Cold Blood or Mastermind?
« on: January 21, 2014, 11:59:10 AM »
Debating between the Cold Blood or Mastermind. Always liked Hammer products & usually that's all I throw, but I'm getting interested in this Mastermind. Just trying to get some feedback see what some of you think. I'm a lefty, average in the 200's-2teens, don't do much to the ball, but accurate & good spare bowler, have a bad habit of coming out of the side of the ball so I like strong equipment.

I was getting ready to purchase a mastermind as my oiler, but my pro shop strongly recommended a orange/smoke pyramid chosen path instead. Wow it is the strongest ball have I ever thrown and quite possibly the best ball I have owned, and my arsenal consists of balls from 4 different companies, so I'm not biased to certain brands.

Glad that Pyramid Path matches the condition you are playing on. I've seen all the Paths thrown and was not wowed at all. All were extremely angular, with a ball motion I have seen in whole lot of other pieces. Definitely not THS useable in my neck of the woods.

Go with the Mastermind.....hands down! And I'm a RotoGrip guy!

My vote would be the Hyper Cell, but that's based on having thrown the Cell series before.  Honestly, the Mastermind is the better pick over the Cold Blood.  One of my teammates picked one up 2 weeks ago and it is 1 strong ball.  Easily one of the strongest to date.  Considering how the cover can be tamed, you'll have more versatility overall compared to the Cold Blood.
