Overview
Short patterns and flat tournament conditions are where this urethane ball fits, reading early and moving smoothly. It pairs the familiar LED core with a harder pearl urethane blend that meets PBA rules.
Rule compliance with urethane motion lets competitive bowlers carry it to sanctioned events. Urethane gives up backend snap and struggles in heavy oil.
Who it's for
Tournament players and league bowlers facing short patterns suit this ball. Casual bowlers or heavy oil players should choose a reactive ball.
Pros and cons
- Meets PBA urethane hardness rules
- Early, smooth hook
- Two year warranty
- Weak on heavy oil
- Less backend snap than reactive

Performance notes
Urethane grips the lane early and slows down gradually, which gives an arc instead of a sharp turn. A sanded finish adds early traction. Harder urethane helps meet hardness rules.
