Overview

Medium oil league lanes, especially in the hands of two-handed bowlers, are where the Heckler Hybrid plays. Its hybrid cover and shiny finish float through the fronts, while the Unholy core gives controlled asymmetry and strong continuation.

More length than the original saves energy for the backend when the first version checks up early. The core suits high-rev two-handed styles. On heavy oil it will skid too long.

Who it's for

Two-handers and high-rev bowlers on medium patterns will see the length and snap. Bowlers on heavy oil need a sanded ball instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • More length than the original
  • Asymmetric core for carry
  • Tuned for two-handers
  • Two-year limited warranty
Cons
  • Not for heavy oil
  • Core numbers not listed
  • Drilling not described

Performance notes

A shiny hybrid surface lets the ball float through the front, then bite at the end of the pattern. The asymmetric core adds flare for continuation. Surface dulls with use, so periodic polishing restores length.
