Overview
A no-thumb bowler gets a ball whose asymmetric core was designed around no-thumb layouts rather than adapted to them. A sanded hybrid-additive cover grabs in oil for strong traction.
Two-handed bowlers get motion tuned to their release, with traction for oily lanes. Traditional thumb-in bowlers are not the audience for this core design.
Who it's for
No-thumb players on medium to oily lanes suit this ball. One-handed bowlers should look at conventional core designs.
Pros and cons
- Core designed for no-thumb layouts
- Sanded cover grips in oil
- Strong, aggressive motion
- Two-year limited warranty
- Narrow audience of no-thumb bowlers
- Core figures not listed
- Strong cover reads early on dry lanes
Performance notes
The asymmetric core is shaped for the high rev, no-thumb release, which sets how the ball flares and turns. The sanded cover with Cohesion additives decides how early it grips in oil.
