Need a ball for heavier conditions?  Look no further than the Mastermind Einstein.  This hybrid will easily get through the fronts with a strong mid lane reaction and an even stronger motion on the backend.  It'll give you a great compliment to a Mastermind Scholar.  Its a little sooner than the Scholar but also stronger.  If you ever have a problem with carry down this will be the ball to throw.  I was able to open my angles up and just keep moving left and not once did it not make the corner.  If you are in the market for a strong hybrid, look no further than the Mastermind Einstein.  Your going to want this ball in you bag

I drilled this ball 60x5x70 which is a one of my favorite layouts. This ball was quite the surprise when it hit the lanes. Those of you who love that Mastermind signature reaction will love how this ball seems to be a great combo of all of them rolled into one. I was able to play multiple angles without losing carry or having it read to early. This ball was clean thru the front and read well down lane with endless recovery. If you loved the back end movement of the Scholar you'll love the Einstein and it's ability to provide similar angle without being as sensitive to oil.

My Einstein had the pin an inch above and inside the of middle finger with the MB about half an inch outside of my thumb. This is my favorite layout. That being said, this makes my Einstein have the most angular flip of any Mastermind I have. It hits harder than all of my Masterminds and is a great addition to bag. It has a little more midlane than the Scholar and Genius and not as much early hook as the original Mastermind. If I start out using the Genius I'll change to the Einstein if I lose backend and the same with the Mastermind.

If you're looking for that go to ball for fresh or a shot that has carried down, the Mastermind Einstein is the ball for you.

COMMENTS


Likes: Overall hook and ability to handle transition



Dislikes: none

The Mastermind Einstein has the combination of all the great traits of the Mastermind Series combined into one.  It has a strong read of the mid lane and plenty of hook like the original Mastermind.  The Einstein has the easy length through the front like the Genius.  It has the continuation down lane like the Intellect.  The Mastermind Einstein also has the down lane hook like the Mastermind Scholar.  It also has an added feature from the new coverstock technology.  This ball allows me to stay in the same area as the lane transitions longer than other equipment.  I seem to be able to get an extra few frames per lane before I have to move in and open my angles more.  This is a trait you typically see in a urethane or weaker reactive resin ball.  It doesn't mean I can stand in the same spot all night but being able to stand in the same spot a few frames longer could be the key to throwing a few more strikes per game.  I can hook the lane with this ball and open my angles or I can close my angles while playing up the boards.  If you have the ability to change the Einstein will change with you.  It hooks a few boards more than the Mastermind Scholar and starts its move a few feet sooner.  With 2000 Siaair on it the Mastermind Scholar proved to be too much ball for the 47 foot Scorpion pattern and I had to go back to the box finish.  With 1000 Siaair I could see it being a go to ball in oil.  It seems to work best on the house condition at the 4000 box finish and if I was going to use it as my primary ball I would probably put some Royal Compound on it.  Overall, the Mastermind Einstein is powerful, versatile, and a lot of fun to throw!  If you are looking for a strong ball that handles lane transition check one out today.

Drilled a Einstein with 60 x 4.75 x 50 to be a compliment to my Scholar and Intellect.  The Intellect has been one of my favorite balls for its ability to read the lane and never missing the break point.  The Einstein being a Hybrid and slightly higher RG allow this ball to push a little further and be more angular than my Intellect.  I would put it at 2-1 stronger than my Intellect and allows me to go around a pattern a little more than I could before.  It is a perfect ball when a Scholar is having trouble reading the lane.  I think the slightly higher RG in this ball and new cover stock material is going to make this ball great for opening your angles up and be a little more flippy down lane either on the fresh, or when you need to try to open up a pattern. 

World Wide Release: 7/7/2015

Drilling: 45 x 5.5 x 30

What I got from the Mastermind Einstein was exactly what I was looking for with this new release.  The motion I get from this ball reminds me so much of the original Mastermind.  The difference between the two is that you will see much more versatility from the Einstein due to it not needing as much oil.  The ball has a very clean reaction through the front part of the lane but still does not over react to the friction.  Very excited to throw this ball in the upcoming tournament season. GO GET YOURS TODAY!

The Mastermind Einstein brings the best characteristics of the series into one package. The ball is very clean through the front part of the lane with really strong midlane traction and the most continuous backend motion of all of the balls. The ball finishes the furthest left off of the end of the lane for me compared to all of my other Mastermind balls. The carry this ball creates is, in my opinion the best of the series. If you’re looking for a ball for fresh patterns that goes through the pins extremely well this is your ball. Get to your local proshop and start outsmarting the competition today!
