Strongest ball I currently own. I am quite surprised with how much this ball moves down lane even though it is a solid. Easy choice for me if I want to move left and open the lane up.

I feel this ball gets overlooked but this is a really good option for me to go to. One of my more versatile pieces and is a great option to go to after the Quantum Evo Solid. I can keep it in the oil and the ball will not over hook on me for it. I have also found success with this ball playing straighter and staying a little further right which is where I feel this ball's strength is truly found.

As someone who has never owned a Black Widow up until this, I am extremely impressed with how easily this core rolls for an asymmetric. It does not have a massive jump down lane, but I have never found a breaking point for this ball to where it will not hook or hit flat. This ball will be extremely difficult to replace.

A ball that fits between my Quantum Evo Solid and low flare Counter Attack Solid. It is predictable, smooth, and very controllable. It could easily be a benchmark ball or a solid symmetric option to open the lane up more than the Counter Attack will.

My current benchmark ball in my arsenal. I didn't know what this ball was at first for me because I was not used to a pearl with a surface like this. After some experimentation, I found this ball fits perfectly as a benchmark for anything and anywhere I go whether I am on a sport pattern or going somewhere unfamiliar. I feel this should be called the Bonus Hybrid considering how early this ball reads for a pearl. Definitely is a ball I don't go back to after the first 2 games or so.

My first ball that I bought after switching back to Brunswick. Think a Melee Jab but slightly earlier because this is a hybrid cover instead of the pearl cover. It is not as early as the Knock Out's even though the core is the same.

This ball was specifically chosen for my bag to replace the Motiv Venom Panic. The main difference between the two is that the Intel is slightly cleaner but it has a little more backend. The first ball I got drilled with a 4 and 5/8 pin to PAP which I feel is my sweet spot. This ball became an instant favorite after getting it drilled and seeing the motion and power the ball has.

Another versatile ball for me. This is my first ball out of the bag when I go to my Wednesday league because I can easily control the motion but it also allows me to open the lane up before going to something a little bit cleaner when I start seeing carry down. This is another interesting ball to go to when the asymmetrics are too much ball but I still need to pick up the pattern.

I mean...do I really need to explain? Also, urethane is, in my opinion, essential in anyone's arsenal.
