The Pride™ line comes roaring back with the newest addition, the Pride Liberty.  A fearless ode to the spirit of American craftsmanship, the hybrid Pride Liberty commands attention on and off the lanes. The Pride series is the benchmark for medium oil ball motion, and this new hybrid Pride Liberty is the stronger and more angular upgrade to the original Pride. This isn't just another bowling ball; it's a statement piece, standing as a powerful tribute to all things bold and indomitable.

At its heart beats the mighty Dominion core.  Featuring a 2.50 RG, .042 differential, and .010 asymmetry, the Dominion core bridges the gap between the Gear APG, found in the Black Venom and the Overload core found in the Evoke.  This unique benchmark asym spec range allows bowlers to wield an asymmetrical ball on lower volumes and higher friction than the Evoke or Jackals allow.  Additionally, asymmetrical cores help players to control ball motion more than most symmetrical cores now that weight holes are illegal in competition.

Wrapped around this core is the latest innovation in our arsenal - Dynamic Propulsion Hybrid Reactive coverstock. Imagine a cover that’s cleaner than the Pride Dynasty, yet as assertive in its down lane motion as the Pride Empire.  This hybrid cover blends the best of both worlds to create a ball motion that will get through the front of the lane with ease without losing any bite on the backend.

WHEN TO USE:

Speed Dominant Bowlers - The Pride Liberty should fit well in the bag of a speed dominant bowler looking for a control ball on moderate to moderate-high friction environments.  The hybrid shell should make the Pride Liberty a versatile middle of the bag option for speed dominant bowlers.  With some added surface, it can be a controllable medium oil ball, but with a bit of shine, a piece to use later in the block for moderate-dry lanes.

Balanced Bowlers - For balanced bowlers the Pride Liberty is a great “lane reader".  This will serve as an outstanding first ball out of the bag for bowlers looking to get a great idea of what’s going on with the lanes.  The Pride Liberty will also be outstanding for fresh to moderately broken down lanes for many house shots.

Rev Dominant Bowlers - Most rev dominant players had trouble using the Pride Dynasty because of the exceedingly strong coverstock.  A cleaner and more angular cover allows Rev dominant players to throw the Pride Liberty when speed dominant players would use a Pride Dynasty; granting them great command of the pattern in moderately high concentrations of fresh oil.

The asymmetric Dominion™ core will enable players to control ball motion more than most symmetric cores.  MOTIV® Tour Rep, Brett Spangler, said, “What’s so cool about this core to me is that I never felt like I was throwing an asym.  I get the versatility of the asymmetrical core, but the Pride™ never wanted to go too forward down lane or glue up too much in the front.  To have the versatility of an asym without some of the traditional drawbacks is incredible.”
