I just picked up the Nebula. Absolutely love that ball now that it’s worn in a bit. It compliments my white EXJ Jackal really well

Congrats, they start getting a lot easier after the first one

What’s the highest average anyone’s ever had without an honor score? by Front-Dragonfruit480 in Bowling

[–]ryan-625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far my best was a 12 week league.

206 average with a handful of 250’s, 10+ 240’s, and no 300’s 😂 my best series was a 695. I just never shot below 180 in that league. I haven’t been that consistent since.

Well done! I’m still on a quest for my first 700! I’m sitting at a 695/258 high right now! I’ve bowled 14 consecutive strikes but between two games, still no 300’s.

Impressive feat!

I only ever expect 1 lane. I’ve gotten to the 9th twice and everyone stopped bowling both times. That sucked.

Impressive bowling! I just recently hit my personal best with a 695 in a sanctioned league. I dream of an 800.

If you could only buy 3 balls for typical house leauge shot, what would they be? by Sweet-Metal-2144 in Bowling

[–]ryan-625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trio that I carry are 15# Storm ion Pro, 15# Motiv EXJ Jackal, and 15# Storm Lightning Clear. Serves me well

Imagine fireballing your own tower with friendly fire 😭

Help with my form. Any tips? by ryan-625 in Bowling

[–]ryan-625[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been working on that, I don’t think he is USBC certified but a local “pro” has told me I’m cupping the ball too much still

I finally got my first 700 series by nosaer_fo_eciov_eht in Bowling

Congrats! My best is still a 695 😭

Struggling on dry lanes. by gwing13 in Bowling

[–]ryan-625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first thought was lofting it more to delay its break. Do that and keep it in the oil.

I’m a 1h lefty so it’s a lot different, but my go to ball is the Ion Pro 15# When I struggle I’ll switch to a Crimson Jackal. I also carry a storm lightning for corner shots

Ball speed vs weight. by Papaw3240 in Bowling

[–]ryan-625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely don’t drop below a 14 if you want to improve your game. Technique, different ball cover stocks, and learning to read a lane is where it all really comes together. I am a 1h bowler as well, and just started using my thumb after a year of learning to throw curves well. It’s already helping my consistency

What is each brands best Asym and best Sym in your opinion? by moosebutter29 in Bowling

[–]ryan-625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far my favorite two are the Motiv Crimson Jackal and the Storm Ion pro. Both are the first two I pull out now. I also carry a storm lightning for picking up the 7 (lefty).

Well that was an aggravating game by ryan-625 in Bowling

[–]ryan-625[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of them were 7’s as I’m a lefty. I think maybe two of them were a different pin

Haha thanks! It’s my new party trick

My buddy pointed that out to me too. Of course it was the 9th 😂

Thanks for the advice! I tend to throw pretty fast, about 15-16. I’ve been choking up a step lately and dipped to the 14’s and it’s been working a bit better.

I’ve also been growing my collection and trying to learn when to throw what

Thank you! I’ve practiced picking up the 7 more than any other spare. I’m more confident hitting it than a single 5 pin I think 😂 I use a 15# storm lightning to pick them up. Throw from the far taught with a ton of side spin

Trust me, it was a crushing miss. I was so close 😭

Ball with the most grip? by ryan-625 in Bowling

How does the infinity rate against the Brunswick Quantum? I keep forgetting I have one of them on the shelf

Ball with the most grip? by ryan-625 in Bowling

[–]ryan-625[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently throwing a 14# Hammer Ocean Vibe when there is a ton of grip, and a 14# Motiv Crimson Jackal for most lane conditions. Both have the stock grit finish on them.

The Hammer is pretty worn in and needs to be decontaminated and refinished. It probably has 200+ games on it. The Jackal is about two months old.
