Ok. I just have one question...

If you have an
quote:

asymmetric / symmetric hybrid core



Isn't that by definition asymmetric???
Just the engineer in me asking the question.

Oddly on the Circle website, the text of the description for the Idol says,
"strong particle reactive cover stock for medium to oily lane conditions."

Yet the chart indicates as Borincano cut and pasted, "reactive"

Mumzie,

Circle's text says "Utilizing the hybrid core, idol offers an ideal mix of a smooth rolling symmetric core with the backend of an asymmetric for devastating results!", while th epicture seems to show an asymmetric core - the center chunk appears offset.

What Zielke is trying to provide us with a bowling ball with both types of cores in just one bowling ball. I am planning to get the Idol and see what is all about.

I will write my ever first ball review when I get it drilled and tested. His idea looks interesting.
