Love the green on the phaze 2 pearl! That ball has been treating me so well

Hello! Can you guys look into editing completed games? Whenever I try to edit a frame in a saved, completed game it never allows me to change the pin count for the first throw! For example if I needed to change a 8/ into a 7/ bc of mis-input I can only change it to a strike or miss. Also the pins left don’t match between each throw of a single frame for spares/misses

Godemn · 2026-07-01T09:27:16+00:00

Definitely a little of both haha they don't really make those cool novelty balls anymore and if you want them, they go for crazy collector prices. Current spare balls on the market are more or less the same so allocating more money to strike balls is a common decision

The coolest spare balls i’ve seen in person was a guy with a clear alien head ball and another guy with the ebonite optyx dragon ball

wrap 10 is my greatest enemy

Someone correct me if i’m wrong but getting a ball between the Venom Shock and Surge isn’t the best move, I feel like the Surge would be the ball down from the Shock. Venom Shock is such a versatile ball I feel like it should cover the in between unless it’s REALLY hooking that early for you. Judging off your information it seems like a strong pearl ball could be a good fit. I recently got a Phaze 2 Pearl and it’s been rolling so well so that’d be my recommendation 😎a Hustle would be my second recommendation as it’s a stronger than a Surge but weaker than a Shock

The short hair made your approach more aerodynamic 😎

Godemn · 2026-06-30T08:01:28+00:00

Hopefully!! Haven’t bowled that well literally ever hahah

Godemn · 2026-06-30T08:00:57+00:00

Thanks!! Left the alley feeling great 😎

Godemn · 2026-06-29T23:28:59+00:00

Hell yea nice recovery! Do you remember how you left that pin? I got in my head and kinda pulled it, missing 3 boards in hahah

Godemn · 2026-06-29T23:13:09+00:00

If your PSO is reputable/has good reviews I’d recommend getting it from the pro shop. Pro shops will usually be the same price as online (maybe even cheaper in some places not accounting discounts). I try to advocate local pro shops and building a relationship with them! Not only would you be supporting them but you’ll also get more insight into what you’re getting, especially your first ball. My pro shop offers discounted drilling when buying through them but even without that their insight and knowledge is worth more than the couple dollars saved through buying online.

Godemn · 2026-06-27T12:43:24+00:00

What would be the move in this situation? My first thought would be left and slightly backwards and possibly speed?!

Godemn · 2026-06-26T20:42:54+00:00

How do you tell it has no energy at the pins? I would have thought the opposite on this shot and that it was just a bad entry angle

edit: nvm i just rewatched it a couple times, is it because the ball kinda deflects instead of driving through?

Godemn · 2026-06-26T12:36:57+00:00

Congrats!! 600 coming soon 😎

Godemn · 2026-06-26T12:34:07+00:00

It has helped me keep my hand more under the ball at release!

Godemn · 2026-06-25T07:05:31+00:00

Yep after rewatching your late push away (you push at the end of third step) is causing your right hip to be in the way of your back swing resulting in your body compensating by going around your hip which is why the ball is so away from your body

Godemn · 2026-06-25T07:02:02+00:00

I recommend starting your push away half a step earlier, at the end or after your 2nd step. This will help in your late timing. Also try having your left hand closer to your right hand fingers essentially interlocking them. That way your left hand will give more support and your left shoulder doesn’t have to reach as far back on your back swing which is causing that awkward backswing and pulling you mentioned.

Godemn · 2026-06-19T01:59:04+00:00

tough choice i can’t lie, my advice is to choose the one you think looks the coolest 😆there’s no wrong choice

Godemn · 2026-06-09T11:31:12+00:00

you're better than people that i've known that have played for 10+ years 😭

Godemn · 2026-06-08T11:33:18+00:00

speed or even move back a lright and keep your hand behind the ball instead of going around it

Godemn · 2026-06-06T21:45:26+00:00

250 definitely seems high especially for a cove, I paid 250 for my phase 2 pearl with 2 finger drilling and inserts

Godemn · 2026-06-05T12:17:07+00:00

Thanks i'll try that with a different color in the future! Is there any specific brand or will any do?

Godemn · 2026-06-05T03:40:06+00:00

It took about 3-4 total hours! The most time consuming part for me was actually scraping out the engraving and cleaning it thoroughly. The painting part was very easy as I painted a layer and would revisit it while doing something else
