this ball gives me a lot of length with just the right amount of backend. I like to use this ball later in the block as the lanes start to hook more because of its clean and smooth shape. I am impressed with this ball overall and it has a nice spot in my bag. I have not changed the surface much but I clean it regularly after bowling to maintain the cover. This would be a great ball for you if you like something smooth and continuous.

This ball compliments the Viral Pearl and Solid very well. This Hybrid is earlier rolling than the pearl but a little more overall hook than the pearl as well. I have found that this ball gets out of the bag most often on the typical house shot in the second and third games. I love the heavy roll through the pins on every shot. This ball is my favorite "go-to" during the summer league season so far.

WOW. Potential. This ball has the potential to be anything you could possibly want it to be. I have drilled two Alias balls. One ball has a symmetric layout and the other has the strongest asymmetrical layout. The symmetric layout gives me a more smooth shape but a lot of hook. I am able to keep my angles in front of me and play straighter with this layout. The asymmetrical layout gives me more hook than I truly need. If you are looking for a lot of hook for a lot of volume, this would be the ball and layout for you. The symmetric layout has been my favorite ball so far this season. The possibilities are endless with this new core technology. Symmetric layout for smoother shape and asymmetric layout for more hook. You call it.

The Cyborg is a ball that i have been missing in my bag. I think this ball is a little more midlane roll than the Legion Solid but less than the Paradox. This ball is cleaner than the Paradox through the front and a little more angular downlane. This ball is great for me on the typical house shot where I can move left and really open up the lane. You won't be disappointed with this purchase. This much ball at this price point is a steal!!!

This ball mimics the motion of the Cyborg. It is a little cleaner through the front part of the lane but still has the smooth controllable motion that I had been missing in my bag. This ball also compliments the original Cyborg really well. Usually in league I can start with my Cyborg and switch to this ball without dramatically changing my angles. At this price point you will be incredibly happy with this ball. Mine is drilled 65 x 4.5 x 35 and still gives me a rolly shape. Can't go wrong here, especially if you liked the Cyborg.

This ball is fantastic. It is SO clean through the fronts and strong on the backends. I was shocked at how much energy it saves up and how hard it hits the pins.

This ball is not my favorite color combination but it rolls so well that I didn't even notice. This ball was longer than i had anticipated but turned the corner downlane. This ball lane shines quickly so maintaining the surface is important if you want the box finish to last. This was my favorite ball of Summer 2016.

PHENOMENAL!!!! This ball is the must have of the year so far. Obviously this core is a proven great but this cover matches perfectly. My standard layout is 65 x 4.5 x 35 and mine goes long and sideways. The surface right out of the box was a little too shiny for me so I used a light 4000 pad to take a little shine off to help me control the pop downlane. I think this ball is most comparable to the MX05. Compared to the MX05, this Kinetic Emerald is longer and more angular. I find this ball to be my "go-to" ball right now because I can open up my angles and still have the controllable pop on the back end that the MX05 didn't have. I've watched various bowling styles use this ball at seminars and in videos and it seems to roll well for everyone. This one is special. Can't ever go wrong with a shuttle core and the Kinetic name!!

This was my favorite ball of the summer. This ball gave me a shape that I didn't already have with any other ball. This ball was more of the hockey stick shape for me. It goes long and makes a huge left turn for me. I was able to use this ball all four games of my summer league. Another ball that Track fans won't be disappointed with.

This ball is the most hook in my bag right now. It is drilled 55 x 4 3/4 x 45, which is a pretty standard layout for me. This ball makes a nice move on the backend and still hits pretty hard. I have used this ball on a few different high volume patterns and it gives me incredible length as well as the added pop down lane. When i use this ball on a typical house pattern i see similar results. It recovers nicely if I spray it to the right and still picks up enough to carry a 10 pin if i keep in a little too tight. This ball is special. All black bowling balls roll great!

this ball reminds me of the Legion Solid in a PEARL form. The Logix gives me a little more length than the Legion Solid but a similar shape and pop down lane. You may like this ball if you were a fan of the Legion Solid and are looking for a step down when your Legion Solid starts to roll too soon. This has been my “go-to” ball since it’s release. I really like this ball on the typical house shot because it is so versatile.

Favorite ball in the bag right now. This ball reads the lane on any oil pattern and never quits down lane. This ball is great on longer patterns because of its heavy rolling tendency and great on medium patterns when you can open the lane up a bit. This is a great ball all around.

This ball is strong without being too much. Usually with strong balls I get a hook-stop motion but not with this ball. The Mako is cleaner through the fronts than most HP balls for me. This allows the ball to save up more energy and really make a strong motion downlane. I've used this ball on my typical house shot, long sport shots and medium volume sport shots. Overall a great piece that you will want in your bag.

if you liked the original blue Paradox, you will love this one. This ball gives me a little more length and more continuation thru the pins. For me, the blue paradox rolled a little too soon and quit on me downlane due to my softer ball speed. The Black Paradox allows me to open up my angles in the front part of the lane while saving up energy to drive thru the pins. I liked the original Paradox and I love this one. You may like this ball if you are more speed dominant or if you are looking for a ball that gives you more overall hook.

The Trilogy is my favorite of the Paradox series. I say this because the others rolled too early for me on most conditions. THis ball is super clean in the fronts and might as well turn its turn signal on because it goes sideways downlane. I've seen this ball be great for high rev players and players with softer ball speed that like to play with the friction a little more.

This ball was a lot of mid lane roll for me but lazy on the back ends. Polished it up and got a little more continuation on the back ends!!

this ball is AMAZING!!! The original Heat was my favorite ball to use late in blocks or when the lanes were hooking quite a bit. The Heat Xtreme was great for me as it picked up earlier than the Heat but still provided me that downlane motion to cut thru the carry down oil. With the Ultra Heat I see a combination of both balls but more over all hook. The Ultra heat is more hook than the original Heat and about the same hook as the Heat Xtreme. The Ultra Heat picks up sooner than the original Heat but not as quick as the Heat Xtreme. This ball fits nicely between the two with a little more hook potential than the original Heat.
