Green Mamba
« on: June 16, 2012, 07:29:23 PM »
I drilled the new Green Mamba for my wife today and she was able to try it out at a tournament.  At first it looked like it wasn't going to do much of anything but after a few shots to get used to it, it started to flip hard through the middle.  After a few splits, had to put it away.  Definitely needs some oil.

On another note, this thing gets dirty.  1 game and it looks like the pictures.  Reminds me of the old white xs.

Matt,

How do you like it compared to the other balls using the SRC? It looks pretty mean. In my opinion, in the 900/AMF family, the Nuts core and the SRC are two of the best cores they have (Other than the Break weightblock. That goes without saying.)

I am putting holes in a Bank Roll today, have a Bank, and love my Nuts Pearl. I can't pass up any ball with the Soaker cover on it, so the Look is a certainty. So probably looking to order a Green Mamba, and a Cobra and Bull Whip once fall starts up.

Well, this second edition in the mamba far exceeds the first, not only in eye appeal but in performance too.  I used a simple pin down drilling (similar to my break-out that I use at USBC’S), the result was a very clean and predictable roll with the ball reading the front/middle part of the lane and then still retaining energy to go through the pins.  What I really like about this ball is that I can play surprisingly far in with it and the ball is very versatile, which is a great selling point for pro shop operators.  The ball is super clean through the front part of the lane, thus more back end reaction and better pin carry.  This would certainly be a great ball for a bowler who is looking for a high performance ball that he/she can use on a variety of patterns and surfaces.
