SURFACE is the number one way to change the ball motion you are getting out of a bowling ball! More than the core even because the core doesn't physically touch the lane like the cover does. So before you sell or plug your bowling balls try changing the surface first!

I prefer most polished pearls and hybrids at 4K wet sanded. Got a 221 last week with 4K on my Gauntlet Fury.
Nice! Both of these are finished at 2000/3000
I’m hoping for a demo day soon, I wanna try the Absolute before I buy! My Dark Code is still killin it 🙌🏾
I hope you get the chance to!
I have 550+ rev rate one handed and two handed and I don’t use polish on anything. I also bowl on higher volumes most of the time, however, I still like to hit my “would be polished bowling balls” with a 4000 pad
I feel mostly the same way! Minus the rev rate LOL
I am thinking of getting both.
I hope you love them!
I just love the style of Chris. Any ball he is using it looks amazing everytime!❤❤
Thank you! It’s always a work in progress
@Chris Stones Of course it is!😁
Really does though!
That’s funny because I’m the opposite. He’s an excellent bowler, there’s no denying that, and I enjoy his commentary/information/opinions. I’ve just never liked the throw it half-way down the lane style (yes, I’m exaggerating). I also don’t blame him though. I’m short, so laying the ball down is likely a bit easier for me than it is for someone his size. Ha ha!
@Nevin Kinzel I don’t throw if half way down the lane, it’s 1/3 at most lol. Thanks though. I wish I got it down earlier but my knee doesn’t like to do that
I think the Absolute is gonna be a total miss. Even with surface I don’t think the cover is strong enough for the core. I haven’t seen a review yet that makes it look better than any other ball on the market – or even to replace something from a few years ago – for a particular use case. The Revenant is interesting but I think the Fate does what it does, but better.
Thats a def interesting take on them!
Tell that to Chris Barnes; he won a Regional with it last weekend.
The absolute seems to be quite speed sensitive. Is that just my perception or do you think it’s a thing?
Def a rev dominant ball it seems like. Even Jr pro shop has a decently high rev rate and makes that ball look so good bc it does have a lot of good backend
With the polish I would def agree with that!
cant wait to get the revenant tomorrow! i will throw the revenant out of box but probably put it to 1500 polish from pro shop and just let it lane shine
I hope you end up loving it!
@Luis Napoles new high score of 280 today with night road. it is the NOAH ball after all. lol. revenant will haunt those who doubt!!! 🙂
So how’s the Revenant with surface vs IQ tour??
!Q Will still be way weaker and smooooooother
I can’t wait to hopefully get a revenant tomorrow. I’m excited to roll a spectre reincarnation.
Fingers crossed!
Update: I think the ball is a solid piece. It does what it’s supposed to do if your execution is good on transitioned shots.
I’ve thrown two balls with reacta gloss, I didn’t mind the Electrify go, but the Fate was iffy. I sanded the Fate and shinned it up with Xtra shine from Storm and I’m loving even more now
I loved the fate job and never touched it
I personally did a surface change on 8 of my balls. Based on how I perform, I’ll probably annoy a few people for putting a 500-grit surface on my urethane balls.
Nice!
I feel like Storm either knocks it out of the park or it’s a complete dud.
Thats an interesting take. I def feel there are some that are in the middle
Maybe you can answer this. What about the absolute vs the altered reality with both being asym cores
Altered will be way stronger because of the much stronger cover
I got my Absolute. Tried Luke R’s suggestion and changed the surface to 1000 and put storm step 2 on. First ball went right into the gutter. Will be knocking off the polish. I’m a higher speed lefty with a decent amount of revs. Shot 754 last week with the Reality Check and shot 767 this week with the Phaze 5. Hope I can find a home for the Absolute.
Fingers crossed for ya!
Thank you for your videos. Really great reference for me. Quick question, Luis. I’m a league bowler in Indonesia, with a 3 ball arsenal, currently using the STorm Alpha as my strongest arsenal, MVP Roto grip and Hyroad. I am thinking to renew these arsenals, probabbly starting with the alpha and hyroad (two of the oldest ball I have). To replace the alpha, would you recommend the absolute, supernova o the exotic gem? And to replace the hyroad, would you recommend the revenant? To be honest, I’m inclined to get another hyroad or night road, simply because the I have always find the hyroad to be really versatile and very reliable. Thank you for your opinion.
actually the 900 Global Reality is really close
I’d like to see a similar review on a lane that isn’t fresh. Neither of these are a ball for the fresh, though there is some argument around it being a house shot versus a burned-up sport or challenge pattern. Either way, always enjoy the vids and the insight!
With surface I would argue that these can be used on the fresh! But with polish it def not ideal!
Bowled with the absolute with surface and like it much better than when I used it out of the box.
Same here!
I have a Idol cosmos and when transition the ball really hooks early. I’m looking for something that will get down the lane a little better was thinking revenant or iq ruby currently using venom shock as my benchmark which would you recommend?
I’m a huge fan of both but for what you’re talking about I like the Revenant more
@Luis Napoles thanks so much for the response so appreciated
I have a phase 5, and I used reactor scuff and then came on top of that with a 4000 grit pad. I really like how it looks now. Before it was a little too uncontrollable or sharp on the backend.
Smart!
