Radical Evil Eye Review

We don't do a whole lot of these kind of videos now, do we? This is like bonus material. I need to get that DVD. And there's like deleted scenes and commentary. That's what this is all about. Great start. What's up, guys? Brunick's back and so is the evil eye. I know what you're thinking. Didn't you already do this ball? Yes, I did. Well, we're changing

up the layouts [snorts] and we're going to do another review. Unheard of in this economy, whatever that means. Anyway, well, I can't wait to see what this evil eye does with a different layout on it with Spectto running, of course. But before we get to all that, please subscribe to my channel if you haven't already. Now, let's see some more Spectto numbers with an evil eye, different layout. All right, it's time to check out this second evil eye. If this is the first evil eyee video you're watching on my

channel, click off. Go watch that original video. It'll make this one make a lot more sense of what we're doing here. So, what do we change? We changed the layout. So the video in the first one uses my same exact layout 60x 4 1.5 by 20 which is not on the sheet but the same principles will apply with this new ball which we drilled with the same pin to PAP the same VAL angle but we shifted from 60 to 20 now and we should avoid

that protrusion in the core and effectively lower the differential and lower the intermediate. That's the plan. So bowling on Crown Jewel, same pattern, same everything. And then in a future video, we're going to compare heads up with Spectto this ball versus that ball. And we're going to try it. So once this ball gets equalized, I get some games on it. Get it equal to the ball over here cuz I'm going to show you after about five games. Looks quite a bit different now, doesn't it? Okay,

so let's get on with this. We're gonna do this video like a normal review. I'm going to talk about it. Strengths, weaknesses started out. Move it in. Let's get right into this. Yeah, we don't do a whole lot of these kind of videos now, do we? This is like bonus material. I need to get that DVD. And there's like deleted scenes and commentary. That's what this is all about.

Great start. And I know I'm being superficial, but I'm really going to like to see that radical R near my axis right there when I throw that shot. You know, you see it right at that spot. So, here's what we're looking for. We're going to be looking for thinner flare, more control. And well, right out of the gate, I can't say that that's a thing so far. So, we're just going to keep trying this ball. See it break in.

We're going to go through the motions. So, off first glance, I am not getting less flare. That's okay. Let's see what the ball reaction actually does here. Still plenty strong. That's one thing you can't deny with this ball, the strength of it. how much it digs in and how much back end it creates and and

saves for that. You know, a symmetrical ball where the numbers go up. You know, we're gonna have to get these on our RG swing to see for sure. We're going kind of off script with the layout, which isn't a huge deal, but there is a little bit of a difference there. But if you watch my league video, I did struggle with this ball on wood lanes. You never know what to expect. High friction cover. It did. It didn't perform as I wanted. The right lane killed me that night. So, but we're back in the friendly confines of Brunswick HQ on the

pattern developed for my strike ability. That's right. Crown Jewel. That's in the oil. There we go. So, yeah, we're going to rely on some Spectto data and then you be the judge. And you see if you've watched that first video already, let's compare it to this one. And then later, we're going to compare them side by side. But I want the covers to get a little closer to one another. Get this

ball some shots on it. Get some lane shine on it and go from there. All right, let's move zones. Let's get into 20. We shot three there. Let's do it again. Now we get a little bit more angle here. I don't know if I feel pumped today, if I'm throwing it hard. Like I said, I don't ever look at the Spectto data while I'm filming. This is all after the fact. I let my eyes be my interpreter.

So, that tells me that I can probably soften up a little bit. Maybe get the rev rate up a little bit if I'm hitting light mixer at this uh kind of shallow at an angle. There we go. Nice [snorts] beauty. Yeah, without throwing the original one that I drilled and that's going to be for the later video when we

compare them side by side. But it's hard to say if this one's different yet or not. You know, it still hits hard, rolls up hard. Am I seeing any major major differences? Not off the cuff right now, but that's okay. The whole point of this was to see if I can make this into a more symmetrical ball by missing that protrusion. Uh oh, that's wide.

Kind of a hook set right there. That zone looks good. 20. Even the first zone was not bad as long as I didn't get it to the dry immediately. But a little inside out swing makes this one look pretty good. I don't remember what happened when the 20 last time. I think it was good. Most all the zones were good. I just mostly remember that when I got in that ball was fantastic and it got better and better as I moved

more in. So, let's move another five. Getting to 25 here. Oh jeez, that wide. Yeah, that ball had a little bit of quit in it. I sent it out too. Probably three board. Used all of its energy. Rolled forward at the end there. First light mixer we did not carry. How could you evil eye? How could you?

Gassed you up into thinking you can just strike at will everywhere, every zone. Let's try not to throw it like that again. Huh? There we go. Come on. Who am I? Who am I kidding? We don't carry those on this channel, Nick. We don't carry messengers, even when they don't belong. That wasn't a traditional

messenger hit. That was just a wrap 10 all day. All right, that was probably like six boards left of the last shot. Five, six at least. Let's throw one more. Let's try to get it somewhere in between. This is probably around 67 there. >> [laughter] >> It's just going to be a running joke from now on. Yeah. All right. So, this zone seems to

found a spot where maybe it's not right matchup. Sometimes I find this the tipping zone where playing straight in that 20 zone was great, but now that we moved in 25, it's not as great. Starting to go away from the pocket a little bit more and we're starting to see it labor little bit come behind the headpin. Oh, let's move more. Let's get in another 30. That's where we're at. 30, my boy. Now, let's see what happens when we open

it up, soften the speed, and get around it. I feel like I might be gassing it just a little bit. Throwing it through the spot. Let's try to gear down. Get away from that light mixer. See if we can't get that ball to recover like the original. Maybe I'm overthrowing it. Maybe I'm just pumped drilling a second one. Phil said do it

there. That's softer. Okay, softer and in a little bit. That turned the corner. I am going to try this ball at the House of Pain. I think maybe something maybe a little bit more stable rolling. And even though this thing is flaring like crazy. See, I do see a little bit of difference with just how it kind of torqus kind of comes off that spot and goes through the pins.

I felt like the other one was a little bit more pronounced. It's hard to say for sure until you get them really heads up and let the Spectto do the numbers talking. That's way softer. It's pure rolling. I do believe this is going to be a very versatile ball for a lot of players. And what I'm realizing in this review is that the drill sheet, while you don't have to stick to it, because obviously there's not two-handed layouts, I didn't

stick to it and the ball rolls phenomenal, is that if you want to see those after numbers, those are all mapped out prior based on a lot of different specs. So, if you want to see those numbers and achieve and hit those numbers, you got to follow the drill sheet. This was kind of a guess because we're not using the same numbers to get like that lower flare. So 20 by 3 and 1/2 by 20 gets you that lower flare and lower

intermediate compared to layout A which is 70 by 3 and 1/2 by 20. So the only thing that changed there is the CG location. I th I threw all my shots there. Let's move into 35. Let's open it up now. See what happens. That's wide. Yeah. Okay. Don't do that. Don't send it wide. But we need to test.

We need to see where the ball cries uncle. And if it does cry uncle now, is it flat tenning like that because it ran out of energy? roll forward? I'm guessing yes. Did it overflare? No. I think it just got to that spot and just rolled more forward. It just used up a lot of energy getting back. Let me see that here. If you throw it to the dry too quick.

Oh, that's in holes pocket. Nice. That's going to have a lot of oil rings on it when it comes back. We're going to look at that one more time. I got a handful. Probably got a side on the side of it a lot more. Let's see what this looks like. No lack for flare with this change in CG location. One more shot here and then we'll throw one more and wrap it up. I like that 20

zone a lot. That's in more. [laughter] Yes. Trip four. Yeah, I can see carrying both of these with a little different surface. That's another video we can do later. Is I've always been a fan in my older in my younger days, sorry, old old school days of polish. I used to polish a lot of things cuz it looked cool for me. We

bowled out a lot of house stuff and uh it rolled best. Nowadays, I don't have that rev rate that I had then. I don't uh I pull out the house of pain. True. But I just don't throw a lot of shiny stuff. So, let's move back to 20. Let's throw one more shot. We'll wrap up this video. I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like I can play a little more down and in with this ball and and hook it if I need to.

I feel like I can play that all day. So, all right. That's for the second review of the evil eye. Hope you learned something. I learned a little something that I don't think I hit the achieved numbers of layout A and E with that 4 and 1/2 in pin layout. So, we can always get this on the RG swing or have Stevie Fresh map it out and see what happened. What did I miss? But I know what you didn't miss. You didn't miss a second review on a hot ball that's coming out.

So, hope you learned everything. Check out the merch on Inside Bowling. Check out the crew. Memberships are available to you. And check out the comparison video with Spectto on both these bowling balls coming out soon. See you guys on that video.
