15lb Super Carbide Bomb
Got the super Carbide Bomb because I loved my black cherry bomb, I left it polished the way it came, I was vey impressed with this ball, I will usually sand off the factory finished but I wanted to see what it would do. In not a high rev player with this ball I dont have to be, I have a relaxed easy shot and every time it went to the pocket, Only time I missed was when I threw it to hard and it got got stuck in oil.

It found the pocket every time. I must admit that I did leave ten pins even though the ball hits hard in the pocket. I love the ball so much Im gonna get another but   keep it sanded down like my black cherry bomb.

Went to a house that has synthetics with a little oil and the ball reacted like the specs say. Next went to a house with wood lanes and dry, the ball just really hooked more, I had to keep speed on it but is still went back into the pocket. Im still learning this ball but on the first day got a 208 which is good for me,

this balls a winner guys.

Got my second scb drilled in the thumb leverage pattern, I had his one drilled to break early. Got it used and had it plugged. Im just as happy as I am with the other one, Ball is very forgiving for me on oily and dry conditions, Very good oil ball.

The thing I like the most is that you dont have to have high revs to get great reations out of this ball, If you do have high revs its a very good plus. I had issues with really wet conditions that the scb can handle. This is a winner.

Just got this ball used and had to change the finger tips and move the thumb hole. Tried it for the first time tonight and at first was not impressed. Ball did not move as expected. After 2 games I started to figure this ball out. The key: let the ball do the job its supposed to. Don't force it, let it roll out and come back. I was standing at about 25 getting the ball over at 10 and down to 5 then the ball came back with the force of a mack truck. Strung 9 in a row then left a weak 8 in the 10th. Ended up with a 277. Overall I am impressed and Tomorrow night right after they oil the lanes I will really get to see what this ball can do and let you now how it really handles the oil.  Well got a chance to throw this through some oil. The ball reacted very well, did dull it down to about 600 to get some better backend on it and scores were decent 205, 190, 198. With a little more practice and fine tuning this ball will undoubtedly become the ball of choice for med heavy to heavy oil conditions.  One note When the lanes start to dry put this ball away. No amount of polish, or surface change will keep this ball on the lane properly. It will either hook off the lane into the 7 or die and give you one of those sickly dead hits that sounds like a marshmallow hitting a brick wall.  Good bowling and remember if you can't have fun with bowling then give it up.

I have had this ball for about a year, but haven't bowled for 8 months. So this is more of a "then and now" review. When I first saw the SCB roll I knew I had to have one. I hadn't seen a ball hit the pins that good/hard in a long time. So for about the final four months of last season it was always first ball out of my bag. It sort of set "the bar" for the rest of my equipt. Till I eventually went to all Lane #1 equipt. I just started up bowling again...boy I'd forgotten how great this ball is. If you've never had one (or lane #1) you owe yourself. Enjoy.

I've gotta say the SBC did its job for about the first 7 months.  Killed pins and came back on about any lane condition.  It would, once upon a time, hook entirely across the lane with house oil conditions if you put enough revs on it.  All in all i was very happy and proud of my Lane 1 ball...when i first received it.  After about 7 months it it totally different.  The ball is practically dead.  It has soaked up so much oil in the past month it is impossible to use.  Right now i'm soaking the ball in Hot water 15 min. every time i use it.  Its the only way you can get it to hook.  I give it a 8/10 the first 6 months...1/10 the rest.

I have had this ball for over a year now and i still love it. When i first got it of course i had to get my track worked into it and after that it was all over my avg. went up by about 6 pins. This ball rolled nice through the heads and finished so strong, i was WOWED by this ball. I bowled my first 300 with this ball. I can't say anything bad about this one. I LOVE IT!!!!
