Overview

A reactive hybrid coverstock wraps a Gas Mask core in this multi-layer ball, a combination that sets how the ball grips the lane and flexes through its path. It comes as a single red and black ball.

The reason to look is the reactive hybrid cover on a named core for bowlers who want more hook potential. The limitation is the missing drilling status, surface finish and hook potential figures.

Who it's for

Bowlers who want a reactive cover to work on hooking the ball can start here. Players who need drilling, surface data or a different weight should confirm with the seller.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Reactive hybrid coverstock
  • Named Gas Mask core
  • Two year warranty
  • Red and black look
Cons
  • Drilling status not listed
  • Surface finish not listed
  • Hook potential not listed

Performance notes

A reactive coverstock grips lane oil and helps the ball hook once it reaches the drier part of the lane, and the core shape governs how the ball rolls. The listing gives no coverstock finish or core numbers, so the exact reaction is not stated. Drilling layout also changes how the ball behaves.
