They weren’t kidding about the revving action with this ball.
This new core really saves some energy before it hits the pins. With the strong cover and this new core, this ball has been a go-to for some of the longer patterns I have been bowling on recently. Great mid-lane motion, with a very good amount of backend reaction for a solid/strong ball.
I was very surprised to see how well this ball went through the pins. I can’t say enough about the energy it saves. It will also be a good ball to bring out to begin a night at league.

After finally drilling the Hammer Black Urethane, I absolutely could not wait to get my hands on this…and it didn’t disappoint.
The Black Urethane was great to start out blocks on shorter/tough patterns, but I would run into pairs that it was reading just a little too much in the front part of the lane. This Purple Pearl Urethane was the perfect solution to that.
I was blown away after throwing my first few shots with it. It still hooks pretty early like a urethane should, but it didn’t try to burn up in the first 15-20 feet. The pearl cover gave it the extra pop that I needed. Overall, I would say that it is just a small move inside compared to the Black Hammer because it does have a small motion down the lane.

A great compliment to the original Cyborg!
Everyone loved the predictable, yet strong core/cover combo in the Cyborg. The Cyborg Pearl is a great ball down from the Cyborg when the lanes start to break down. The pearl cover allows it to have more length and save a lot of energy for some great down lane motion.
Not only is this a great go-to ball for when the lanes get a littler drier, but the Cyborg Pearl is also a great choice for house patterns. The cleaner cover lets the bowlers see that more angular motion that is the key to striking on most house shots.

I simply can’t say enough about this ball. I have never seen a ball this strong/versatile for the price point.
Very strong mid-lane roll, but it doesn’t quit. Personally, I have been able to use this ball on every type of pattern. It rolls extremely well in oil, and (even with the strength of the ball) it is a striking machine when they are dry. It has been the first ball out of my bag everywhere I go.
Low rev players will love the mid lane roll with this ball, so it will pick up quicker. High rev players will love this ball because it will give them the same strong motion in friction or oil.

The Paradox Trilogy is a great step down from (personally, my favorite high performance ball of all-time) the Paradox.
The hybrid cover on the Paradox Trilogy gives it just a touch more length compared to the original Paradox. It did pick up a little later than the Paradox, but it was definitely earlier than the Paradox Pearl. I have seen many people using this ball on different house patterns, and it amazes me with how long people can continue to use this ball without having to switch to something else.
You can’t beat the performance with this ball, but the shelf appeal is also amazing. The blue/silver/black colors really do stand out with this ball.
