well buy an expensive ball if you want, but unless you have an honest average of 210 it doesn't matter what you throw. too many PBA posers in this post

[xTITANXx2011]

I want a ball that is see through and has a nentendo 64 controller in it hehehe

I was a mid 140 average bowler when I used a plastic ball. I moved up to a Storm PBA Eraser 7 years ago then up to a Storm VG 2.5 years ago. With the Eraser my average jumped to 160's and with the VG I am now in the 180's. Had I never gotten a stronger more advanced ball I would have stayed in the 120's. Is this video for real? It should be titled How not to become a better bowler.

[MrRabiLavi]

lmao, what do you look for when buying a bowling ball? beginners buy cheep bowling balls, and experts buy expensive bowling balls, k.. no shit..

[DrN00000]

Is he joking, everybody will tell you, you need to hook the ball to start posting better averages, but then this guy rolls up and tells you not to buy a ball that actually hooks at all? Why? Because you only have a 120 average, SO you never learn the hook at all... great job.

@nso1256 I've never really had a problem with a ball rolling out, and I've had a lot of high end Columbia balls. The Pure Physics is a really strong ball and I've never had a problem with Carry, about the same as my old Invasion.

@nso1256

I'm sorry, but that's really not true.. If you want a ball with better angle, get a pearl, if you want it to be smoother, a solid of hybrid. I've thrown all 3 of those companies and averaged the same, even with my rev rate.

When your looking for a ball, choose how much you want it to hook, less money balls tend to hook less, more money balls tend to hook more, but you can easily get a ball to hook a lot with the drilling.

[Timmy121088]

my average ranges from 145-155 he never talked about that

[batmancircuit]

ah duh i didnt know that really

[stinngs120]

i want that dale jr bowling ball i saw a dale sr one in my local pro shop

[EvKbassdude07]

i wanna go to the lane you work at and smack you.

[buppers22]

Tuck those shoelaces in on those Dexters! Not very presentable!

[bowlerdude95]

250 $? Man, that's one expensive ball. You can buy balls for like 120 $ on online shops...

[Wankachocho]

@bowlerdude95 yea but for 120 bucks your not gonna get a dale jr ball man WTF dont you know the logo makes your average go up 30 pins

[Sandbagger300]

Just because your a 120 average doesn't mean you can't buy a higher end ball. Always do your homework online, a ball for heavy oil will hook more than a ball for drier lanes.Check drilling patterns or talk to your pro shop. And if you are looking for more pin action get a ball with a lower Radius of Gyration, lower means a ball is more center heavy(earlier roll) while higher radius is more cover heavy(longer length).

[Bowling4Ever2323]

@Sandbagger300 Well said.

[BrianCRX90]

So you must spend 200 bucks if you average 200. That's been my problem then. I'll have to spend more dough. I was wondering why my 200 average was getting down to the 190's with the 190 dollar ball!

[JohnnyDramathebowler]

Buying a plastic ball is a good idea, because it helps with natural roll. It will not give bowlers a false sense of ball reaction especially on dry lanes.

[GlorifiedTruth]

Is he crazy? You want to choose the heaviest ball you can... that's it! Heavy ball + maximum velocity = a strike every frame. He's trying to talk 120 bowlers into remaining 120 bowlers all their lives. I think not... if a 120 bowler tries to bowl at the alley where I bowl, we make run him out of their pretty quick.

[littlenooblet]

people often bowl heavier balls slower so your advice is completely flawed i use a 14lb virtual gravity and am currently averaging 213 with it, using a heavier version of that ball would NOT improve my average it would just increase the likelihood of my injuring myself

[HUarmy1231]

@littlenooblet not necessarily true. a heavier ball often carries better than a lighter one. if you switched up to a 15 lb virtual, you would probably kick out more corner pins then you do now, and increase your average 5-6 sticks

[redsfan821]

yeah. buying a plastic ball will not help improve your average. And buying a reactive ball when you have a 200 average? How are you going to get that average when you are throwing a plastic bowling ball?

[RedRoost80]

dale jr. woo!!!

[RedRoost80]

i wish my bowling alley had a dale jr. ball... or any ball like an 8 ball.. we just have branded balls like tropical storm, clash, bash, hammer, ect. nothin too designy =\

[KutB8]

seriously..?

[FordPerfect98]

House Pro? ok...does he sell swamp land too?

[dimimat]

This guy is not a good bowler! I am only 13 years old and I've played for two years with a coach and i can tell that my bowling is WAY better than his.

[worldslayer]

@dimimat typical 13 year old comment

[00rale00]

@dimimat You say that you're 13 years old? Still your channel says you're 35?
