The last month or so I have had the great pleasure of getting to know and working with Jack Jurek. Jack was gracious enough to provide us with a honest, non biased, opinion on the new Seismic TSE line. I gotta say he sure does live up to the nick name "Gentleman Jack" as he is by far the nicest PBA bowler I have had the honer of speaking with. See below for his review.

Hi Jason,
I finally got a chance to get a few days of throwing the new Seismic TSE balls, the Raging Bull, Desperado and the Solaris. I have to say I was really curious to test these out with the concept of using the same cover on different cores to really see what effect the core has on ball motion. I also got the chance to throw the Solaris Platinum so that also gave me the chance to see the effect the cover has on the motion of a ball.
I found the Raging Bull and Solaris to be nice compliments to each other. The Raging Bull seems to read the midlane a little sooner and is a nice strong arc. The Solaris being a strong symmetric gave me just a little more length with a little stronger move on the back end. The Desperado for me being a higher RG and lower Differential definitely held a much tighter line that will be a little more effective for me when the lanes start to break down. I was really impressed by the difference in motion in all 3 balls using the same cover and the same layout in each ball. For me personally and my game, I found the Raging Bull and the Solaris to be a better match for my game.
Now for the comparison between the Solaris TSE and the Solaris Platinum. Again I used the same layout in both balls so I got to see the difference that the coverstock makes in a ball. Again for me, I was impressed with the difference in motion in these two balls. The TSE was more hook overall and a little stronger than the Platinum. The Platinum was much cleaner through the front part of the lane. These two balls will make a nice compliment to each other.
For those of you out there that aren't afraid to step out and try something new, I would say you will be impressed with Seismic. It looks like I will get the chance to test out a couple other balls from Seismic. I'm looking forward to that and again I will try to post a review for you.
Jack
