 COMMENTS

This is one of the best sport pattern/tournament balls I’ve ever used.  The cover of this ball has all the traction any bowler needs.  It has a very strong and predictable reaction. It reads the end of the pattern smoothly but maintains great hitting power from many different angles.  I’ve been able to use it deep into 8 game blocks and for complete 4 game blocks.  I tried to use it on house patterns, but for me it didn’t match up very well.  I’ve seen other bowlers with higher rev rates kill league shots with the Tyrant, but I have to play a little too close to the friction for it to be effective.  If you bowl on sport or challenge patterns, you need this ball in your arsenal
