I believe but not totally positive, ballreviews canada does such thing. Maybe others on here can confirm or give the proper information to one

That guy was good. Too bad he hasn't made a video in 3 years.

I know there's others, just can't come up with a name or site to visit. Someone will chime in with a link

I'll be honest, I watch an embarrassing amount of videos that have bowling balls in them, and I can't say I've ever seen one like you're describing. Misses, 3 patterns, pluses and minuses. Britton did 2 videos once upon a time, house shot and sport shot, but he stopped. Tamerbowling is the closest I've seen to a subjective video, and there's only one condition. There's no money to be made in it, so why bother?

Why can nobody just be glad we do have a few guys that aren't so biased.It can't be an easy task getting the centers to put out one shot for a video other than house shots.Where I am at you mention putting out a sport pattern of any kind the lazy ass mechanics get pissed.They want to do as little as possible.I am sure its not a fun thing.Thanks Luke and Tamer.Two of the best reviewers we have.

Any kind of advertisement for anything shows the ideal intent or desired result provided you're using the product properly.  I had more written, but it came off as combative, and that's not what I'm about.  Videos are already pretty subjective, and the more specifics or particulars you have, the more confusing or subjective it can get.  I have a lot of reasons why I do what I do, and don't do what I don't do.  I'd ask that you view several of my reviews and read my interactions in the comments, and hope that you get my angle a little better.  Talking something up just to sell the "latest and greatest" whether it's what you want or need isn't good for me or the company.  I'm a bowler first, a pro shop mindset second, and a company rep third.  I try to make videos that I as a consumer would want to see, and I'm with you on disliking the typical staffer hype.  Just trying to say I'm not that guy man. 

For me personally (which I am probably the minority) I like to see a ball being rolled on 3 different sport patterns. A long,short and medium length pattern. Show people where a ball can shine, and where it's not meant for .You will also need a few different styles of release  to help accomplish this. Throwing a ball on a house shot, editing out all the non-strike shots only leads to one thing.
That's a biased opinion from you to help sell a ball to the masses. Throw in all the typical catch words and phases and you have "Another junk review from just another staffer to sell sh*t"

The last thing I want to see is a ball NOT designed for a particular pattern rolled on that pattern.  Hummm, I wonder what would happen if I threw the DCT on a 32 foot sport pattern?  Let's waste a bunch of time, effort and energy showing what a ball is NOT designed to do.  Knucklehead...
Just show me pure shots that hit the intended target at the arrows and downlane.  If it strikes, so be it.  I really don't care.  I want to see the layout and how the ball behaves through the different phases.  All of which Luke does.

Tell me this is a typical staffer hype video . . I can tell you I didn't like anything about the way the Timeless was presented or marketed or Diandra saying everyone and dogs and cats and chickens needed to drill one.  It didn't get me in hot water like I kind of thought it would, but I'm sure this isn't exactly the type of thing they want to see for this massive of a release.

Yeap, too much of a conflict of interest for me to comment, possibly even to upload them to my channel, but at least there's ball reaction to watch . .

I noticed that you snuck the Storm "bolt" logo into the bottom right hand corner.  ;)

If you can't judge a ball by what you see, and by that I mean how the ball reads the friction and goes thru the pins, then maybe you need to learn how to subjectively watch ball reviews without the marketing pitch. Find a bowler that has a similar game and judge.

I'll say I'm not impressed by the last 2 Inceptions. The Redux looks like a turd of a ball reaction, and while the DCT looks good, it doesn't make me want to run out and get 1. The Covert doesn't shock me, but I've been throwing that same weight block coming up on 10 years, so the motion doesn't SHOCK me.

HB is shocking to me. I will have one in the bag, along with a Covert. Not buying a break cored ball is just a bad idea.

Luke is the best staff reviewer this side of Riggs. He may not sell EVERY ball, but I know that if I wanted the straight shit on a Storm ball, he's not going to lie. THAT'S a valuable staffer.

That guy was good. Too bad he hasn't made a video in 3 years.

He has pretty much given up bowling, unfortunately. He lives where I do. He was one of the city's best and made Team Canada at times. A lot of good bowlers from here. Some went on tour - probably most recognizable (at least recent) was Dan MacLelland. Some who have made Team Canada (or the B team, senior, junior...). And some who just never bothered to take it to a higher level, but very well could have.
