Title: Who liked the Matrix Series?
Post by: DP3 on August 09, 2004, 04:57:05 AM
I've thrown Dynasty, Trimax III, and Trimax I.  I've seen a few people CRUSH racks with the conquest, but this seemed to be the most overlooked one.  It sure did hook a ton, much more than Ebonite advertised.  I loved the look and lope of the Maxtrix line.  Did anyone else like these balls?  I'm interested to see what you thought of the other releases and what their strong/weak points were.  A ton of the Blems are going on ebay and if you call up bowlingball.com they have more of the earlier ones in the warehouse.

teammate of mine(former LPBT,WPBA member) crushes racks with a couple of dominators(average ball speed and trying to find NIB ones)

she had both a dynasty and a conquest also, one cracked on her and the other got left at a tournament on accident.  This was before i started bowling with her.

another teammate uses one as a spare ball(highly polished dynasty)

I was given a trimax III with probably less than 5 games on it....what are the charactoristics of this ball....skid flip i think is what i heard

Mine was more of a pearl with strong midlane roll and control on the backend.  Awesome from many different angles.  It didn't finish that hard so I left my fair share of dimes, but I loved rolling it when I was throwing all ebonite from 2002-2003

Matrix line was great for me. Loved the TrimaxIII, Dynasty and the Conquest. Easy thru the heads with skid/snap backend for me. Never had any use for the Dominator, not enough oil, but a woman in my league lit the place up with hers.

Still use the Trimax III on med length med oil sport patterns. I was able to light up some huge numbers  with the Dominator if the condition was right. I actually loved it on shorter more oil volume patterns. (P.S.- Still have a NIB one if anyone wants it- house i had used it at changed patterns.) Tried a conquest and like it but overlapped with another ball in my bag so decided not to buy it. Would have like to try the Trimax I or II! Dynasty was a great ball for med shots especially guys with higher axis rotation and tilt. I have fallen prey to loving the V2 line now and maybe even trying one of the Instincts (Pearl) if i do not like the new V2 sweet.

Hmm funny how the same ball is works for some and is a dud for others..

The Matrix Dynasty was pretty strong for me..

The Matrix TPS III touted to be for heavy oil didn't really do well.. but sold it to a friend who shoot a 740+ after a week, and several 250 games thereafter, he had less hand and was using it for medium oil.

The Matrix TPS I seems to work well also.  I've seent this being used by a friend, he has been scoring consisitently.
