TENACI core

Rg 2.485 ~ Diff 0.054 ~ MB 0.027

New asymmetric core by SEISMIC, putting out more Mass Bias differential than our other releases. Key feature of the core is a shape which allows for drilling with a strong pin and psa location, while reducing the amount of inner core material removed.

Post by: ABSolut on June 16, 2013, 05:48:09 PM: Great vids Gunny!...I still want to see a vid of this ball with smaller drill angles. I think the lowest was the 50x4x15 suggested....
Title: Re: SEISMIC VENATOR
Post by: Gunny on June 16, 2013, 06:41:20 PM: my next one I drill is gonna be 65x4x25. I'll probably end up doing that after Bowl Expo.

With almost 4oz of top weight, it was hard to put that layout on either of these balls. I wanted to drill one close to my Long Horn, which is 60x3.75"x30. She is strong and rolly though.

The 75x5.25"x40 goes longer with more pop on the backend. If either sniffed the friction early it was runaway left all the way. I was able to play just as deep as the first VENATOR, just with more length and a booming backend.

Post by: tommymo on June 17, 2013, 01:51:12 PM: That certainly looks good! No one 's really using Seismic in our area . . . I have been wanting to make a few changes in my pro shop and my league and tournament bags. There's no time like the present . . .

Post by: TheGame300 on June 18, 2013, 08:42:59 AM: Any idea on a release date for it yet? I know some sites say early July but it is not even on Seismic's website yet. Thank You.
Title: Re: SEISMIC VENATOR
Post by: Gunny on June 19, 2013, 12:16:37 PM: Early July as far as I know. We will be showcasing it at Bowl Expo next week, than more than likely a release after that. When I get definitive date I will let you know.

Post by: mainzer on June 21, 2013, 06:27:04 PM: This ball dominates. The Motion off the spot is a little different than the Raging Bull line and it cut the pins to Ribbons

Haha! You guys are too funny! mainzer is right though, this ball is just ridiculous off the spot and through the pins. The 43ft Shark was no competition for the Venator.

First week of July release date for Venator. Right now we are having fun at Bowl Expo!

Hey John, what do you guys feel the buzz is like with Seismic and their push to be more recognizeable here in the states from out at the Expo? For me, the closest people who use Seismic is Sean Friendly in northern VA, and probably some folks down in the Carolinas. I'm really hoping that I can expose more people in the capitol city and surrounding areas to Seismic.
