Title: ball with MONSTER backend?
Post by: Kinalyx on June 03, 2008, 12:42:54 AM
What ball has the most backend on the market right now?  I just joined a summer fun league, & im considering getting something with MONSTER backend, just for fun.  Im not worrying about average this summer, just gonna have fun.

B4 u guys flame & think I want hook in a box because im lame.  Im actually a 200+ average bowler, have a somewhat decent arsenal, & really care about bowling & bettering myself.

I have typically had good luck with big backend balls, & I figured it might be fun to have something with crazy backend just for giggles.

Any & all help is appreciated.

I dont know wich ball that, atm, has the biggest backend. But the Breake Pearls is said to have some nice backend move. Storm also has a coupple of balls with a good backend.

I dunno which ball has the most backend out right now.  Companies seem to be shying away from this to a degree lately.  The Black Widow Bite and Gravity Shift come to mind.  If you can get one, maybe the Paradigm Domination.

Tell us what you already have, and it will make it easier to suggest something to compliment your arsenal.

Since it is only for fun, and you probably don't want to waste a bunch of money,

Wrath Dead Flush.  Pings off the corner.  Just be sure to add a flippy layout to enhance the fun

You want monster back end? Have fun and play around with the two-handed release with your current stuff.

I was bowling a 3 hour deal at the lanes the other night and my thumb wasn't happy. I started trying out the two-handed release just for fun to see if I could pull it off. I threw my BuzzBomb over the gutter cap from the 6th arrow to the 3 board 55 feet down lane. It turned sharp and hit the pocket, heh. Insane revs. My conventional release would never recover from that far out that close to the pins obviously.

It was fun enough to toy with, but I don't see myself converting to that style anytime soon.

I am positively surprised by the back end qualities of MoRich's Awesome Finish - that's just what this ball does, the name is the program.

Mine is drilled to go long and snap hard, and it is the strongest/sharpest back end piece in my current arsenal. It goes surprisingly long for a polished solid, then moves the core to its PSA at the breakpoint violently and finally revs up very quickly due to the low RG. Also has some authority upon impact - a spectacular piece!
Works very well for me on medium shots, but also on longer patterns when the back end is clean. Just wehn things dry up, the low RG core bleeds energy quickly.

The good old Excalibur. Still remember it well. When I first saw it's reaction, all I could say was WOW.

Really a revolution in bowling in its days. The first ball with a real big backend movement. And it was nice looking as well.

I ask myself, if it still would be that impressive by todays standards. I don't think so, but back than.....

If you can find one, Columbia's Reaction Rev had the biggest back end of any ball I've ever seen.  My Rev did have a 5" pin though...I had it drilled pin up with a typical stacked leverage layout.  If there were any dry boards at the backend, the Rev literally jumped to the pocket.  Didn't handle carry down particularly well, but I've seen worse.  I got mine from GLC Bowling in Warren, Michigan.  GLC has pretty fair prices and very reasonable shipping.  I checked their e-bay store but didn't see one currently listed, though they do have the Reaction Ricochet and Reaction Rip available in 16 lbs.

Yeah,,the Reaction Rip, even though anolder ball, is also a very flippy thing. SuperFlex pearl, paired with a high RG AND high diff. core creates some serious late movement - got one with length & flip drilling in store for hot summer times, and it moves in a true hockey stick shape. Sharp ball for a symmetrical core ball, and still competitive.

Actually, Morich didnt intend for the name Awesome Finish to describe the way the ball would hook. When I went to Bowl Expo in Orlando a few months ago, Morich had a guy there explaining that they gave the ball the name "Finish" because it was the last of the Vangaurd core.

I was pretty surprised by this myself...

The Complete NV from what I've seen is pretty wild on the backend.
