What Bowling Ball Should You Throw? Asymmetric or Symmetric

[@billfleming8281]

I love these tutorials,thanks guys for having Coach Dan do these with you . He surely helps us all understand it in layman’s terms. He’s great !

[@squidly2112]

THIS is the kind of video that really helps me out! .. I have a hard time, sometimes, deciding on the proper ball to use. I had that problem in Sunday night league this week. Did ok in first game, nothing spectacular. Made some ball adjustments in second game but made the wrong ones. I corrected my ball mistake in the final game and was back into the 200's again (215, which is good for me). Choosing the right ball at the right time can really make a big difference. I'm learning .... Thank you Brad !!!

[@jonathancauley5345]

I have a hammer black/Gold Widow, Rhodman purple, and Statement green. Which I believe are all symmetrical, but have different strengths. Saturday, I bowled 3 games over 200 with two coming from Widow but the lanes were dry. So, to me, it depends on the condition of the lane and how you bowl.

[@squidly2112]

@@jonathancauley5345 - Nice! .. always a good day when you can bowl over a 600 series! .. and I agree, definitely depends upon lane conditions and transition.

[@atbsigma]

This just helped me narrow down arsenal choices. Thank you both… it all makes a lot more sense now!

[@cruxprospecting]

It's always a good day when a new Brad and Kyle video comes out!

[@kenburgio8070]

This is a great video to help newer bowlers to understand picking out new bowling balls! Thanks Brad!

[@elbowloloco7499]

Beautiful! Excellent treatment of the subject.

[@ubermo1182]

Excellent video! Very useful.

I have been on the struggle bus the last couple of years. I had hip replacement and it did not go great I developed so many bad habits. 3 years ago I bowled a couple 300 games a lot of 700's and then I have struggled to keep a 170 average. I finally am straightening my game out with you guys help. I am staying behind the ball and rolling it. You know like I use to do. Anyway my wife made me go to 9 pin tonight to sub. I did really well the last game I had a honest to god 299 real game and 300 9 pin. First time in a while I put 11 strikes in a row. It felt so good, all in the pocket. Using my Favorite Asymmetrical ball ever made. Motive Jackal Ghost. I had like an 817 series of course it was 9 pin no tap so that is not a huge accomplishment, but the last game, the 300 only ball 12 was a 9. Damn 10 pin! Thank you guys for all the help. I am actually getting excited about bowling again, when I was wanting to quite just a few months ago.

[@guyrich6467]

This is great because most videos cover the physical game. To bowl well, under changing conditions, you need to understand your equipment as well.

[@radicalfury710]

Nice Video, objective and reaffirming our personal bowling knowledge and experiences. Back & Forth chit chat between Brad and Daniel was also very free flowing.

[@homegrilladvantage]

What a great video... Asym and Sym talk can get pretty detailed, but you guys really simplified it in only 16 mins. Awesome vid

[@jonesapebowling9152]

Congrats on the win this past Sunday Kyle.

[@stephenkorthals1803]

What a great video! Thank you for all the info / explanation!

[@markkeller9378]

I would really,like to see a chart with ball speed and rev rate combos and what a solid ball would be for each combo for a league bowler…….example speed 8-10 rev low, rev high, speed 10-12 low rev, high rev, speed 12-15 rev low, rev hi..speed 15+ rev low and rev hi…….

[@TOMMY-WANT-WINGY]

I just bowled my 3rd 200+ recently. It was a 245 and i just use the house ball. Very excite!

[@youngfleshlight5859]

The lighting change at 0:59 holy moly my eyes

[@brianpaul271]

I'm at the 2 minute mark, and it's changed at least 5 times. I feel dizzy 😆

[@danhaynes1967]

Agree with their assessment. I'm around a 300 RPM bowler but I'm pretty well balanced with speed and I bowl my best with asyms. Currently have an Eternity Pi and an Xponent and I throw the Pi 90% of the time.

[@KyleH-b1k]

Can you guys explain what we should expect to change when drilling a taller pin and shorter pin please?

[@iceman5117]

Shorter pin flares less and flares sooner. As the ball rotates, flare results from the pin migrating from its initial position to the PAP (laying down). When you shorten the pin-PAP, you're pre-laying down the core

[@gravity44]

This is super informative. Thank you!

[@toddpfeifer4154]

Great tutorial

[@rwrocks68]

Just got the max shot 736 out of box on the Beaten Path. Awesome ball

[@eric_howell]

Very cool video

[@ozneroll2132]

Great video

[@larrylacroix3944]

What if you are a senior bowler with speed between 11.5 to 12.5 and low revs which is better. I have gone to 13 lbs because of hip and knee issues but still bowl two to three leagues a week and went to symmetrical because that is what I thought I needed to do but really struggling because bi don’t get a lot of strikes and I know I have to get better at picking spares but seems like pocket hits are leaving spares were maybe a asymmetrical might be the difference. I do bowl at st Charles lanes on Friday in the senior league

[@markkeller9378]

Yeah I would really like to see a chart with ball speed and rev rate and what the ideal ball would be for each type bowler on a league shot.

[@d.ryzner7221]

My understanding is the issue is going to 13lb. Unfortunately 85% of balls out there go to a generic lightbulb type core. If you simply can't with physical therapy and strength regimen get back to 14lb then you need to focus on asymmetrical only for radical balls, hammer balls some asymmetrical and symmetrical need to look at each ball individually and any storm roto or 900 global balls with A.I. core technology that way the 12 and 13lb balls have rg, diff and int diffs that are closer to the 14-16lb balls in performance.

[@nickedinger1]

My go to pin up is 5x4x1.75 vls. And my go to pin down is 4.75x4.25x4.25 vls

[@Nerf-Herder]

Oh my lord. The quick zooming in and out and lighting changes need to stop. Pick an angle and leave it alone.

[@hankgolfer1]

Makes no sense. The zooming in and out. Ridiculous to do it. Serves no point. I totally agree with you.

[@tommalachowki231]

How about terms like "slow down", or "change direction"?

[@willwebber6496]

Another great video! So even amongst asym balls, there is a lot of variation? Because it sounds like some are concave while others jut out. Could you give a couple of examples of very different asyms?

[@remington1439]

Me particularly I would choose a symmetrical ball

[@russellgilbert3453]

Yea! 😄

[@remoevans7847]

Symmetrical = Longer hook phase/shorter roll phase Asymmetrical = Shorter hook phase/longer roll phase

[@franklapadula1558]

I understand the balls cores, but doesn’t also take into consideration the way you drill the ball that has the reaction down lane?

[@aaronspringborn34]

Quick question, even though this was a great video generally speaking for every ball in your arsenal I’m still confused within a six ball arsenal, which should be the number two or the number three ball meaning between the strong symmetric or the cleaner asymmetric? If you can quickly clear this up, that would be great.

[@Seanph25]

With these 4 balls specifically it would probably be, in terms of strength or order out of the bag, the following. 1. Ion Max (strong sanded solid) 2. Summit (strong sanded hybrid) 3. Attention Star (strong polished pearl) 4. Phaze Ai (medium polished pearl) So essentially the order he threw them. 1 and 3 being asymmetrical, and 2 and 4 being symmetrical.

[@Dre_wil3]

What did you put on ur arm at the end?

[@franknowak5419]

I wish you guys would show your drilling pattern

[@rafabonati7757]

I just wonder what the result would be if the symmetric was rolled down and in from the right instead of cross lane from the left.

[@rexjohnson1081]

I like symetric better then a sym

[@CliftonDon74]

I am middle of the middle at 400 revs and 17.2 mph on the monitor. Most of my pieces are pin up, pin over bridge/ring finger. I can adjust the speed and revs a little to give the lanes what they want. Thanks for this one Brad.

[@HUFF-N-PUFF-2024]

I find I leave a lot fewer 10 pins with an asymmetrical ball

[@bikerunner1792]

my problem is the differtional numbers is what confuses me what do they do?

[@markmatroni631]

I think the AI and move a tad right would have been flush flush flush

[@qckdad62]

Ughhh. Link doesn’t work. I want in!!!

[@ScottyThompson-lt7wl]

Cool video talk tech bowling ball Brad and Kyle

[@RewindCountry]

Thanks for making this video. It reinforces the fact that I'm a bowling nerd that knew this already 🤣

[@browntrousersmoment]

Symmetrical ball becomes asymmetric when you put holes in it to some degree.

[@jasonls2]

“Which”

[@alfadog8618]

i am a 2 hander 400rpm and 15mp ball speed, is my revs too high for my speed and i should not get a asym?

[@SealofPerfection]

Isn't the main difference between all the balls thrown here simply the cover material? IMO the only way to really compare sym and asym would be to have the exact same cover/surface on 2 different weight blocks, drilled the same. Eliminate all the differences except that 1. Then we could finally see if there really is a difference instead of trying to imagine there is one by watching totally different balls being compared. Although I doubt the ball companies would really want that, as I suspect there will be little difference

[@SirJoelsuf1]

Asym, solid, taken down to 360. No other ball will do. haha

[@ifyoudidntknownowyoudo6326]

Wth is up with the flashing in the video screen? It's ignoring. But I need this knowledge.

[@MikeDCWeld]

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of bowlers out there won't get 50 balls drilled in their whole life.

[@Mityob67]

Right. My bowling buddy has 65 balls🤣🤣.

[@chrisalves8614]

Not with that attitude!

[@scenicmyles]

You are so wrong there, I know a few bowlers who have a new ball every month, I probably have easily over 50 myself.

[@jackcasse]

Heh... I can name every ball I've had since like 1992.

[@MikeDCWeld]

@chrisalves8614 more like "not with this economy".

[@captainricco2777]

Look, I am still bowling 150-190 on any given day. Gone through at least 200 balls!!! Had every ball that was on tv. High end to low end. Drilled for extra length and all other settings. SCAM$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Believe it or not. Find out for yourself after bowling for 30 years watching all episodes of Brad and Kyle and see if you get any better. ONLY 300's will win a tournament 🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳😭

[@markmatroni631]

Asym adds value ? No, it adds cost .

[@EXODIAHAMMER513]

This video was hard to watch due to the lightning and horrible video editing. 2 camera setup, 2 different camera brands so the lighting look different on 1 camera.

[@kridicalxsi1177]

Haven't watched the video but whatever ball gives you miss room and strikes.

[@Jesusfanatic0711]

That gives me room to miss my ball? 🤣🤣 I’m just messing with you it’s how you worded it I know what you mean though. For me it’s symmetric or low asym balls. Bigger asyms just stand up to fast for me.

[@kridicalxsi1177]

@@Jesusfanatic0711 Just realize I messed that up lmao. Thanks!
