How it moves

Foul lineArrows · 15 ft41 ft · board 35.5° entry
Hockey-stick turn (asymmetric core). Dotted is skid, then the turn, then the roll into the pocket. Estimated from the coverstock, finish, core, and differential for a right-handed bowler with medium revs on a house shot. Lane conditions, speed, and layout move all of this.

1000 Matte. Bites through heavy oil, so the ball reads the lane early and hooks sooner. Sanded balls (500 to 1000 grit) live here. Surface changes over games, and a pro shop can take any ball either way with a pad.
