THE TOP 10 BOWLING BALLS OF 2024

[@BrentBowlsBadly]

X-Cell, Phaze 2, and Optimum Idol Pearl is my go-to league bag right now.

[@SteveRitnour]

X-Cell (3-300), Optimum Idol (7-700), and a Purple Hammer Urethane (1-800)

[@miquerto]

Thanks for breaking it down and talking about all those balls in that way. I felt like I was getting new information I need in my quest for the next ball.

[@marcs9068]

I know it came out very recently, but loving my Ion Max. Really helping me get pins late in league.

[@spiderico00]

Favorite is the X-Cell, very smooth and controllable.

[@nickziolkowski9757]

My buddy has both summits and I got my phaze 2 this year, all 3 are money makers for us so far

[@theodorewagener3057]

Thanks for this informative review. TV Bowling Supply is far and away my favorite pro shop. Service is exceptional….can come in and buy a ball, get it fitted, drilled, etc in under an hour. Bought the x-cell, ascent, and iq ruby from you all this year! Love the x-cell and the ruby…threw my best series of the year (750) with the ascent for 2.5 of the games (ruby for last half of the game) but it’s actually my least favorite of the three. I like it but i am less sure when to use it. Just not as predictable for me. Great work guys!

[@tvbowlingsupply]

Thanks Ted! Glad we can help.

[@The-Bengals-Fan]

I bought a phase AI and a effect tour in the past month love them both

[@CliftonDon74]

Thanks guys!:Keep doing what you are doing with your shops, reviews and content.

[@johnm.9982]

Current 3 bag rotation is Attention Star, Hustle Rip, and Optimum Idol for traditional thumb in. My other rotation for 2 handed lefty, (I’m ambidextrous) I use Hustle Rip, Lightning Blackout, and Optimum idol.

[@justamazing8325]

Two of my favorite Attention star and hustle RIP!!

[@RobertThroop-gp9cs]

Optimum Idol and Attention Star are very good. Just purchased my first Phase 2. Excited to get it drilled

[@alexblack8523]

Just got one last week, myself! It's a phenomenal ball. I use it with my Summit Peak. Sometimes I use the Phase 2 for all 3 games at league, and sometimes I split them up. Just depends on what the lanes are telling me. The Phaze 2 can be thrown on just about anything!

[@cjvasquez2961]

Thanks for giving us these ball reviews 🙏🏼.

[@BigB_62]

For multiple senior leagues, my 3-ball bag contains the Attention Star, Summit Ascent and the OG Xponent. Love all three but I've had the Xponent the longest and it's still my favorite and most used ball.

[@justmep5944]

Attention Star, Phaze II, Idol, Phaze AI

[@hawaiibro2834]

Just got the Optimum Idol Solid about two weeks ago for my birthday and it's amazing! It's a very fun ball to throw and it's an amazing benchmark type of ball.

[@ADAMEATSBEARS]

this was roto grips year, attention stars, idols, xcell and hustles all insanely good

[@joshuahaines7829]

Optimum Idol is a killer. Shot my first 600 series with it and had the front 8 the other day for a new PB of 263. It just does the thing.

[@StephRenee812]

I want that ball.

[@anothertallgamer]

Summit Ascent is definitely my next ball. Rolled it at a matchmaker and LOVED it!

[@grantpickard3825]

Attention Star already been a killer purchase for me. Couple sweeper cashes, 700+ sets in league, plus shot my 5th 300 with it last month. I might buy a case of them.

[@PhanteBowls]

Glad to see y'all liking Summit Ascent too. I had a chance to see Belmo throw it in the summer and it looked fantastic. Chris liking it too makes me feel like it'll be a sleeper Pro ball in the PBA next year

[@tyler_315]

W vid as per usual. Best of luck in 2025 for both of you guys!

[@mattraugh8748]

1:05 dont diss the hustles😂😂😂

[@tvbowlingsupply]

@@mattraugh8748 we love the hustles!

[@mattraugh8748]

@tvbowlingsupply I know I'm just messing with you guys😂😂😂

[@Razzzz93]

Attention Star S2 has become my favorit SPI ball of 2024, works on sports pattern and house pattern.

[@echotango4911]

Glad your number one pick is my favorite ball as well :)

[@Hurtz-xm8eu]

Getting an Ion Pro from the pro shop tomorrow and got a Phaze II on the way in the mail :)

[@tvbowlingsupply]

5 x 5 x 4 2LS

[@RONNIEKRAVITZ1]

Guys I’m surprised/disappointed that the LIGHTNING BLACKOUT (not the VIRTUAL) was not introduced on your list. I love this ball and in fact just last week I rolled an 806 series (3 games) in league play

[@rickystucker6812]

I love that ascent. Have it drilled very agressive. I run ascent to ion pro then my peak for late game

[@christophererenberg1963]

I am a rev dominant 2 hander. Little bit slower ball speed. I've been struggling on the fresh. Sometimes I can use the reality check when there is some oil. Otherwise I generally have a difficult time. Was thinking of either the xcell or ascent

[@thomasburns8375]

I have a phaze 2 and a idol and I love my idol way more then the phaze 2

[@stormb28]

All 10

[@joylontull9083]

Ascent is definitely my favorite ....jad to polish it to get the length I needed, but jas been amazing since then

[@texasplumr]

I feel the same way about the Phaze II! I never leave home without it. I may be 71 but if they discontinue this ball one day I'll certainly drill up another.

[@rashidmyclanfans5702]

Ion Pro works for me in league and tournaments, it gave me control. It’s great for league and tournaments, and it’s a bang for ur buck😉, considering how much money I’ve made from it this yr.😄😄😄

[@TRISHYXX]

Would you guys recommend the ION pro to a newer bowler? Lower speeds and rev dominant 2hand. Wanted a "one ball does it all" to grow with. It's on my shortlist along with the IQ tour solid/phase II and the lower end entry hustle

[@Texas_Horror]

I have the optimum idol solid and I’m about to receive the Pearl in the main I feel like the optimum idol pearl will be better but I love the idol series

[@edwardbuchanan140]

Hey Guys, I just picked up the Physix Blackout and its an awesome balls. Now Im looking for a couple more that compliment it. Got any recommendations?

[@cory1705]

Just ordered the Attention Star S2, never had the original, but right now I have in the bag is, Ion Pro and Zen Gold Label, then i swap around between a Vebo, Original Sublime, and Original Summit. but Soon to be, Attention Star S2, Ion pro, and Zen Gold Label.

[@Yite69]

Looks real comfortable in the pro shop

[@michaelfinley9988]

Mikey makes every ball look good. He has one of the best forms/releases of any pro.

[@bennyglaze-u3k]

What surface do you guys recommend for the optimal idol???

[@tvbowlingsupply]

All. Takes more surface very well to handle more oil. You can also polish it to get a bit more down lane motion out of it.

[@michaelziebarth711]

Any advice on which ball to get please... physix blackout or primal rage evolution? Can't decide

[@tvbowlingsupply]

We love the Physix Blackout!

[@chrismagory9423]

How does the summit assent compare to the reality check?

[@redcat5697]

Absolutely my go to ball lately. Fantastic ball to have in the bag!

[@MatthewJrP]

Optimum idol was my favorite ball of the year. Recently got the pearl and it’s just a perfect combo. Surprised the pearl wasn’t on here. Really similar to phaze ai so it makes a little bit of sense I guess. I didn’t do good with phaze 2 so I got optimum idol just did good. It’s not my favorite ball in my bag but I love it. And the pearl

[@StakMusikLI]

No way the absolute power didn’t make the list! 😵‍💫 supppper sleeper! Super good! Replaced my Tour Dynamx with it! Optimum Idol pearl should beaten out that summit for sure!

[@charlesluttrellpyk]

I think I would git a Phaze AI. I like the look of the ball going down lane. smooth and clean.

[@djalvarado456]

Surprised to not see the Ion Max. Very good ball. Have the Phaze AI and love that paired with the Ion Max

[@Mississippi_Birdbath]

Ion Pro and Phaze AI here, love them both, bowl on a lot of dry personally so probably leaning towards a ball not on the list, the Road Warrior

[@vichaimoua]

Iq ruby, physix black out or road warrior but what’s the layout on the ruby Mr Chris via if you don’t mind sharing.

[@markwilliamburright8160]

What are your thoughts on the iQ U78

[@tvbowlingsupply]

A great option to use if you need control and like to play straighter

[@thomasworrilow4228]

I have 1 question for Mikey. If it came down to you only had 1 spot left in your bag, and it came down to an optimum idol or a sublime focus, which is going in the bag? Lol

[@matt_tubby]

Phase II in the current bag. Probably will get an Ion Pro next for a step down ball.

[@srujay]

great video, please make a video of arsenal for tournament tough conditions from spi products ! not everyone is bowling only leagues :(

[@snailfedperformance7177]

Optimum Idol and Summit Ascent are both amazing balls.

[@bhartissimo]

I'm surprised the Optimum Idol Pearl didn't make the top 10-. I'm very happy with my Attention Star and Optimum Idol Pearl for league (along with a Storm Mix). I'm not planning on buying another ball for the time being. I'd rather use what I have and focus on bowling more consistently,, while trying to get my average up.

[@BigMikeBazil]

I definitely want a Phaze AI. I should of got the Phaze 2 instead of the Pro. Also i would buy the Attention Star as well as the IQ Tour Ruby

[@chrisalves8614]

I own the VEBO... And I'd love another VEBO 😂

[@caleb8078]

My bag at the moment is the phase 2, attention star and a hustle. But i do have a vibe but im not a super big fan of it.. i do miss my iq tour ruby.

[@spiderico00]

I haven't come across a single person who likes the Ion Pro, myself included. I have tried different surfaces on many different conditions, different speeds, angles, releases, and it hooks when it sees dry, skates when there is oil, very over under, then corner pins non-stop in the pocket. Anyone else see the same types of reactions with this ball?

[@StakMusikLI]

And legit question… how do the V2 phase 2s roll compared to the OGs? I missed out when they were in the OG factory!

[@tvbowlingsupply]

They are still made in the same factory as they always have been. We both have recently drilled new ones and they roll as good as ever!

[@Ragoldiesfan]

Absolute Power not in there? Wow, some stiff competition!

[@StephRenee812]

I would like just to have one of those 10 balls. I need a new one. There are so many i want and i need a new ball

[@mackenziedeverick7418]

Team Chris via I’m the biggest fan ❤❤

[@tokyosan7906]

I just got me an attention star. Super pumped to chuck that down the lane yee hawwww. Hey Mikey I love Japanese curry you aren’t alone ahahaha

[@J0e_Weee]

Wassup Everyone 🤘🏻🎅🏻🤘🏻

[@jerrylindner5431]

How about a top 5 for us low rev rate or slower bowlers.

[@TRISHYXX]

have you talked to any pro shop owners about this? I'm also curious what balls they'd recommend

[@jerrylindner5431]

The two pro shops here in town seem more interested in selling what they have in stock instead of what you need

[@echotango4911]

Optimum Idol. I’m basically a low rev bowler and throw it 13moh

[@colleencosgrove4813]

Yes would love to see any channel tackle this. Low rev, low speed. I bowl every week, get better every season, but currently am struggling to figure out my ball, it’s no longer working for me even though my consistency is getting great. Our pro shop is not at all knowledgeable so they aren’t helpful. Just really need suggestions on balls to up my game to get to the next level for both league and tournament.

[@echotango4911]

@ Bowlers paradise does ball reviews and he also does say who he recommends the ball for. Of course it’s subjective to an extent

[@vic06492]

The power duo

[@jasongonsiorowski1072]

I love my summit peak

[@strikezone1879]

DNA Coil. Sits 3rd on the pedestal in your thumbnail pic, but didn’t make the list. Easily the most underrated SPI ball of the year.

[@TheOGDerk]

Ion Pro and Summit Ascent are my balls of the year. Optimum Idol Pearl has been the most disappointing for me

[@deathbeam328]

ion max is my ball of the year. it replaced my xcell, i literally can use is longer in league than the xcell(all 3 games), where xcell might be usable for a game and a half.

[@bobpanarese9733]

I thought the Road Warrior would have made the list.

[@shanenorthrop1969]

Harsh Reality #1 for me

[@BNeault]

SPI only?

[@tvbowlingsupply]

Ironically enough, this is our Top 10 either way 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BBBYpsi]

I'm torn between the Phaze AI, Attention Star, Summit Peak

[@hermanecheverri9849]

Power Edge should be removed from the A.I . Overall, you will get better results

[@zmccabe74]

I wish i can stay with doordash direct

[@stuartniedermayer8187]

Origin needs to be on this list

[@mattraugh8748]

It's top 10 sold, otherwise I'd be on the list I would think

[@Caddyshhack]

Power edge is the goat polish

[@prettynicefield1104]

summit ascent feel for me like and IQ tour with mor pop !!

[@jeffs7773]

Surprised by the attention star

[@jamespark808]

🤔Hmmm, no 900 Global ball. Though they didn't release a lot. If only the Origin was released earlier, it might have cracked the list. Enjoyed the video!

[@timmeyer6789]

Surprised no 900 Global balls. Harsh Reality has been money for me. I do have a Phaze 2 and it's easily the best ball I've had...do need to get a second one

[@shanenorthrop1969]

No Harsh Reality at all? Come on man it’s a great ball!

[@Kristopher_Walter300]

No 900G balls is wild

[@francisfederico9236]

NO STAR #2 BEST BALL CAN DOIT ALL??????

[@randymelissabutton2159]

So Mrs Tang is a good bowler too, why is she not on the channel?

[@loupugliese4576]

Ion Max not even top 10? GTFOH! This Makes no sense!

[@Tony_Tuesday]

Pretty sure they mean top 10 selling cuz attention star would’ve been higher

[@tvbowlingsupply]

@@Tony_Tuesday yup!

[@Tony_Tuesday]

@@tvbowlingsupply you should fr do a top 10 ranking performance wise instead of sales as well

[@MikkR6]

A lot of people didn’t even like it? It just has a lot of shelf appeal not very useful for most people.

[@mrscoob3450]

The max looks like it should come with lipstick and a purse.

[@malana2009]

YOUR MESSAGE SHOULD READ TOP 10 SPI balls not bowling balls. Kinda misleading

[@adamdockerty3362]

Wow this list is trash! And paid promo

[@tvbowlingsupply]

This list is just a top 10 balls we've sold at TV Bowling Supply, not a paid promo

[@Vietboy004]

ion pro sucks

[@hermanecheverri9849]

Power Edge should be removed from the A.I . Overall, you will get better results
