Hello Group
For those that have thrown the Brunswick 3.5 and the new Curve how would they compare? I have the 3.5 and from what I have been reading here I'm very interested in the Curve or the Massacre Red Death. Thanks, Jake

I think pearls are solids with mica particles added to the mix. A hybrid might be nothing more than a solid with a light load. Not enough to call it a pearl.

No, by your definition, almost every ball that has come out would be a hybrid. Actually, the definition of the word hybrid would make every ball that has been made, a hybrid. However, in the classical sense of the word in regards to bowling balls and the terminology that has been used to describe their basic makeup, I believe it would be incorrect to call this ball a hybrid.

It's not my definition, it's the dictionary's.
You can argue all you want, I already explained it.
By definition it is technically a hybrid.
By common bowling terms, it's not what we consider a Hybrid.

The difference is that when we use a certain term in bowling or any sport, activity, hobby or business, we expectthat object to conform,not just to the technical specifications, but to our own ideas and to the common and accepted usage of the terms.

In bowling hybrid has come to mean a combination of solid and pearlized coverstocks, for the 99% case. This is because a solid/pearl combo acts differently from a solid and a pearl. A solid/solid combo (Red Death) does not act differently from a solid and a pearl/pearl combo (Gemstone) does nto act differently from a pearl.

Lane#1 did the same thing years ago when they mixed Activator with PK 18. They implied this in the name of the coverstock , but they never called it a hybrid. That's because hybrids, back then, did not have the positive implications that the Storm Hy-Road has given the label, "hybrid", in today's bowling environment.
