon as it hit the lane, transformed nearly every lane or pattern into a wood lane that was only oiled about 30 feet. Perfect for ultra speed dominant bowlers like me whose only option on anything was to go straight.) Luis is a really good bowling youtuber but this list seems biased. As a speed dominant bowler, none of those balls would do anything for me. Maybe the !Q Tour Solid might be alright, but ehh idk. I would leave corners and 2 pins every shot probably if I had any of those balls in my bag.

[@C-Sigg_999]

I LOVE the fact you have the Ultimate Inferno on here, especially #1! That is without a doubt one of, if not my favorite ball of all time. (it's right there with the original Zone (dark blue & yellow) - which I still have both of retired in my garage - Before I made the move to Storm products, I was a die hard Brunswick guy and those years of balls were GOAT status all day. I also agree with The One being there, it was a killer ball (the original, not the rehash) I also loved the Ebonite Mission. I'm right there with you on being stuck / lost in that decade of bowling & balls / equipment. The stuff now just doesn't seem anywhere near the same level as the older ones. I remember when you would keep balls for years at a time and a new release was special, now they just pump out ball after ball each month and they're all basically the same or just remakes of older ones. Not saying some of the newer stuff isn't great ( I love my Zen, UC3, Hy-Road, etc...) but there will just always be something special about those 00's balls for sure! Some honorable mentions for me would be the Brunswick Rattler, Storm X-Factor Ace, Storm Virtual Gravity. Those were house shot destroyers for me back in the day :)

[@LuisNapoles]

These are the must haves for me and MY game

[@C-Sigg_999]

@@LuisNapoles You do you my dude👊. Totally agree that not everyone will match up with every ball out there, however, I DO agree with a lot of this list regardless. You put some top notch equipment in the spotlight it deserves to be in. Obviously everyone has THEIR own game and SHOULD use the proper equipment to match up. As much as I love some of these new balls in recent years, I definitely have a soft spot for the OG stuff ;) Keep making killer content Lou, I think you have one of the best bowling channels out there and it's awesome to always see how passionate you are about what you do. Always look forward to the new vids and your Coolwicks are always 🔥. I think what makes your channel great is that so many can relate to your game and you show everyday bowlers REAL situations / conditions that most of us will face in league and such. You don't claim to have the perfect game, perfect form, etc.. you're just a genuine dude with a solid game who takes pride in improving and wanting to continue to do so. You seem so blessed to be able to do this and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little jealous ;) Thanks for putting this channel out there for us my man👊

Have 4 out of 6 of these balls. Infinite Physix, Phase II, Zen, Fate. Where would that IQ Tour Solid fit? Great video

For me I like the Tour Solid on the fresh when I need to shut my angles down but it can be a great "go to" ball after the Phaze 2

[@thatloudCG5]

Paused after watching some Infinite Physix shots... My top 6 would be: 1. Phaze 2 (DUH) 2. Hy-Road 3. Gem 4. IQ Tour Pearl (choose your cover/color variant) 5. Idol Cosmos (1500 grit polished) 6. Hyped Hybrid Honorable mention: Phaze 5/Hy-Road Pearl

[@larrylacroix3944]

I have a zen but not real crazy about it unless it is operator error. I usually wait till lanes are transitioning but tomorrow night I am thinking of starting it in the first game and going straight up 10 with it.

[@SirJoelsuf1]

From what I have seen in my leagues, the Zen is just not easy to control. Especially if you play direct with it. Its a symmetrical pearl but also aggressive, meaning you need to create a lot of angle with it. Going up 10 with it will pretty much guarantee over/under reaction...unless you're feeding it to the gutter from 10, but then it might just roll out.

[@LuisNapoles]

I think it can be a really good Game 1 ball for sure

[@larryschlutt7211]

You must be on Storms staff. The only one I will argue is the eternity. The radical katana assault blows that ball away hands down. Also the radical rattler blows the iq tour away because of 1 the cover and 2 dynamo core

[@LuisNapoles]

I am on 900 Global staff never make a secret about that. I would imagine VERY few people would agree with that statement you made about the !Q Tour lol

Different strokes for different folks in my opinion. Those balls fit your game the best and wouldn’t necessarily fit mine. I am a firm believer in newer the technology, better the performance.

First week with the Absolute, shot 300 game 2. Just got the Eternity this week and I’ll try it on league Thursday.

Since most of what I bowl is on house there's no real need for urethane BUT if this list was a tournament must have list then urethane would have been included 1000000000%

[@allenthomas914]

I have 2 of these the infinite and the fate just got the fate love it had it 2 weeks and have bowled really well with it and thinking about getting the phaze 2 to add to the infinite and fate should be good arsenal I'd say?

[@LuisNapoles]

I'd agree with hT!

[@johnyarbrough9280]

Awesome List

[@LuisNapoles]

Thanks

[@SFW7508]

Was debating between the IQ and the phae 2 before watching this video , i m still debating now withch one you would recommend for unconsistent lanes (we have different leagues withdifferent patterns

[@LuisNapoles]

The P2 will be much stronger so keep that in mind!

[@EvanT1995]

Luis I’m so sad the reality wasn’t on this list. You’re salty from having to put some surface on it! Just kidding a great list but I was really shocked to not see the reality.

[@LuisNapoles]

Reality is a GOOD ball though!

[@joeanderson9267]

Phaze III, Zen Soul, Fate, Reality (with polish), Electrify

[@LuisNapoles]

Thats a nice list!

[@cwagner4704]

Love that jersey and his channel😊( not as much as yours tho !)

[@LuisNapoles]

Well I appreciate that! But he has some good stuff on there!

[@masonhickey2145]

Louis I just bought a phase two and I have a somewhat higher rev rate and was wondering if the zen would match me better?

[@LuisNapoles]

Can't gp wrong with either of them TBH!

[@masonhickey2145]

@@LuisNapoles alright twist my arm Luis. I bought the zen too lol

[@nothanksnoname7567]

Might look for a backup replacement for my Hy-Road Solid. Anyone have good advice?

[@LuisNapoles]

!Q Tour solid would be a good place to start

[@nothanksnoname7567]

@@LuisNapoles Hi Luis, thanks for the recommendation.

[@scotti34]

Zen ball good. Phaze 2 also

Facts and FACTS

[@judygolo747]

Do you have a top bowling ball list per pattern (short, medium, long) ?

[@LuisNapoles]

I did one a LONG time ago but I’m working on making a new one

[@lt8473]

When even I’m in a slump I have to have a phase to get me out!

[@LuisNapoles]

facts on facts!

[@chrisshanabrough3064]

What speed do you typically throw?

[@LuisNapoles]

Try to keep it at 15

[@thebriangroves]

If I could only throw 5 balls the rest of my life. 1. OG INK 2. Wreck'em 3. Phaze 2 4. WINE 5. PBR or IDOL Pro

[@LuisNapoles]

OG INK was soooo good! Best hustle IMO
