After being Mighty and recently a Master, we are now SUPREME! The Guru Supreme is the new Sheriff in town! That ball is a stronger version of the Master with a lot more backend! The Supreme is not far from the Mighty, when we talk about backend. The choice between the Supreme and the Master depends how you throw the ball. The Master is better suit for bowlers who are low-to-medium track. On the other side, the bowlers who are medium-to-high tracker will prefer the Supreme. For me, the latter is my case.

I change my vision for the Supreme, I wanna try something new. I saw on a video, a Supreme with a MOtion Hole. One of our teammate on staff and a friend of mine try that before me and I was really impressed by the reaction. So, I drilled mine 75x4.25x35 with the possibility of a MOtion Hole. I didn’t do it now because it is way too strong for the condition I play on here. Maybe later I’ll do it but for now I don’t need it. It is now the strongest ball in my bag and I look forward to use it in the upcoming tournament. I really love the continuation through the pins and the energy it keeps to carry the pins. Seriously, with the Master, I never see two balls carry the pins like that. The first words that was coming out of my mouth was……WOW That’s Radical.

The new Guru Supreme is available since October 27th in your local Pro Shop. Like I said, that ball is RADICAL!

Specs: Left handed, 15mph, ~400 rev rate.
I took a different approach with the Guru Supreme, drilling 45*x6x40*, which places the pin just above my middle finger.  Being left handed, this drilling has given me more opportunity to open the lane with the Guru Supreme!  The down side is that I don't get the chance to play 4th/5th arrow often, but when I do need to, this ball has been a stud!  I have the cover at 3000 wet sand so I can see the ball push through the fronts, begin reading in the mids and through the pins very easy.  The great part (in my opinion) about the Guru line, is the core.  When matched up correctly, this core just knows how to carry the energy through the pins and knock them all over.  This allows me to be in a similar part of the lane as my Mighty, but the difference in drilling gives a different shape down lane.

Here is the new addition to the Guru series, the Guru Supreme.  This Guru as the same core as the other one.  The difference is in the cover stock, they tweaked it but adding projection additives. 

I punched the Supreme the same way I punched the Master,  50 X 5” X 35.

On the lane, the Supreme out hooks all the other Gurus.  I had to move 2 and 1 left compared to my Master.  It goes longer and makes a sharper break point than.  Because of the back end it covers more boards. 

Like all the other Radical balls, the cover can be changed easily.  For people with more speed, you take the surface down to a 1000 grit or even 500 grit and the ball will still recovers great.  For people with lower ball speed, you can put some polish on it.  By doing it, you add some feet on the length of the ball and it makes a sharper turn. 

This ball is designed for heavy oil paterns. For people who want to use it on a house shot, or use it more often, you can punch it with a low flare layout and you will calm this beast. 

To conclude, the Guru Supreme is the most hooking ball on the market!  If you want to have a solution to long patern or want to curve the whole lane, here is the ball of choice.

Drilled up my Guru Supreme 45x5.25x75 (pin below middle finger) similar to my Ruckus Feud and Hell Raiser Revenge which both rolled great and have seen hundreds of games.  I love this layout on asym solids as it allows me to traction the front part of the lane when the heads are slick, yet have a controllable shape off the end of the pattern, making it ideal for fresh med/heavy conditions. 

Out of box the Guru Supreme tractioned as quick as any ball in my bag, so I took it up to 3k to make it useable on a wider variety of patterns (I could always take it back down if I ever did run into true heavy oil).  As far as ball motion, it is the best of both worlds between my Hell Raiser Revenge (heavy rolling) as opposed to my Ruckus Feud (corners a little harder) but with a covertock that is a step stronger.  It is most effective when I am just inside the track with speed, but with speed/axis adjustments has given me good carry as deep as 5th arrow.
Thus far, I have found it to be an excellent ball for fresh and the first transition, but I have ran into carry problems beginning in game 3, where I am either forced too far left or am fighting to get the ball to the breakpoint consistently. In that situation, I would switch to a midrange solid like the Ridiculous or Diva and immediately find that extra length and downlane motion that I desire.
In conclusion, if you are looking for a tank to handle heavy oil, but not burn up around the corner that takes well to surface adjustments, the Guru Supreme will be a welcome addition to your bag

COMMENTS

Likes: As with the Guru line these are very strong cores wrapped around different but aggressive covers .I used my typical layout 45 x 5 x 70 hole down on val ,a little larger and deeper and put about two dozen games on it without making any changes to the cover . There are for me subtle differences but not night and day differences this and the Master . it maybe a little stronger and with a bit more pickup in the mids with a very strong continuous look . Tweaking the cover with different pads caused the usual reactions , but this ball needs oil !!!!!

Dislikes: None
