Drilled up the NEW Mmaba Hybrid 5" from PAP, pin up, MB directly under the thumb.  Awesome reaction OOB.  This Mamba has a touch more control on THS BUT that takes nothing away from it's performance!  Ball with 4000 grit finish gives me good skid up front, a little midlance and a hard arc/snap on backend.  Let's me stay in track area longer and also gives me the skid pop to move in when lanes break down.  Have 4 series with it in league, nothing over 719, nothing under 703.  This one is about performing.  Like the versatile cover, tried it polished on a 2nd shift condition with good results.  More skid, same arc snap.  For my slower ball speed this is a use all-the-time ball.  Thanks to AMF!!

I drilled this ball pin above the bridge with the mass bias right next to the thumb, giving it a some length down lane with a strong backend. I have thrown this ball in several leagues and its great on the fresh and hits hard and throws the pins around.

The New Purple Mamba Hybrid is an eye appealing ball with a monster personality. I drilled the Purple Mamba 4 X 3 exactly like my Green mamba and even with its 4000-grit finish the ball gives me great length with a smooth mid-lane and a good arc/snap movement to the backend. This ball compared to the Green and Black Mambas allows me to play the track area much longer without losing the finish at the back of the lane. I added polish to the ball and it increased the length but retained the same break point shape angle. This ball will compliment any ball speed and rev rate which makes this ball extremely versatile. This ball is a winner from AMF!!!! If you don’t buy this ball your not a winner!!!!!                                                                                             

I've only had my Mamba Hybrid for about a week, and all I can say is...WOW. It definitely gets a lot of looks when it hits the lanes. The cover is very forgiving, and the core just absolutely compliments it as well. Not too strong, not too weak for a 4000 neaT pad surface. Very smooth with a predictable arc. Pins can kiss the rack goodbye, because they won't be there to be picked up by it! Since the Black Mamba was a beast, and the Green Mamba was a strong roller, the Mamba Hybrid is the quiet cousin in the corner of the room....until it finds PINS.

Likes:I don't know where to begin with the superlatives to describe this ball. It is just flat out awesome. This hybrid coverstock has made this the best mamba yet. This ball keeps the pins low and sends them flying from sideboard to sideboard. I love the shape of this ball as it hits the pins, which I believe has a lot to do with its new hybrid cover. This mamba hybrid definitely has the biggest change of direction of all the mambas yet. In my first nine games bowling on a fresh league pattern I have shot 4-250+ games a 278 and a 268, not too shabby. I layed this one out with a six inch pin and also dirty ragged the cover of ball to get it to save a little more energy. Well done AMF!!

Very smooth and controllable.  Allows me to open up the lane more than the previous 2 mamba's.  Very versatile and allows me to play a variety of angles to the pocket.
