Storm Phaze AI Review

welcome back to the channel guys it's casual Friday as we don't normally film on Fridays but Storm's got a brand new bowling ball for you phase AI [Music]

phase AI you probably could have seen this coming we've been slapping AI on every good bowling ball we have and now let's come down to the phase so we have obviously the original phase core modified with AI it's a little stronger a little lower RG a little higher diff overall just a bit more hook so we've got a one-handed and a two-handed phase AI along with Optimum idle and a Sublime only one-handed comparisons today and then the two-handed ones for your two-handed enjoyment but our one-handed one is 5x 4 and 1/4 x 2 and 1/2 fairly standard pinup layout for myself slightly above my middle

[Music] finger and we the lanes up they are quite cliffed well we are bowling on the boletopia 46t 31 mil pattern three games plus a little bit of practice has already been bowled so this is about the time you would throw this ball I would normally throw something asymmetric just to get it started started because of the 46 ft but we should be able to get this one to look pretty

[Music] [Applause] [Music] good hi even on the bad shots so far so good so where does this ball fit we're going to figure that out together here

so we do have Sublime we have Optimum idle I am predicting this one is going to go below those two strengthwise the cover is not as strong the core I think a little less differential which means just a little less hook we'll throw the phase AI one more time then we'll go to the other ones [Music]

large crank I can tell this one's kind of struggling a little bit from where we're at I think the two-handed one's going to look really good I think the other two bowling balls are probably not going to look as good one because of the layout two because they're a little bit stronger and when you're trying to hook the lane a little more especially on these longer patterns turn or the front of the lane blows up a lot faster you have to move a little more frequently those really strong covers are going to really hook use up their energy in the front bog down Lane which means they don't want to hook down Lane as much so we'll display what that looks like here so we got a Sublime this one actually has a stronger layout 4 and 1/2 in pin with a 1 and 1/2 in buffer and this is

the ball I was throwing in the video prior and she was starting to get a little tired towards the end [Music] [Applause] [Music] yeah I don't know if you guys could tell but that one strained out really bad I didn't really throw that great but I have to try a lot harder to get this ball to hook down Lane than the phase AI I actually learned something interesting about the sublime that I didn't know it doesn't have that density Puck inside attached to the core so it doesn't want

to turn over as hard as an idle or a phase type ball if you feel like your sublimes are a lot smoother than your idle or phase 2os that's why we'll throw one more time we'll try to get a strike and then we'll go to the optimum idle Pro a little [Music] better yeah kind of the same thing I'm not going to throw another one just because that ball is just way too stable in that spot and the layout's making it go forward pretty fast so it's going to

be a lot harder to hook the lane this ball is going to be much better right of 20 than just not giving the pocket away as much I can kind of say the same for Optimum idle Pearl it is pinned down 5 and 1/4 in pin 4 and 3/4 in buffer which means it's going to be longer smoother it's going to go straighter so I'm going to have to work this one pretty hard to try to get it around the corner standing in the same spot for all of them right now [Music]

Optimum idle just kicks a little bit easier I'm assuming because of that density [ __ ] inside if you guys aren't bowling nerds that just means the way the core is shaped it's going to want to turn over harder than the sublime that actually looked okay but if we throw the phase AI compared to it more ideal layout Pressure cover also shinier it's going to get through the front a little easier it's going to turn down l a little easier in turn strike a little easier pretty [Music]

good bang bang what else do we have to say about this ball black gray white oh for uh anyone that's ever had almond Jello-O that that to me is what this smells like but it's supposed to be cherry vanilla soda or something like that throw the two-handed one you guys ready for this I just changed my pitches I'm now a half reverse trying to figure out why I throw Simo and Buy's ball so much better than my own the only difference I could think of was the amount of reverse and this feels way [Music]

better ah the lane are just getting a little Cliff I went for 5x 4x4 2 LS on the two-handed one a lot of my balls are like four 4 and 1/2 in pins but I think I'm learning how to roll it more so I'm starting to go for slightly weaker layouts so I can get the ball down the lane easier what's the adjustment here slower steeper more rotation [Music] [Music]

if we're going to get those cool Messengers I think we need to give it away a little more but we got to get it there quicker that was like in that perfect slot where it doesn't want to hook let's see if we can do it the left lane is a lot fresher so it's kind of doing back flips over there and the strikes were looking quite nasty realistically this is probably when we would use this ball around this time so I don't like the uh ridiculous looking strikes cuz then you get the ridiculous looking splits as well that might do [Music]

something nins aren't cool but anyways I felt like we've been missing a ball like this for a while something a little cleaner that we can move left with Optimum idle Pearl is a pearl but it's still pretty strong coverwise and don't get me wrong this ball is still plenty strong but a little bit cleaner kind of a onew punch in the clean ball category I would go pin up on the phase AI pin down on the optimum idle Pearl just to kind of work in their strengths a little more at least for me I like my Idols pinned down let's see if we can get a cool one here or just a perfect strike

[Music] they're just getting kind of tight down L you know there's always so much friction to work with when it's 46 ft as we're pushing the lanes down might be getting close to 48 49 50 ft now so it's

not going to Boom off it as hard but on the longer patterns if you do want more hook down Lane you got to go left you got to find more oil because free push is free hook but fit above ooh if you got IQ Ruby I would still put this above ion Pro ion Pro is kind of a specialty ball though those Loi balls kind of the same with the IQs kind of in a class of their own step up from the high roads for sure balls of that nature oh here we

[Music] [Applause] go up keep climbing until we're on top leave the shadow we got that one ripped pretty good the hand pop came back don't like that but it's kind of wild that I typically have my staple bowling balls in my bag before it was like reality Phase 2 High Road

Pearl pitch black but I do feel like I can just fill my bag out with all the new stuff I like ion Max a lot optimal idle attention star ion Pro Optimum idle Pearl and then I'll probably have this to R out the bag oh that was crammed [Music] on [Music]

head tell these longer patterns if they're pretty high ratio usually left is the Miss that's typically why I bow a little better on the longer Stu hopefully you guys found this video informing enough for you to decide if you want a phase AI or not and if you do decide to get one make sure you go to your local store and VIP Pro Shop PR order one and it releases October 18th 2024 make sure you like comment and subscribe for this [Music] strike our together we
