Slight differences, but hey, I will take a Bank Roll rerelease any day of the week!

R.G. & Diff match with the Bank Roll, but Mamba cover is at a T pad vs. E pad on the Bank Roll. Core numbers and cover strength as well as finish mirror the Shred-it. I missed out on the Shred-It, might be one to get in lieu of the Shred-It or Bank Roll. I would imagine this one will fly under the radar as well.

Mamba Hybrid Asymmetric SRC core.... Shred-It Symmetric (half-metrical core).              . Same numbers.... Let the video comparison begin...

Agreed. I am hopeful that despite the difference in the core shape, and similarities in core numbers, the ball will be similar to the Shred-It.

I never really did match up with the Bank Roll. I think the cover was just too strong for me but then I would polish it and it would just go longer and give me the same reaction downlane. There would be times it matched up well but not usually on THS. Had some big games with it but never really got used unless the lanes were funky and I could get straighter with the Bank Roll. I loved the Bank and Bank Pearl though they were great.

I'm looking forward to the release of the Mamba Hybrid. I currently don't have a new hybrid in my arsenal and this could fit in nicely. I've heard from Eric Thomas that if you liked the Bank Pearl this is a ball you should take a look at. Same core numbers and similar coverstock with the exception the Mamba is a hybrid. Should be a great addition to everyone's bag.

I just drilled the Mamba Hybrid, practiced about 10 games and was really surprised at the versatility of this ball, with the pin over ring finger and the Mb just to the righjt of my thumb, this ball give me that head length, and controlled entry angle that keeps me on top of the pattern longer. OOB surface will perfect for league bowling and tournament condition were control is a must. I get a continous roll through the pocket from a number of angles with that driving reaction I like to see in a ball. Again 900Global guys has put great balls in the bowlers hands jimensminger
