here I got that typical 45x 4 1/2x 45 layout on it we're going to take it out here on a fresh house condition 42 ft and we're going to see what she's got here in a minute stay tuned they say bowling is a dying [Music] sport a dying [Music] sport I disagree I

disagree I disagree I disagree I disagree bowlerx.com For the Love of [Music] bowling all right here we go folks we got the uh the new Nova by Storm bowling uh pretty sweet asymmetric solid bowling ball uh you can see I got the typical

45x 4 1/2x 45 layout hey and by the way we are here at bowler X pro shop and training center so anytime you want to come up and see me or Greg we are up here you can get all of your equipment up here for you uh or you can go over to bx.com and get yours but come on up here we're here Monday uh Monday Tuesday Wednesday from 3:00 to 8: closed on Thursdays back again on Friday from 3:00 to 7:00 weekends you can try to catch us sometimes most times uh starting in January to be gone a lot because of PBA events and all that so um but today

we've got the Nova so we're going to take a look and I know this is coming out well before the release day so you guys get a chance to see it we're going to take a look we're going to go straight and we're going to try and see what she's got all the way through I threw it a little bit over on Lane 25 I got to tell you I'm I'm actually quite pleasantly surprised by this ball and that's one of the reasons why not the RP 10 but the actual you could see

the ball actually float through that dry part as a solid as an ASM it did a really good job getting through there the other reason why I'm excited about this bowling ball is because it uh still allows me to go around the lane a little bit which is pretty cool so and you'll see that here unless the topography on 25 is just completely different who knows uh but I'm going to move three left with my feet two left with my eyes keep my hand in a straighter more rly forward hand

position and you just watch the ball roll off the dry never does anything crazy doesn't overhook doesn't overreact it doesn't read super early it's a Clean Cover so for a dull ball that comes out of the box really dull I'm shocked with how well they got this through there and the reason I'm uh pleasantly surprised by this is because in my opinion and being completely honest and transparent which everybody knows I already am anyway so uh I might might make storm

mad with this but I personally haven't seen a good solid bowling ball that has spit my game from them in a long time uh that gravity evolv with the review that I did was that was that one was hard work it was hard to it was hard to throw that ball because I didn't like the motion of it you know so and I can't even think back to when I really enjoyed a solid you know strong cover bowling ball from them typically Storm bowling balls for me are very good at you know playing further left having the cleaner cover with sharp downline angles it's

been really good for me doing that so um you know like my Dart code now that altered reality stuff like that the rst X2 those bowling balls are super duper good at you know what I typically see from them so I'm really good and I'm really surprised that this ball is you know good for me right now so I'm going to move move three more left again and two more

left and again still rolling it now don't take too much consideration into those flat tens because that's just me really just rolling the ball forward and creating you know straighter angles with it so we can get those 10 pins out pretty simply just by strengthening our hand a little bit getting into a Little Bit Stronger position with our hand so for me if I want that 10 pin out from the same spot without moving my feet at all I'm actually going to go here and just rotate my fingers down I'm just

rolling them down just a little bit that just gets me in a little bit stronger position that may not work for you but that's what works for me and then you just dead flat miss it at the bottom see I was too worried about showing you guys let me try it again that was silly but for me again so I'll show you that so when my hand is there I've already showed you guys now in the last couple of videos you saw how I changeed to get around it to Rolling it when I'm

here with the ball where I'm rolling it just straight up and down I just bring my fingers towards my left knee I just come down just a little bit with my left with my fingers towards my left knee this almost just gives me it's still forward you can see but it gives me just it's almost like it gives me maybe just a a little bit more tilt which might give it a little bit more pop down Lane so let me try that again and not look like a fool making a bad shot on an example

shot so straight fingers down a little bit that's better so now that one picks up and you can see it really start to get going just a little bit better from that same part of the lane so that's what I was trying to do last time and the last time I just dead flat missed it at the bottom so can't do that so we know we're seeing good roll good early smooth ball reaction not necessarily early but just

smooth I'm going to finish five off I'm going to go four left now gets me to my feet on 30 and now we'll start rotating our hand around it a little bit so again it's here down and over to get around it just a pinch you can see that just picks up and does the right thing going through the pin it's pretty amazing you know for a solid bowling ball it's hard to see oh it's a nail huh it's hard to

find good solid bow balls that do them you know the last one was that idle that idle's uh Helios was pretty good allowed me to do a lot of different things with it you know so this reminds me of it but this is just an Asim version go five more left now we get our hand around it just a little bit more I mean that's just sicking that's

crazy that you can do that that this ball still picks up in that same spot and still goes through the PIN I mean that's that's unbelievable that's what we're looking for so you're going to see me at least as of right now a lot of my comparison videos are probably going to be you know when you see solids come out I'm going to compar this to those solids see what we end up with move five more left

here see if we can't start to go around the lane a little bit oh that almost N9 pin almost 79 it almost could have been a lot of different problems but that was still pretty good again we're going left and it's still getting through the pens we are in good shape I left this out of box folks I didn't do anything crazy with it it's just that typical 45x 4 1/2 by

45 so now we are standing 40 and we're going to be right around that 209 or 20 21 Range man look at that little deflection there you see a little deflection but again it's that's to be expected you expect a big strong solid ball like this to kind of give you a little bit of maybe a little bit of stop a little bit

of deflection especially being asymmetric but it's it's going it's still going we'll see now we'll get up against the ball return and try to get to that 22 23 range this thing doesn't stop it just doesn't stop

that's a six bagger right there six bagger with that fluffy bad shot before all right let's get in front of the ball return I will be super shocked I haven't thrown it in front of the ball return yet but I will be no what's up I got a yeah he's in uh he's in that office right there thank you sorry you're all right so we're going to uh get in front of the B turn now I didn't throw this one from in front of the ball return yet so I don't know if it's going

to do anything here or not but let's see what we got I give up I'm not I'm not doing it anymore I can't throw this ball anymore I just can't do it I can't do it all right there you go so there is that stupid silly unbelievably good bowling ball the Nova by storm um you don't hear me say this too often but that's probably the best solid

bowling ball I've ever thrown unless I'm making a mistake and it's actually a hybrid I didn't look at it I don't know but it looks like a solid so I'm calling it a solid the best strong bowling ball strong asymmetric that I've ever thrown in my life so honestly if you don't get one of these you're kind of silly you're probably an idiot unless you're on staff with somebody then obviously there's a reason you can't throw it but if you're not on staff or you are on storm staff and you don't have one of these in your bag you're foolish because this thing let me do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted I could go straight I could go around the lane it didn't stop ever we

finished with a seven bagger and I was throwing it all over the dang Lane so make sure to get yourself one hit the link in the description get yours over at bux.com or come up here to Waterford Lanes I'm inside at bullx pro shop and training center and we will get you taken care of stop up see me see Greg uh and we'll get you taken care of but that's all I got for you uh and until next time we'll see you guys later take care [Music]
