The last three Hybrid covered releases Nomad Dagger, Infinite Theory and Rising Star have been some of the most versatile balls that I have had in quite some time. 

 

I bowl in two PBAX leagues and one THS league.  For the first time in years I have equipment that can be use to equal effectiveness on both the THS and the varied PBAX patterns.  For example my Rising Star is the first ball out of my bag on the THS league but I also used the Rising Star to some great success on Viper, Cheetah and Chameleon.  My Nomad Dagger also gets used during the THS league and played exceptionally well on Scorpion, Shark, Dick Weber, Masters  and Earl Anthony.

 

I just came back from Reno where I used (2) Infinite Theory to score 1931 in All-Events.

 

I have seen a lot of the better players using the Nomad Dagger and the Rising Star recently.

 

They seem to take surface changes easily and the results are quite positive.

 

The newer Hybrid covers seem to match more player styles and lane conditions.

 

Let me know what you think...

Good shooting at the Nationals Mike.  Question about the team event.  I have all 3 at box condition plus a Theory at box condition.  Was wondering which Infinite Theory you used to start the team event with.  I am thinking of leaving my Infinite Theory at box and taking the Theory down to 1000.  I am a low end tweener with moderate speed and revs.  Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.

I am thinking that as well.  After talking with a few local folks who have been to Reno already, will now leave everything at box.  Theory, Infinite Theory, Dagger, Rising Star, Dark Star and spare.  Will probably talk to the guys at the Roto/Storm booth as well when I get there.  Thanks for your help.

Glad to hear it.  Since I bowl on two PBAX leagues I get to use different pieces regularly and I can tell you that the Hybrid covered balls has stabilized my carrying arsenal.  The Infinite Theory,  Dagger and Rising Star are usually in my bag each week.  The Rising Star sometimes comes out  when I am on longer patterns but the Dagger and Infinite Theory are always with me.

 

My teammates and I have a saying "ABC" - Always Bring a Cell.  Now I am thinking about modifying it....
