Three of my favorites on the burn or short patterns:
Lane Masters Hornet
MoRich MOjave
Radical Rack Attack Solid (Grape)
The Hornet is similar to the Lane Masters Buzz in that it features two-piece construction and a medium RG, low differential RG core. Where it differs from the Buzz is in the hardness of the pearl reactive mixture, adding roughly five hardness points on the durometer scale. Where the Buzz checks in at 73 to 74 hardness, the Hornet checks in around 78 to 79. The Hornet flat out shines on second shift shots and low volume conditions, short patterns, lighter Christmas tree patterns, etc. When the mid-lane starts drying out, you can move deeper with your benchmark ball and, sometimes, lose carry at the deeper angle, or you can switch to the Hornet and maintain your angle to the pocket.
The MOjave features a mildly asymmetric core surrounded by Brunswick’s PowrKoil 17 coverstock, which has been around since the mid-1990’s. The MOjave utilizes a high radius of gyration version of the EZ Rev core featuring low differential and intermediate differential RGs. This results in a ball with low flare characteristics that helps retain energy effectively.
The Rack Attack Grape Solid features a medium/high RG light bulb core with a low (0.024) differential and a well-matched solid reactive coverstock. Like the Hornet and the MOjave, I am able to keep my angles closed with the Rack Attack. It works well for me when the back ends are flying and on the burn or double burn: My ultimate control ball.
