What replaces the Hyde?
« on: September 26, 2006, 08:57:17 AM »
I've got a Hyde that is beat up and I would like to replace it with one of the newer releases in the Columbia line.  What new ball would best replace the Hyde?

Thanks for any help.

Nothing.

Go find a Blue Surge on Ebay. I guarantee it'll be as good as the Hyde!

Try the Wrath.  Excellent ball choice.

Nothing in the current line is exactly the same, but the Wrath XP will be close but still a little stronger than the Hyde. Good luck.

Wrath is a flippy pearl resin. Hyde and Surge are dull solid resins.

Quite a few online stores still have them up. Bowlingballmall.com for one.
Why not replace it with a new one?

You could take a Jinx and take the cover to 1000 or 800 and it would be close to the Hyde. The cores are practically identical and smoothing out the cover would lend itself to a smoother rolling reaction similar to the Hyde.
