Observation: this ball goes through the pins quite well, very little deflection. Prediction: it will probably work best for bowlers who are speed dominant.

I really like the motion of this ball. Looks like it would be a good choice for a 1960's old school Full Roller like myself. Just down and in right at them.

Just shot 290 a few hours ago doing this😆 Long live the inside shim! 5 games only 1 under 200👍 Love having all the miss room in the puddle instead of fighting the outside. Suits my style. Good vid Nick✌️

I bought this ball today. Wish me luck. 9 months of no thumb and drilled this today switching to traditional. Loosing all my revs so hoping the strength of this ball makes up for my revs loss

I needed an 11 lb. ball. My pro shop guy recommended the GB5. It has a very strong dull coverstock. Bowled 199 today! I love it.

I mean it bud. Ya show us all angles, speeds and you actually hit your spot majority of the time. When I know a ball I’m interested in is coming out I come right to your page. I’ve always really liked Brunswick, Columbia, and Hammer so it’s perfect. Minus the occasional 8 pin 😂 you do a great job thank you! Hammer Effect next ball in my bag!

Question for you? Does the speed in Specto differ from the speed tracking system on the lanes? Is Specto the speed at release?
@brunsnick8 ай бұрын
Specto tracks everything. I show launch speed and entry speed. Entry speed is what you would typically see on a scoring monitor at a center.

@vance8368 ай бұрын
I really like the motion, almost urethane-esque. Issue for me is that I drilled a GB2 Solid and I just could not get the 10 out. I was forced inside since I am a little rev dominate and wondering if the lower diff in the 16s kind of contributed to the lack of carry. Not really sure. I tried taking the surface up to 3000 but did not work. Only thing I did not try was polish but that was not the reason I drilled it up in the first place. I just never saw enough oil where I could square up and play the track area. I still have it and believe it was about 10 years ago when I punched it up. I may need to pull it back out as the lanes probably have a little more oil than they did 10 years ago and see what happens.

I would love a video on what balls would be good for a beginning bowler and what balls would specifically not be good for a new bowler. Also what balls are more versatile vs what balls are more "one trick" or situational.

Goes through pins well but for low rev low speed bowler this ball might be tough to handle
@ericwestfall12498 ай бұрын
I like the continuous predictable roll of symmetrical balls. I am speed dominant about 20-21 mph off my hand and 18mph down lane. I usually stand 25 and throw over 12 board. Do you feel this ball will respond well to speed and playing straighter? I do excellent with this style using dv8 verge hybrid on a medium oil house shot.
@brunsnick8 ай бұрын
Absolutely will with your speed. 👍🏻

This ball looks like it has some teeth. Might have to take the surface up or add compound and/or polish. Can't wait to get it and give it a try.

Looks like a lot of cover. How do you think this would respond to a 3-4000 grit pad, or even polish?
@brunsnick8 ай бұрын
Would probably make it more mellow, can play straighter and slower with less surface.
