The best ball is the one that matches YOUR style and the lane conditions that day. How you get there is the challenge: equipment and bowler adjustments.

Great video as always bro. Time stamps would be very helpful for viewers looking for a specific ball or brand

I reall appreciate these balls reviews. I would sure like to see a segment addressing older bowlers with much lower speeds and rev rates on typical house patterns. What would you recommend for us?

Longer format, shorter format, I watch it all. <br><br>The Pitch Black is not the "top" ball in my arsenal, but it is very necessary for me. It is the first ball out of the bag to assure I have proper hold downlane for my other stuff. It is also the ball I go to for when the lanes get weird later on in a block/league, PLUS it is my spare ball.

Thanks for the feedback from the bowlers you see, because it's too easy to just take the word of popular reviewers who can control the balls to make them perform well unlike the average bowler who only has a small skill to shape the throw!

3.0 in B is wild. That's the best ball I've ever thrown. Resurface it every few months and you will be fine.

Great job with this list, and thank you for taking the crazy amount of time and energy it must have taken to make this video!

Primal Ghost might be one of my favorite balls ever, have my highest house shot series and a 300 with it and averaged 235 with it to win my high school state championships

Zak, always enjoying listening to you. Knowledgable, interesting and you let everyone know they can have a different option. Kudos. Btw, I can confirm Alert is 100% S tier.
