This ball is awesome.  The Vandal uses an asymmetrical core with a composite pearl cover finished with a 500 Saair MicroPad and Royal Compound. 

This ball was drilled 55 x 3 3/4 x 30 with no weight hole. My goal was to produce a sharper reaction with a more angular break point to be used on you typical house patterns.

The reaction I got from this ball was clean thru the fronts, with an aggressive but controllable transition off the spot down lane.  THIS BALL HITS LIKE A TRUCK!!!  If I wanted to play straighter, all I had to do is change the cover, which was really easy and the reaction I got was amazing.  This ball is a definite winner and would be another great addition to an already strong arsenal.

by far the best ball I have ever drilled.. Very versatile! have thrown this on 43 foot sport kegel tokyo - 40 foot flat kegel red square and 38 foot ths.

this ball plain hooks for me. it is clean through the fronts and picks up nicely in the midlane with this layout. the back end reaction is out of this world. It recovers from virtually anywhere and is very predictable. one of the balls strongpoints is there is very little transition with this ball. I find myself not having to move more than 1-2 boards on any condition. I haven't found nay pattern it hasn't rolled good on yet!
go visit your local proshop and pick one up ...you won't be disappointed

The Vandal has the Vandal asymmetric core wrapped with the new composite coverstock. It gives you more overall hook without dying in the heads. That ball reads the mids like an asym ball and has backend like a symmetric ball. It’s pretty amazing to see it how it rolls.

Yes, I know. That ball came out worldwide last summer. It is maybe late for a review but I drilled that beast about a month and a half ago. Seriously, I don’t know what I was missing until I threw it. The layout: 50x5x30. The results…….WOWWW!! That ball covers same amount of boards as my Ultimate Nirvana but with a lot more backend. That ball just seemed to bite to the lanes and turn the corner. Just to gives you an idea, I bowl a tournament 3 weeks ago. The pattern was so beaten up after 2 and an half game, I took my Vandal out (bowling with my Danger Zone before) and move left 8 and 5 (now playin’ 5th arrow). For a game and a half remaining, the more left I was going, the more that ball was coming back. It amaze me that a ball that strong, was coming back even in that part of the lane. I can assure you one thing, that ball will be not coming out of my arsenal soon.

I think everyone needs a Vandal in their arsenal. PERIOD! Tonight We Bowl!
