The original UFO was one of the strongest asymmetrical solids to date. The UFO Alert features the same ET core although this time matched with the E-Trax hybrid cover to prevent reading and grabbing the front part of the lane. With the pearl and polish elements the ball will get through the initial part of the lane without burning up and provide plenty of motion down lane. The hybrid nature of the ball allows it to be more controllable at the break point. This ball is a great step down off the original UFO or any stronger solids, asymmetrical or symmetrical. Also, if the lanes are hooking to early the UFO Alert would be a great ball to begin with.
