Ok come on guy's who's rolled the stealth and what are you seeing from it?
-
It's not even released yet.
-
Since its Stealth you shouldn't see anything!!!! I don't care who you are that right there was funny. ;D
-
Doom l know not until the 25th but figured someone has got one and rolled it by now.
Soup, that is funny
-
Judging by my NHSE, it's going to be a big smooth arc with great continuation. I wish I knew if they were making it Dig or not.
-
Agreed I luv my NHSE and was just wondering
-
We still have one 15# SE in our warehouse with a 2.5-3 pin.
-
I still have a NIB sitting waiting for me.

I've had the chance to use this one this week. Overall the ball reaction is pretty smooth. With an F78 cover I was expecting a little more hook that what I see, but what I do see is that if I pull this into the oil that shell will get into a roll instead of skidding out.
I've thrown this at 2 different houses with very similar shots. The house with the weaker backends this wasn't a great option for me unless I kept the speed up and stayed behind it. At the house with the cleaner backends I think just became my goto ball. Miss out it gets back and no crazy jumps, miss in and it still gets into a roll.
I never drilled the Night Hawk SE so I can't compare to that ball, but based on what I've seen so far I might have to change that.

I just loved the original Nighthawk! Was very good to me in leagues,and tournaments.

I will be happy to give a review when I get mine soon!
-
Keep me posted Doom!

I'm new to this forum so don't be too hard on me.
I just came back to the sport after 6 year hiatus. So I needed some new spheres due to the fact all my old stuff was cracked up. I had good luck with the amf nighthawk original so I thought I'd give the latest nighthawk stealth se a try.
I had my local pro shop guy drill one up for me. My first three frames were open trying to find a shot. Got lined up and went 214. Only had time for one game and the next time I threw the ball was 5 days later. League nite pulled out the stealth 1st game 200 second game 258 third game 202 with open in the 10th due to brain freeze. This ball held the same line all night the only time it didn't strike was when I missed. I think this ball reads the lane well and just finds the pocket. Very forgiving ball.
BTW I had high of the night and took home the money. These scores may sound low but we bowl in a 1950s brickyard. Scratch bowlers here 180 tough house. Only 3 guys have thrown 300 games in 67 years.

Well league night again. 1st game 230 2nd game 220 3rd game 194 . I never needed to move all night. I love this ball. Gave me about 3 boards to play with. If I was a better bowler this ball would strike at will. Like I said in the previous post this is a tough house and I'm only a 180 avg. Bowler.
Looks like my avg. Will be going UP!
Is anyone on here using this ball or am I one of the lucky few?
-
Nighthawk Stealth SE is a nice blend of strength up front and smoothness on the backend. All without sacrificing carry and continuation through the pins. Definitely is one that will once again fly under the radar.
-
You can't mess with the Night Hawk core.
-
This ball is incredible ! It carries from all over the pocket and gives me more boards to play with than anything. The guys I bowl with call it the MAGIC BALL. And I couldn't agree more.

Drilling: 90 x 4.25 x 70
Pin position: Below bridge
I drilled the Nighthawk Stealth with a particular motion in mind, something that starts up early while maintaining a predictable, continuous downlane motion, and that's exactly what I got with this drilling. The out of box coverstock is strong enough to get the ball in a roll very early, but the ball never seems to lose energy down lane. I have been using this on the Kegel Route 66 pattern and it has been perfect as the first ball out of the bag. I do have a very heavy roll on the ball, so with the cover as aggressive as it is I do need some head oil for optimum performance, but when I am able to use this ball it is a game changer.

I've been trying to replace this ball as my go to ball but this thing just keeps on working on a wide variety of conditions. Carries all over the pocket. I can't say enough good things about this ball.
I know that AMF is kind of obscure and obsolete but the nighthawk line is a good match up for me.

+1 on AMF in general. My AMF Sumo is still my favorite urethane ball. That thing works decent on THS 25 years after release for me even with my low revs. The gunsmoke cobra looks damn good is a great spare ball as well.
-
I'm still waiting on putting holes in mine. Might need to punch it up, though. Don't need that much cover yet. Still super excited about this ball.
-
doom. i'd love to here your take on this ball.
-
Well, I love my NHSE, so a stronger cover should roll like the bomb for me. Going to lay it out just like my NHSE. 5*65 with no hole.
