Hi Everyone,

Currently bowling in Tokyo and I like the backend reaction I get from the Alpha Max.
But THS patterns in Japan breakdown REAL fast, and I have to put this ball away quickly because it burns up too fast.
Hence the question: May I have some recommendations on something with a backend similar to Alpha-max but with more skid/length so that I can use it longer?

I echo the Vesa Max. It will give you more length and still have that predictable move down lane.

VERSAMAX!

This may be a dumb question, but is the Versa-Max sold in Japan?  Could it go by a different name? 

It could be like someone suggesting a Kick Zone to someone in the US.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I was also seriously considering the Versa Max but was a little cautious on whether the ball would be as strong as the Alpha on the backend.

Lately, there has been a shipment of 2nd quality(bubbles, scratches) Versas into Japan sold very cheaply, hence I took the plunge and ordered myself one. 

Versa is sold here but 1st quality NIB costs around USD200 over here, too expensive...

I actually got my alpha from the US and brought it back to Japan during the rebate period. Price in Japan was ridiculous.
