  • im getting this!

  • Looks like a snazzy ball! I'm more of an Ebonite guy myself . Btw, love the choice of music, TDWP fits pretty well!

  • ive seen ur newer stuff now im commenting ur not a cranker its called lanes were dry

  • @ redneckfisher22 that spot is reserved for the Hyroad my good sir. Most versatile, dependable ball ever made with crazy excellent pin action and carry.

  • you guys are trippin the ball hooks regardless of time. honestly its probably the best storm ball ever made

    

  • HOW DA HELL DO U CONSIDER YOURSELF A CRANKER

  • @114sasquatch watch my new videos

  • @114sasquatch look how many RPMs he throws at ofcourse hes a cranker dumbass

  • Like almost all Storm premier balls, the Invasion was amazing for half a season and then it just died. I've found it's hit or miss with Storm when it comes to ball life. I guess it doesn't help that the Invasion also has a pretty thin coverstock. I did get the Prodigy though and that ball is amazing. Has lasted me about 3 league seasons now and still has the same ball reaction.

  • @guffnuh Hey on one of the videos u uploaded it said u hate the invasion. Tell me why u changed ur mind

  • @123BigDame i still hate the invasion, this is just when i first got it. when it was new it was amazing

  • @guffnuh Why do u hate it

  • Respond to this video... cause I had that ball ever since Christmas of 2010 and all i used was ball cleaner from Dunhams and it still moves like crazy

  • is the invasion still a good ball to buy or would i be wasting money?

  • lol dude youre not a cranker...youre sort of a mix of a tweener and a cranker if that makes sense. amount of hook doesnt matter, heck, less hook=more power. straighter is greater. get your backswing down and timing more in tact and then youll have a solid game

  • @CheifOsceola watch my new videos

  • @CheifOsceola Thats the dumbest thing I have ever heard'

  • @MrBigdady313 how? is not the simplest way from point A to point B a straight line? not saying i bowl straight lol my revs are in the 540s, but looking back at my comment there, it did sound pretty arrogant lol. throw it cross lane and the ball looses energy in the 2 transitions, from skid to hook, and from hook to roll. throw it straighter with less axis and it doesnt waste as much energy in transitioning and can convert more of that energy into the pins.

  • What a good ball for heavy oil or a ball that is strong on fresh oiled lanes that has continuous backend?

  • @rvc81396 c system alpha max works good on heavy bro

  • Cranker and throwing the ball like a maniac are just two completly different things.

  • Yeah I got one and it is the shit

  • mmmm.... $2.00 Bud Light......

  • agree with you on the continuation through the pin deck but ive noticed that on a fresh house shot it will hit dead pocket and will push past the 9 pin and just leave a stone cold 9 like you did at 0:15 yet i leave it even when i am deeper in the pocket. the only way i have found to stop this is decrease rev's but when i do that i loose the massive pin reaction. any ideas on how to fix that?

    and a quick question what surface do you have on your invasion?

  • Comment removed

  • your not a cranker your a tweener

  • @zax590 watch my new videos

  • @guffnuh my bad bro it just looked like it in this video. i bowl very similar to you but my foot speed is a little slower i have two problems i have a hard time pushing the ball out i tend to throw it straight instead of right. and when i go to tournaments my ball doesnt like to move i have to slow way down and then my accuracy starts to get bad.(the house i shoot at has real wood lanes and most of the tournaments i go to have synthetic). what ball would you recomend. i throw a black widow bite

  • @zax590 noo hes is a cranker

  • does it really matter how straight a line you play if you crank the shit out of the ball still?

    watch him bowl in real life and then say what you think, in person its kinda insane lol

  • @guffnuh wah. u really suck. practice also paly until lyk that. real sucker.

  • @Benlearns i honestly have no idea what you said. there's this thing called spelling, you might want to look into it.

  • @kyledavidkessler I have 4 300s none of them are posted on the site, Its the alleys responsibly to report everything properly. These are in league, I might just have a crappy local alley but from my experience not all league 300s are reported to USBC.

  • hey guffnuh. i don't know what's up with those hate comments some ppl post. great bowling! your form is slightly unique, but your shot is very powerful and accurate and that's all that matters! D: i want a storm invasion too

  • What pin and top weight do you recommend for premier storm balls?

  • what song is that

  • @ipatlanta24 still fly by the devil wear prada

  • @kyledavidkessler oh, and i'd also like to point out that according to bowl.com your averages are 205, 198 and 168, and you have no honor scores. FAIL

  • you throw the ball so much slower in this video, is this because the invasion is more of an arcing ball and u have to give it time to rotate?????? (thats probably why) oh and this is a great song choice toooo i fucking love this song!

  • does this ball do go on heavy oil i was thinking about getting this ball for tourny's my ebonite doesnt cover as much or snap back on the end on heavy oil i am a lefty that cover 4 boards when i through and i heard that ball comes back good.

  • ahahhahah u suckk

  • Wow you make using that Invasion look so easy! I never saw that many strikes in a review of that ball before.

  • your backswing is retardedly high and theres a thing called bendingbut otherwise ok

  • I'm not being a dick, but the line you play is incredibly straight for a cranker. Are these lanes freshly oiled?

  • @JacobHLee95 yes, they were a freshly oiled shot that plays EXTREMELY straight. if you watch my new videos which are at a different house, you can see how much more everything hooks

  • How old are you? You roll a pretty good ball. Im 15 and rolled my first 300 last year. I seen you said you had 10 good job.

  • @TyRTi thanks man. i just turned 15 and i rolled my first 300 when i was 13

  • @guffnuh Nice job. Whats your high series? Mines 784 I just missed my damn 800 :/ lol

  • @TyRTi my high is 827, and i've had 4 800's total

  • @guffnuh Wow great job man. Dont let any of these people get to you you could kick half their ass there is nothing wrong with you game keep up the good bowling :D

  • @TyRTi yeah i just ignore them xD i do have some things wrong with my game, but no ones perfect xD anyway thanks!

  • whats your average

  • @lilhenry61610 when this video was taken it was 215, but now it's 221

  • good song choice haha great vid too man

  • Cool video man, Im getting my invasion drilled today, cant wait!

  • this definately isnt a flatter shot... look at the first shot, then look at how much right you passed that on your next shot on that lane. but it is probably heavier. nice video

  • Lol at backswing

  • Got this ball nd my average is hitting low 180s it's only my second year ever bowlin great ball. I have a jigsaw corner nd it don't compare to the invasion.

  • @guffnuh

    yeah i used to be a big hammer guy but after my sauce died after about 1000 games and i wasted my money on the jigsaw i went to storm and never looked back....their balls hit just if hard if not harder and overall are just a better quality ball....the only hammers i will buy are the vibes

  • also r u throwing on a lot of oil in your vid?

  • @4cavs23 yes this is on A TON of oil

  • im in hs bowling and have that ball and when there is oil i cant get my invasion to move an inch, could you please tell me where your standing and what board your hitting. if you could respond asap that would be helpful. thank you

  • @4cavs23 is it a regualar house shot or a sport shot?

  • You don't need eleven bowling balls. All you need is one or two, and the skill needed to use them.

  • Hey, I just got the Reign Supreme like an hour ago I'm going to go use it I'll tell you how it is compared to my Reign the man in the pro shop i got it in says its about 4-8 boards stronger than the Reign. Just thought you should know if you are gonna be getting it one.

  • @Brian15191 ya thanks man, im gonna be getting one this next week. it seems like a really good ball

  • @guffnuh for me my Reign Supreme is about 2 dots stronger than my Reign it is a very good ball make a video of it once you get it, i went bowling tonight with my friend and because they had all these black lights and crap on i couldnt see my mark and i still had a low game of 180. Very GOOD :)

  • this ball does not carry well.

  • do you have the black widow nasty ??? if you do ,do a vid of it =)

  • @KOOLAIDEMAN70 sorry, i dont have a nasty :/

  • @guffnuh ok have you looked it up and if you did what do you think of it would you put in your bag ????

  • @KOOLAIDEMAN70 no, probably not, i dont like hammer anymore

  • what are you averging i'm averging right now 203

  • @cariello1220 im averaging between 215-225

  • hey man been along time. i'm thinking about getting the new Storm Reign Supreme and since your a bowling expert can you tell me what you think of it i have the original Reign and love it so i want something similar to it. what are you averaging now? im at like a 185ish

  • @Brian15191 i'd definantly get the reing supreme, it looks sick. i'm gonna be getting one for christmas. and i'm averaging 215-225 now

  • @guffnuh woah nice and why do you have to be so good at bowling -.-

  • You dont look like a cranker to me.

  • your clearly not cranking the ball...in fact compared to my bowling team you throw one of the straightest balls i have ever seen do well.

  • @Cronic4life089 a cranker is not defined by how many boards they cover, cranker is defined by speed and rev rate.

  • wheres the pin placement

  • @pbmadness123

    bought a t-road pearl last year ... and it's STILL a monster ball.. believe me, if you take care of them they are like car ... ( there will always be a bad one somewhere someone you know will get his hand on ...)

  • Had a sholder reconstruction yet?

  • how many 3's do you have?

  • @Drazorw0w 10

  • im with guffnuh. Anything with a lightning bolt on the ball (storm) is great for a month or so.....then its just a spare ball. Thats why i dont bowl with storm.

  • @pbmadness123 clearly not i have had a Nomad by Storm(formerly RotoGrip) for about 2 years now and it hooks more than my Invastion. Not to be rude but maybe im an exception.

  • great song choice

  • Shitty music

  • hey. if i were u i would consider lowering ur backswing.. u have too many moving parts. if u stayed down at the line and were a lot smoother u would be untouchable.. ur bowling theory is grip it and rip it.. look at my videos as of late.. im a lot smoother and i keep everything really fluid and continuous instead of jerking everything around

  • Lol, wanna make your backswing any higher? And if you have 11 balls that's just absolutely pathetic. If you need that many to find a line, you seriously need help.

  • @eliteStrafers actually, i have 11 balls because i bowl tournaments. you probably dont understand lane conditions, so you dont realize that you need more than one ball to bowl well. the tournaments i bowl on are all on different shots, so i need to have options. i dont need 11 balls to find a line, if i want to i could take one ball to league and shoot 650-700

  • @guffnuh I never said only 1 ball.. but 11 is sort of ridiculous.. I do understand lane conditions, I'm not retarded. But the reason you can shoot 650-700 in a league with one ball is because your backswing is in the sky, so you throw the ball 400 MPH. I think almost anyone can get strikes if you whiz a bowling ball down the lane. And, the only reason people bring more than 4 balls to a tournament is because they throw every single one until they get strikes, and buy their talent.

  • @eliteStrafers so you basically said every pro bowler "buys their talent"? and no, i can shoot 650-700 on league because i am a good bowler. i can hit my mark and pick up spares.

  • @guffnuh Look, I never said you weren't a good bowler. From what these videos show, you can hit your mark almost every shot for the most part.. but really, yeah, pro bowlers do sort of buy their talent. If you can bring 4 bowling balls to a totally screwed lane condition, find a mark, and hit, then you're a pro.

  • Comment removed

  • hey man not bad, i was thinking about getting this ball but wasnt sure, like u said it's only good for a month i got the c- system 3.5 and 4.5 crazy good lol ill be posting the vids u soon

  • Nice video, but ya the invasion does die out fast, and dude 300man, its called the plague not the plaque, but i do agree with you about hammers new bowling balls being better than storms new ones.My hammer jigsaw corner and onyx vibe have great reactions, and i just ordered a hammer burn the other day.I am still a fan of storms older stuff such as the hy-road,virtual energy,reign, second dimension, and rapid fire though.

  • Sorry kid but flat house shots do not exist....

  • @erikstan you've obviously never bowled here...

  • i guess smoothness isnt your way

  • Looks pretty decent. If you stay down, and don't grab on it as much in the upswing, it would probably read a little better for you downlane. but all in all, the ball looks great and you have a lot of potential.

  • @mtburr1089 thanks, check out my newest video, i've been working with a coach and my form is getting better

  • well, i sold this ball. its only insane for about a month or so. then it just starts rolling out xD

  • @guffnuh hahaha hey dude thats what i told everybody the balls form storm are the new spongebobs xD

    thats why i stick with hammer and columbia 300

  • @guffnuh yea, that's why i didn't get one, you should think about the prodigy tho, it goes farther down lane with more back-end than than the invasion

  • @10InThePitBowler

    I don't know about more backend than the Invasion, but it is definitely cleaner and more predictable.

  • i'm gonna put a video plaque against that stupid ball that everybody talks about and trust me at dream bowl in fort lauderdale no ball beats down the plaque or jigsaw trap hammer is our brand there and destroy the PINS!!

  • i can play more boards with my jigsaw corner soo yeaa hammer owns storm again and now the plaque is out sooo more HOOK!!

  • @the300man If being "better" comes down to playing more boards, Have a nice glass of "Shut the hell up." Bring any Damn Hammer ball to the lanes, and I'll be able to out hook it with my Hy-road. I don't care how much you think Hammer is better than any other brand, truth is, they're not.

  • what song is this?

    

  • @Blakediddy Still Fly - The Devil Wears Prada

  • The Reign of Fire is way betters than this piece of crap... yet another asymmetric failure from storm.

  • im trying to figure out why you lift your arm up so high, im also a cranker but i dont use all my strength to pull the ball up

  • @WatchmenBowlingTeam and neither do i

  • you clearly do not know what a cranker is, your more of a tweener. Cranker is a release type, so called plant the ball.

    You dont have a lot of revs either, your approach is terrible, you hit the lane hard and have no knee bend.

    maybe work on your footwork and approach and youll look better.

    Im not having a go, just telling you what i see

  • @offspringmadboy watch my new video

  • what song and band is this? sounds great

  • @Jines9 EZ tiger...

  • good song choice...

  • good song choice

  • You are gonna throw your arm out kid....

  • @Jines9 ok then. do you really think thats gonna accomplish anything?

  • @guffnuh what are you talking about no one wants to watch you bowl your not cool

  • @Jines9 apparently 11,263 people do, so...

  • @guffnuh yeah and most of them are ripping on you and besides you bought your talent you have like six balls all im saying is grow up and just worry about bowling dont video tape yourself its extremely gay

  • @Jines9 actually i have 11 balls xD.

  • @guffnuh lol, I thought I was bad at 9

  • @Jines9

    why dont you learn how to bowl and post a few videos so we can rip you a new asshole

  • @guffnuh

    hes just jealous dude. if he posted any videos we would tear him a few new assholes.

  • @DethRail lol, thx. the song is still fly by the devil wears prada.

  • i prefer the jigsaw corner i didn't like this ball sucks too much oil and corner hits harder and outhooks this ball

  • can you force the ball any harder?

  • i just bought an invasion :D

  • hi guffnuff. Just watched your video. Insane ball reaction. I'm getting mine drilled next week. Hope it hits like yours. Thanks Bob.

  • sweet vid bro where you from

  • then u cant count the 300's if they arent certified tard

  • @adrastos123 lol yes i can.

  • nice man

  • your not a cranker more tweener

  • you need to not force the ball and slow your feet down a bit, Your approach is unsteady and accuracy is low because of this. Just a tip, it can help a lot with the whole you not hitting the same spot twice thing. not trying to hate on you, just trying to help out, plus by the time you are 40 you shoulder/arm will be screwed up from this.

  • What's the song in the background?? :D

  • hate to say it but ur more of a tweener than a cranker dude

  • dude dont listen to them there just mad that ur form MAYBE and key word MAYBE worse than theres but ur the better bowler.. keep it up.. but word of advice do try to slow down a bit and keep ur head down

  • @ipittythefool300 its funny you mention that, ive been working on that lately and my release and accuracy are about 10 times better.

  • I own an invasion myself, and i've never seen anything like it, totally insane on the lanes.

  • You could try out the Reign of Fire, I just buy it yesterday and it's agressivness are insane ! I did not bowl with a Storm Invasion but The reign of Fire it's a great ball, you miss a thing if you don't try this ball !

  • Be a man and post your usbc id# with all these 300's and 800's.

  • @downtheout only 1 300 is USBC certified, another is JBT certified, and the rest of the 300's were in practice. as for the 800's, 1 in practice, one in an unsanctioned tournament :P id is 6850-18. for the JBT certified 300, i still got a ring, but it was a JBT ring instead of a USBC ring. the JBT's arent USBC sanctioned

  • Your form and timing are plain awful. I don't think you hit the same board twice in the entire video.

  • @downtheout your just a fag, you dont even have any videos. its okay to be jealous

  • @guffnuh The swing is forced, and the entire motion is unnatural, and far from fluid. Your feet are done moving, and you haven't even started your downswing. I'd bet you spend quite a bit of time clipping 7 pins or clearing the left ditch.

  • @downtheout no, i dont. i spend too much time getting 300's and 800's to worry about the left ditch

  • @guffnuh lol

  • @downtheout

    I have to agree with downtheout.. your good... probly better than me.. idk though.. but your timing is way off.. im not trying to be a dick but its something you should work on

  • @guffnuh or because he is correct in the statement that your form is in dire need of improvement.. and who cares if they dont have any videos.... dont turn this battle into a war of the Epeens....

  • ok bud, im just saying work on your balance and fundamentals. 1800 all events at the open championships is not that good.

  • you're going to ruin your back when you get older.

  • not impressed, lilac is a ditch with a funnel to the hole. plus your are no where near where you need to be fundamentally to score on any pattern that has less taper. have the mechanic put out something tough and actually practice.

  • @tbizzle777, i bowled on the open championships pattern today and averaged 206 for 10 games, and in the JBT's in spokane i average 204, and those tournaments are at almost every house in the area.

  • you know they say dont muscle your swing

  • I have better luck with my smash zone there!!! My invasion was drilled really strong to!! LOL and no I throw Tuesday and Friday night!! I am going to to do the Pba unleashed in deer park tho!!!

  • Man I got mine and threw it in Spokane and it was moving half!! So much oil!!! Love the ball here in the deer park lanes tho!!

  • @Dooba33 deer park is easy though xD. are you a junior bowler because i won the JBT up at deer park

  • Comment removed

  • Hey bro, nice bowling. I just picked one of these up today used from one of my friends. I think its drilled like yours. Pin above middle, cg right with the mb about half inch right of thumb.. Anyways nice shootin dude, your video made my decision on buying this ball.

  • @expressauto cool, glad to inspire you xD

  • I am not trying to cut down anyone. I've coached youth and high school kids for years and I want everyone to succeed at bowling, thus the comments. I am also a student of the game and strive to get better myself, so if you can pick 10 things out of my bowling to help me, then by all means. I uploaded my first video the other day throwing the new Lane #1 Curve. As far as Guffnuh, keep working at it man, you're good and with work could be really good.

  • wasnt talking to u man was talking to the other people that r cutting him down. u know what ur talking about and i have respect for u. just the other d-bags who think they have to b asses about it.. u have a nice for u just bend ur waist to much at the end and follow through isnt all the way but ur smooth and consistent.. like the form. and sorry for the confusion wasnt meant for u.

  • wow people really? do u really feel that bad about urself that u have to log on to youtube to try and cut down other people to make urself feel better. ya so what if the kid doesnt have a perfect form but i gurantee that if i watched u bowl i could pick out 10+ things that u r doing wrong. there is NO perfect bowler in bowling not even pros so shut the fuck up all u haters and respect what people can do and sit there and think how much of a jackass u look like right now

  • you, my friend, are awesome. xD

  • There's really nothing flat about that pattern at all. You had a few shots break around 13-14 and some out as far a 5-6 and they all just walked back to the pocket. Which screams "wall shot!" You have a consistent release which is good, you generally let go of the ball the same way. The super-high back swing is throwing the timing of your shots off though, which is why the accuracy is not very good. Ideally the backswing should never go higher than the ball starts initially in your stance.

  • Comment removed

  • hey guff i have a question for ya, did you continusously record the whole game you bowled or did you pause it after every shot.?
