Hi everyone, I hope all is going well in the first half of the fall bowling season!
I decided to “try” to replace my current benchmark ball that I have used in league since last year. The Roto Grip Hustle X-Ray. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my 2 X-Rays but was looking to see if there was a “better” ball. I have drilled other balls from the three brands, and I have liked or loved them, but nothing has been so “steady” for me like the Hustle X-
Ray.
My first few rolls were better than I anticipated, I was able to start 5 boards right of my normal starting spot on the approach, but still use my target right between the 2 tracer boards down lane. I was able to stay in that area for about 40 consistent shots. Which with the X-Ray or the Ion Pro, I would have been adjusting after about 25-30 shots. My strike percentage increased by 12% over the Ion Pro and X-Ray in the same 40 consistent shots. Where I would leave blow out 10’s with the Ion Pro and weak 7’s with the X-Ray, the Sublime Focus gave me a little extra kick when carrying the corner pins. After I completed these 40 shots, I started working with the Focus by closing and opening my launch angles I was able to work with the Focus across the whole lane. Where my other 2 choices would have been a little harder to cover all the same territory on the lane, the Sublime Focus covered it all. Watching clients using them during Matchmaker events, I must encourage them to try it because they see all the hype on the Ion Pro and Ion Max, that once they try it, they lean towards the Sublime Focus. My honest opinion is that the Sublime Focus is the BEST 900 Global since they introduced the original Zen several years ago. Please DO NOT lose FOCUS on this ball. See your local Pro Shop Operator and check out what the hype is all about.
