Emerge Hybrid - House pattern

When I saw the emerge hybrid on first 10 I thought this ball is going to be good on house patterns.  Anytime you can get a ball in the oil as well as to the friction and it doesn’t over hook then you have a winner.  When I got my hands on the Emerge Hybrid I was lucky enough to be on a house pattern.  It was simply let it roll to the friction and watch it come back.  Miss in a little as long as the release was good enough the Emerge Hybrid still went through the pins or deflected well enough.  Reaction is mild not overly aggressive and not that ball you want in a large volume of oil.  This could be a benchmark piece, first ball out the bag no matter what you are bowling on.  The read will be true, what is even better the finish through the pins or lack thereof is true.  Any time you have a bowling ball that will help you see ok this is it or ok this might not be it that is a win-win.  Oh I forgot to mention first shot once the lights came on with the Emerge Hybrid stone 9 pin, so if you have read any of my other reviews that is when I knew it was perfect for me.
