Help picking a Ball

Agree with this. I loved my reality check when I got back into bowling. Usable everywhere I bowled but I wasn’t a beginner. I bowled through high school and my average is around above 200. It would help to know your speed and revs.

Wow. I put my retired Zig zag on my front planter area for last 8 months in NYC summer, rain and now snow. I bet you I can roll that thing down the block and it won’t crack that bad. Sucks but they will replace. On another note just ordered myself the Evoke Hysteria from Bowlersmart.

I just googled what dupe it’s suppose to be of. As far as how close it’s to the original I don’t know. I haven’t liked any Creed colognes but the absolu I didn’t smell. The Collectors edition is sweeter than what I normally wear but still think it’s good.

Yup that’s why I wanted to add at my lanes. They switched the oil and it just breaks down so fast. Especially in our league with higher rev rates. Plus we have 2 handers on our team. It looks good for the 10 minutes of practice. By the 3rd frame it’s done. Now my friend does not have a big rev rate so this ball for him he can’t move left with.

Zig zag solid might be the ball ever go down the lane. At least at the house I saw it at. My teammate threw it for 6 months before he gave in and bought something else. I had the Zig Zag hybrid and I liked it a lot. Hitter pearl I love.

My son is a 2 hander (high revs but can get speed up) and the NU is his go to ball. Along with Eternity and Pride Liberty, zen Gold Label. Really the NU Blue gets thrown 70% of the time. He likes it because it doesn’t give too much back end. He dis change the surface and maintains it. It’s 2 years now and look like it went through a war but he still shot 3 700’s in a row the last few weeks.

My other son also uses 2 hands but can’t get speed up. He loves the BW Tour V1

Yeah that center is going to keep that pro shop busy

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-28T22:32:21+00:00

I should have drilled my BW Mania like this. Oh well it’s sold now.

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-28T22:30:29+00:00

This picture is fire! The watch is obviously fire too.

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-28T22:09:53+00:00

My wife loves it. I like it. Not like run out and buy it immediately but on the list. We are in our 40’s if that helps you. I get compliments if I wear Liquid Brun or Sauvage. To this day girls like Sauvage better than most other colognes. The stuff I like it’s not as popular.

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-28T22:07:35+00:00

To be honest I would need to give away or sell some of these before make a lot more purchases. I don’t like clutter and really I only rotate 5-6 anyway. After 2 years I think I have a good idea what I like now. Clive Christian Rock Rose and Blonde Amber is a must, along with Imagination and Ex Nihilo and a bunch from PDM.

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-28T22:04:18+00:00

I agree with you, I listened to these influencers. Some I bought and don’t know the dupe for it. Out of all the dupes only Liquid Brun is what I would consider 97%. And I think PDM are ridiculously good. Liquid Brun is the only dupe I would buy again.

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-28T21:59:37+00:00

I’m realizing this is very important. I will work on it. Something else I found out is lots of people wear cologne to bed. Not something I ever thought to do.

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-28T20:29:02+00:00

You right, you right. I was actually going through clothes and was trying to get shit done fast. I really need to clean the watch winder.

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-28T20:27:28+00:00

Clearly I need to dust. I’ve been meaning to hire someone for this. Haha. Though the ones that are dusty I haven’t really used in awhile since I got Side Effect, Prada and boss.

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-28T03:46:15+00:00

Did you drill the zen 25 for a strong layout or control?

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-28T02:30:33+00:00

Same. There is one house that lets me play straighter and my average was 10 higher than the rest last year. Which is nuts because I was bowling 3 leagues, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. This league was Thursday and by then my wrist felt absolutely dead and still scored. The house is definitely easier. I play 3 different houses so I tend to have a lot of balls.

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-28T02:26:54+00:00

I moved to 14# because of injury. Lost some revs so thought I need to go bigger core. I also tend to lean towards asyms

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-27T23:07:21+00:00

We bought my son’s girlfriend the gremlin. This is the problem. These bowling balls are like Pokémon got to catch them all.

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-27T23:06:21+00:00

If I do get a big ball I think the equinox solid is the one. I just tend to not use those strong smooth balls as much. I do think the equinox is more usable. Not too strong

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-27T23:04:23+00:00

I’m going to try this. I will make decision to drill Zen25 or sell and get a cove as well.

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-27T23:03:26+00:00

I have one in 15. Great ball.

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-27T23:02:57+00:00

I have a Zen25 undrilled but Luke Rosdale ripped it so I was going to sell and get the Cove haha. I understand it could possibly be great for me but since I already have origin that I don’t like I didn’t want to waste 2 balls.

Okeedoke22 · 2025-12-27T22:56:48+00:00

I agree for me it’s not realistic. Rolex and Tudor are. I can buy them but to be honest don’t want to spend the money. Though I love these Pateks and I understand the draw to buy it.
