Description: The Counter Strike proves an easy motion through the heads and a strong, controlled back end reaction. Designed to be a particle pearl compliment to the Sure Strike with more overall hook.

I recently got my Counter Strike used from "The Bowlers Edge 2" that was in mint condition. I highly recomend purchasing from this seller!!!


  The Counter Strike came drilled with the pin a inch or so above my two fingers, and the CG was swung out to the right a couple inches. It doesnt have a weight hole, and has a surface of 1000 Abralon. This ball has incredible length with a violent flip on the backend. I have seen many Sure Strikes that just didnt work well due to the weak coverstock I think, where as this ball reads the lane much better. What I am trying to say is just because you dont like the Sure Strike dont mean you are not going to like this piece... I got a Terminator Rebellion at the same time as this ball and this one is anywhere form 5-7 boards stronger at the breakpoint. This could be due to layout/surface, but this ball is much stronger than expected.


   I would rate this ball a solid 9, because on some sport patterns this ball will have to much angle at the breakpoint to judge hook and carry. This ball also displays great carry and especially if you can hit light in the pocket... I think when a bowler runs into carrydown it will work good due to that great backend reaction it has. Lane Masters have come along ways and this ball is another great piece to one's arsenal. John Davis

Thanks to Galen and the great staff at Lane Masters for sending me a Counter Strike to try.  Ball has a very smooth transition down the lane with a very controlled backend.  Got lucky, on the night I threw it the backends were very strong but there was enough oil in the front to allow it to push down the lane.  Almost a wet dry condition.  Started with the Sure Strike but backends to strong for it, switched to the Counter and had a wonderful reaction all night.  The rg really helps get it down the lane and the light load of particle allows it to have a strong controlled finish.  Another solid ball from Lane Masters with a great price!
