Although it is fun to hook the ball coast to coast, sometimes hitting the pocket consistently is more important. The Joy Ride features a lower friction, highly polished pearl Reactor material which limits traction between the ball and the lane. And the all-new Cruiser Core produces a modest amount of flare potential to help you control the ball’s path.
Reactor Pearl Coverstock
In use for over a decade, the Reactor coverstock is still going strong. When something has been this successful there is no reason to get rid of it. Reactor material is moderately aggressive, but still offers a fair amount of control without over-reacting on the backend.
Cruiser Core
The Cruiser Core is a very long, smoother option which is viable for those looking for more control on the backend. The higher RG and lower differential provides a shape that retains axis rotation without over-reacting as it exits the end of the pattern. This core is perfect for those looking to conquer even the most hooking conditions.
