Funny, but I bowl two-handed and find this ball totally controllable and the hook is anything but a hockey stick shape. I suppose it all comes down to how it is drilled and how it comes off your hand.

Tackett averaged 230 and that has never happened on the tour, so whatever ball or balls that he used to accomplish that should all be your top 5!!!!

Any chance you're going to look at the upcoming Brunswick Vaporize? Curious how the Outer Limits pearl would compare to it.

What would be some good complimentary pieces to this ball?

Is this with the 14 pound ball with the higher RG?

Might be a stupid question but new to bowling. Got a. Ocean. Vibe loving it. 13lb but what is a new ball I should get. I guess a main ball and the vibe be my spare. Not sure. My buddy has a black widow 3.0 he said he will gift to me because it’s not for him. But it’s 14lb is that to close in weight to my vibe. any suggestions sry if there dumb

When they remade this a few years ago without HK22 I bought the blue solid. It didn't fit. But in much younger days I had about every messenger they made. This spot in my bag is taken up by the Brunswick Endeavor.

Ben--being that Brunswick has retired the Knockout Bruiser, what similar options might you recommend here in August 2024?

Good for straight throwers ?

“I’ll be painting myself blue like mega mind” I damn near spit out my drink

My next ball is going to be the ion pro. I just got my theorem last week. After the ion i am getting the scorpion strike.

Hi - I’m in a junior bowling league. My question is what your thoughts are on the COLUMBIA 300 MESSENGER POWERCOR PEARL bowling ball? I’m 14 , use a 13 lb bowling ball now, and my league average is 145. Many thanks for your advice - Ronnie

And I'm a lefty and love this ball.

This combined with the vaporize will be a nasty two piece combo

I got a rattle nu for the reason you say this ball will be good for 2 handers. Messenger Powercor looking like a potential step down for when the fronts get toasted

You should still try this layout on an asym, I think you’d be pleasantly surprised

I like this layout.....I use this for all my Symmetric balls. We bowl the same so it's cool seeing you use this layout. Great review as always!

Nice clean benchmark type reaction.

14 lb absolute is a house killer

Wow I just ordered a Hammer Effect to put in a bag alongside my Absolute Power. Looks like I M not going to get much separation between the 2

Leaning into the megamind lovin it also improvement on music and overall delivery since the earlier videos. Please keep reviews coming and thank you for all the efforts you put into these videos.

My dude! This looked so good for you. Should I get it as a rev dominate lefty? My OG infinity is dead after summer league and I need to replace it

This does also have Cohesion, the C in HK22C. the same additive as in the Effect, and the two Brunswick Pro launches!

Great video. Question about your red wrist tape. Do you use it for ball support (no thumber), wrist support, or a combination? I’m a hybrid bowler where I use my thumb as the primary but due to shoulder injuries and surgeries I’ve bowled two handed mixed in the past 5 years or so and now ultimately adopting one hand no thumb the last few weeks.

Oh my............Getting closer to "Blue Ben" I see!!!

Glad you like this one! It’s sick!! This has the cohesion additive along with the HK22 like the effect but in a solid version, very good direction the brands are heading forward with!

I want to see this vs the mesmerize

Thinking of adding this to my harsh reality...tnt...zen pearl..hustle m/m and blue hammer...thoughts?

Wanna add this & Attention Star to my 3 ball bag, am I crazy?

Nice video Ben.

As a 2h myself, I see what you were going with putting that layout on it, but for clean cover balls (especially syms) don't like those in-between pin-cog layout numbers. Cause in 2ls (for those of yall who don't know) Pin down is anything 3 or less, pin up is anything 4 or more when it comes to pin-cog distance. 3.5 is that middle ground between the two, and when you put that pin-cog distance on a clean cover bowling ball, it will give you that over under reaction. Too quick from straighter and too clean from inside. I don't really care for pin down clean balls cause they don't match with my high rev/high speed game, so going 4 or 4.5 pin-cog would help the ball slow down a bit more in the midlane so you could get a bit more stable reaction from inside However, you did hit the nail on the head with adding surface would blend it a bit more. Which is why I don't use much shine on anything, even the cleaner stuff, Its always a 3k spinner or a worn out 1500 by hand. You are also bowling on a fresh house shot.......

Ben, so glad to hear you talk about hitting a ball with surface. I'm finding more and more that anything out of box is always too clean for me and I usually end up hitting it with surface. The Crimson Jackal for example. Lots of corner pins with it until I took the cover off and hit it with 2000. Now it's a beast.

Would a Tundra Blue be a great replacement for a Fate?? 👀

Do you plan to cover the Max Thrills? I have the solid and on the dry wood lanes I’m bowling on, I’m not always getting enough length so I’m debating picking pearl version or the Supra GT. Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks for this video review. I have the Supra Rally, would it make sense to get the Supra GT?

You’re so awesome lol just subscribed love the ball reviews!!

Mr silver certified

Sweet video! Would you recommend the violent collision or hammer effect for mostly bowling on house shots

Is it suitable for low rev player and stroker player?

DNA coil was terrible out of box. I always tend to take the bigger pearls and sand them down to 2000 and then back up to 4000. Polish for me on asyms always give me over under

I wonder if Roto meant for this to be called the Strike Cell, but just gave up and let people call it the X Cell 😂

I think the “best blue balls” title is going to raise some eyebrows with the dudes in your audience 😂

Maybe I’m just not very keen on the issue but I’ve had no problems with reactagloss and the attention star I have. It is really consistent, only issue seems to be me.

Reacta gloss is so bad imo..out of the box it’s just fine then you get some games on it and it’s so over/under

Reacta Gloss has an over/under reaction for me too. I knock it off as well. Harsh Reality Pearl looked more blended at 4K nice video!

Come onnnn my guuuyyyy, if you’re gonna talk about surface needing adjusted in other brands videos but only change surface in the storm videos, nooo fair. 😢

What finish do you think it's best at?

A little late to the video, but will this be a good Outlook replacement? I loved that ball and also had a EBI poured messenger at thought Reflex was a clean but mild cover. Thanks for your help Ben!

Hi there appreciate the vid, I'm a 1H no thumb bowler and right now I use a BW ghost pearl. The attention star and the violent collision seem nice but which would pair better with my current ball?

The Unpredictability and Over-under reaction is due to the Semtex material, the Scorpion Low Flare having this kind of character. Thanks for honest review.
