The US Act Astro is clean through the heads, saving more reaction for the back-ends. This provides improved hitting power and back-end recovery while reducing sensitivity to breakdown in front-end lane conditions and lane surfaces that are less than ideal.
The Ultra-Low RG core used in the US Act Astro provides strong mid-lane recovery and improved traction in the oil with a smoother, more effective reaction off the dry. This combination reduces over/under reaction by making the wet play less wet and dry, less dry, effectively allowing the bowler to create more area.
The Astro is powerful and continuous from the breakpoint through the pins. Improved traction in the oil allows the Astro to bit through the carry down and aggressively change direction without breaking loose from the lane. The strong rolling characteristics of the Ultra-Low RG core make this move more readable allowing you to open up the lane.
